Yosua 1

1 Sesudah kematian Musa, hamba TUHAN itu, TUHAN berbicara kepada wakil Musa, yaitu Yosua anak Nun.

And it came to pass after the death of Moses, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Naue, the minister of Moses, saying,

2 TUHAN berkata, "Hamba-Ku Musa sudah mati. Maka sekarang baiklah engkau dan seluruh umat Israel bersiap-siap untuk menyeberangi Sungai Yordan, dan memasuki negeri yang Kuberikan kepada mereka.

Moses my servant is dead; now then arise, go over Jordan, you and all this people, into the land, which I give them.

3 Aku sudah mengatakan kepada Musa bahwa setiap wilayah yang kamu jejaki telah Kuberikan kepadamu, Yosua, dan kepada seluruh umat-Ku.

Every spot on which you shall tread I will give it to you, as I said to Moses.

4 Wilayahmu akan terbentang dari padang gurun di selatan sampai ke Pegunungan Libanon di utara dan dari Sungai Efrat yang besar itu di timur terus meliputi negeri bangsa Het sampai ke Laut Tengah di barat.

The wilderness and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and as far as the extremity of the sea; your costs shall be from the setting of the sun.

5 Seorang pun tak akan sanggup mengalahkan engkau, Yosua, seumur hidupmu. Sebab Aku akan selalu mendampingimu seperti dahulu Aku mendampingi Musa. Aku tidak akan meninggalkanmu.

Not a man shall stand against you all the days of your life; and as I was with Moses, so will I also be with you, and I will not fail you, or neglect you.

6 Hendaklah engkau yakin dan berani, sebab engkau akan memimpin bangsa ini sewaktu mereka menduduki negeri yang Kujanjikan kepada nenek moyang mereka.

Be strong and 'quit yourself like a man, for you shall divide the land to this people, which I sware to give to your fathers.

7 Hanya, hendaklah engkau sungguh-sungguh yakin dan berani. Engkau harus menjaga agar engkau mentaati seluruh hukum yang diberikan Musa hamba-Ku itu kepadamu, jangan kaulalaikan sedikit pun, maka kau akan berhasil.

Be strong, therefore, and quit yourself like a man, to observe and do as Moses my servant commanded you; and you shall not turn therefrom to the right hand or to the left, that you may be wise in whatever you may do.

8 Buku hukum itu harus selalu kaubacakan kepada umat-Ku. Pelajarilah buku itu siang dan malam, supaya selalu kau melaksanakan semua yang tertulis di dalamnya. Kalau kau melakukan semuanya itu, hidupmu akan makmur dan berhasil.

And the book of this law shall not depart out of your mouth, and you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may know how to do all the things that are written [in it]; then shall you prosper, and make your ways prosperous, and then shall you be wise.

9 Ingat, Aku sudah memerintahkan kepadamu supaya engkau sungguh-sungguh yakin dan berani! Janganlah engkau takut atau kurang bersemangat, sebab Aku TUHAN Allahmu mendampingi engkau ke mana saja engkau pergi."

Behold! I have commanded you; be strong and courageous, be not cowardly nor fearful, for the Lord your God is with you in all places whither you go.

10 Maka Yosua memerintahkan pemimpin-pemimpin umat Israel

And Joshua commanded the scribes of the people, saying,

11 supaya berkeliling ke seluruh perkemahan umat Israel dan memberi perintah ini, "Siapkan bekal, karena tiga hari lagi kalian harus menyeberangi Sungai Yordan untuk menduduki negeri yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu."

Go into the midst of the camp of the people, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for yet three days and you shall go over this Jordan, entering in to take possession of the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives to you.

12 Kepada suku Ruben, suku Gad, dan separuh suku Manasye, Yosua berkata,

And to Ruben, and to Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse, Joshua said,

13 "Ingat! Musa hamba TUHAN itu sudah mengatakan kepadamu bahwa tanah di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan ini diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu untuk menjadi negerimu.

Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, the Lord your God has caused you to rest, and has given you this land.

14 Semua anak istrimu dan ternakmu boleh tinggal di sini, tetapi para pejuangmu harus siap bertempur dan mendahului orang-orang Israel lainnya menyeberangi Sungai Yordan.

Let your wives and your children and your cattle dwell in the land, which he has given you; and you shall go over well armed before your brethren, every one of you who is strong; and you shall fight on their side;

15 Kalian harus menolong mereka sampai mereka menduduki tanah di sebelah barat Sungai Yordan ini yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepada mereka. Sesudah TUHAN memberikan keamanan kepada seluruh bangsa Israel, barulah kalian boleh kembali ke tanahmu sendiri di sebelah timur Yordan ini, yang diberikan Musa hamba TUHAN itu kepadamu."

until the Lord your God shall have given your brethren rest, as also to you, and they also shall have inherited the land, which the Lord your God gives them; then you shall depart each one to his inheritance, which Moses gave you beyond Jordan eastward.

16 Maka suku Ruben, Gad, dan separuh suku Manasye itu menjawab, "Apa saja yang kauperintahkan kepada kami, kami akan lakukan, dan ke mana pun kausuruh kami pergi, kami akan pergi.

And they answered Joshua and said, We will do all things which you command us, and we will go to every place whither you shall send us.

17 Kami akan taat kepadamu, sama seperti kami juga selalu taat kepada Musa. Semoga TUHAN Allahmu mendampingimu seperti Ia mendampingi Musa!

Whereinsoever we listened to Moses we will listen to you; only let the Lord our God be with you, as he was with Moses.

18 Setiap orang yang tidak mau tunduk kepada kekuasaanmu, atau tidak menurut perintahmu, akan dihukum mati. Hendaklah engkau yakin dan berani!"

And whoever shall disobey you, and whoever shall not listen to your words as you shall command him, let him die; but be you strong and courageous.
