Jozuas 23
1 Un pēc ilga laika, kad Tas Kungs Israēlim mieru bija devis no visiem viņu ienaidniekiem visapkārt, un kad Jozuas bija vecs palicis un stipri gados,
Now after a long time, when the Lord had given Israel rest from wars on every side, and Joshua was old and full of years,
2 Tad Jozuas sasauca visus Israēla vecajus un viņu virsniekus un viņu soģus un viņu priekšniekus un uz tiem sacīja: es esmu vecs palicis un stipri gados, -
Joshua sent for all Israel, for their responsible men and their chiefs and their judges and their overseers, and said to them, I am old, and full of years:
3 Un jūs visu esat redzējuši, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, darījis visām šīm tautām jūsu priekšā, jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, tas priekš jums ir karojis.
You have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is the Lord your God who has been fighting for you.
4 Redziet, šās atlikušās tautas es caur mesliem jums esmu devis par daļu jūsu ciltīm, no Jardānes (sākot), un visas tautas, ko es esmu izdeldējis, un līdz tai lielai jūrai pret saules noiešanu.
Now I have given to you, as the heritage of your tribes, all these nations which are still in the land, together with those cut off by me, from Jordan as far as the Great Sea on the west.
5 Un Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, pats tos izdzīs jūsu priekšā un tos no jums aizdzīs, un jūs iemantosiet viņu zemi, tā kā Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, uz jums runājis.
The Lord your God will send them away by force, driving them out before you; and you are to take their land for your heritage, as the Lord your God said to you.
6 Tad nu esat ļoti stipri, turēt un darīt visu, kas rakstīts Mozus bauslības grāmatā, ka jūs no tās neatkāpjaties ne uz labo, ne uz kreiso pusi.
So be very strong to keep and do whatever is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, not turning away from it to the right or to the left;
7 Ka jūs nenoejat pie šīm tautām, kas pie jums atlikušas, un nepieminiet viņu dievu vārdu, un nezvērējiet pie viņiem un nekalpojiet viņiem un nemetaties zemē priekš viņiem,
Have nothing to do with these nations who still are living among you; let not their gods be named by you or used in your oaths; do not be their servants or give them worship:
8 Bet pieķeraties Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, kā jūs esat darījuši līdz šai dienai.
But be true to the Lord your God as you have been till this day.
9 Tā Tas Kungs jūsu priekšā ir izdzinis lielas un varenas tautas, un neviens priekš jums nav pastāvējis līdz šai dienai.
For the Lord has sent out from before you nations great and strong: and they have all given way before you till this day.
10 Viens vīrs no jums dzen tūkstošus, jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, Tas priekš jums karo, tā kā Viņš jums runājis.
One man of you is able to put to flight a thousand; for it is the Lord your God who is fighting for you, as he has said to you.
11 Tāpēc sargājat savas dvēseles ļoti, ka jūs mīļojat To Kungu, savu Dievu.
So keep watch on yourselves, and see that you have love for the Lord your God.
12 Jo kad jūs nogriezīsities un pieķersities šīm tautām, kas pie jums atlikušas un apsvainosities(saradosities) ar viņām un iesiet pie viņām un tās pie jums,
For if you go back, joining yourselves to the rest of these nations who are still among you, getting married to them and living with them and they with you:
13 Tad ziniet tiešām, ka Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, joprojām visas šās tautas jūsu priekšā neizdzīs, bet tās jums tiks par slazda valgu un par tīklu un par pātagu jūsu sānos un par ērkšķiem jūsu acīs, tiekams jūs iesiet bojā no šīs labās zemes, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, jums devis.
Then you may be certain that the Lord your God will not go on driving these nations out from before you; but they will become a danger and a cause of sin to you, a whip for your sides and thorns in your eyes, till you are cut off from this good land which the Lord your God has given you.
14 Un redzi, es aizeju šodien visas pasaules ceļu; tad nu atzīstat no visas sirds un no visas dvēseles, ka neviena vārda netrūkst no visiem labiem vārdiem, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, uz jums runājis; visi jums ir nākuši, no tiem netrūkst neviena vārda.
Now I am about to go the way of all the earth: and you have seen and are certain, all of you, in your hearts and souls, that in all the good things which the Lord said about you, he has kept faith with you; everything has come true for you.
15 Un kā viss tas labums pār jums nācis, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, uz jums runājis: tā Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, uz jums liks nākt visam tam ļaunumam, ko Viņš runājis, tiekams Viņš jūs būs izdeldējis no šīs labās zemes virsas, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, jums devis,
And you will see that, as all the good things which the Lord your God undertook to do for you, have come to you, so the Lord will send down on you all the evil things till he has made your destruction complete, and you are cut off from the good land which the Lord your God has given you.
16 Kad jūs Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, derību pārkāpjat, ko Viņš jums ir devis, un ejat un kalpojat citiem dieviem un metaties zemē priekš viņiem, tad Tā Kunga bardzība pret jums iedegsies un jūs piepeši izdeldēs no tās labās zemes virsas, ko Viņš jums devis.
If the agreement of the Lord your God, which was given to you by his orders, is broken, and you become the servants of other gods and give them worship, then the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, and you will quickly be cut off from the good land which he has given you.
