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約書亞 將 以色列 的眾支派聚集在 示劍 ，召了 以色列 的長老、族長、審判官，並官長來，他們就站在上帝面前。
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約書亞 對眾民說：「耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說：『古時你們的列祖，就是 亞伯拉罕 和 拿鶴 的父親 他拉 ，住在大河那邊事奉別神，
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我將你們的祖宗 亞伯拉罕 從大河那邊帶來，領他走遍 迦南 全地，又使他的子孫眾多，把 以撒 賜給他；
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 以掃 賜給 以撒 ，將 西珥山 賜給 以掃 為業；後來 雅各 和他的子孫下到 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 、 亞倫 ，並照我在 埃及 中所行的降災與 埃及 ，然後把你們領出來。
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我領你們列祖出 埃及 ，他們就到了 紅海 ； 埃及 人帶領車輛馬兵追趕你們列祖到 紅海 。
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你們列祖哀求耶和華，他就使你們和 埃及 人中間黑暗了，又使海水淹沒 埃及 人。我在 埃及 所行的事，你們親眼見過。你們在曠野也住了許多年日。
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我領你們到 約旦河 東 亞摩利 人所住之地。他們與你們爭戰，我將他們交在你們手中，你們便得了他們的地為業；我也在你們面前將他們滅絕。
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那時， 摩押 王 西撥 的兒子 巴勒 起來攻擊 以色列 人，打發人召了 比珥 的兒子 巴蘭 來咒詛你們。
10And I would not hear him, but on the contrary I blessed you by him, and I delivered you out of his hand.
10我不肯聽 巴蘭 的話，所以他倒為你們連連祝福。這樣，我便救你們脫離 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你們過了 約旦河 ，到了 耶利哥 ； 耶利哥 人、 亞摩利 人、 比利洗 人、 迦南 人、 赫 人、 革迦撒 人、 希未 人、 耶布斯 人都與你們爭戰；我把他們交在你們手裏。
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我打發黃蜂飛在你們前面，將 亞摩利 人的二王從你們面前攆出，並不是用你的刀，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我賜給你們地土，非你們所修治的；我賜給你們城邑，非你們所建造的。你們就住在其中，又得吃非你們所栽種的葡萄園、橄欖園的果子。』
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「現在你們要敬畏耶和華，誠心實意地事奉他，將你們列祖在大河那邊和在 埃及 所事奉的神除掉，去事奉耶和華。
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若是你們以事奉耶和華為不好，今日就可以選擇所要事奉的：是你們列祖在大河那邊所事奉的神呢？是你們所住這地的 亞摩利 人的神呢？至於我和我家，我們必定事奉耶和華。」
16And the people answered, and said: God forbid we should leave the Lord, and serve strange gods.
16百姓回答說：「我們斷不敢離棄耶和華去事奉別神；
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因耶和華－我們的上帝曾將我們和我們列祖從 埃及 地的為奴之家領出來，在我們眼前行了那些大神蹟，在我們所行的道上，所經過的諸國，都保護了我們。
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耶和華又把住此地的 亞摩利 人都從我們面前趕出去。所以，我們必事奉耶和華，因為他是我們的上帝。」
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約書亞 對百姓說：「你們不能事奉耶和華；因為他是聖潔的上帝，是忌邪的上帝，必不赦免你們的過犯罪惡。
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你們若離棄耶和華去事奉外邦神，耶和華在降福之後，必轉而降禍與你們，把你們滅絕。」
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 約書亞 說：「不然，我們定要事奉耶和華。」
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約書亞 對百姓說：「你們選定耶和華，要事奉他，你們自己作見證吧！」他們說：「我們願意作見證。」
23Now therefore, said he, put away strange gods from among you, and incline your hearts to the Lord the God of Israel.
23約書亞 說：「你們現在要除掉你們中間的外邦神，專心歸向耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝。」
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 約書亞 說：「我們必事奉耶和華－我們的上帝，聽從他的話。」
25Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem.
25當日， 約書亞 就與百姓立約，在 示劍 為他們立定律例典章。
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約書亞 將這些話都寫在上帝的律法書上，又將一塊大石頭立在橡樹下耶和華的聖所旁邊。
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約書亞 對百姓說：「看哪，這石頭可以向我們作見證；因為是聽見了耶和華所吩咐我們的一切話，倘或你們背棄你們的上帝，這石頭就可以向你們作見證。」
28And he sent the people away every one to their own possession.
28於是 約書亞 打發百姓各歸自己的地業去了。
29And after these things Josue the son of Null the servant of the Lord died, being a hundred and ten years old:
29這些事以後，耶和華的僕人 嫩 的兒子 約書亞 ，正一百一十歲，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 人將他葬在他地業的境內，就是在 以法蓮 山地的 亭拿‧西拉 ，在 迦實山 的北邊。
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約書亞 在世和 約書亞 死後，那些知道耶和華為 以色列 人所行諸事的長老還在的時候， 以色列 人事奉耶和華。
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 人從 埃及 所帶來 約瑟 的骸骨，葬埋在 示劍 ，就是在 雅各 從前用一百塊 銀子 向 示劍 的父親、 哈抹 的子孫所買的那塊地裏；這就作了 約瑟 子孫的產業。
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亞倫 的兒子 以利亞撒 也死了，就把他葬在他兒子 非尼哈 所得 以法蓮 山地的小山上。
