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 Joshua, Fear not, neither be you dismayed: take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:
| فَتَفْعَلُ بِعَايٍ وَمَلِكِهَا كَمَا فَعَلْتَ بِأَرِيحَا وَمَلِكِهَا. غَيْرَ أَنَّ غَنِيمَتَهَا وَبَهَائِمَهَا تَنْهَبُونَهَا لِنُفُوسِكُمُ. ٱجْعَلْ كَمِينًا لِلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ وَرَائِهَا». | ٢ 2 |
And you shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall you take for a prey to yourselves: lay you 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 |
So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night.
| وَأَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلًا: «ٱنْظُرُوا! أَنْتُمْ تَكْمُنُونَ لِلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. لَا تَبْتَعِدُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَثِيرًا، وَكُونُوا كُلُّكُمْ مُسْتَعِدِّينَ. | ٤ 4 |
And he commanded them, saying, Behold, you shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be you all ready:
| وَأَمَّا أَنَا وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعِي فَنَقْتَرِبُ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. وَيَكُونُ حِينَمَا يَخْرُجُونَ لِلِقَائِنَا كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ أَنَّنَا نَهْرُبُ قُدَّامَهُمْ، | ٥ 5 |
And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach to the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
| فَيَخْرُجُونَ وَرَاءَنَا حَتَّى نَجْذِبَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. لِأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُمْ هَارِبُونَ أَمَامَنَا كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ. فَنَهْرُبُ قُدَّامَهُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.
| وَأَنْتُمْ تَقُومُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمَكْمَنِ وَتَمْلِكُونَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، وَيَدْفَعُهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِيَدِكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
Then you shall rise up from the ambush, and seize on the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
| وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ أَخْذِكُمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ أَنَّكُمْ تُضْرِمُونَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِٱلنَّارِ. كَقَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ تَفْعَلُونَ. ٱنْظُرُوا. قَدْ أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ». | ٨ 8 |
And it shall be, when you have taken the city, that you shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall you do. See, I have commanded you.
| فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ يَشُوعُ، فَسَارُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَكْمَنِ، وَلَبِثُوا بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَعَايٍ غَرْبِيَّ عَايٍ. وَبَاتَ يَشُوعُ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٩ 9 |
Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
| فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ وَعَدَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ، وَصَعِدَ هُوَ وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قُدَّامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى عَايٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
| وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ صَعِدُوا وَتَقَدَّمُوا وَأَتَوْا إِلَى مُقَابِلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَنَزَلُوا شِمَالِيَّ عَايٍ، وَٱلْوَادِي بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ عَايٍ. | ١١ 11 |
And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.
| فَأَخَذَ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ وَجَعَلَهُمْ كَمِينًا بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَعَايٍ غَرْبِيَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
| وَأَقَامُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ، أَيْ كُلَّ ٱلْجَيْشِ ٱلَّذِي شِمَالِيَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَمِينَهُ غَرْبِيَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. وَسَارَ يَشُوعُ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ إِلَى وَسَطِ ٱلْوَادِي. | ١٣ 13 |
And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the middle 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 it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hurried and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he knew not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
| فَأَعْطَى يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱنْكِسَارًا أَمَامَهُمْ وَهَرَبُوا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
| فَأُلْقِيَ ٱلصَّوْتُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِلسَّعْيِ وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَسَعَوْا وَرَاءَ يَشُوعَ وَٱنْجَذَبُوا عَنِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away 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 there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «مُدَّ ٱلْمِزْرَاقَ ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِكَ نَحْوَ عَايٍ لِأَنِّي بِيَدِكَ أَدْفَعُهَا». فَمَدَّ يَشُوعُ ٱلْمِزْرَاقَ ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And the LORD said to Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai; for I will give it into your hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
| فَقَامَ ٱلْكَمِينُ بِسُرْعَةٍ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ وَرَكَضُوا عِنْدَمَا مَدَّ يَدَهُ، وَدَخَلُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَأَخَذُوهَا، وَأَسْرَعُوا وَأَحْرَقُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِٱلنَّارِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hurried and set the city 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 when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ ٱلْكَمِينَ قَدْ أَخَذَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، وَأَنَّ دُخَانَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ قَدْ صَعِدَ، ٱنْثَنَوْا وَضَرَبُوا رِجَالَ عَايٍ. | ٢١ 21 |
And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
| 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 the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the middle of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
| وَأَمَّا مَلِكُ عَايٍ فَأَمْسَكُوهُ حَيًّا وَتَقَدَّمُوا بِهِ إِلَى يَشُوعَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
| 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 |
And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
| فَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِنْ رِجَالٍ وَنِسَاءٍ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، جَمِيعُ أَهْلِ عَايٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
| وَيَشُوعُ لَمْ يَرُدَّ يَدَهُ ٱلَّتِي مَدَّهَا بِٱلْمِزْرَاقِ حَتَّى حَرَّمَ جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ عَايٍ. | ٢٦ 26 |
For Joshua drew not his hand back, with which he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
| لَكِنِ ٱلْبَهَائِمُ وَغَنِيمَةُ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ نَهَبَهَا إِسْرَائِيلُ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ يَشُوعَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey to themselves, according to the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.
| وَأَحْرَقَ يَشُوعُ عَايَ وَجَعَلَهَا تَّلًا أَبَدِيًّا خَرَابًا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation to this day.
| 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 the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcass down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remains to this day.
| حِينَئِذٍ بَنَى يَشُوعُ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَبَلِ عِيبَالَ، | ٣٠ 30 |
Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,
| 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 commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man has lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
| وَكَتَبَ هُنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلْحِجَارَةِ نُسْخَةَ تَوْرَاةِ مُوسَى ٱلَّتِي كَتَبَهَا أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of 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 Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
| وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَرَأَ جَمِيعَ كَلَامِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ: ٱلْبَرَكَةَ وَٱللَّعْنَةَ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا كُتِبَ فِي سِفْرِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book 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 |
There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
