Joshua 1
1 Nowe after the death of Moses the seruant of the Lord, the Lord spake vnto Ioshua the sonne of Nun, Moses minister, saying,
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 seruant is dead: nowe therefore arise, go ouer this Iorden, thou, and all this people, vnto the lande which I giue them, that is, to ye 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 Euery place that the sole of your foote shall treade vpon, haue I giuen you, as I said vnto 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 wildernesse and this Lebanon euen vnto the great riuer, the riuer Perath: all the land of the Hittites, euen vnto the great Sea towarde the going downe of the sunne, shalbe your coast.
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 There shall not a man be able to withstande thee all the dayes of thy life: as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee: I will not leaue 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 Be strong and of a good courage: for vnto this people shalt thou deuide the lande for an inheritance, which I sware vnto their fathers to giue 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 Onely be thou strong, and of a most valiant courage, that thou mayest obserue and doe according to all the Lawe which Moses my seruant hath commanded thee: thou shalt not turne away from it to the right hande, nor to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoeuer thou goest.
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 this booke of the Law depart out of thy mouth, but meditate therin day and night, that thou mayest obserue and doe according to all that is written therein: for then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and then shalt thou haue good successe.
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 Haue not I commanded thee, saying, Be strong and of a good courage, feare not, nor be discouraged? for I the Lord thy God will be with thee, whithersoeuer thou goest.
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 Then Ioshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
以後若蘇厄向百姓的官長下令說：
11 Passe through the hoste, and commande the people, saying, Prepare you vitailes: for after three dayes ye shall passe ouer this Iorden, to goe in to possesse the lande, which the Lord your God giueth you to possesse it.
「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 vnto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to halfe the tribe of Manasseh spake Ioshua, saying,
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 worde, which Moses the seruant of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your God hath giuen you rest, and hath giuen you 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 wiues, your children, and your cattell shall remaine in the land which Moses gaue you on this side Iorden: but ye shall goe ouer before your brethren armed, all that be men of warre, and shall helpe 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 Vntill the Lord haue giuen your brethren rest, as well as to you, and vntill they also shall possesse the land, which the Lord your God giueth them: then shall ye returne vnto the lande of your possession and shall possesse it, which land Moses the Lordes seruant gaue you on this side Iorden toward the sunne rising.
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 Then they answered Ioshua, saying, Al that thou hast commanded vs, we will doe, and whithersoeuer thou sendest vs, we will goe.
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: onely the Lord thy God be 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 Whosoeuer shall rebell against thy commandement, and will not obey thy wordes in all that thou commaundest him, let him bee put to death: onely be strong and of good courage.
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。」
