여호수아 24
1 여호수아가 이스라엘 모든 지파를 세겜에 모으고 이스라엘 장로들과 그 두령들과 재판장들과 유사들을 부르매 그들이 하나님 앞에 보인지라
[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.
2 여호수아가 모든 백성에게 이르되 `이스라엘 하나님 여호와의 말씀에 옛적에 너희 조상들 곧 아브라함의 아비, 나홀의 아비 데라가 강 저편에 거하여 다른 신들을 섬겼으나
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.
3 내가 너희 조상 아브라함을 강 저편에서 이끌어내어 가나안으로 인도하여 온 땅을 두루 행하게 하고 그 씨를 번성케 하려고 그에게 이삭을 주었고
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.
4 이삭에게는 야곱과 에서를 주었으며 에서에게는 세일산을 소유로 주었으나 야곱과 그 자손들은 애굽으로 내려갔으므로
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.
5 내가 모세와 아론을 보내었고 또 애굽에 재앙을 내렸나니 곧 내가 그 가운데 행한 것과 같고 그 후에 너희를 인도하여 내었었노라
“[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.
6 내가 너희 열조를 애굽에서 인도하여 내어 바다에 이르게 한즉 애굽 사람이 병거와 마병을 거느리고 너희 열조를 홍해까지 따르므로
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.
7 너희 열조가 나 여호와께 부르짖기로 내가 너희와 애굽 사람 사이에 흑암을 두고 바다를 이끌어 그들을 덮었었나니 내가 애굽에서 행한 일을 너희가 목도하였으며 또 너희가 여러 날을 광야에 거하였었느니라
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.
8 내가 또 너희를 인도하여 요단 저편에 거하는 아모리 사람의 땅으로 들어가게 하매 그들이 너희와 싸우기로 내가 그들을 너희 손에 붙이매 너희가 그 땅을 점령하였고 나는 그들을 너희 앞에서 멸절시켰으며
“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].
9 때에 모압 왕 십볼의 아들 발락이 일어나 이스라엘을 대적하여 사람을 보내어 브올의 아들 발람을 불러다가 너희를 저주케 하려 하였으나
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.
10 내가 발람을 듣기를 원치 아니한 고로 그가 오히려 너희에게 축복하였고 나는 너희를 그 손에서 건져 내었으며
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].
11 너희가 요단을 건너 여리고에 이른즉 여리고 사람과, 아모리 사람과, 브리스 사람과, 가나안 사람과, 헷 사람과, 기르가스 사람과, 히위 사람과, 여부스 사람들이 너희와 싸우기로 내가 그들을 너희의 손에 붙였으며
“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.
12 내가 왕벌을 너희 앞에 보내어 그 아모리 사람의 두 왕을 너희 앞에서 쫓아내게 하였나니 너희 칼로나 너희 활로나 이같이 한 것이 아니며
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].
13 내가 또 너희의 수고하지 아니한 땅과 너희가 건축지 아니한 성읍을 너희에게 주었더니 너희가 그 가운데 거하며 너희가 또 자기의 심지 아니한 포도원과 감람원의 과실을 먹는다 하셨느니라
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.’”
14 그러므로 이제는 여호와를 경외하며 성실과 진정으로 그를 섬길 것이라 너희의 열조가 강 저편과 애굽에서 섬기던 신들을 제하여 버리고 여호와만 섬기라!
[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.
15 만일 여호와를 섬기는 것이 너희에게 좋지 않게 보이거든 너희 열조가 강 저편에서 섬기던 신이든지 혹 너희의 거하는 땅 아모리 사람의 신이든지 너희 섬길 자를 오늘날 택하라! 오직 나와 내 집은 여호와를 섬기겠노라!'
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!”
16 백성이 대답하여 가로되 `여호와를 버리고 다른 신들 섬기는 일을 우리가 결단코 하지 아니하오리니
The Israeli people answered, “We will never quit [serving/worshiping] Yahweh! We would never [think of] [IDM] serving/worshiping other gods!
17 이는 우리 하나님 여호와 그가 우리와 우리 열조를 인도하여 애굽 땅 종 되었던 집에서 나오게 하시고 우리 목전에서 그 큰 이적들을 행하시고 우리가 행한 모든 길에서, 우리의 지난 모든 백성 중에서 우리를 보호하셨음이며
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.
18 여호와께서 또 모든 백성 곧 이 땅에 거하던 아모리 사람을 우리 앞에서 쫓아내셨음이라 그러므로 우리도 여호와를 섬기리니 그는 우리 하나님이심이니이다!'
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.”
19 여호수아가 백성에게 이르되 `너희가 여호와를 능히 섬기지 못할 것은 그는 거룩하신 하나님이시요! 질투하는 하나님이시니 너희 허물과 죄를 사하지 아니하실 것임이라
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].
20 만일 너희가 여호와를 버리고 이방 신들을 섬기면 너희에게 복을 내리신 후에라도 돌이켜 너희에게 화를 내리시고 너희를 멸하시리라'
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!”
21 백성이 여호수아에게 말하되 `아니니이다! 우리가 정녕 여호와를 섬기겠나이다!'
But the people replied to Joshua, “No, [we will not turn away from worshiping/serving Yahweh] We will serve/worship Yahweh!”
22 여호수아가 백성에게 이르되 `너희가 여호와를 택하고 그를 섬기리라 하였으니 스스로 증인이 되었느니라' 그들이 가로되 `우리가 증인이 되었나이다'
Then Joshua said, “You yourselves are saying that you have decided to serve/worship Yahweh.” They replied, “Yes, we are saying that.”
23 여호수아가 가로되 `그러면 이제 너희 중에 있는 이방 신들을 제하여 버리고 너희 마음을 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께로 향하라!'
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].”
24 백성이 여호수아에게 말하되 `우리 하나님 여호와를 우리가 섬기고 그 목소리를 우리가 청종하리이다!' 한지라
The people replied, “We will serve/worship Yahweh, our God, and obey him.”
25 그 날에 여호수아가 세겜에서 백성으로 더불어 언약을 세우고 그들을 위하여 율례와 법도를 베풀었더라
That day, Joshua established an agreement between the people and Yahweh. He wrote for them all the laws that they were required to obey.
26 여호수아가 이 모든 말씀을 하나님의 율법책에 기록하고 큰 돌을 취하여 거기 여호와의 성소 곁에 있는 상수리나무 아래 세우고
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.
27 모든 백성에게 이르되 `보라, 이 돌이 우리에게 증거가 되리니 이는 여호와께서 우리에게 하신 모든 말씀을 이 돌이 들었음이라 그런즉 너희로 너희 하나님을 배반치 않게 하도록 이 돌이 증거가 되리라' 하고
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!”
28 백성을 보내어 각기 기업으로 돌아가게 하였더라
Then Joshua sent the people away, and all of them returned to their own areas/homes.
29 이 일 후에 여호와의 종 눈의 아들 여호수아가 일백 십세에 죽으매
Some time after that, Nun’s son Joshua, the faithful servant of Yahweh, died. He was 110 years old when he died.
30 무리가 그를 그의 기업의 경내 딤낫 세라에 장사하였으니 딤낫 세라는 에브라임 산지 가아스산 북이었더라
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.
31 이스라엘이 여호수아의 사는 날 동안과 여호수아 뒤에 생존한 장로들 곧 여호와께서 이스라엘을 위하여 행하신 모든 일을 아는 자의 사는 날 동안 여호와를 섬겼더라
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.
32 이스라엘 자손이 애굽에서 이끌어 낸 요셉의 뼈를 세겜에 장사하였으니 이 곳은 야곱이 세겜의 아비 하몰의 자손에게 금 일백개를 주고 산 땅이라 그것이 요셉 자손의 기업이 되었더라
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.
33 아론의 아들 엘르아살도 죽으매 무리가 그를 그 아들 비느하스가 에브라임 산지에서 받은 산에 장사하였더라
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.
