Iosue 1
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 Yahweh, —that Yahweh spake unto Joshua son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, 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, —Now, therefore, arise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, into the land which I am giving unto them—unto the sons 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, unto you, have I given it, —as I spake 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 desert 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 in of the sun, shall be your boundary.
5 nullus vobis poterit resistere cunctis diebus vitae tuae sicut fui cum Mose ero et tecum non dimittam nec derelinquam te
No man shall stand before thee, all the days of thy life, —as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee, I will not fail 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 firm and bold, —for, thou, shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers, —to give unto 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 very firm and bold, taking heed to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, do not turn aside therefrom, to the right hand 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 scroll of the law must not cease out of thy mouth, but thou must talk to thyself therein, day and night, that thou mayest take heed 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
Have I not commanded thee, Be firm and bold, do not start nor be dismayed, —for, with thee, is Yahweh thy God, whithersoever thou goest?
10 praecepitque Iosue principibus populi dicens transite per medium castrorum et imperate populo ac dicite
So 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 ye through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying: Make ready for yourselves, provisions, —for, in three days more, are ye to pass over this Jordan, to go in and possess the land which Yahweh your God is giving you, to possess.
12 Rubenitis quoque et Gadditis et dimidiae tribui Manasse ait
And, unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying:
13 mementote sermonis quem praecepit vobis Moses famulus Domini dicens Dominus Deus vester dedit vobis requiem et omnem terram
Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, —Yahweh your God, is granting you rest, and doth give 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 remain in the land which Moses hath given you over the Jordan, —but, ye, shall pass over, armed, before your brethren, —all ye mighty men of valour, and shall 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 that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, —then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.
16 responderuntque ad Iosue atque dixerunt omnia quae praecepisti nobis faciemus et quocumque miseris ibimus
Then responded they to Joshua, saying, —All that thou hast commanded us, will we do, and, whithersoever 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
As in every thing we hearkened unto Moses, so, will we hearken unto thee, —only let Yahweh 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
Any man who shall rebel against thy bidding, and not hearken unto thy words in all that thou shalt command him, shall be put to death, —only be firm and bold.
