Joshua 24
1 Joshua summoned all the tribes of Israel to Shechem. Then he called the elders, leaders, judges, and officials and they came and stood before the Tabernacle of God.
Un Jozuas sapulcināja visas Israēla ciltis Šehemē un sasauca Israēla vecajus un viņu virsniekus un viņu soģus un viņu priekšniekus, un tie atnāca Dieva priekšā.
2 Joshua said to all the people, “The Lord, the God of Israel, says this: ‘Long, long ago your forefathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River, and they worshiped other gods.
Tad Jozuas sacīja uz visiem tiem ļaudīm: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: viņpus upes jūsu tēvi vecos laikos ir dzīvojuši, Tārus, Ābrahāma un Nahora tēvs, un ir kalpojuši citiem dieviem.
3 I brought your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates and led him through all the land of Canaan and gave him many descendants. I gave him Isaac.
Tad Es ņēmu jūsu tēvu Ābrahāmu no viņas upes puses un tam liku staigāt caur visu Kanaāna zemi, un Es vairoju arī viņa dzimumu un devu viņam Īzaku.
4 I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau. I gave to Esau the hill country of Seir to own, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
Un Īzakam Es devu Jēkabu un Ēsavu, un Ēsavam Es devu Seīra kalnus par daļu, bet Jēkabs un viņa bērni nogāja uz Ēģiptes zemi.
5 I sent Moses and Aaron, and I brought plagues on the people of Egypt, and I brought you out.
Tad Es sūtīju Mozu un Āronu, un mocīju Ēģiptes zemi, tā kā Es viņas vidū esmu darījis, un pēc tam Es jūs izvedu.
6 Yes, I brought your forefathers out, but when you arrived at the Red Sea the Egyptians were chasing after your forefathers with chariots and horsemen.
Kad Es jūsu tēvus no Ēģiptes zemes biju izvedis, tad jūs nācāt pie jūras, un ēģiptieši jūsu tēviem dzinās pakaļ ar ratiem un ar jātniekiem līdz niedru jūrai.
7 Your forefathers called out to the Lord for help, and he placed darkness between you and the Egyptians. Then he brought the sea back over them and they drowned. You saw what I did with your own eyes in Egypt. Then you lived for many years in the wilderness.
Tad tie brēca uz To Kungu, un Viņš lika tumsību starp jums un ēģiptiešiem, un Viņš lika jūrai pār tiem nākt un tos apklāja, un jūsu acis redzējušas, ko Es Ēģiptes zemē esmu darījis. Pēc tam jūs ilgu laiku esat dzīvojuši tuksnesī.
8 After that I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought against you but I handed them over to you to defeat and you took over their land. I destroyed them before you.
Un Es jūs vedu Amoriešu zemē, kas viņpus Jardānes dzīvoja: tie pret jums karoja, bet Es tos nodevu jūsu rokā, un jūs iemantojāt viņu zemi, un Es tos izdeldēju jūsu priekšā.
9 When Balak, son of Zippor, the king of Moab, wanted to fight against Israel, he sent for Balaam, son of Beor, to come and curse you.
Tad Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moabiešu ķēniņš, cēlās un karoja pret Israēli; un viņš nosūtīja un lika aicināt Bileāmu, Beora dēlu, jūs nolādēt.
10 But I wasn't willing to listen to Balaam, so instead he blessed you repeatedly, and saved you from Balak.
Bet Es Bileāmu negribēju klausīt, un viņš svētīdams jūs svētīja, un Es jūs izglābu no viņa rokas.
11 You crossed the Jordan and arrived at Jericho where the men of Jericho fought against you. So did the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Un jūs cēlāties pār Jardāni un nācāt uz Jēriku; tad Jērikus iedzīvotāji pret jums karoja, Amorieši, Ferezieši un Kanaānieši un Hetieši un Ģirgozieši un Hivieši un Jebusieši, bet Es tos nodevu jūsu rokās.
12 But I handed them over to you to defeat. And I sent the hornet before you to drive out the two kings of the Amorites. You did not win using your swords or your bows!
Un Es sūtīju jūsu priekšā dundurus, tie tos priekš jums izdzina, kā arī tos divus Amoriešu ķēniņus, ne caur tavu zobenu, ne caur tavu stopu.
13 I gave you a land you didn't work for and towns you didn't build. Now you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves you didn't plant.’
Un Es jums devu zemi, ko tu neesi apkopis, un pilsētas, ko jūs neesat uzcēluši, ka tur dzīvojat, vīna dārzus un eļļas kokus, ko jūs neesat dēstījuši, ka no tiem ēdat.
14 So respect the Lord and worship him, sincerely and faithfully. Get rid of the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and worship the Lord.
Un nu bīstaties To Kungu un kalpojiet Viņam skaidri un taisni, un atmetiet tos dievus, kam jūsu tēvi viņpus upes un Ēģiptes zemē ir kalpojuši, un kalpojiet Tam Kungam.
15 But if you don't want to worship the Lord, choose today who you want to worship! Is it going to be the gods your forefathers worshipped beyond the Euphrates? Or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you're now living? But as for me and my family, we will worship the Lord!”
Bet ja tas jums nepatiks, Tam Kungam kalpot, tad izvēlaties sev šodien, kam jūs gribat kalpot, vai tiem dieviem, kam jūsu tēvi kalpojuši viņpus upes, vai tiem Amoriešu dieviem, kuru zemē jūs dzīvojat. Bet es un mans nams, mēs kalposim Tam Kungam.
16 The people responded, “We are never going to give up on the Lord and worship other gods!
Tad tie ļaudis atbildēja un sacīja: lai tas ir tālu no mums, To Kungu atstāt un kalpot citiem dieviem.
17 For the Lord our God brought us and our forefathers out of slavery in Egypt. He was the one who did great miracles before our very eyes. He looked after us on the way as we traveled through the lands of many nations.
Jo Tas Kungs ir mūsu Dievs; Tas mūs un mūsu tēvus izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes, no tā vergu nama, Tas priekš mums šās lielās zīmes darījis un mūs pasargājis uz visiem ceļiem, kur esam gājuši, un starp visiem ļaudīm, caur kuru vidu esam staigājuši.
18 The Lord drove out before us the Amorites and all the other nations who were living in the land. So we will worship the Lord, for he is our God!”
Un Tas Kungs mūsu priekšā izdzinis visus tos ļaudis un tos Amoriešus, šās zemes iedzīvotājus, tāpēc mēs kalposim Tam Kungam, jo Tas ir mūsu Dievs.
19 Joshua told the people, “Remember that the Lord is a holy and jealous God. You won't be able to worship him, and he won't forgive your rebellion and sins
Tad Jozuas sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: jūs nevarēsiet Tam Kungam kalpot, jo Tas Kungs ir svēts Dievs, Viņš ir stiprs Dievs, dusmotājs, Viņš nepiedos jūsu pārkāpumus, nedz jūsu grēkus.
20 if you give up on him and worship foreign gods. He will turn against you and destroy you despite all the good he has done for you.”
Kad jūs no Tā Kunga atstāsities un kalposiet svešiem dieviem, tad Viņš atstāsies un jums darīs ļaunu, un jums liks bojā iet, pēc tam, kad Viņš jums labu darījis.
21 “Don't say that!” the people replied. “We will worship the Lord!”
Tad tie ļaudis sacīja uz Jozua: nē, bet mēs kalposim Tam Kungam.
22 Then Joshua cautioned the people, “You have made yourselves witnesses against yourselves by saying that you have chosen to worship the Lord.” “Yes, we are witnesses,” the people replied.
Tad Jozuas sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: jūs esat liecinieki sev pašiem, ka jūs To Kungu esat izvēlējušies, Viņam kalpot. Un tie sacīja: mēs esam liecinieki.
23 “Then get rid of those foreign gods you have and promise to be loyal only to the Lord, the God of Israel,” Joshua told them.
Un nu atmetiet tos svešos dievus, kas jūsu starpā, un griežat savas sirdis uz To Kungu, Israēla Dievu.
24 The people said to Joshua, “We will worship the Lord our God and we will obey him.”
Un tie ļaudis sacīja uz Jozua: mēs kalposim Tam Kungam, mūsu Dievam, un klausīsim Viņa balsi.
25 So Joshua made a solemn agreement between the people and the Lord that day in Shechem, obligating them to follow all the Lord's laws and instructions.
Tā Jozuas tai dienā darīja derību ar tiem ļaudīm, un tiem iecēla likumus un tiesas Šehemē.
26 Joshua recorded this in the Book of the Law of God, and he set up a large stone under the oak tree near the Lord's sanctuary.
Un Jozuas rakstīja šos vārdus Dieva bauslības grāmatā un ņēma lielu akmeni un to tur uzcēla apakš ozola pie Tā Kunga svētās vietas.
27 Joshua said to the people, “Look at this stone. It stands here as a witness against us for it has heard everything the Lord has told us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny what you have promised your God.”
Un Jozuas sacīja uz visiem ļaudīm: redzi, šis akmens mums būs par liecību; jo tas ir dzirdējis visus Tā Kunga vārdus, ko Viņš ar mums runājis, - tas būs jums par liecību, ka jūs savam Dievam nemelojat.
28 Then Joshua dismissed the people, sending them to their allotted lands.
Tā Jozuas tos ļaudis atlaida, ikvienu savā īpašumā.
29 Later, after all this, Joshua, son of Nun, servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
Un notikās pēc šīm lietām, tad Jozuas, Nuna dēls, Tā Kunga kalps, nomira, simts un desmit gadus vecs būdams.
30 They buried him in Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash, the land he had been allocated.
Un tie viņu apraka viņa īpašuma robežās, Timnat-Zerā, kas ir Efraīma kalnos, no Gaāša kalna pret ziemeļiem.
31 The Israelites continued to worship the Lord throughout Joshua's life, and throughout the lifetimes of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all that the Lord had done for Israel.
Un Israēls kalpoja Tam Kungam, kamēr Jozuas dzīvoja un kamēr tie vecaji dzīvoja, kas ilgi pēc Jozuas dzīvoja un kas visus Tā Kunga darbus zināja, ko Viņš Israēlim bija darījis.
32 The bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought with them from Egypt, they buried in Shechem in the piece of ground Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred pieces of silver. This land was inherited by Joseph's sons.
Un tie apraka arīdzan Jāzepa kaulus, ko Israēla bērni no Ēģiptes zemes bija izveduši, Šehemē, tai tīruma gabalā, ko Jēkabs no Hamora, Šehema tēva, bērniem bija pircis par simts sudraba gabaliem; jo tas Jāzepa bērniem bija ticis par daļu.
33 And Eleazar, son of Aaron, died and they buried him at Gibeah, in the hill country of Ephraim, land which had been given to his son Phinehas.
Un Eleazars, Ārona dēls, nomira, un viņu apraka Ģibejā, viņa dēla Pinehasa pilsētā, kas viņam bija dota Efraīma kalnos.
