Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1约书亚 将 以色列 的众支派聚集在 示剑 ，召了 以色列 的长老、族长、审判官，并官长来，他们就站在 神面前。
1Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
2约书亚 对众民说：「耶和华— 以色列 的 神如此说：『古时你们的列祖，就是 亚伯拉罕 和 拿鹤 的父亲 他拉 ，住在大河那边事奉别神，
2Joshua said to all the people, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor. They served other gods.
3我将你们的祖宗 亚伯拉罕 从大河那边带来，领他走遍 迦南 全地，又使他的子孙众多，把 以撒 赐给他；
3I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his offspring, and gave him Isaac.
4又把 雅各 和 以扫 赐给 以撒 ，将 西珥山 赐给 以扫 为业；后来 雅各 和他的子孙下到 埃及 去了。
4I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau Mount Seir, to possess it. Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
5我差遣 摩西 、 亚伦 ，并照我在 埃及 中所行的降灾与 埃及 ，然后把你们领出来。
5“‘I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.
6我领你们列祖出 埃及 ，他们就到了 红海 ； 埃及 人带领车辆马兵追赶你们列祖到 红海 。
6I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the sea. The Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and with horsemen to the Red Sea.
7你们列祖哀求耶和华，他就使你们和 埃及 人中间黑暗了，又使海水淹没 埃及 人。我在 埃及 所行的事，你们亲眼见过。你们在旷野也住了许多年日。
7When they cried out to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt. You lived in the wilderness many days.
8我领你们到 约旦河 东 亚摩利 人所住之地。他们与你们争战，我将他们交在你们手中，你们便得了他们的地为业；我也在你们面前将他们灭绝。
8“‘I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that lived beyond the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them into your hand. You possessed their land, and I destroyed them from before you.
9那时， 摩押 王 西拨 的儿子 巴勒 起来攻击 以色列 人，打发人召了 比珥 的儿子 巴兰 来咒诅你们。
9Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. He sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you,
10我不肯听 巴兰 的话，所以他倒为你们连连祝福。这样，我便救你们脱离 巴勒 的手。
10but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still. So I delivered you out of his hand.
11你们过了 约旦河 ，到了 耶利哥 ； 耶利哥 人、 亚摩利 人、 比利洗 人、 迦南 人、 赫 人、 革迦撒 人、 希未 人、 耶布斯 人都与你们争战；我把他们交在你们手里。
11“‘You went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho. The men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.
12我打发黄蜂飞在你们前面，将 亚摩利 人的二王从你们面前撵出，并不是用你的刀，也不是用你的弓。
12I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow.
13我赐给你们地土，非你们所修治的；我赐给你们城邑，非你们所建造的。你们就住在其中，又得吃非你们所栽种的葡萄园、橄榄园的果子。』
13I gave you a land on which you had not labored, and cities which you didn’t build, and you live in them. You eat of vineyards and olive groves which you didn’t plant.’
14「现在你们要敬畏耶和华，诚心实意地事奉他，将你们列祖在大河那边和在 埃及 所事奉的神除掉，去事奉耶和华。
14“Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth. Put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, in Egypt; and serve the LORD.
15若是你们以事奉耶和华为不好，今日就可以选择所要事奉的：是你们列祖在大河那边所事奉的神呢？是你们所住这地的 亚摩利 人的神呢？至于我和我家，我们必定事奉耶和华。」
15If it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose today whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
16百姓回答说：「我们断不敢离弃耶和华去事奉别神；
16The people answered, “Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
17因耶和华—我们的 神曾将我们和我们列祖从 埃及 地的为奴之家领出来，在我们眼前行了那些大神迹，在我们所行的道上，所经过的诸国，都保护了我们。
17for it is the LORD our God who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the peoples through the middle of whom we passed.
18耶和华又把住此地的 亚摩利 人都从我们面前赶出去。所以，我们必事奉耶和华，因为他是我们的 神。」
18The LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve the LORD; for he is our God.”
19约书亚 对百姓说：「你们不能事奉耶和华；因为他是圣洁的 神，是忌邪的 神，必不赦免你们的过犯罪恶。
19Joshua said to the people, “You can’t serve the LORD, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins.
20你们若离弃耶和华去事奉外邦神，耶和华在降福之后，必转而降祸与你们，把你们灭绝。」
20If you forsake the LORD, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after he has done you good.”
21百姓回答 约书亚 说：「不然，我们定要事奉耶和华。」
21The people said to Joshua, “No, but we will serve the LORD.”
22约书亚 对百姓说：「你们选定耶和华，要事奉他，你们自己作见证吧！」他们说：「我们愿意作见证。」
22Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the LORD yourselves, to serve him.” They said, “We are witnesses.”
23约书亚 说：「你们现在要除掉你们中间的外邦神，专心归向耶和华— 以色列 的 神。」
23“Now therefore put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD, the God of Israel.”
24百姓回答 约书亚 说：「我们必事奉耶和华—我们的 神，听从他的话。」
24The people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God, and we will listen to his voice.”
25当日， 约书亚 就与百姓立约，在 示剑 为他们立定律例典章。
25So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
26约书亚 将这些话都写在 神的律法书上，又将一块大石头立在橡树下耶和华的圣所旁边。
26Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
27约书亚 对百姓说：「看哪，这石头可以向我们作见证；因为是听见了耶和华所吩咐我们的一切话，倘或你们背弃你们的 神，这石头就可以向你们作见证。」
27Joshua said to all the people, “Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us, for it has heard all the LORD’s words which he spoke to us. It shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God.”
28于是 约书亚 打发百姓各归自己的地业去了。
28So Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.
29这些事以后，耶和华的仆人 嫩 的儿子 约书亚 ，正一百一十岁，就死了。
29After these things, Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred ten years old.
30以色列 人将他葬在他地业的境内，就是在 以法莲 山地的 亭拿·西拉 ，在 迦实山 的北边。
30They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
31约书亚 在世和 约书亚 死后，那些知道耶和华为 以色列 人所行诸事的长老还在的时候， 以色列 人事奉耶和华。
31Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of the LORD, that he had worked for Israel.
32以色列 人从 埃及 所带来 约瑟 的骸骨，葬埋在 示剑 ，就是在 雅各 从前用一百块 银子 向 示剑 的父亲、 哈抹 的子孙所买的那块地里；这就作了 约瑟 子孙的产业。
32They buried the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of silver. They became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
33亚伦 的儿子 以利亚撒 也死了，就把他葬在他儿子 非尼哈 所得 以法莲 山地的小山上。
33Eleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.
