约书亚记 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶和華勉勵約書亞
1 耶和華的僕人摩西死了以後,耶和華吩咐摩西的侍從,嫩的兒子約書亞,說: 2 “我的僕人摩西死了;現在你要起來,和全體人民過這約旦河,到我現在要賜給他們以色列人的地去。 3 你們腳掌踏過的每一處地方,我都照著我應許摩西的賜給你們了。 4 從曠野和這黎巴嫩,直到大河,就是幼發拉底河,赫人的全地,以至大海日落的地方,就是你們的疆界。 5 你一生的日子必沒有一人能在你面前立得住;我怎樣與摩西同在,也必照樣與你同在;我決不離開你,也不離棄你。 6 你要堅強勇敢,因為你必使這人民得著我曾經向他們列祖起誓,要賜給他們的那地作產業。 7 你只要堅強,十分勇敢,謹守遵行我僕人摩西吩咐你的一切律法,不可偏離左右,好使你無論到哪裡去,都可以亨通。 8 這律法書不可離開你的口,要晝夜默誦,好使你謹守遵行書中所記的一切;這樣,你的道路就必順利,你必一路亨通。 9 我不是吩咐過你要堅強勇敢嗎?所以,你不要懼怕,也不要驚慌;因為你無論到哪裡去,耶和華你的 神必與你同在。”
約書亞首次向民眾下令
10 於是約書亞吩咐人民的官長說: 11 “你們要走遍營中,吩咐人民說:‘你們要預備糧食,因為三天之內,你們要過這約旦河,進去得耶和華你們的 神要賜給你們作產業的地。’”
12 約書亞又對流本人、迦得人和瑪拿西半個支派的人說: 13 “你們要記住耶和華的僕人摩西吩咐你們的話:‘耶和華你們的 神賜你們安息,他必把這地賜給你們。’ 14 你們的妻子、孩子和牲畜,都可以留在約旦河東邊、摩西賜給你們的地上;但你們所有英勇的戰士,都要拿起武器,在你們的兄弟前面過河去,幫助他們; 15 等到耶和華使你們的兄弟可以和你們一樣安居,同樣得著耶和華你們的 神要賜給他們作產業的地,你們才可以回到你們所得的地,以它作你們的產業,就是耶和華的僕人摩西在約旦河東邊日出之地賜給你們的地方。” 16 他們回答約書亞,說:“你吩咐我們的一切,我們都必遵行;無論你差派我們到哪裡去,我們都一定去。 17 我們從前怎樣凡事聽從摩西,現在也必照樣聽從你;唯願耶和華你的 神與你同在,像與摩西同在一樣。 18 無論誰違背你的話,不聽從你吩咐他的一切命令,那人必要處死。你只管堅強勇敢。”
Joshua 1
New King James Version
God’s Commission to Joshua
1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ (A)assistant, saying: 2 (B)“Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. 3 (C)Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. 4 (D)From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. 5 (E)No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; (F)as I was with Moses, so (G)I will be with you. (H)I will not leave you nor forsake you. 6 (I)Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall [a]divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law (J)which Moses My servant commanded you; (K)do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may [b]prosper wherever you go. 8 (L)This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but (M)you[c] shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 (N)Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; (O)do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
The Order to Cross the Jordan
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 11 “Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare provisions for yourselves, for (P)within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’ ”
12 And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh Joshua spoke, saying, 13 “Remember (Q)the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land.’ 14 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall [d]pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them, 15 until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving them. (R)Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”
16 So they answered Joshua, saying, “All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. 17 Just as we heeded Moses in all things, so we will heed you. Only the Lord your God (S)be with you, as He was with Moses. 18 Whoever rebels against your command and does not heed your words, in all that you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage.”

New International Version
Joshua Installed as Leader
1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord,(A) the Lord said to Joshua(B) son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River(C) into the land(D) I am about to give to them(E)—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot,(F) as I promised Moses.(G) 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon,(H) and from the great river, the Euphrates(I)—all the Hittite(J) country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.(K) 5 No one will be able to stand against you(L) all the days of your life. As I was with(M) Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake(N) you. 6 Be strong(O) and courageous,(P) because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors(Q) to give them.
7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey(R) all the law(S) my servant Moses(T) gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left,(U) that you may be successful wherever you go.(V) 8 Keep this Book of the Law(W) always on your lips;(X) meditate(Y) on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.(Z) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;(AA) do not be discouraged,(AB) for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”(AC)
10 So Joshua ordered the officers of the people:(AD) 11 “Go through the camp(AE) and tell the people, ‘Get your provisions(AF) ready. Three days(AG) from now you will cross the Jordan(AH) here to go in and take possession(AI) of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.’”
12 But to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,(AJ) Joshua said, 13 “Remember the command that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you after he said, ‘The Lord your God will give you rest(AK) by giving you this land.’ 14 Your wives,(AL) your children and your livestock may stay in the land(AM) that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, ready for battle,(AN) must cross over ahead of your fellow Israelites.(AO) You are to help them 15 until the Lord gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land the Lord your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”(AP)
16 Then they answered Joshua, “Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.(AQ) 17 Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you.(AR) Only may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses. 18 Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey(AS) it, whatever you may command them, will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous!(AT)”
