約書亞記-Joshua 第 23 章

23:1	耶和華使以色列人得安息，不被四圍一切仇敵擾亂；過了多日，約書亞年紀老邁， And many days after Jehovah had given Israel rest from all their enemies around them and Joshua was old and advanced in age,
23:2	就把以色列眾人，把他們的長老、首領、審判官、並官長都召了來，對他們說，我年紀已經老邁； Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and their heads and their judges and their officers; and he said to them, I am old and advanced in age;
23:3	耶和華你們的神，因你們的緣故，向那些國所行的一切事，你們都看見了，因那為你們爭戰的是耶和華你們的神。 And you have seen all that Jehovah your God has done to all these nations because of you, for it was Jehovah your God who fought for you.
23:4	看哪，從約但河起到日落之處的大海，我所剪除的各國和剩下的這些國，我都已經拈鬮分給你們各支派為業。 See, I have allotted to you all these nations that remain as an inheritance for your tribes, as well as all the nations that I cut off, from the Jordan to the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun.
23:5	耶和華你們的神必將他們從你們面前攆出，將他們從你們面前趕出去；你們就必得他們的地為業，正如耶和華你們的神對你們所說的。 And Jehovah your God, He will thrust them out before you and dispossess them out of your sight; and you will possess their land, as Jehovah your God spoke to you.
23:6	所以，你們要分外剛強，謹守遵行寫在摩西律法書上的一切話，不可偏離左右， Therefore be very strong to keep and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, not turning away from it to the right or to the left,
23:7	不可與你們中間所剩下的這些國民攙雜；他們的神，你們不可題他們的名，不可指著他們起誓，也不可事奉、跪拜； And not going unto these nations, these that remain with you; neither shall you make mention of the names of their gods, nor cause anyone to swear by them, nor serve them, nor bow down to them;
23:8	只要照著你們到今日所行的，緊聯於耶和華你們的神。 But you shall cling to Jehovah your God, as you have done to this day.
23:9	因為耶和華已經把又大又強的國民從你們面前趕出；至於你們，直到今日，沒有一人在你們面前站立得住。 For Jehovah has dispossessed great and strong nations because of you; but as for you, no one has stood before you to this day.
23:10	你們一人必追趕千人，因耶和華你們的神照祂對你們所說的，為你們爭戰。 One man of you chases a thousand, for it is Jehovah your God who fights for you, as He has spoken to you.
23:11	你們要分外謹慎，愛耶和華你們的神。 Be very careful therefore for yourselves, that you love Jehovah your God.
23:12	你們若稍微轉去，依附你們中間所剩下的這些國民，與他們彼此結親，互相往來， But if you do indeed turn back and cling to the remainder of these nations, these that remain with you, and marry into them, and go among them and they among you;
23:13	你們要確實知道，耶和華你們的神，必不再將他們從你們面前趕出去；他們卻要成為你們的網羅、陷阱、肋上的鞭、眼中的刺，直到你們在耶和華你們神所賜的這美地上滅亡。 Know for certain that Jehovah your God will no longer dispossess these nations out of your sight, but they will become a snare and a trap to you, and a scourge in your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land that Jehovah your God has given you.
23:14	看哪，我今日要走全地之人必走的路；你們是全心全魂的知道，耶和華你們神所說，要賜給你們好處的話，沒有一句落空。這一切都應驗在你們身上，沒有一句落空。 And now today I am going the way of all the earth; and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not a word has failed of all the good things that Jehovah your God spoke concerning you. All has come to pass for you; not one word of it has failed.
23:15	耶和華你們神所說要賜給你們的一切好處怎樣臨到你們身上，耶和華也必照樣使一切禍患臨到你們身上，直到把你們從耶和華你們神所賜的這美地上除滅。 But just as all the good things that Jehovah your God spoke concerning you have come upon you, so will Jehovah cause all the evil things to come upon you, until He has destroyed you from this good land that Jehovah your God has given you.
23:16	你們若違背耶和華你們神所吩咐你們遵守的約，去事奉別神，跪拜他們，耶和華的怒氣必向你們發作，使你們在祂所賜的美地上速速滅亡。 When you transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God, which He commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down to them, the anger of Jehovah will burn against you, and you will perish quickly from the good land that He has given you.
