| [1]And Moses goeth and speaketh these words unto all Israel, |
[1]Then Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel, |
| [2]and he saith unto them, `A son of a hundred and twenty years [am] I to-day; I am not able any more to go out and to come in, and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou dost not pass over this Jordan, |
[2]And said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty year old this day: I can no more go out and in: also the Lord hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. |
| [3]`Jehovah thy God He is passing over before thee, He doth destroy these nations from before thee, and thou hast possessed them; Joshua -- he is passing over before thee as Jehovah hath spoken, |
[3]The Lord thy God he will go over before thee: he will destroy these nations before thee, and thou shalt possess them. Joshua, he shall go before thee, as the Lord hath said. |
| [4]and Jehovah hath done to them as he hath done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He destroyed. |
[4]And the Lord shall do unto them, as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites: and unto their land whom he destroyed. |
| [5]And Jehovah hath given them before your face, and ye have done to them according to all the command which I have commanded you; |
[5]And the Lord shall give them before you that ye may do unto them according unto every commandment, which I have commanded you. |
| [6]be strong and courageous, fear not, nor be terrified because of them, for Jehovah thy God [is] He who is going with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee.' |
[6]Pluck up your hearts therefore, and be strong: dread not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God himself doth go with thee: he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. |
| [7]And Moses calleth for Joshua, and saith unto him before the eyes of all Israel, `Be strong and courageous, for thou -- thou dost go in with this people unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to their fathers to give to them, and thou -- thou dost cause them to inherit it; |
[7]And Moses called Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be of a good courage and strong: for thou shalt go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers, to give them, and thou shalt give it them to inherit. |
| [8]and Jehovah [is] He who is going before thee, He himself is with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.' |
[8]And the Lord himself doth go before thee: he will be with thee: he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not therefore, nor be discomforted. |
| [9]And Moses writeth this law, and giveth it unto the priests (sons of Levi, those bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah), and unto all the elders of Israel, |
[9]And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi (which bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord) and unto all the elders of Israel, |
| [10]and Moses commandeth them, saying, `At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the feast of booths, |
[10]And Moses commanded them, saying, Every seventh year when the year of freedom shall be in the feast of the tabernacles: |
| [11]in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of Jehovah in the place which He chooseth, thou dost proclaim this law before all Israel, in their ears. |
[11]When all Israel shall come to appear before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel that they may hear it. |
| [12]`Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and thy sojourner who [is] within thy gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared Jehovah your God, and observed to do all the words of this law; |
[12]Gather the people together: men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and keep, and observe all the words of this law, |
| [13]and their sons, who have not known, do hear, and have learned to fear Jehovah your God all the days which ye are living on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.' |
[13]And that their children which have not known it, may hear it, and learn to fear the Lord your God, as long as ye live in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. |
| [14]And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, thy days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the tent of meeting, and I charge him;' and Moses goeth -- Joshua also -- and they station themselves in the tent of meeting, |
[14]Then the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thy days are come, that thou must die: Call Joshua, and stand ye in the tabernacle of the congregation that I may give him a charge. So Moses and Joshua went, and stood in the tabernacle of the congregation. |
| [15]and Jehovah is seen in the tent, in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud standeth at the opening of the tent. |
[15]And the Lord appeared in the tabernacle, in the pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle. |
| [16]And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, thou art lying down with thy fathers, and this people hath risen, and gone a-whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land into the midst of which it hath entered, and forsaken Me, and broken My covenant which I made with it; |
[16]And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of a strange land (whither they go) to dwell therein and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. |
| [17]and Mine anger hath burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it hath been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it hath said in that day, Is it not because that my God is not in my midst -- these evils have found me? |
[17]Wherefore my wrath will wax hot against them at that day, and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them: then they shall be consumed, and many adversities and tribulations shall come upon them: so then they will say, Are not these troubles come upon me, because God is not with me? |
| [18]and I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it hath done, for it hath turned unto other gods. |
[18]But I will surely hide my face in that day, because of all the evil, which they shall commit, in that they are turned unto other gods. |
| [19]`And now, write for you this song, and teach it the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel, |
[19]Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be my witness against the children of Israel. |
| [20]and I bring them in unto the ground which I have sworn to their fathers -- flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned unto other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken My covenant. |
[20]For I will bring them into the land (which I swear unto their fathers) that floweth with milk and honey, and they shall eat, and fill themselves, and wax fat: then shall they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and contemn me, and break my covenant. |
| [21]`And it hath been, when many evils and distresses do meet it, that this song hath testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing to-day, before I bring them in unto the land of which I have sworn.' |
[21]And then when many adversities and tribulations shall come upon them, this song shall answer them to their face as a witness: for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their posterity: for I know their imagination, which they go about even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swear. |
| [22]And Moses writeth this song on that day, and doth teach it the sons of Israel, |
[22]Moses therefore wrote this song the same day and taught it the children of Israel. |
| [23]and He commandeth Joshua son of Nun, and saith, `Be strong and courageous, for thou dost bring in the sons of Israel unto the land which I have sworn to them, and I -- I am with thee.' |
[23]And God gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong, and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land, which I swear unto them, and I will be with thee. |
| [24]And it cometh to pass, when Moses finisheth to write the words of this law on a book till their completion, |
[24]And when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book until he had finished them, |
| [25]that Moses commandeth the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying, |
[25]Then Moses commanded the Levites, which bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, |
| [26]`Take this Book of the Law, and thou hast set it on the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and it hath been there against thee for a witness; |
[26]Take the book of this law, and put ye it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. |
| [27]for I -- I have known thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck; lo, in my being yet alive with you to-day, rebellious ye have been with Jehovah, and also surely after my death. |
[27]For I know thy rebellion and thy stiff neck: behold, I being yet alive with you this day, ye are rebellious against the Lord: how much more than after my death? |
| [28]`Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak in their ears these words, and cause to testify against them the heavens and the earth, |
[28]Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their audience, and call heaven and earth to record against them. |
| [29]for I have known that after my death ye do very corruptly, and have turned aside out of the way which I commanded you, and evil hath met you in the latter end of the days, because ye do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.' |
[29]For I am sure that after my death ye will utterly be corrupt and turn from the way, which I have commanded you: therefore evil will come upon you at the length, because ye will commit evil in the sight of the Lord, by provoking him to anger through the work of your hands. |
| [30]And Moses speaketh in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, till their completion: -- |
[30]Thus Moses spake in the audience of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until he had ended them. |
