Joshua 23
1 And it came to pass after many days, when Jehovah had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years;
evoluto autem multo tempore postquam pacem Dominus dederat Israheli subiectis in gyro nationibus universis et Iosue iam longevo et persenilis aetatis
2 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and well stricken in years:
vocavit Iosue omnem Israhelem maioresque natu et principes ac duces et magistros dixitque ad eos ego senui et progressioris aetatis sum
3 and ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for Jehovah your God, he it is that hath fought for you.
vosque cernitis omnia quae fecerit Dominus Deus vester cunctis per circuitum nationibus quomodo pro vobis ipse pugnaverit
4 Behold, I have allotted unto you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun.
et nunc quia vobis sorte divisit omnem terram ab orientali parte Iordanis usque ad mare Magnum multaeque adhuc supersunt nationes
5 And Jehovah your God, he will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as Jehovah your God spake unto you.
Dominus Deus vester disperdet eas et auferet a facie vestra et possidebitis terram sicut vobis pollicitus est
6 Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
tantum confortamini et estote solliciti ut custodiatis cuncta quae scripta sunt in volumine legis Mosi et non declinetis ab eis nec ad dextram nec ad sinistram
7 that ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves unto them;
ne postquam intraveritis ad gentes quae inter vos futurae sunt iuretis in nomine deorum earum et serviatis eis et adoretis illos
8 but cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day.
sed adhereatis Domino Deo vestro quod fecistis usque in diem hanc
9 For Jehovah hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath stood before you unto this day.
et tunc auferet Dominus in conspectu vestro gentes magnas et robustissimas et nullus vobis resistere poterit
10 One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he spake unto you.
unus e vobis persequetur hostium mille viros quia Dominus Deus vester pro vobis ipse pugnabit sicut pollicitus est
11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love Jehovah your God.
hoc tantum diligentissime praecavete ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum
12 Else if ye do at all go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you;
quod si volueritis gentium harum quae inter vos habitant erroribus adherere et cum eis miscere conubia atque amicitias copulare
13 know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap unto you, and a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.
iam nunc scitote quod Dominus Deus vester non eas deleat ante faciem vestram sed sint vobis in foveam ac laqueum et offendiculum ex latere vestro et sudes in oculis vestris donec vos auferat atque disperdat de terra hac optima quam tradidit vobis
14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which Jehovah your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, not one thing hath failed thereof.
en ego hodie ingrediar viam universae terrae et toto animo cognoscetis quod de omnibus verbis quae se Dominus praestaturum nobis esse pollicitus est unum non praeterierit in cassum
15 And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon you of which Jehovah your God spake unto you, so will Jehovah bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.
sicut ergo implevit opere quod promisit et prospera cuncta venerunt sic adducet super vos quicquid malorum comminatus est donec vos auferat atque disperdat de terra hac optima quam tradidit vobis
16 When ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them; then will the anger of Jehovah be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
eo quod praeterieritis pactum Domini Dei vestri quod pepigit vobiscum et servieritis diis alienis et adoraveritis eos cito atque velociter consurget in vos furor Domini et auferemini de terra hac optima quam tradidit vobis
