Josuas sista budskap till folket
(23:1—24:33)
23 Långt senare, när Herren hade låtit Israel få ro för alla sina fiender och när Josua blivit mycket gammal, 2 sammankallade Josua hela Israel tillsammans med de äldste, ledarna, domarna och förmännen och sa till dem: ”Jag är nu en gammal man. 3 Ni har själva sett allt som Herren, er Gud, har gjort med alla dessa folk för er skull. Han har kämpat för er. 4 Ni har sett hur jag har genom lottning delat ut åt era stammar som egendom både de kvarvarande folkens landområden och de utrotade folkens områden från floden Jordan till Medelhavet, 5 för Herren, er Gud, kommer att driva bort alla de folk som nu bor där. Ni ska erövra hela deras land precis som Herren, er Gud, har lovat.
6 Var nu starka! Se till att ni följer allt som står skrivet i Moses lagbok! Vik inte av från det åt något håll! 7 Beblanda er inte med de folk som fortfarande bor kvar i landet. Ni får inte vända er till deras gudar och svära vid dem eller tillbe och tjäna dem. 8 Följ istället Herren, er Gud, som ni hittills gjort! 9 Han har drivit undan stora och mäktiga folk för er och ingen har kunnat stå emot er. 10 Var och en av er kan få tusen fiender på flykten, för Herren, er Gud, strider för er, så som han har lovat. 11 Se därför till att ni fortsätter att älska Herren, er Gud!
12 Om ni vänder er bort och börjar beblanda er med andra folk som finns kvar hos er och gifter er med dem, 13 ska ni veta att Herren, er Gud, inte längre tänker driva bort dessa folk framför er. Istället kommer de att bli en snara och en fälla för er, en piska på er rygg och taggar i era ögon och ni kommer att utplånas från detta goda land som Herren, er Gud, har gett er.
14 Det är snart dags för mig att lämna den här världen och ni vet av hela ert hjärta och med hela er själ att inte ett ord har slagit fel av allt det goda som Herren, er Gud, lovat er. Alla Guds löften till er har gått i uppfyllelse. 15 Men lika säkert som att Herren, er Gud, har gett er allt gott han lovade, lika säkert kan han låta det onda drabba er, tills han utplånat er från detta goda land som han själv har gett er. 16 Om ni bryter Herrens, er Guds, förbund som han befallt er att hålla och tjänar och tillber andra gudar, kommer Herrens vrede mot er att bli fruktansvärd och han kommer snabbt att förgöra er från det goda land han har gett er.”

Josua förmanar folket
23 En lång tid härefter, när Herren hade gett Israel ro från alla sina fiender runt omkring och Josua var gammal och hade nått hög ålder, 2 (A) kallade han till sig hela Israel, dess äldste, huvudmän, domare och förmän och sade till dem:
”Jag är nu gammal och har nått hög ålder. 3 (B) Ni har själva sett allt som Herren er Gud har gjort för er skull med alla dessa folk, för Herren er Gud stred själv för er. 4 Genom lotten har jag fördelat åt era stammar till arvedel de folk som ännu finns kvar, likaså de folk jag har utrotat, från Jordan till Stora havet västerut. 5 (C) Och Herren er Gud ska själv driva undan dem för er och jaga bort dem från er, så att ni kan inta deras land så som Herren er Gud har lovat er.
6 (D) Var nu mycket starka, så att ni håller och följer allt som är föreskrivet i Mose lagbok. Vik inte av därifrån, vare sig åt höger eller åt vänster, 7 (E) och ha inte gemenskap med dessa folk som fortfarande finns kvar här hos er. Nämn inte heller deras gudars namn eller svär vid dem eller tjäna och tillbe dem. 8 Nej, håll er till Herren er Gud, så som ni har gjort ända till denna dag. 9 Herren har fördrivit stora och mäktiga folk för er, och ingen har kunnat stå er emot intill denna dag. 10 (F) En enda man bland er jagade tusen framför sig, för Herren er Gud stred själv för er, så som han hade lovat er. 11 (G) Var ständigt på er vakt så att ni älskar Herren er Gud. 12 För om ni vänder er bort och håller er till dem som är kvar av dessa folk här bland er och gifter in er med dem och har gemenskap med dem och de med er, 13 (H) då ska ni veta att Herren er Gud inte mer ska fördriva dessa folk för er. De ska då bli en snara och en fälla för er och ett gissel för era sidor och taggar i era ögon tills ni blir utrotade ur detta goda land som Herren er Gud har gett er.
14 (I) Se, jag lämnar nu denna världen, och ni vet av hela ert hjärta och hela er själ att inte ett ord har slagit fel av allt det goda som Herren er Gud har lovat angående er. Allt har gått i fullbordan för er, inget har slagit fel. 15 (J) Men liksom allt det goda som Herren er Gud lovade er har kommit er till del så ska Herren också låta allt det onda komma er till del tills han har utrotat er ur detta goda land som Herren er Gud har gett er. 16 (K) Om ni överträder Herren er Guds förbund, som han har upprättat med er, och går och tjänar andra gudar och tillber dem, då ska Herrens vrede upptändas mot er, och ni ska snabbt bli utrotade ur det goda land som han har gett er.”

Joshua 23
King James Version
23 And it came to pass a long time after that the Lord had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.
2 And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:
3 And ye have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the Lord your God is he that hath fought for you.
4 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.
5 And the Lord your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the Lord your God hath promised unto you.
6 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
7 That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:
8 But cleave unto the Lord your God, as ye have done unto this day.
9 For the Lord hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.
10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the Lord your God.
12 Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:
13 Know for a certainty that the Lord your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you.
14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.
15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the Lord your God promised you; so shall the Lord bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you.
16 When ye have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

Joshua’s Farewell Address
23 Now it came to pass, a long time after the Lord (A)had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua (B)was old, advanced in age. 2 And Joshua (C)called for all Israel, for their elders, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them:
“I am old, advanced in age. 3 You have seen all that the (D)Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the (E)Lord your God is He who has fought for you. 4 See, (F)I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea westward. 5 And the Lord your God (G)will expel them from before you and drive them out of your sight. So you shall possess their land, (H)as the Lord your God promised you. 6 (I)Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, (J)lest you turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left, 7 and lest you (K)go[a] among these nations, these who remain among you. You shall not (L)make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause anyone to (M)swear by them; you shall not (N)serve them nor bow down to them, 8 but you shall (O)hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day. 9 (P)For the Lord has [b]driven out from before you great and strong nations; but as for you, no one has been able to stand against you to this day. 10 (Q)One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the Lord your God is He who fights for you, (R)as He promised you. 11 (S)Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the Lord your God. 12 Or else, if indeed you do (T)go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations—these that remain among you—and (U)make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you, 13 know for certain that (V)the Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. (W)But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the Lord your God has given you.
14 “Behold, this day (X)I[c] am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that (Y)not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed. 15 (Z)Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you which the Lord your God promised you, so the Lord will bring upon you (AA)all harmful things, until He has destroyed you from this good land which the Lord your God has given you. 16 [d]When you have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed down to them, then the (AB)anger of the Lord will burn against you, and you shall perish quickly from the good land which He has given you.”

Joshua’s Farewell to the Leaders
23 After a long time had passed and the Lord had given Israel rest(A) from all their enemies around them, Joshua, by then a very old man,(B) 2 summoned all Israel—their elders,(C) leaders, judges and officials(D)—and said to them: “I am very old.(E) 3 You yourselves have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations for your sake; it was the Lord your God who fought for you.(F) 4 Remember how I have allotted(G) as an inheritance(H) for your tribes all the land of the nations that remain—the nations I conquered—between the Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea(I) in the west. 5 The Lord your God himself will push them out(J) for your sake. He will drive them out(K) before you, and you will take possession of their land, as the Lord your God promised you.(L)
6 “Be very strong; be careful to obey all that is written in the Book of the Law(M) of Moses, without turning aside(N) to the right or to the left.(O) 7 Do not associate with these nations that remain among you; do not invoke the names of their gods or swear(P) by them. You must not serve them or bow down(Q) to them. 8 But you are to hold fast to the Lord(R) your God, as you have until now.
9 “The Lord has driven out before you great and powerful nations;(S) to this day no one has been able to withstand you.(T) 10 One of you routs a thousand,(U) because the Lord your God fights for you,(V) just as he promised. 11 So be very careful(W) to love the Lord(X) your God.
12 “But if you turn away and ally yourselves with the survivors of these nations that remain among you and if you intermarry with them(Y) and associate with them,(Z) 13 then you may be sure that the Lord your God will no longer drive out(AA) these nations before you. Instead, they will become snares(AB) and traps for you, whips on your backs and thorns in your eyes,(AC) until you perish from this good land,(AD) which the Lord your God has given you.
14 “Now I am about to go the way of all the earth.(AE) You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise(AF) has been fulfilled; not one has failed.(AG) 15 But just as all the good things(AH) the Lord your God has promised you have come to you, so he will bring on you all the evil things(AI) he has threatened, until the Lord your God has destroyed you(AJ) from this good land he has given you.(AK) 16 If you violate the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land he has given you.(AL)”
