Meaning word by word (Strong’s)
The verse
King James Version
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.
Bíblia Livre
E se mal vos parece servir ao SENHOR, escolhei hoje a quem sirvais; se aos deuses a os quais serviram vossos pais, quando estiveram da outra parte do rio, ou aos deuses dos amorreus em cuja terra habitais: que eu e minha casa serviremos ao SENHOR.
