Joshua 24
1 And he gathered Joshua all [the] tribes of Israel Shechem towards and he summoned [the] elders of Israel and leaders its and judges its and officials its and they presented themselves before God.
若蘇厄又聚集以色列眾支派來到舍根，也召集了以色列長老、首領，和官長，叫他們立在官長面前，
2 And he said Joshua to all the people thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel on [the] other side of the river they dwelt ancestors your from long ago Terah [the] father of Abraham and [the] father of Nahor and they served gods other.
若蘇厄對全民眾說：「上主以色列的天主這樣說：從前你們的祖先亞巴郎和納曷爾的父親特辣黑，住在大河那邊，事奉別的神明。
3 And I took ancestor your Abraham from [the] other side of the river and I led him in all [the] land of Canaan (and I increased *Q(k)*) offspring his and I gave to him Isaac.
我將你們的祖先亞巴郎從大河那邊召來，領他們走遍客納罕全地，使他的後裔繁多，賜給了他依撒格。
4 And I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau and I gave to Esau [the] mountain of Seir to take possession of it and Jacob and sons his they went down Egypt.
我又將雅各伯和厄撒烏賜給了依撒格；將色依爾山區賜給了厄撒烏作產業；雅各伯卻和他的兒子下到了埃及。
5 And I sent Moses and Aaron and I struck Egypt just as I did in midst its and after I brought out you.
以後，我派遺了梅瑟和亞郎，在埃及行奇跡，打擊了埃及，然後將你們領了出來。
6 And I brought out fathers your from Egypt and you came the sea towards and they pursued Egypt after fathers your with chariotry and with horsemen [the] sea of reed[s].
當我領你們的祖先離開埃及來到海邊時，埃及人率領車輛兵馬，追趕你們的祖先直到紅海。
7 And they cried out to Yahweh and he put darkness between you - and between the Egyptians and he brought over it the sea and it covered it and they saw eyes your [that] which I did in Egypt and you dwelt in the wilderness days many.
當他們呼求上主時，上主便在你們和埃及人之間突降濃霧，仗海水流回淹沒了他們。我在埃及所行的，你們都親眼見過。以後你們在曠野住了很久。
8 (And I brought *Q(K)*) you to [the] land of the Amorite[s] who dwelt on [the] other side of the Jordan and they fought with you and I gave them in hand your and you took possession of land their and I destroyed them from before you.
當我領你們到了住在約旦河東阿摩黎人的地域時，你們曾攻擊過你們，但我將你們交在你們手中，使你們佔領他們的地方，由你們面前消滅了他們。
9 And he arose Balak [the] son of Zippor [the] king of Moab and he fought against Israel and he sent and he summoned Balaam [the] son of Beor to curse you.
那時摩阿布王，漆頗爾的兒子巴拉克起來攻擊以色列，並派人叫貝敖爾的兒子巴郎來詛咒你們。
10 And not I was willing to listen to Balaam and he blessed continuously you and I delivered you from hand his.
但是我不想俯聽巴郎，他反而祝福了你們。這樣，我從他手中救了你們。
11 And you passed over the Jordan and you came to Jericho and they fought against you [the] citizens of Jericho the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Girgashite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and I gave them in hand your.
以後你們渡過約旦河來到耶利哥，耶利哥的居民同你們作，以後有阿摩黎人、培黎齊人、客納罕人。赫特人、基爾加士人、希威人和耶步斯人，都同你們作過戰，但我將他們都交在你們手中。
12 And I sent before you the hornet and it drove out them from before you [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] not by sword your and not by bow your.
我並派黃蜂在你們前，將阿摩黎人的兩個王子，從你們面前趕走，並未用你們的劍，也未用你們的弓。
13 And I gave to you a land - which not you had labored for it and cities which not you had built and you dwelt in them vineyards and olive trees which not you had planted you [are] eating.
這樣，我把未經你們開墾的地，賜給了你們；把未經你們建築的城，賜給了你們居住；將未經你們種植的葡萄園和橄欖樹林，賜給了你們作食物。
14 And therefore fear Yahweh and serve him in integrity and in faithfulness and remove [the] gods which they served ancestors your on [the] other side of the river and in Egypt and serve Yahweh.
所以你們應該敬畏上主，誠心敬地事奉衪，拋棄你們祖先在大河那邊和埃及所事奉的神，惟獨事奉上主。
15 And if is displeasing in view your to serve Yahweh choose for yourselves this day whom? will you serve! whether [the] gods which they served ancestors your who ([were] from [the] other side of *Q(K)*) the river and or [the] gods of the Amorite[s] whom you [are] dwelling in land their and I and household my we will serve Yahweh.
若是你們不樂意事奉上主，那麼今天就揀選你們所願事奉的，或是你們祖先在大河那邊所事奉的神，或是你們現住地的阿摩黎人的神；至於我和我的家族，我們一定要事奉上主。」
16 And it answered the people and it said far be it to us from forsaking Yahweh to serve gods other.
眾百姓回答說：「我們絕對不願背棄上主，去事奉其他的神!
17 For Yahweh God our he [is] the [one who] brought up us and fathers our from [the] land of Egypt from a house of slaves and [the one] who he did to eyes our the signs great these and he kept us in all the way which we went in it and among all the peoples which we passed in midst their.
因為上主是我們的天主，是衪領我們和我們的祖先出離了埃及地，為奴之家，在我們眼前行了絕大的神蹟，在我們所走的一切路上，在我們所經過的一切民族中，紿終保護了我們。
18 And he drove out Yahweh all the peoples and the Amorite[s] [who] dwelt of the land from before us also we we will serve Yahweh for he [is] God our.
上主更從我們面前，趕走了所有的異族，和住在這地的阿摩黎人。為此我們必要事奉上主，因為衪是我們的天主。」
19 And he said Joshua to the people not you will be able to serve Yahweh for [is] a God holy he [is] a God jealous he not he will forgive to transgression your and sins your.
若蘇厄對百姓說：「你們不能事奉上主，因為衪是神聖不可侵犯的天主，是忌邪的天主，衪決不寬赦你們的過犯和罪惡，
20 If you will forsake Yahweh and you will serve gods of foreignness and he will turn and he will do harm to you and he will make an end of you after that he has done good to you.
如果你們背棄上主，去事奉外邦的神，在衪恩待你們之後，衪必轉而向你們降禍，消滅你們。
21 And it said the people to Joshua In-deed Yahweh we will serve.
百姓答覆若蘇厄說：「決不! 我們一定要事奉上主! 」
22 And he said Joshua to the people [are] witnesses you on yourselves that you you have chosen for yourselves Yahweh to serve him and they said witnesses.
若蘇厄對百姓說：「這是你們自己對自己作證，要選擇事奉上主! 」他們答說：「我們自己作證。」
23 And therefore remove [the] gods of foreignness which [are] in midst your and turn heart your to Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
「那麼，你們應除掉你們中間的外邦神，一心歸向上主，以色列的天主。」
24 And they said the people to Joshua Yahweh God our we will serve and to voice his we will listen.
百姓答覆若蘇厄說：「我們決定事奉上主，我們的天主，必聽從衪的聲音。」
25 And he made Joshua a covenant to the people on the day that and he established for it a decree and a judgment at Shechem.
當天若蘇厄便與百姓立約，在舍根為他們立定了誡命和典章。
26 And he wrote Joshua the words these in [the] book of [the] law of God and he took a stone large and he set up it there under the oak which [was] at [the] sanctuary of Yahweh.
若蘇厄將這些話都寫在天主的法律書上；又取了一塊一石，立在上主聖所旁邊的篤耨樹下。
27 And he said Joshua to all the people here! the stone this it will become on us a witness for it it has heard all [the] words of Yahweh which he has spoken with us and it will become on you a witness lest you should deny! God your.
g寸全民眾說：「看! 這塊石頭將作我們的見證，因為這塊石頭聽見了上主對我們所說的一切話。這塊石頭也將作你們的見證，以免你們背棄你們的天主。」
28 And he sent away Joshua the people everyone to own inheritance his.
此後，若蘇厄便打發百姓各回到的地業去了。
29 And it was after the things these and he died Joshua [the] son of Nun [the] servant of Yahweh a son of one hundred and ten years.
這事以後，上主的僕人，農的兒子若蘇厄便去了世，享年一百一十歲。
30 And people buried him in [the] territory of inheritance his at Timnath Serah which [is] in [the] hill country of Ephraim from [the] north of [the] mountain of Gaash.
人將埋葬在阿士山北，厄弗辣因山區的提默納特色辣黑自己的產業內。
31 And it served Israel Yahweh all [the] days of Joshua and all - [the] days of the old [men] who they made long days after Joshua and who they knew all [the] work of Yahweh which he had done for Israel.
若蘇厄在世時以及在他死後，那些知道上主為以色列所行的一切事蹟的長老們在世時，以色列人常事奉了上主。
32 And [the] bones of Joseph which they had brought up [the] people of Israel - from Egypt they buried at Shechem in [the] portion of the field which he had bought Jacob from with [the] sons of Hamor [the] father of Shechem for a hundred piece[s] of money and they became of [the] descendants of Joseph an inheritance.
以色列子民也將從埃及抬回來的若瑟遺骸，埋葬在舍根的田裏。那塊地是雅各伯用一百銀錢，由舍根的父親，哈摩爾的子孫手中買來的；這塊地便成了若瑟子孫的產業。
33 And Eleazar [the] son of Aaron he died and people buried him at Gibeah of Phinehas son his which it had been given to him in [the] hill country of Ephraim.
亞郎的兒子厄肋阿匝爾也死了。人將他埋葬在基貝亞，即他的兒子丕乃哈斯在厄弗辣因山地分得的城內。
