Joshua 1
1 And after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, it happened that the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and he said to him:
上主的僕人梅瑟死了以後，上主對農的兒子，梅瑟的待從若蘇厄說：
2 “Moses, my servant, has died. Rise up, and cross this Jordan, you and all the people with you, into the land which I will give to the sons of Israel.
「我的的僕人梅瑟死了，你現在起來，和全體百姓萵約旦河，往我賜給他們，即以色列子民的地方去。
3 I will deliver to you every place that the step of your foot will tread upon, just as I said to Moses.
凡你們的腳踏過的地方，照我對梅瑟說的，我必賜給你們；
4 From the desert and from Lebanon, even to the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, as far as the great sea opposite the setting of the sun, shall be your border.
從曠野直到黎巴嫩，由大河，即幼發拉的河，赫特人的全境，直到大海日落之地，都是你們的領土。
5 No one will be able to resist you during all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you. I will not leave you, nor will I forsake you.
你有生之日，沒有人能抵抗你；過去我怎樣和梅瑟同在，也要怎樣和你同在，決不捨棄你。
6 Be strengthened and be steadfast. For you shall divide by lot, to this people, the land about which I swore to their fathers that I would deliver it to them.
你應勇敢果斷，因為你必須使這百姓，佔領我曾向他們祖先起誓賜給他們作產業的地方。
7 Therefore, be strengthened and be very steadfast, so that you may observe and accomplish the entire law, which Moses, my servant, instructed to you. You may not turn aside from it to the right, nor to the left. So may you understand all that you should do.
你只須勇敢，堅決果斷，不偏左右，謹守奉行我僕人梅瑟所吩咐你們的一切訓示，好使你無往不利。
8 The book of this law shall not depart from your mouth. Instead, you shall meditate upon it, day and night, so that you may observe and do all the things that are written in it. Then you shall direct your way and understand it.
這部法律書總不要離開你的口，你要日夜默想，好叫你能謹守奉行其中所記載的一切；這樣，你必能順利，必能成功。
9 Behold, I am instructing you. Be strengthened, and be steadfast. Do not dread, and do not fear. For the Lord your God is with you in all things, wherever you may go.”
我不是吩咐了你，你應勇敢果斷嗎﹖所以你不要害怕，也不要膽怯，因為你無論到那裏，上主你的的天主必與你同在。」
10 And Joshua instructed the leaders of the people, saying: “Cross through the midst of the camp, and command the people, and say:
以後若蘇厄向百姓的官長下令說：
11 ‘Prepare your food supplies. For after the third day, you shall cross the Jordan, and you shall enter so as to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.’”
「應走遍全營，吩咐百姓說：你們應準備食物，因為還有三天，就要過這約旦河，去佔領上主你的的天主賜與你的作產業的土地。
12 Likewise, he said to the Reubenites and to the Gadites, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh:
若蘇厄又對勒烏本人、加得人和默納協半支派的人說：
13 “Remember the words, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed to you, saying: ‘The Lord your God has given you rest, and has given you all the land.’
「你們應記起上主的僕人梅瑟吩咐你的的事。他說過：上主你的的天主將這地賜給你們，使你們獲得安居，
14 Your wives and sons, as well as the cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses delivered to you beyond the Jordan. But as for you, pass over with weapons, before your brothers, all you who are strong of hand, and fight on their behalf,
你們的婦孺和牲畜，可留在梅瑟在約旦河東賜你的的地方；但你們中所有的英勇戰士，都應武裝起來，在你們弟兄前過河，協助他們，
15 until the Lord gives rest to your brothers, just as he has given to you, and until they also possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to them. And so shall you be returned to the land of your possession. And you shall live in the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to you beyond the Jordan, opposite the rising of the sun.”
到直上主使你們的弟兄，像你們一樣，佔領了上主你們的天主，賜給他們作為產業的地方，即上主的僕人梅瑟在約旦河東，日出之地，賜予你們的地方。
16 And they responded to Joshua, and they said: “All that you have instructed to us, we shall do. And wherever you will send us, we shall go.
他們回答若蘇厄說：「凡你命令我們的，我們必都照辦；凡你派我們去的地方，我們一定去。
17 Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so shall we obey you also. But may the Lord your God be with you, just as he was with Moses.
我們在一切事上怎樣服從了梅瑟，也怎樣服從你；惟願上主你的的天主與你同在，如同與梅瑟同在一樣。
18 Whoever will contradict your mouth, and whoever will not obey all of your words, which you will instruct to him, let him die. But may you be strengthened, and may you act manfully.”
無論誰違背你的命令，不服從你吩咐他的一切訓示，必處死刑。但你應該勇敢果斷。」
