Iosue 1
1 Et factum est post mortem Moysi servi Domini, ut loqueretur Dominus ad Iosue filium Nun, ministrum Moysi, et diceret ei:
Now after the death of His servant Moses, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, 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, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan into the land that I am giving 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 where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses.
4 A deserto et Libano usque ad fluvium magnum Euphraten, omnis terra Hethaeorum usque ad mare magnum contra solis occasum erit terminus vester.
Your territory shall extend from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great River Euphrates—all the land of the Hittites—and west as far as the Great Sea.
5 Nullus poterit vobis resistere cunctis diebus vitae tuae: sicut fui cum Moyse, ita ero tecum: non dimittam, nec derelinquam te.
No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
6 Confortare, et esto robustus: tu enim sorte divides populo huic Terram, pro qua iuravi patribus tuis, ut traderem eam illis.
Be strong and courageous, for you shall give these people the inheritance of the land that I swore to their fathers I would give them.
7 Confortare igitur, et esto robustus valde: ut custodias, et facias omnem legem, quam praecepit tibi Moyses servus meus: ne declines ab ea ad dexteram vel ad sinistram, ut intelligas cuncta quae agis.
Above all, be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe all the law that My servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper wherever you go.
8 Non recedat volumen legis huius ab ore tuo: sed meditaberis in eo diebus ac noctibus, ut custodias et facias omnia quae scripta sunt in eo: tunc diriges viam tuam, et intelliges eam.
This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.
9 Ecce praecipio tibi, confortare, et esto robustus. Noli metuere, et noli timere: quoniam tecum est Dominus Deus tuus in omnibus ad quaecumque perrexeris.
Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
10 Praecepitque Iosue principibus populi, dicens: Transite per medium castrorum, et imperate populo, ac dicite:
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people:
11 Praeparate vobis cibaria: quoniam post diem tertium transibitis Iordanem, et intrabitis ad possidendam Terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis.
“Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you will cross the Jordan to go in and take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’”
12 Rubenitis quoque et Gaditis, et dimidiae tribui Manasse ait:
But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,
13 Mementote sermonis, quem praecepit vobis Moyses famulus Domini, dicens: Dominus Deus vester dedit vobis requiem, et omnem Terram.
“Remember what Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and He will give you this land.’
14 Uxores vestrae, 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 young children, and your livestock may remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But all your mighty men of valor must be armed for battle to cross over ahead of your brothers and 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 vestrae, et habitabitis in ea, quam vobis dedit Moyses famulus Domini trans Iordanem contra solis ortum.
until the LORD gives them rest as He has done for you, and your brothers also possess the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan.”
16 Responderuntque ad Iosue, atque dixerunt: Omnia, quae praecepisti nobis, faciemus: et quocumque miseris, ibimus.
So they answered Joshua, “Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere 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 obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. And may the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.
18 Qui contradixerit ori tuo, et non obedierit cunctis sermonibus, quos praeceperis ei, moriatur. tu tantum confortare, et viriliter age.
Anyone who rebels against your order and does not obey your words, all that you command him, will be put to death. Above all, be strong and courageous!”
