1Καὶ συνήγαγεν Ἰησοῦς πάσας φυλὰς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Σηλὼ, καὶ συνεκάλεσε τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς γραμματεῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς δικαστὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπέναντι τοῦ Θεοῦ.
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.
2Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαὸν, τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ παρῴκησαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν τὸ ἀπαρχῆς, Θάρα ὁ πατὴρ Ἁβραὰμ, καὶ ὁ πατὴρ Ναχὼρ, καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν θεοῖς ἑτέροις.
2And Joshua said unto all the people: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor; and they served other gods.
3Καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν τὸν Ἁβραὰμ ἐκ τοῦ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, καὶ ὡδήγησα αὐτὸν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ· καὶ ἐπλήθυνα αὐτοῦ σπέρμα, καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτῷ τὸν Ἰσαὰκ,
3And I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
4καὶ τῷ Ἰσαὰκ τὸν Ἰακὼβ καὶ τὸν Ἡσαῦ· καὶ ἔδωκα τῷ Ἡσαῦ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σηεὶρ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτῷ· καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ κατέβησαν εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐγένοντο ἐκεῖ εἰς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολὺ καὶ κραταιόν· καὶ ἐκάκωσαν αὐτοὺς οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι.
4And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau; and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; and Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
5Καὶ ἐπάταξα τὴν Αἴγυπτον ἐν σημείοις οἷς ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτοῖς.
5And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in the midst thereof; and afterward I brought you out.
6Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐξήγαγε τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ εἰσήλθατε εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν ἐρυθράν· καὶ κατεδίωξαν οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι ὀπίσω τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἐν ἅρμασι καὶ ἐν ἵπποις εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν ἐρυθράν.
6And I brought your fathers out of Egypt; and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and with horsemen unto the Red Sea.
7Καὶ ἀνεβοήσαμεν πρὸς Κύριον· καὶ ἔδωκε νεφέλην καὶ γνόφον ἀναμέσον ἡμῶν καὶ ἀναμέσον τῶν Αἰγυπτίων, καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτούς· καὶ εἴδοσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὑμῶν ὅσα ἐποίησε Κύριος ἐν γῇ· Αἰγύπτῳ· καὶ ἦτε ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἡμέρας πλείους.
7And when they cried out unto the LORD, He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt; and ye dwelt in the wilderness many days.
8Καὶ ἤγαγεν ἡμᾶς εἰς γῆν Ἀμοῤῥαίων τῶν κατοικούντων πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν· καὶ κατεκληρονομήσατε τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐξωλοθρεύσατε αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν.
8And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that dwelt beyond the Jordan; and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand, and ye possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
9Καὶ ἀνέστη Βαλὰκ ὁ τοῦ Σεπφὼρ βασιλεὺς Μωὰβ, καὶ παρετάξατο τῷ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀποστείλας ἐκάλεσε τὸν Βαλαὰμ ἀράσασθαι ἡμῖν.
9Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel; and he sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.
10Καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου ἀπολέσαι σε· καὶ εὐλογίαις εὐλόγησεν ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἐξείλατο ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτούς.
10But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he even blessed you; so I delivered you out of his hand.
11Καὶ διέβητε τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ παρεγενήθητε εἰς Ἱεριχώ· καὶ ἐπολέμησαν πρὸς ἡμᾶς οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἱεριχὼ ὁ Ἀμοῤῥαῖος, καὶ ὁ Χαναναῖος, καὶ ὁ Φερεζαῖος, καὶ ὁ Εὑαῖος, καὶ ὁ Ἰεβουσαῖος, καὶ ὁ Χετταῖος, καὶ ὁ Γεργεσαῖος· καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν.
11And ye went over the Jordan, and came unto Jericho; and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.
12Καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε προτέραν ὑμῶν τὴν σφηκίαν· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου ἡμῶν δώδεκα βασιλεῖς τῶν Ἀμοῤῥαίων, οὐκ ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ σου οὐδὲ ἐν τῷ τόξῳ σου.
12And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
13Καὶ ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν γῆν ἐφʼ ἣν οὐκ ἐκοπιάσατε ἐπʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ πόλεις ἃς οὐκ ᾠκοδομήκατε, καὶ κατῳκίσθητε ἐν αὐταῖς, καὶ ἀμπελῶνας καὶ ἐλαιῶνας οὓς οὐκ ἐφυτεύσατε ὑμεῖς, ἔδεσθε.
13And I gave you a land whereon thou hadst not laboured, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell therein; of vineyards and olive-yards which ye planted not do ye eat.
14Καὶ νῦν φοβήθητε Κύριον, καὶ λατρεύσατε αὐτῷ ἐν εὐθύτητι καὶ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, καὶ περιέλεσθε τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους, οἷς ἐλάτρευσαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ λατρεύσατε Κυρίῳ.
14Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve Him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
15Εἰ δὲ μὴ ἀρέσκει ὑμῖν λατρεύειν Κυρίῳ, ἐκλέξασθε ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς σήμερον τίνι λατρεύσητε, εἴτε τοῖς θεοῖς τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν, τοῖς ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, εἴτε τοῖς θεοῖς τῶν Ἀμοῤραίων, ἐν οἷς ὑμεῖς κατοικεῖτε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν· ἐγὼ δὲ καὶ ἡ οἰκία μου λατρεύσομεν Κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἅγιός ἐστι.
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 beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.'
16Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ λαὸς εἶπε, μὴ γένοιτο ἡμῖν καταλιπεῖν Κύριον, ὥστε λατρεύειν θεοῖς ἑτέροις.
16And the people answered and said: 'Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
17Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, αὐτὸς Θεός ἐστιν· αὐτὸς ἀνήγαγεν ἡμᾶς καὶ τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καἰ διεφύλαξεν ἡμᾶς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἐπορεύθημεν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν οὓς παρήλθομεν διʼ αὐτῶν.
17for the LORD our God, He it is that brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and that did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed;
18Καὶ ἐξέβαλε Κύριος τὸν Ἀμοῤῥαῖον καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ κατοικοῦντα τὴν γῆν ἀπὸ προσώπου ἡμῶν· ἀλλὰ καὶ ἡμεῖς λατρεύσομεν Κυρίῳ, οὗτος γὰρ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐστι.
18and the LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites that dwelt in the land; therefore we also will serve the LORD; for He is our God.'
19Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν, οὐ μὴ δύνησθε λατρεύειν Κυρίῳ, ὅτι Θεὸς ἅγιός ἐστι· καὶ ζηλώσας οὗτος οὐκ ἀνήσει τὰ ἁμαρτήματα ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ ἀνομήματα ὑμῶν,
19And Joshua said unto the people: 'Ye cannot serve the LORD; for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgression nor your sins.
20ἡνίκα ἂν ἐγκαταλίπητε Κύριον καὶ λατρεύσητε θεοῖς ἑτέροις· καὶ ἐπελθὼν κακώσει ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐξαναλώσει ὑμᾶς ἀνθʼ ὧν εὖ ἐποίησεν ὑμᾶς.
20If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then He will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after that He hath done you good.'
21Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Ἰησοῦν, οὐχὶ, ἀλλὰ Κυρίῳ λατρεύσομεν.
21And the people said unto Joshua: 'Nay; but we will serve the LORD.'
22Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν, μάρτυρες ὑμεῖς καθʼ ὑμῶν, ὅτι ὑμεῖς ἐξελέξασθε Κυρίῳ λατρεύειν αὐτῷ.
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.' —
23Καὶ νῦν περιέλεσθε τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους τοὺς ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ εὐθύνατε τὴν καρδίαν ὑμῶν πρὸς Κύριον Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ.
23Now therefore put away the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD, the God of Israel.'
24Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Ἰησοῦν, Κυρίῳ λατρεύσομεν καὶ τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκουσόμεθα.
24And the people said unto Joshua: 'The LORD our God will we serve, and unto His voice will we hearken.'
25Καὶ διέθετο Ἰησοῦς διαθήκην πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ νόμον καὶ κρίσιν ἐν Σηλὼ ἐνώπιον τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
25So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
26Καὶ ἔγραψε τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα εἰς βιβλίον νόμων τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ ἔλαβε λίθον μέγαν, καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν Ἰησοῦς ὑπὸ τὴν τέρμινθον ἀπέναντι Κυρίου.
26And Joshua 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.
27Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν, ἰδοὺ ὁ λίθος οὗτος ἔσται ἐν ὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἀκήκοε πάντα τὰ λεχθέντα αὐτῷ ὑπὸ Κυρίου· ὅτι ἐλάλησε πρὸς ὑμᾶς σήμερον, καὶ οὗτος ἔσται ἐν ὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν, ἡνίκα ἂν ψεύσησθε Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ μου.
27And Joshua said unto all the people: 'Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which He spoke unto us; it shall be therefore a witness against you, lest ye deny your God.'
28Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰησοῦς τὸν λαὸν, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.
28So Joshua sent the people away, every man unto his inheritance.
29Καὶ ἐλάτρευσεν Ἰσραὴλ τῷ Κυρίῳ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Ἰησοῦ, καὶ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ὅσοι ἐφείλκυσαν τὸν χρόνον μετὰ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ὅσοι εἴδοσαν πάντα τὰ ἔργα Κυρίου ὅσα ἐποίησε τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
29And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
30Καὶ ἐγένετο μετʼ ἐκεῖνα καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Ναυῆ δοῦλος Κυρίου ἐκατὸν δέκα ἐτῶν.
30And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
31Καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν πρὸς τοῖς ὁρίοις τοῦ κλήρου αὐτοῦ ἐν Θαμνασαρὰχ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Ἐφραὶμ ἀπὸ βοῤῥᾶ τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ Γαλαάδ· ἐκεῖ ἔθηκαν μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ μνῆμα εἰς ὃ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ τὰς μαχαίρας τὰς πετρίνας, ἐν αἷς περιέτεμε τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Γαλγάλοις, ὅτε ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καθὰ συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς Κύριος· καὶ ἐκεῖ εἰσιν ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
31And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of the LORD, that He had wrought for Israel.
32Καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ Ἰωσὴφ ἀνήγαγον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ κατώρυξαν ἐν Σικίμοις, ἐν τῇ μερίδι τοῦ ἀγροῦ οὗ ἐκτήσατο Ἰακὼβ παρὰ τῶν Ἀμοῤῥαίων τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν Σικίμοις ἀμνάδων ἑκατὸν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν Ἰωσὴφ ἐν μερίδι.
32And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money; and they became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
33Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ υἱὸς Ἀαρὼν ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς ἐτελεύτησε, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Γαβαὰρ Φινεὲς τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ἣν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Ἐφραίμ. Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ λαβόντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, περιεφέροσαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς· καὶ Φινεὲς ἱεράτευσεν ἀντὶ Ἐλεάζαρ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἕως ἀπέθανε, καὶ κατωρύγη ἐν Γαβαὰρ τῇ ἑαυτοῦ· οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπήλθοσαν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰς τὴν ἑαυτῶν πόλιν· καὶ ἐσέβοντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὴν Ἀστάρτην, καὶ Ἀσταρὼθ, καὶ τοὺς θεοὺς τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν κύκλῳ αὐτῶν· καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας Ἐγλὼμ τῷ βασιλεῖ Μωὰβ, καὶ ἐκυρίευσεν αὐτῶν ἔτη δεκαοκτώ.
33And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in the Hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
