Liber Iosue

Iosue, chapter 1, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 1 Vulgate

   1 Et factum est, ut post mortem Moysi servi Domini loqueretur Dominus ad Iosue filium Nun ministrum Moysi et diceret ei:
   2 "Moyses servus meus mortuus est; nunc igitur surge et transi Iordanem istum, tu et omnis populus iste, in terram, quam ego dabo filiis Israel.
   3 Omnem locum, quem calcaverit vestigium pedis vestri, vobis tradidi, sicut locutus sum Moysi.
   4 A deserto et Libano isto usque ad fluvium magnum Euphraten, omnis terra Hetthaeorum usque ad mare Magnum contra solis occasum erit terminus vester.
   5 Nullus tibi poterit resistere cunctis diebus vitae tuae: sicut fui cum Moyse, ero et tecum; non dimittam nec derelinquam te.
   6 Confortare et esto robustus; tu enim sorte divides populo huic terram, pro qua iuravi patribus suis, ut traderem eam illis.
   7 Confortare tantum et esto robustus valde, ut custodias et facias iuxta omnem legem, quam praecepit tibi Moyses servus meus. Ne declines ab ea ad dexteram vel ad sinistram, ut prospereris in omnibus, ad quaecumque perrexeris.
   8 Non recedat hoc volumen legis de ore tuo, sed meditaberis in eo diebus ac noctibus, ut custodias et facias iuxta omnia, quae scripta sunt in eo: tunc optime diriges viam tuam et tunc prosperaberis.
   9 Nonne praecepi tibi: Confortare et esto robustus, noli metuere et noli timere, quoniam tecum est Dominus Deus tuus in omnibus, ad quaecumque perrexeris?"
   10 Praecepitque Iosue praefectis populi dicens: "Transite per medium castrorum et imperate populo ac dicite:
   11 Praeparate vobis cibaria, quoniam post diem tertium transibitis Iordanem hunc et intrabitis ad possidendam terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis"
   12 Rubenitis quoque et Gaditis et dimidiae tribui Manasse ait:
   13 "Mementote sermonis, quem praecepit vobis Moyses famulus Domini dicens: "Dominus Deus vester dedit vobis requiem et terram hanc"
   14 Uxores vestrae et filii ac iumenta manebunt in terra, quam tradidit vobis Moyses trans Iordanem; vos autem transibitis armati ante fratres vestros, omnes viri fortes, et adiuvabitis eos,
   15 donec det requiem Dominus fratribus vestris, sicut et vobis dedit, et possideant ipsi quoque terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est eis. Et sic revertemini in terram possessionis vestrae et habitabitis in ea, quam vobis dedit Moyses famulus Domini trans Iordanem contra solis ortum"
   16 Responderuntque ad Iosue atque dixerunt: "Omnia, quae praecepisti nobis, faciemus et, quocumque miseris, ibimus.
   17 Sicut oboedivimus in cunctis Moysi, ita oboediemus et tibi; tantum sit Dominus Deus tuus tecum, sicut fuit cum Moyse.
   18 Quicumque contradixerit ori tuo et non oboedierit cunctis sermonibus, quos praeceperis ei, moriatur; tu tantum confortare et viriliter age"

King James Version

   1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
   2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
   3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
   4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
   5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
   6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
   7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
   8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
   9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
   10 ¶ Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
   11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
   12 ¶ And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
   13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
   14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
   15 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
   16 ¶ And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
   17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
   18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
