< يَشُوع 6 >

وَكَانَتْ أَرِيحَا قَدْ أَحْكَمَتْ إِغْلاقَ بَوَّابَاتِهَا خَوْفاً مِنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا أَوْ يَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهَا أَحَدٌ. ١ 1
Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَخْضَعْتُ لَكَ أَرِيحَا وَمَلِكَهَا وَمُحَارِبِيهَا الأَشِدَّاءَ. ٢ 2
And the LORD said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and its king, and the mighty men of valour.
فَلْيَدُرْ مُحَارِبُوكُمْ دَوْرَةً وَاحِدَةً كُلَّ يَوْمٍ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ، مُدَّةَ سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ. ٣ 3
And ye shall march around the city, all ye men of war, and go round the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
وَلْيَحْمِلْ سَبْعَةُ كَهَنَةٍ أَبْوَاقَ الْهُتَافِ وَيَتَقَدَّمُوا أَمَامَ التَّابُوتِ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ تَدُورُونَ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ بَيْنَمَا يَنْفُخُ الْكَهَنَةُ بِالأَبْوَاقِ. ٤ 4
And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
وَمَا إِنْ يَسْمَعْ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ صَوْتَ نَفْخِ بُوقٍ مُمْتَدّاً حَتَّى يُطْلِقُوا دَوِيَّ هُتَافٍ عَظِيمٍ، فَيَنْهَارُ سُورُ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ، فَيَنْدَفِعُ الشَّعْبُ نَحْوَهَا، كُلُّ رَجُلٍ حَسَبَ وِجْهَتِهِ». ٥ 5
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.
فَاسْتَدْعَى يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونٍ الْكَهَنَةَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «احْمِلُوا تَابُوتَ الْعَهْدِ، وَلْيَتَقَدَّمْهُ سَبْعَةُ كَهَنَةٍ حَامِلِينَ سَبْعَةَ أَبْوَاقِ هُتَافٍ». ٦ 6
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD.
وَأَمَرَ الشَّعْبَ: «هَيَّا دُورُوا حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ دَوْرَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَدَعُوا الْجُنُودَ الْمُسَلَّحِينَ يَمْشُونَ فِي الطَّلِيعَةِ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ». ٧ 7
And he said to the people, Pass on, and march around the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
فَسَارَ الشَّعْبُ بِمُقْتَضَى مَا أَمَرَ يَشُوعُ، إِذْ تَقَدَّمَ السَّبْعَةُ الْكَهَنَةُ حَامِلِينَ أَبْوَاقَ الْهُتَافِ السَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَنَفَخُوا بِالأَبْوَاقِ، بَيْنَمَا كَانَ تَابُوتُ الرَّبِّ يَسِيرُ خَلْفَهُمْ. ٨ 8
And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
وَانْطَلَقَ الْمُحَارِبُونَ أَمَامَ الْكَهَنَةِ النَّافِخِينَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ. أَمَّا مُؤَخَّرَةُ الْجَيْشِ فَقَدْ سَارَتْ وَرَاءَ التَّابُوتِ، فَكَانُوا يَمْشُونَ وَالْكَهَنَةُ يَنْفُخُونَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ. ٩ 9
And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
وَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ الشَّعْبَ: «لا تَهْتِفُوا وَلا تَتَكَلَّمُوا، وَلا يَصْدُرْ عَنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمْ صَوْتٌ حَتَّى آمُرَكُمْ بِالْهُتَافِ، وَعِنْدَئِذٍ تَهْتِفُونَ». ١٠ 10
And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed from your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
فَدَارَ تَابُوتُ الرَّبِّ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ وَبَاتُوا فِيهِ. ١١ 11
So the ark of the LORD went around the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، وَحَمَلَ الْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ. ١٢ 12
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
وَانْطَلَقَ الْمُحَارِبُونَ فِي الطَّلِيعَةِ يَتْبَعُهُمُ الْكَهَنَةُ النَّافِخُونَ فِي أَبْوَاقِ الْهُتَافِ، سَائِرِينَ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ، وَفِي أَعْقَابِهِ تَقَدَّمَتْ مُؤَخَّرَةُ الْجَيْشِ. وَكَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ وَيَنْفُخُونَ فِي الأَبْوَاقِ. ١٣ 13
And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
وَدَارُوا حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي دَوْرَةً وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ. وَظَلُّوا يَفْعَلُونَ هَكَذَا سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ. ١٤ 14
And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ بَكَّرُوا عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ وَدَارُوا حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى هَذَا النَّمَطِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَهُوَ الْيَوْمُ الْوَحِيدُ الَّذِي دَارُوا فِيهِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ. ١٥ 15
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they marched around the city seven times.
وَعِنْدَمَا نَفَخَ الْكَهَنَةُ فِي الأَبْوَاقِ فِي المَرَّةِ السَّابِعَةِ قَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلشَّعْبِ: «اهْتِفُوا، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ وَهَبَكُمُ الْمَدِينَةَ. ١٦ 16
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
وَاجْعَلُوا الْمَدِينَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا مُحَرَّماً لِلرَّبِّ، بِاسْتِثْنَاءِ رَاحَابَ الزَّانِيَةِ وَكُلِّ مَنْ لاذَ بِبَيْتِهَا فَاسْتَحْيُوهُمْ، لأَنَّهَا خَبَّأَتِ الْجَاسُوسَيْنِ الْمُرْسَلَيْنِ لاِسْتِطْلاعِ أَحْوَالِ الْمَدِينَةِ. ١٧ 17
And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are in it, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَإِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَأْخُذُوا مَا هُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ لِئَلّا تَهْلِكُوا وَتَجْعَلُوا مُخَيَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُحَرَّماً وَتُسَبِّبُوا لَهُ الْكَوَارِثَ. ١٨ 18
And ye, in every way keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
أَمَّا كُلُّ غَنَائِمِ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَآنِيَةِ النُّحَاسِ وَالْحَدِيدِ، فَتُخَصَّصُ لِلرَّبِّ وَتُحْفَظُ فِى خِزَانَتِهِ». ١٩ 19
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated to the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
فَهَتَفَ الشَّعْبُ، وَنَفَخَ الْكَهَنَةُ فِي الأَبْوَاقِ. وَكَانَ هُتَافُ الشَّعْبِ لَدَى سَمَاعِهِمْ صَوْتَ نَفْخِ الأَبْوَاقِ عَظِيماً، فَانْهَارَ السُّورُ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ. فَانْدَفَعَ الشَّعْبُ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ كُلٌّ إِلَى وِجْهَتِهِ، وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا. ٢٠ 20
So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
وَدَمَّرُوا الْمَدِينَةَ وَقَضَوْا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ فِيهَا مِنْ رِجَالٍ وَنِسَاءٍ وَأَطْفَالٍ وَشُيُوخٍ حَتَّى الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَالْحَمِيرِ. ٢١ 21
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلرَّجُلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ ذَهَبَا لِاسْتِكْشَافِ الْمَدِينَةِ: «ادْخُلا بَيْتَ الْمَرْأَةِ الزَّانِيَةِ وَأَخْرِجَاهَا مَعَ كُلِّ مَا لَهَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ كَمَا حَلَفْتُمَا لَهَا». ٢٢ 22
But Joshua had said to the two men that spied out the country, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out from there the woman, and all that she hath, as ye swore to her.
فَمَضَى الْجَاسُوسَانِ إِلَى بَيْتِ رَاحَابَ، فَأَخْرَجَاهَا هِيَ وَأَبَاهَا وَأُمَّهَا وَإِخْوَتَهَا وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا، وَأَقْرِبَاءَهَا، وَذَهَبَا بِهِمْ إِلَى مَكَانٍ آمِنٍ خَارِجَ مُخَيَّمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٣ 23
And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them outside the camp of Israel.
ثُمَّ أَحْرَقَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ الْمَدِينَةَ بِالنَّارِ بِكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا. أَمَّا الْفِضَّةُ وَالذَّهَبُ وَآنِيَةُ النُّحَاسِ وَالْحَدِيدِ فَقَدْ حَفِظُوهَا فِي خِزَانَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. ٢٤ 24
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
وَاسْتَحْيَا يَشُوعُ رَاحَابَ الزَّانِيَةَ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيهَا وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا، فَأَقَامَتْ فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ (وَكَذَلِكَ ذُرِّيَّتُهَا) إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، لأَنَّهَا خَبَّأَتْ الْجَاسُوسَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ أَرْسَلَهُمَا يَشُوعُ لِكَيْ يَسْتَطْلِعَا أَحْوَالَ أَرِيحَا. ٢٥ 25
And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even to this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَنْذَرَ يَشُوعُ الشَّعْبَ قَائِلاً: «مَلْعُونٌ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ كُلُّ مَنْ يُحَاوِلُ أَنْ يُعِيدَ بِنَاءَ مَدِينَةِ أَرِيحَا، فَإِنَّ بِكْرَهُ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ يَضَعُ أَسَاسَاتِهَا، وَصَغِيرَهُ يَهْلِكُ وَهُوَ يُقِيمُ بَوَّابَاتِهَا». ٢٦ 26
And Joshua charged them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay its foundation in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ يَشُوعَ فَشَاعَ صِيتُهُ فِي كُلِّ الأَرْضِ. ٢٧ 27
So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
