يَشُوع 1

١ 1 وَكَانَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ مُوسَى عَبْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ كَلَّمَ يَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونٍ خَادِمَ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,

٢ 2 «مُوسَى عَبْدِي قَدْ مَاتَ. فَٱلْآنَ قُمْ ٱعْبُرْ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا مُعْطِيهَا لَهُمْ أَيْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

٣ 3 كُلَّ مَوْضِعٍ تَدُوسُهُ بُطُونُ أَقْدَامِكُمْ لَكُمْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ، كَمَا كَلَّمْتُ مُوسَى.

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread on, that have I given to you, as I said to Moses.

٤ 4 مِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَلُبْنَانَ هَذَا إِلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلْكَبِيرِ نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ، جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ ٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ، وَإِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْكَبِيرِ نَحْوَ مَغْرِبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ يَكُونُ تُخْمُكُمْ.

From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

٥ 5 لَا يَقِفُ إِنْسَانٌ فِي وَجْهِكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ. كَمَا كُنْتُ مَعَ مُوسَى أَكُونُ مَعَكَ. لَا أُهْمِلُكَ وَلَا أَتْرُكُكَ.

There shall not any man be able to stand before you all the days of your life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you: I will not fail you, nor forsake you.

٦ 6 تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَقْسِمُ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتُ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُمْ.

Be strong and of a good courage: for to this people shall you divide for an inheritance the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.

٧ 7 إِنَّمَا كُنْ مُتَشَدِّدًا، وَتَشَجَّعْ جِدًّا لِكَيْ تَتَحَفَّظَ لِلْعَمَلِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَكَ بِهَا مُوسَى عَبْدِي. لَا تَمِلْ عَنْهَا يَمِينًا وَلَا شِمَالًا لِكَيْ تُفْلِحَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ.

Only be you strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

٨ 8 لَا يَبْرَحْ سِفْرُ هَذِهِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ مِنْ فَمِكَ، بَلْ تَلْهَجُ فِيهِ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا، لِكَيْ تَتَحَفَّظَ لِلْعَمَلِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهِ. لِأَنَّكَ حِينَئِذٍ تُصْلِحُ طَرِيقَكَ وَحِينَئِذٍ تُفْلِحُ.

This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

٩ 9 أَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ؟ تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ! لَا تَرْهَبْ وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مَعَكَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ».

Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

١٠ 10 فَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ عُرَفَاءَ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا:

Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

١١ 11 «جُوزُوا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ وَأْمُرُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلِينَ: هَيِّئُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ زَادًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ تَعْبُرُونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ هَذَا لِكَيْ تَدْخُلُوا فَتَمْتَلِكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا».

Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days you shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ يَشُوعُ ٱلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى قَائِلًا:

And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,

١٣ 13 «ٱذْكُرُوا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِهِ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ قَدْ أَرَاحَكُمْ وَأَعْطَاكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God has given you rest, and has given you this land.

١٤ 14 نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ تَلْبَثُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْبُرُونَ مُتَجَهِّزِينَ أَمَامَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ، كُلُّ ٱلْأَبْطَالِ ذَوِي ٱلْبَأْسِ، وَتُعِينُونَهُمْ

Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but you shall pass before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them;

١٥ 15 حَتَّى يُرِيحَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِخْوَتَكُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ، وَيَمْتَلِكُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيهِمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِيرَاثِكُمْ وَتَمْتَلِكُونَهَا، ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ شُرُوقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ».

Until the LORD have given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them: then you shall return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’s servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sun rise.

١٦ 16 فَأَجَابُوا يَشُوعَ قَائِلِينَ: «كُلَّ مَا أَمَرْتَنَا بِهِ نَعْمَلُهُ، وَحَيْثُمَا تُرْسِلْنَا نَذْهَبْ.

And they answered Joshua, saying, All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us, we will go.

١٧ 17 حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا سَمِعْنَا لِمُوسَى نَسْمَعُ لَكَ. إِنَّمَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ يَكُونُ مَعَكَ كَمَا كَانَ مَعَ مُوسَى.

According as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you: only the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.

١٨ 18 كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَعْصَى قَوْلَكَ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَأْمُرُهُ بِهِ يُقْتَلُ. إِنَّمَا كُنْ مُتَشَدِّدًا وَتَشَجَّعْ».

Whoever he be that does rebel against your commandment, and will not listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
