يَشُوع 2

١ 1 فَأَرْسَلَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونٍ سِرّاً مِنْ مُخَيَّمِ شِطِّيمَ جَاسُوسَيْنِ قَائِلاً: «اذْهَبَا وَاسْتَكْشِفَا الأَرْضَ وَأَرِيحَا». فانْطَلَقَا وَدَخَلا بَيْتَ امْرَأَةٍ زَانِيَةٍ اسْمُهَا رَاحَابُ وَبَاتَا هُنَاكَ.

And he sent Joshua [the] son of Nun from Shittim two men spies secretly saying go see the land and Jericho and they went and they went [the] house of a woman a prostitute and name her [was] Rahab and they lay down there.

٢ 2 فَقِيلَ لِمَلِكِ أَرِيحَا: «لَقَدْ تَسَلَّلَ هُنَا رَجُلانِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَتَجَسَّسَا الأَرْضَ».

And it was told to [the] king of Jericho saying here! men they have come hither this night from [the] people of Israel to spy out the land.

٣ 3 فَوَجَّهَ مَلِكُ أَرِيحَا إِلَى رَاحَابَ أَمْراً قَائِلاً: «أَخْرِجِي الْجَاسُوسَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ قَدِمَا عَلَيْكِ وَدَخَلا بَيْتَكِ، لأَنَّهُمَا قَدْ جَاءَا لِيَسْتَكْشِفَا الأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا».

And he sent [the] king of Jericho to Rahab saying bring out the men who came to you who they came to house your for to spy out all the land they have come.

٤ 4 فَأَخَذَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَخَبَّأَتْهُمَا وَقَالَتْ: «نَعَمْ جَاءَ إِلَيَّ الرَّجُلانِ، وَلَمْ أَعْرِفْ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلا.

And she took the woman [the] two the men and she hid him and she said - right they came to me the men and not I knew from where [were] they.

٥ 5 وَقَدْ غَادَرَا الْمَنْزِلَ قَبْلَ إِغْلاقِ بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ عِنْدَ حُلُولِ الظَّلامِ، وَلَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ أَيْنَ اتَّجَهَا، فَهَيَّا اسْعَوْا وَرَاءَهُمَا حَتَّى تَلْحَقُوا بِهِمَا».

And it was the gate [about] to shut at darkness and the men they went out not I know where? did they go the men pursue quickly after them for you will overtake them.

٦ 6 أَمَّا هِيَ فَأَصْعَدَتْهُمَا إِلَى السَّطْحِ حَيْثُ وَارَتْهُمَا بَيْنَ عِيدَانِ الْكَتَّانِ الْمُكَوَّمَةِ عَلَيْهِ.

And she she had taken up them the roof towards and she had hidden them among [the] flax of the tree that had been arranged by her on the roof.

٧ 7 فَاقْتَفَى الْقَوْمُ أَثَرَهُمَا فِي طَرِيقِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى الْمَخَاوِضِ، وَحَالَمَا انْطَلَقَ السَّاعُونَ وَرَاءَهُمَا، أُغْلِقَتْ بَوَّابَاتُ الْمَدِينَةِ.

And the men they pursued after them [the] road of the Jordan to the fords and the gate people closed after just when they had gone out the pursuers after them.

٨ 8 ثُمَّ صَعِدَتْ رَاحَابُ إِلَيْهِمَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْقُدَا،

And they not yet they had lain down! and she she went up to them on the roof.

٩ 9 وَقَالَتْ لَهُمَا: «لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ وَهَبَكُمُ الأَرْضَ، وَأَنَّ الْخَشْيَةَ مِنْكُمْ قَدِ اعْتَرَتْنَا، فَذَابَتْ قُلُوبُ جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ خَوْفاً مِنْكُمْ،

And she said to the men I know that he has given Yahweh to you the land and that it has fallen dread your on us and that they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of you.

١٠ 10 لأَنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا كَيْفَ شَقَّ الرَّبُّ لَكُمْ طَرِيقاً عَبْرَ مِيَاهِ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ لَدَى مُغَادَرَتِكُمْ دِيَارَ مِصْرَ، وَمَا صَنَعْتُمُوهُ بِمَلِكَيِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ سِيحُونَ وَعُوجَ اللَّذَيْنِ فِي شَرْقِيِّ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَكَيْفَ قَضَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمَا.

For we have heard this: he dried up Yahweh [the] waters of [the] sea of reed[s] from before you when came out you from Egypt and [that] which you did to [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [was] on [the] other side of the Jordan to Sihon and to Og whom you totally destroyed them.

١١ 11 لَقَدْ بَلَغَتْنَا هَذِهِ الأَخْبَارُ فَذَابَتْ قُلُوبُنَا مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَلَمْ تَبْقَ بَعْدُ رُوحٌ فِي إِنْسَانٍ رُعْباً مِنْكُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ هُوَ رَبُّ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ.

And we heard and it melted heart our and not it arose again spirit in anyone because of you for Yahweh God your he [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.

١٢ 12 فَالآنَ احْلِفَا لِي بِالرَّبِّ وَأَعْطِيَانِي عَلامَةَ أَمَانٍ، فَقَدْ صَنَعْتُ مَعَكُمَا مَعْرُوفاً، فَاصْنَعَا أَنْتُمَا أَيْضاً مَعْرُوفاً مَعَ بَيْتِ أَبِي.

And therefore swear please to me by Yahweh for I have done with you loyalty and you will do also you with [the] household of father my loyalty and you will give to me a sign of faithfulness.

١٣ 13 وَاسْتَحْيِيَا أَبِي وَأُمِّي وَإِخْوَتِي وَأَخَوَاتِي وَكُلَّ مَالَهُمْ، وَأَنْقِذَا أَنْفُسَنَا مِنَ الْمَوْتِ».

And you will let live father my and mother my and brothers my and (sisters my *Q(K)*) and all who [belong] to them and you will deliver lives our from death.

١٤ 14 فَأَجَابَهَا الرَّجُلانِ: «لِتَكُنْ أَنْفُسُنَا فِدَاءَ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، شَرْطَ أَلّا تُفْشُوا أَمْرَنَا هَذَا، وَإذَا وَهَبَنَا الرَّبُّ الأَرْضَ فَإِنَّنَا نَصْنَعُ مَعَكِ مَعْرُوفاً بِكُلِّ أَمَانَةٍ».

And they said to her the men life our for you to die if not you will tell business our this and it will be when gives Yahweh to us the land and we will do with you loyalty and faithfulness.

١٥ 15 فَدَلَّتْهُمَا بِحَبْلٍ مِنَ الْكُوَّةِ إِذْ كَانَ بَيْتُهَا مُلاصِقاً لِسُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ حَيْثُ كَانَتْ تُقِيمُ.

And she let down them with rope through the window for house her [was] in [the] wall of the city wall and in the city wall she [was] dwelling.

١٦ 16 وَقَالَتْ لَهُمَا: «اِتَّجِهَا نَحْوَ الْجَبَلِ لِئَلّا يُصَادِفَكُمَا السُّعَاةُ، وَتَوَارَيَا هُنَاكَ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعُوا، ثُمَّ امْضِيَا فِي طَرِيقِكُمَا».

And she said to them the hill country towards go lest they should meet you the pursuers and you will hide yourselves there three days until return the pursuers and after you will go to way your.

١٧ 17 فَقَالَ لَهَا الرَّجُلانِ: «سَنَكُونُ بَرِيئَيْنِ مِنَ الْيَمِينِ الَّذِي حَلَّفْتِنَا بِهِ،

And they said to her the men [will be] free we from oath your this which you made swear us.

١٨ 18 إِلّا إِذَا رَبَطْتِ لَدَى دُخُولِنَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ، هَذَا الْحَبْلَ الْمَصْنُوعَ مِنْ خُيُوطِ الْقِرْمِزِ فِي الْكُوَّةِ الَّتِي دَلَّيْتِنَا مِنْهَا، وَجَمَعْتِ إِلَيْكِ فِي الْبَيْتِ أَبَاكِ وَأُمَّكِ وَإِخْوَتَكِ وَسَائِرَ بَيْتِ أَبِيكِ.

Here! we [are] about to come in the land [the] cord of [the] thread of the scarlet this you will bind in the window which you let down us in it and father your and mother your and brothers your and all [the] household of father your you will gather to you the house towards.

١٩ 19 وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُغَادِرُ مَنْزِلَكِ يَكُونُ دَمُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَنَحْنُ نَكُونُ بَرِيئَيْنِ، وَأَمَّا كُلُّ مَنْ يَكُونُ مَعَكِ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَدَمُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِنَا إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ يَدٌ بِأَذىً.

And it will be every [one] who he will go out from [the] doors of house your - the outside towards blood his [will be] on own head his and we [will be] free and every [one] who he will be with you in the house blood his [will be] on head our if a hand it will be on him.

٢٠ 20 وَإِنْ أَفْشَيْتِ أَمْرَنَا فَإِنَّنَا نَكُونُ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ يَمِينِنَا».

And if you will tell business our this and we will be free from oath your which you made swear us.

٢١ 21 فَأَجَابَتْ: «فَلْيَكُنْ حَسَبَ قَوْلِكُمَا». وَصَرَفَتْهُمَا فَانْطَلَقَا، أَمَّا هِيَ فَرَبَطَتْ حَبْلَ الْقِرْمِزِ فِي الْكُوَّةِ.

And she said according to words your [be] so it and she sent off them and they went and she bound [the] cord of the scarlet in the window.

٢٢ 22 فَاتَّجَهَا نَحْوَ الْجَبَلِ حَيْثُ لَبِثَا هُنَاكَ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، إِلَى أَنْ رَجَعَ السُّعَاةُ بَعْدَ أَنْ بَحَثُوا عَنْهُمَا فِي كُلِّ الطَّرِيقِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَعْثُرُوا لَهُمَا عَلَى أَثَرٍ.

And they went and they came the hill country towards and they remained there three days until they returned the pursuers and they searched the pursuers in all the way and not they found [them].

٢٣ 23 ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ الرَّجُلانِ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ وَجَاءَا إِلَى يَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونٍ، وَحَدَّثَاهُ بِكُلِّ مَا جَرَى مَعَهُمَا.

And they returned [the] two the men and they went down from the hill country and they passed over and they came to Joshua [the] son of Nun and they recounted to him all the [things that] had found with them.

٢٤ 24 وَقَالا لِيَشُوعَ: «إِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ وَهَبَنَا الأَرْضَ، وَقَدْ خَارَتْ قُلُوبُ سُكَّانِهَا رُعْباً مِنَّا».

And they said to Joshua that he has given Yahweh in hand our all the land and also they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of us.
