1 Et factum est, ut post mortem Moysi servi Domini loqueretur Dominus ad Iosue filium Nun ministrum Moysi et diceret ei:	1 And after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, it happened that the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and he said to him:
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.	2 “Moses, my servant, has died. Rise up, and cross this Jordan, you and all the people with you, into the land which I will give to the sons of Israel.
3 Omnem locum, quem calcaverit vestigium pedis vestri, vobis tradidi, sicut locutus sum Moysi.	3 I will deliver to you every place that the step of your foot will tread upon, just as I said to Moses.
4 A deserto et Libano isto usque ad fluvium magnum Euphraten, omnis terra Hetthaeorum usque ad mare Magnum contra solis occasum erit terminus vester.	4 From the desert and from Lebanon, even to the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, as far as the great sea opposite the setting of the sun, shall be your border.
5 Nullus tibi poterit resistere cunctis diebus vitae tuae: sicut fui cum Moyse, ero et tecum; non dimittam nec derelinquam te.	5 No one will be able to resist you during all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you. I will not leave you, nor will I forsake you.
6 Confortare et esto robustus; tu enim sorte divides populo huic terram, pro qua iuravi patribus suis, ut traderem eam illis.	6 Be strengthened and be steadfast. For you shall divide by lot, to this people, the land about which I swore to their fathers that I would deliver it to them.
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.	7 Therefore, be strengthened and be very steadfast, so that you may observe and accomplish the entire law, which Moses, my servant, instructed to you. You may not turn aside from it to the right, nor to the left. So may you understand all that you should do.
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.	8 The book of this law shall not depart from your mouth. Instead, you shall meditate upon it, day and night, so that you may observe and do all the things that are written in it. Then you shall direct your way and understand it.
9 Nonne praecepi tibi: Confortare et esto robustus, noli metuere et noli timere, quoniam tecum est Dominus Deus tuus in omnibus, ad quaecumque perrexeris?”.	9 Behold, I am instructing you. Be strengthened, and be steadfast. Do not dread, and do not fear. For the Lord your God is with you in all things, wherever you may go.”
10 Praecepitque Iosue praefectis populi dicens: “ Transite per medium castrorum et imperate populo ac dicite:	10 And Joshua instructed the leaders of the people, saying: “Cross through the midst of the camp, and command the people, and say:
11 Praeparate vobis cibaria, quoniam post diem tertium transibitis Iordanem hunc et intrabitis ad possidendam terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis ”.	11 ‘Prepare your food supplies. For after the third day, you shall cross the Jordan, and you shall enter so as to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.’ ”
12 Rubenitis quoque et Gaditis et dimidiae tribui Manasse ait:	12 Likewise, he said to the Reubenites and to the Gadites, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh:
13 “ Mementote sermonis, quem praecepit vobis Moyses famulus Domini dicens: “Dominus Deus vester dedit vobis requiem et terram hanc”.	13 “Remember the words, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed to you, saying: ‘The Lord your God has given you rest, and has given you all the land.’
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,	14 Your wives and sons, as well as the cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses delivered to you beyond the Jordan. But as for you, pass over with weapons, before your brothers, all you who are strong of hand, and fight on their behalf,
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 ”.	15 until the Lord gives rest to your brothers, just as he has given to you, and until they also possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to them. And so shall you be returned to the land of your possession. And you shall live in the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to you beyond the Jordan, opposite the rising of the sun.”
16 Responderuntque ad Iosue atque dixerunt: “ Omnia, quae praecepisti nobis, faciemus et, quocumque miseris, ibimus.	16 And they responded to Joshua, and they said: “All that you have instructed to us, we shall do. And wherever you will send us, we shall go.
17 Sicut oboedivimus in cunctis Moysi, ita oboediemus et tibi; tantum sit Dominus Deus tuus tecum, sicut fuit cum Moyse.	17 Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so shall we obey you also. But may the Lord your God be with you, just as he was with Moses.
18 Quicumque contradixerit ori tuo et non oboedierit cunctis sermonibus, quos praeceperis ei, moriatur; tu tantum confortare et viriliter age ”.	18 Whoever will contradict your mouth, and whoever will not obey all of your words, which you will instruct to him, let him die. But may you be strengthened, and may you act manfully.”
