Yosua 1
1 Sesudah kematian Musa, hamba TUHAN itu, berbicaralah TUHAN kepada Yosua anak Nun. Yosua adalah tangan kanan Musa. Kata TUHAN kepadanya,
After Moses, who served Yahweh [well], died, Yahweh said to Nun’s son Joshua, who had been Moses’ assistant,
2 “Hamba-Ku Musa sudah meninggal. Karena itu, sekarang bersiaplah dan pimpinlah bangsa Israel menyeberangi sungai Yordan ke negeri yang Aku berikan kepada mereka.
“[You know that] my servant Moses is [now] dead. So now get ready to lead all these [Israeli] people across the Jordan [River]. Enter the land that I will soon give to you.
3 Tetapi seperti janji-Ku kepada Musa, ‘Setiap tempat yang kalian injak sudah Aku berikan kepada kalian.
I will give to you all the land that you walk on, as I promised Moses.
4 Wilayah kalian akan terbentang dari daerah pegunungan Libanon di utara sampai ke padang belantara di selatan, juga dari sungai Efrat di timur laut, termasuk seluruh tanah orang Het, hingga ke Laut Tengah di barat.’
That land will extend from the desert [in the south], to the Lebanon [Mountains in the northwest], and to the big Euphrates River [in the northeast], and to the Mediterranean Sea on the west. [It will include] all the land where the descendants of Heth [live].
5 Yosua, selama kamu hidup, tidak akan ada yang bisa bertahan melawanmu. Aku akan menyertaimu seperti Aku menyertai Musa. Aku tidak akan pernah mengabaikanmu ataupun meninggalkanmu.
No group will be able to oppose [and defeat] you during your life. I will help you as I helped Moses. I will always be with [LIT] you; I will never forsake you.
6 “Kamu harus kuat dan berani karena kamulah yang akan memimpin bangsa ini untuk menduduki dan memiliki negeri yang sudah Aku janjikan kepada nenek moyang kalian.
“Be strong and courageous, because you are the one who will lead these Israeli people [and enable them] to possess the land that I solemnly promised to their ancestors that I would give them.
7 Hanya, pastikan kamu harus benar-benar tegar dan berani. Taatilah seluruh hukum Taurat yang sudah diberikan hamba-Ku Musa kepadamu. Jangan menyimpang dari semua itu supaya kamu berhasil dalam segala langkahmu.
Just be strong and very courageous. Be sure to obey all the laws that my servant Moses gave to you. In order that you may be successful wherever you go, do not stop obeying any of them [IDM].
8 Ajarkanlah hukum-hukum dalam kitab Taurat ini kepada bangsa ini. Renungkanlah itu siang dan malam supaya kamu bertindak hati-hati sesuai dengan yang tertulis di dalamnya. Dengan begitu, kamu akan sangat berhasil.
Make sure to habitually read [to the people some of] the laws [that God gave Moses]. Meditate on those laws [every] day and [every] night. And be sure to obey all those laws. If you do that, you will be successful in everything that you do [DOU].
9 Sekali lagi Aku tegaskan: Kamu harus kuat dan berani! Jangan takut ataupun patah semangat, karena Aku, TUHAN Allahmu, menyertai ke mana pun kamu pergi.”
Do not forget [RHQ] that I have commanded you to be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, and do not be discouraged, because I, Yahweh, your God, will (be with/help) you wherever you go.”
10 Lalu Yosua memerintahkan para pemimpin bangsa Israel,
Then Joshua commanded the leaders of the people of Israel,
11 “Berkelilinglah ke seluruh perkemahan dan perintahkanlah semua orang untuk menyiapkan persediaan makanan, karena besok lusa kita akan menyeberangi sungai Yordan untuk mulai merebut dan menduduki negeri yang sudah diberikan TUHAN Allah menjadi milik kita.”
“Go throughout the camp and tell the people this: ‘Prepare all the food that you will take with you, because the day after tomorrow you will cross this Jordan [River], in order to possess the land that Yahweh, our God, is about to give you.’”
12 Kepada ketiga suku yang sudah memiliki daerah mereka, yaitu suku Ruben, Gad, dan separuh suku Manasye, Yosua berkata,
But to the [clans that were] descendants of Reuben and Gad, and to the half clan [that were descendants] of Manasseh, Joshua said,
13 “Ingatlah perkataan Musa, hamba TUHAN itu, ketika dia menyuruh kalian menduduki bagian negeri ini di sebelah timur sungai Yordan. Dia berkata, ‘Inilah negeri yang TUHAN Allahmu berikan kepada kalian, sebagai tempat untuk kalian dapat hidup dengan tenang.
“Do not forget what Moses, the servant of Yahweh, commanded you: ‘Yahweh, your God, has given you this land in order that you can [live here] safely/peacefully.’
14 Anak-istri dan ternak kalian boleh tinggal di sini, di negeri yang sudah diberikan Musa di sebelah timur sungai Yordan. Tetapi pasukan kalian harus memimpin suku-suku lainnya menyeberangi sungai Yordan dengan bersenjata lengkap dan membantu mereka berperang,
Your wives and your children and your livestock may stay [here] in this land on the east side of the Jordan [River], but all your soldiers must cross [the river], ahead of the people of the other tribes. They must take all their weapons with them. You must continue to help your fellow Israelis
15 sampai mereka memiliki negeri yang TUHAN berikan kepada mereka dan hidup dengan tenang sama seperti kalian. Barulah setelah itu kalian boleh kembali ke tanahmu sendiri, yang sudah diberikan Musa kepadamu di sebelah timur sungai Yordan.’”
until they are able to live there safely/peacefully, as Yahweh has enabled you to do. You must help them until after they have conquered all the people in the land that Yahweh, your God, is giving them. After that, your soldiers may return to live in this land that Moses gave to you here on the east side of the Jordan [River].”
16 Jawab mereka kepada Yosua, “Semua yang engkau perintahkan akan kami laksanakan, dan ke mana pun engkau mengutus kami, kami akan pergi.
The people answered Joshua, “We will do everything that you have commanded us to do, and we will go wherever you tell us to go.
17 Kami akan taat kepadamu sama seperti kami taat kepada Musa. Semoga TUHAN Allah kita menyertaimu sama seperti Dia menyertai Musa.
As we obeyed all that Moses told us to do, we will obey all that you tell us to do. We pray that Yahweh will (be with/help) you as he (was with/helped) Moses.
18 Setiap orang yang melawan engkau dan tidak menaati perintahmu biarlah dihukum mati. Yang terpenting, engkau harus kuat dan berani!”
Anyone who (rejects what you say/opposes you) and does not obey what you command [DOU], we will execute. But we want you to be strong and courageous!”
