Yosua 1
1 Sesudah kematian Musa, hamba TUHAN itu, TUHAN berbicara kepada wakil Musa, yaitu Yosua anak Nun.
And it comes to pass after the death of Moses, servant of YHWH, that YHWH speaks to Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, saying,
2 TUHAN berkata, "Hamba-Ku Musa sudah mati. Maka sekarang baiklah engkau dan seluruh umat Israel bersiap-siap untuk menyeberangi Sungai Yordan, dan memasuki negeri yang Kuberikan kepada mereka.
“My servant Moses is dead, and now, rise, pass over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.
3 Aku sudah mengatakan kepada Musa bahwa setiap wilayah yang kamu jejaki telah Kuberikan kepadamu, Yosua, dan kepada seluruh umat-Ku.
Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, as I have spoken to Moses.
4 Wilayahmu akan terbentang dari padang gurun di selatan sampai ke Pegunungan Libanon di utara dan dari Sungai Efrat yang besar itu di timur terus meliputi negeri bangsa Het sampai ke Laut Tengah di barat.
From this wilderness and Lebanon, and to the great river, the Euphrates River, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea—the going in of the sun—is your border.
5 Seorang pun tak akan sanggup mengalahkan engkau, Yosua, seumur hidupmu. Sebab Aku akan selalu mendampingimu seperti dahulu Aku mendampingi Musa. Aku tidak akan meninggalkanmu.
No man stations himself before you all [the] days of your life; as I have been with Moses, I am with you, I do not fail you, nor forsake you;
6 Hendaklah engkau yakin dan berani, sebab engkau akan memimpin bangsa ini sewaktu mereka menduduki negeri yang Kujanjikan kepada nenek moyang mereka.
be strong and courageous, for you cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.
7 Hanya, hendaklah engkau sungguh-sungguh yakin dan berani. Engkau harus menjaga agar engkau mentaati seluruh hukum yang diberikan Musa hamba-Ku itu kepadamu, jangan kaulalaikan sedikit pun, maka kau akan berhasil.
Only, be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the Law which Moses My servant commanded you; you do not turn aside from it right or left, so that you act wisely in every [place] to where you go;
8 Buku hukum itu harus selalu kaubacakan kepada umat-Ku. Pelajarilah buku itu siang dan malam, supaya selalu kau melaksanakan semua yang tertulis di dalamnya. Kalau kau melakukan semuanya itu, hidupmu akan makmur dan berhasil.
the scroll of this Law does not depart out of your mouth, and you have meditated in it by day and by night, so that you observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then you cause your way to prosper, and then you act wisely.
9 Ingat, Aku sudah memerintahkan kepadamu supaya engkau sungguh-sungguh yakin dan berani! Janganlah engkau takut atau kurang bersemangat, sebab Aku TUHAN Allahmu mendampingi engkau ke mana saja engkau pergi."
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous; do not be terrified nor frightened, for your God YHWH [is] with you in every [place] to where you go.”
10 Maka Yosua memerintahkan pemimpin-pemimpin umat Israel
And Joshua commands the authorities of the people, saying,
11 supaya berkeliling ke seluruh perkemahan umat Israel dan memberi perintah ini, "Siapkan bekal, karena tiga hari lagi kalian harus menyeberangi Sungai Yordan untuk menduduki negeri yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu."
“Pass over into the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare provision for yourselves, for within three days you are passing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.”
12 Kepada suku Ruben, suku Gad, dan separuh suku Manasye, Yosua berkata,
And to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh, Joshua has spoken, saying,
13 "Ingat! Musa hamba TUHAN itu sudah mengatakan kepadamu bahwa tanah di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan ini diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu untuk menjadi negerimu.
“Remember the word which Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded you, saying, Your God YHWH is giving rest to you, and He has given this land to you;
14 Semua anak istrimu dan ternakmu boleh tinggal di sini, tetapi para pejuangmu harus siap bertempur dan mendahului orang-orang Israel lainnya menyeberangi Sungai Yordan.
your wives, your infants, and your substance, abide in the land which Moses has given to you beyond the Jordan, and you pass over by fifties, before your brothers, all the mighty men of valor, and have helped them,
15 Kalian harus menolong mereka sampai mereka menduduki tanah di sebelah barat Sungai Yordan ini yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepada mereka. Sesudah TUHAN memberikan keamanan kepada seluruh bangsa Israel, barulah kalian boleh kembali ke tanahmu sendiri di sebelah timur Yordan ini, yang diberikan Musa hamba TUHAN itu kepadamu."
until YHWH gives rest to your brothers as to yourselves, and they have possessed, even they, the land which your God YHWH is giving to them; then you have turned back to the land of your possession, and have possessed it, which Moses, servant of YHWH, has given to you beyond the Jordan, [at] the sun-rising.”
16 Maka suku Ruben, Gad, dan separuh suku Manasye itu menjawab, "Apa saja yang kauperintahkan kepada kami, kami akan lakukan, dan ke mana pun kausuruh kami pergi, kami akan pergi.
And they answer Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we do; and to every [place] to where you send us, we go;
17 Kami akan taat kepadamu, sama seperti kami juga selalu taat kepada Musa. Semoga TUHAN Allahmu mendampingimu seperti Ia mendampingi Musa!
according to all that we listened to [from] Moses, so we listen to you; surely your God YHWH is with you as He has been with Moses.
18 Setiap orang yang tidak mau tunduk kepada kekuasaanmu, atau tidak menurut perintahmu, akan dihukum mati. Hendaklah engkau yakin dan berani!"
Any man who provokes your mouth, and does not hear your words, in all that you command him, is put to death; only, be strong and courageous.”
