¹And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.

¹Ja Issanda ingel tuli Gilgalist üles Bokimisse ning ütles: 'Ma olen teid toonud Egiptusest ja viinud maale, mille ma vandega tõotasin anda teie vanemaile; ja ma ütlesin: Mina ei tee ilmaski tühjaks oma lepingut teiega.

²And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?

²Te ei tohi teha lepingut selle maa elanikega: te peate nende altarid maha kiskuma! Aga te ei ole kuulanud mu häält. Mis te olete teinud!

³Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

³Seepärast ma ütlen: Mina ei aja neid ära teie eest, vaid nad saavad teile püüniseks ja nende jumalad saavad teile püüdepaelaks.'

⁴And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

⁴Ja kui Issanda ingel oli rääkinud need sõnad kõigile Iisraeli lastele, siis rahvas tõstis häält ja nuttis.

⁵And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.

⁵Ja nad nimetasid selle paiga Bokimiks ning ohverdasid seal Issandale.

⁶And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.

⁶Kui Joosua oli saatnud rahva minema, siis Iisraeli lapsed läksid igaüks oma pärisosale, võtma maad oma valdusesse.

⁷And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.

⁷Ja rahvas teenis Issandat kogu Joosua eluaja ja kogu vanemate eluaja, kes elasid veel pärast Joosuat, kes olid näinud kõiki Issanda suuri tegusid, mis ta Iisraelile oli teinud.

⁸And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

⁸Siis Joosua, Nuuni poeg, Issanda sulane, suri saja kümne aasta vanuses.

⁹And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.

⁹Ta maeti oma pärisosa maa-alale Timnat-Heresisse Efraimi mäestikus põhja pool Gaasi mäge.

¹⁰And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

¹⁰Ja kui ka kogu see sugupõlv oli koristatud oma vanemate juurde, tõusis pärast neid teine sugupõlv, kes ei tundnud Issandat ega ka mitte neid tegusid, mis ta Iisraelile oli teinud.

¹¹And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:

¹¹Ja Iisraeli lapsed tegid kurja Issanda silmis ning teenisid baale

¹²And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

¹²ja jätsid maha Issanda, oma vanemate Jumala, kes oli nad ära toonud Egiptusemaalt, ja käisid teiste jumalate järel nende rahvaste jumalate hulgast, kes olid neil ümberkaudu, ja kummardasid neid ning vihastasid Issandat.

¹³And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

¹³Aga kui nad Issanda maha jätsid ja teenisid Baali ja Astartet,

¹⁴And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

¹⁴siis Issanda viha süttis põlema Iisraeli vastu ja ta andis nad riisujate kätte, kes neid riisusid, ja müüs nad nende ümberkaudsete vaenlaste kätte, ja nad ei suutnud enam seista oma vaenlaste ees.

¹⁵Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

¹⁵Kuhu nad iganes läksid, seal oli Issanda käsi nende vastu õnnetust tuues, nõnda nagu Issand oli öelnud ja nõnda nagu Issand neile oli vandunud; ja neil oli väga kitsas käes.

¹⁶Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

¹⁶Siis Issand laskis tõusta kohtumõistjaid, kes päästsid nad nende riisujate käest.

¹⁷And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.

¹⁷Aga nad ei kuulanud ka oma kohtumõistjaid, vaid käisid hoora viisil teiste jumalate järel ja kummardasid neid. Peagi lahkusid nad teelt, mida nende vanemad olid käinud Issanda käske kuulda võttes - nemad ei teinud nõnda.

¹⁸And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.

¹⁸Kui siis Issand tõstis neile kohtumõistjaid, oli Issand kohtumõistjaga ja päästis nad nende vaenlaste käest kogu kohtumõistja eluajaks, sest Issandal oli kaastunnet nende ägamise pärast rõhujate ja kallaletungijate käes.

¹⁹And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

¹⁹Aga kui kohtumõistja suri, siis nad pöördusid tagasi ja talitasid veel kõlvatumalt kui nende vanemad, käies teiste jumalate järel neid teenides ja neid kummardades; nad ei jätnud midagi maha oma kurjadest tegudest ega kangekaelsuse viisidest.

²⁰And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

²⁰Siis Issanda viha süttis põlema Iisraeli vastu ja ta ütles: 'Et see rahvas on rikkunud mu lepingut, mille ma tegin nende vanematega, ega kuula mu häält,

²¹I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

²¹siis ka mina ei aja enam nende eest ära ühtegi neist rahvaist, keda Joosua surres alles jättis,

²²That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

²²et nende läbi Iisraeli katsuda: kas nad tahavad hoida Issanda teed, käies sellel, nagu nende vanemad seda hoidsid, või mitte.'

²³Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

²³Ja Issand jättis alles need rahvad, ei ajanud neid kohe ära ega andnud neid ka Joosua kätte.
