23：3耶和华你们的神因你们的缘故向那些国所行的一切事，你们亲眼看见了，因那为你们争战的是耶和华你们的神。
And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you； for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you。
23：4我所剪除和所剩下的各国，从约旦河起到日落之处的大海，我已经拈阄分给你们各支派为业。
Behold； I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain； to be an inheritance for your tribes； from Jordan； with all the nations that I have cut off； even unto the great sea westward。
23：5耶和华你们的神必将他们从你们面前赶出去，使他们离开你们，你们就必得他们的地为业，正如耶和华你们的神所应许的。
And the LORD your God； he shall expel them from before you； and drive them from out of your sight； and ye shall possess their land； as the LORD your God hath promised unto you。
23：6所以，你们要大大壮胆，谨守遵行写在摩西律法书上的一切话，不可偏离左右。
Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses； that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left；
23：7不可与你们中间所剩下的这些国民搀杂。他们的神，你们不可提他的名，不可指着他起誓，也不可事奉，叩拜。
That ye e not among these nations； these that remain among you； neither make mention of the name of their gods； nor cause to swear by them； neither serve them； nor bow yourselves unto them：
23：8只要照着你们到今日所行的，专靠耶和华你们的神。
But cleave unto the LORD your God； as ye have done unto this day。
23：9因为耶和华已经把又大又强的国民从你们面前赶出。直到今日，没有一人在你们面前删立得住。
For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong： but as for you； no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day。
23：10你们一人必追赶千人，因耶和华你们的神照他所应许的，为你们争战。
One man of you shall chase a thousand： for the LORD your God； he it is that fighteth for you； as he hath promised you。
23：11你们要分外谨慎，爱耶和华你们的神。
Take good heed therefore unto yourselves； that ye love the LORD your God。
23：12你们若稍微转去，与你们中间所剩下的这些国民联络，彼此结亲，互相往来，
Else if ye do in any wise go back； and cleave unto the remnant of these nations； even these that remain among you； and shall make marriages with them； and go in unto them； and they to you：
23：13你们要确实知道，耶和华你们的神必不再将他们从你们眼前赶出。他们却要成为你们的网罗，机槛，肋上的鞭，眼中的刺，直到你们在耶和华你们神所赐的这美地上灭亡。
Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you； but they shall be snares and traps unto you； and scourges in your sides； and thorns in your eyes； until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you。
23：14我现在要走世人必走的路。你们是一心一意地知道，耶和华你们神所应许赐福与你们的话没有一句落空，都应验在你们身上了。
And； behold； this day I am going the way of all the earth： and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls； that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you； all are e to pass unto you； and not one thing hath failed thereof。
23：15耶和华你们神所应许的一切福气怎样临到你们身上，耶和华也必照样使各样祸患临到你们身上，直到把你们从耶和华你们神所赐的这美地上除灭。
Therefore it shall e to pass； that as all good things are e upon you； which the LORD your God promised you； so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things； until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you。
23：16你们若违背耶和华你们神吩咐你们所守的约，去事奉别神，叩拜他，耶和华的怒气必向你们发作，使你们在他所赐的美地上速速灭亡。
When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God； which he manded you； and have gone and served other gods； and bowed yourselves to them； then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you； and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you。

And I brought your fathers out of Egypt： and ye came unto the sea； and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea。
24：7你们列祖哀求耶和华，他就使你们和埃及人中间黑暗了，又使海水淹没埃及人。我在埃及所行的事，你们亲眼见过。你们在旷野也住了许多年日。
And when they cried unto the LORD； he put darkness between you and the Egyptians； and brought the sea upon them； and covered them； and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt： and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season。

24：9那时，摩押王西拨的儿子巴勒起来攻击以色列人，打发人召了比珥的儿子巴兰来咒诅你们。
Then Balak the son of Zippor； king of Moab； arose and warred against Israel； and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you：
24：10我不肯听巴兰的话，所以他倒为你们连连祝福。这样，我便救你们脱离巴勒的手。
But I would not hearken unto Balaam； therefore he blessed you still： so I delivered you out of his hand。
24：11你们过了约旦河，到了耶利哥。耶利哥人，亚摩利人，比利洗人，迦南人，赫人，革迦撒人，希未人，耶布斯人都与你们争战。我把他们交在你们手里。

24：14现在你们要敬畏耶和华，诚心实意地事奉他，将你们列祖在大河那边和在埃及所事奉的神除掉，去事奉耶和华。
Now therefore fear the LORD； and serve him in sincerity and in truth： and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood； and in Egypt； and serve ye the LORD。
24：15若是你们以事奉耶和华为不好，今日就可以选择所要事奉的，是你们列祖在大河那边所事奉的神呢。是你们所住这地的亚摩利人的神呢。至于我和我家，我们必定事奉耶和华。
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD； choose you this day whom ye will serve； whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood； or the gods of the Amorites； in whose land ye dwell： but as for me and my house； we will serve the LORD。
24：16百姓回答说，我们断不敢离弃耶和华去事奉别神。
And the people answered and said； God forbid that we should forsake the LORD； to serve other gods；
24：17因耶和华我们的神曾将我们和我们列祖从埃及地的为奴之家领出来，在我们眼前行了那些大神迹，在我们所行的道上，所经过的诸国，都保护了我们。
For the LORD our God； he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt； from the house of bondage； and which did those great signs in our sight； and preserved us in all the way wherein we went； and among all the people through whom we passed：
