Joshua 23
1 After many days, when the LORD had given rest to Israel from their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,
Un pēc ilga laika, kad Tas Kungs Israēlim mieru bija devis no visiem viņu ienaidniekiem visapkārt, un kad Jozuas bija vecs palicis un stipri gados,
2 Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said to them, “I am old and well advanced in years.
Tad Jozuas sasauca visus Israēla vecajus un viņu virsniekus un viņu soģus un viņu priekšniekus un uz tiem sacīja: es esmu vecs palicis un stipri gados, -
3 You have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is the LORD your God who has fought for you.
Un jūs visu esat redzējuši, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, darījis visām šīm tautām jūsu priekšā, jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, tas priekš jums ir karojis.
4 Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea towards the going down of the sun.
Redziet, šās atlikušās tautas es caur mesliem jums esmu devis par daļu jūsu ciltīm, no Jardānes (sākot), un visas tautas, ko es esmu izdeldējis, un līdz tai lielai jūrai pret saules noiešanu.
5 The LORD your God will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight. You shall possess their land, as the LORD your God spoke to you.
Un Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, pats tos izdzīs jūsu priekšā un tos no jums aizdzīs, un jūs iemantosiet viņu zemi, tā kā Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, uz jums runājis.
6 “Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn away from it to the right hand or to the left;
Tad nu esat ļoti stipri, turēt un darīt visu, kas rakstīts Mozus bauslības grāmatā, ka jūs no tās neatkāpjaties ne uz labo, ne uz kreiso pusi.
7 that you not come amongst these nations, these that remain amongst you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves to them;
Ka jūs nenoejat pie šīm tautām, kas pie jums atlikušas, un nepieminiet viņu dievu vārdu, un nezvērējiet pie viņiem un nekalpojiet viņiem un nemetaties zemē priekš viņiem,
8 but hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.
Bet pieķeraties Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, kā jūs esat darījuši līdz šai dienai.
9 “For the LORD has driven great and strong nations out from before you. But as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.
Tā Tas Kungs jūsu priekšā ir izdzinis lielas un varenas tautas, un neviens priekš jums nav pastāvējis līdz šai dienai.
10 One man of you shall chase a thousand; for it is the LORD your God who fights for you, as he spoke to you.
Viens vīrs no jums dzen tūkstošus, jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, Tas priekš jums karo, tā kā Viņš jums runājis.
11 Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.
Tāpēc sargājat savas dvēseles ļoti, ka jūs mīļojat To Kungu, savu Dievu.
12 “But if you do at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain amongst you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you;
Jo kad jūs nogriezīsities un pieķersities šīm tautām, kas pie jums atlikušas un apsvainosities(saradosities) ar viņām un iesiet pie viņām un tās pie jums,
13 know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
Tad ziniet tiešām, ka Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, joprojām visas šās tautas jūsu priekšā neizdzīs, bet tās jums tiks par slazda valgu un par tīklu un par pātagu jūsu sānos un par ērkšķiem jūsu acīs, tiekams jūs iesiet bojā no šīs labās zemes, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, jums devis.
14 “Behold, today I am going the way of all the earth. You know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have happened to you. Not one thing has failed of it.
Un redzi, es aizeju šodien visas pasaules ceļu; tad nu atzīstat no visas sirds un no visas dvēseles, ka neviena vārda netrūkst no visiem labiem vārdiem, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, uz jums runājis; visi jums ir nākuši, no tiem netrūkst neviena vārda.
15 It shall happen that as all the good things have come on you of which the LORD your God spoke to you, so the LORD will bring on you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you,
Un kā viss tas labums pār jums nācis, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, uz jums runājis: tā Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, uz jums liks nākt visam tam ļaunumam, ko Viņš runājis, tiekams Viņš jūs būs izdeldējis no šīs labās zemes virsas, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, jums devis,
16 when you disobey the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them. Then the LORD’s anger will be kindled against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you.”
Kad jūs Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, derību pārkāpjat, ko Viņš jums ir devis, un ejat un kalpojat citiem dieviem un metaties zemē priekš viņiem, tad Tā Kunga bardzība pret jums iedegsies un jūs piepeši izdeldēs no tās labās zemes virsas, ko Viņš jums devis.
