يَشُوع 6
| وَكَانَتْ أَرِيحَا مُغَلَّقَةً مُقَفَّلَةً بِسَبَبِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا أَحَدٌ يَخْرُجُ وَلَا أَحَدٌ يَدْخُلُ. | ١ 1 |
Now Jericho was closed as well as fortified, out of fear of the sons of Israel, and no one dared to depart or to enter.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱنْظُرْ. قَدْ دَفَعْتُ بِيَدِكَ أَرِيحَا وَمَلِكَهَا، جَبَابِرَةَ ٱلْبَأْسِ. | ٢ 2 |
And the Lord said to Joshua: “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and all the strong men.
| تَدُورُونَ دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ. حَوْلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُونَ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ٣ 3 |
Have all the warriors circle the city once each day; you shall do so for six days.
| وَسَبْعَةُ كَهَنَةٍ يَحْمِلُونَ أَبْوَاقَ ٱلْهُتَافِ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ. وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ تَدُورُونَ دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. | ٤ 4 |
Then, on the seventh day, the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used on the jubilee, and they shall precede the ark of the covenant. And you shall circle the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.
| 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 the voice of the trumpet sounds longer and with interruptions, and it increases in your ears, then all the people shall cry out together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the foundation, and they shall enter it, each from a place opposite where they are standing.”
| فَدَعَا يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونٍ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱحْمِلُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلْعَهْدِ. وَلْيَحْمِلْ سَبْعَةُ كَهَنَةٍ سَبْعَةَ أَبْوَاقِ هُتَافٍ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ٦ 6 |
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, called the priests, and he said to them, “Take the ark of the covenant, and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and advance before the ark of the Lord.”
| وَقَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ: «ٱجْتَازُوا وَدُورُوا دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَلْيَجْتَزِ ٱلْمُتَجَرِّدُ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ٧ 7 |
He also said to the people, “Go, and circle the city, armed, preceding 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 |
And when Joshua had finished his words, and the seven priests sounded the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
| وَكُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ سَائِرٌ أَمَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلضَّارِبِينَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. وَٱلسَّاقَةُ سَائِرَةٌ وَرَاءَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ. كَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ وَيَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. | ٩ 9 |
and all the armed soldiers went ahead, the remainder of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets grew louder everywhere.
| 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 instructed the people, saying, “You shall not cry out, nor shall your voice be heard, and no word at all shall proceed from your mouth, until the day arrives on which I will say to you, ‘Cry out, and shout.’”
| فَدَارَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا ٱلْمَحَلَّةَ وَبَاتُوا فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ١١ 11 |
Thus, the ark of the Lord circled the city once each day, and returning to the camp, it remained there.
| فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ، وَحَمَلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ١٢ 12 |
And so, with Joshua, arising in the night, 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 seven of them took the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and they preceded the ark of the Lord, walking and sounding the trumpets. And the armed men went before them, and the remainder of the common people followed the ark, and they were blaring the trumpets.
| وَدَارُوا بِٱلْمَدِينَةِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. هَكَذَا فَعَلُوا سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
And they circled the city on the second day, once, and they returned to the camp. They did so 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, rising at first light, they circled the city, just as had been ordered, seven times.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْمَرَّةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ عِنْدَمَا ضَرَبَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ قَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ: «ٱهْتِفُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And at the seventh circling, when the priests sounded the trumpets, Joshua said to all of Israel: “Shout! For the Lord has delivered the city to you.
| 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 |
And let this city be anathema, with all the things that are within it, before the Lord. May only Rahab the harlot live, with all who are with her in the house. For she hid the messengers whom we sent.
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَٱحْتَرِزُوا مِنَ ٱلْحَرَامِ لِئَلَّا تُحَرَّمُوا، وَتَأْخُذُوا مِنَ ٱلْحَرَامِ وَتَجْعَلُوا مَحَلَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُحَرَّمَةً وَتُكَدِّرُوهَا. | ١٨ 18 |
But you must be careful that you do not touch any of those things, as you have been instructed, for then you would be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel would be under sin and would be troubled.
| وَكُلُّ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَآنِيَةِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ تَكُونُ قُدْسًا لِلرَّبِّ وَتَدْخُلُ فِي خِزَانَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٩ 19 |
But whatever gold and silver there will be, and vessels of brass or of iron, let these be consecrated to the Lord and be stored in his treasuries.”
| 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 |
Therefore, with all the people shouting, and the trumpets blaring, after the voice and the sound increased in the ears of the multitude, the walls promptly fell to ruin. And each one climbed up at the place which was opposite where he was. And they seized the city.
| وَحَرَّمُوا كُلَّ مَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَٱمْرَأَةٍ، مِنْ طِفْلٍ وَشَيْخٍ، حَتَّى ٱلْبَقَرَ وَٱلْغَنَمَ وَٱلْحَمِيرَ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And they put to death all who were in it, from man even to woman, from infant even to elder. Likewise, the oxen and sheep and donkeys, they struck down with the edge of the sword.
| وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلرَّجُلَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ تَجَسَّسَا ٱلْأَرْضَ: «ٱدْخُلَا بَيْتَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلزَّانِيَةِ وَأَخْرِجَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا كَمَا حَلَفْتُمَا لَهَا». | ٢٢ 22 |
But Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to explore, “Enter the house of the harlot woman, and bring her out, and all the things that are hers, just as you assured her by oath.”
| فَدَخَلَ ٱلْغُلَامَانِ ٱلْجَاسُوسَانِ وَأَخْرَجَا رَاحَابَ وَأَبَاهَا وَأُمَّهَا وَإِخْوَتَهَا وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا، وَأَخْرَجَا كُلَّ عَشَائِرِهَا وَتَرَكَاهُمْ خَارِجَ مَحَلَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And the youths entered, and they led out Rahab, and her parents, also her brothers, and all her goods and kindred, and they caused them to dwell outside the camp.
| وَأَحْرَقُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِٱلنَّارِ مَعَ كُلِّ مَا بِهَا، إِنَّمَا ٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلذَّهَبُ وَآنِيَةُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ جَعَلُوهَا فِي خِزَانَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Then they set fire to the city and all the things that were within it, except the gold and silver, and the vessels of brass or of iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord.
| 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 |
Yet truly, Joshua caused Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all she had, to survive. And they lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day. For she hid the messengers, whom he had sent to explore Jericho. At that time, Joshua made an invocation, saying:
| وَحَلَفَ يَشُوعُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: «مَلْعُونٌ قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَقُومُ وَيَبْنِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ أَرِيحَا. بِبِكْرِهِ يُؤَسِّسُهَا وَبِصَغِيرِهِ يَنْصِبُ أَبْوَابَهَا». | ٢٦ 26 |
“Cursed before the Lord is the man who will raise up and rebuild the city of Jericho! With his firstborn, may he lay its foundation, and with the last of his children, may he set up its gates.”
| وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ يَشُوعَ، وَكَانَ خَبَرُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And so the Lord was with Joshua, and his name was made known throughout all the land.
