< يَشُوع 4 >
وَكَانَ لَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنْ عُبُورِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ كَلَّمَ يَشُوعَ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,
«ٱنْتَخِبُوا مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا، رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ، | ٢ 2 |
“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,
وَأْمُرُوهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: ٱحْمِلُوا مِنْ هُنَا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، مِنْ مَوْقِفِ أَرْجُلِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ رَاسِخَةً، ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ حَجَرًا، وَعَبِّرُوهَا مَعَكُمْ وَضَعُوهَا فِي ٱلْمَبِيتِ ٱلَّذِي تَبِيتُونَ فِيهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ». | ٣ 3 |
and command them: ‘Take up for yourselves twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan where the priests were standing, carry them with you, and set them down in the place where you spend the night.’”
فَدَعَا يَشُوعُ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا ٱلَّذِينَ عَيَّنَهُمْ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ. | ٤ 4 |
So Joshua summoned the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe,
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ: «ٱعْبُرُوا أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ إِلَى وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَٱرْفَعُوا كُلُّ رَجُلٍ حَجَرًا وَاحِدًا عَلَى كَتِفِهِ حَسَبَ عَدَدِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٥ 5 |
and said to them, “Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of Israel,
لِكَيْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ عَلَامَةً فِي وَسَطِكُمْ. إِذَا سَأَلَ غَدًا بَنُوكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: مَا لَكُمْ وَهَذِهِ ٱلْحِجَارَةَ؟ | ٦ 6 |
to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
تَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ مِيَاهَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ قَدِ ٱنْفَلَقَتْ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. عِنْدَ عُبُورِهِ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ ٱنْفَلَقَتْ مِيَاهُ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ ٱلْحِجَارَةُ تَذْكَارًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ». | ٧ 7 |
you are to tell them, ‘The waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters were cut off.’ Therefore these stones will be a memorial to the Israelites forever.”
فَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ هَكَذاَ كَمَا أَمَرَ يَشُوعُ، وَحَمَلُوا ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ حَجَرًا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ، حَسَبَ عَدَدِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَعَبَّرُوهَا مَعَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَبِيتِ وَوَضَعُوهَا هُنَاكَ. | ٨ 8 |
Thus the Israelites did as Joshua had commanded them. They took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, one for each tribe of Israel, just as the LORD had told Joshua; and they carried them to the camp, where they set them down.
وَنَصَبَ يَشُوعُ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ حَجَرًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ تَحْتَ مَوْقِفِ أَرْجُلِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ ٱلْعَهْدِ. وَهِيَ هُنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٩ 9 |
Joshua also set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant stood. And the stones are there to this day.
وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ حَامِلُو ٱلتَّابُوتِ وَقَفُوا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ حَتَّى ٱنْتَهَى كُلُّ شَيْءٍ أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَشُوعَ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَ بِهِ ٱلشَّعْبَ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ مُوسَى يَشُوعَ. وَأَسْرَعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ فَعَبَرُوا. | ١٠ 10 |
Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until the people had completed everything the LORD had commanded Joshua to tell them, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried across,
وَكَانَ لَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنَ ٱلْعُبُورِ، أَنَّهُ عَبَرَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ فِي حَضْرَةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ١١ 11 |
and after everyone had finished crossing, the priests with the ark of the LORD crossed in the sight of the people.
وَعَبَرَ بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادٍ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى مُتَجَهِّزِينَ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَمَا كَلَّمَهُمْ مُوسَى. | ١٢ 12 |
The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over before the Israelites, armed for battle as Moses had instructed them.
نَحْوَ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفًا مُتَجَرِّدِينَ لِلْجُنْدِ عَبَرُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلْحَرْبِ إِلَى عَرَبَاتِ أَرِيحَا. | ١٣ 13 |
About 40,000 troops armed for battle crossed over before the LORD into the plains of Jericho.
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عَظَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَشُوعَ فِي أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَهَابُوهُ كَمَا هَابُوا مُوسَى كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they revered him all the days of his life, just as they had revered Moses.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَشُوعَ قَائِلًا: | ١٥ 15 |
Then the LORD said to Joshua,
«مُرِ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ أَنْ يَصْعَدُوا مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». | ١٦ 16 |
“Command the priests who carry the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan.”
فَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ قَائِلًا: «ٱصْعَدُوا مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». | ١٧ 17 |
So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up from the Jordan.”
فَكَانَ لَمَّا صَعِدَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ حَامِلُو تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَٱجْتُذِبَتْ بُطُونُ أَقْدَامِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ إِلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ، أَنَّ مِيَاهَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا وَجَرَتْ كَمَا مِنْ قَبْلُ إِلَى كُلِّ شُطُوطِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
When the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up out of the Jordan and their feet touched the dry land, the waters of the Jordan returned to their course and overflowed all the banks as before.
وَصَعِدَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، وَحَلُّوا فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ فِي تُخُمِ أَرِيحَا ٱلشَّرْقِيِّ. | ١٩ 19 |
On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho.
وَٱلِٱثْنَا عَشَرَ حَجَرًا ٱلَّتِي أَخَذُوهَا مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَصَبَهَا يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And there at Gilgal Joshua set up the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan.
وَكَلَّمَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «إِذَا سَأَلَ بَنُوكُمْ غَدًا آبَاءَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: مَا هَذِهِ ٱلْحِجَارَةُ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
Then Joshua said to the Israelites, “In the future, when your children ask their fathers, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’
تُعْلِمُونَ بَنِيكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ عَبَرَ إِسْرَائِيلُ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
you are to tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ قَدْ يَبَّسَ مِيَاهَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ حَتَّى عَبَرْتُمْ، كَمَا فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِبَحْرِ سُوفٍ ٱلَّذِي يَبَّسَهُ مِنْ أَمَامِنَا حَتَّى عَبَرْنَا، | ٢٣ 23 |
For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, just as He did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over.
لِكَيْ تَعْلَمَ جَمِيعُ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَدَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّهَا قَوِيَّةٌ، لِكَيْ تَخَافُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
He did this so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is mighty, and so that you may always fear the LORD your God.”
