¹Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. that Yahweh spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ servant, saying,

¹Ja pärast Issanda sulase Moosese surma kõneles Issand Nuuni poja Joosuaga, Moosese teenriga, öeldes:

²“Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I give to them, even to the children of Israel.

²'Mooses, mu sulane, on surnud. Ja nüüd võta kätte, mine üle Jordani, sina ja kogu see rahvas, maale, mille ma annan neile, Iisraeli lastele!

³I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.

³Kõik paigad, kuhu teie jalatald astub, annan ma teile, nagu ma Moosesele olen öelnud:

⁴From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.

⁴kõrbest ja siit Liibanonist kuni suure jõeni, Frati jõeni, kogu hettide maa kuni suure mereni päikeseloojaku pool saagu teie maa-alaks.

⁵No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.

⁵Ükski ei suuda sulle vastu panna kogu su eluajal; nõnda nagu ma olin Moosesega, nõnda ma olen sinuga, ma ei lahku sinust ega jäta sind maha.

⁶“Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

⁶Ole vahva ja tugev, sest sina pead andma sellele rahvale pärisosaks maa, mille ma vandega nende vanemaile tõotasin anda neile!

⁷Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you. Don’t turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.

⁷Ole ainult vahva ja hästi tugev, tehes hoolsasti kogu Seaduse järgi, mille mu sulane Mooses sulle andis; ära kaldu sellest ei paremale ega vasakule, et sa võiksid teha targasti kõikjal, kuhu sa lähed!

⁸This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

⁸Ärgu lahkugu see Seaduse raamat sinu suust, vaid mõtle sellele päeval ja öösel, et sa peaksid hoolsasti kõike, mis sinna on kirjutatud, sest siis õnnestub su teekond ja siis on sul kordaminek!

⁹Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed: for Yahweh your God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” is with you wherever you go.”

⁹Eks ole mina sind käskinud: Ole vahva ja tugev! Ära kohku ja ära karda, sest Issand, su Jumal, on sinuga kõikjal, kuhu sa lähed!'

¹⁰Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

¹⁰Ja Joosua andis käsu rahva ülevaatajaile, öeldes:

¹¹“Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh your God gives you to possess it.’”

¹¹'Käige leer läbi ja andke rahvale käsk, öeldes: Valmistage enestele teemoona, sest kolme päeva pärast te lähete üle Jordani, et minna vallutama maad, mille Issand, teie Jumal, annab teile pärida!'

¹²Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,

¹²Aga ruubenlastele, gaadlastele ja Manasse poolele suguharule rääkis Joosua, öeldes:

¹³“Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, ‘Yahweh your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.

¹³'Tuletage meelde käsku, mille Issanda sulane Mooses teile andis, öeldes: Issand, teie Jumal, lubab teile rahu ja annab teile selle maa.

¹⁴Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them

¹⁴Teie naised, väetid lapsed ja karjad jäägu maale, mille Mooses teile on andnud siinpool Jordanit. Aga teie ise, kõik võitlusvõimelised, peate võitlusvalmilt minema üle jõe oma vendade eel ja aitama neid,

¹⁵until Yahweh has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which Yahweh your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.’”

¹⁵kuni Issand on andnud rahu teie vendadele nagu teilegi ja nemadki on pärinud maa, mille Issand neile annab; seejärel võite minna tagasi oma pärusmaale ja pärida, mis Issanda sulane Mooses teile on andnud siinpool Jordanit, päikesetõusu pool!'

¹⁶They answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

¹⁶Ja nad vastasid Joosuale, öeldes: 'Me teeme kõik, mida sa meid käsid, ja läheme igale poole, kuhu sa meid läkitad.

¹⁷Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may Yahweh your God be with you, as he was with Moses.

¹⁷Nagu me kõiges kuulasime Moosest, nõnda tahame kuulata sind! Olgu ainult Issand, su Jumal, sinuga, nagu ta oli Moosesega!

¹⁸Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn’t listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”

¹⁸Igaüks, kes paneb vastu su käsule ega kuula sinu sõnu kõiges, mida sa meid käsid teha, surmatagu! Ole ainult vahva ja tugev!'
