يَشُوع 11

١ 1 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَابِينُ مَلِكُ حَاصُورَ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَى يُوبَابَ مَلِكِ مَادُونَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ شِمْرُونَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ أَكْشَافَ،

Now Jabin, king of Hazor, hearing of these things, sent to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

٢ 2 وَإِلَى ٱلْمُلُوكِ ٱلَّذِينَ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَفِي ٱلْعَرَبَةِ جَنُوبِيَّ كِنَّرُوتَ، وَفِي ٱلسَّهْلِ، وَفِي مُرْتَفَعَاتِ دُورَ غَرْبًا،

And to the kings on the north in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the highlands of Dor on the west,

٣ 3 ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ فِي ٱلشَّرْقِ وَٱلْغَرْبِ، وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ تَحْتَ حَرْمُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ.

And to the Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill-country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

٤ 4 فَخَرَجُوا هُمْ وَكُلُّ جُيُوشِهِمْ مَعَهُمْ، شَعْبًا غَفِيرًا كَٱلرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ، بِخَيْلٍ وَمَرْكَبَاتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ جِدًّا.

And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a great people, in number like the sand on the seaside, with horses and war-carriages in great number.

٥ 5 فَٱجْتَمَعَ جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ بِمِيعَادٍ وَجَاءُوا وَنَزَلُوا مَعًا عَلَى مِيَاهِ مَيْرُومَ لِكَيْ يُحَارِبُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on Israel.

٦ 6 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «لَا تَخَفْهُمْ، لِأَنِّي غَدًا فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْوَقْتِ أَدْفَعُهُمْ جَمِيعًا قَتْلَى أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُعَرْقِبُ خَيْلَهُمْ، وَتُحْرِقُ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ بِٱلنَّارِ».

And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them: for tomorrow at this time I will give them all up dead before Israel; you are to have the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

٧ 7 فَجَاءَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ مَعَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ عِنْدَ مِيَاهِ مَيْرُومَ بَغْتَةً وَسَقَطُوا عَلَيْهِمْ.

So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on them.

٨ 8 فَدَفَعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَضَرَبُوهُمْ وَطَرَدُوهُمْ إِلَى صِيدُونَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، وَإِلَى مِسْرَفُوتَ مَايِمَ، وَإِلَى بُقْعَةِ مِصْفَاةَ شَرْقًا. فَضَرَبُوهُمْ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُمْ شَارِدٌ.

And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them driving them back to great Zidon and to Misrephoth-maim and into the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they put them all to death, no man got away safely.

٩ 9 فَفَعَلَ يَشُوعُ بِهِمْ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ. عَرْقَبَ خَيْلَهُمْ، وَأَحْرَقَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ بِٱلنَّارِ.

And Joshua did to them as the Lord had said to him; he had the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

١٠ 10 ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ وَأَخَذَ حَاصُورَ وَضَرَبَ مَلِكَهَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ، لِأَنَّ حَاصُورَ كَانَتْ قَبْلًا رَأْسَ جَمِيعِ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ.

At that time, Joshua went on to take Hazor and put its king to the sword: for in earlier times Hazor was the chief of all those kingdoms.

١١ 11 وَضَرَبُوا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. حَرَّمُوهُمْ، وَلَمْ تَبْقَ نَسَمَةٌ، وَأَحْرَقَ حَاصُورَ بِٱلنَّارِ.

And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor.

١٢ 12 فَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ مُدُنِ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ وَجَمِيعَ مُلُوكِهَا وَضَرَبَهُمْ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. حَرَّمَهُمْ كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And all the towns of these kings, and all the kings, Joshua took, and put them to the sword: he gave them up to the curse, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had said.

١٣ 13 غَيْرَ أَنَّ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلْقَائِمَةَ عَلَى تِلَالِهَا لَمْ يُحْرِقْهَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، مَا عَدَا حَاصُورَ وَحْدَهَا أَحْرَقَهَا يَشُوعُ.

As for the towns made on hills of earth, not one was burned by Israel but Hazor, which was burned by Joshua.

١٤ 14 وَكُلُّ غَنِيمَةِ تِلْكَ ٱلْمُدُنِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمَ نَهَبَهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ. وَأَمَّا ٱلرِّجَالُ فَضَرَبُوهُمْ جَمِيعًا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ حَتَّى أَبَادُوهُمْ. لَمْ يُبْقُوا نَسَمَةً.

And all the goods taken from these towns, and their cattle, the children of Israel kept for themselves; but every man they put to death without mercy, till their destruction was complete, and there was no one living.

١٥ 15 كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى عَبْدَهُ هَكَذَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى يَشُوعَ، وَهَكَذَا فَعَلَ يَشُوعُ. لَمْ يُهْمِلْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

As the Lord had given orders to Moses his servant, so Moses gave orders to Joshua, and so Joshua did; every order which the Lord had given to Moses was done.

١٦ 16 فَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ: ٱلْجَبَلَ، وَكُلَّ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَكُلَّ أَرْضِ جُوشِنَ وَٱلسَّهْلَ وَٱلْعَرَبَةَ وَجَبَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَسَهْلَهُ،

So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland and the Arabah, the hill-country of Israel and its lowland;

١٧ 17 مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلْأَقْرَعِ ٱلصَّاعِدِ إِلَى سَعِيرَ إِلَى بَعْلِ جَادَ فِي بُقْعَةِ لُبْنَانَ تَحْتَ جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ. وَأَخَذَ جَمِيعَ مُلُوكِهَا وَضَرَبَهُمْ وَقَتَلَهُمْ.

From Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their kings he overcame and put to death.

١٨ 18 فَعَمِلَ يَشُوعُ حَرْبًا مَعَ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً.

For a long time Joshua made war on all those kings.

١٩ 19 لَمْ تَكُنْ مَدِينَةٌ صَالَحَتْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَّا ٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ سُكَّانَ جِبْعُونَ، بَلْ أَخَذُوا ٱلْجَمِيعَ بِٱلْحَرْبِ.

Not one town made peace with the children of Israel, but only the Hivites of Gibeon: they took them all in war.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ يُشَدِّدَ قُلُوبَهُمْ حَتَّى يُلَاقُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ فَيُحَرَّمُوا، فَلَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ رَأْفَةٌ، بَلْ يُبَادُونَ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

For the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

٢١ 21 وَجَاءَ يَشُوعُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ وَقَرَضَ ٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ، مِنْ حَبْرُونَ وَمِنْ دَبِيرَ وَمِنْ عَنَابَ، وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ جَبَلِ يَهُوذَا، وَمِنْ كُلِّ جَبَلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. حَرَّمَهُمْ يَشُوعُ مَعَ مُدُنِهِمْ.

And Joshua came at that time and put an end to the Anakim in the hill-country, in Hebron, in Debir, in Anab, and in all the hill-country of Judah and Israel: Joshua gave them and their towns to the curse.

٢٢ 22 فَلَمْ يَتَبَقَّ عَنَاقِيُّونَ فِي أَرْضِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَكِنْ بَقَوْا فِي غَزَّةَ وَجَتَّ وَأَشْدُودَ.

Not one of the Anakim was to be seen in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, some were still living.

٢٣ 23 فَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا كَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى، وَأَعْطَاهَا يَشُوعُ مُلْكًا لِإِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ فِرَقِهِمْ وَأَسْبَاطِهِمْ. وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنَ ٱلْحَرْبِ.

So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it to the children of Israel as their heritage, making division of it among them by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
