يَشُوع 24

١ 1 ثُمَّ جَمَعَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي شَكِيمَ، وَدَعَا شُيُوخَهُمْ وَرُؤَسَاءَهُمْ وَقُضَاتَهُمْ وَعُرَفَاءَهُمْ فَمَثَلُوا فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ.

And he gathered Joshua all [the] tribes of Israel Shechem towards and he summoned [the] elders of Israel and leaders its and judges its and officials its and they presented themselves before God.

٢ 2 وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِجَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَقَدْ أَقَامَ أَجْدَادُكُمْ، وَمِنْ جُمْلَتِهِمْ تَارَحُ أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَبُو نَاحُورَ مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ فِي شَرْقِيِّ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ حَيْثُ عَبَدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى،

And he said Joshua to all the people thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel on [the] other side of the river they dwelt ancestors your from long ago Terah [the] father of Abraham and [the] father of Nahor and they served gods other.

٣ 3 فَأَخَذْتُ أَبَاكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنْ شَرْقِيِّ النَّهْرِ وَقُدْتُهُ عَبْرَ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ وَكَثَّرْتُ نَسْلَهُ، وَرَزَقْتُهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ،

And I took ancestor your Abraham from [the] other side of the river and I led him in all [the] land of Canaan (and I increased *Q(k)*) offspring his and I gave to him Isaac.

٤ 4 وَأَنْعَمْتُ عَلَى إِسْحَاقَ بِيَعْقُوبَ وَعِيسُو، فَوَهَبْتُ عِيسُو جَبَلَ سِعِيرَ مِيرَاثاً. وَأَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ فَقَدِ انْحَدَرُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ.

And I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau and I gave to Esau [the] mountain of Seir to take possession of it and Jacob and sons his they went down Egypt.

٥ 5 ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْتُ مُوسَى وَهرُونَ، وَأَنْزَلْتُ بِمِصْرَ الْبَلايَا بِسَبَبِ مَا صَنَعْتُهُ بِها، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجْتُكُمْ مِنْهَا.

And I sent Moses and Aaron and I struck Egypt just as I did in midst its and after I brought out you.

٦ 6 وَحَرَّرْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ مِصْرَ. وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا الْبَحْرَ الأَحْمَرَ وَلَحِقَ بِهِمِ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ بِمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَفُرْسَانٍ،

And I brought out fathers your from Egypt and you came the sea towards and they pursued Egypt after fathers your with chariotry and with horsemen [the] sea of reed[s].

٧ 7 اسْتَغَاثُوا بِي فَأَقَمْتُ حَاجِزاً مِنْ ظَلامٍ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، وَرَدَدْتُ الْبَحْرَ فَأَطْبَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَغَرِقُوا. وَشَهِدُوا بِأُمِّ أَعْيُنِهِمْ مَا صَنَعْتُهُ فِي مِصْرَ. وَأَقَامُوا فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ حِقْبَةً طَوِيلَةً.

And they cried out to Yahweh and he put darkness between you - and between the Egyptians and he brought over it the sea and it covered it and they saw eyes your [that] which I did in Egypt and you dwelt in the wilderness days many.

٨ 8 ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بِكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ فَحَارَبُوكُمْ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي أَسْلَمْتُهُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ، فَامْتَلَكْتُمْ أَرْضَهُمْ، وَأَبَدْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ.

(And I brought *Q(K)*) you to [the] land of the Amorite[s] who dwelt on [the] other side of the Jordan and they fought with you and I gave them in hand your and you took possession of land their and I destroyed them from before you.

٩ 9 وَهَبَّ بَالاقُ بْنُ صِفُّورَ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ لِمُحَارَبَتِكُمْ، وَاسْتَدْعَى إِلَيْهِ بَلْعَامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ لِكَيْ يَلْعَنَكُمْ.

And he arose Balak [the] son of Zippor [the] king of Moab and he fought against Israel and he sent and he summoned Balaam [the] son of Beor to curse you.

١٠ 10 فَلَمْ أُرِدْ أَنْ أَسْتَجِيبَ لِبَلْعَامَ، فَبَارَكَكُمْ بَرَكَةً بَعْدَ بَرَكَةٍ، وَأَنْقَذْتُكُمْ مِنْ يَدِهِ.

And not I was willing to listen to Balaam and he blessed continuously you and I delivered you from hand his.

١١ 11 ثُمَّ اجْتَزْتُمْ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ وَحَاصَرْتُمْ أَرِيحَا، فَتَصَدَّى لَكُمْ أَصْحَابُهَا الأَمُورِيُّونَ وَالْفِرِزِّيُّونَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَالْحِثِّيُّونَ وَالْجِرْجَاشِيُّونَ وَالْحِوِّيُّونَ وَالْيَبُوسِيُّونَ، فَأَسْلَمْتُهُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ.

And you passed over the Jordan and you came to Jericho and they fought against you [the] citizens of Jericho the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Girgashite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and I gave them in hand your.

١٢ 12 وَأَرْسَلْتُ أَمَامَكُمْ أَسْرَابَ الزَّنَابِيرِ وَطَرَدْتُ مَلِكَيِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ مِنْ وَجْهِكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ سُيُوفُكُمْ وَلا سِهَامُكُمْ هِيَ الَّتِي نَصَرَتْكُمْ.

And I sent before you the hornet and it drove out them from before you [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] not by sword your and not by bow your.

١٣ 13 وَوَهَبْتُكُمْ أَرْضاً لَمْ تَتْعَبُوا فِيهَا وَمُدُناً لَمْ تَبْنُوهَا فَأَقَمْتُمْ فِيهَا، وَكُرُوماً وَزَيْتُوناً لَمْ تَغْرِسُوهَا وَأَكَلْتُمْ مِنْهَا.

And I gave to you a land - which not you had labored for it and cities which not you had built and you dwelt in them vineyards and olive trees which not you had planted you [are] eating.

١٤ 14 والآنَ اتَّقُوا الرَّبَّ وَاعْبُدُوهُ بِكُلِّ أَمَانَةٍ، وَانْزِعُوا الأَوْثَانَ الَّتِي عَبَدَهَا آبَاؤُكُمْ فِي شَرْقِيِّ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ وَفِي مِصْرَ وَاعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ.

And therefore fear Yahweh and serve him in integrity and in faithfulness and remove [the] gods which they served ancestors your on [the] other side of the river and in Egypt and serve Yahweh.

١٥ 15 وَإِنْ سَاءَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ، فَاخْتَارُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمُ الْيَوْمَ مَنْ تَعْبُدُونَ سَوَاءَ مِنَ الآلِهَةِ الَّتِي عَبَدَهَا آبَاؤُكُمُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَوْطَنُوا شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ أَمْ آلِهَةِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَنْتُمْ مُقِيمُونَ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ. أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَيْتِي فَنَعْبُدُ الرَّبَّ».

And if is displeasing in view your to serve Yahweh choose for yourselves this day whom? will you serve! whether [the] gods which they served ancestors your who ([were] from [the] other side of *Q(K)*) the river and or [the] gods of the Amorite[s] whom you [are] dwelling in land their and I and household my we will serve Yahweh.

١٦ 16 فَأَجَابَ الشَّعْبُ: «حَاشَا لَنَا أَنْ نَنْبِذَ الرَّبَّ لِنَعْبُدَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى،

And it answered the people and it said far be it to us from forsaking Yahweh to serve gods other.

١٧ 17 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا هُوَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَنَا وَأَخْرَجَ آبَاءَنَا مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ مِنْ تَحْتِ نِيرِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَجْرَى عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنَّا تِلْكَ الآيَاتِ الْعَظِيمَةَ، وَرَعَانَا فِي كُلِّ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي سِرْنَا فِيهَا، وَفِي وَسَطِ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ الَّذِينَ مَرَرْنَا بِهِمْ،

For Yahweh God our he [is] the [one who] brought up us and fathers our from [the] land of Egypt from a house of slaves and [the one] who he did to eyes our the signs great these and he kept us in all the way which we went in it and among all the peoples which we passed in midst their.

١٨ 18 وَطَرَدَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ وَجْهِنَا جَمِيعَ الشُّعوُبِ، وَمِنْ جُمْلَتِهِمِ الأَمُورِيُّونَ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ. فَنَحْنُ أَيْضاً نَعْبُدُ الرَّبَّ لأَنَّهُ هُوَ إِلَهُنَا».

And he drove out Yahweh all the peoples and the Amorite[s] [who] dwelt of the land from before us also we we will serve Yahweh for he [is] God our.

١٩ 19 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ: «لَنْ تَقْدِرُوا أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ حَقَّ الْعِبَادَةِ لأَنَّهُ إِلَهٌ قُدُّوسٌ وَغَيُورٌ وَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْ وَذُنُوبَكُمْ.

And he said Joshua to the people not you will be able to serve Yahweh for [is] a God holy he [is] a God jealous he not he will forgive to transgression your and sins your.

٢٠ 20 وَإذَا نَبَذْتُمُ الرَّبَّ وَعَبَدْتُمُ الأَوْثَانَ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَيَفْجَعُكُمْ وَيُفْنِيكُمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْكُمْ».

If you will forsake Yahweh and you will serve gods of foreignness and he will turn and he will do harm to you and he will make an end of you after that he has done good to you.

٢١ 21 فَقَالَ الشَّعْبُ لِيَشُوعَ: «لا، بَلِ الرَّبَّ نَعْبُدُ».

And it said the people to Joshua In-deed Yahweh we will serve.

٢٢ 22 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ: «أَنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ، فَقَدِ اخْتَرْتُمُ الرَّبَّ لأَنْفُسِكُمْ لِتَعْبُدُوهُ». فَأَجَابُوا: «نَحْنُ شُهُودٌ».

And he said Joshua to the people [are] witnesses you on yourselves that you you have chosen for yourselves Yahweh to serve him and they said witnesses.

٢٣ 23 فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «إِذَنْ انْزِعُوا الآنَ الآلِهَةَ الْغَرِيبَةَ الَّتِي مَعَكُمْ وَأَخْضِعُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

And therefore remove [the] gods of foreignness which [are] in midst your and turn heart your to Yahweh [the] God of Israel.

٢٤ 24 فَأَجَابُوا: «الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا نَعْبُدُ، وَأَمْرَهُ نُطِيعُ».

And they said the people to Joshua Yahweh God our we will serve and to voice his we will listen.

٢٥ 25 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَطَعَ يَشُوعُ عَهْداً لِلشَّعْبِ وَسَنَّ لَهُمْ فِي شَكِيمَ شَرَائِعَ وَأَحْكَاماً.

And he made Joshua a covenant to the people on the day that and he established for it a decree and a judgment at Shechem.

٢٦ 26 وَدَوَّنَ يَشُوعُ هَذَا الْكَلامَ فِي كِتَابِ شَرِيعَةِ اللهِ، وَتَنَاوَلَ حَجَراً كَبِيراً وَنَصَبَهُ هُنَاكَ تَحْتَ الْبَلُّوطَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

And he wrote Joshua the words these in [the] book of [the] law of God and he took a stone large and he set up it there under the oak which [was] at [the] sanctuary of Yahweh.

٢٧ 27 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ جَمِيعِهِ: «إِنَّ هَذَا الْحَجَرَ شَاهِدٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لِئَلّا تَجْحَدُوا إِلَهَكُمْ».

And he said Joshua to all the people here! the stone this it will become on us a witness for it it has heard all [the] words of Yahweh which he has spoken with us and it will become on you a witness lest you should deny! God your.

٢٨ 28 ثُمَّ صَرَفَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهِ.

And he sent away Joshua the people everyone to own inheritance his.

٢٩ 29 وَمَا لَبِثَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ مَاتَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونٍ عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ، وَقَدْ بَلَغَ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ مِئَةً وَعَشْرَ سَنَوَاتٍ،

And it was after the things these and he died Joshua [the] son of Nun [the] servant of Yahweh a son of one hundred and ten years.

٣٠ 30 فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي أَرْضِ مِيرَاثِهِ فِي تِمْنَةَ سَارَحَ الَّتِي فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ شِمَالِيَّ جَبَلِ جَاعَشَ.

And people buried him in [the] territory of inheritance his at Timnath Serah which [is] in [the] hill country of Ephraim from [the] north of [the] mountain of Gaash.

٣١ 31 وَعَبَدَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ الرَّبَّ طَوَالَ حَيَاةِ يَشُوعَ، وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ أَيَّامِ الشُّيُوخِ الَّذِينَ عَمَّرُوا طَوِيلاً بَعْدَ يَشُوعَ، مِمَّنَ شَهِدُوا كُلَّ مُعَامَلاتِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And it served Israel Yahweh all [the] days of Joshua and all - [the] days of the old [men] who they made long days after Joshua and who they knew all [the] work of Yahweh which he had done for Israel.

٣٢ 32 وَدَفَنَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عِظَامَ يُوسُفَ الَّتِي نَقَلُوهَا مَعَهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ فِي شَكِيمَ، فِي قِطْعَةِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي اشْتَرَاهَا يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ بَنِي حَمُورَ أَبِي شَكِيمَ بِمِئَةِ قِطْعَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، الَّتِي أَصْبَحَتْ جُزْءاً مِنْ مِيرَاثِ ذُرِّيَّةِ يُوسُفَ.

And [the] bones of Joseph which they had brought up [the] people of Israel - from Egypt they buried at Shechem in [the] portion of the field which he had bought Jacob from with [the] sons of Hamor [the] father of Shechem for a hundred piece[s] of money and they became of [the] descendants of Joseph an inheritance.

٣٣ 33 وَمَاتَ أَيْضاً أَلِعَازَارُ بْنُ هرُونَ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي جِبْعَةَ فِينْحَاسَ ابْنِهِ الَّتِي أُعْطِيَتْ لَهُ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ.

And Eleazar [the] son of Aaron he died and people buried him at Gibeah of Phinehas son his which it had been given to him in [the] hill country of Ephraim.
