WMBB (Same as above)
MSG (1-9)After the death of Moses the servant of God, God spoke to Joshua, Moses’ assistant:
“Moses my servant is dead. Get going. Cross this Jordan River, you and all the people. Cross to the country I’m giving to the People of Israel. I’m giving you every square inch of the land you set your foot on—just as I promised Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon east to the Great River, the Euphrates River—all the Hittite country—and then west to the Great Sea. It’s all yours. All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I’ll be with you. I won’t give up on you; I won’t leave you. Strength! Courage! You are going to lead this people to inherit the land that I promised to give their ancestors. Give it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry out The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it. Don’t get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you’re going. And don’t for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed. Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take.”

1:1-9 God confirmed Joshua as Israel’s leader and Moses’ successor. God made Abraham a specific promise to bring his descendants into possession of the land of Canaan (Gen 12:7; 15:7; 17:8). This promise was repeated to Moses (Exod 3:6-8; 13:3-5; Deut 1:6-8; 6:10-19). Now God was ready to fulfill his promise using Joshua. Joshua led Israel’s first generation of settlers into the Promised Land, and his victories against two Canaanite coalitions—first in the south and then in the north—opened the hill country for settlement by the Israelites.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
חֲזַ֨ק וֶֽאֱמַ֜ץ מְאֹ֗ד
strong and,courageous very
These are the same two phrases that occurred in the previous verse, except the word very is added here for increased emphasis. See how you translated the phrase “Be strong and be courageous” in the previous verse and consider how you might add even more emphasis here. Alternate translation: “Be entirely courageous”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אַל־תָּס֥וּר מִמֶּ֖נּוּ
not (Some words not found in UHB: only strong and,courageous very to=guard/protect for=doing according_to,all the,law which/who commanded,you Mosheh servant,my not turn from=him/it right and,left so_that successful in/on/at/with,every which/who go )
Yahweh is speaking as if the law that Moses … commanded were literally a road that Joshua was walking on and as if Joshua might turn aside from it and walk on a different path. He means that Joshua must not stop living in the manner in which God commanded in the law. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Do not stop obeying it”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
יָמִ֣ין וּשְׂמֹ֑אול
right (Some words not found in UHB: only strong and,courageous very to=guard/protect for=doing according_to,all the,law which/who commanded,you Mosheh servant,my not turn from=him/it right and,left so_that successful in/on/at/with,every which/who go )
Yahweh is speaking of two things in order to mean them and everything in between. Continuing the image of the road, he means that Joshua should not go off the road in any direction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “in any way”
