Joshua 24
1 Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and called for the elders of Israel, for their leaders, for their judges, and for their officers, and they presented themselves before God.
Un Jozuas sapulcināja visas Israēla ciltis Šehemē un sasauca Israēla vecajus un viņu virsniekus un viņu soģus un viņu priekšniekus, un tie atnāca Dieva priekšā.
2 Joshua said to all the people, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'Your ancestors long ago lived beyond the Euphrates River—Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor—and they worshiped other gods.
Tad Jozuas sacīja uz visiem tiem ļaudīm: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: viņpus upes jūsu tēvi vecos laikos ir dzīvojuši, Tārus, Ābrahāma un Nahora tēvs, un ir kalpojuši citiem dieviem.
3 But I took your father from beyond the Euphrates and led him into the land of Canaan and gave him many descendants through his son Isaac.
Tad Es ņēmu jūsu tēvu Ābrahāmu no viņas upes puses un tam liku staigāt caur visu Kanaāna zemi, un Es vairoju arī viņa dzimumu un devu viņam Īzaku.
4 Then to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave Esau the hill country of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
Un Īzakam Es devu Jēkabu un Ēsavu, un Ēsavam Es devu Seīra kalnus par daļu, bet Jēkabs un viņa bērni nogāja uz Ēģiptes zemi.
5 I sent Moses and Aaron, and I afflicted the Egyptians with plagues. After that, I brought you out.
Tad Es sūtīju Mozu un Āronu, un mocīju Ēģiptes zemi, tā kā Es viņas vidū esmu darījis, un pēc tam Es jūs izvedu.
6 I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, and you came to the sea. The Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Sea of Reeds.
Kad Es jūsu tēvus no Ēģiptes zemes biju izvedis, tad jūs nācāt pie jūras, un ēģiptieši jūsu tēviem dzinās pakaļ ar ratiem un ar jātniekiem līdz niedru jūrai.
7 When your ancestors called out to Yahweh, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians. He brought the sea to come over them and cover them. You saw what I did in Egypt. Then you lived in the wilderness for a long time.
Tad tie brēca uz To Kungu, un Viņš lika tumsību starp jums un ēģiptiešiem, un Viņš lika jūrai pār tiem nākt un tos apklāja, un jūsu acis redzējušas, ko Es Ēģiptes zemē esmu darījis. Pēc tam jūs ilgu laiku esat dzīvojuši tuksnesī.
8 I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them into your hand. You took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you.
Un Es jūs vedu Amoriešu zemē, kas viņpus Jardānes dzīvoja: tie pret jums karoja, bet Es tos nodevu jūsu rokā, un jūs iemantojāt viņu zemi, un Es tos izdeldēju jūsu priekšā.
9 Then Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, got up and attacked Israel. He sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse you.
Tad Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moabiešu ķēniņš, cēlās un karoja pret Israēli; un viņš nosūtīja un lika aicināt Bileāmu, Beora dēlu, jūs nolādēt.
10 But I did not listen to Balaam. Indeed, he blessed you. So I rescued you out of his hand.
Bet Es Bileāmu negribēju klausīt, un viņš svētīdams jūs svētīja, un Es jūs izglābu no viņa rokas.
11 You went over the Jordan and came to Jericho. The leaders of Jericho fought against you, along with the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. I gave you victory over them and put them under your control.
Un jūs cēlāties pār Jardāni un nācāt uz Jēriku; tad Jērikus iedzīvotāji pret jums karoja, Amorieši, Ferezieši un Kanaānieši un Hetieši un Ģirgozieši un Hivieši un Jebusieši, bet Es tos nodevu jūsu rokās.
12 I sent the hornet before you, which drove them and the two kings of the Amorites out before you. It did not happen by your sword or by your bow.
Un Es sūtīju jūsu priekšā dundurus, tie tos priekš jums izdzina, kā arī tos divus Amoriešu ķēniņus, ne caur tavu zobenu, ne caur tavu stopu.
13 I gave you land on which you had not worked and cities that you had not built, and now you live in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant.'
Un Es jums devu zemi, ko tu neesi apkopis, un pilsētas, ko jūs neesat uzcēluši, ka tur dzīvojat, vīna dārzus un eļļas kokus, ko jūs neesat dēstījuši, ka no tiem ēdat.
14 Now fear Yahweh and worship him with all integrity and faithfulness; get rid of the gods that your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and worship Yahweh.
Un nu bīstaties To Kungu un kalpojiet Viņam skaidri un taisni, un atmetiet tos dievus, kam jūsu tēvi viņpus upes un Ēģiptes zemē ir kalpojuši, un kalpojiet Tam Kungam.
15 If it seems wrong in your eyes for you to worship Yahweh, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live. But as for me and my house, we will worship Yahweh.”
Bet ja tas jums nepatiks, Tam Kungam kalpot, tad izvēlaties sev šodien, kam jūs gribat kalpot, vai tiem dieviem, kam jūsu tēvi kalpojuši viņpus upes, vai tiem Amoriešu dieviem, kuru zemē jūs dzīvojat. Bet es un mans nams, mēs kalposim Tam Kungam.
16 The people answered and said, “We would never forsake Yahweh to serve other gods,
Tad tie ļaudis atbildēja un sacīja: lai tas ir tālu no mums, To Kungu atstāt un kalpot citiem dieviem.
17 for it is Yahweh our God who brought us and our ancestors up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and who did those great signs in our sight, and who preserved us in all the way that we went, and among all the nations through whom we passed.
Jo Tas Kungs ir mūsu Dievs; Tas mūs un mūsu tēvus izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes, no tā vergu nama, Tas priekš mums šās lielās zīmes darījis un mūs pasargājis uz visiem ceļiem, kur esam gājuši, un starp visiem ļaudīm, caur kuru vidu esam staigājuši.
18 Then Yahweh drove out before us all the peoples, including the Amorites who lived in the land. So we too will worship Yahweh, for he is our God.”
Un Tas Kungs mūsu priekšā izdzinis visus tos ļaudis un tos Amoriešus, šās zemes iedzīvotājus, tāpēc mēs kalposim Tam Kungam, jo Tas ir mūsu Dievs.
19 But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve Yahweh, for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions and sins.
Tad Jozuas sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: jūs nevarēsiet Tam Kungam kalpot, jo Tas Kungs ir svēts Dievs, Viņš ir stiprs Dievs, dusmotājs, Viņš nepiedos jūsu pārkāpumus, nedz jūsu grēkus.
20 If you forsake Yahweh and worship foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm. He will consume you, after he has done good to you.”
Kad jūs no Tā Kunga atstāsities un kalposiet svešiem dieviem, tad Viņš atstāsies un jums darīs ļaunu, un jums liks bojā iet, pēc tam, kad Viņš jums labu darījis.
21 But the people said to Joshua, “No, we will worship Yahweh.”
Tad tie ļaudis sacīja uz Jozua: nē, bet mēs kalposim Tam Kungam.
22 Then Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves Yahweh, to worship him.” They said, “We are witnesses.”
Tad Jozuas sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: jūs esat liecinieki sev pašiem, ka jūs To Kungu esat izvēlējušies, Viņam kalpot. Un tie sacīja: mēs esam liecinieki.
23 “Now put away the foreign gods that are with you, and turn your heart to Yahweh, the God of Israel.”
Un nu atmetiet tos svešos dievus, kas jūsu starpā, un griežat savas sirdis uz To Kungu, Israēla Dievu.
24 The people said to Joshua, “We will worship Yahweh our God. We will listen to his voice.”
Un tie ļaudis sacīja uz Jozua: mēs kalposim Tam Kungam, mūsu Dievam, un klausīsim Viņa balsi.
25 Joshua made a covenant with the people that day. He put in place decrees and laws at Shechem.
Tā Jozuas tai dienā darīja derību ar tiem ļaudīm, un tiem iecēla likumus un tiesas Šehemē.
26 Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God. He took a large stone and set it up there beneath the oak tree that was beside Yahweh's sanctuary.
Un Jozuas rakstīja šos vārdus Dieva bauslības grāmatā un ņēma lielu akmeni un to tur uzcēla apakš ozola pie Tā Kunga svētās vietas.
27 Joshua said to all the people, “Look, this stone will be a testimony against us. It has heard all the words Yahweh said to us. So it will be a witness against you, should you ever deny your God.”
Un Jozuas sacīja uz visiem ļaudīm: redzi, šis akmens mums būs par liecību; jo tas ir dzirdējis visus Tā Kunga vārdus, ko Viņš ar mums runājis, - tas būs jums par liecību, ka jūs savam Dievam nemelojat.
28 So Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.
Tā Jozuas tos ļaudis atlaida, ikvienu savā īpašumā.
29 After these things Joshua son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being 110 years old.
Un notikās pēc šīm lietām, tad Jozuas, Nuna dēls, Tā Kunga kalps, nomira, simts un desmit gadus vecs būdams.
30 They buried him within the border of his own inheritance, at Timnath Serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
Un tie viņu apraka viņa īpašuma robežās, Timnat-Zerā, kas ir Efraīma kalnos, no Gaāša kalna pret ziemeļiem.
31 Israel worshiped Yahweh all of Joshua's days, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, those who had experienced everything that Yahweh had done for Israel.
Un Israēls kalpoja Tam Kungam, kamēr Jozuas dzīvoja un kamēr tie vecaji dzīvoja, kas ilgi pēc Jozuas dzīvoja un kas visus Tā Kunga darbus zināja, ko Viņš Israēlim bija darījis.
32 The bones of Joseph, which the people of Israel brought up out of Egypt—they buried them at Shechem, in the piece of land that Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. He bought it for one hundred pieces of silver, and it became an inheritance for the descendants of Joseph.
Un tie apraka arīdzan Jāzepa kaulus, ko Israēla bērni no Ēģiptes zemes bija izveduši, Šehemē, tai tīruma gabalā, ko Jēkabs no Hamora, Šehema tēva, bērniem bija pircis par simts sudraba gabaliem; jo tas Jāzepa bērniem bija ticis par daļu.
33 Eleazar son of Aaron also died. They buried him at Gibeah, the city of Phinehas his son, which had been given to him. It was in the hill country of Ephraim.
Un Eleazars, Ārona dēls, nomira, un viņu apraka Ģibejā, viņa dēla Pinehasa pilsētā, kas viņam bija dota Efraīma kalnos.
