¹Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.

¹Ja Mooses läks ning rääkis kõik need sõnad kogu Iisraelile.

²He said to them, “I am one hundred twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: and Yahweh has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’

²Ja ta ütles neile: 'Mina olen nüüd sada kakskümmend aastat vana, ma ei jaksa enam minna ega tulla; ja Issand on mulle öelnud: 'Sina ei lähe üle Jordani.'

³Yahweh your God, he will go over before you; he will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua shall go over before you, as Yahweh has spoken.

³Issand, su Jumal, läheb ise üle su ees, tema hävitab need rahvad su eest ja sina vallutad nad. Joosua, tema läheb üle su ees, nõnda nagu Issand on öelnud.

⁴Yahweh will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.

⁴Ja Issand talitab nendega, nagu ta talitas Siihoni ja Oogiga, emorlaste kuningatega, ja nende maaga, kelle ta hävitas.

⁵Yahweh will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.

⁵Issand annab nad teie kätte; talitage nendega kogu seaduse kohaselt, mille ma teile olen andnud!

⁶Be strong and courageous, don’t be afraid, nor be scared of them: for Yahweh your God, he it is who does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.”

⁶Olge vahvad ja tugevad, ärge kartke ja ärge tundke hirmu nende ees, sest Issand, su Jumal, käib ise koos sinuga, tema ei lahku sinust ega jäta sind maha!'

⁷Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous: for you shall go with this people into the land which Yahweh has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.

⁷Ja Mooses kutsus Joosua ning ütles temale kogu Iisraeli silma ees: 'Ole vahva ja tugev, sest sina pead viima selle rahva maale, mille Issand vandega nende vanemaile on tõotanud neile anda, ja sina pead andma selle neile pärisosaks!

⁸Yahweh, he it is who does go before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you, neither forsake you: don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed.”

⁸Ja Issand ise käib su ees, tema on sinuga, tema ei lahku sinust ega jäta sind maha. Ära karda ega kohku!'

⁹Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and to all the elders of Israel.

⁹Ja Mooses pani kirja selle Seaduse ning andis preestritele, Leevi poegadele, kes kandsid seaduselaegast, ja kõigile Iisraeli vanemaile.

¹⁰Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of tents,

¹⁰Ja Mooses käskis neid, öeldes: 'Igal seitsmendal aastal, vabastusaastal, seatud ajal, lehtmajadepühal,

¹¹when all Israel has come to appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

¹¹kui kogu Iisrael tuleb, et ilmuda Issanda, su Jumala ette paika, mille ta on valinud, loe seda Seadust kogu Iisraeli ees nende kuuldes!

¹²Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and your foreigner who is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Yahweh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law;

¹²Kogu kokku rahvas, mehed ja naised ja lapsed, ka võõrad, kes on su väravais, et nad kuuleksid ja õpiksid ning kardaksid Issandat, teie Jumalat, ja teeksid hoolsasti selle Seaduse kõigi sõnade järgi,

¹³and that their children, who have not known, may hear, and learn to fear Yahweh your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”

¹³ja et nende lapsed, kes seda veel ei tunne, kuuleksid ja õpiksid kartma Issandat, teie Jumalat, kogu aja, mis te elate maal, kuhu te lähete üle Jordani, et seda pärida.'

¹⁴Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.

¹⁴Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Vaata, see aeg ligineb, mil sa pead surema. Kutsu Joosua ja astuge kogudusetelki, siis ma annan temale kohustuse!' Siis Mooses läks koos Joosuaga, ja nad astusid kogudusetelki.

¹⁵Yahweh appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud: and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent.

¹⁵Ja Issand ilmutas ennast telgis pilvesambas, ja pilvesammas seisis telgi ukse kohal.

¹⁶Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

¹⁶Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Vaata, sa lähed magama oma vanemate juurde, aga see rahvas võtab kätte ja käib hoorates võõraste jumalate järel sellel maal, kuhu ta nüüd jõuab; ta jätab mind maha ja tühistab mu lepingu, mille ma temaga olen teinud.

¹⁷Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’

¹⁷Sel ajal süttib mu viha põlema tema vastu ja ma jätan ta maha ning peidan oma palge tema eest ja teda hävitatakse ning teda tabab palju õnnetusi ja ahastusi. Sel ajal ta ütleb: 'Eks ole need õnnetused mind tabanud selle pärast, et mu Jumal ei ole minu keskel?'

¹⁸I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they shall have worked, in that they are turned to other gods.

¹⁸Aga sel ajal peidan ma oma palge täiesti kõige selle kurja pärast, mis ta on teinud, pöördudes teiste jumalate poole.

¹⁹“Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

¹⁹Ja nüüd kirjutage endile üles see laul! Õpeta seda Iisraeli lastele ja pane see neile suhu, et see laul oleks mulle tunnistajaks Iisraeli laste vastu!

²⁰For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.

²⁰Sest ma tahan neid viia sellele maale, mille ma nende vanemaile vandega tõotasin, mis piima ja mett voolab. Nad söövad, nende kõhud saavad täis ja nad rasvuvad, aga nad pöörduvad teiste jumalate poole ja teenivad neid, nad põlgavad mind ja tühistavad minu lepingu.

²¹It shall happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.”

²¹Kui neid tabavad suured õnnetused ja ahastused, siis kõneleb see laul tunnistajana nende vastu, sest see ei tohi ununeda nende järglaste suust, sellepärast et ma tunnen nende mõtteid, mis nad nüüd mõlgutavad, enne kui ma viin nad maale, mille ma vandega olen tõotanud neile anda.'

²²So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.

²²Ja Mooses kirjutas sel päeval üles selle laulu ning õpetas seda Iisraeli lastele.

²³He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with you.”

²³Ja Issand andis käsu Joosuale, Nuuni pojale, ning ütles: 'Ole vahva ja tugev, sest sina pead viima Iisraeli lapsed sellele maale, mille ma vandega olen tõotanud neile anda, ja mina olen sinuga!'

²⁴It happened, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

²⁴Ja kui Mooses oli raamatusse täielikult üles kirjutanud selle Seaduse sõnad algusest lõpuni,

²⁵that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying,

²⁵siis käskis Mooses leviite, kes kandsid seaduselaegast, öeldes:

²⁶“Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.

²⁶'Võtke see Seaduse raamat ja pange ta Issanda, oma Jumala seaduselaeka kõrvale, et see oleks seal tunnistajaks sinu vastu,

²⁷For I know your rebellion, and your stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against Yahweh; and how much more after my death?

²⁷sest ma tunnen sinu vastupanu ja kangekaelsust. Vaata nüüd, mil ma veel elan koos teiega, olete te olnud Issandale vastupanijad, saati siis pärast minu surma!

²⁸Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.

²⁸Koguge minu juurde kõik oma suguharude vanemad ja ülevaatajad, siis ma räägin nende kuuldes need sõnad ja võtan tunnistajaiks nende vastu taeva ja maa!

²⁹For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days; because you will do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”

²⁹Sest ma tean, et te pärast minu surma käitute väga kõlvatult ja lahkute teelt, mille ma teile olen andnud. Aga tulevasil päevil tabab teid õnnetus, kui te teete, mis kuri on Issanda silmis, pahandades teda oma kätetööga.'

³⁰Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.

³⁰Ja Mooses rääkis kogu Iisraeli koguduse kuuldes selle laulu sõnad algusest lõpuni:
