Joshua 1
1 And it comes to pass after the death of Moses, servant of YHWH, that YHWH speaks to Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, 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 “My servant Moses is dead, and now, rise, pass over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, 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 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, as I have spoken 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 this wilderness and Lebanon, and to the great river, the Euphrates River, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea—the going in of the sun—is 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 stations himself before you all [the] days of your life; as I have been with Moses, I am with you, I do not fail you, nor 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 strong and courageous, for you cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give 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 Only, be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the Law which Moses My servant commanded you; you do not turn aside from it right or left, so that you act wisely in every [place] to where you go;
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 scroll of this Law does not depart out of your mouth, and you have meditated in it by day and by night, so that you observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then you cause your way to prosper, and then you act wisely.
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 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous; do not be terrified nor frightened, for your God YHWH [is] with you in every [place] to where you 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 commands the authorities of the people, saying,
以後若蘇厄向百姓的官長下令說：
11 “Pass over into the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare provision for yourselves, for within three days you are passing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess 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 to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh, Joshua has spoken, 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 word which Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded you, saying, Your God YHWH is giving rest to you, and He has given this land to you;
「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, your infants, and your substance, abide in the land which Moses has given to you beyond the Jordan, and you pass over by fifties, before your brothers, all the mighty men of valor, and have helped 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 YHWH gives rest to your brothers as to yourselves, and they have possessed, even they, the land which your God YHWH is giving to them; then you have turned back to the land of your possession, and have possessed it, which Moses, servant of YHWH, has given to you beyond the Jordan, [at] the sun-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 And they answer Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we do; and to every [place] to where you send us, we 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 according to all that we listened to [from] Moses, so we listen to you; surely your God YHWH is with you as He has been 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 Any man who provokes your mouth, and does not hear your words, in all that you command him, is put to death; only, be strong and courageous.”
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。」
