Joshua 1
1 Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke to Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and 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 is dead: arise, and pass over this Jordan, thou and thy people with thee, into the land which I will give to the children 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 sole of your foot shall tread upon, as I have 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 Libanus unto the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hethites unto the great sea toward the going; down 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 man shall be able to resist you all the days of thy life: as I have been with Moses, so will I be with thee: I will not leave thee, nor forsake thee.
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 Take courage, and be strong: for thou shalt divide by lot to this people the land, for 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 Take courage therefore, and be very valiant: that thou mayst observe and do all the law, which Moses my servant hath commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayst understand all things which thou dost.
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 Let not the book of this law depart from thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate on it day and night, that thou mayst observe and do all things that are written in it: then shalt thou direct thy 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 command thee, take courage, and be strong. Fear not and be not dismayed: because the Lord thy God is with thee in all things whatsoever thou shalt go to.
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 Josue commanded the princes of the people, saying: Pass 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 you victuals: for after the third day you shall pass over the Jordan and shall go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give 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 And he said to the Rubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses:
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 word, which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying: The Lord your God hath given you rest, and all this 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 children, and cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan: but pass you over armed before your brethren, all of you that are strong of hand, and fight for them,
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 give rest to your brethren as he hath given you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God will give them: and so you shall return into the land of your possession, and you shall dwell in it, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan, toward 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 made answer to Josue, and said: All that thou hast commanded us we will do; and whithersoever thou shalt send us, we will 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 As we obeyed Moses in all things, so will we obey thee also: only be the Lord thy God with thee, 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 He that shall gainsay thy mouth, and not obey all thy words, that thou shalt command him, let him die: only take thou courage, and do 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。」
