Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
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 Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other 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 other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
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 I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; 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。
5I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.
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 your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto 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 when they cried unto the LORD , he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
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 Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
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。
9Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the 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。
10But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so 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 ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.
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 the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but 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 have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
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。』
14¶ Now therefore fear the LORD , and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye 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。
15And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD , choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye 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 that we should forsake the LORD , to serve other gods;
16百姓回答說：「我們斷不敢離棄耶和華去事奉別神；
17For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, 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 the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also 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 Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD : for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your 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 ye forsake the LORD , and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
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 unto Joshua, Nay; 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 Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD , to serve him. And they said, 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 put away, said he , the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD 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 unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
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。」
25So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
25當日， 約書亞 就與百姓立約，在 示劍 為他們立定律例典章。
26¶ And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by 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 Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny 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。」
28So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.
28於是 約書亞 打發百姓各歸自己的地業去了。
29¶ And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD , died, being an 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 inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.
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 Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD , that he had done for 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。
32¶ And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children 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。
33And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas 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。
