Yosua 1
1 Sesudah kematian Musa, hamba TUHAN itu, TUHAN berbicara kepada wakil Musa, yaitu Yosua anak Nun.
Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, 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 therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Aku sudah mengatakan kepada Musa bahwa setiap wilayah yang kamu jejaki telah Kuberikan kepadamu, Yosua, dan kepada seluruh umat-Ku.
I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told 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.
From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Perath, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
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.
No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake 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 of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
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.
Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
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.
This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
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."
Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
10 Maka Yosua memerintahkan pemimpin-pemimpin umat Israel
Then Joshua commanded the officers 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."
"Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, 'Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.'"
12 Kepada suku Ruben, suku Gad, dan separuh suku Manasye, Yosua berkata,
Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,
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 gives you rest, and will give 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.
Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them
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 has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.'"
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.
They answered Joshua, saying, "All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
17 Kami akan taat kepadamu, sama seperti kami juga selalu taat kepada Musa. Semoga TUHAN Allahmu mendampingimu seperti Ia mendampingi Musa!
Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may the LORD your 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!"
Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn't listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage."
