يَشُوع 8
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ. خُذْ مَعَكَ جَمِيعَ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَقُمِ ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى عَايٍ. ٱنْظُرْ. قَدْ دَفَعْتُ بِيَدِكَ مَلِكَ عَايٍ وَشَعْبَهُ وَمَدِينَتَهُ وَأَرْضَهُ، | ١ 1 |
And the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.
| فَتَفْعَلُ بِعَايٍ وَمَلِكِهَا كَمَا فَعَلْتَ بِأَرِيحَا وَمَلِكِهَا. غَيْرَ أَنَّ غَنِيمَتَهَا وَبَهَائِمَهَا تَنْهَبُونَهَا لِنُفُوسِكُمُ. ٱجْعَلْ كَمِينًا لِلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ وَرَائِهَا». | ٢ 2 |
And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.
| فَقَامَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ لِلصُّعُودِ إِلَى عَايٍ. وَٱنْتَخَبَ يَشُوعُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ جَبَابِرَةَ ٱلْبَأْسِ وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ لَيْلًا، | ٣ 3 |
And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night,
| وَأَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلًا: «ٱنْظُرُوا! أَنْتُمْ تَكْمُنُونَ لِلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. لَا تَبْتَعِدُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَثِيرًا، وَكُونُوا كُلُّكُمْ مُسْتَعِدِّينَ. | ٤ 4 |
And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.
| وَأَمَّا أَنَا وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعِي فَنَقْتَرِبُ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. وَيَكُونُ حِينَمَا يَخْرُجُونَ لِلِقَائِنَا كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ أَنَّنَا نَهْرُبُ قُدَّامَهُمْ، | ٥ 5 |
But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:
| فَيَخْرُجُونَ وَرَاءَنَا حَتَّى نَجْذِبَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. لِأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُمْ هَارِبُونَ أَمَامَنَا كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ. فَنَهْرُبُ قُدَّامَهُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
| وَأَنْتُمْ تَقُومُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمَكْمَنِ وَتَمْلِكُونَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، وَيَدْفَعُهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِيَدِكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.
| وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ أَخْذِكُمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ أَنَّكُمْ تُضْرِمُونَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِٱلنَّارِ. كَقَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ تَفْعَلُونَ. ٱنْظُرُوا. قَدْ أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ». | ٨ 8 |
And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
| فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ يَشُوعُ، فَسَارُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَكْمَنِ، وَلَبِثُوا بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَعَايٍ غَرْبِيَّ عَايٍ. وَبَاتَ يَشُوعُ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٩ 9 |
And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people,
| فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ وَعَدَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ، وَصَعِدَ هُوَ وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قُدَّامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى عَايٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.
| وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ صَعِدُوا وَتَقَدَّمُوا وَأَتَوْا إِلَى مُقَابِلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَنَزَلُوا شِمَالِيَّ عَايٍ، وَٱلْوَادِي بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ عَايٍ. | ١١ 11 |
And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.
| فَأَخَذَ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ وَجَعَلَهُمْ كَمِينًا بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَعَايٍ غَرْبِيَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city:
| وَأَقَامُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ، أَيْ كُلَّ ٱلْجَيْشِ ٱلَّذِي شِمَالِيَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَمِينَهُ غَرْبِيَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. وَسَارَ يَشُوعُ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ إِلَى وَسَطِ ٱلْوَادِي. | ١٣ 13 |
But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَأَى مَلِكُ عَايٍ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُمْ أَسْرَعُوا وَبَكَّرُوا، وَخَرَجَ رِجَالُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِلِقَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلْحَرْبِ، هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ شَعْبِهِ فِي ٱلْمِيعَادِ إِلَى قُدَّامِ ٱلسَّهْلِ، وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ عَلَيْهِ كَمِينًا وَرَاءَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.
| فَأَعْطَى يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱنْكِسَارًا أَمَامَهُمْ وَهَرَبُوا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ١٥ 15 |
But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.
| فَأُلْقِيَ ٱلصَّوْتُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِلسَّعْيِ وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَسَعَوْا وَرَاءَ يَشُوعَ وَٱنْجَذَبُوا عَنِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,
| وَلَمْ يَبْقَ فِي عَايٍ أَوْ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلٍ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ وَرَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَتَرَكُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ مَفْتُوحَةً وَسَعَوْا وَرَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «مُدَّ ٱلْمِزْرَاقَ ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِكَ نَحْوَ عَايٍ لِأَنِّي بِيَدِكَ أَدْفَعُهَا». فَمَدَّ يَشُوعُ ٱلْمِزْرَاقَ ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٨ 18 |
The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.
| فَقَامَ ٱلْكَمِينُ بِسُرْعَةٍ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ وَرَكَضُوا عِنْدَمَا مَدَّ يَدَهُ، وَدَخَلُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَأَخَذُوهَا، وَأَسْرَعُوا وَأَحْرَقُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِٱلنَّارِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ رِجَالُ عَايٍ إِلَى وَرَائِهِمْ وَنَظَرُوا وَإِذَا دُخَانُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ قَدْ صَعِدَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ. فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ مَكَانٌ لِلْهَرَبِ هُنَا أَوْ هُنَاكَ. وَٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْهَارِبُ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ ٱنْقَلَبَ عَلَى ٱلطَّارِدِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ ٱلْكَمِينَ قَدْ أَخَذَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، وَأَنَّ دُخَانَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ قَدْ صَعِدَ، ٱنْثَنَوْا وَضَرَبُوا رِجَالَ عَايٍ. | ٢١ 21 |
So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.
| وَهَؤُلَاءِ خَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِلِقَائِهِمْ، فَكَانُوا فِي وَسَطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ هُنَا وَأُولَئِكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. وَضَرَبُوهُمْ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ شَارِدٌ وَلَا مُنْفَلِتٌ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved.
| وَأَمَّا مَلِكُ عَايٍ فَأَمْسَكُوهُ حَيًّا وَتَقَدَّمُوا بِهِ إِلَى يَشُوعَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى إِسْرَائِيلُ مِنْ قَتْلِ جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ عَايٍ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ حَيْثُ لَحِقُوهُمْ وَسَقَطُوا جَمِيعًا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ حَتَّى فَنُوا، أَنَّ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ رَجَعَ إِلَى عَايٍ وَضَرَبُوهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
So all being slain that had pursued after Israel in his flight to the wilderness, and tailing by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city.
| فَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِنْ رِجَالٍ وَنِسَاءٍ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، جَمِيعُ أَهْلِ عَايٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.
| وَيَشُوعُ لَمْ يَرُدَّ يَدَهُ ٱلَّتِي مَدَّهَا بِٱلْمِزْرَاقِ حَتَّى حَرَّمَ جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ عَايٍ. | ٢٦ 26 |
But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.
| لَكِنِ ٱلْبَهَائِمُ وَغَنِيمَةُ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ نَهَبَهَا إِسْرَائِيلُ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ يَشُوعَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
| وَأَحْرَقَ يَشُوعُ عَايَ وَجَعَلَهَا تَّلًا أَبَدِيًّا خَرَابًا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
| وَمَلِكُ عَايٍ عَلَّقَهُ عَلَى ٱلْخَشَبَةِ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلْمَسَاءِ. وَعِنْدَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ أَمَرَ يَشُوعُ فَأَنْزَلُوا جُثَّتَهُ عَنِ ٱلْخَشَبَةِ وَطَرَحُوهَا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَقَامُوا عَلَيْهَا رُجْمَةَ حِجَارَةٍ عَظِيمَةً إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.
| حِينَئِذٍ بَنَى يَشُوعُ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَبَلِ عِيبَالَ، | ٣٠ 30 |
Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
| كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي سِفْرِ تَوْرَاةِ مُوسَى. مَذْبَحَ حِجَارَةٍ صَحِيحَةٍ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ أَحَدٌ عَلَيْهَا حَدِيدًا، وَأَصْعَدُوا عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ، وَذَبَحُوا ذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings.
| وَكَتَبَ هُنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلْحِجَارَةِ نُسْخَةَ تَوْرَاةِ مُوسَى ٱلَّتِي كَتَبَهَا أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.
| وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَشُيُوخُهُمْ، وَٱلْعُرَفَاءُ وَقُضَاتُهُمْ، وَقَفُوا جَانِبَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ مِنْ هُنَا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ مُقَابِلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٱلْغَرِيبُ كَمَا ٱلْوَطَنِيُّ. نِصْفُهُمْ إِلَى جِهَةِ جَبَلِ جِرِزِّيمَ، وَنِصْفُهُمْ إِلَى جِهَةِ جَبَلِ عِيبَالَ، كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَوَّلًا لِبَرَكَةِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel.
| وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَرَأَ جَمِيعَ كَلَامِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ: ٱلْبَرَكَةَ وَٱللَّعْنَةَ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا كُتِبَ فِي سِفْرِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook of the law.
| لَمْ تَكُنْ كَلِمَةٌ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ مُوسَى لَمْ يَقْرَأْهَا يَشُوعُ قُدَّامَ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلْأَطْفَالِ وَٱلْغَرِيبِ ٱلسَّائِرِ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt among them.
