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.

¹And the Angel of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you; and as for you,

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!

²ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not hearkened unto my voice. Why have ye done this?

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

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

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

⁴And it came to pass, when the Angel of Jehovah spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice and wept.

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

⁵And they called the name of that place Bochim; and they sacrificed there to Jehovah.

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

⁶And Joshua dismissed the people, and the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.

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.

⁷And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders whose days were prolonged after Joshua, who had seen all the great works of Jehovah, which he had done for Israel.

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

⁸And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, a hundred and ten years old.

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

⁹And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-Heres, in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the mountain of Gaash.

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.

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

¹¹Ja Iisraeli lapsed tegid kurja Issanda silmis ning teenisid baale

¹¹And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baals.

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.

¹²And they forsook Jehovah the God of their fathers, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked Jehovah to anger.

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

¹³And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.

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.

¹⁴And the anger of Jehovah 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; and they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

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.

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

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

¹⁶And Jehovah raised up judges, and they saved them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

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.

¹⁷But they did not even hearken to their judges, for they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves to them; they turned quickly out of the way that their fathers had walked in, obeying the commandments of Jehovah; they did not so.

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.

¹⁸And when Jehovah raised them up judges, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repented Jehovah because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and crushed them.

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.

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

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,

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

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

²¹I also will not henceforth dispossess from before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died;

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

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

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

²³Therefore Jehovah left those nations, without dispossessing them hastily, neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
