1 Valiant in war was Jesus the son of Nave, who was successor of Moses among the prophets, who was great according to his name, | 1 Mighty in war was Joshua son of Nun, successor to Moses in the prophetic office, who well deservedhis name, and was a great saviour of the chosen people, wreaking vengeance on the enemies who opposedhim, and so bringing Israel into its inheritance. |
2 Very great for the saving the elect of God, to overthrow the enemies that rose up against them, that he might get the inheritance for Israel. | 2 How splendid he was when, arms uplifted, he brandished his sword against cities! |
3 How great glory did he gain when he lifted up his hands, and stretched out swords against the cities? | 3 Who had ever shown such determination as his? He himself led the battles of the Lord. |
4 Who before him hath so resisted? for the Lord himself brought the enemies. | 4 Was not the sun held back by his hand, and one day drawn out into two? |
5 Was not the sun stopped in his anger, and one day made as two? | 5 He called on the Most High, the Mighty One, while pressing the enemies from all directions, and thegreat Lord answered him with hard and violent hailstones. |
6 He called upon the most high Sovereign when the enemies assaulted him on every side, and the great and holy God heard him by hailstones of exceeding great force. | 6 He fel on that enemy nation, and at the Descent destroyed al resistance to make the nationsacknowledge his warlike prowess and that he was waging war on behalf of the Lord. |
7 He made a violent assault against the nation of his enemies, and in the descent he destroyed the adversaries. | 7 For he was a fol ower of the Mighty One, in the time of Moses showing his devotion, he and Caleb sonof Jephunneh, by opposing the whole community, by preventing the people from sinning, and by silencing themutters of rebel ion. |
8 That the nations might know his power, that it is not easy to fight against God. And he followed the mighty one: | 8 Hence these two alone were preserved out of six hundred thousand men on the march, and broughtinto their inheritance, into a land where milk and honey flow. |
9 And in the days of Moses he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephone, in standing against the enemy, and withholding the people from sins, and appeasing the wicked murmuring. | 9 And the Lord conferred strength on Caleb too, which stayed by him into old age, so that he could investthe highlands of the country which his descendants kept as their inheritance, |
10 And they two being appointed, were delivered out of the danger from among the number of six hundred thousand men on foot, to bring them into their inheritance, into the land that floweth with milk and honey. | 10 so that every Israelite might see that it is good to fol ow the Lord. |
11 And the Lord gave strength also to Caleb, and his strength continued even to his old age, so that he went up to the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an inheritance: | 11 The Judges too, each when he was cal ed, all men whose hearts were never disloyal, who neverturned their backs on the Lord -- may their memory be blessed! |
12 That all the children of Israel might see, that it is good to obey the holy God. | 12 May their bones flourish again from the tomb, and may the names of those il ustrious men be worthilyborne by their sons! |
13 Then all the judges, every one by name, whose heart was not corrupted: who turned not away from the Lord, | 13 Samuel was the beloved of his Lord; prophet of the Lord, he instituted the kingdom, and anointedrulers over his people. |
14 That their memory might be blessed, and their bones spring up out of their place, | 14 By the Law of the Lord he judged the assembly, and the Lord watched over Jacob. |
15 And their name continue for ever, the glory of the holy men remaining unto their children. | 15 By his loyalty he was recognised as a prophet, by his words he was known to be a trustworthy seer. |
16 Samuel the prophet of the Lord, the beloved of the Lord his God, established a new government, and anointed princes over his people. | 16 He cal ed on the Lord, the Mighty One, when his enemies pressed in from all directions, by offering asucking lamb. |
17 By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the God of Jacob beheld, and by his fidelity he was proved a prophet. | 17 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and made his voice heard in a rolling peal; |
18 And he was known to be faithful in his words, because he saw the God of light: | 18 he massacred the leaders of the enemy, and all the rulers of the Philistines. |
19 And called upon the name of the Lord Almighty, in fighting against the enemies who beset him on every side, when he offered a lamb without blemish. | 19 Before the time of his everlasting rest he bore witness to the Lord and his anointed, 'Of no property,not even a pair of sandals, have I ever deprived a soul.' Nor did anyone accuse him. |
20 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard. | 20 And, having fal en asleep, he prophesied again, warning the king of his end; he spoke from the depthsof the earth in prophecy, to blot out the wickedness of the people. |
21 And he crushed the princes of the Tyrians, and all the lords of the Philistines: | |
22 And before the time of the end of his life in the world, he protested before the Lord, and his anointed: money, or any thing else, even to a shoe, he had not taken of any man, and no mall did accuse him. | |
23 And after this he slept, and he made known to the king, and shewed him the end of his life, and he lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy to blot out the wickedness of the nation. |
