1And Josue gathered together all the tribes of Israel in Sichem, and called for the ancients, and the princes, and the judges, and the masters: and they stood in the sight of the Lord:
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。
2And he spoke thus to the people: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old on the other side of the river, Thare the father of Abraham, and Nachor: and they served strange gods.
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，
3And I took your father Abraham from the borders of Mesopotamia: and brought him into the land of Chanaan: and I multiplied his seed,
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；
4And gave him Isaac: and to him again I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave to Esau mount Seir for his possession: but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
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。
5And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I struck Egypt with many signs and wonders.
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。
6And I brought you and your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea: and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen, as far as the Red Sea.
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 。
7And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness a long time:
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。
8And I brought you into the land of the Amorrhite, who dwelt beyond the Jordan. And when they fought against you, I delivered them into your hands, and you possessed their land, and slew them.
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。
9And Balac son of Sephor king of Moab arose and fought against Israel. And he sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse 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。
10And I would not hear him, but on the contrary I blessed you by him, and I delivered you out of his hand.
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。
11And you passed over the Jordan, and you came to Jericho. And the men of that city fought against you, the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Gergesite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite: and I delivered them into your hands.
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。
12And I sent before you hornets: and I drove them out from their places, the two kings of the Amorrhites, not with thy sword nor with thy bow.
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。
13And I gave you a land, in which you had not laboured, and cities to dwell in which you built not, vineyards and oliveyards, which you planted not.
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。』
14Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him with a perfect and most sincere heart: and put away the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
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。
15But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will 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。」
16And the people answered, and said: God forbid we should leave the Lord, and serve strange gods.
16百姓回答说：「我们断不敢离弃耶和华去事奉别神；
17The Lord our God he brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage: and did very great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way by which we journeyed, and among all the people through whom we passed.
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。
18And he hath cast out all the nations, the Amorrhite the inhabitant of the land into which we are come. Therefore we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.
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。」
19And Josue said to the people: You will not be able to serve the Lord: for he is a holy God, and mighty and jealous, and will not forgive your wickedness and sins.
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。
20If you leave the Lord, and serve strange gods, he will turn, and will afflict you, and will destroy you after all the good he hath done you.
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。」
21And the people said to Josue: No, it shall not be so as thou sayest, but we will serve the Lord.
21百姓回答 约书亚 说：「不然，我们定要事奉耶和华。」
22And Josue said to the people: You are witnesses, that you yourselves have chosen you the Lord to serve him. And they answered: We are witnesses.
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。」
23Now therefore, said he, put away strange gods from among you, and incline your hearts to the Lord the God of Israel.
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。」
24And the people said to Josue: We will serve the Lord our God, and we will be obedient to his commandments.
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。」
25Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem.
25当日， 约书亚 就与百姓立约，在 示剑 为他们立定律例典章。
26And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord.
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。
27And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God.
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。」
28And he sent the people away every one to their own possession.
28于是 约书亚 打发百姓各归自己的地业去了。
29And after these things Josue the son of Null the servant of the Lord died, being a hundred and ten years old:
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。
30And they buried him in the border of his possession in Thamnathsare, which is situate in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount Gaas.
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。
31And Israel served the Lord all the days of Josue, and of the ancients that lived a long time after Josue, and that had known all the works of the Lord which he had done in Israel.
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。
32And the bones of Joseph which the children of Israel had taken out of Egypt, they buried in Sichem, in that part of the field which Jacob had bought of the sons of Hemor the father of Sichem, for a hundred young ewes, and it was in the possession of the sons of Joseph.
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。
33Eleazar also the son of Aaron died: and they buried him in Gabaath that belongeth to Phinees his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
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。
