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)”

Conquista del paese di Canaan(A)(B)
Giosuè scelto come successore di Mosè
1 (C)Dopo la morte di Mosè, servo del Signore, il Signore parlò a Giosuè, figlio di Nun, servo di Mosè, e gli disse: 2 «Mosè, mio servo, è morto. Àlzati dunque, attraversa questo Giordano, tu con tutto questo popolo, per entrare nel paese che io do ai figli d’Israele. 3 Ogni luogo che la pianta del vostro piede calcherà, io ve lo do, come ho detto a Mosè, 4 dal deserto e dal Libano che vedi là sino al gran fiume, il fiume Eufrate, tutto il paese degli Ittiti sino al mar Grande, verso occidente: quello sarà il vostro territorio. 5 Nessuno potrà resistere di fronte a te tutti i giorni della tua vita; come sono stato con Mosè, così sarò con te; io non ti lascerò e non ti abbandonerò[a]. 6 Sii forte e coraggioso, perché tu metterai questo popolo in possesso del paese che giurai ai loro padri di dar loro. 7 Solo sii molto forte e coraggioso; abbi cura di mettere in pratica tutta la legge che Mosè, mio servo, ti ha data; non te ne sviare né a destra né a sinistra, affinché tu prosperi dovunque andrai. 8 Questo libro della legge non si allontani mai dalla tua bocca, ma meditalo, giorno e notte; abbi cura di mettere in pratica tutto ciò che vi è scritto; poiché allora riuscirai in tutte le tue imprese, allora prospererai. 9 Non te l’ho io comandato? Sii forte e coraggioso; non ti spaventare e non ti sgomentare, perché il Signore, il tuo Dio, sarà con te dovunque andrai».
10 (D)Allora Giosuè diede quest’ordine agli ufficiali del popolo: 11 «Passate per l’accampamento e date quest’ordine al popolo: “Preparatevi dei viveri, perché fra tre giorni oltrepasserete questo Giordano per andare a conquistare il paese che il Signore, il vostro Dio, vi dà perché lo possediate”».
12 Giosuè parlò pure ai Rubeniti, ai Gaditi e alla mezza tribù di Manasse, e disse loro: 13 «Ricordatevi dell’ordine che Mosè, servo del Signore, vi diede quando vi disse: “Il Signore, il vostro Dio, vi ha concesso riposo e vi ha dato questo paese”. 14 Le vostre mogli, i vostri bambini e il vostro bestiame rimarranno nel paese che Mosè vi ha dato di qua dal Giordano; ma voi tutti che siete forti e valorosi passerete in armi alla testa dei vostri fratelli e li aiuterete, 15 finché il Signore abbia concesso riposo ai vostri fratelli come a voi, e siano anch’essi in possesso del paese che il Signore, il vostro Dio, dà loro. Poi ritornerete al paese di vostra proprietà, che Mosè, servo del Signore, vi ha dato di qua dal Giordano verso il levante, e ne prenderete possesso».
16 E quelli risposero a Giosuè e dissero: «Noi faremo tutto quello che ci hai comandato, e andremo dovunque ci manderai. 17 Ti ubbidiremo interamente, come abbiamo ubbidito a Mosè. Solamente, sia con te il Signore, il tuo Dio, com’è stato con Mosè! 18 Chiunque sarà ribelle ai tuoi ordini e non ubbidirà alle tue parole, qualunque sia l’ordine che gli darai, sarà messo a morte. Solo, sii forte e coraggioso!»

God Commissions Joshua
1 After the death of Moses the (A)servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' (B)assistant, 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. 3 (C)Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised 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 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. Just (F)as I was with Moses, so (G)I will be with you. (H)I will not leave you or forsake you. 6 (I)Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and (J)very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law (K)that Moses my servant commanded you. (L)Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success[a] wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but (M)you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful 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 Have I not commanded you? (N)Be strong and courageous. (O)Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua Assumes Command
10 And Joshua commanded the (P)officers of the people, 11 “Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for (Q)within three days (R)you are to pass over this Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’”
12 And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh Joshua said, 13 “Remember the word that (S)Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is providing you a place of rest and will give you this land.’ 14 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but all the men of valor among you shall pass over armed before your brothers and shall help them, 15 (T)until the Lord gives rest to your brothers as he has to you, and they also take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving them. (U)Then you shall return to the land of your possession and shall possess it, the land that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.”
16 And they answered Joshua, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. 17 Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God (V)be with you, as he was with Moses! 18 Whoever rebels against your commandment and disobeys your words, whatever you command him, shall be put to death. (W)Only be strong and courageous.”
