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 a long time passed, after the Lord had given peace to Israel by subjecting all the surrounding nations. And Joshua was now old and very advanced in age.
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 called all of Israel, and those greater by birth, and the leaders and rulers and teachers, and he said to them: “I am elderly and advanced in age.
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.
And you yourselves discern all that the Lord your God has done with all the surrounding nations, in what manner he himself has fought 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.
And now, since he has divided to you by lot all the land, from the eastern part of the Jordan even to the great sea, and yet many nations still remain,
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 destroy them, and he will take them away before your face, and you shall possess the land, just as he has promised 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.
Even so, be strengthened and be careful that you observe all the things that have been written in the book of the law of Moses, and that you do not turn aside from them, neither to the right, nor 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,
Otherwise, after you have entered to the Gentiles, who will be among you in the future, you might swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore them.
8 Bet pieķeraties Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, kā jūs esat darījuši līdz šai dienai.
Instead, cling to the Lord your God, just as you have done even to this day.
9 Tā Tas Kungs jūsu priekšā ir izdzinis lielas un varenas tautas, un neviens priekš jums nav pastāvējis līdz šai dienai.
And then the Lord God will take away, in your sight, nations that are great and very robust, and no one will be able to withstand you.
10 Viens vīrs no jums dzen tūkstošus, jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, Tas priekš jums karo, tā kā Viņš jums runājis.
One of you shall pursue a thousand men of the enemies. For the Lord your God himself will fight on your behalf, just as he promised.
11 Tāpēc sargājat savas dvēseles ļoti, ka jūs mīļojat To Kungu, savu Dievu.
Even so, be very diligent and careful in this: that you love 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,
But if you choose to cling to the errors of these nations that live among you, and to mix with them by marriage, and to join with them by friendship,
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.
even now, know this: that the Lord your God will not wipe them away before your face. Instead, they shall be a pit and a snare to you, and a stumbling block at your side, and stakes in your eyes, until he takes you away and scatters you from this excellent land, which he has delivered to 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.
Lo, today I am entering the way of the entire earth, and you shall know with all your mind that, out of all the words that the Lord has promised to fulfill for you, not one will pass by unfulfilled.
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,
Therefore, just as he has fulfilled in deed what he has promised, and all prosperous things have arrived, so will he bring upon you whatever evils were threatened, until he takes you away and scatters you from this excellent land, which he has delivered to 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.
when you will have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he has formed with you, and will have served strange gods, and will have adored them. And then the fury of the Lord will rise up quickly and speedily against you, and you will be taken away from this excellent land, which he has delivered to you.”
