Joshua 24
1 Then Joshua got all the tribes of Israel together at Shechem; and he sent for the responsible men of Israel and their chiefs and their judges and their overseers; and they took their place before God.
Un Jozuas sapulcināja visas Israēla ciltis Šehemē un sasauca Israēla vecajus un viņu virsniekus un viņu soģus un viņu priekšniekus, un tie atnāca Dieva priekšā.
2 And Joshua said to all the people, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel: In the past your fathers, Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor, were living on the other side of the River: and they were worshipping other gods.
Tad Jozuas sacīja uz visiem tiem ļaudīm: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: viņpus upes jūsu tēvi vecos laikos ir dzīvojuši, Tārus, Ābrahāma un Nahora tēvs, un ir kalpojuši citiem dieviem.
3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River, guiding him through all the land of Canaan; I made his offspring great in number, and gave him Isaac.
Tad Es ņēmu jūsu tēvu Ābrahāmu no viņas upes puses un tam liku staigāt caur visu Kanaāna zemi, un Es vairoju arī viņa dzimumu un devu viņam Īzaku.
4 And to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau: to Esau I gave Mount Seir, as his heritage; but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
Un Īzakam Es devu Jēkabu un Ēsavu, un Ēsavam Es devu Seīra kalnus par daļu, bet Jēkabs un viņa bērni nogāja uz Ēģiptes zemi.
5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, troubling Egypt by all the signs I did among them: and after that I took you out.
Tad Es sūtīju Mozu un Āronu, un mocīju Ēģiptes zemi, tā kā Es viņas vidū esmu darījis, un pēc tam Es jūs izvedu.
6 I took your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the Red Sea; and the Egyptians came after your fathers to the Red Sea, with their war-carriages and their horsemen.
Kad Es jūsu tēvus no Ēģiptes zemes biju izvedis, tad jūs nācāt pie jūras, un ēģiptieši jūsu tēviem dzinās pakaļ ar ratiem un ar jātniekiem līdz niedru jūrai.
7 And at their cry, the Lord made it dark between you and the Egyptians, and made the sea go over them, covering them with its waters; your eyes have seen what I did in Egypt: then for a long time you were living in the waste land.
Tad tie brēca uz To Kungu, un Viņš lika tumsību starp jums un ēģiptiešiem, un Viņš lika jūrai pār tiem nākt un tos apklāja, un jūsu acis redzējušas, ko Es Ēģiptes zemē esmu darījis. Pēc tam jūs ilgu laiku esat dzīvojuši tuksnesī.
8 And I took you into the lands of the Amorites on the other side of Jordan; and they made war on you, and I gave them into your hands and you took their land; and I sent destruction on them before you.
Un Es jūs vedu Amoriešu zemē, kas viņpus Jardānes dzīvoja: tie pret jums karoja, bet Es tos nodevu jūsu rokā, un jūs iemantojāt viņu zemi, un Es tos izdeldēju jūsu priekšā.
9 Then Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, went up to war against Israel; and he sent for Balaam, the son of Beor, to put a curse on you:
Tad Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moabiešu ķēniņš, cēlās un karoja pret Israēli; un viņš nosūtīja un lika aicināt Bileāmu, Beora dēlu, jūs nolādēt.
10 But I did not give ear to Balaam; and so he went on blessing you; and I kept you safe from him.
Bet Es Bileāmu negribēju klausīt, un viņš svētīdams jūs svētīja, un Es jūs izglābu no viņa rokas.
11 Then you went over Jordan and came to Jericho: and the men of Jericho made war on you, the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Hivites and the Jebusites: and I gave them up into your hands.
Un jūs cēlāties pār Jardāni un nācāt uz Jēriku; tad Jērikus iedzīvotāji pret jums karoja, Amorieši, Ferezieši un Kanaānieši un Hetieši un Ģirgozieši un Hivieši un Jebusieši, bet Es tos nodevu jūsu rokās.
12 And I sent the hornet before you, driving out the two kings of the Amorites before you, not with your sword and your bow.
Un Es sūtīju jūsu priekšā dundurus, tie tos priekš jums izdzina, kā arī tos divus Amoriešu ķēniņus, ne caur tavu zobenu, ne caur tavu stopu.
13 And I gave you a land on which you had done no work, and towns not of your building, and you are now living in them; and your food comes from vine-gardens and olive-gardens not of your planting.
Un Es jums devu zemi, ko tu neesi apkopis, un pilsētas, ko jūs neesat uzcēluši, ka tur dzīvojat, vīna dārzus un eļļas kokus, ko jūs neesat dēstījuši, ka no tiem ēdat.
14 So now, go in fear of the Lord, and be his servants with true hearts: put away the gods worshipped by your fathers across the River and in Egypt, and be servants of the Lord.
Un nu bīstaties To Kungu un kalpojiet Viņam skaidri un taisni, un atmetiet tos dievus, kam jūsu tēvi viņpus upes un Ēģiptes zemē ir kalpojuši, un kalpojiet Tam Kungam.
15 And if it seems evil to you to be the servants of the Lord, make the decision this day whose servants you will be: of the gods whose servants your fathers were across the River, or of the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living: but I and my house will be the servants of the Lord.
Bet ja tas jums nepatiks, Tam Kungam kalpot, tad izvēlaties sev šodien, kam jūs gribat kalpot, vai tiem dieviem, kam jūsu tēvi kalpojuši viņpus upes, vai tiem Amoriešu dieviem, kuru zemē jūs dzīvojat. Bet es un mans nams, mēs kalposim Tam Kungam.
16 Then the people in answer said, Never will we give up the Lord to be the servants of other gods;
Tad tie ļaudis atbildēja un sacīja: lai tas ir tālu no mums, To Kungu atstāt un kalpot citiem dieviem.
17 For it is the Lord our God who has taken us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house, and who did all those great signs before our eyes, and kept us safe on all our journeys, and among all the peoples through whom we went:
Jo Tas Kungs ir mūsu Dievs; Tas mūs un mūsu tēvus izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes, no tā vergu nama, Tas priekš mums šās lielās zīmes darījis un mūs pasargājis uz visiem ceļiem, kur esam gājuši, un starp visiem ļaudīm, caur kuru vidu esam staigājuši.
18 And the Lord sent out from before us all the peoples, the Amorites living in the land: so we will be the servants of the Lord, for he is our God.
Un Tas Kungs mūsu priekšā izdzinis visus tos ļaudis un tos Amoriešus, šās zemes iedzīvotājus, tāpēc mēs kalposim Tam Kungam, jo Tas ir mūsu Dievs.
19 And Joshua said to the people, You are not able to be the servants of the Lord, for he is a holy God, a God who will not let his honour be given to another: he will have no mercy on your wrongdoing or your sins.
Tad Jozuas sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: jūs nevarēsiet Tam Kungam kalpot, jo Tas Kungs ir svēts Dievs, Viņš ir stiprs Dievs, dusmotājs, Viņš nepiedos jūsu pārkāpumus, nedz jūsu grēkus.
20 If you are turned away from the Lord and become the servants of strange gods, then turning against you he will do you evil, cutting you off, after he has done you good.
Kad jūs no Tā Kunga atstāsities un kalposiet svešiem dieviem, tad Viņš atstāsies un jums darīs ļaunu, un jums liks bojā iet, pēc tam, kad Viņš jums labu darījis.
21 And the people said to Joshua, No! But we will be the servants of the Lord.
Tad tie ļaudis sacīja uz Jozua: nē, bet mēs kalposim Tam Kungam.
22 And Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have made the decision to be the servants of the Lord. And they said, We are witnesses.
Tad Jozuas sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: jūs esat liecinieki sev pašiem, ka jūs To Kungu esat izvēlējušies, Viņam kalpot. Un tie sacīja: mēs esam liecinieki.
23 Then, he said, put away the strange gods among you, turning your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.
Un nu atmetiet tos svešos dievus, kas jūsu starpā, un griežat savas sirdis uz To Kungu, Israēla Dievu.
24 And the people said to Joshua, We will be the servants of the Lord our God, and we will give ear to his voice.
Un tie ļaudis sacīja uz Jozua: mēs kalposim Tam Kungam, mūsu Dievam, un klausīsim Viņa balsi.
25 So Joshua made an agreement with the people that day, and gave them a rule and a law in Shechem.
Tā Jozuas tai dienā darīja derību ar tiem ļaudīm, un tiem iecēla likumus un tiesas Šehemē.
26 And Joshua put these words on record, writing them in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and put it up there under the oak-tree which was in the holy place of the Lord.
Un Jozuas rakstīja šos vārdus Dieva bauslības grāmatā un ņēma lielu akmeni un to tur uzcēla apakš ozola pie Tā Kunga svētās vietas.
27 And Joshua said to all the people, See now, this stone is to be a witness against us; for all the words of the Lord have been said to us in its hearing: so it will be a witness against you if you are false to the Lord your God.
Un Jozuas sacīja uz visiem ļaudīm: redzi, šis akmens mums būs par liecību; jo tas ir dzirdējis visus Tā Kunga vārdus, ko Viņš ar mums runājis, - tas būs jums par liecību, ka jūs savam Dievam nemelojat.
28 Then Joshua let the people go away, every man to his heritage.
Tā Jozuas tos ļaudis atlaida, ikvienu savā īpašumā.
29 Now after these things, the death of Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, took place, he being then a hundred and ten years old.
Un notikās pēc šīm lietām, tad Jozuas, Nuna dēls, Tā Kunga kalps, nomira, simts un desmit gadus vecs būdams.
30 And they put his body in the earth in the land of his heritage in Timnath-serah, in the hill-country of Ephraim, to the north of Mount Gaash.
Un tie viņu apraka viņa īpašuma robežās, Timnat-Zerā, kas ir Efraīma kalnos, no Gaāša kalna pret ziemeļiem.
31 And Israel was true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the older men who were still living after Joshua's death, and had seen what the Lord had done for Israel.
Un Israēls kalpoja Tam Kungam, kamēr Jozuas dzīvoja un kamēr tie vecaji dzīvoja, kas ilgi pēc Jozuas dzīvoja un kas visus Tā Kunga darbus zināja, ko Viņš Israēlim bija darījis.
32 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel had taken up from Egypt, they put in the earth in Shechem, in the property which Jacob had got from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred shekels: and they became the heritage of the children of Joseph.
Un tie apraka arīdzan Jāzepa kaulus, ko Israēla bērni no Ēģiptes zemes bija izveduši, Šehemē, tai tīruma gabalā, ko Jēkabs no Hamora, Šehema tēva, bērniem bija pircis par simts sudraba gabaliem; jo tas Jāzepa bērniem bija ticis par daļu.
33 Then the death of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, took place; and his body was put in the earth in the hill of Phinehas his son, which had been given to him in the hill-country of Ephraim.
Un Eleazars, Ārona dēls, nomira, un viņu apraka Ģibejā, viņa dēla Pinehasa pilsētā, kas viņam bija dota Efraīma kalnos.
