Iosue 1
1 Et factum est post mortem Moysi servi Domini, ut loqueretur Dominus ad Iosue filium Nun, ministrum Moysi, et diceret ei:
And it came to pass after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke unto Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, 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, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, to the children of Israel.
3 Omnem locum, quem calcaverit vestigium pedis vestri, vobis tradam, sicut locutus sum Moysi.
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 A deserto et Libano usque ad fluvium magnum Euphraten, omnis terra Hethaeorum usque ad mare magnum contra solis occasum erit terminus vester.
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your boundary.
5 Nullus poterit vobis resistere cunctis diebus vitae tuae: sicut fui cum Moyse, ita ero tecum: non dimittam, nec derelinquam te.
No man shall be able to stand up before thee all the days of thy life; as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee: I will not let thee fail, nor forsake thee.
6 Confortare, et esto robustus: tu enim sorte divides populo huic Terram, pro qua iuravi patribus tuis, ut traderem eam illis.
Be strong and of a good courage; for thou shalt divide for an inheritance unto this people the land, which I swore unto their fathers to give to 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.
Only be thou strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant hath commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left; in order that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
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 shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, in order that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and then shalt thou have good success.
9 Ecce praecipio tibi, confortare, et esto robustus. Noli metuere, et noli timere: quoniam tecum est Dominus Deus tuus in omnibus ad quaecumque perrexeris.
Behold, I have commanded thee, Be strong and of good courage; be not dismayed, neither be thou discouraged; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10 Praecepitque Iosue principibus populi, dicens: Transite per medium castrorum, et imperate populo, ac dicite:
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 Praeparate 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 yourselves provisions; for after only three days more ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you, to possess it.
12 Rubenitis quoque et Gaditis, et dimidiae tribui Manasse ait:
And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Menasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,
13 Mementote sermonis, quem praecepit 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 hath granted you rest, and hath given 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 little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan; but ye shall pass over armed before your brethren, all the mighty men of valor, 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 shall have granted your brethren rest, as he hath done to you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God giveth them: then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on this side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.
16 Responderuntque ad Iosue, atque dixerunt: Omnia, quae praecepisti nobis, faciemus: et quocumque miseris, ibimus.
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us will we do, and whithersoever thou wilt send us will we go.
17 Sicut obedivimus in cunctis Moysi, ita obediemus et tibi: tantum sit Dominus Deus tuus tecum, sicut fuit cum Moyse.
Entirely so as we have hearkened unto Moses, thus will we hearken unto thee: only the Lord thy God be with thee, 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.
Every man that doth rebel against thy order, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou mayest command him, shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
