1. Then Moses continued to speak these words to all Israel,
|
1. And Moses H4872 went H1980 and spoke H1696 H853 these H428 words H1697 unto H413 all H3605 Israel H3478 .
|
|
2. saying, "I am now 120 years old; I can no longer act as your leader. The LORD has told me, 'You will not cross this Jordan.'
|
2. And he said H559 unto H413 them, I H595 am a hundred H3967 and twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 this day H3117 ; I can H3201 no H3808 more H5750 go out H3318 and come in H935 : also the LORD H3068 hath said H559 unto H413 me , Thou shalt not H3808 go over H5674 H853 this H2088 Jordan H3383 .
|
|
3. The LORD your God is the One who will cross ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will drive them out. Joshua is the one who will cross ahead of you, as the LORD has said.
|
3. The LORD H3068 thy God H430 , he H1931 will go over H5674 before H6440 thee, and he H1931 will destroy H8045 H853 these H428 nations H1471 from before H4480 H6440 thee , and thou shalt possess H3423 them: and Joshua H3091 , he H1931 shall go over H5674 before H6440 thee, as H834 the LORD H3068 hath said H1696 .
|
|
4. The LORD will deal with them as He did Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and their land when He destroyed them.
|
4. And the LORD H3068 shall do H6213 unto them as H834 he did H6213 to Sihon H5511 and to Og H5747 , kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 , and unto the land H776 of them, whom H834 H853 he destroyed H8045 .
|
|
5. The LORD will deliver them over to you, and you must do to them exactly as I have commanded you.
|
5. And the LORD H3068 shall give them up H5414 before your face H6440 , that ye may do H6213 unto them according unto all H3605 the commandments H4687 which H834 I have commanded H6680 you.
|
|
6. Be strong and courageous; don't be terrified or afraid of them. For it is the LORD your God who goes with you; He will not leave you or forsake you."
|
6. Be strong H2388 and of a good courage H553 , fear H3372 not H408 , nor H408 be afraid H6206 of H4480 H6440 them: for H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , he H1931 it is that doth go H1980 with H5973 thee ; he will not H3808 fail H7503 thee, nor H3808 forsake H5800 thee.
|
|
7. Moses then summoned Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you will go with this people into the land the LORD swore to give to their fathers. You will enable them to take possession of it.
|
7. And Moses H4872 called H7121 unto Joshua H3091 , and said H559 unto H413 him in the sight H5869 of all H3605 Israel H3478 , Be strong H2388 and of a good courage H553 : for H3588 thou H859 must go H935 with H854 this H2088 people H5971 unto H413 the land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 hath sworn H7650 unto their fathers H1 to give H5414 them ; and thou H859 shalt cause them to inherit H5157 it.
|
|
8. The LORD is the One who will go before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged."
|
8. And the LORD H3068 , he H1931 it is that doth go H1980 before H6440 thee; he H1931 will be H1961 with thee H5973 , he will not H3808 fail H7503 thee, neither H3808 forsake H5800 thee: fear H3372 not H3808 , neither H3808 be dismayed H2865 .
|
|
9. Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the LORD's covenant, and to all the elders of Israel.
|
9. And Moses H4872 wrote H3789 H853 this H2063 law H8451 , and delivered H5414 it unto H413 the priests H3548 the sons H1121 of Levi H3878 , which bore H5375 H853 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 , and unto H413 all H3605 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
10. Moses commanded them, "At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of debt cancellation, during the Festival of Booths,
|
10. And Moses H4872 commanded H6680 them, saying H559 , At the end H4480 H7093 of every seven H7651 years H8141 , in the solemnity H4150 of the year H8141 of release H8059 , in the feast H2282 of tabernacles H5521 ,
|
|
11. when all Israel assembles in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He chooses, you are to read this law aloud before all Israel.
|
11. When all H3605 Israel H3478 is come H935 to appear H7200 H853 before H6440 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 in the place H4725 which H834 he shall choose H977 , thou shalt read H7121 H853 this H2063 law H8451 before H5048 all H3605 Israel H3478 in their hearing H241 .
|
|
12. Gather the people-- men, women, children, and foreigners living within your gates-- so that they may listen and learn to fear the LORD your God and be careful to follow all the words of this law.
|
12. Gather the people together H6950 H853 H5971 , men H376 , and women H802 , and children H2945 , and thy stranger H1616 that H834 is within thy gates H8179 , that H4616 they may hear H8085 , and that H4616 they may learn H3925 , and fear H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 your God H430 , and observe H8104 to do H6213 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of this H2063 law H8451 :
|
|
13. Then their children who do not know the law will listen and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess."
|
13. And that their children H1121 , which H834 have not H3808 known H3045 any thing , may hear H8085 , and learn H3925 to fear H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 your God H430 , as long as H3605 H3117 H834 ye H859 live H2416 in H5921 the land H127 whither H834 H8033 ye H859 go over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 to possess H3423 it.
|
|
14. The LORD said to Moses, "The time of your death is now approaching. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, so that I may commission him." When Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting,
|
14. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Behold H2005 , thy days H3117 approach H7126 that thou must die H4191 : call H7121 H853 Joshua H3091 , and present yourselves H3320 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 , that I may give him a charge H6680 . And Moses H4872 and Joshua H3091 went H1980 , and presented themselves H3320 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 .
|
|
15. the LORD appeared at the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the cloud stood at the entrance to the tent.
|
15. And the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 in the tabernacle H168 in a pillar H5982 of a cloud H6051 : and the pillar H5982 of the cloud H6051 stood H5975 over H5921 the door H6607 of the tabernacle H168 .
|
|
16. The LORD said to Moses, "You are about to rest with your fathers, and this people will soon commit adultery with the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will abandon Me and break the covenant I have made with them.
|
16. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Behold H2009 , thou shalt sleep H7901 with H5973 thy fathers H1 ; and this H2088 people H5971 will rise up H6965 , and go a whoring H2181 after H310 the gods H430 of the strangers H5236 of the land H776 , whither H834 H8033 they H1931 go H935 to be among H7130 them , and will forsake H5800 me , and break H6565 H853 my covenant H1285 which H834 I have made H3772 with H854 them.
|
|
17. My anger will burn against them on that day; I will abandon them and hide My face from them so that they will become easy prey. Many troubles and afflictions will come to them. On that day they will say, 'Haven't these troubles come to us because our God is no longer with us?'
|
17. Then my anger H639 shall be kindled H2734 against them in that H1931 day H3117 , and I will forsake H5800 them , and I will hide H5641 my face H6440 from H4480 them , and they shall be H1961 devoured H398 , and many H7227 evils H7451 and troubles H6869 shall befall H4672 them ; so that they will say H559 in that H1931 day H3117 , Are not H3808 these H428 evils H7451 come upon H4672 us, because H5921 H3588 our God H430 is not H369 among H7130 us?
|
|
18. I will certainly hide My face on that day because of all the evil they have done by turning to other gods.
|
18. And I H595 will surely hide H5641 H5641 my face H6440 in that H1931 day H3117 for H5921 all H3605 the evils H7451 which H834 they shall have wrought H6213 , in that H3588 they are turned H6437 unto H413 other H312 gods H430 .
|
|
19. Therefore write down this song for yourselves and teach it to the Israelites; have them recite it, so that this song may be a witness for Me against the Israelites.
|
19. Now H6258 therefore write H3789 H853 ye this H2063 song H7892 for you , and teach H3925 it H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 : put H7760 it in their mouths H6310 , that H4616 this H2063 song H7892 may be H1961 a witness H5707 for me against the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
20. When I bring them into the land I swore to give their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, they will eat their fill and prosper. They will turn to other gods and worship them, despising Me and breaking My covenant.
|
20. For H3588 when I shall have brought H935 them into H413 the land H127 which H834 I swore H7650 unto their fathers H1 , that floweth H2100 with milk H2461 and honey H1706 ; and they shall have eaten H398 and filled themselves H7646 , and waxen fat H1878 ; then will they turn H6437 unto H413 other H312 gods H430 , and serve H5647 them , and provoke H5006 me , and break H6565 H853 my covenant H1285 .
|
|
21. And when many troubles and afflictions come to them, this song will testify against them, because their descendants will not have forgotten it. For I know what they are prone to do, even before I bring them into the land I swore to give them."
|
21. And it shall come to pass H1961 , when H3588 many H7227 evils H7451 and troubles H6869 are befallen H4672 them , that this H2063 song H7892 shall testify H6030 against H6440 them as a witness H5707 ; for H3588 it shall not H3808 be forgotten H7911 out of the mouths H4480 H6310 of their seed H2233 : for H3588 I know H3045 H853 their imagination H3336 which H834 they H1931 go about H6213 , even now H3117 , before H2962 I have brought H935 them into H413 the land H776 which H834 I swore H7650 .
|
|
22. So Moses wrote down this song on that day and taught it to the Israelites.
|
22. Moses H4872 therefore wrote H3789 H853 this H2063 song H7892 the same H1931 day H3117 , and taught H3925 it H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
23. The LORD commissioned Joshua son of Nun, "Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land I swore to them, and I will be with you."
|
23. And he gave H6680 H853 Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 a charge , and said H559 , Be strong H2388 and of a good courage H553 : for H3588 thou H859 shalt bring H935 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 into H413 the land H776 which H834 I swore H7650 unto them : and I H595 will be H1961 with H5973 thee.
|
|
24. When Moses had finished writing down on a scroll every single word of this law,
|
24. And it came to pass H1961 , when Moses H4872 had made an end H3615 of writing H3789 H853 the words H1697 of this H2063 law H8451 in H5921 a book H5612 , until H5704 they were finished H8552 ,
|
|
25. he commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the LORD's covenant,
|
25. That Moses H4872 commanded H6680 H853 the Levites H3881 , which bore H5375 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 , saying H559 ,
|
|
26. "Take this book of the law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, so that it may remain there as a witness against you.
|
26. Take H3947 H853 this H2088 book H5612 of the law H8451 , and put H7760 it in the side H4480 H6654 of the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 , that it may be H1961 there H8033 for a witness H5707 against thee.
|
|
27. For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you are rebelling against the LORD now, while I am still alive, how much more will you rebel after I am dead!
|
27. For H3588 I H595 know H3045 H853 thy rebellion H4805 , and thy stiff H7186 neck H6203 : behold H2005 , while I am yet H5750 alive H2416 with H5973 you this day H3117 , ye have been H1961 rebellious H4784 against H5973 the LORD H3068 ; and how H3588 much more H637 after H310 my death H4194 ?
|
|
28. Assemble all your tribal elders and officers before me, so that I may speak these words directly to them and call heaven and earth as witnesses against them.
|
28. Gather H6950 unto H413 me H853 all H3605 the elders H2205 of your tribes H7626 , and your officers H7860 , that I may speak H1696 H853 these H428 words H1697 in their ears H241 , and call H5749 H853 heaven H8064 and earth H776 to record against them.
|
|
29. For I know that after my death you will become completely corrupt and turn from the path I have commanded you. Disaster will come to you in the future, because you will do what is evil in the LORD's sight, infuriating Him with what your hands have made."
|
29. For H3588 I know H3045 that after H310 my death H4194 ye will utterly corrupt H7843 H7843 yourselves , and turn aside H5493 from H4480 the way H1870 which H834 I have commanded H6680 you ; and evil H7451 will befall H7122 you in the latter H319 days H3117 ; because H3588 ye will do H6213 H853 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 , to provoke him to anger H3707 through the work H4639 of your hands H3027 .
|
|
30. Then Moses recited aloud every single word of this song to the entire assembly of Israel:
|
30. And Moses H4872 spoke H1696 in the ears H241 of all H3605 the congregation H6951 of Israel H3478 H853 the words H1697 of this H2063 song H7892 , until H5704 they were ended H8552 .
