23:1
|
耶和华使以色列人安静，不与四围的一切仇敌争战，已经多日。约书亚年纪老迈，
|
|
|
And it came to pass after many days, when Jehovah had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years;
|
|
23:2
|
就把以色列众人的长老、族长、审判官，并官长都召了来，对他们说：「我年纪已经老迈。
|
|
|
that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and well stricken in years:
|
|
23:3
|
耶和华你们的神因你们的缘故向那些国所行的一切事，你们亲眼看见了，因那为你们争战的是耶和华你们的神。
|
|
|
and ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for Jehovah your God, he it is that hath fought for you.
|
|
23:4
|
我所剪除和所剩下的各国，从约但河起到日落之处的大海，我已经拈阄分给你们各支派为业。
|
|
|
Behold, I have allotted unto you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun.
|
|
23:5
|
耶和华你们的神必将他们从你们面前赶出去，使他们离开你们，你们就必得他们的地为业，正如耶和华你们的神所应许的。
|
|
|
And Jehovah your God, he will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as Jehovah your God spake unto you.
|
|
23:6
|
所以，你们要大大壮胆，谨守遵行写在摩西律法书上的一切话，不可偏离左右。
|
|
|
Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
|
|
23:7
|
不可与你们中间所剩下的这些国民搀杂。他们的神，你们不可提他的名，不可指着他起誓，也不可事奉、叩拜；
|
|
|
that ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves unto them;
|
|
23:8
|
只要照着你们到今日所行的，专靠耶和华你们的神。
|
|
|
but cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day.
|
|
23:9
|
因为耶和华已经把又大又强的国民从你们面前赶出；直到今日，没有一人在你们面前站立得住。
|
|
|
For Jehovah hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath stood before you unto this day.
|
|
23:10
|
你们一人必追赶千人，因耶和华你们的神照他所应许的，为你们争战。
|
|
|
One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he spake unto you.
|
|
23:11
|
你们要分外谨慎，爱耶和华你们的神。
|
|
|
Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love Jehovah your God.
|
|
23:12
|
你们若稍微转去，与你们中间所剩下的这些国民联络，彼此结亲，互相往来，
|
|
|
Else if ye do at all go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you;
|
|
23:13
|
你们要确实知道，耶和华你们的神必不再将他们从你们眼前赶出；他们却要成为你们的网罗、机槛、肋上的鞭、眼中的刺，直到你们在耶和华你们神所赐的这美地上灭亡。
|
|
|
know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap unto you, and a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.
|
|
23:14
|
「我现在要走世人必走的路。你们是一心一意地知道，耶和华你们神所应许赐福与你们的话没有一句落空，都应验在你们身上了。
|
|
|
And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which Jehovah your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, not one thing hath failed thereof.
|
|
23:15
|
耶和华你们神所应许的一切福气怎样临到你们身上，耶和华也必照样使各样祸患临到你们身上，直到把你们从耶和华你们神所赐的这美地上除灭。
|
|
|
And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon you of which Jehovah your God spake unto you, so will Jehovah bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.
|
|
23:16
|
你们若违背耶和华你们神吩咐你们所守的约，去事奉别神，叩拜他，耶和华的怒气必向你们发作，使你们在他所赐的美地上速速灭亡。」
|
|
|
When ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them; then will the anger of Jehovah be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
