God Commissions Joshua

1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. 5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success* wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Joshua Assumes Command

10 And Joshua commanded the officers of the people, 11 “Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’” 12 And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh Joshua said, 13 “Remember the word that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is providing you a place of rest and will give you this land.’ 14 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but all the men of valor among you shall pass over armed before your brothers and shall help them, 15 until the Lord gives rest to your brothers as he has to you, and they also take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and shall possess it, the land that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.” 16 And they answered Joshua, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. 17 Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you, as he was with Moses! 18 Whoever rebels against your commandment and disobeys your words, whatever you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”

الكتاب المقدس

الرب يوصي يشوع

1 بَعْدَ مَوْتِ مُوسَى عَبْدِ الرَّبِّ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونٍ، خَادِمِ مُوسَى: 2 «وَالآنَ وَقَدْ مَاتَ مُوسَى عَبْدِي، قُمْ وَاعْبُرْ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ هَذَا، أَنْتَ وَهَذَا الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنَا وَاهِبُهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. 3 كُلُّ مَوْضِعٍ تَطَؤُهُ بُطُونُ أَقْدَامِكُمْ أَهَبُهُ لَكُمْ، كَمَا وَعَدْتُ مُوسَى، 4 فَتَمْتَدُّ حُدُودُكُمْ مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ النَّقَبِ فِي الْجَنُوبِ إِلَى جِبَالِ لُبْنَانَ فِي الشِّمَالِ، وَمِنَ الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ فِي الْغَرْبِ إِلَى نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ فِي الشَّرْقِ، بِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ بِلادُ الْحِثِّيِّينَ. 5 وَلَنْ يَقْدِرَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُقَاوِمَكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ، لأَنِّي سَأَكُونُ مَعَكَ كَمَا كُنْتُ مَعَ مُوسَى. لَنْ أُهْمِلَكَ وَلَنْ أَتْرُكَكَ. 6 تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي سَتُوَزِّعُ عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي حَلَفْتُ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لَهُمْ. 7 كُنْ شَدِيدَ الْبَأْسِ ثَابِتَ الْقَلْبِ، وَلْتُطِعْ كُلَّ حَرْفٍ مِنْ حُرُوفِ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتِي أَمَرَكَ بِها مُوسَى عَبْدِي. لَا تَحِدْ عَنْهَا يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً، لِكَيْ تُفْلِحَ حَيْثُمَا تَتَوَجَّهُ. 8 وَاظِبْ عَلَى تَرْدِيدِ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَتَأَمَّلْ فِيهَا لَيْلَ نَهَارَ لِتُمَارِسَهَا بِحِرْصٍ بِمُوْجِبِ مَا وَرَدَ فِيهَا فَيُحَالِفَكَ النَّجَاحُ وَالتَّوْفِيقُ. 9 أَلَمْ آمُرْكَ؟ إِذَنْ تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لَا تَرْهَبْ ولا تَجْزَعْ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مَعَكَ حَيْثُمَا تَتَوَجَّهُ». 10 فَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ عُرَفَاءَ الشَّعْبِ أَنْ 11 يَجُولُوا فِي وَسَطِ الْمُخَيَّمِ وَيَأْمُرُوا الشَّعْبَ أَنْ يُجَهِّزُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ طَعَاماً لأَنَّهُمْ بَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَعْبُرُونَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ لِيَدْخُلُوا لاِمْتِلاكِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ لَهُمْ لِيَرِثُوهَا. 12 ثُمَّ قَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْجَادِيِّينَ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى: 13 «اُذْكُرُوا مَا أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهِ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: لَقَدْ أَرَاحَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ وَأَعْطَاكُمْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ. 14 فَلْتَمْكُثْ نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي قَسَمَهَا لَكُمْ مُوسَى وَرَاءَ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، كُلُّ أَبْطَالِ الْحَرْبِ الأَقْوِيَاءِ، فَتَعْبُرُونَ مُدَجَّجِينَ بِالسِّلاحِ أَمَامَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ، لِتُعِينُوهُمْ، 15 حَتَّى يُرِيحَ الرَّبُّ إِخْوَتَكُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ وَيَمْتَلِكُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَهُمْ ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِيرَاثِكُمُ الَّتِي قَسَمَهَا لَكُمْ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ فِي مَا وَرَاءَ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ شَرْقاً وَتَمْتَلِكُونَهَا». 16 فَأَجَابُوا يَشُوعَ: «كُلُّ مَا أَمَرْتَنَا بِهِ نُنَفِّذُهُ، وَحَيْثُمَا تُرْسِلْنَا نَذْهَبْ. 17 وَكَمَا أَطَعْنَا مُوسَى نُطِيعُكَ، وَلْيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مَعَكَ كَمَا كَانَ مَعَ مُوسَى. 18 وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَعْصَى أَمْرَكَ وَلا يُطِيعُ كَلامَكَ يَكُونُ الْقَتْلُ جَزَاءَهُ. إِنَّمَا تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ».
