يَشُوع 6
| وَكَانَتْ أَرِيحَا مُغَلَّقَةً مُقَفَّلَةً بِسَبَبِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا أَحَدٌ يَخْرُجُ وَلَا أَحَدٌ يَدْخُلُ. | ١ 1 |
Jericho's gates were shut and barred because of the Israelites. Nobody was allowed in or out.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱنْظُرْ. قَدْ دَفَعْتُ بِيَدِكَ أَرِيحَا وَمَلِكَهَا، جَبَابِرَةَ ٱلْبَأْسِ. | ٢ 2 |
But the Lord told Joshua, “I'm handing over the city of Jericho to you, along with its king and its army of warriors.
| تَدُورُونَ دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ. حَوْلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُونَ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ٣ 3 |
March around the city with your armed men once a day for six days.
| وَسَبْعَةُ كَهَنَةٍ يَحْمِلُونَ أَبْوَاقَ ٱلْهُتَافِ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ. وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ تَدُورُونَ دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. | ٤ 4 |
Seven priests are to go ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram's horn. On the seventh day, march seven times around the city, with the priests blowing their rams' 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 |
When you hear a long blast on the rams' horns, everyone shall give a really loud shout. The city walls will collapse, and every man can go right in.”
| 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, sent for the priests, and told them, “Pick up the Ark of Agreement, and have seven priests carry seven rams' horns and go ahead of the Ark of the Lord.”
| وَقَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ: «ٱجْتَازُوا وَدُورُوا دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَلْيَجْتَزِ ٱلْمُتَجَرِّدُ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ٧ 7 |
Then he told the people, “Move out! March around the city with the armed men up front 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 |
When Joshua finished speaking to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven rams' horns in the presence of the Lord started out, blowing the horns, with the Ark following behind.
| وَكُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ سَائِرٌ أَمَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلضَّارِبِينَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. وَٱلسَّاقَةُ سَائِرَةٌ وَرَاءَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ. كَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ وَيَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. | ٩ 9 |
Some of the armed men marched ahead of the priests blowing the horns, while some followed the Ark, the horns being blown continually.
| وَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَهْتِفُوا وَلَا تُسَمِّعُوا صَوْتَكُمْ، وَلَا تَخْرُجْ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمْ كَلِمَةٌ حَتَّى يَوْمَ أَقُولُ لَكُمُ: ٱهْتِفُوا. فَتَهْتِفُونَ». | ١٠ 10 |
However, Joshua ordered them, “Don't shout, don't even talk. Don't say anything until I tell you all to shout—then shout!”
| فَدَارَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا ٱلْمَحَلَّةَ وَبَاتُوا فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ١١ 11 |
So the Ark of the Lord was carried around the city, circling it once. Then they returned to the camp and spent the night there.
| فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ، وَحَمَلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ١٢ 12 |
Joshua got up early in the morning, and the priests picked up 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 |
The seven priests with the seven rams' horns went ahead of the Ark of the Lord, blowing the horns. The armed men went before them and behind the Ark of the Lord, the horns being blown continually.
| 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, circling it once, and returned to the camp. They did this for a total of 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 |
On the seventh day they got up at dawn and marched around the city in the usual way, except that this 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 |
The seventh time around when the priests blew the horns, Joshua told the people, “Shout! For today the Lord has given 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 |
The city and everything in it is to be set apart for the Lord and destroyed. Only Rahab the prostitute and all those with her in her house shall be spared, 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 stay away from everything set apart for the Lord, for if you were to take anything you too would be liable to be destroyed, and you would also bring disaster on the camp of Israel.
| وَكُلُّ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَآنِيَةِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ تَكُونُ قُدْسًا لِلرَّبِّ وَتَدْخُلُ فِي خِزَانَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٩ 19 |
All the silver and the gold, and everything made of bronze and iron, are holy to the Lord and they must be placed in the Lord's 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 as soon as they heard the sound of the horns, the people gave a loud shout, and the city walls collapsed. The men went in right away and captured the city.
| وَحَرَّمُوا كُلَّ مَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَٱمْرَأَةٍ، مِنْ طِفْلٍ وَشَيْخٍ، حَتَّى ٱلْبَقَرَ وَٱلْغَنَمَ وَٱلْحَمِيرَ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٢١ 21 |
They destroyed everything in the city: men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, and donkeys, all were killed by the sword.
| وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلرَّجُلَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ تَجَسَّسَا ٱلْأَرْضَ: «ٱدْخُلَا بَيْتَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلزَّانِيَةِ وَأَخْرِجَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا كَمَا حَلَفْتُمَا لَهَا». | ٢٢ 22 |
Joshua had told the two men who had gone to explore the land, “Go to the house of Rahab the prostitute and bring her out together with all her family, as you promised.”
| فَدَخَلَ ٱلْغُلَامَانِ ٱلْجَاسُوسَانِ وَأَخْرَجَا رَاحَابَ وَأَبَاهَا وَأُمَّهَا وَإِخْوَتَهَا وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا، وَأَخْرَجَا كُلَّ عَشَائِرِهَا وَتَرَكَاهُمْ خَارِجَ مَحَلَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So the spies went and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, and all who were with her. They brought out the whole family and took them to a place near the Israelite camp.
| وَأَحْرَقُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِٱلنَّارِ مَعَ كُلِّ مَا بِهَا، إِنَّمَا ٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلذَّهَبُ وَآنِيَةُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ جَعَلُوهَا فِي خِزَانَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Then the Israelites burned down the city and everything in it, except for the silver and the gold, and everything made of bronze and iron, which they placed in 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 |
Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute and her family because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho. And she lives 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 declared a curse, saying: “Cursed before the Lord is anyone who attempts to rebuild this city of Jericho. He lays its foundation at the cost of his firstborn son; he sets up its gates at the cost of his youngest son.”
| وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ يَشُوعَ، وَكَانَ خَبَرُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
