If it is unacceptable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
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.
“If you decide that it’s a bad thing to worship God, then choose a god you’d rather serve—and do it today. Choose one of the gods your ancestors worshiped from the country beyond The River, or one of the gods of the Amorites, on whose land you’re now living. As for me and my family, we’ll worship God.”
If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
But suppose you don’t want to serve him. Then choose for yourselves right now whom you will serve. You can choose the gods your people served east of the Euphrates River. Or you can serve the gods of the Amorites. After all, you are living in their land. But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”
But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.’
But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”

وَإِنْ سَاءَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ، فَاخْتَارُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمُ الْيَوْمَ مَنْ تَعْبُدُونَ سَوَاءَ مِنَ الآلِهَةِ الَّتِي عَبَدَهَا آبَاؤُكُمُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَوْطَنُوا شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ أَمْ آلِهَةِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَنْتُمْ مُقِيمُونَ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ. أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَيْتِي فَنَعْبُدُ الرَّبَّ».
Danish
Hvis ikke I vil tjene Herren, så beslut jer i dag for, hvilke andre guder I vil tjene. Skal det være de guder, som jeres forfædre dyrkede på den anden side af Eufratfloden? Eller skal det være de guder, som blev dyrket her i amoritternes land, som I nu har overtaget? Men jeg og min familie, vi vil tjene Herren!”
German
Wenn es euch aber nicht gefällt, dem Herrn zu dienen, dann entscheidet euch heute, wem ihr gehören wollt: den Göttern, die eure Vorfahren jenseits des Euphrat verehrt haben, oder den Göttern der Amoriter, in deren Land ihr lebt. Ich aber und meine Familie, wir wollen dem Herrn dienen.«
Spanish
Pero, si os parece mal servir al Señor, elegid vosotros mismos a quiénes vais a servir: a los dioses que sirvieron vuestros antepasados al otro lado del río Éufrates, o a los dioses de los amorreos, en cuya tierra ahora habitáis. Por mi parte, mi familia y yo serviremos al Señor».

S’il vous déplaît de servir l’Eternel, alors choisissez aujourd’hui à quels dieux vous voulez rendre un culte : ceux que vos ancêtres adoraient de l’autre côté de l’Euphrate ou ceux des Amoréens dont vous habitez le pays ; quant à moi et à ma famille, nous adorerons l’Eternel.

Pero kon indi kamo luyag nga mag-alagad sa Ginoo, magpili kamo subong nga adlaw kon sin-o ang inyo alagaron. Magaalagad bala kamo sa mga dios nga gin-alagad sang inyo mga katigulangan sa tabok sang Suba sang Eufrates, ukon sa mga dios sang mga Amornon nga ang ila duta inyo ginaestaran subong? Pero ako iya kag ang akon pamilya magaalagad sa Ginoo.”

もし主に従いたくなければ、たった今、だれに従うかを決めなさい。ユーフラテス川の向こうで先祖が拝んでいた神々であろうが、この地に住むエモリ人の神々であろうが、好きに選ぶがいい。しかし、私と私の家族とは、あくまでも主に仕える。」

만일 여러분이 여호와를 섬기고 싶지 않으면, 여러분의 조상이 메소포타미아에서 섬기던 신이든 현재 여러분이 사는 땅의 아모리 사람이 섬기던 신이든 여러분이 섬길 신을 오늘 택하십시오. 나와 내 가족은 여호와를 섬기겠습니다.”

Maar als u de Here niet wilt gehoorzamen, besluit dan vandaag nog wie u wel wilt gehoorzamen. Zullen dat de goden van uw voorouders aan de overzijde van de Eufraat zijn of de goden van de Amorieten in dit land? Maar ik en mijn gezin, wij zullen de Here dienen.’

Se, porém, não lhes agrada servir ao Senhor, escolham hoje a quem irão servir, se aos deuses que os seus antepassados serviram além do Eufrates, ou aos deuses dos amorreus, em cuja terra vocês estão vivendo. Mas, eu e a minha família serviremos ao Senhor”.
Se não estiverem dispostos a servir o Senhor, decidam hoje quem querem servir. Será os deuses dos vossos antepassados, dalém do Eufrates, ou os deuses dos amorreus, aqui desta terra? Quanto a mim, eu e a minha casa serviremos o Senhor!”

Iar dacă nu doriţi să slujiţi Domnului, atunci alegeţi astăzi cui vreţi să slujiţi: fie zeilor cărora le slujeau strămoşii voştri dincolo de râu, fie zeilor amoriţilor în a căror ţară locuiţi! Cât despre mine, eu şi familia mea Îi vom sluji Domnului!

Но если вы не желаете служить Вечному, то выберите сегодня, кому вы будете служить: богам ли, которым служили за Евфратом ваши предки, или богам аморреев, в земле которых вы живёте; а я и дом мой будем служить Вечному.

Men om ni inte vill tjäna Herren, bestäm då idag vem ni vill tjäna. Vill ni välja de gudar som era förfäder tillbad på andra sidan Eufrat eller kanske de amoreiska gudarna här i landet? Jag och min släkt tänker i alla fall tjäna Herren.” Hela folket lovar att följa Herren

แต่หากท่านไม่เต็มใจที่จะปรนนิบัติองค์พระผู้เป็นเจ้า ก็จงเลือกในวันนี้ว่าท่านจะปรนนิบัติใคร จะเป็นพระต่างๆ ซึ่งบรรพบุรุษของท่านปรนนิบัติที่ฟากข้างโน้นของแม่น้ำยูเฟรติส หรือพระต่างๆ ของชาวอาโมไรต์ในดินแดนซึ่งท่านอาศัยอยู่ขณะนี้ แต่สำหรับตัวข้าพเจ้าเองกับครอบครัวจะปรนนิบัติองค์พระผู้เป็นเจ้า”
