1 et factum est ut post mortem Mosi servi Domini loqueretur Dominus ad Iosue filium Nun ministrum Mosi et diceret ei
And it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' attendant, saying,
2 Moses servus meus mortuus est surge et transi Iordanem istum tu et omnis populus tecum in terram quam ego dabo filiis Israhel
Moses my servant is dead; and now, rise up, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, into the land which I give unto them, to the children of Israel.
3 omnem locum quem calcaverit vestigium pedis vestri vobis tradam sicut locutus sum Mosi
Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread have I given to you, as I said unto Moses.
4 a deserto et Libano usque ad fluvium magnum Eufraten omnis terra Hettheorum usque ad mare Magnum contra solis occasum erit terminus vester
From the wilderness and this Lebanon to the great river, the river Euphrates, the whole land of the Hittites, to the great sea, toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
5 nullus vobis poterit resistere cunctis diebus vitae tuae sicut fui cum Mose ero et tecum non dimittam nec derelinquam te
None shall be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee; I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
6 confortare et esto robustus tu enim sorte divides populo huic terram pro qua iuravi patribus suis ut traderem eam illis
Be strong and courageous, for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn unto their fathers to give them.
7 confortare igitur et esto robustus valde ut custodias et facias omnem legem quam praecepit tibi Moses servus meus ne declines ab ea ad dextram vel ad sinistram ut intellegas cuncta quae agis
Only be strong and very courageous, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded thee. Turn not from it to the right or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 non recedat volumen legis huius de ore tuo sed meditaberis in eo diebus ac noctibus ut custodias et facias omnia quae scripta sunt in eo tunc diriges viam tuam et intelleges eam
This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth; and thou shalt meditate upon it day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein; for then shalt thou have good success in thy ways, and then shalt thou prosper.
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 thee: Be strong and courageous? Be not afraid, neither be dismayed; for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10 praecepitque Iosue principibus populi dicens transite per medium castrorum et imperate populo ac dicite
And 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
Go through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare yourselves victuals, for in three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, that ye may enter in to take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth you to possess it.
12 Rubenitis quoque et Gadditis et dimidiae tribui Manasse ait
And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to half the tribe of Manasseh spoke Joshua, saying,
13 mementote sermonis quem praecepit vobis Moses famulus Domini dicens Dominus Deus vester dedit vobis requiem et omnem terram
Remember the word that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God has given you rest and has given you this land.
14 uxores vestrae et filii ac iumenta manebunt in terra quam tradidit vobis Moses 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 abide in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan, but ye, all the valiant men, shall go over in array before your brethren and help them,
15 donec det requiem Dominus fratribus vestris sicut et vobis dedit et possideant ipsi quoque terram quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est eis et sic revertemini in terram possessionis vestrae et habitabitis in ea quam vobis dedit Moses famulus Domini trans Iordanem contra solis ortum
until Jehovah give your brethren rest as to you, and they also take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth them; then shall ye return into the land of your possession and possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sun-rising.
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 whither thou shalt send us will we go.
17 sicut oboedivimus in cunctis Mosi ita oboediemus et tibi tantum sit Dominus Deus tecum sicut fuit cum Mose
According as we hearkened to Moses in all things, so will we hearken to thee; only may Jehovah thy God be with thee as he was with Moses.
18 qui contradixerit ori tuo et non oboedierit cunctis sermonibus quos praeceperis ei moriatur tu tantum confortare et viriliter age
Every one that is rebellious against thy commandment and hearkeneth not to thy words in everything that thou commandest us, shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.
