# 书-Jos 23 ## 书23:1 耶和华使以色列人安静，不与四围的一切仇敌争战，已经多日。约书亚年纪老迈， Jos 23:1 “A long time afterward, when the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their surrounding enemies, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,” ## 书23:2 就把以色列众人的长老、族长、审判官并官长，都召了来，对他们说：“我年纪已经老迈。 Jos 23:2 “Joshua summoned all Israel, its elders and heads, its judges and officers, and said to them, “I am now old and well advanced in years.” ## 书23:3 耶和华你们的神，因你们的缘故，向那些国所行的一切事，你们亲眼看见了；因那为你们争战的，是耶和华你们的神。 Jos 23:3 “And you have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations for your sake, for it is the LORD your God who has fought for you.” ## 书23:4 我所剪除和所剩下的各国，从约但河起到日落之处的大海，我已经拈阄分给你们各支派为业。 Jos 23:4 “Behold, I have allotted to you as an inheritance for your tribes those nations that remain, along with all the nations that I have already cut off, from the Jordan to the Great Sea in the west.” ## 书23:5 耶和华你们的神必将他们从你们面前赶出去，使他们离开你们，你们就必得他们的地为业，正如耶和华你们的神所应许的。 Jos 23:5 “The LORD your God will push them back before you and drive them out of your sight. And you shall possess their land, just as the LORD your God promised you.” ## 书23:6 所以你们要大大壮胆，谨守遵行写在摩西律法书上的一切话，不可偏离左右。 Jos 23:6 “Therefore, be very strong to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, turning aside from it neither to the right hand nor to the left,” ## 书23:7 不可与你们中间所剩下的这些国民搀杂。他们的神，你们不可提他的名，不可指着他起誓，也不可事奉、叩拜； Jos 23:7 “that you may not mix with these nations remaining among you or make mention of the names of their gods or swear by them or serve them or bow down to them,” ## 书23:8 只要照着你们到今日所行的，专靠耶和华你们的神。 Jos 23:8 but you shall cling to the LORD your God just as you have done to this day. ## 书23:9 因为耶和华已经把又大又强的国民，从你们面前赶出；直到今日，没有一人在你们面前站立得住。 Jos 23:9 “For the LORD has driven out before you great and strong nations. And as for you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day.” ## 书23:10 你们一人必追赶千人，因耶和华你们的神照他所应许的，为你们争战。 Jos 23:10 “One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the LORD your God who fights for you, just as he promised you.” ## 书23:11 你们要分外谨慎，爱耶和华你们的神。 Jos 23:11 “Be very careful, therefore, to love the LORD your God.” ## 书23:12 你们若稍微转去，与你们中间所剩下的这些国民联络，彼此结亲，互相往来； Jos 23:12 “For if you turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations remaining among you and make marriages with them, so that you associate with them and they with you,” ## 书23:13 你们要确实知道，耶和华你们的神，必不再将他们从你们眼前赶出；他们却要成为你们的网罗，机槛，肋上的鞭，眼中的刺，直到你们在耶和华你们神所赐的这美地上灭亡。 Jos 23:13 “know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations before you, but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground that the LORD your God has given you.” ## 书23:14 “我现在要走世人必走的路，你们是一心一意地知道，耶和华你们神所应许赐福与你们的话，没有一句落空，都应验在你们身上了。 Jos 23:14 “And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed.” ## 书23:15 耶和华你们神所应许的一切福气，怎样临到你们身上，耶和华也必照样使各样祸患临到你们身上，直到把你们从耶和华你们神所赐的这美地上除灭。 Jos 23:15 “But just as all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you, so the LORD will bring upon you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land that the LORD your God has given you,” ## 书23:16 你们若违背耶和华你们神吩咐你们所守的约，去事奉别神，叩拜他，耶和华的怒气，必向你们发作，使你们在他所赐的美地上，速速灭亡。” Jos 23:16 “if you transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them. Then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land that he has given to you.”
