Joshua 23
1 And it came to pass, a long time after that the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies on all sides, that Joshua became old [and] advanced in age.
Evoluto autem multo tempore, postquam pacem dederat Dominus Israeli, subiectis in gyro nationibus universis, et Iosue iam longaevo, et persenilis aetatis:
2 And Joshua called for all Israel, [and] for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, I am old [and] advanced in age:
vocavit Iosue omnem Israelem, maioresque natu, et principes ac duces, et magistros, dixitque ad eos: Ego senui, et progressioris aetatis sum:
3 And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done to all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God [is] he that hath fought for you.
vosque cernitis omnia, quae fecerit Dominus Deus vester cunctis per circuitum nationibus, quo modo pro vobis ipse pugnaverit:
4 Behold, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea westward.
et nunc quia vobis sorte divisit omnem Terram, ab Orientali parte Iordanis usque ad mare magnum, multaeque adhuc supersunt nationes:
5 And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised to you.
Dominus Deus vester disperdet eas et auferet a facie vestra, et possidebitis Terram, sicut vobis pollicitus est.
6 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left;
tantum confortamini, et estote soliciti, ut custodiatis cuncta quae scripta sunt in volumine legis Moysi: et non declinetis ab eis neque ad dexteram neque ad sinistram:
7 That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow yourselves to them:
ne postquam intraveritis ad Gentes, quae inter vos futurae sunt, iuretis in nomine deorum earum, et serviatis eis, et adoretis illos:
8 But cleave to the LORD your God, as ye have done to this day.
sed adhaereatis Domino Deo vestro: quod fecistis usque in diem hanc.
9 For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but [as for] you, no man hath been able to stand before you to this day.
Et tunc auferet Dominus Deus in conspectu vestro gentes magnas et robustissimas, et nullus vobis resistere poterit.
10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he [it is] that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
Unus e vobis persequetur hostium mille viros: quia Dominus Deus vester pro vobis ipse pugnabit, sicut pollicitus est.
11 Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.
Hoc tantum diligentissime praecavete, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum.
12 Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave to the remnant of these nations, [even] these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and associate with them, and they with you:
Quod si volueritis gentium harum, quae inter vos habitant, erroribus adhaerere, et cum eis miscere connubia, atque amicitias copulare:
13 Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out [any of] these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
iam nunc scitote quod Dominus Deus vester non eas deleat ante faciem vestram, sed sint vobis in foveam ac laqueum, et offendiculum ex latere vestro, et sudes in oculis vestris, donec vos auferat atque disperdat de Terra hac optima, quam tradidit vobis.
14 And behold, this day I [am] going the way of all the earth; and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you: all are come to pass to you, [and] not one thing hath failed of it.
En ego hodie ingredior viam universae terrae, et toto animo cognoscetis quod de omnibus verbis, quae se Dominus praestiturum vobis esse pollicitus est, unum non praeterierit incassum.
15 Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he hath destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
Sicut ergo implevit opere quod promisit, et prospera cuncta venerunt: sic adducet super vos quidquid malorum comminatus est, donec vos auferat atque disperdat de Terra hac optima, quam tradidit vobis,
16 When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given to you.
eo quod praeterieritis pactum Domini Dei vestri, quod pepigit vobiscum, et servieritis diis alienis, ad adoraveritis eos: cito atque velociter consurget in vos furor Domini, et auferemini ab hac Terra optima, quam tradidit vobis.
