Joshua 23
1 And it was from days many after that he had given rest Yahweh to Israel from all enemies their from round about and Joshua he was old he had come in days.
以後上主使以色列同四周敵人平安無事，這樣過弓很長的時間，若蘇厄已年老，上了年紀，
2 And he summoned Joshua all Israel elders its and leaders its and judges its and officials its and he said to them I I am old I have come in days.
便將全以色列人，他們的長老、首領、判官和官長召來，對他們說：「我已年老，上了年紀
3 And you you have seen all that he has done Yahweh God your to all the nations these from before you for Yahweh God your he [is] the [one who] has been fighting for you.
你們都親眼見了上主你們的天主，為了你們對有的民族所做的一切；因為是上你們的天主在替你們作戰。
4 See I have made fall to you the nations which remain these an inheritance for tribes your from the Jordan and all the nations which I have cut off and the sea great [the] setting of the sun.
你們看，我己用抽籤方式，將由約旦河起，直到日落之處的大海之間，所消滅和所剩下的各民族的土地，按照你們各支派，都分了你們作產業。
5 And Yahweh God your he he will drive out them from before you and he will dispossess them from to before you and you will take possession of land their just as he spoke Yahweh God your to you.
上主你們的天主入將他們由你們面前趕走，使他們離開你們，叫你們承受他們的土地，一如上主你們的天主向你們所應許的。
6 And you will be strong very to take care and to do every [thing] written in [the] book of [the] law of Moses to not to turn aside from it right [hand] and left [hand].
因此，你們要更忠實謹守奉行梅瑟法律書上所記載的一切，不可偏左偏右，
7 To not to go among the nations these which remain these with you and [the] name of gods their not you must bring to remembrance and not you must cause to swear and not you must serve them and not you must bow down to them.
不可與你們中間的異族往來，不可提起你們的神名，不可指著他們起誓，不可事奉那些神袛，也不可在你們面前跪拜。
8 That except to Yahweh God your you will cling just as you have done until the day this.
反之，你們應依照你們直到到今天所行的，依附上主你們的天主，
9 And he has dispossessed Yahweh from before you nations great and mighty and you not he has stood anyone in faces your until the day this.
因為是上主從你們中間趕走了那些強大的異族，直到今天，沒有人能抵抗你們，
10 A man one of you he puts to flight a thousand for - Yahweh God your he [is] the [one who] fights for you just as he spoke to you.
你們一人能趕走千人，是因為上主你們的天主，照衪所應許的，親自為你們作戰。
11 And you will take heed exceedingly to selves your to love Yahweh God your.
你們要盡心盡力，愛慕上主你們的天主。
12 That - except ever you will turn back and you will cling to [the] remainder of the nations these which remain these with you and you will intermarry with them and you will go among them and they among you.
如果你們背棄上主，依戀你們中間所剩餘的異族，同他們結婚，互相往來，
13 Certainly you will know that not he will increase Yahweh God your to dispossess the nations these from to before you and they will become for you a trap and a snare and a scourge in sides your and thorns in view your until perish you from on the land good this which he has given to you Yahweh God your.
你們就當知道，上主你們的天主必不從你們面前，趕走這個異族，你們必將成為你們的羅網和陷阱，打你們腰的鞭子，扎你們眼的芒刺，直到從上主你們的天主所賜給你們的這福地上，全被消滅。
14 And here! I [am] about to go this day in [the] way of all the earth and you know with all heart your and with all being your that not it has fallen a word one of all - the words good which he spoke Yahweh God your on you everything they have come to you not it has fallen of it a word one.
看我今天就要走世人必走的路，你們要一心一意地承認，上主你們的天主應許所賜給你們的話，沒有一句落空。
15 And it will be just as it has come on you every word good which he spoke Yahweh God your to you so he will bring Yahweh on you every word bad until has destroyed he you from on the land good this which he has given to you Yahweh God your.
上主你們的天主對你們所應許的一切幸福，怎樣實行在你們身上，直到將你們從上主你們天主所賜與你們的這土地上消滅。
16 When transgress you [the] covenant of Yahweh God your which he commanded you and you will go and you will serve gods other and you will bow down to them and it will burn [the] anger of Yahweh on you and you will perish quickly from on the land good which he has given to you.
如果你們違犯上主你們的天主與你們訂立的盟約，去事奉敬其他的神，上主必向你們大發忿怒，使你們迅速從你們的福地上消滅。
