Второзаконие 31
New Russian Translation
Иисус – преемник Моисея
31 Моисей пошел и сказал всему Израилю такие слова:
2 – Мне уже сто двадцать лет, и я не могу больше вести вас. Господь сказал мне: «Ты не перейдешь через Иордан». 3 Господь, твой Бог, Сам перейдет перед тобой. Он истребит эти народы перед тобой, и ты завладеешь их землей. Иисус также перейдет перед тобой, как сказал Господь. 4 И Господь сделает с этими народами то же, что Он сделал с Сигоном и Огом, царями аморреев, которых Он погубил вместе с их землей. 5 Господь отдаст их вам, и вы должны сделать с ними все, что я повелел тебе. 6 Будьте крепки и отважны. Не бойтесь и не страшитесь их, потому что Господь, твой Бог, идет с тобой; Он никогда тебя не оставит и не покинет.
7 Затем Моисей призвал Иисуса и сказал ему в присутствии всего Израиля:
– Будь крепок и отважен, потому что ты должен идти с этим народом в землю, которую Господь клялся дать его отцам, и должен разделить ее им в наследие. 8 Господь Сам пойдет перед тобой и будет с тобой; Он никогда тебя не оставит и не покинет. Не бойся и не будь малодушным.
Чтение Закона
9 Моисей записал этот Закон и дал его священникам, сыновьям Левия, которые носили ковчег завета Господа, и всем старейшинам Израиля. 10 Затем Моисей повелел им:
– Раз в семь лет, в год прощения долгов, на празднике Шалашей, 11 когда Израиль приходит, чтобы предстать перед Господом, твоим Богом, на место, которое Он выберет, читай этот Закон вслух перед всем Израилем. 12 Собери народ – мужчин, женщин и детей, и чужеземцев, живущих в твоих городах, чтобы они слушали и учились бояться Господа, вашего Бога, и прилежно следовать всем словам этого Закона. 13 Их дети, которые не знают этого Закона, должны слушать его и учиться бояться Господа, вашего Бога, все время, пока вы будете жить на земле, куда вы переходите за Иордан, чтобы завладеть ею.
Предсказание о мятеже Израиля
14 Господь сказал Моисею:
– День твоей смерти близок. Позови Иисуса, встаньте у шатра собрания, и там Я дам ему наставления.
Моисей и Иисус пришли и встали у шатра собрания. 15 Тогда Господь явился у шатра собрания в облачном столбе, и облако встало над входом в скинию. 16 Господь сказал Моисею:
– Скоро ты отойдешь к своим отцам, а этот народ станет предаваться разврату, следуя чужим богам той земли, куда он входит. Он оставит Меня и нарушит завет, который Я с ним заключил. 17 В тот день Я разгневаюсь на него и оставлю их; Я скрою от них Свое лицо, и он будет уничтожен. Множество бедствий и тягот постигнет его, и в тот день он спросит: «Не потому ли постигли меня эти бедствия, что мой Бог не со мной?» 18 Я же непременно скрою Свое лицо в тот день из-за всего нечестия, которое он совершит, обратившись к другим богам.
19 Итак, запишите себе эту песню, и научи ей израильтян и прикажи им петь ее, чтобы она была свидетельством за Меня против них. 20 Когда Я приведу их в землю, где течет молоко и мед, землю, которую Я с клятвой обещал их отцам, и когда они будут есть досыта и разжиреют, они обратятся к другим богам и станут служить им, отвергая Меня и нарушая Мой завет. 21 И когда множество бедствий и тягот постигнут их, эта песня будет свидетельствовать против них, потому что их потомки ее не забудут. Я знаю, к чему они расположены уже сейчас, еще до того, как Я ввел их в землю, о которой клялся им.
22 В тот день Моисей записал эту песню и научил ей израильтян. 23 Господь дал Иисусу, сыну Навину, такое повеление:
– Будь крепок и отважен, потому что ты введешь израильтян в землю, которую Я с клятвой обещал им, и Сам Я буду с тобой.
24 Записав в свиток слова этого Закона от начала до конца, 25 Моисей дал левитам, которые носили ковчег завета Господа, такое повеление:
26 – Возьмите этот свиток Закона и положите его рядом с ковчегом завета Господа, вашего Бога. Свиток будет находиться там как свидетельство против тебя. 27 Я ведь знаю, как ты мятежен и упрям. Если вы мятежны перед Господом, пока я еще жив и с вами, то что же будет после моей смерти! 28 Соберите ко мне всех старейшин ваших родов и всех ваших начальников, чтобы я мог сказать им вслух эти слова и призвать небо и землю свидетельствовать против них. 29 Я ведь знаю, что после моей смерти вы непременно развратитесь и свернете с пути, держаться которого я вам повелел. В будущем вас постигнет бедствие, потому что вы будете делать зло в глазах Господа и разгневаете Его делами своих рук.
Песня Моисея
30 Моисей произнес слова этой песни от начала до конца вслух всего народа Израиля:
Deuteronomy 31
King James Version
31 And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
2 And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the Lord hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
3 The Lord thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath said.
4 And the Lord shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.
5 And the Lord shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.
6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
8 And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
9 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and unto all the elders of Israel.
10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
11 When all Israel is come to appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
12 Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
13 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the Lord your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.
15 And the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?
18 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.
19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
23 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
25 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,
26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the Lord; and how much more after my death?
28 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.
29 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
Deuteronomy 31
English Standard Version
Joshua to Succeed Moses
31 So Moses continued to speak these words to all Israel. 2 And he said to them, “I am (A)120 years old today. I am no longer able to (B)go out and come in. The Lord has said to me, (C)‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’ 3 The Lord your God (D)himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations before you, so that you shall dispossess them, and Joshua will go over at your head, (E)as the Lord has spoken. 4 And the Lord will do to them (F)as he did to Sihon (G)and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when he destroyed them. 5 And the Lord will give them over to you, and you shall do to them (H)according to the whole commandment that I have commanded you. 6 (I)Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, (J)for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. (K)He will not leave you or forsake you.”
7 Then (L)Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, (M)“Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land that the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall put them in possession of it. 8 It is the Lord (N)who goes before you. He will be with you; (O)he will not leave you or forsake you. (P)Do not fear or be dismayed.”
The Reading of the Law
9 Then Moses (Q)wrote this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, (R)who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel. 10 And Moses commanded them, (S)“At the end of every seven years, at the set time in the year of release, at (T)the Feast of Booths, 11 when all Israel comes (U)to appear before the Lord your God at the place that he will choose, (V)you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12 (W)Assemble the people, men, women, and little ones, and the sojourner within your towns, that they may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God, and be careful to do all the words of this law, 13 and that their children, (X)who have not known it, (Y)may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God, (Z)as long as you live in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”
Joshua Commissioned to Lead Israel
14 And the Lord said to Moses, (AA)“Behold, the days approach when you must die. Call Joshua and present yourselves in the tent of meeting, that (AB)I may commission him.” And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tent of meeting. 15 And (AC)the Lord appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud. And the pillar of cloud stood over the entrance of the tent.
16 And the Lord said to Moses, (AD)“Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers. Then this people will rise and (AE)whore after the foreign gods among them in the land that they are entering, and they will (AF)forsake me and (AG)break my covenant that I have made with them. 17 Then my anger will be kindled against them in that day, and (AH)I will forsake them and (AI)hide my face from them, and they will be devoured. And many evils and troubles will come upon them, so that they will say in that day, (AJ)‘Have not these evils come upon us because (AK)our God is not among us?’ 18 And I will surely hide my face in that day because of all the evil that they have done, because (AL)they have turned to other gods.
19 “Now therefore write (AM)this song and (AN)teach it to the people of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be (AO)a witness for me against the people of Israel. 20 For when I have brought them into the land (AP)flowing with milk and honey, which I swore to give to their fathers, and they have eaten and are full and (AQ)grown fat, (AR)they will turn to other gods and serve them, and (AS)despise me and (AT)break my covenant. 21 And when many evils and troubles have come upon them, this song shall confront them as (AU)a witness (for it will live unforgotten in the mouths of their offspring). For (AV)I know what they are inclined to do even today, before I have brought them into the land that I swore to give.” 22 So Moses wrote this song the same day and taught it to the people of Israel.
23 (AW)And the Lord[a] commissioned Joshua the son of Nun and said, (AX)“Be strong and courageous, for you shall bring the people of Israel into the land that I swore to give them. (AY)I will be with you.”
24 When Moses had finished (AZ)writing the words of this law in a book to the very end, 25 Moses commanded (BA)the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 26 “Take this Book of the Law (BB)and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for (BC)a witness against you. 27 For I know how rebellious and (BD)stubborn you are. Behold, even today while I am yet alive with you, (BE)you have been rebellious against the Lord. How much more after my death! 28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak (BF)these words in their ears and (BG)call heaven and earth to witness against them. 29 For I know that after my death (BH)you will surely act corruptly and turn aside from the way that I have commanded you. And (BI)in the days to come (BJ)evil will befall you, because you will do what is evil in the sight of the Lord, (BK)provoking him to anger through the work of your hands.”
The Song of Moses
30 Then Moses spoke the words of this song until they were finished, in the ears of all the assembly of Israel:
