Joshua 23

KJV

1  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ a long⁷²²⁷ time^{4480 3117} after³¹⁰ that⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had given rest⁵¹¹⁷ unto Israel³⁴⁷⁸ from all^{4480 3605} their enemies³⁴¹ round about,^{4480 5439} that Joshua³⁰⁹¹ waxed old²²⁰⁴ and stricken⁹³⁵ in age.³¹¹⁷

2  And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ called⁷¹²¹ for all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and for their elders,²²⁰⁵ and for their heads,⁷²¹⁸ and for their judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ and for their officers,⁷⁸⁶⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, I⁵⁸⁹ am old²²⁰⁴ and stricken⁹³⁵ in age:³¹¹⁷

3  And ye⁸⁵⁹ have seen^{7200 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ hath done⁶²¹³ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ nations¹⁴⁷¹ because^{4480 6440} of you; for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ is he¹⁹³¹ that hath fought³⁸⁹⁸ for you.

4  Behold,⁷²⁰⁰ I have divided unto you by lot^{5307 853} these⁴²⁸ nations¹⁴⁷¹ that remain,⁷⁶⁰⁴ to be an inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ for your tribes,⁷⁶²⁶ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ Jordan,³³⁸³ with all³⁶⁰⁵ the nations¹⁴⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ I have cut off,³⁷⁷² even unto the great¹⁴¹⁹ sea³²²⁰ westward.^{3996 8121}

5  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ he¹⁹³¹ shall expel¹⁹²⁰ them from before^{4480 6440} you, and drive³⁴²³ them from out of your sight;^{4480 6440} and ye shall possess^{3423 853} their land,⁷⁷⁶ as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ hath promised¹⁶⁹⁶ unto you.

6  Be ye therefore very³⁹⁶⁶ courageous²³⁸⁸ to keep⁸¹⁰⁴ and to do^{6213 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ that is written³⁷⁸⁹ in the book⁵⁶¹² of the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² that ye turn⁵⁴⁹³ not¹¹¹⁵ aside⁵⁴⁹³ therefrom⁴⁴⁸⁰ to the right hand³²²⁵ or to the left;⁸⁰⁴⁰

7  That ye come⁹³⁵ not¹¹¹⁵ among these⁴²⁸ nations,¹⁴⁷¹ these⁴²⁸ that remain⁷⁶⁰⁴ among you; neither³⁸⁰⁸ make mention²¹⁴² of the name⁸⁰³⁴ of their gods,⁴³⁰ nor³⁸⁰⁸ cause to swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ by them, neither³⁸⁰⁸ serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ them, nor³⁸⁰⁸ bow yourselves⁷⁸¹² unto them:

8  But^{3588 518} cleave¹⁶⁹² unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ as⁸³⁴ ye have done⁶²¹³ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

9  For the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath driven out³⁴²³ from before^{4480 6440} you great¹⁴¹⁹ nations¹⁴⁷¹ and strong:⁶⁰⁹⁹ but as for you,⁸⁵⁹ no³⁸⁰⁸ man³⁷⁶ hath been able to stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

10  One²⁵⁹ man³⁷⁶ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ you shall chase⁷²⁹¹ a thousand:⁵⁰⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ he¹⁹³¹ it is that fighteth³⁸⁹⁸ for you, as⁸³⁴ he hath promised¹⁶⁹⁶ you.

11  Take good³⁹⁶⁶ heed⁸¹⁰⁴ therefore unto yourselves,⁵³¹⁵ that ye love^{157 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God.⁴³⁰

12  Else³⁵⁸⁸ if⁵¹⁸ ye do in any wise go back,^{7725 7725} and cleave¹⁶⁹² unto the remnant³⁴⁹⁹ of these⁴²⁸ nations,¹⁴⁷¹ even these⁴²⁸ that remain⁷⁶⁰⁴ among⁸⁵⁴ you, and shall make marriages²⁸⁵⁹ with them, and go in⁹³⁵ unto them, and they¹⁹⁹² to you:

13  Know for a certainty^{3045 3045} that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ will no³⁸⁰⁸ more³²⁵⁴ drive out³⁴²³ any of ⁸⁵³ these⁴²⁸ nations¹⁴⁷¹ from before^{4480 6440} you; but they shall be¹⁹⁶¹ snares⁶³⁴¹ and traps⁴¹⁷⁰ unto you, and scourges⁷⁸⁵⁰ in your sides,⁶⁶⁵⁴ and thorns⁶⁹⁷⁶ in your eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ ye perish⁶ from off^{4480 5921} this²⁰⁶³ good²⁸⁹⁶ land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ you.

14  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ this day³¹¹⁷ I⁵⁹⁵ am going¹⁹⁸⁰ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of all³⁶⁰⁵ the earth:⁷⁷⁶ and ye know³⁰⁴⁵ in all³⁶⁰⁵ your hearts³⁸²⁴ and in all³⁶⁰⁵ your souls,⁵³¹⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ not³⁸⁰⁸ one²⁵⁹ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ hath failed⁵³⁰⁷ of all^{4480 3605} the good²⁸⁹⁶ things¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ concerning⁵⁹²¹ you; all³⁶⁰⁵ are come to pass⁹³⁵ unto you, and not³⁸⁰⁸ one²⁵⁹ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ hath failed⁵³⁰⁷ thereof.⁴⁴⁸⁰

15  Therefore it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that as⁸³⁴ all³⁶⁰⁵ good²⁸⁹⁶ things¹⁶⁹⁷ are come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ you, which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ promised^{1696 413} you; so³⁶⁵¹ shall the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ bring⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ you ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ things,¹⁶⁹⁷ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ he have destroyed⁸⁰⁴⁵ you from off^{4480 5921} this²⁰⁶³ good²⁸⁹⁶ land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ you.

16  When ye have transgressed^{5674 853} the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ he commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ you, and have gone¹⁹⁸⁰ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and bowed yourselves⁷⁸¹² to them; then shall the anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be kindled²⁷³⁴ against you, and ye shall perish⁶ quickly⁴¹²⁰ from off^{4480 5921} the good²⁸⁹⁶ land⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ he hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto you.

1 καὶ ἐγένετο μεθ᾽ ἡμέρας πλείους μετὰ τὸ καταπαῦσαι κύριον τὸν Ισραηλ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν κυκλόθεν καὶ Ἰησοῦς πρεσβύτερος προβεβηκὼς ταῖς ἡμέραις

2 καὶ συνεκάλεσεν Ἰησοῦς πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ καὶ τὴν γερουσίαν αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς γραμματεῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς δικαστὰς αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς ἐγὼ γεγήρακα καὶ προβέβηκα ταῖς ἡμέραις

3 ὑμεῖς δὲ ἑωράκατε ὅσα ἐποίησεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν τούτοις ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν ὅτι κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ὁ ἐκπολεμήσας ὑμῖν

4 ἴδετε ὅτι ἐπέρριφα ὑμῖν τὰ ἔθνη τὰ καταλελειμμένα ὑμῖν ταῦτα ἐν τοῖς κλήροις εἰς τὰς φυλὰς ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ Ιορδάνου πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἃ ἐξωλέθρευσα καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης ὁριεῖ ἐπὶ δυσμὰς ἡλίου

5 κύριος δὲ ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν οὗτος ἐξολεθρεύσει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν ἕως ἂν ἀπόλωνται καὶ ἀποστελεῖ αὐτοῖς τὰ θηρία τὰ ἄγρια ἕως ἂν ἐξολεθρεύσῃ αὐτοὺς καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν καὶ κατακληρονομήσατε τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν καθὰ ἐλάλησεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ὑμῖν

6 κατισχύσατε οὖν σφόδρα φυλάσσειν καὶ ποιεῖν πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου Μωυσῆ ἵνα μὴ ἐκκλίνητε εἰς δεξιὰν ἢ εὐώνυμα

7 ὅπως μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὰ ἔθνη τὰ καταλελειμμένα ταῦτα καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν θεῶν αὐτῶν οὐκ ὀνομασθήσεται ἐν ὑμῖν οὐδὲ μὴ προσκυνήσητε αὐτοῖς οὐδὲ μὴ λατρεύσητε αὐτοῖς

8 ἀλλὰ κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ὑμῶν προσκολληθήσεσθε καθάπερ ἐποιήσατε ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

9 καὶ ἐξωλέθρευσεν αὐτοὺς κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν ἔθνη μεγάλα καὶ ἰσχυρά καὶ ὑμῖν οὐθεὶς ἀντέστη κατενώπιον ὑμῶν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

10 εἷς ὑμῶν ἐδίωξεν χιλίους ὅτι κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ἐξεπολέμει ὑμῖν καθάπερ εἶπεν ὑμῖν

11 καὶ φυλάξασθε σφόδρα τοῦ ἀγαπᾶν κύριον τὸν θεὸν ὑμῶν

12 ἐὰν γὰρ ἀποστραφῆτε καὶ προσθῆσθε τοῖς ὑπολειφθεῖσιν ἔθνεσιν τούτοις τοῖς μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν καὶ ἐπιγαμίας ποιήσητε πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ συγκαταμιγῆτε αὐτοῖς καὶ αὐτοὶ ὑμῖν

13 γινώσκετε ὅτι οὐ μὴ προσθῇ κύριος τοῦ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι τὰ ἔθνη ταῦτα ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν καὶ ἔσονται ὑμῖν εἰς παγίδας καὶ εἰς σκάνδαλα καὶ εἰς ἥλους ἐν ταῖς πτέρναις ὑμῶν καὶ εἰς βολίδας ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν ἕως ἂν ἀπόλησθε ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς τῆς ἀγαθῆς ταύτης ἣν ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν

14 ἐγὼ δὲ ἀποτρέχω τὴν ὁδὸν καθὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ γνώσεσθε τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν καὶ τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν διότι οὐ διέπεσεν εἷς λόγος ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν λόγων ὧν εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν πρὸς πάντα τὰ ἀνήκοντα ὑμῖν οὐ διεφώνησεν ἐξ αὐτῶν

15 καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ἥκει ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τὰ καλά ἃ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς ὑμᾶς οὕτως ἐπάξει κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τὰ πονηρά ἕως ἂν ἐξολεθρεύσῃ ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς τῆς ἀγαθῆς ταύτης ἧς ἔδωκεν κύριος ὑμῖν

16 ἐν τῷ παραβῆναι ὑμᾶς τὴν διαθήκην κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἣν ἐνετείλατο ὑμῖν καὶ πορευθέντες λατρεύσητε θεοῖς ἑτέροις καὶ προσκυνήσητε αὐτοῖς

1 Evoluto autem multo tempore, postquam pacem dederat Dominus Israëli, subjectis in gyro nationibus universis, et Josue jam longævo, et persenilis ætatis,

2 vocavit Josue omnem Israëlem, majoresque natu, et principes ac duces, et magistros, dixitque ad eos: Ego senui, et progressioris ætatis sum:

3 vosque cernitis omnia, quæ fecerit Dominus Deus vester cunctis per circuitum nationibus, quomodo pro vobis ipse pugnaverit:

4 et nunc quia vobis sorte divisit omnem terram, ab orientali parte Jordanis usque ad mare magnum, multæque adhuc supersunt nationes:

5 Dominus Deus vester disperdet eas et auferet a facie vestra, et possidebitis terram, sicut vobis pollicitus est.

6 Tantum confortamini, et estote solliciti, ut custodiatis cuncta quæ scripta sunt in volumine legis Moysi: et non declinetis ab eis neque ad dexteram neque ad sinistram:

7 ne postquam intraveritis ad gentes quæ inter vos futuræ sunt, juretis in nomine deorum earum, et serviatis eis, et adoretis illos:

8 sed adhæreatis Domino Deo vestro: quod fecistis usque in diem hanc.

9 Et tunc auferet Dominus Deus in conspectu vestro gentes magnas et robustissimas, et nullus vobis resistere poterit.

10 Unus e vobis persequetur hostium mille viros: quia Dominus Deus vester pro vobis ipse pugnabit, sicut pollicitus est.

11 Hoc tantum diligentissime præcavete: ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum.

12 Quod si volueritis gentium harum, quæ inter vos habitant, erroribus adhærere, et cum eis miscere connubia, atque amicitias copulare:

13 jam nunc scitote quod Dominus Deus vester non eas deleat ante faciem vestram, sed sint vobis in foveam ac laqueum, et offendiculum ex latere vestro, et sudes in oculis vestris, donec vos auferat atque disperdat de terra hac optima, quam tradidit vobis.

14 En ego hodie ingredior viam universæ terræ, et toto animo cognoscetis quod de omnibus verbis, quæ se Dominus præstiturum vobis esse pollicitus est, unum non præterierit incassum.

15 Sicut ergo implevit opere quod promisit, et prospera cuncta venerunt: sic adducet super vos quidquid malorum comminatus est, donec vos auferat atque disperdat de terra hac optima, quam tradidit vobis,

16 eo quod præterieritis pactum Domini Dei vestri, quod pepigit vobiscum, et servieritis diis alienis, ad adoraveritis eos: cito atque velociter consurget in vos furor Domini, et auferemini ab hac terra optima, quam tradidit vobis.
