23 — Giosuè

1And when a long time was passed, after that the Lord had given peace to Israel, all the nations round about being subdued, and Josue being now old, and far advanced in years:Passato poi molto tempo dopo che il Signore avea dato la pace ad Israele, e sottomesse a lui tutte le circonvicine nazioni, essendo già Giosuè assai vecchio e di età decrepita,AND when much time was passed, after that our Lord had geuen peace to Israel, al the nations being subdewed round about, and Iosue now verie ancient, and of a great age:Evoluto autem multo tempore, postquam pacem dederat Dominus Israëli, subjectis in gyro nationibus universis, et Josue jam longævo, et persenilis ætatis, 2Josue called for all Israel, and for the elders, and for the princes, and for the judges, and for the masters, and said to them: I am old, and far advanced in years,Chiamò a sé tutto Israele, e i seniori, e i principi, e i capitani, e i magistrati, e disse loro: Io son vecchio e di età cadente:Iosue called al Israel, and the elders, and the princes and the iudges, and the maisters, and said to them: I am old, and farre gone in age:vocavit Josue omnem Israëlem, majoresque natu, et principes ac duces, et magistros, dixitque ad eos: Ego senui, et progressioris ætatis sum: 3And you see all that the Lord your God hath done to all the nations round about, how he himself hath fought for you:E voi vedete tutto quello che il Signore Dio vostro ha fatto a tutte le vicine nazioni, e com'egli stesso ha combattuto per voi:and you see al thinges, that our Lord your God hath done to al the nations round about, how him selfe hath fought for you:vosque cernitis omnia, quæ fecerit Dominus Deus vester cunctis per circuitum nationibus, quomodo pro vobis ipse pugnaverit: 4And now since he hath divided to you by lot all the land, from the east of the Jordan unto the great sea, and many nations yet remain:E come adesso ha divisa a sorte tra voi tutta la terra dalla parte orientale del Giordano fino al mar grande, e come vi rimangan tuttora molte nazioni:and now because he hath by lotte diuided to you al the Land, from the East part of Iordan vnto the great sea, and manie nations yet remaine:et nunc quia vobis sorte divisit omnem terram, ab orientali parte Jordanis usque ad mare magnum, multæque adhuc supersunt nationes: 5The Lord your God will destroy them, and take them away from before your face, and you shall possess the land as he hath promised you.Il Signore Dio vostro le spargerà, e ve le leverà dagli occhi, e possederete il paese nel modo ch'ei vi ha promesso:Our Lord your God wil destroy them, and take them away from your face, and you shal possesse the Land, as he hath promised you.Dominus Deus vester disperdet eas et auferet a facie vestra, et possidebitis terram, sicut vobis pollicitus est.

6Only take courage, and be careful to observe all things that are written in the book of the law of Moses: and turn not aside from them neither to the right hand nor to the left:Soltanto che siate costanti, e solleciti in osservare tutte le cose che sono scritte nel libro della legge di Mosè: e non pieghiate nè a destra, nè a sinistra:Onlie take courage, and be careful, that you keepe al thinges which be written in the volume of the law of Moyses: and decline not from them neither to the right hand nor to the left:Tantum confortamini, et estote solliciti, ut custodiatis cuncta quæ scripta sunt in volumine legis Moysi: et non declinetis ab eis neque ad dexteram neque ad sinistram: 7Lest after that you are come in among the Gentiles, who will remain among you, you should swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore them:Onde non avvenga che mescolandovi colle nazioni che saranno tra di voi, facciate giuramento nel nome de' loro dei, e serviate a questi, e gli adoriate:lest after that you are entred in to the Gentiles, which shal be among you, you sweare in the name of their goddes, and serue them, and adore them:ne postquam intraveritis ad gentes quæ inter vos futuræ sunt, juretis in nomine deorum earum, et serviatis eis, et adoretis illos: 8But cleave ye unto the Lord your God, as you have done until this day.Ma stiate uniti al Signore Dio vostro, come avete fatto fino a questo giorno.but cleaue to our Lord your God: which you haue done vntil this day.sed adhæreatis Domino Deo vestro: quod fecistis usque in diem hanc. 9And then the Lord God will take away before your eyes nations that are great and very strong, and no man shall be able to resist you.E allora il Signore Dio sterminerà dal vostro cospetto nazioni grandi e fortissime, e nissuno potrà resistere a voi.And then our Lord God wil take away in your sight the great nations and very strong, and no man shal be able to resist you.Et tunc auferet Dominus Deus in conspectu vestro gentes magnas et robustissimas, et nullus vobis resistere poterit. 10One of you shall chase a thousand men of the enemies: because the Lord your God himself will fight for you, as he hath promised.Uno di voi metterà in fuga mille nemici: perchè il Signore Dio vostro combatterà egli per voi, conforme ha promesso.One of you shal pursew a thousand men of the enemies: because our Lord your God him self wil fight for you, as he hath promised.Unus e vobis persequetur hostium mille viros: quia Dominus Deus vester pro vobis ipse pugnabit, sicut pollicitus est.

Lord your God wil not destroy them before your face, but they shal be a pitte and a snare for you, and a stumbling blocke at your side, and stakes in your eies, til he take you away and destroy you from this excellent Land, which he hath deliuered to you.jam nunc scitote quod Dominus Deus vester non eas deleat ante faciem vestram, sed sint vobis in foveam ac laqueum, et offendiculum ex latere vestro, et sudes in oculis vestris, donec vos auferat atque disperdat de terra hac optima, quam tradidit vobis. 14Behold this day I am going into the way of all the earth, and you shall know with all your mind that of all the words which the Lord promised to perform for you, not one hath failed,Ecco che io oggi m'incammino verso il comun termine degli uomini, e voi riflettete con tutto l'animo, come di tutte le parole che il Signore promise di adempiere a favor vostro, una sola non è rimisa senza effetto.Behold I this day enter into the way of al flesh, and you shal know with al your minde that al the wordes, which our Lord promised that he would performe to you, one is not escaped without effect.En ego hodie ingredior viam universæ terræ, et toto animo cognoscetis quod de omnibus verbis, quæ se Dominus præstiturum vobis esse pollicitus est, unum non præterierit incassum. 15Therefore as he hath fulfilled in deed, what he promised, and all things prosperous have come: so will he bring upon you all the evils he hath threatened, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you,Siccome adunque egli ha eseguite di fatto tutte le sue promesse e tutto è andato a seconda; così egli manderà sopra di voi tutti i mali, dei quali vi ha minacciati, fino a tanto che vi abbia levati, e dispersi da quest'ottima terra, che vi ha data.Therfore as he hath fulfilled in deede that which he promised, and al thinges prosperous haue come: so wil he bring vpon you what euils soeuer he hath threatened, til he take you away and destroy you from this excellent Land, which he hath deliuered to you,Sicut ergo implevit opere quod promisit, et prospera cuncta venerunt: sic adducet super vos quidquid malorum comminatus est, donec vos auferat atque disperdat de terra hac optima, quam tradidit vobis, 16When you shall have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he hath made with you, and shall have served strange gods, and adored them: then shall the indignation of the Lord rise up quickly and speedily against you, and you shall be taken away from this excellent land, which he hath delivered to you.Perchè avrete violato il patto fermato dal Signore Dio vostro con voi, e avrete servito agli dei stranieri, e gli avrete adorati: il furor del Signore sorgerà subitamente contro di voi, e sarete levati da questa terra ottima che egli vi ha data.because you haue transgressed the couenant of our Lord your God, which he hath made with you, and haue serued strange goddes, and adored them: quickly and in hast shal the furie of our Lord ryse against you, and you shal be taken away from this excellent Land, which he hath deliuered to you.eo quod præterieritis pactum Domini Dei vestri, quod pepigit vobiscum, et servieritis diis alienis, ad adoraveritis eos: cito atque velociter consurget in vos furor Domini, et auferemini ab hac terra optima, quam tradidit vobis.
