Joshua 24
1 [Many years later], Joshua summoned representatives of all the tribes of Israel. He gathered together the elders, the leaders, the judges, and the other officials at Shechem [city]. He told them to listen to what God wanted to tell them.
И собра Иисус вся племена Израилева в Сихем, и созва старейшины Израилевы и князи их, и судии их и книгочия их, и сташа пред Господем Богом.
2 Joshua said to all of them, “This is what Yahweh, the God we Israeli people worship, is saying: ‘Long ago, your ancestors, including Abraham’s father Terah and Abraham’s younger brother Nahor, lived on the east side of the Euphrates River.
И рече Иисус ко всем людем, глаголя: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: об ону страну реки жиша отцы ваши исперва, Фара отец Авраамов и отец Нахоров, и служиша богом иным:
3 But I took your ancestor Abraham from that land east of the Euphrates River, and I led him as he lived in various places in this land of Canaan, and I enabled him to have many descendants. First, I enabled him to have a son, Isaac.
и поях отца вашего Авраама от об ону страну реки, и водих его во всей земли Ханаанстей: и умножих семя его, и дах ему Исаака:
4 When Isaac grew up, I enabled him to have twin sons, Jacob and Esau. I enabled Esau to live in the hilly area in Seir region, but many years later Jacob and his sons and their families went down to live in Egypt.
Исааку же дах Иакова и Исава и дах Исаву гору Сиир наследие ему: Иаков же и сынове его снидоша во Египет, и быша тамо в язык велик и крепок и мног, и озлобиша их Египтяне:
5 “[Many years later], I sent Moses and his older brother Aaron to help your people, and I caused [the people of] Egypt to suffer very much because of what I did there. Then I enabled your ancestors to leave Egypt.
и послах Моисеа и Аарона, и поразих Египта во знамениих, яже сотворих в них, и по сем изведох вас,
6 When I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, they came to the Red Sea. The Egyptian army pursued them, some riding in chariots and others on horses, and they also arrived at the Red Sea.
и изведох отцы вашя из Египта, и внидосте в море Чермное: и погнаша Египтяне вслед отец ваших на колесницах и на конех в море Чермное:
7 Then [your ancestors] pleaded with me to help them. So he caused (darkness/a very dark cloud) to come between your ancestors and the Egyptian army, so that the Egyptian army could not see your ancestors. I separated the water in the Red Sea so that your ancestors could cross it, but when the Egyptian army tried to cross in the same way to pursue them, I caused the water to come back and cover them, and the Egyptian soldiers all drowned, as your ancestors watched and were amazed [IDM]. But after that, you lived in the desert for many years.
и возопихом ко Господу, и даде облак и мглу между нами и между Египтяны, и наведе на них море, и покры их: и видеша очеса ваша, елика сотвори Господь в земли Египетстей: и бысте в пустыни дни многи:
8 “Then I brought your [ancestors] to the area where the groups who were descendants of Amor lived, east of the Jordan River. They fought against you, but I enabled you to defeat them [IDM]. I [enabled you to] destroy them so that you could live in their land [IDM].
и приведе вас в землю Аморреов живущих об ону страну Иордана, и ополчишася на вы: и предаде я Господь в руки вашя, и наследисте землю их, и потребисте их от лица вашего:
9 Then, Zippor’s son Balak, the King of Moab, (decided that his army would fight against/opposed) the Israelis. He summoned Beor’s son Balaam and asked him to curse you.
и воста Валак сын Сепфоров, царь Моавль, и ополчися противу Израиля, и послав призва Валаама сына Веорова кляти вас:
10 But I would not do what Balaam asked, so he (blessed/said that I would do great things for) you four times, and I did not enable the army of Moab to defeat you [IDM].
и не восхоте Господь Бог погубити тя, но благословением благослови вас и избави вас от рук их:
11 “Then you all crossed the Jordan River and came to Jericho. The people of Jericho prepared to fight against you, [and the armies of] the descendants of Amor, Periz, Canaan, Heth, Girgash, Hiv, and Jebus [all prepared to do the same thing] but I enabled you to defeat [IDM] them all.
и преидосте Иордан и приидосте во Иерихон, и бишася с вами живущии во Иерихоне, Аморрей и Ферезей, и Хананей и Хеттей, и Гергесей и Евей и Иевусей, и предаде их Господь в руки вашя:
12 I am the one who caused them to panic as you advanced and enabled you to defeat them, as I had enabled you to do earlier to the two kings of the groups who were descendants of Amor. You did not defeat them by using your own bows and arrows and swords; [it was I who defeated them].
и посла пред вами шершни, и изгна от лица вашего два царя Аморрейска, не оружием твоим, ниже луком твоим,
13 So I gave you a land that you had not tilled/planted, and I gave you cities that you did not build. [Now] you live in those [cities] and you eat the grapes from the grapevines that you did not plant, and you eat olives from trees that you did not plant.’”
и даде вам землю, о нейже не трудистеся на ней, и грады, ихже не создасте, и пожисте в них, и винограды и масличие, ихже не насадисте вы, ядосте:
14 [Then Joshua said to the people], “[Because of all that] Yahweh [has done for you], revere him, and serve/worship him very faithfully. Throw away the idols that your ancestors worshiped on the east/other side of the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve only Yahweh.
и ныне убойтеся Господа, и послужите Ему в правде и правоте: и отвержите боги чуждыя, имже служиша отцы ваши об ону страну реки и во Египте, и служите Господеви:
15 But if you do not want to serve/worship Yahweh, you should decide today what [gods] you will serve/worship. You should decide whether you will serve/worship the gods that your ancestors who lived on the other/east side of the Euphrates River served, or whether you will serve/worship the gods that the descendants of Amor, who previously lived in the land where you are now living, [serve/worship]. But as for me and my family [MTY], we will serve/worship Yahweh!”
аще же не угодно вам служити Господеви, изберите сами себе днесь, кому послужите, или богом отец ваших, иже быша об ону страну реки, или богом Аморрейским, в нихже вы живете на земли их: аз же и дом мой служити будем Господеви, яко свят есть.
16 The Israeli people answered, “We will never quit [serving/worshiping] Yahweh! We would never [think of] [IDM] serving/worshiping other gods!
И отвещавше людие, реша: не буди нам оставити Господа, еже служити богом иным:
17 It was our God, Yahweh, who brought our parents and grandparents up out of Egypt. [He rescued them] from that land where they were slaves. As he rescued them, they saw him perform great miracles. He protected them all the time when they were traveling. He protected them from all the people-groups through whose territory they traveled.
Господь бо Бог наш Той Бог есть, Той изведе нас и отцы нашы от земли Египетския, от дому работы, иже сотвори пред очима нашима знамения велия, и сохрани нас во всем пути, по немуже идохом, и во всех языцех, ихже сквозе проидохом:
18 As our forefathers advanced, Yahweh expelled the descendants of Amor and the other people-groups who lived in this land. Yahweh is our God, so [we are saying that] we also will serve/worship him.”
и изгна Господь вся языки и Аморреа живущаго на земли от лица нашего: но и мы послужим Господеви, Сей бо есть Бог наш.
19 Joshua replied to the people, “[I think that] you are not able to serve/worship Yahweh, because he is a holy God. He will not forgive your sinning and rebelling [against him]. He demands that you serve/worship only him [IDM].
И рече Иисус к людем: не возможете служити Господеви Богу, яко Бог свят есть и ревнитель сей: не оставит грех ваших и беззаконий ваших:
20 He has been good to you [in the past], but if you turn away from him and serve/worship foreign/other gods, he will turn [against you] and he will cause you to experience disasters. He will punish [IDM] you severely!”
егда оставите Господа и послужите богом чуждим, и пришед озлобит вас и потребит вас, вместо еже благо сотвори вам.
21 But the people replied to Joshua, “No, [we will not turn away from worshiping/serving Yahweh] We will serve/worship Yahweh!”
И рекоша людие ко Иисусу: ни, но Господеви послужим.
22 Then Joshua said, “You yourselves are saying that you have decided to serve/worship Yahweh.” They replied, “Yes, we are saying that.”
И рече Иисус к людем: свидетели вы сами на ся, яко вы избрасте служити Господеви Самому. И рекоша: свидетели мы.
23 Then Joshua said, “Since [you have decided] that, you must throw away all the other gods/idols that you have among you. You must also promise that you will wholeheartedly give yourselves to Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [serve/worship].”
И ныне отвержите боги чуждыя, иже суть в вас, и исправите сердца ваша ко Господу Богу Израилеву.
24 The people replied, “We will serve/worship Yahweh, our God, and obey him.”
И рекоша людие ко Иисусу: Господеви Богу нашему послужим, и гласа Его послушаем.
25 That day, Joshua established an agreement between the people and Yahweh. He wrote for them all the laws that they were required to obey.
И завеща Иисус завет к людем в день он, и даде им закон и суд в Сихеме, пред скиниею Господа Бога Израилева.
26 He wrote all those laws on a scroll. He called it ‘The laws of God’. Then he [told some men to] set up a large stone there at Shechem, under the [large] oak tree near the place where [they worshiped] Yahweh.
И вписа Иисус словеса сия в книгу закона Божия: и взя камень велий, и постави его под теревинфом, иже есть пред Господем.
27 He said to all the people, “Look! [It is as though] this stone has heard everything that Yahweh said to you [and that you promised Yahweh]. It will serve as a witness against you if you rebel against your God!”
И рече Иисус к людем: се, камень сей будет вам во свидение: яко сей слыша вся глаголголанная от Господа, елика глагола к вам днесь, и сей будет вам во свидение в последния дни, и егда солжете Господеви Богу вашему.
28 Then Joshua sent the people away, and all of them returned to their own areas/homes.
И отпусти Иисус люди, коегождо в места своя.
29 Some time after that, Nun’s son Joshua, the faithful servant of Yahweh, died. He was 110 years old when he died.
И послужи Израиль Господеви во вся дни Иисусовы и во вся дни старцев, иже препроводиша время со Иисусом и иже видеша вся дела Господня, елика сотвори Израилю.
30 The Israeli people buried his body on his own property in Timnath-Serah [town] town. It is north of Gaash Mountain in the hilly area of the tribe who were descendants of Ephraim.
И бысть по сих, и умре Иисус сын Навин раб Господень, (пожив) сто и десять лет.
31 The Israeli people served/worshiped Yahweh as long as Joshua was alive. After Joshua died, they continued serving/worshiping Yahweh while the elders who had experienced everything that Yahweh had done for the Israeli people were still alive.
И погребоша его в пределех жребия его во Фамнасахаре, в горе Ефремли, от севера горы Гаасовы, и положиша тамо с ним во гробе, в немже погребоша его, ножы каменныя, имиже обреза сыны Израилевы в Галгалех (Иисус), егда изведе их из Египта, якоже повеле Господь: и тамо суть даже до дне сего.
32 Joseph’s bones, which the Israeli people had brought with them from Egypt, were also buried at Shechem. The people buried them in the piece of land that Jacob had bought long ago for 100 pieces of silver from Hamor, the father of Shechem. That piece of land was in the area that was given to the people who were descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, Joseph’s sons.
И кости Иосифовы изнесоша сынове Израилевы из Египта и закопаша их в Сихемех, в части села, еже притяжа Иаков от Аморрей живущих в Сихемех стом агниц, и даде ю Иосифу в часть.
33 Eleazar, the Supreme Priest, the son of Aaron, also died. They buried his body at Gibeah, in the area that had been given to Eleazar’s son Phinehas, in the hilly area that belonged to the people who were descendants of Ephraim.
И бысть по сих, и Елеазар сын Ааронов архиерей скончася: и погребен бысть в Гаваафе Финееса сына своего, егоже даде ему в горе Ефремове.
