Mozus nāve
1 No Moāba klajumiem Mozus uzkāpa Nebo kalnā, Pisgas virsotnē, kas iepretī Jērikai, un Kungs viņam parādīja visu zemi – no Gileāda līdz Dānam, 2 un visu Naftālī, un visu Efraima zemi, un Manasi, un visu Jūdas zemi līdz Rietumu jūrai, 3 un Negebu, un visu palmu pilsētas Jērikas palieni līdz Coarai. 4 Un Kungs viņam teica: “Šī ir zeme, ko es ar zvērestu atdevu Ābrahāmam, Īzakam un Jēkabam, sacīdams: taviem pēcnācējiem es to došu! – tev es to tikai parādu, bet pats tu turp neiesi!”
5 Mozus, Kunga kalps, nomira Moāba zemē, kā Kungs bija sacījis. 6 Viņš tika apglabāts ielejā, Moāba zemē, iepretī Bēt-Peorai, un līdz šai dienai neviens nezina, kur ir viņa kapavieta. 7 Kad Mozus nomira, viņš bija simts divdesmit gadu vecs – acis viņam nebija vājas, un spēks viņā nebija izsīcis. 8 Israēla dēli apraudāja Mozu Moāba klajumos trīsdesmit dienas. Tad Mozus apraudāšanas laiks beidzās.
9 Un Jozua, Nūna dēls, bija pilns gudrības gara, jo Mozus bija licis savas rokas pār viņu, un Israēla dēli viņu klausīja un darīja, kā Kungs Mozum bija pavēlējis. 10 Un Israēlā vairs nebija neviena tāda pravieša kā Mozus, ko Kungs bija pazinis vaigu vaigā! – 11 ar tādām zīmēm un brīnumiem, ko Kungs viņu sūtīja darīt faraonam Ēģiptes zemē un visiem viņa kalpiem, un visai viņa zemei, 12 ar tādu stipru roku un lielām briesmām, ko Mozus bija darījis visa Israēla acu priekšā!
The Death of Moses
1 Sometime later, Moses left the lowlands of Moab. He went up Mount Pisgah to the peak of Mount Nebo, which is across the Jordan River from Jericho. The Lord showed him all the land as far north as Gilead and the town of Dan. 2 He let Moses see the territories that would soon belong to the tribes of Naphtali, Ephraim, Manasseh, and Judah, as far west as the Mediterranean Sea. 3 The Lord also showed him the land in the south, from the valley near the town of Jericho, known as The City of Palm Trees, down to the town of Zoar.
4 The Lord said, “Moses, this is the land I was talking about when I solemnly promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give land to their descendants. I have let you see it, but you will not cross the Jordan and go in.”
5 And so, Moses the Lord's servant died there in Moab, just as the Lord had said. 6 The Lord buried him in a valley near the town of Beth-Peor, but even today no one knows exactly where. 7 Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyesight was still good, and his body was strong.
8 The people of Israel stayed in the lowlands of Moab, where they mourned and grieved 30 days for Moses, as was their custom.
Joshua Becomes the Leader of Israel
9 Before Moses died, he had placed his hands on Joshua, and the Lord had given Joshua wisdom. The Israelites paid attention to what Joshua said and obeyed the commands that the Lord had given Moses.
Moses Was a Great Prophet
10 There has never again been a prophet in Israel like Moses. The Lord spoke face to face with him 11 and sent him to perform powerful miracles in the presence of the king of Egypt and his entire nation. 12 No one else has ever had the power to do such great things as Moses did for everyone to see.
