约书亚记第23章

《圣经》约书亚记-第23章

书23:1 耶和华使以色列人安静，不与四围的一切仇敌争战，已经多日。约书亚年纪老迈， (串)撒下7:1|书13:1

†[吕]永恒主使以色列人得享平静、没有受四围任何仇敌的骚扰。过了许多年日，约书亚也老迈，上了年纪；

†[思]以后上主使以色列同四周敌人平安无事，这样过了很长的时间，若苏厄已年老，上了年纪，

†[当代]此后，上帝使以色列人得享太平，四境之内都没有战事，约书亚的年纪也很大了。

†[新译]耶和华使以色列人得享平安，不受四围仇敌的骚扰，已经有一段很长的日子；约书亚已经老了，年纪不小了。

†[Wlb]耶和华使以色列人绥安、脱于四周之敌、历日已久、约书亚亦寿高年迈、

†[Xdv]上主使以色列人享受太平，不受四境仇敌的骚扰，已经有一段很长的时间。这时约亚已经很老了；

†[Kjv]And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.

†[Nkjv]Now it came to pass, a long time after the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua was old, advanced in age.

†[BBE]Now after a long time, when the Lord had given Israel rest from wars on every side, and Joshua was old and full of years,

†[GNT] Much later the Lord gave Israel security from their enemies around them. By that time Joshua was very old,

†[NIV]After a long time had passed and the Lord had given Israel rest from all their enemies around them, Joshua, by then old and well advanced in years,

本会注释　　见《约书亚记》序言关于约书亚的年龄。估计以色列人进入迦南时约书亚约八十三岁。如果他比迦勒大五岁，那么征服迦南时他已九十岁了。根据书24:29，他的寿命是一百一十岁。如果我们的推算是正确的，而且本章的事件都发生在约书亚的晚年，那么，上帝已经让以色列人安居了二十年（书21:44；22:4）。这段时间使约书亚发现以色列人最大的危险就是效法迦南人堕落。

书23:2 就把以色列众人的长老、族长、审判官，并官长都召了来，对他们说：“我年纪已经老迈。 (串)书24:1申31:28代上28:1

†[吕]约书亚就把以色列众人、他们的长老、首领、审判官、和官吏、都召了来，对他们说：“我已经老迈，上了年纪。

†[思]便将全以色列人，他们的长老、首领、判官和官长召来，对他们说：“我已年老，上了年纪

†[当代]一天，他召集了以色列的长老、族长、审判官和长官，对他们说：“我已经老了，

†[新译]约书亚就把全体以色列人、他们的长老、首领、审判官和官长，都召了来，对他们说：“我已经老了，年纪不小了。

†[Wlb]乃召以色列众、及其长老族长、士师有司、谓之曰、我寿高年迈、

†[Xdv]他召集全体以色列人、长老、首领、审判官，和官长来，对他们说：“我现在已经老了。

†[Kjv]And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:

†[Nkjv]And Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them: "I am old, advanced in age.

†[BBE]Joshua sent for all Israel, for their responsible men and their chiefs and their judges and their overseers, and said to them, I am old, and full of years:

†[GNT] so he called all Israel, the elders, leaders, judges, and officers of the people, and said, "I am very old now.

†[NIV]summoned all Israel-their elders, leaders, judges and officials-and said to them: "I am old and well advanced in years.

本会注释　　以色列众人的长老。召来的人有四等：长老或支派的首领，各族族长，解释律法并根据律法断案的审判官，执行裁决的官长。大祭司以利亚撒，他的儿子非尼哈，年迈的迦勒，可能还有俄陀聂等人都来了。
　　这次会议的地点没有记录。下一章第一节提到示剑是第二次会议的地点。有人据此认为这次会议的地点是在约书亚所住的亭拿西立。但也有可能是示剑，或示罗等其他地方。
　　我年纪已经老迈。几年前上帝就提醒约书亚年龄大了：“你年纪老迈”（书13:1）。现在约书亚自己也觉得老了。他说，“我年纪已经老迈。”这时他可能已经一百一十岁了（书24:29）。

书23:3 耶和华你们的上帝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上帝。 (串)出19:4申29:2|出14:14书10:14,42本章10

†[吕]永恒主你们的上帝因你们的缘故向这些列国所行的一切事、你们都看见了；因为是永恒主你们的上帝、他为着你们争战。

†[思]你们都亲眼见了上主你们的天主，为了你们对有的民族所做的一切；因为是上主你们的天主在替你们作战。

†[当代]你们都亲眼看见了上帝为你们的缘故，怎样对付那些民族，亲自替你们争战。

†[新译]耶和华你们的　神，因你们的缘故，向那些国家所行的一切事，你们都亲眼看见了；因为耶和华你们的　神为你们作战。

†[Wlb]尔上帝耶和华缘尔故、所行于列国者、尔所目击、盖为尔战者、乃尔上帝耶和华也、

†[Xdv]上主──你们的上帝为着你们对这些国家所做的一切事，你们都看见了；上主──你们的上帝一直为你们争战。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]You have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the LORD your God is He who has fought for you.

†[BBE]You have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is the Lord your God who has been fighting for you.

†[GNT] You have seen everything that the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you. The Lord your God has been fighting for you.

†[NIV]You yourselves have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations for your sake; it was the Lord your God who fought for you.

本会注释　　因你们的缘故。直译是“在你们前面”，即打仗时在以色列的前头。当以色列人投入战斗时，迦南人就被杀了。

书23:4 我所剪除和所剩下的各国，从约但河起到日落之处的大海，我已经拈阄分给你们各支派为业。 (串)书13:6

†[吕]你看，所剩下的这些国我都已经拈下阄来分给你们各族派为产业了；连我所剪灭了的列国，从约但河起，到日落方向的大海，也都照样地分。

†[思]你们看，我已用抽签方式，将由约但河起，直到日落之处的大海之间，所消灭和所剩下的各民族的土地，按照你们各支派，都分给了你们作产业。

†[当代]这片广大的土地，从约旦河开始直到地中海，无论是已经征服了的或是还没有征服的，都已经用抽签的方式分配给各家族作产业了，

†[新译]你们看，剩下来的这些国家，连同我剪除的列国，从约旦河起，直到日落之处的大海，我都按着你们各支派，用抽签的方式，分给你们作产业了。

†[Wlb]自约但至大海日入之乡、所遗之民、及我所灭之族、我以其地分与尔诸支派为业、

†[Xdv]我已经把所有已征服和未征服的各国土地──东边从约旦河，西边到地中海──都分配给你们各支族作产业。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]See, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea westward.

†[BBE]Now I have given to you, as the heritage of your tribes, all these nations which are still in the land, together with those cut off by me, from Jordan as far as the Great Sea on the west.

†[GNT] I have assigned as the possession of your tribes the land of the nations that are still left, as well as of all the nations that I have already conquered, from the Jordan River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west

†[NIV]Remember how I have allotted as an inheritance for your tribes all the land of the nations that remain-the nations I conquered-between the Jordan and the Great Sea in the west.

本会注释　　本节和书13:1-7以及士2:23都明确地承认，约书亚对迦南的征服只是初步的。上帝把迦南赐给以色列人，并且保证，只要以色列有足够的人口占领全地，祂就会在他们前面把剩下的人赶出去。

书23:5 耶和华你们的上帝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，正如耶和华你们的上帝所应许的。 (串)申4:38;11:23书13:6出23:30;33:2;34:11|民33:53

†[吕]永恒主你们的上帝、他必把他们从你们面前撵出，把他们从你们面前赶掉，你们就可以取得他们的地以为业，照永恒主你们的上帝对你们所说过的。

†[思]上主你们的天主必将他们由你们面前赶走，使他们离开你们，叫你们承受他们的土地，一如上主你们的天主向你们所应许的。

†[当代]那些你们还没有征服的敌人，上帝必为你们赶他们出去，叫他们离开你们。这样，你们就可以承受他们的土地，像上帝所答应的一样。

†[新译]耶和华你们的　神必把他们从你们面前赶出去，驱逐他们离开你们，你们就必得着他们的地作产业，正如耶和华你们的　神所应许的。

†[Wlb]尔上帝耶和华必逐斯民于尔前、使离尔目、尔则据有其地、如尔上帝耶和华所言、

†[Xdv]上主──你们的上帝会使他们逃避你们；你们推进的时候，他要把他们赶散。你们会照着上主──你们上帝的应许，拥有他们的土地。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]And the LORD your God will expel them from before you and drive them out of your sight. So you shall possess their land, as the LORD your God promised you.

†[BBE]The Lord your God will send them away by force, driving them out before you; and you are to take their land for your heritage, as the Lord your God said to you.

†[GNT] The Lord your God will make them retreat from you, and he will drive them away as you advance. You shall have their land, as the Lord your God has promised you.

†[NIV]The Lord your God himself will drive them out of your way. He will push them out before you, and you will take possession of their land, as the Lord your God promised you.

本会注释　　申6:19,9:4 也用了“赶出去”。该词在《旧约》中只出现十一次。约书亚可能引用了《申命记》。《申命记》在约书亚的时代已经成文。

书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。 (串)书1:7|申5:32;28:14书1:7箴4:27

†[吕]所以你们要格外刚强，谨慎遵行写在摩西律法书上的一切话，不可偏于右、或偏于左。

†[思]因此，你们要更忠实谨守奉行梅瑟法律书上所记载的一切，不可偏左偏右，

†[当代]所以，你们应当更加刚强坚定，谨守摩西律法书上所记载的一切，不可有半点偏离。

†[新译]所以你们要十分坚强，谨守遵行写在摩西律法书上的一切话，使你们不偏向左，不偏向右；

†[Wlb]故当毅然遵行摩西律书所录、勿偏于左、勿偏于右、

†[Xdv]所以，你们要谨慎，坚决遵守摩西法律上所写的一切命令，不可忽略。

†[Kjv]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;

†[Nkjv]Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, lest you turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,

†[BBE]So be very strong to keep and do whatever is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, not turning away from it to the right or to the left;

†[GNT] So be careful to obey and do everything that is written in the book of the Law of Moses. Do not neglect any part of it,

†[NIV]Be very strong; be careful to obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, without turning aside to the right or to the left.

怀爱伦注释　　反抗上帝是得不到原谅的──上帝救人的计划乃是事事都完美的，如果我们忠心履行所分配给我们的部分工作，我们就都进行得顺利，人的背逆变节就是使之不一致和带来卑鄙和败坏，上帝决不利用祂的权柄来压迫祂手所造的生灵，祂从来不要求人去作过于他所能作的事，他也决不刑罚祂叛逆的子民比祂去引领他们悔改更多，或者去阻止别人不效法他们的榜样，而反抗上帝乃是不能得到原谅的。（《时兆》1881.5.19）
怀爱伦注释　　与背信者联络的危险──我们与背信者联络是有很大的危险，正好像以色列民与拜偶像的人交往一样的危险，天赋与才能的成果往往隐藏着致命的毒素，在吸引的伪装（外观）下，出现了一些问题和表显出那引人有趣而败坏人心的思想，这样在我们基督教国家里，其敬虔减退了，怀疑和不虔诚却得了优势。（《时兆》1881.5.19）
本会注释　　你们要大大壮胆”。胆量来自体力和灵力。基督徒的生活需要勇气。在嘲笑面前用言语和行动承认基督需要勇气。在敌对的世界中行义需要勇气。战胜自私需要勇气。承认错误需要勇气。上帝藉着约书亚对我们说：“你们要大大壮胆”行善事。
　　写在摩西律法书上的一切话。注意这个命令的普遍性。没有保留，没有例外，没有选择性。所要阅读，相信和遵守的是“写在摩西律法书上的一切话”。

书23:7 不可与你们中间所剩下的这些国民搀杂。他们的神，你们不可提它的名，不可指着它起誓，也不可事奉、叩拜； (串)出23:33申7:2,3|出23:13诗16:4|耶5:7番1:5

†[吕]不可和你们中间剩下的这些国的人搀杂通婚；他们的神的名、你们不可提；不可指着来起誓；不可事奉他们，不可跪拜他们，

†[思]不可与你们中间所馀的异族往来，不可提起他们的神名，不可指着他们起誓，不可事奉那些神，也不可在他们面前跪拜。

†[当代]只有这样行，你们才不会被住在你们中间的迦南人同化，去拜他们的神，指著它们起誓。

†[新译]使你们不与你们中间剩下的这些国家的人来往；他们的神的名字，你们不可提，不可指着他们起誓，不可事奉他们，也不可敬拜他们；

†[Wlb]尔中遗民、勿与之交、勿称其神之名、勿指以誓、勿奉事、勿跪拜、

†[Xdv]你们不可跟遗留在你们中间的异族混杂；不可提起他们的神明，或奉那些神明发誓；不可事奉它们或向它们叩拜。

†[Kjv]That ye come 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:

†[Nkjv]and lest you go among these nations, these who remain among you. You shall not make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause anyone to swear by them; you shall not serve them nor bow down to them,

†[BBE]Have nothing to do with these nations who still are living among you; let not their gods be named by you or used in your oaths; do not be their servants or give them worship:

†[GNT] and then you will not associate with these peoples left among you or speak the names of their gods or use those names in taking vows or worship those gods or bow down to them.

†[NIV]Do not associate with these nations that remain among you; do not invoke the names of their gods or swear by them. You must not serve them or bow down to them.

本会注释　　不可与这些国民搀杂。以色列人虽然住在这些民族中间，但不可与他们搀杂。任何交往，不论表面上多么无邪，都会导致更加亲密的关系，最终引诱以色列人离开上帝。这条命令依然有效。《新约》的教训是：“你们信和不信的原不相配，不要同负一轭”（林后6:14）。青年人如果无视这条命令，与不信的人建立婚姻关系，其结果往往是很不幸的。他们在家中找不到真正的和谐，对宗教越来越不感兴趣，迟早会与上帝完全隔绝。“二人若不同心，岂能同行呢”（摩3:3）？
　　不可提它的名。关于摩西的指示，见出23:13和申12:3。不要利用这些假神的名字。甚至提也不要提！
　　不可指着他起誓。指着任何神起誓实际上就是请他在违约时作证和伸冤，以他为崇拜的对象。以色列人不可以与拜偶像的人结盟。因为拜偶像的人在结盟时要指着他们的神起誓。这也就等于以色列人承认了他们的神。

书23:8 只要照着你们到今日所行的，专靠耶和华你们的上帝。 (串)申10:20;11:22;13:4书22:5

†[吕]只要紧依附着永恒主你们的上帝，照你们到今日所行的。

†[思]反之，你们应依照你们一直到到今天所行的，依附上主你们的天主，

†[当代]你们要像从前和现在一样，倚靠主你们的上帝，

†[新译]只要照着你们一直以来所行的，紧紧倚靠耶和华你们的　神。

†[Wlb]惟亲近尔上帝耶和华、如素所为、

†[Xdv]你们到现在一直忠于上主──你们的上帝；

†[Kjv]But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.

†[Nkjv]but you shall hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.

†[BBE]But be true to the Lord your God as you have been till this day.

†[GNT] Instead, be faithful to the Lord, as you have been till now.

†[NIV]But you are to hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have until now.

书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站立得住。 (串)申7:24;11:25书1:5;10:8;21:44

†[吕]永恒主已经把又大又强盛的国的人从你们面前赶出；至于你们呢，直到今日、就没有一个人能在你们面前站立得住。

†[思]因为是上主从你们面前赶走了那些强大的异族，直到今天，没有人能抵抗你们，

†[当代]因为祂为你们赶走了那些又强又大的外族人。直到今天，也没有人敌得过你们。

†[新译]因为耶和华已经把又大又强的列国从你们面前赶出去；至于你们，直到今日，还没有一人能在你们面前站立得住。

†[Wlb]强大之民、耶和华逐之于尔前、无能御尔、至于今日、

†[Xdv]你们要继续对他忠心。你们推进的时候，上主已经把又强又大的民族赶走，没有一个国家能够抵挡你们。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]For the LORD has driven out from before you great and strong nations; but as for you, no one has been able to stand against you to this day.

†[BBE]For the Lord has sent out from before you nations great and strong: and they have all given way before you till this day.

†[GNT] The Lord has driven great and powerful nations out as you advanced, and no one has ever been able to stand against you.

†[NIV]The Lord has driven out before you great and powerful nations; to this day no one has been able to withstand you.

书23:10 你们一人必追赶千人，因耶和华你们的上帝照他所应许的，为你们争战。 (串)利26:8申32:30|出14:14申1:30;3:22本章3

†[吕]你们一人就可以追赶千人，因为是永恒主你们的上帝、他为着你们争战，照他所告诉你们的。

†[思]你们一人能赶走千人，是因为上主你们的天主，照所应许的，亲自为你们作战。

†[当代]你们一个人能打败他们一千人，因为上帝亲自为你们争战。

†[新译]你们一人可以追赶千人，因为耶和华你们的　神，照着他应许你们的，为你们作战。

†[Wlb]尔中之人、一能驱千、盖尔上帝耶和华为尔战、如其所言、

†[Xdv]你们当中的任何一人都能够击退一千人，因为上主──你们的上帝照着自己的应许为你们争战。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the LORD your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you.

†[BBE]One man of you is able to put to flight a thousand; for it is the Lord your God who is fighting for you, as he has said to you.

†[GNT] Any one of you can make a thousand men run away, because the Lord your God is fighting for you, just as he promised.

†[NIV]One of you routs a thousand, because the Lord your God fights for you, just as he promised.

本会注释　　在本节中约书亚引用了申32:30所记载摩西之歌里的话语。

书23:11 你们要分外谨慎，爱耶和华你们的上帝。 (串)申4:15书22:5

†[吕]你们对自己要格外谨慎，爱永恒主你们的上帝。

†[思]你们要尽心尽力，爱慕上主你们的天主。

†[当代]“所以你们要特别谨慎去爱主你们的上帝。

†[新译]你们自己要十分谨慎，爱耶和华你们的　神。

†[Wlb]故当谨慎、爱尔上帝耶和华、

†[Xdv]你们要谨慎，要爱上主──你们的上帝。

†[Kjv]Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.

†[Nkjv]Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.

†[BBE]So keep watch on yourselves, and see that you have love for the Lord your God.

†[GNT] Be careful, then, to love the Lord your God.

†[NIV]So be very careful to love the Lord your God.

本会注释　　以色列人定居迦南以后所面临的危险可能更大了。他们对上帝的爱可能会转移到其他的事物上。安逸的生活也许更容易使他们的心转离上帝。新旧约圣经都强调爱的极端重要性。权力给人以快感。智慧和美貌让人舒服，财富给人体面和安全感。但生命不在这一切中。爱是超乎万物的。顺从要求人“除了我以外，你不可有别的神”（出20:3）。爱则回应说：“耶和华我们的主啊，你的名在全地何其美”（诗8:1）。顺从要求人不可妄称耶和华的名，而爱则宣称：“我们心里所羡慕的是你的名，就是你那可纪念的名”（赛26:8）。“天下人间，没有赐下别的名，我们可以靠着得救”（徒4:12）。顺从要求人不违犯安息日，爱则“称安息日为可喜乐的，称耶和华的圣日为可尊重的”（赛58:13）。上帝所有的诫命都应是这样。“爱就完全了律法”（罗13:10）。

书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， (串)申7:3出34:16拉9:2尼10:30

†[吕]你们若稍微转离，去紧依附着这些在你们中间剩下来的余留之国的人，而和他们彼此结亲，搀杂通婚，

†[思]如果你们背弃上主，依恋你们中间所剩馀的异族，同他们结婚，互相往来，

†[当代]如果你们稍有偏差，跟那住在你们当中的外族人互相往来，甚至通婚，

†[新译]如果你们转离耶和华，与你们中间剩下的这些国家的余民联络，和他们通婚，互相来往，

†[Wlb]尔若转而合于尔中遗民、与之嫁娶往来、

†[Xdv]如果你们不忠于他，跟遗留在你们中间的异族混杂，跟他们通婚，

†[Kjv]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:

†[Nkjv]Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations-- these that remain among you--and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you,

†[BBE]For if you go back, joining yourselves to the rest of these nations who are still among you, getting married to them and living with them and they with you:

†[GNT] If you are disloyal and join with the nations that are still left among you and intermarry with them,

†[NIV]But if you turn away and ally yourselves with the survivors of these nations that remain among you and if you intermarry with them and associate with them,

怀爱伦注释　　与不信者联婚的危险──上帝是不改变的，在今日祂的品性是与在约书亚时代的品性是一样的，祂是真实、慈爱、怜悯并忠实履行祂所应许和警告的话，现今，那环绕在上帝子民周围的最大危险之一，就是与不敬虔的人交往，尤其他们是与不信的人联婚。许多人因对人的爱而遮蔽了对上帝的爱，他们堕落的第一步，就是由于冒险不顾上帝的命令和屡次叛逆的后果，这一直证实人的一种危险之事，就是实行他们自己的意旨，而反对上帝要求。然而去学习得知上帝所说之话的意义乃是一门很难的功课。
　　通常，那些选择作为他们的朋友和伴侣的人，倘若他们是拒绝基督和践踏上帝律法的，而最终他们也变得象这同一的心志和精神了，我们应时常深切关怀那尚未悔悟之人的得救问题，应向他们表显仁爱和有礼貌的精神，但是我们若能安然选择作我们朋友的，只有那些作上帝之朋友的人。（《时兆》1881.5.19）
本会注释　　以色列人很久以后才学会如何身在世界又不属于世界。那是在巴比伦囚掳之后。但他们不久就转变到法利赛式的排外主义了。

书23:13 你们要确实知道，耶和华你们的上帝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上帝所赐的这美地上灭亡。 (串)士2:3,21|出23:33申7:16士2:3|民33:55结28:24

†[吕]那么你们就要确实知道：永恒主你们的上帝必不再将这些国的人从你们面前赶出；他们却要成为陷害你们的机槛和诱饵，成为你们肋下的鞭、眼中的荆棘，直到你们从永恒主你们的上帝所赐给你们这美好土地上灭亡掉为止。

†[思]你们就当知道，上主你们的天主必不再从你们面前，赶走这个异族，你们必将成为你们的罗网和陷阱，打你们腰的鞭子，扎你们眼的芒刺，直到你们从上主你们天主所赐给你们的这福地上，全被消灭。

†[当代]那么，上帝就必不再为你们赶走他们。不但如此，他们还要成为你们罪的圈套和陷阱，抽打你们的鞭子和扎你们眼睛的刺，直到你们在上帝赐给你们这块美好的土地上灭尽为止。

†[新译]你们就必知道，耶和华你们的　神必不再把这些国家从你们面前赶出去；他们必要成为你们的网罗和陷阱，肋下的鞭和眼中的刺，直到你们从耶和华你们的　神赐给你们的这美地上灭亡为止。

†[Wlb]则当确知尔上帝耶和华、必不复逐斯民于尔目前、彼必于尔为网罗、为机槛、胁下之鞭、目中之刺、迨尔灭亡、于尔上帝耶和华所赐之美地、

†[Xdv]你们推进的时候，上主──你们的上帝一定不再把这些民族赶走；相反地，他们会像罗网、陷阱；像打在你们背上的鞭子，刺在你们眼睛里的刺，直到你们没有一人存留在上主──你们上帝所赐给你们的这片美好的土地上。

本会注释　　网罗和机槛。见出23:33；民33:55。这说明最危险的罪恶总是伪装起来不易被人发现的。腐败的社会在外表上往往很有诱惑力。先布置好网罗和陷阱。受害者上当以后，鞭和刺就随之而来了。败坏的人常常用伪装来引诱纯洁的人。他们出于本能地掩盖自己的邪恶，展示自己的好处，以欺骗受害者。纯洁之人的美德有时也会被利用为毁灭的工作服务。他们以为没有害处。他们受到诱惑评价引诱者说：“他们是受冤枉的。他们实际上要比所传的要好。”
　　肋上的鞭。这些鞭子要把以色列人赶到他们所不愿意去的地方。他们一旦罗入圈套，就会像负轭的牛那样被人驱赶。
　　眼中的刺。代表盲目，因为眼中的刺会使人失明。同样，仇敌也会藉着偶像崇拜使以色列人失去辨识的眼力。

书23:14 “我现在要走世人必走的路。你们是一心一意地知道，耶和华你们上帝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。 (串)王上2:2|书21:45

†[思]看我今天就要走世人必走的路，你们要一心一意地承认，上主你们的天主应许赐福给你们的话，没有一句落空，都已应验在你们身上，一句也没有落空。

†[当代]“我快要走完人世的路程了。你们也实实在在地知道所有上帝答应赐福给你们的话，都已经应验在你们身上，没有一句落空。

†[新译]“看哪，我今天要走世人必经的路了。你们清清楚楚（“清清楚楚”原文作“一心一意”）知道耶和华你们的　神应许赐福给你们的话，没有一句落空；完全应验在你们身上，没有一句落空。

本会注释　　约书亚平静而自信地面对他人生的终点。除了以诺和以利亚以外，这是每一个人的必经之路。将来唯一的例外就是基督复临时活着变化升天的人（林前15:51-54）。约书亚在临终的时候对上帝和祂的作为心满意足。但他还是关心下一代人的属灵利益。他品格的伟大在于他把自己隐藏在上帝带领他所创建的丰功伟绩后面。他最关心的问题是“我死之后他们会不会效忠上帝？他们现在认识祂，不知将来还会记得吗？”

书23:15 耶和华你们上帝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上帝所赐的这美地上除灭。 (串)利26:14-39申28:15-68

†[吕]将来永恒主你们的上帝所曾应许关于你们的各样福气会怎样临到你们身上，永恒主也必怎样使各样祸患临到你们身上，直到把你们从永恒主你们的上帝所赐给你们这美好土地上消灭掉为止。

†[思]上主你们的天主对你们所应许的一切幸福，怎样实现在你们身上，上主对你们所提出的灾祸，也要怎样临于你们身上，直到将你们从上主你们天主所赐与你们的这福地上消灭。

†[当代]但倘若你们违背上帝的命令，祂也会照样降灾在你们身上，直到你们在这美好的地上灭绝为止。你们若违背上帝给你们的盟约，敬拜别的神，上帝就必然向你们大发雷霆，使你们从祂所赐给你们的美地上迅速灭亡。”

†[新译]耶和华你们的　神应许你们的一切福气怎样临到你们身上，耶和华也必照样使各样的灾祸临到你们身上，直到把你们从耶和华你们的　神赐给你们的这美地上消灭为止。

†[Wlb]尔上帝耶和华所许之福既已临尔、诸祸亦必临尔、迨尔上帝耶和华灭绝尔、于其所赐之美地、

†[Xdv]但是，正如他实现了所有应许给你们的福泽，他也会降各样的灾祸，直到他从他所赐给你们那美好的土地上把你们除灭。

†[Kjv]Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come 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.

†[Nkjv]Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you which the LORD your God promised you, so the LORD will bring upon you all harmful things, until He has destroyed you from this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

†[BBE]And you will see that, as all the good things which the Lord your God undertook to do for you, have come to you, so the Lord will send down on you all the evil things till he has made your destruction complete, and you are cut off from the good land which

†[GNT] But just as he kept every promise that he made to you, so he will carry out every threat.

†[NIV]But just as every good promise of the Lord your God has come true, so the Lord will bring on you all the evil he has threatened, until he has destroyed you from this good land he has given you.

书23:16 你们若违背耶和华你们上帝吩咐你们所守的约，去事奉别神，叩拜它，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。” (串)申31:16士2:20|申7:4;28:20

†[吕]这就是说、倘若你们越犯了永恒主你们的上帝的约、他所吩咐你们守的约，去事奉别的神、而跪拜他们，那么永恒主就必向你们发怒，使你们从他所赐给你们的美地上迅速地灭亡。”

†[思]如果你们违犯上主你们的天主与你们订立的盟约，去事奉敬拜其他的神，上主必向你们大发忿怒，使你们迅速从你们的福地上消灭。

†[当代]－

†[新译]如果你们违背了耶和华你们的　神吩咐你们遵守的约，去事奉别的神，敬拜他们，耶和华必向你们大发烈怒，使你们从他赐给你们的美地上迅速灭亡。”

†[Wlb]如尔背尔上帝耶和华所命之约、崇事他神、而跪拜之、耶和华必震怒乎尔、致尔速亡于其所赐之美地、

†[Xdv]如果你们不遵守上主──你们上帝所命令你们的约，去事奉膜拜别的神明，他会发烈怒惩罚你们，使你们很快地从他所赐这片美好的土地上灭绝。”

†[GNT] If you do not keep the covenant which the Lord your God commanded you to keep and if you serve and worship other gods, then in his anger he will punish you, and soon none of you will be left in this good land that he has given you."

†[NIV]If you violate the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the Lord 's anger will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land he has given you."

本会注释　　上帝先认定祂的百姓是忠实的。祂在赐福以前并没有先检验他们。祂现在赐给人类丰富的恩典，以预备使他们在将来领受更多的福分。虽然上帝能预见百姓将来的悖逆，但祂并没有因此而收回祂的恩赐。领受上帝的慈爱，祝福和智慧乃是最奇妙的特权，但随之而来还有最严肃的责任。面对这些恩赐，偏离上帝和祂真理所招致的惩罚是与所接受的亮光和成正比例的。
