يَشُوع 6
| وَكَانَتْ أَرِيحَا مُغَلَّقَةً مُقَفَّلَةً بِسَبَبِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا أَحَدٌ يَخْرُجُ وَلَا أَحَدٌ يَدْخُلُ. | ١ 1 |
Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱنْظُرْ. قَدْ دَفَعْتُ بِيَدِكَ أَرِيحَا وَمَلِكَهَا، جَبَابِرَةَ ٱلْبَأْسِ. | ٢ 2 |
And the LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, along with its king and its mighty men of valor.
| تَدُورُونَ دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ. حَوْلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُونَ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ٣ 3 |
March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.
| وَسَبْعَةُ كَهَنَةٍ يَحْمِلُونَ أَبْوَاقَ ٱلْهُتَافِ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ. وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ تَدُورُونَ دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. | ٤ 4 |
Have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark. Then on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the horns.
| وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ ٱمْتِدَادِ صَوْتِ قَرْنِ ٱلْهُتَافِ، عِنْدَ ٱسْتِمَاعِكُمْ صَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ، أَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَهْتِفُ هُتَافًا عَظِيمًا، فَيَسْقُطُ سُورُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَيَصْعَدُ ٱلشَّعْبُ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مَعَ وَجْهِهِ». | ٥ 5 |
And when there is a long blast of the ram’s horn and you hear its sound, have all the people give a mighty shout. Then the wall of the city will collapse and all your people will charge straight into the city.”
| فَدَعَا يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونٍ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱحْمِلُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلْعَهْدِ. وَلْيَحْمِلْ سَبْعَةُ كَهَنَةٍ سَبْعَةَ أَبْوَاقِ هُتَافٍ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ٦ 6 |
So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said, “Take up the ark of the covenant and have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark of the LORD.”
| وَقَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ: «ٱجْتَازُوا وَدُورُوا دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَلْيَجْتَزِ ٱلْمُتَجَرِّدُ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ٧ 7 |
And he told the people, “Advance and march around the city, with the armed troops going ahead of the ark of the LORD.”
| وَكَانَ كَمَا قَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلشَّعْبِ. ٱجْتَازَ ٱلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ حَامِلِينَ أَبْوَاقَ ٱلْهُتَافِ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَضَرَبُوا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. وَتَابُوتُ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ سَائِرٌ وَرَاءَهُمْ، | ٨ 8 |
After Joshua had spoken to the people, seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
| وَكُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ سَائِرٌ أَمَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلضَّارِبِينَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. وَٱلسَّاقَةُ سَائِرَةٌ وَرَاءَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ. كَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ وَيَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. | ٩ 9 |
While the horns continued to sound, the armed troops marched ahead of the priests who blew the horns, and the rear guard followed the ark.
| وَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَهْتِفُوا وَلَا تُسَمِّعُوا صَوْتَكُمْ، وَلَا تَخْرُجْ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمْ كَلِمَةٌ حَتَّى يَوْمَ أَقُولُ لَكُمُ: ٱهْتِفُوا. فَتَهْتِفُونَ». | ١٠ 10 |
But Joshua had commanded the people: “Do not give a battle cry or let your voice be heard; do not let one word come out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you are to shout!”
| فَدَارَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا ٱلْمَحَلَّةَ وَبَاتُوا فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ١١ 11 |
So he had the ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. And the people returned to the camp and spent the night there.
| فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ، وَحَمَلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ١٢ 12 |
Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests took the ark of the LORD.
| وَٱلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلْحَامِلُونَ أَبْوَاقَ ٱلْهُتَافِ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ سَائِرُونَ سَيْرًا وَضَارِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ، وَٱلْمُتَجَرِّدُونَ سَائِرُونَ أَمَامَهُمْ، وَٱلْسَّاقَةُ سَائِرَةٌ وَرَاءَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. كَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ وَيَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns kept marching ahead of the ark of the LORD and blowing the horns. The armed troops went in front of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, while the horns kept sounding.
| وَدَارُوا بِٱلْمَدِينَةِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. هَكَذَا فَعَلُوا سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ أَنَّهُمْ بَكَّرُوا عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ وَدَارُوا دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْمِنْوَالِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ. فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ فَقَطْ دَارُوا دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
Then on the seventh day, they got up at dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. That was the only day they circled the city seven times.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْمَرَّةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ عِنْدَمَا ضَرَبَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ قَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ: «ٱهْتِفُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. | ١٦ 16 |
After the seventh time around, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
| فَتَكُونُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهَا مُحَرَّمًا لِلرَّبِّ. رَاحَابُ ٱلزَّانِيَةُ فَقَطْ تَحْيَا هِيَ وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَعَهَا فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، لِأَنَّهَا قَدْ خَبَّأَتِ ٱلْمُرْسَلَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ أَرْسَلْنَاهُمَا. | ١٧ 17 |
Now the city and everything in it must be devoted to the LORD for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and all those with her in her house will live, because she hid the spies we sent.
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَٱحْتَرِزُوا مِنَ ٱلْحَرَامِ لِئَلَّا تُحَرَّمُوا، وَتَأْخُذُوا مِنَ ٱلْحَرَامِ وَتَجْعَلُوا مَحَلَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُحَرَّمَةً وَتُكَدِّرُوهَا. | ١٨ 18 |
But keep away from the things devoted to destruction, lest you yourself be set apart for destruction. If you take any of these, you will set apart the camp of Israel for destruction and bring disaster upon it.
| وَكُلُّ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَآنِيَةِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ تَكُونُ قُدْسًا لِلرَّبِّ وَتَدْخُلُ فِي خِزَانَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٩ 19 |
For all the silver and gold and all the articles of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD; they must go into His treasury.”
| فَهَتَفَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَضَرَبُوا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. وَكَانَ حِينَ سَمِعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ صَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ هَتَفَ هُتَافًا عَظِيمًا، فَسَقَطَ ٱلسُّورُ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَصَعِدَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مَعَ وَجْهِهِ، وَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
So when the rams’ horns sounded, the people shouted. When they heard the blast of the horn, the people gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. Then all the people charged straight into the city and captured it.
| وَحَرَّمُوا كُلَّ مَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَٱمْرَأَةٍ، مِنْ طِفْلٍ وَشَيْخٍ، حَتَّى ٱلْبَقَرَ وَٱلْغَنَمَ وَٱلْحَمِيرَ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٢١ 21 |
At the edge of the sword they devoted to destruction everything in the city—man and woman, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys.
| وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلرَّجُلَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ تَجَسَّسَا ٱلْأَرْضَ: «ٱدْخُلَا بَيْتَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلزَّانِيَةِ وَأَخْرِجَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا كَمَا حَلَفْتُمَا لَهَا». | ٢٢ 22 |
Meanwhile, Joshua told the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the house of the prostitute and bring out the woman and all who are with her, just as you promised her.”
| فَدَخَلَ ٱلْغُلَامَانِ ٱلْجَاسُوسَانِ وَأَخْرَجَا رَاحَابَ وَأَبَاهَا وَأُمَّهَا وَإِخْوَتَهَا وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا، وَأَخْرَجَا كُلَّ عَشَائِرِهَا وَتَرَكَاهُمْ خَارِجَ مَحَلَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So the young spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother and brothers, and all who belonged to her. They brought out her whole family and settled them outside the camp of Israel.
| وَأَحْرَقُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِٱلنَّارِ مَعَ كُلِّ مَا بِهَا، إِنَّمَا ٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلذَّهَبُ وَآنِيَةُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ جَعَلُوهَا فِي خِزَانَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Then the Israelites burned up the city and everything in it. However, they put the silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
| وَٱسْتَحْيَا يَشُوعُ رَاحَابَ ٱلزَّانِيَةَ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيهَا وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا، وَسَكَنَتْ فِي وَسَطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّهَا خَبَّأَتِ ٱلْمُرْسَلَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ أَرْسَلَهُمَا يَشُوعُ لِكَيْ يَتَجَسَّسَا أَرِيحَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
And Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her father’s household and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho. So she has lived among the Israelites to this day.
| وَحَلَفَ يَشُوعُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: «مَلْعُونٌ قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَقُومُ وَيَبْنِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ أَرِيحَا. بِبِكْرِهِ يُؤَسِّسُهَا وَبِصَغِيرِهِ يَنْصِبُ أَبْوَابَهَا». | ٢٦ 26 |
At that time Joshua invoked this solemn oath: “Cursed before the LORD is the man who rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho; at the cost of his firstborn he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
| وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ يَشُوعَ، وَكَانَ خَبَرُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
