Joshua 24:15-28 But if it is not pleasing to you to serve to the lord, choose to yourselves today whom you should serve! whether to the gods of your fathers, to the ones on the other side of the river, or whether to the gods of the Amorites, in which you dwell upon their land. But I and my house, will serve to the lord!

15 G1490 But if it is not G700 pleasing G1473 to you G3000 to serve G3588 to the G2962 lord, G1586 choose G1473 to G1473 yourselves G4594 today G5100 whom G3000 you should serve! G1535 whether G3588 to the G2316 gods G3588 G3962 of your fathers, G1473 G3588 to the ones G1722 on G3588 the G4008 other side G3588 of the G4215 river, G1535 or whether G3588 to the G2316 gods G3588 of the G* Amorites, G1722 in G3739 which G1473 you G2730 dwell G1909 upon G3588 G1093 their land. G1473 G1473 But I G1161 G2532 and G3588 G3624 my house, G1473 G3000 will serve G3588 to the G2962 lord!

16 G2532 And G611 responding G3588 the G2992 people G2036 said, G3361 May it not be G1096 G1473 to us G2641 to leave G3588 the G2962 lord G5620 so as G3000 to serve G2316 [²gods G2087 ¹other].

17 G2962 The lord G3588 G2316 our God, G1473 G1473 he G321 led G1473 us G2532 and G3588 G3962 our fathers G1473 G1537 from out of G1093 the land G* of Egypt, G1537 from G3624 the house G1397 of slavery, G2532 and G3745 as many as G4160 [³he did G1473 ⁴to us G3588 G4592 ²signs G3588 G3173 ¹these great], G3778 G2532 and G1314 guarded G1473 us G1722 in G3956 all G3588 the G3598 way G3739 which G4198 we went G1722 by G1473 it, G2532 and G1722 among G3956 all G3588 the G1484 nations G3739 which G3928 we went G1223 through G1473 them.

18 G2532 And G1544 the lord cast out G2962 G4840.2 all G3588 the G1484 nations, G2532 and G3588 the G* Amorite G3588 G2730 dwelling G3588 in the G1093 land, G575 from G4383 our face. G1473 G235 But G2532 also G1473 we G3000 will serve G3588 to the G2962 lord, G3778 for this one G1063 G1510.2.3 is G3588 G2316 our God. G1473

19 G2532 And G2036 Joshua said G3588 G* G4314 to G3956 all G3588 the G2992 people, G3766.2 In no way G1410 shall you be able G3000 to serve G3588 to the G2962 lord G3754 (for G39 he is holy, G1510.2.3 G2532 and G2316 God G2207 is jealous, G1510.2.3 G3778 this one G3756 shall not G447 spare G3588 G457.2 your violations of the law, G1473 G2532 and G3588 G265 your sins) G1473

20 G2259 when G302 ever G1459 you should abandon G2962 the lord, G2532 and G3000 should serve G2316 [²gods G245 ¹alien]. G2532 And G1904 coming G2559 he shall afflict G1473 you, G2532 and G1814.4 shall completely consume G1473 you, G446.2 because G2095 [²good G4160 ¹he did] G1473 to you.

21 G2532 And G2036 [³said G3588 ¹the G2992 ²people] G4314 to G* Joshua, G3780 No, G235 but G2962 to the lord G3000 we shall serve.

22 G2532 And G2036 Joshua said G* G4314 to G3588 the G2992 people, G3144 You are witnesses G1473 G2596 according to G1473 yourselves G3754 that G1586 [³chose G1473 ¹you G1438 ²yourselves] G3588 the G2962 lord, G3000 to serve G1473 him. G2532 And G2036 they said, G3144 We are witnesses.

23 G2532 And G3568 now, G4014 remove G3588 the G2316 [²gods G3588 G245 ¹alien], G3588 the ones G1722 among G1473 you, G2532 and G2116 straighten G3588 the G2588 heart G4314 to G2962 the lord G2316 God G* of Israel!

24 G2532 And G2036 [³said G3588 ¹the G2992 ²people] G4314 to G* Joshua, G2962 To the lord G3588 G2316 our God G1473 G3000 we shall serve, G2532 and G3588 G5456 of his voice G1473 G191 we shall hearken.

25 G2532 And G1303 Joshua ordained G* G1242 a covenant G4314 with G3588 the G2992 people G1722 in G3588 G2250 that day. G1565 G2532 And G1325 he gave G1473 to them G3551 the law G2532 and G2920 judgment G1722 in G* Shechem.

26 G2532 And G1125 Joshua wrote G* G3588 G4487 these things G3778 G1519 in G975 a scroll G3551 of the law G3588 G2316 of God. G2532 And G2983 [²took G3037 ⁴stone G3173 ³a great G2532 ⁵and G2476 ⁶set G1473 ⁷it G* ¹Joshua] G1563 there G5259 under G3588 the G5059.2 terebinth tree G3588 G561 before G2962 the lord .

27 G2532 And G2036 Joshua said G* G4314 to G3956 all G3588 the G2992 people, G2400 Behold, G3588 G3037 this stone G3778 G1510.8.3 will be G1473 to you G1519 for G3142 a testimony; G3754 for G1473 it G191 has heard G3956 all G3588 the G3004 things being said G5259 by G2962 the lord, G3745 as much as G2980 he spoke G4314 to G1473 you G4594 today. G2532 And G3778 this G1510.8.3 will be G1722 in G1473 you G1519 for G3142 a testimony G1909 unto G2078 the last G3588 of the G2250 days, G2259 when G302 ever G5574 you should lie G2962 to the lord G3588 G2316 your God. G1473

28 G2532 And G649 Joshua sent G* G3588 the G2992 people G1538 each G1519 to G3588 G5117 his place. G1473

15 H7489 [H8804] And if it seemeth evil H4310 to you H5647 [H8800] to serve H3068 the LORD, H977 [H8798] choose H3117 for yourselves this day H5869 whom H5647 [H8799] ye will serve; H430 whether the gods H1 which your fathers H5647 [H8804] served H5676 that were on the other side H5104 of the river, H430 or the gods H567 of the Amorites, H776 in whose land H3427 [H8802] ye dwell: H1004 but as for me and my house, H5647 [H8799] we will serve H3068 the LORD.

16 H5971 And the people H6030 [H8799] answered H559 [H8799] and said, H2486 Be it far from us H5800 [H8800] that we should forsake H3068 the LORD, H5647 [H8800] to serve H312 other H430 gods;

17 H3068 For the LORD H430 our God, H5927 [H8688] he it is that brought us H1 and our fathers H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt, H1004 from the house H5650 of bondage, H6213 [H8804] and who did H1419 those great H226 signs H5869 in our eyes, H8104 [H8799] and preserved H1870 us in all the way H1980 [H8804] in which we went, H5971 and among all the people H7130 through H5674 [H8804] whom we passed:

18 H3068 And the LORD H1644 [H8762] drove out H6440 from the face of H5971 us all the people, H567 even the Amorites H3427 [H8802] who dwelt H776 in the land: H5647 [H8799] therefore will we also serve H3068 the LORD; H430 for he is our God.

19 H3091 And Joshua H559 [H8799] said H5971 to the people, H3201 [H8799] Ye cannot H5647 [H8800] serve H3068 the LORD: H6918 for he is an holy H430 God; H7072 he is a jealous H410 God; H5375 [H8799] he will not forgive H6588 your revolts H2403 nor your sins.

20 H5800 [H8799] If ye forsake H3068 the LORD, H5647 [H8804] and serve H5236 foreign H430 gods, H7725 [H8804] then he will turn H7489 [H8689] and do you harm, H3615 [H8765] and consume H310 you, after H3190 [H8689] that he hath done you good.

21 H5971 And the people H559 [H8799] said H3091 to Joshua, H5647 [H8799] Nay; but we will serve H3068 the LORD.

22 H3091 And Joshua H559 [H8799] said H5971 to the people, H5707 Ye are witnesses H977 [H8804] against yourselves that ye have chosen H3068 you the LORD, H5647 [H8800] to serve H559 [H8799] him. And they said, H5707 We are witnesses.

23 H5493 [H8685] Now therefore put away, H5236 said he, the foreign H430 gods H7130 which are among H5186 [H8685] you, and incline H3824 your heart H3068 to the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel.

24 H5971 And the people H559 [H8799] said H3091 to Joshua, H3068 The LORD H430 our God H5647 [H8799] will we serve, H6963 and his voice H8085 [H8799] will we obey.

25 H3091 So Joshua H3772 [H8799] made H1285 a testament H5971 with the people H3117 that day, H7760 [H8799] and set H2706 them a statute H4941 and a judgment H7927 in Shechem.

26 H3091 And Joshua H3789 [H8799] wrote H1697 these words H5612 in the book H8451 of the law H430 of God, H3947 [H8799] and took H1419 a great H68 stone, H6965 [H8686] and set it up H427 there under an oak, H4720 that was by the sanctuary H3068 of the LORD.

27 H3091 And Joshua H559 [H8799] said H5971 to all the people, H68 Behold, this stone H5713 shall be a witness H8085 [H8804] to us; for it hath heard H561 all the words H3068 of the LORD H1696 [H8765] which he spoke H5713 to us: it shall be therefore a witness H3584 [H8762] to you, lest ye deny H430 your God.

28 H3091 So Joshua H5971 let the people H7971 [H8762] depart, H376 every man H5159 to his inheritance.

Serviemus igitur Domino, quia ipse est Deus noster. ¹⁹ Dixitque Josue ad populum: Non poteritis servire Domino: Deus enim sanctus et fortis æmulator est, nec ignoscet sceleribus vestris atque peccatis. ²⁰ Si dimiseritis Dominum, et servieritis diis alienis, convertet se, et affliget vos atque subvertet, postquam vobis præstiterit bona. ²¹ Dixitque populus ad Josue: Nequaquam ita ut loqueris erit, sed Domino serviemus. ²² Et Josue ad populum: Testes, inquit, vos estis, quia ipsi elegeritis vobis Dominum ut serviatis ei. Responderuntque: Testes. ²³ Nunc ergo, ait, auferte deos alienos de medio vestri, et inclinate corda vestra ad Dominum Deum Israël. ²⁴ Dixitque populus ad Josue: Domino Deo nostro serviemus, et obedientes erimus præceptis ejus. ²⁵ Percussit ergo Josue in die illo fœdus, et proposuit populo præcepta atque judicia in Sichem. ²⁶ Scripsit quoque omnia verba hæc in volumine legis Domini: et tulit lapidem pergrandem, posuitque eum subter quercum, quæ erat in sanctuario Domini: ²⁷ et dixit ad omnem populum: En lapis iste erit vobis in testimonium, quod audierit omnia verba Domini, quæ locutus est vobis: ne forte postea negare velitis, et mentiri Domino Deo vestro. ²⁸ Dimisitque populum, singulos in possessionem suam.

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But if it semeth yuel to you, `that ye serue the Lord, chesyng is youun to you; chese ye to you to dai that, that plesith, whom ye owen most to serue; whether to goddis, whiche youre fadris serueden in Mesopotanye, whether to the goddis of Ammorreis, in whose lond ye dwellen; forsothe Y, and myn hows schulen serue the Lord. ¹⁶ And al the puple answeride and seide, Fer be it fro vs that we forsake the Lord, and serue alien goddis. ¹⁷ `Oure Lord God hym silf ledde vs and oure fadris out of the lond of Egipt, fro the hows of seruage, and dide grete signes in oure siyt; and he kepte vs in al the weie, bi which we yeden, and in alle puplis, bi whiche we passiden; and he castide out alle folkis, ¹⁸ Ammorrei, the dwellere of the lond, in to which we entriden. Therfor we schulen serue the Lord, for he is `oure Lord God. ¹⁹ And Josue seide to the puple, Ye moun not serue the Lord; for God is hooli, and a strong feruent louyere, and he foryyueth not youre trespassis and synnes. ²⁰ If ye forsaken the Lord, and seruen alien goddis, the Lord schal turne `hym silf, and schal turment you, and schal distrie, after that he hath youe goodis to you. ²¹ And the puple seide to Josue, It schal not be so, as thou spekist, but we schulen serue the Lord. ²² And Josue seide to the puple, Ye ben witnessis, that ye han chose the Lord to you, that ye serue him. And thei answeriden, We ben witnessis. ²³ Therfor, he seide, Now do ye awei alien goddis fro the myddis of you, and bowe ye youre hertis to the Lord God of Israel. ²⁴ And the puple seide to Josue, We schulen serue `oure Lord God, and we schulen be obedient to hise heestis. ²⁵ Therfor Josue smoot a boond of pees in that dai, and settide forth to the puple comaundementis and domes in Sichen. ²⁶ And he wroot alle these wordis in the book of Goddis lawe. And he took a greet stoon, and puttide it vndur an ook, that was in the seyntuarie of the Lord. ²⁷ And he seide to al the puple, Lo! this stoon schal be to you in to witnessing, that ye herden alle the wordis of the Lord, whiche he spak to you, lest perauenture ye wolden denye aftirward, and lye to youre Lord God. ²⁸ And he lefte the puple, ech man in to his possessioun.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But yf ye like not to serue the LORDE, the chose you this daye whom ye wyll serue: the God whom youre fathers serued beionde ye water, or ye goddes of the Amorites, in whose lode ye dwell. As for me and my house, we wyll serue the LORDE. ¹⁶ Then answered the people, and saide: God forbidde, that we shulde forsake the LORDE, & serue other goddes. ¹⁷ For the LORDE oure God brought vs and oure fathers out of the londe of Egipte fro the house of bondage, and did soch greate tokens before oure eyes, and preserued vs all ye waye that we wente, and amonge all the nacions, whom we trauayled by. ¹⁸ And the LORDE thrust out before vs all the people of the Amorites that dwelt in the londe. Therfore wyll we also serue the LORDE, for he is oure God. ¹⁹ Iosua sayde vnto the people: Ye can not serue the LORDE: for he is an holy God, mightie, and gelous, which spareth not youre trangressions and synnes. ²⁰ But yf ye forsake the LORDE, and serue a straunge god, then shall the LORDE turne him, and do you euell, and consume you, after that he hath done you good. ²¹ The people sayde vnto Iosua: Not so, but we will serue the LORDE. ²² Then sayde Iosua vnto the people: Ye are witnesses ouer youre selues, that ye haue chosen you the LORDE, to serue him. And they sayde: Yee. ²³ Then put awaye from you (sayde he) the straunge goddes yt are amonge you, and enclyne youre hert vnto the LORDE the God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people sayde vnto Iosua: We wyll serue the LORDE oure God, and be obedient vnto his voyce. ²⁵ So Iosua made a couenaunt with the people ye same daye, and laied statutes & lawes before them at Sichem. ²⁶ And Iosua wrote this acte in the boke of the lawe of God, and toke a greate stone, & set it vp there vnder an oke, which was in ye Sanctuary of ye LORDE, ²⁷ and sayde vnto all the people: Beholde, this stone shall be witnesse ouer you: For it hath herde all the wordes of the LORDE, which he hath spoken vnto vs, and shall be a witnesse ouer you, that ye denye not youre God. ²⁸ So Iosua let the people go euery one to his enheritauce.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, then choose you this day, whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served, that were on the other side of the water, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land, ye dwelt. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." ¹⁶ And the people answered and said, "God forbid that we should forsake the LORD and serve strange gods. ¹⁷ For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage, and which did those miracles in our sight, and preserved us in all the way we went and among all the nations which we came through. ¹⁸ And the LORD did cast out before us all the nations with the Amorites which dwelt in the land, wherefore we will serve the LORD — for he is our God." ¹⁹ But Joshua said unto the people, "Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is a holy God and cannot bear your transgression and sin. ²⁰ But when ye have forsaken the LORD and have served strange gods, he will turn and do you evil and consume you, after that he hath done you good." ²¹ And the people answered Joshua, "Nay, but we will serve the LORD." ²² Then Joshua said unto the folk, "Ye are witnesses unto yourselves, that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him." And they said, "We are witnesses." ²³ "Then put away," said he, "the strange gods which are among you, and bow your hearts unto the LORD God of Israel." ²⁴ And the people answered Joshua, "The LORD our God we will serve and his voice we will obey." ²⁵ And so Joshua made a covenant with the people the same day and set ordinances and laws before them in Shechem. ²⁶ And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone and pitched it on end in the said place, even under an oak that stood in the sanctuary of the LORD. ²⁷ And Joshua said unto all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake with us. It shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye lie unto your God." ²⁸ And so Joshua let the people depart every man unto his inheritance.

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But yf it seme euyll vnto you to serue the Lorde, then chose you thys day whom you wyll serue whether the Goddes whiche youre fathers serued that were on the other syde of the floude, eyther the Goddes of the Amorytes in whose lande, ye dwelte, and I & my house wyll serue the Lorde. ¹⁶ And the people aunswered and sayd, God forbyd that we shulde forsake the Lorde and serue straunge Goddes. ¹⁷ For the Lorde oure God he it is that brought vs and our fathers out of the lande of Egypte, the house of bondage, and whiche dyd those myracles in oure syght, and preserued vs in all the waye we went and amonge all the nacyons whiche we came thorow. ¹⁸ And the Lorde dyd cast out before vs all the nacyons wyth the Amorytes, whiche dwelt in the lande, wherfore we wyll serue the Lorde, for he is oure God. ¹⁹ But Iosua sayde vnto the people, ye can not serue the Lorde: for he is an holye God & cannot beare youre transgressyon and synne. ²⁰ But when ye haue forsaken the Lorde and haue serued straunge Goddes, he wyll turne and do you euyll, and consume you, after that he hath done you good. ²¹ And the people aunswered Iosua: naye, but we wyll serue the Lorde. ²² Then Iosua sayde vnto the folke, ye are wytnesses vnto youre selues, that ye haue chosen you the Lorde, to serue hym: and they said we are wytnesses. ²³ Then put awaye, sayde he the straung Goddes which are among you, and bowe your hertes vnto the Lorde God of Israell. ²⁴ And the people aunswered Iosua: the Lorde oure God we wyll serue, & hys voyce we wyl obey. ²⁵ And so Iosua made a couenaunt wyth the people the same daye, and set ordynaunces and lawes before them in Sichem. ²⁶ And Iosua wrote these wordes in the boke of the lawe of God, and toke a great stone and pytched it on ende in the sayde place euen vnder an ocke that stode in the sanctuarye of the Lorde. ²⁷ And Iosua sayde vnto all the people: beholde, thys stone shalbe a wytnesse vnto vs, for it hath hearde all the wordes of the Lorde whiche he spake wyth vs. It shalbe therfore a wytnesse vnto you, leste ye lye vnto youre God. ²⁸ And so Iosua let the people departe euery man vnto hys enherytaunce.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve thee Lord, ¹⁶ And the people answered, and said, God forbid we should leave the Lord, and serve strange gods. ¹⁷ The Lord our God he brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage: and did very great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way by which we journeyed, and among all the people through whom we passed. ¹⁸ And he hath cast out all the nations, the Amorrhite the inhabitant of the land into which we are come. Therefore we will serve the Lord, for he is our God. ¹⁹ And Josue said to the people: You will not be able to serve the Lord: for he is a holy God, and mighty and jealous, and will not forgive your wickedness and sins. ²⁰ If you leave the Lord, and serve strange gods, he will turn, and will afflict you, and will destroy you after all the good he hath done you. ²¹ And the people said to Josue: No, it shall not be so as thou sayest, but we will serve the Lord. ²² And Josue said to the people, You are witnesses, that you yourselves have chosen you the Lord to serve him. And they answered: We are witnesses. ²³ Now therefore, said he, put away strange gods from among you, and incline your hearts to the Lord the God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people said to Josue: We will serve the Lord our God, and we will be obedient to his commandments. ²⁵ Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem. ²⁶ And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord. ²⁷ And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God. ²⁸ And he sent the people away every one to their own possession,

16 H5971 And the people H6030 answered [H8799] H559 and said [H8799] H2486 , God forbid H5800 that we should forsake [H8800] H3068 the LORD H5647 , to serve [H8800] H312 other H430 gods;

He is God. He hath brought up us and our fathers out of Egypt, and preserved us all the way we went, and among all the nations through which we passed, ¹⁸ and the Lord hath driven out from before us the Amorites, and all the nations who dwelt in this land; therefore we will serve none but the Lord; for he is our God. ¹⁹ And Joshua said to the people, You may not be able to serve the Lord, because he is the Holy God, and will be zealous. He will not bear with your sins and your iniquities. ²⁰ When you forsake the Lord, and serve other gods, he will come and afflict you; and consume you, proportionally to the good he hath done you. ²¹ And the people said to Joshua, Nay, we will serve none but the Lord. ²² Then Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the Lord to serve him. ²³ Now therefore put away the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people said to Joshua, We will serve the Lord, and hearken to his voice. ²⁵ So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and gave it to them as a law, and a solemn decision at Selo, before the tabernacle of the Lord God of Israel. ²⁶ And when he had written these words in the book of the laws of God, he took a great stone, and set it up under a fir tree which was over against the Lord, ²⁷ and Joshua said to the people, Behold this stone shall be among you for a witness, that it hath heard all that were said by the Lord, for he hath this day spoken to you; and this shall be among you for a witness in the latter days, whenever you prove false to the Lord my God. ²⁸ Then Joshua dismissed the people, and they departed every one to his place;

20 H5800 [H8799] If ye forsake H3068 the LORD H5647 [H8804] , and serve H5236 foreign H430 gods H7725 [H8804] , then he will turn H7489 [H8689] and do you harm H3615 [H8765] , and consume H310 you, after H3190 [H8689] that he hath done you good.

21 H5971 And the people H559 [H8799] said H3091 to Joshua H5647 [H8799] , Nay; but we will serve H3068 the LORD.

23 H5493 [H8685] Now therefore put away H5236 , said he, the foreign H430 gods H7130 which are among H5186 [H8685] you, and incline H3824 your heart H3068 to the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel.

24 H5971 And the people H559 [H8799] said H3091 to Joshua H3068 , The LORD H430 our God H5647 [H8799] will we serve H6963 , and his voice H8085 [H8799] will we obey.

28 H3091 So Joshua H5971 let the people H7971 [H8762] depart H376 , every man H5159 to his inheritance.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But if it seem not good to you to serve the Lord, choose to yourselves this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods of your fathers that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, among whom ye dwell upon their land: but I and my house will serve the Lord, for he is holy. ¹⁶ And the people answered and said, Far be it from us to forsake the Lord, so as to serve other gods. ¹⁷ The Lord our God, he is God; he brought up us and our fathers from Egypt, and kept us in all the way wherein we walked, and among all the nations through whom we passed. ¹⁸ And the Lord cast out the Amorite, and all the nations that inhabited the land from before us: yea, we will serve the Lord, for he is our God. ¹⁹ And Joshua said to the people, Indeed ye will not be able to serve the Lord, for God is holy; and he being jealous will not forgive your sins and your transgressions. ²⁰ Whensoever ye shall forsake the Lord and serve other gods, then he shall come upon you and afflict you, and consume you, because he has done you good. ²¹ And the people said to Joshua, Nay, but we will serve the Lord. ²² And Joshua said to the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves, that ye have chosen the Lord to serve him. ²³ And now take away the strange gods that are among you, and set your heart right toward the Lord God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people said to Joshua, We will serve the Lord, and we will hearken to his voice. ²⁵ So Joshua made a covenant with the people on that day, and gave them a law and an ordinance in Selo before the tabernacle of the God of Israel. ²⁶ And he wrote these words in the book of the laws of God: and Joshua took a great stone, and set it up under the oak before the Lord. ²⁷ And Joshua said to the people, Behold, this stone shall be among you for a witness, for it has heard all the words that have been spoken to it by the Lord; for he has spoken to you this day; and this stone shall be among you for a witness in the last days, whenever ye shall deal falsely with the Lord my God. ²⁸ And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his place.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And if it be displeasing in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom ye will serve: whether the gods which your fathers that were on the other side of the river served, or the gods of the Emorites, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. ¹⁶ And the people answered and said, Far be it from us to forsake the Lord, to serve other gods; ¹⁷ For the Lord our God it is that hath brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery, and who hath done those great signs before our eyes, and preserved us upon all the way whereon we have gone, and among all the people through the midst of whom we have passed: ¹⁸ And the Lord hath driven out all the nations, and the Emorites who dwelt in the land, from before us; therefore also will we serve the Lord; for he is our God. ¹⁹ And Joshua said unto the people, Ye will not be able to serve the Lord; for he is a holy God; he is a watchful God; he will not have any indulgence for your transgressions and for your sins; ²⁰ If ye forsake the Lord, and serve strange gods, then will he again do ye evil, and consume ye, after that he hath done you good. ²¹ And the people said unto Joshua, No; nevertheless the Lord will we serve. ²² And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye yourselves have chosen for you the Lord, to serve him.

16 H5971 And the people H6030 answered H559 and said, H2486 Far H5800 be it from us that we should forsake H3068 Jehovah, H5647 to serve H312 other H430 gods;

17 H3068 for Jehovah H430 our God, H1 he it is that brought us and our fathers H5927 up H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt, H1004 from the house H5650 of bondage, H6213 and that did H1419 those great H226 signs H5869 in our sight, H8104 and preserved H1870 us in all the way H1980 wherein we went, H5971 and among all the peoples H7130 through H5674 the midst of whom we passed;

18 H3068 and Jehovah H1644 drove out H6440 from before H5971 us all the peoples, H567 even the Amorites H3427 that dwelt H776 in the land: H5647 therefore we also will serve H3068 Jehovah; H430 for he is our God.

19 H3091 And Joshua H559 said H5971 unto the people, H3201 Ye cannot H5647 serve H3068 Jehovah; H6918 for he is a holy H430 God; H7072 he is a jealous H430 God; H5375 he will not forgive H6588 your transgression H2403 nor your sins.

20 H5800 If ye forsake H3068 Jehovah, H5647 and serve H5236 foreign H430 gods, H7725 then he will turn H7489 and do you evil, H3615 and consume H310 you, after H3190 that he hath done you good.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And if it seems evil to you to be the servants of the Lord, make the decision this day whose servants you will be: of the gods whose servants your fathers were across the River, or of the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living: but I and my house will be the servants of the Lord. ¹⁶ Then the people in answer said, Never will we give up the Lord to be the servants of other gods; ¹⁷ For it is the Lord our God who has taken us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house, and who did all those great signs before our eyes, and kept us safe on all our journeys, and among all the peoples through whom we went: ¹⁸ And the Lord sent out from before us all the peoples, the Amorites living in the land: so we will be the servants of the Lord, for he is our God. ¹⁹ And Joshua said to the people, You are not able to be the servants of the Lord, for he is a holy God, a God who will not let his honour be given to another: he will have no mercy on your wrongdoing or your sins. ²⁰ If you are turned away from the Lord and become the servants of strange gods, then turning against you he will do you evil, cutting you off, after he has done you good. ²¹ And the people said to Joshua, No!

19 H3091 And Joshua H559 said H5971 unto the people, H3201 You cannot H5647 serve H3068 the Lord: H6918 for he is an holy H430 God; H7072 he is a jealous H410 God; H5375 he will not forgive H6588 your transgressions H2403 nor your sins.

20 H5800 If you forsake H3068 the Lord, H5647 and serve H5236 strange H430 gods, H7725 then he will turn H7489 and do you hurt, H3615 and consume H310 you, after H3190 that he has done you good.

21 H5971 And the people H559 said H3091 unto Joshua, H5647 No; but we will serve H3068 the Lord.

22 H3091 And Joshua H559 said H5971 unto the people, H5707 You are witnesses H977 against yourselves that you have chosen H3068 you the Lord, H5647 to serve H559 him. And they said, H5707 We are witnesses.

23 H5493 Now therefore put away, H5236 said he, the strange H430 gods H7130 which are among H5186 you, and incline H3824 your heart H3068 unto the Lord H430 God H3478 of Israel.

24 H5971 And the people H559 said H3091 unto Joshua, H3068 The Lord H430 our God H5647 will we serve, H6963 and his voice H8085 will we obey.

25 H3091 So Joshua H3772 made H1285 a covenant H5971 with the people H3117 that day, H7760 and set H2706 them a statute H4941 and an ordinance H7927 in Shechem.

26 H3091 And Joshua H3789 wrote H1697 these words H5612 in the book H8451 of the law H430 of God, H3947 and took H1419 a great H68 stone, H6965 and set it up H427 there under an oak, H4720 that was by the sanctuary H3068 of the Lord.

27 H3091 And Joshua H559 said H5971 unto all the people, H68 Behold, this stone H5713 shall be a witness H8085 unto us; for it has heard H561 all the words H3068 of the Lord H1696 which he spoke H5713 unto us: it shall be therefore a witness H3584 unto you, lest you deny H430 your God.

28 H3091 So Joshua H5971 let the people H7971 depart, H376 every man H5159 unto his inheritance.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ ¶ And if it seems evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the river or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. ¹⁶ Then the people answered and said, May it never happen that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods. ¹⁷ For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt from the house of slavery and who did those great signs in our sight and has kept us in all the way in which we went and among all the peoples through whom we passed. ¹⁸ And the LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land; therefore, will we also serve the LORD, for he is our God. ¹⁹ Then Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD, for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not allow your rebellions nor your sins. ²⁰ If ye forsake the LORD and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt and consume you, after he has done you good. ²¹ And the people said unto Joshua, No, but we will serve the LORD. ²² And Joshua said unto the people, Ye shall be witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We shall be witnesses. ²³ Now, therefore, take away, the strange gods which are among you and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people replied unto Joshua, We will serve the LORD our God and hear his voice. ²⁵ So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day and set them statutes and laws in Shechem. ²⁶ And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and taking a great stone, he set it up there under an oak that was in the sanctuary of the LORD. ²⁷ And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us, for it has heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke unto us: it shall be, therefore, a witness unto you lest ye deny your God. ²⁸ So Joshua sent the people, each one unto his inheritance.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But if it seem not good to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods of your fathers that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, among whom you dwell upon their land. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, for He is holy. ¹⁶ And the people answered and said, Far be it from us to forsake the Lord, so as to serve other gods. ¹⁷ The Lord our God, He is God; He brought up us and our fathers from Egypt, and kept us in all the way in which we walked, and among all the nations through whom we passed. ¹⁸ And the Lord cast out the Amorite, and all the nations that inhabited the land from before us: yea, we will serve the Lord, for He is our God. ¹⁹ And Joshua said to the people, Indeed you will not be able to serve the Lord, for God is holy; and He being jealous will not forgive your sins and your transgressions. ²⁰ Whenever you shall forsake the Lord and serve other gods, then He shall come upon you and afflict you, and consume you, because He has done you good. ²¹ And the people said to Joshua, No, but we will serve the Lord! ²² And Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves, that you have chosen the Lord, to serve Him. ²³ And now take away the strange gods that are among you, and set your heart right toward the Lord God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people said to Joshua, We will serve the Lord, and we will hearken to His voice. ²⁵ So Joshua made a covenant with the people on that day, and gave them a law and an ordinance in Shiloh before the tabernacle of the God of Israel. ²⁶ And he wrote these words in the Book of the Laws of God. And Joshua took a great stone, and set it up under the oak before the Lord. ²⁷ And Joshua said to the people, Behold, this stone shall be among you for a witness, for it has heard all the words that have been spoken to it by the Lord; for He has spoken to you this day; and this stone shall be among you for a witness in the last days, whenever you shall deal falsely with the Lord my God. ²⁸ And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his place.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ »‘If you are not willing to serve him, decide today whom you will serve, the gods your ancestors worshiped in Mesopotamia or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are now living. As for my family and me, we will serve Jehovah.’« ¹⁶ The people replied: »We would never leave Jehovah to serve other gods! ¹⁷ »Jehovah our God brought our fathers and us out of slavery in Egypt. We saw the miracles he performed. He kept us safe wherever we went among all the nations through which we passed. ¹⁸ »As we advanced to this land, Jehovah drove out all the Amorites who lived here. We also will serve Jehovah. He is our God!« ¹⁹ Joshua said to the people: »You may not be able to serve Jehovah. He is a holy God and will not forgive your sins. He will tolerate no rivals, ²⁰ and if you leave him to serve foreign gods, he will turn against you and punish you. He will destroy you, even though he was good to you before.« ²¹ The people said to Joshua: »No! We will serve Jehovah!« ²² Joshua replied: »You are your own witnesses to the fact that you have chosen to serve Jehovah.« They said: »We are witnesses!« ²³ »Remove the foreign gods you have.« He demanded: »Pledge your loyalty to Jehovah, the God of Israel.« ²⁴ The people said to Joshua: »We will serve Jehovah our God. We will obey his commands.« ²⁵ Joshua made a covenant for the people that day at Shechem. He gave them laws and rules to follow. ²⁶ Joshua wrote these commands in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up under the oak tree in Jehovah’s sanctuary. ²⁷ He told the people: »This stone will serve as our witness. It has heard all the words that Jehovah spoke to us. So it will be a witness against you, to keep you from rebelling against your God.« ²⁸ Joshua sent the people away, and everyone returned to their own part of the land.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ If you think it’s the wrong thing for you to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves today whom you will serve—the gods whom your ancestors served on the other side of the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose territories you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”
¹⁶ The Response of the PeopleIn response, the people said, “Far be it from us that we should abandon the LORD to serve other gods, ¹⁷ since the LORD our God is the one who brought us and our ancestors up from the land of Egypt, from a life of slavery. He did those great things right in front of us, preserving us along the way that we traveled and among all the peoples through whose territory we passed. ¹⁸ The LORD expelled all the people before us, including the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore, we also will serve the LORD, since he is our God.”
¹⁹ So Joshua told the people, “You will not be able to serve the LORD, because he is a God of Holiness. He is a jealous God, and he will forgive neither your transgressions nor your sins. ²⁰ If you abandon the LORD and serve foreign deities, then he will turn and do you harm, consuming you after all the good he has done for you.”
²¹ “No,” the people replied to Joshua. “We will serve the LORD.”
²² Joshua responded, “You are giving testimony against yourselves, that you have chosen to serve the LORD.”
They replied, “We are witnesses!”
²³ Joshua said, “Therefore abandon the foreign gods that are among you, and turn your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.”
²⁴ The people replied, “We will serve the LORD our God and obey his voice.”
²⁵ So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, making statutes and ordinances in Shechem. ²⁶ He wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God, took a large stone, moved it under the shade of the oak tree that was near the sanctuary of the LORD, ²⁷ and then told all of the people, “Look! This stone will testify for us, because it has heard everything that the LORD has spoken to us. So it will stand as a witness against you in the event that you deny your God.” ²⁸ Then Joshua dismissed the people, and each man returned to his territorial inheritance.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But if it is bad in your eyes to serve Yahweh, choose for yourselves today whom you want to serve, whether it is the gods that your ancestors* served beyond the river,* or the gods of the Amorites* in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve Yahweh." ¹⁶ And the people answered and said, "Far be it from us that we would forsake Yahweh to serve other gods, ¹⁷ for Yahweh our God brought us and our ancestors* from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery, and did these great signs before our eyes. He protected us along the entire way that we went, and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed. ¹⁸ And Yahweh drove out all the people before us, the Amorites* who live* in the land. We will serve Yahweh, for he is our God." ¹⁹ But Joshua said to the people, "You cannot serve Yahweh, for he is a holy and jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions or your sins. ²⁰ If you forsake Yahweh and serve foreign gods, he will turn and bring disaster to you; he will destroy you after he has done good to you." ²¹ And the people said to Joshua, "No, we will serve Yahweh." ²² And Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves to serve Yahweh." And they said, "We are witnesses." ²³ He said, "Remove the foreign gods that are in your midst, and incline your hearts to Yahweh the God of Israel." ²⁴ And the people said to Joshua, "We will serve Yahweh our God, and we will listen to his voice." ²⁵ So Joshua _⌊made a covenant_⌋* with the people on that day, and he established for them a statute and a judgment at Shechem. ²⁶ Then Joshua wrote these words in a scroll of the law of God, and he took a large stone and set it up there under a large tree, which is at the shrine of Yahweh. ²⁷ And Joshua said to all the people, "Look, this stone will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words of Yahweh that he spoke with us. It will be as a witness against you, so that you do not deny your God." ²⁸ Then Joshua sent the people away to their inheritance.

Darum wollen wir auch dem HERRN dienen; denn er ist unser Gott. ¹⁹ Josua sprach zu dem Volk: Ihr könnt dem HERRN nicht dienen; denn er ist ein heiliger Gott, ein eifriger Gott, der eurer Übertretungen und Sünden nicht schonen wird. ²⁰ Wenn ihr aber den HERRN verlaßt und fremden Göttern dient, so wird er sich wenden und euch plagen und euch umbringen, nachdem er euch Gutes getan hat. ²¹ Das Volk aber sprach zu Josua: Nicht also, sondern wir wollen dem HERRN dienen. ²² Da sprach Josua zum Volk: Ihr seid Zeugen über euch, daß ihr den HERRN euch erwählt habt, daß ihr ihm dient. Und sie sprachen: Ja. ²³ So tut nun von euch die fremden Götter, die unter euch sind, und neigt euer Herz zu dem HERRN, dem Gott Israels. ²⁴ Und das Volk sprach zu Josua: Wir wollen dem HERRN, unserm Gott, dienen und seiner Stimme gehorchen. ²⁵ Also machte Josua desselben Tages einen Bund mit dem Volk und legte ihnen Gesetze und Rechte vor zu Sichem. ²⁶ Und Josua schrieb dies alles ins Gesetzbuch Gottes und nahm einen großen Stein und richtete ihn auf daselbst unter einer Eiche, die bei dem Heiligtum des HERRN war, ²⁷ und sprach zum ganzen Volk: Siehe, dieser Stein soll Zeuge sein über uns, denn er hat gehört alle Rede des HERRN, die er uns geredet hat; und soll ein Zeuge über euch sein, daß ihr euren Gott nicht verleugnet. ²⁸ Also ließ Josua das Volk gehen, einen jeglichen in sein Erbteil.

15 H7489 Gefällt H4310 es euch H3068 aber nicht, daß ihr dem HERRN H5647 dienet H977 , so erwählet H3117 euch heute H5869 , wem H5647 ihr dienen H430 wollt: den Göttern H1 , denen eure Väter H5647 gedient H5676 haben jenseit H5104 des Stroms H430 , oder den Göttern H567 der Amoriter H776 , in deren Land H3427 ihr wohnet H1004 .

17 H3068 Denn der HERR H430 , unser Gott H1 , hat uns und unsre Väter H4714 H776 aus Ägyptenland H5927 geführt H5650 H1004 , aus dem Diensthause H5869 , und hat vor unsern Augen H1419 solche große H226 Zeichen H6213 getan H8104 und uns behütet H1870 auf dem ganzen Wege H1980 , den wir gezogen H5971 sind, und unter allen Völkern H7130 , durch H5674 welche wir gegangen sind,

19 H3091 Josua H559 sprach H5971 zum Volk H3201 : Ihr könnt H3068 dem HERRN H3201 nicht H5647 dienen H6918 ; denn er ist ein heiliger H430 Gott H7072 , ein eifriger H410 Gott H6588 , der eurer Übertretungen H2403 und Sünden H5375 nicht schonen wird.

20 H3068 Wenn ihr aber den HERRN H5800 verlaßt H5236 und fremden H430 Göttern H5647 dient H7725 , so wird er sich wenden H7489 und euch plagen H3615 und euch umbringen H310 , nachdem H3190 er euch Gutes getan hat.

23 H5493 So tut H5493 nun von euch H5236 die fremden H430 Götter H7130 , die unter H5186 euch sind, und neiget H3824 euer Herz H3068 zu dem HERRN H430 , dem Gott H3478 Israels .

26 H3091 Und Josua H3789 schrieb H1697 dies H8451 H5612 alles ins Gesetzbuch H430 Gottes H3947 und nahm H1419 einen großen H68 Stein H6965 und richtete H6965 ihn auf H427 daselbst unter einer Eiche H4720 , die bei dem Heiligtum H3068 des HERRN war,

27 H3091 und H559 sprach H5971 zum ganzen Volk H68 : Siehe, dieser Stein H5713 soll Zeuge H8085 sein über uns, denn er hat gehört H561 alle Rede H3068 des HERRN H1696 , die er uns geredet H5713 hat; und soll ein Zeuge H430 über euch sein, daß ihr euren Gott H3584 nicht verleugnet .

C’est lui qui a fait sortir d’Egypte nous et nos pères, et qui nous a gardés tout le long de la voie que nous avons suivie, et au milieu de toutes les nations que nous avons traversées. ¹⁸ Et le Seigneur a chassé devant notre face l’Amorrhéen et toutes les nations qui habitaient la terre. Nous servirons donc le Seigneur, car il est notre Dieu. ¹⁹ Et Josué dit au peuple: Vous ne pourrez point servir le Seigneur: car c’est un Dieu saint; c’est un Dieu jaloux, et il ne tolèrera point vos péchés ni vos iniquité. ²⁰ Dès que vous abandonnerez le Seigneur et que vous servirez d’autres dieux, il fondra sur vous pour vous punir, et il vous accablera de maux au lieu du bien qu’il vous a fait. ²¹ Et le peuple dit à Josué: Non, non; nous servirons le Seigneur. ²² Et Josué dit au peuple: Vous êtes vous-mêmes témoins entre vous que vous avez choisi le service du Seigneur. ²³ Et maintenant, faites disparaître les dieux étrangers que vous avez parmi vous, et dirigez vos coeurs vers le Seigneur Dieu d’Israël. ²⁴ Et le peuple dit à Josué: Nous servirons le Seigneur, et nous serons dociles à sa voix. ²⁵ Ce jour-là, Josué fit alliance avec le peuple, et il lui donna la loi et le jugement en Silo, devant le tabernacle du Dieu d’Israël. ²⁶ Et il écrivit toutes ces paroles dans le livre des lois de Dieu; il prit une grande pierre, et il la dressa, sous le térébinthe, devant le Seigneur. ²⁷ Et Josué dit au peuple: Voyez cette pierre; elle portera parmi vous témoignage; elle a entendu tout ce qui vient d’être dit ici par le Seigneur; car c’est lui qui vous a parlé aujourd’hui, et cette pierre portera parmi vous témoignage jusqu’aux derniers des jours, lorsque vous viendrez à mentir au Seigneur mon Dieu. ²⁸ Josué alors congédia le peuple, et chacun se rendit à sa demeure.

Et ils dirent: Nous en sommes témoins. ²³ Et maintenant, ôtez les dieux étrangers qui sont au milieu de vous, et inclinez votre coeur vers l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël. ²⁴ Et le peuple dit à Josué: Nous servirons l'Éternel, notre Dieu, et nous écouterons sa voix. ²⁵ Et Josué fit une alliance avec le peuple en ce jour-là, et lui établit un statut et une ordonnance, à Sichem. ²⁶ Et Josué écrivit ces paroles dans le livre de la loi de Dieu. Et il prit une grande pierre, et la dressa là sous le chêne qui était auprès du sanctuaire de l'Éternel; ²⁷ et Josué dit à tout le peuple: Voici, cette pierre sera témoin contre nous, car elle a entendu toutes les paroles de l'Éternel, qu'il nous a dites; et elle sera témoin contre vous, de peur que vous ne reniiez votre Dieu. ²⁸ Et Josué renvoya le peuple, chacun à son héritage.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Que s'il vous déplaît de servir l'Eternel, choisissez-vous aujourd'hui qui vous voulez servir, ou les dieux que vos pères qui étaient au delà du fleuve, ont servis, ou les dieux des Amorrhéens, au pays desquels vous habitez; mais pour moi et ma maison, nous servirons l'Eternel. ¹⁶ Alors le peuple répondit, et dit : A Dieu ne plaise que nous abandonnions l'Eternel pour servir d'autres dieux! ¹⁷ Car l'Eternel notre Dieu est celui qui nous a fait monter, nous et nos pères, hors du pays d'Egypte, de la maison de servitude, et qui a fait devant nos yeux ces grands signes, et qui nous a gardés dans tout le chemin par lequel nous avons marché, et entre tous les peuples parmi lesquels nous avons passé. ¹⁸ Et l'Eternel a chassé devant nous tous les peuples, et même les Amorrhéens qui habitaient en ce pays; nous servirons donc l'Eternel, car il est notre Dieu. ¹⁹ Et Josué dit au peuple : Vous ne pourrez pas servir l'Eternel, car c'est le Dieu saint, c'est le Dieu Fort, qui est jaloux, il ne pardonnera point votre révolte, ni vos péchés. ²⁰ Quand vous aurez abandonné l'Eternel, et que vous aurez servi les dieux des étrangers, il se retournera, et vous fera du mal, et il vous consumera après vous avoir fait du bien. ²¹ Et le peuple dit à Josué : Non; mais nous servirons l'Eternel. ²² Et Josué dit au peuple : Vous êtes témoins contre vous-mêmes que vous avez vous-mêmes choisi l'Eternel pour le servir. Et ils répondirent : Nous en sommes témoins. ²³ Maintenant donc ôtez les dieux des étrangers qui sont parmi vous, et tournez votre coeur vers l'Eternel le Dieu d'Israël. ²⁴ Et le peuple répondit à Josué : Nous servirons l'Eternel notre Dieu, et nous obéirons à sa voix. ²⁵ Josué donc traita alliance en ce jour-là avec le peuple; et il lui proposa des statuts et des ordonnances en Sichem. ²⁶ Et Josué écrivit ces paroles au livre de la Loi de Dieu. Il prit aussi une grande pierre, et l'éleva là sous un chêne qui était au Sanctuaire de l'Eternel. ²⁷ Et Josué dit à tout le peuple : Voici, cette pierre nous sera en témoignage; car elle a ouï toutes les paroles de l'Eternel lesquelles il nous a dites; et elle sera en témoignage contre vous, de peur qu'il n'arrive que vous mentiez contre votre Dieu. ²⁸ Puis Josué renvoya le peuple, chacun en son héritage.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Et si vous ne trouvez pas bon de servir l'Eternel, choisissez aujourd'hui qui vous voulez servir, ou les dieux que servaient vos pères au delà du fleuve, ou les dieux des Amoréens dans le pays desquels vous habitez. Moi et ma maison, nous servirons l'Eternel. ¹⁶ Le peuple répondit, et dit: Loin de nous la pensée d'abandonner l'Eternel, et de servir d'autres dieux! ¹⁷ Car l'Eternel est notre Dieu; c'est lui qui nous a fait sortir du pays d'Egypte, de la maison de servitude, nous et nos pères; c'est lui qui a opéré sous nos yeux ces grands prodiges, et qui nous a gardés pendant toute la route que nous avons suivie et parmi tous les peuples au milieu desquels nous avons passé. ¹⁸ Il a chassé devant nous tous les peuples, et les Amoréens qui habitaient ce pays. Nous aussi, nous servirons l'Eternel, car il est notre Dieu. ¹⁹ Josué dit au peuple: Vous n'aurez pas la force de servir l'Eternel, car c'est un Dieu saint, c'est un Dieu jaloux; il ne pardonnera point vos transgressions et vos péchés. ²⁰ Lorsque vous abandonnerez l'Eternel et que vous servirez des dieux étrangers, il reviendra vous faire du mal, et il vous consumera après vous avoir fait du bien. ²¹ Le peuple dit à Josué: Non! car nous servirons l'Eternel. ²² Josué dit au peuple: Vous êtes témoins contre vous-mêmes que c'est vous qui avez choisi l'Eternel pour le servir. Ils répondirent: Nous en sommes témoins. ²³ Otez donc les dieux étrangers qui sont au milieu de vous, et tournez votre coeur vers l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël. ²⁴ Et le peuple dit à Josué: Nous servirons l'Eternel, notre Dieu, et nous obéirons à sa voix. ²⁵ Josué fit en ce jour une alliance avec le peuple, et lui donna des lois et des ordonnances, à Sichem. ²⁶ Josué écrivit ces choses dans le livre de la loi de Dieu. Il prit une grande pierre, qu'il dressa là sous le chêne qui était dans le lieu consacré à l'Eternel. ²⁷ Et Josué dit à tout le peuple: Voici, cette pierre servira de témoin contre nous, car elle a entendu toutes les paroles que l'Eternel nous a dites; elle servira de témoin contre vous, afin que vous ne soyez pas infidèles à votre Dieu. ²⁸ Puis Josué renvoya le peuple, chacun dans son héritage.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Y si mal os parece servir al SEÑOR, escogeos hoy a quién sirváis; o a los dioses a quien sirvieron vuestros padres, cuando estuvieron al otro lado del río, o a los dioses de los amorreos, en cuya tierra habitáis; que yo y mi casa serviremos al SEÑOR. ¹⁶ Entonces el pueblo respondió, y dijo: Nunca tal nos acontezca, que dejemos al SEÑOR por servir a otros dioses. ¹⁷ Porque el SEÑOR nuestro Dios es el que nos sacó a nosotros y a nuestros padres de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de servidumbre; el cual delante de nuestros ojos ha hecho estas grandes señales, y nos ha guardado por todo el camino por donde hemos andado, y en todos los pueblos por entre los cuales pasamos. ¹⁸ Y el SEÑOR echó de delante de nosotros a todos los pueblos, y al amorreo que habitaba en la tierra.

Они отвечали: свидетели. ²³ Итак отвергните чужих богов, которые у вас, и обратите сердце своек Господу Богу Израилеву. ²⁴ Народ сказал Иисусу: Господу Богу нашему будемслужить и гласа Его будем слушать. ²⁵ И заключил Иисус с народом завет в тот день и дал ему постановления и закон в Сихеме. ²⁶ И вписал Иисус слова сии в книгу закона Божия, и взял большой камень и положил его там под дубом, который подле святилища Господня. ²⁷ И сказал Иисус всему народу: вот, камень сей будет нам свидетелем, ибо он слышал все слова Господа, которые Он говорил с нами; он да будет свидетелем против вас, чтобы вы не солгали пред Богом вашим. ²⁸ И отпустил Иисус народ, каждого в свой удел.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ وان ساء في اعينكم ان تعبدوا الرب. فاختاروا لانفسكم اليوم من تعبدون ان كان الآلهة الذين عبدهم آباؤكم الذين في عبر النهر وان كان آلهة الاموريين الذين انتم ساكنون في ارضهم. واما انا وبيتي فنعبد الرب ¹⁶ فاجاب الشعب وقالوا حاشا لنا ان نترك الرب لنعبد آلهة اخرى. ¹⁷ لان الرب الهنا هو الذي اصعدنا وآباءنا من ارض مصر من بيت العبودية والذي عمل امام اعيننا تلك الآيات العظيمة وحفظنا في كل الطريق التي سرنا فيها وفي جميع الشعوب الذين عبرنا في وسطهم. ¹⁸ وطرد الرب من امامنا جميع الشعوب والاموريين الساكنين الارض. فنحن ايضا نعبد الرب لانه هو الهنا. ¹⁹ فقال يشوع للشعب لا تقدرون ان تعبدوا الرب لانه اله قدوس واله غيور هو. لا يغفر ذنوبكم وخطاياكم. ²⁰ واذا تركتم الرب وعبدتم آلهة غريبة يرجع فيسيء اليكم ويفنيكم بعد ان احسن اليكم. ²¹ فقال الشعب ليشوع لا. بل الرب نعبد. ²² فقال يشوع للشعب انتم شهود على انفسكم انكم قد اخترتم لانفسكم الرب لتعبدوه. فقالوا نحن شهود. ²³ فالآن انزعوا الآلهة الغريبة التي في وسطكم واميلوا قلوبكم الى الرب اله اسرائيل. ²⁴ فقال الشعب ليشوع. الرب الهنا نعبد ولصوته نسمع. ²⁵ وقطع يشوع عهدا للشعب في ذلك اليوم وجعل لهم فريضة وحكما في شكيم. ²⁶ وكتب يشوع هذا الكلام في سفر شريعة الله. واخذ حجرا كبيرا ونصبه هناك تحت البلوطة التي عند مقدس الرب. ²⁷ ثم قال يشوع لجميع الشعب. ان هذا الحجر يكون شاهدا علينا لانه قد سمع كل كلام الرب الذي كلمنا به فيكون شاهدا عليكم لئلا تجحدوا الهكم. ²⁸ ثم صرف يشوع الشعب كل واحد الى ملكه.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Но ако не желаете да служите на ГОСПОДА, изберете си днес на кого ще служите: дали на боговете, на които бащите ви служеха оттатък реката, или на боговете на аморейците, в чиято земя живеете. Но аз и домът ми ще служим на ГОСПОДА! ¹⁶ И народът отговори и каза: Далеч да бъде от нас да оставим ГОСПОДА, за да служим на други богове! ¹⁷ Защото ГОСПОД, нашият Бог, е, който изведе нас и бащите ни от египетската земя, от дома на робството, и който извърши тези големи знамения пред очите ни и ни запази през целия път, по който вървяхме, и сред всичките народи, през които минахме. ¹⁸ И ГОСПОД изгони отпред нас всичките народи и аморейците, които живееха в земята. Ние също ще служим на ГОСПОДА, защото Той е нашият Бог! ¹⁹ А Иисус каза на народа: Няма да можете да служите на ГОСПОДА, защото Той е свят Бог, Той е ревнив Бог; няма да прости престъпленията ви и греховете ви. ²⁰ Ако оставите ГОСПОДА и служите на чужди богове, тогава Той ще се обърне и ще ви стори зло, и ще ви изтреби след доброто, което ви е сторил. ²¹ А народът каза на Иисус: Не, на ГОСПОДА ще служим! ²² И Иисус каза на народа: Вие сте свидетели против себе си, че сами избрахте ГОСПОДА, за да Му служите. И те казаха: Свидетели сме. ²³ Затова сега махнете чуждите богове, които са сред вас, и наклонете сърцата си към ГОСПОДА, Израилевия Бог. ²⁴ И народът казаха на Иисус: На ГОСПОДА, нашия Бог, ще служим и Неговия глас ще слушаме! ²⁵ Така Иисус направи завет с народа в онзи ден и им постави наредба и правило в Сихем. ²⁶ И Иисус написа тези думи в книгата на Божия закон; и взе голям камък и го изправи там под дъба, който е при ГОСПОДНОТО светилище. ²⁷ И Иисус каза на целия народ: Ето, този камък ще бъде за свидетел против нас, защото той чу всичките думи на ГОСПОДА, които Той ни говори; затова той ще бъде свидетел против вас, за да не се отречете от вашия Бог. ²⁸ И Иисус разпусна народа, всеки в наследството му.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Međutim, ako vam se ne sviđa služiti Jahvi, onda danas izaberite kome ćete služiti: možda bogovima kojima su služili vaši oci s onu stranu Rijeke ili bogovima Amorejaca u čijoj zemlji sada prebivate. Ja i moj dom služit ćemo Jahvi." ¹⁶ Narod odgovori: "Daleko neka je od nas da ostavimo Jahvu a služimo drugim bogovima. ¹⁷ Jahve, Bog naš, izveo je nas i naše oce iz Egipta, iz doma robovanja, i on je pred našim očima učinio velika čudesa i čuvao nas cijelim putem kojim smo išli i među svim narodima kroz koje smo prolazili. ¹⁸ Još više: Jahve je ispred nas protjerao sve narode i Amorejce, koji su živjeli u ovoj zemlji. I mi ćemo služiti Jahvi jer je on Bog naš." ¹⁹ Tada reče Jošua narodu: "Vi ne možete služiti Jahvi, jer je on Bog sveti, Bog ljubomorni, koji ne može podnijeti vaših prijestupa ni vaših grijeha. ²⁰ Ako ostavite Jahvu da biste služili tuđim bogovima, okrenut će se protiv vas i uništit će vas, pošto vam je bio dobro činio." ²¹ A narod odgovori Jošui: "Ne, mi ćemo služiti Jahvi!" ²² Na to će Jošua narodu: "Sami ste protiv sebe svjedoci da ste izabrali Jahvu da mu služite." Odgovoriše mu: "Svjedoci smo." ²³ "Maknite, dakle, tuđe bogove koji su među vama i priklonite svoja srca Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu." ²⁴ Odgovori narod Jošui: "Služit ćemo Jahvi, Bogu svojemu, i glas ćemo njegov slušati." ²⁵ Tako sklopi Jošua toga dana Savez s narodom i utvrdi mu uredbu i zakon. Bilo je to u Šekemu. ²⁶ Jošua upisa te riječi u Knjigu zakona Božjega. Zatim uze velik kamen i stavi ga ondje pod hrast koji bijaše u svetištu Jahvinu. ²⁷ Zatim reče Jošua svemu narodu: "Gle, ovaj kamen neka nam bude svjedokom jer je čuo riječi što ih je govorio Jahve; on će biti svjedok da ne zatajite Boga svoga." ²⁸ Tada Jošua otpusti narod, svakoga na njegovu baštinu.

Tedy odpověděli: Svědkové jsme. ²³ Jimž on řekl: Odvrztež tedy nyní bohy cizozemců, kteříž jsou u prostřed vás, a nakloňte srdcí svých k Hospodinu Bohu Izraelskému. ²⁴ Odpověděl lid Jozue: Hospodinu Bohu našemu sloužiti a hlasu jeho poslouchati budeme. ²⁵ A tak učinil Jozue toho dne smlouvu s lidem, a předložil jim ustanovení a soudy v Sichem. ²⁶ A zapsal Jozue slova ta do knihy zákona Božího; vzav také kámen veliký, postavil jej tu pod dubem, kterýž byl u svatyně Hospodinovy. ²⁷ I řekl Jozue všemu lidu: Aj, kámen tento bude mezi námi na svědectví, nebo on slyšel všecka slova Hospodinova, kteráž mluvil s námi, a bude na svědectví proti vám, abyste snad neklamali proti Bohu svému. ²⁸ A rozpustil Jozue lid, jednoho každého do dědictví jeho.

Mutta minä ja minun huoneeni palvelemme Herraa. ¹⁶ Niin vastasi kansa ja sanoi: pois se meistä, että me hylkäisimme Herran ja palvelisimme muita jumalia. ¹⁷ Sillä Herra meidän Jumalamme on se, joka johdatti meitä ja meidän isiämme Egyptin maalta orjuuden huoneesta, ja joka teki meidän silmäimme edessä niitä suuria tunnusmerkkejä, ja varjeli meitä kaikella matkalla, jota me vaelsimme, ja kaikkein kansain seassa, joiden lävitse me kävimme. ¹⁸ Ja Herra ajoi meidän edestämme ulos kaiken kansan ja Amorilaiset, jotka asuivat maassa: niin me myös palvelemme Herraa, sillä hän on meidän Jumalamme. ¹⁹ Ja Josua sanoi kansalle: ette taida palvella Herraa, sillä hän on pyhä Jumala ja hän on kiivas Jumala, joka ei säästä teidän syntejänne. ²⁰ Kuin te hylkäätte Herran ja palvelette muukalaisia jumalia, niin hän kääntää hänensä, ja tekee teille pahaa, ja hukuttaa teitä sen jälkeen, kuin hän teille hyvää teki. ²¹ Niin sanoi kansa Josualle: ei suinkaan, vaan me palvelemme Herraa. ²² Ja Josua sanoi kansalle: te olette teillenne todistajat, että te valitsitte teillenne Herran, palvellaksenne häntä. Ja he sanoivat: me olemme todistajat. ²³ Niin pankaat nyt teidän tyköänne muukalaiset jumalat pois, jotka teidän seassanne ovat, ja kumartakaat teidän sydämenne Herran Israelin Jumalan tykö. ²⁴ Ja kansa sanoi Josualle: me tahdomme palvella Herraa meidän Jumalaamme, ja olemme hänen äänellensä kuuliaiset. ²⁵ Niin Josua teki sinä päivänä liiton kansan kanssa, ja asetti säädyn ja oikeuden heidän eteensä Sikemissä. ²⁶ Ja Josua kirjoitti kaikki nämä sanat Jumalan lakikirjaan, ja otti suuren kiven, ja pystytti sen siinä tammen alla, joka oli Herran pyhässä. ²⁷ Ja Josua sanoi kaikelle kansalle: katso, tämä kivi pitää oleman todistus meidän vaiheellamme; sillä hän on kuullut kaikki Herran puheet, jotka hän meidän kanssamme puhunut on, ja pitää oleman teille todistus, ettette teidän Jumalaanne kiellä. ²⁸ Ja niin antoi Josua kansan mennä, itsekunkin perintöönsä.

Mutta minä ja minun perheeni palvelemme Herraa." ¹⁶ Silloin kansa vastasi ja sanoi: "Pois se, että me hylkäisimme Herran ja palvelisimme muita jumalia! ¹⁷ Sillä Herra on meidän Jumalamme, hän, joka johdatti meidät ja meidän isämme pois Egyptin maasta, orjuuden pesästä, ja joka teki meidän silmiemme edessä suuret tunnusteot ja aina varjeli meitä sillä tiellä, jota me vaelsimme, ja kaikkien niiden kansojen keskellä, joiden kautta me kuljimme. ¹⁸ Ja Herra karkoitti meidän tieltämme kaikki ne kansat, myös amorilaiset, jotka asuivat tässä maassa. Sentähden me palvelemme Herraa, sillä hän on meidän Jumalamme." ¹⁹ Niin Joosua sanoi kansalle: "Te ette voi palvella Herraa, sillä hän on pyhä Jumala; hän on kiivas Jumala, hän ei anna anteeksi teidän rikoksianne ja syntejänne. ²⁰ Jos te hylkäätte Herran ja palvelette vieraita jumalia, niin hän kääntyy pois ja antaa teille käydä pahoin ja tekee lopun teistä, sen sijaan että hän on ennen antanut teille käydä hyvin." ²¹ Mutta kansa sanoi Joosualle: "Ei niin, vaan me palvelemme Herraa". ²² Silloin Joosua sanoi kansalle: "Te olette itse todistajina itseänne vastaan, että olette valinneet itsellenne Herran palvellaksenne häntä". He vastasivat: "Olemme". ²³ Hän sanoi: "Niin poistakaa nyt vieraat jumalat, joita on teidän keskuudessanne, ja taivuttakaa sydämenne Herran, Israelin Jumalan, puoleen". ²⁴ Kansa vastasi Joosualle: "Herraa, meidän Jumalaamme, me palvelemme, ja hänen ääntänsä me kuulemme". ²⁵ Niin Joosua teki sinä päivänä liiton kansan kanssa ja antoi heille Sikemissä käskyt ja oikeudet. ²⁶ Ja Joosua kirjoitti nämä puheet Jumalan lain kirjaan, ja hän otti suuren kiven ja pystytti sen sinne, tammen alle, joka oli Herran pyhäkössä. ²⁷ Ja Joosua sanoi kaikelle kansalle: "Katso, tämä kivi on oleva todistajana meitä vastaan, sillä se on kuullut kaikki Herran sanat, jotka hän on meille puhunut, ja se on oleva todistajana teitä vastaan, ettette kieltäisi Jumalaanne". ²⁸ Sitten Joosua päästi kansan menemään, kunkin perintöosalleen.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Seandainya kamu tidak mau mengabdi kepada TUHAN, ambillah keputusan hari ini juga kepada siapa kamu mau mengabdi: kepada ilah-ilah lain yang disembah oleh nenek moyangmu di Mesopotamia dahulu atau kepada ilah-ilah orang Amori yang negerinya kamu tempati sekarang. Tetapi kami--saya dan keluarga saya--akan mengabdi hanya kepada TUHAN." ¹⁶ Maka umat Israel itu menjawab, "Kami sekali-kali tidak akan meninggalkan TUHAN untuk mengabdi kepada ilah-ilah lain! ¹⁷ TUHAN Allah kitalah yang membebaskan para leluhur kita dan kita sendiri dari perbudakan di Mesir. Kita sudah melihat keajaiban-keajaiban yang dibuat oleh TUHAN. Selalu TUHAN melindungi kita dalam semua perjalanan kita, melewati negeri-negeri asing. ¹⁸ Dan ketika kita memasuki negeri ini, TUHAN mengusir semua orang Amori yang tinggal di sini. Jadi, kami mau mengabdi kepada TUHAN, sebab Dialah Allah kita!" ¹⁹ Lalu Yosua berkata, "Tetapi kalian barangkali tidak akan sanggup mengabdi kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia Allah yang kudus, Yang Maha Esa. Ia tidak mau ada saingan. Kalau kamu meninggalkan Dia dan mengabdi kepada ilah-ilah lain, Ia tidak akan mengampuni dosamu. Sebaliknya, Ia akan melawan dan menghukum kalian. Ia akan membinasakan kalian, sekalipun dahulu Ia baik kepadamu." ²⁰ (24:19) ²¹ Maka orang-orang Israel itu menyahut, "Tidak! Kami tidak akan mengabdi kepada ilah-ilah lain. Kami akan mengabdi hanya kepada TUHAN!" ²² Lalu Yosua berkata, "Nah, kalian sendirilah saksinya bahwa kalian sudah memutuskan untuk mengabdi hanya kepada TUHAN." "Benar," sahut mereka, "kami sendirilah saksinya." ²³ "Kalau begitu, singkirkanlah ilah-ilah bangsa-bangsa lain yang ada padamu itu," kata Yosua, "dan berjanjilah bahwa kalian akan setia kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel." ²⁴ Lalu orang-orang itu berkata kepada Yosua, "Kami akan mengabdi hanya kepada TUHAN, Allah kita. Kami akan mentaati perintah-perintah-Nya." ²⁵ Maka pada hari itu di Sikhem Yosua mengadakan perjanjian dengan umat Israel; dan di situ ia memberikan kepada mereka hukum-hukum dan peraturan-peraturan yang harus mereka taati. ²⁶ Semua hukum dan peraturan-peraturan itu ditulisnya di dalam buku Hukum Allah. Kemudian ia mengambil sebuah batu yang besar, lalu menegakkannya di bawah pohon yang besar di tempat yang khusus untuk TUHAN. ²⁷ Sesudah itu berkatalah Yosua kepada semua orang itu, "Batu ini menjadi saksi kita. Semua kata-kata yang diucapkan TUHAN kepada kita, sudah diucapkan di depan batu ini. Jadi, batu inilah yang akan menjadi saksi terhadap kalian, untuk mengingatkan kalian supaya tidak melawan Allahmu." ²⁸ Akhirnya Yosua menyuruh orang-orang itu pulang; lalu mereka semuanya kembali ke tanah mereka masing-masing.

Nós também serviremos ao Senhor, porquanto ele é nosso Deus. ¹⁹ Então Josué disse ao povo: Não podereis servir ao Senhor, porque é Deus santo, é Deus zeloso, que não perdoará a vossa transgressão nem os vossos pecados. ²⁰ Se abandonardes ao Senhor e servirdes a deuses estranhos, então ele se tornará, e vos fará o mal, e vos consumirá, depois de vos ter feito o bem. ²¹ Disse então o povo a Josué: Não! antes serviremos ao Senhor. ²² Josué, pois, disse ao povo: Sois testemunhas contra vós mesmos e que escolhestes ao Senhor para o servir. Responderam eles: Somos testemunhas. ²³ Agora, pois, - disse Josué - deitai fora os deuses estranhos que há no meio de vós, e inclinai o vosso coração ao Senhor Deus de Israel. ²⁴ Disse o povo a Josué: Serviremos ao Senhor nosso Deus, e obedeceremos à sua voz. ²⁵ Assim fez Josué naquele dia um pacto com o povo, e lhe deu leis e ordenanças em Siquém. ²⁶ E Josué escreveu estas palavras no livro da lei de Deus; e, tomando uma grande pedra, a pôs ali debaixo do carvalho que estava junto ao santuário do Senhor, ²⁷ e disse a todo o povo: Eis que esta pedra será por testemunho contra nós, pois ela ouviu todas as palavras que o Senhor nos falou; pelo que será por testemunho contra vós, para que não negueis o vosso Deus. ²⁸ Então Josué despediu o povo, cada um para a sua herança.
