يَشُوع 14

١ 1 وَأَوْرَثَ أَلِعَازَارُ الْكَاهِنُ وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَقَادَةُ الشَّعْبِ أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا فِي كَنْعَانَ

And these [are] they of the children of Israel that received their inheritance in the land of Chanaan, to whom Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the [son] of Naue, and the heads of the families of the tribes of the children of Israel, gave inheritance.

٢ 2 وَتَمَّ تَوْزِيعُهَا عَلَى التِّسْعَةِ الأَسْبَاطِ وَنِصْفِ السِّبْطِ بِالْقُرْعَةِ بِمُوْجِبِ مَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى

They inherited according to their lots, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Joshua to the nine tribes and the half tribe, on the other side of Jordan.

٣ 3 إِذْ إِنَّ مُوسَى كَانَ قَدْ وَهَبَ السِّبْطَيْنِ وَنِصْفَ السِّبْطِ مِيرَاثاً فِي شَرْقِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَأَمَّا اللّاوِيُّونَ فَلَمْ يُوَرِّثْهُمْ نَصِيباً بَيْنَهُمْ،

But to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

٤ 4 لأَنَّ ذُرِّيَّةَ يُوسُفَ كَانَتْ تَنْتَمِي إِلَى سِبْطَيْ مَنَسَّى وَأَفْرَايِمَ، أَمَّا اللّاوِيُّونَ فَلَمْ يُوَزِّعْ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِمْ أَرْضاً وَلَمْ يُوَرِّثْهُمْ سِوَى مُدُنٍ يُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا وَمَرَاعٍ مُجَاوِرَةٍ لِرَعْيِ مَوَاشِيهِمْ وَبَهَائِمِهِمْ.

For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasse and Ephraim; and there was none inheritance in the land given to the Levites, only cities to dwell in, and their suburbs separated for the cattle, and their cattle.

٥ 5 وَهَكَذَا قَسَمَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الأَرْضَ طِبْقاً لأَمْرِ الرَّبِّ لِمُوسَى.

As the Lord commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel; and they divided the land.

٦ 6 وَأَقْبَلَ وَفْدٌ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا عَلَى يَشُوعَ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ، وَقَالَ لَهُ كَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ الْقَنِزِّيُّ: «أَنْتَ تَذْكُرُ مَا خَاطَبَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى رَجُلَ اللهِ بِشَأْنِي وَشَأْنِكَ فِي قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ،

And the children of Juda came to Joshua in Galgal, and Chaleb the [son] of Jephone the Kenezite said to him, You know the word that the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and you in Cades Barne.

٧ 7 فَقَدْ كُنْتُ فِي الأَرْبَعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِي حِينَ أَرْسَلَنِي مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ، مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ لأَتَجَسَّسَ الأَرْضَ، فَعُدْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَأَنْبَأْتُهُ بِمَا كَانَ قَلْبِي مُقْتَنِعاً بِهِ.

For I was forty years old when Moses the servant of God sent me out of Cades Barne to spy out the land; and I returned him an answer according to his mind.

٨ 8 أَمَّا إِخْوَتِي الَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا مَعِي فَقَدْ مَلَأُوا قَلْبَ الشَّعْبِ رُعْباً بِأَخْبَارِهِمْ عَنْ أَهْلِ أَرْضِ الْمَوْعِدِ. لَكِنَّنِي اتَّبَعْتُ الرَّبَّ إِلَهِي مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي.

My brethren that went up with me turned away the heart of the people, but I applied my self to follow the Lord my God.

٩ 9 لِذَلِكَ حَلَفَ مُوسَى فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَائِلاً: إِنَّ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَطِئَتْهَا قَدَمَاكَ تَكُونُ لَكَ وَلأَوْلادِكَ نَصِيباً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّكَ اتَّبَعْتَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهِي مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ.

And Moses sware on that day, saying, The land on which you are gone up, it shall be your inheritance and your children's for ever, because you have applied yourself to follow the Lord our God.

١٠ 10 وَهَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ أَبْقَانِي عَلَى قَيْدِ الْحَيَاةِ، كَمَا وَعَدَ، خَمْسَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً مُنْذُ أَنْ خَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ حِينَ تَاهَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي الْقَفْرِ، فَأَصْبَحْتُ الآنَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالثَّمَانِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِي،

And now the Lord has kept me alive as he said: this [is] the forty-fifth year since the Lord spoke that word to Moses; and Israel journeyed in the wilderness; and now, behold, I [am] this day eighty-five years old.

١١ 11 وَلَمْ أَزَلْ مُتَمَتِّعاً بِالْقُوَّةِ كَالْعَهْدِ بِي عِنْدَمَا أَرْسَلَنِي لِتَجَسُّسِ الأَرْضِ، فَقُوَّتِي مَا بَرِحَتْ كَمَا هِيَ إِنْ لِلْحَرْبِ أَوْ لِلدُّخُولِ وَالْخُرُوجِ.

I am still strong this day, as when the Lord sent me: just so strong am I now to go out and to come in for war.

١٢ 12 وَالآنَ، هَبْنِي إِقْلِيمَ الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ عَنْهُ الرَّبُّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ سَمِعْتَ آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ الْعَنَاقِيِّينَ كَانُوا هُنَاكَ، وَأَنَّ مُدُنَهُمْ ضَخْمَةٌ وَحَصِينَةٌ، لَعَلِّي أَطْرُدُهُمْ بِمَعُونَةِ الرَّبِّ كَمَا وَعَدَ».

And now I ask of you this mountain, as the Lord said in that day; for you heard this word on that day; and now the Enakim are there, cities great and strong: if then the Lord should be with me, I will utterly destroy them, as the Lord said to me.

١٣ 13 فَبَارَكَهُ يَشُوعُ وَأَعْطَاهُ حَبْرُونَ مِلْكاً لَهُ.

And Joshua blessed him, and gave Chebron to Chaleb the son of Jephone the son of Kenez for an inheritance.

١٤ 14 وَهَكَذَا وَرِثَ كَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ الْقَنِزِّيُّ حَبْرُونَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، لأَنَّهُ اتَّبَعَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِهِ.

Therefore Chebron became the inheritance of Chaleb the [son] of Jephone the Kenezite until this day, because he followed the commandment of the Lord God of Israel.

١٥ 15 وَكَانَتْ حَبْرُونُ تُدْعَى مِنْ قَبْلُ قَرْيَةَ أَرْبَعَ عَلَى اسْمِ بَطَلِ الْعَنَاقِيِّينَ الأَعْظَمِ. ثُمَّ اسْتَرَاحَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنَ الْحَرْبِ.

And the name of Chebron before was the city Argob, it [is] the metropolis of the Enakim: and the land rested from war.
