يَشُوع 5

١ 1 وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ جَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ غَرْبًا، وَجَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ يَبَّسَ مِيَاهَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى عَبَرْنَا، ذَابَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَلَمْ تَبْقَ فِيهِمْ رُوحٌ بَعْدُ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And it happened, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how that YHWH had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

٢ 2 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱصْنَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ سَكَاكِينَ مِنْ صَوَّانٍ، وَعُدْ فَٱخْتُنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَانِيَةً».

At that time, YHWH said to Joshua, "Make flint knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."

٣ 3 فَصَنَعَ يَشُوعُ سَكَاكِينَ مِنْ صَوَّانٍ وَخَتَنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تَلِّ ٱلْقُلَفِ.

Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the Hill of the Foreskins.

٤ 4 وَهَذَا هُوَ سَبَبُ خَتْنِ يَشُوعَ إِيَّاهُمْ: أَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، ٱلذُّكُوِرَ، جَمِيعَ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، مَاتُوا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

This is the reason Joshua circumcised: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا كَانُوا مَخْتُونِينَ، وَأَمَّا جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ فَلَمْ يُخْتَنُوا.

For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

٦ 6 لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سَارُوا أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ حَتَّى فَنِيَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ، رِجَالُ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلَّذِينَ حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ لَا يُرِيهِمِ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا إِيَّاهَا، ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because they did not listen to the voice of YHWH, those to whom YHWH swore that they would not see the land which YHWH swore to their ancestors that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

٧ 7 وَأَمَّا بَنُوهُمْ فَأَقَامَهُمْ مَكَانَهُمْ. فَإِيَّاهُمْ خَتَنَ يَشُوعُ لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قُلْفًا، إِذْ لَمْ يَخْتِنُوهُمْ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ.

And their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.

٨ 8 وَكَانَ بَعْدَمَا ٱنْتَهَى جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنْ ٱلِٱخْتِتَانِ، أَنَّهُمْ أَقَامُوا فِي أَمَاكِنِهِمْ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ حَتَّى بَرِئُوا.

And it happened, when they were done circumcising all the nation, that they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.

٩ 9 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱلْيَوْمَ قَدْ دَحْرَجْتُ عَنْكُمْ عَارَ مِصْرَ». فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «ٱلْجِلْجَالَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

And YHWH said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from off you." Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, to this day.

١٠ 10 فَحَلَّ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، وَعَمِلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ مَسَاءً فِي عَرَبَاتِ أَرِيحَا.

The children of Israel camped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

١١ 11 وَأَكَلُوا مِنْ غَلَّةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي ٱلْغَدِ بَعْدَ ٱلْفِصْحِ فَطِيرًا وَفَرِيكًا فِي نَفْسِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.

They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.

١٢ 12 وَٱنْقَطَعَ ٱلْمَنُّ فِي ٱلْغَدِ عِنْدَ أَكْلِهِمْ مِنْ غَلَّةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مَنٌّ. فَأَكَلُوا مِنْ مَحْصُولِ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ.

The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel did not have manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

١٣ 13 وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَشُوعُ عِنْدَ أَرِيحَا أَنَّهُ رَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَظَرَ، وَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ وَاقِفٍ قُبَالَتَهُ، وَسَيْفُهُ مَسْلُولٌ بِيَدِهِ. فَسَارَ يَشُوعُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَلْ لَنَا أَنْتَ أَوْ لِأَعدَائِنَا؟»

It happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and look, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him, and said to him, "Are you for us, or for our adversaries?"

١٤ 14 فَقَالَ: «كَلَّا، بَلْ أَنَا رَئِيسُ جُنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٱلْآنَ أَتَيْتُ». فَسَقَطَ يَشُوعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: «بِمَاذَا يُكَلِّمُ سَيِّدِي عَبْدَهُ؟»

And he said to him, "Truly I am the commander of the army of YHWH. Now I have come." And Joshua fell facedown to the ground and worshipped, and said to him, "What does my lord say to his servant?"

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ رَئِيسُ جُنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱخْلَعْ نَعْلَكَ مِنْ رِجْلِكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَكَانَ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَيْهِ هُوَ مُقَدَّسٌ». فَفَعَلَ يَشُوعُ كَذَلِكَ.

The commander of the army of YHWH said to Joshua, "Take your shoes off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy." Joshua did so.
