Iosue 1
1 Et factum est post mortem Moysi servi Domini, ut loqueretur Dominus ad Iosue filium Nun, ministrum Moysi, et diceret ei:
Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying,
2 Moyses servus meus mortuus est: Surge, et transi Iordanem istum tu et omnis populus tecum, in Terram, quam ego dabo filiis Israel.
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Omnem locum, quem calcaverit vestigium pedis vestri, vobis tradam, sicut locutus sum Moysi.
I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.
4 A deserto et Libano usque ad fluvium magnum Euphraten, omnis terra Hethæorum usque ad mare magnum contra solis occasum erit terminus vester.
From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Perath, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
5 Nullus poterit vobis resistere cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ: sicut fui cum Moyse, ita ero tecum: non dimittam, nec derelinquam te.
No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.
6 Confortare, et esto robustus: tu enim sorte divides populo huic Terram, pro qua iuravi patribus suis, ut traderem eam illis.
Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7 Confortare igitur, et esto robustus valde: ut custodias, et facias omnem legem, quam præcepit tibi Moyses servus meus: ne declines ab ea ad dexteram vel ad sinistram, ut intelligas cuncta quæ agis.
Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
8 Non recedat volumen legis huius ab ore tuo: sed meditaberis in eo diebus ac noctibus, ut custodias et facias omnia quæ scripta sunt in eo: tunc diriges viam tuam, et intelliges eam.
This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
9 Ecce præcipio tibi, confortare, et esto robustus. Noli metuere, et noli timere: quoniam tecum est Dominus Deus tuus in omnibus ad quæcumque perrexeris.
Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
10 Præcepitque Iosue principibus populi, dicens: Transite per medium castrorum, et imperate populo, ac dicite:
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 Præparate vobis cibaria: quoniam post diem tertium transibitis Iordanem, et intrabitis ad possidendam Terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis.
"Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, 'Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.'"
12 Rubenitis quoque et Gaditis, et dimidiæ tribui Manasse ait:
Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,
13 Mementote sermonis, quem præcepit vobis Moyses famulus Domini, dicens: Dominus Deus vester dedit vobis requiem, et omnem Terram.
"Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, 'The LORD your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.
14 Uxores vestræ, et filii, ac iumenta manebunt in Terra, quam tradidit vobis Moyses trans Iordanem: vos autem transite armati ante fratres vestros, omnes fortes manu, et pugnate pro eis,
Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them
15 donec det Dominus requiem fratribus vestris sicut et vobis dedit, et possideant ipsi quoque Terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est eis: et sic revertimini in Terram possessionis vestræ, et habitabitis in ea, quam vobis dedit Moyses famulus Domini trans Iordanem contra solis ortum.
until the LORD has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.'"
16 Responderuntque ad Iosue, atque dixerunt: Omnia, quæ præcepisti nobis, faciemus: et quocumque miseris, ibimus.
They answered Joshua, saying, "All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
17 Sicut obedivimus in cunctis Moysi, ita obediemus et tibi: tantum sit Dominus Deus tuus tecum, sicut fuit cum Moyse.
Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
18 Qui contradixerit ori tuo, et non obedierit cunctis sermonibus, quos præceperis ei, moriatur. Tu tantum confortare, et viriliter age.
Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn't listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage."
