Joshua 24
1 And Joshua gathered together all the tribes of Israel at Shechem, and he called those greater by birth, and the leaders and judges and teachers. And they stood in the sight of the Lord.
И собра Иисус вся племена Израилева в Сихем, и созва старейшины Израилевы и князи их, и судии их и книгочия их, и сташа пред Господем Богом.
2 And he spoke to the people in this way: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Your fathers lived, in the beginning, across the river: Terah, the father of Abraham, and Nahor. And they served strange gods.
И рече Иисус ко всем людем, глаголя: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: об ону страну реки жиша отцы ваши исперва, Фара отец Авраамов и отец Нахоров, и служиша богом иным:
3 Then I brought your father Abraham from the parts of Mesopotamia, and I led him into the land of Canaan. And I multiplied his offspring,
и поях отца вашего Авраама от об ону страну реки, и водих его во всей земли Ханаанстей: и умножих семя его, и дах ему Исаака:
4 and I gave to him Isaac. And to him, I gave again Jacob and Esau. And I gave mount Seir to Esau as a possession. Yet truly, Jacob and his sons descended into Egypt.
Исааку же дах Иакова и Исава и дах Исаву гору Сиир наследие ему: Иаков же и сынове его снидоша во Египет, и быша тамо в язык велик и крепок и мног, и озлобиша их Египтяне:
5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I struck Egypt with many signs and portents.
и послах Моисеа и Аарона, и поразих Египта во знамениих, яже сотворих в них, и по сем изведох вас,
6 And I led you and your fathers away from Egypt, and you arrived at the sea. And the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen, as far as the Red Sea.
и изведох отцы вашя из Египта, и внидосте в море Чермное: и погнаша Египтяне вслед отец ваших на колесницах и на конех в море Чермное:
7 Then the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord. And he stationed a darkness between you and the Egyptians, and he led the sea over them, and he covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you lived in the wilderness for a long time.
и возопихом ко Господу, и даде облак и мглу между нами и между Египтяны, и наведе на них море, и покры их: и видеша очеса ваша, елика сотвори Господь в земли Египетстей: и бысте в пустыни дни многи:
8 And I led you into the land of the Amorite, who was living beyond the Jordan. And when they fought against you, I delivered them into your hands, and you possessed their land, and you put them to death.
и приведе вас в землю Аморреов живущих об ону страну Иордана, и ополчишася на вы: и предаде я Господь в руки вашя, и наследисте землю их, и потребисте их от лица вашего:
9 Then Balak, the son of Zippor, the king of Moab, rose up and fought against Israel. And he sent and called for Balaam, the son of Beor, so that he might curse you.
и воста Валак сын Сепфоров, царь Моавль, и ополчися противу Израиля, и послав призва Валаама сына Веорова кляти вас:
10 And I was not willing to listen to him, but on the contrary, I blessed you through him, and I freed you from his hand.
и не восхоте Господь Бог погубити тя, но благословением благослови вас и избави вас от рук их:
11 And you crossed over the Jordan, and you arrived at Jericho. And the men of that city fought against you: the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. And I delivered them into your hands.
и преидосте Иордан и приидосте во Иерихон, и бишася с вами живущии во Иерихоне, Аморрей и Ферезей, и Хананей и Хеттей, и Гергесей и Евей и Иевусей, и предаде их Господь в руки вашя:
12 And I sent wasps before you. And I drove them from their places, the two kings of the Amorites, but not by your sword, and not by your bow.
и посла пред вами шершни, и изгна от лица вашего два царя Аморрейска, не оружием твоим, ниже луком твоим,
13 And I gave you a land, in which you did not labor, and cities, which you did not build, so that you might live in them, and vineyards and olive groves, which you did not plant.’
и даде вам землю, о нейже не трудистеся на ней, и грады, ихже не создасте, и пожисте в них, и винограды и масличие, ихже не насадисте вы, ядосте:
14 Now therefore, fear the Lord, and serve him with a perfect and very sincere heart. And take away the gods that your fathers served in Mesopotamia and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
и ныне убойтеся Господа, и послужите Ему в правде и правоте: и отвержите боги чуждыя, имже служиша отцы ваши об ону страну реки и во Египте, и служите Господеви:
15 But if it seems evil to you that you would serve the Lord, a choice is given to you. Choose today what pleases you, and whom you ought to serve above all else, either the gods that your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
аще же не угодно вам служити Господеви, изберите сами себе днесь, кому послужите, или богом отец ваших, иже быша об ону страну реки, или богом Аморрейским, в нихже вы живете на земли их: аз же и дом мой служити будем Господеви, яко свят есть.
16 And the people responded, and they said: “Far be it from us that we would forsake the Lord, and serve foreign gods.
И отвещавше людие, реша: не буди нам оставити Господа, еже служити богом иным:
17 The Lord our God himself led us and our fathers away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude. And he accomplished immense signs in our sight, and he preserved us along the entire way by which we journeyed, and among all the people through whom we passed.
Господь бо Бог наш Той Бог есть, Той изведе нас и отцы нашы от земли Египетския, от дому работы, иже сотвори пред очима нашима знамения велия, и сохрани нас во всем пути, по немуже идохом, и во всех языцех, ихже сквозе проидохом:
18 And he cast out all the nations, the Amorite, the inhabitant of the land that we entered. And so, we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.”
и изгна Господь вся языки и Аморреа живущаго на земли от лица нашего: но и мы послужим Господеви, Сей бо есть Бог наш.
19 And Joshua said to the people: “You will not be able to serve the Lord. For he is a holy and powerful God, and he is jealous, and he will not ignore your wickedness and sins.
И рече Иисус к людем: не возможете служити Господеви Богу, яко Бог свят есть и ревнитель сей: не оставит грех ваших и беззаконий ваших:
20 If you leave behind the Lord, and you serve foreign gods, he will turn himself, and he will afflict you, and he will overthrow you, after all the good that he has offered to you.”
егда оставите Господа и послужите богом чуждим, и пришед озлобит вас и потребит вас, вместо еже благо сотвори вам.
21 And the people said to Joshua, “By no means will it be as you are saying, but we will serve the Lord.”
И рекоша людие ко Иисусу: ни, но Господеви послужим.
22 And Joshua said to the people, “You yourselves are witnesses, that you have chosen the Lord so that you may serve him.” And they answered, “We are witnesses.”
И рече Иисус к людем: свидетели вы сами на ся, яко вы избрасте служити Господеви Самому. И рекоша: свидетели мы.
23 “Now therefore,” he said, “take away strange gods from among yourselves, and incline your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”
И ныне отвержите боги чуждыя, иже суть в вас, и исправите сердца ваша ко Господу Богу Израилеву.
24 And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God, and we will be obedient to his precepts.”
И рекоша людие ко Иисусу: Господеви Богу нашему послужим, и гласа Его послушаем.
25 Therefore, on that day, Joshua struck a covenant, and he set before the people at Shechem the precepts and the judgments.
И завеща Иисус завет к людем в день он, и даде им закон и суд в Сихеме, пред скиниею Господа Бога Израилева.
26 He also wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord. And he took a very great stone, and he stationed it under the oak that was in the Sanctuary of the Lord.
И вписа Иисус словеса сия в книгу закона Божия: и взя камень велий, и постави его под теревинфом, иже есть пред Господем.
27 And he said to all the people, “Lo, this stone shall be to you as a testimony, which has heard all the words of the Lord that he has spoken to you, lest perhaps, afterward, you might choose to deny it, and to lie to the Lord your God.”
И рече Иисус к людем: се, камень сей будет вам во свидение: яко сей слыша вся глаголголанная от Господа, елика глагола к вам днесь, и сей будет вам во свидение в последния дни, и егда солжете Господеви Богу вашему.
28 And he dismissed the people, each one to their own possession.
И отпусти Иисус люди, коегождо в места своя.
29 And after these things, Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
И послужи Израиль Господеви во вся дни Иисусовы и во вся дни старцев, иже препроводиша время со Иисусом и иже видеша вся дела Господня, елика сотвори Израилю.
30 And they buried him within the borders of his possession at Timnath-Serah, which is situated on mount Ephraim, before the northern side of mount Gaash.
И бысть по сих, и умре Иисус сын Навин раб Господень, (пожив) сто и десять лет.
31 And Israel served the Lord during all the days of Joshua, and of the elders who lived for a long time after Joshua, and who had known all the works of the Lord that he had accomplished in Israel.
И погребоша его в пределех жребия его во Фамнасахаре, в горе Ефремли, от севера горы Гаасовы, и положиша тамо с ним во гробе, в немже погребоша его, ножы каменныя, имиже обреза сыны Израилевы в Галгалех (Иисус), егда изведе их из Египта, якоже повеле Господь: и тамо суть даже до дне сего.
32 And the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel had brought from Egypt, they buried at Shechem, in a portion of the field that Jacob had purchased from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred young female sheep, and so it was in the possession of the sons of Joseph.
И кости Иосифовы изнесоша сынове Израилевы из Египта и закопаша их в Сихемех, в части села, еже притяжа Иаков от Аморрей живущих в Сихемех стом агниц, и даде ю Иосифу в часть.
33 Likewise, Eleazar, the son of Aaron, died. And they buried him at Gibeah, which belongs to Phinehas, his son, and which was given to him on mount Ephraim.
И бысть по сих, и Елеазар сын Ааронов архиерей скончася: и погребен бысть в Гаваафе Финееса сына своего, егоже даде ему в горе Ефремове.
