< يَشُوع 8 >
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «لا تَجْزَعْ وَلا تَثْبُطْ هِمَّتُكَ. خُذْ جَيْشَكَ بِرُمَّتِهِ وَحَاصِرْ عَايَ لأَنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُكَ مَلِكَ عَايَ وَشَعْبَهُ وَمَدِينَتَهُ وَأَرْضَهُ. | ١ 1 |
And the Lord said to Joshua, Fear not, nor be timorous: take with thee all the men of war, and arise, go up to Gai; behold, I have given into thy hands the king of Gai, and his land.
| فَتُجْرِي عَلَى عَايَ وَمَلِكِهَا مَا أَجْرَيْتَهُ عَلَى أَرِيحَا وَمَلِكِهَا، غَيْرَ أَنَّكُمْ تَنْهَبُونَ لأَنْفُسِكُمْ غَنِيمَتَهَا وَبَهَائِمَهَا. انْصُبْ كَمِيناً خَلْفَ الْمَدِينَةِ». | ٢ 2 |
And thou shalt do to Gai, as thou didst to Jericho and its king; and thou shalt take to thyself the spoil of its cattle; set now for thyself an ambush for the city behind.
| فَهَبَّ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ الْمُحَارِبِينَ وَتَوَجَّهُوا لِمُهَاجَمَةِ عَايَ. وَاخْتَارَ يَشُوعُ ثَلاثِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ مُحَارِبِيهِ الأَشِدَّاءِ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ لَيْلاً، بَعْدَ أَنْ أَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: | ٣ 3 |
And Joshua and all the men of war rose to go up to Gai; and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men, and he sent them away by night.
| «اذْهَبُوا وَاكْمُنُوا خَلْفَ الْمَدِينَةِ. لَا تَبْتَعِدُوا عَنْهَا كَثِيراً وَتَأَهَّبُوا جَمِيعُكُمْ لِلْقِتَالِ. | ٤ 4 |
And he charged them, saying, Do ye lie in ambush behind the city: do not go far from the city, and ye shall all be ready.
| أَمَّا أَنَا وَبَقِيَّةُ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الَّذِينَ مَعِي فَنَقْتَرِبُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ. فَمَا إِنْ يَخْرُجُوا لِلِقَائِنَا، كَمَا حَدَثَ سَابِقاً، حَتَّى نَتَظَاهَرَ بِالْهَرَبِ أَمَامَهُمْ، | ٥ 5 |
Land I and all with me will draw near to the city: and it shall come to pass when the inhabitants of Gai shall come forth to meet us, as before, that we will flee from before them.
| فَيَتَعَقَّبُونَا، وَبِذَلِكَ نَجْذِبُهُمْ بَعِيداً عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ، ظَنّاً مِنْهُمْ أَنَّنَا هَارِبُونَ أَمَامَهُمْ كَمَا جَرَى فِي الْمَرَّةِ الْمَاضِيَةِ، | ٦ 6 |
And when they shall come out after us, we will draw them away from the city; and they will say, These men flee from before us, as also before.
| فَتَنْقَضُّونَ أَنْتُمْ مِنَ الْمَكْمَنِ وَتَسْتَوْلُونَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي يُخْضِعُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
And ye shall rise up out of the ambuscade, and go into the city.
| وَلَدَى اسْتِيلائِكُمْ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ تُضْرِمُونَ فِيهَا النَّارَ كَأَمْرِ الرَّبِّ، فَافْعَلُوا وَنَفِّذُوا مَا أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهِ». | ٨ 8 |
Ye shall do according to this word, lo! I have commanded you.
| وَأَطْلَقَهُمْ يَشُوعُ فَتَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى الْمَكْمَنِ، حَيْثُ تَرَبَّصُوا بِالْمَدِينَةِ مَا بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَغَرْبِيِّ عَايَ. وَقَضَى يَشُوعُ لَيْلَتَهُ تِلْكَ فِي وَسَطِ الشَّعْبِ. | ٩ 9 |
And Joshua sent them, and they went to lie in ambush; and they lay between Baethel and Gai, westward of Gai.
| وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ التَّالِي نَهَضَ يَشُوعُ مُبَكِّراً، وَأَحْصَى الْجَيْشَ وَسَارَ هُوَ وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي طَلِيعَتِهِمْ نَحْوَ عَايَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people; and he went up, he and the elders before the people to Gai.
| وَتَقَدَّمَتْ مَعَهُ قُوَّاتُهُ كُلُّهَا حَتَّى أَتَوْا إِلَى مُقَابِلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، حَيْثُ نَزَلُوا شِمَالِيَّهَا، لَا يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ عَايَ سِوَى الْوَادِي. | ١١ 11 |
And all the men of war went up with him, and they went forward and came over against the city eastward.
| وَأَرْسَلَ يَشُوعُ قُوَّةَ دَعْمٍ أُخْرَى مُؤَلَّفَةً مِنْ خَمْسَةِ آلافِ مُحَارِبٍ لِتَكْمُنَ بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَعَايَ غَرْبِيَّ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And the ambuscade [was] on the west side of the city.
| وَتَمَرْكَزَ الْجَيْشُ الرَّئِيسِيُّ فِي شِمَالِيِّ الْمَدِينَةِ، فِي حِينِ تَرَبَّصَ الْكَمِينُ فِي غَرْبِيِّهَا، أَمَّا يَشُوعُ فَقَدْ قَضَى تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي وَسَطِ الْوَادِي. | ١٣ 13 |
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى مَلِكُ عَايَ مَا يَجْرِي، خَرَجَ بِجَيْشِهِ مُبَكِّراً لِلِقَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمُحَارَبَتِهِ فِي السَّهْلِ، وَهُوَ لَا يَدْرِي أَنَّ هُنَاكَ كَمِيناً يَتَحَفَّزُ لِلْهُجُومِ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ خَلْفِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And it came to pass when the king of Gai saw [it], he hasted and went out to meet them direct to the battle, he and all the people [that were] with him: and he knew not that there was an ambuscade [formed] against him behind the city.
| فَتَظَاهَرَ يَشُوعُ وَبَقِيَّةُ الْجَيْشِ بِالانْكِسَارِ أَمَامَهُمْ، وَلاذُوا بِالْفِرَارِ فِي طَرِيقِ الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Joshua and Israel saw, and retreated from before them.
| فَتَنَادَى جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِينَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لِتَعَقُّبِ يَشُوعَ، فَجَدُّوا وَرَاءَهُمْ مُبْتَعِدِينَ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And they pursued after the children of Israel, and they themselves went to a distance from the city.
| وَلَمْ يَبْقَ فِي عَايَ أَوْ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَسْعَ فِي مُطَارَدَةِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، تَارِكِينَ الْمَدِينَةَ مَفْتُوحَةً لِلْكَمِينِ. | ١٧ 17 |
There was no one left in Gai who did not pursue after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «مُدَّ رُمْحَكَ نَحْوَ عَايَ لأَنَّنِي وَهَبْتُكَ الْمَدِينَةَ». فَمَدَّ يَشُوعُ الْحَرْبَةَ الَّتِي بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ، | ١٨ 18 |
And the Lord said to Joshua, Stretch forth thy hand with the spear that is in thy hand toward the city, for I have delivered it into thy hands; and the liers in wait shall rise up quickly out of their place.
| فَانْدَفَعَ الْكَمِينُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ بِسُرْعَةٍ عِنْدَمَا مَدَّ يَدَهُ بِالْحَرْبَةِ وَرَكَضُوا وَاقْتَحَمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا وَأَحْرَقُوهَا بِالنَّارِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And Joshua stretched out his hand [and] his spear toward the city, and the ambuscade rose up quickly out of their place; and they came forth when he stretched out his hand; and they entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and burnt the city with fire.
| فَالْتَفَتَ رِجَالُ عَايَ وَرَاءَهُمْ وَإِذْ بِهِمْ يُشَاهِدُونَ دُخَانَ الْمَدِينَةِ يَتَصَاعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ مِنْ مَهْرَبٍ، فَانْقَلَبَ الْجَيْشُ الْهَارِبُ إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ عَلَى مُطَارِدِيهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And when the inhabitants of Gai looked round behind them, then they saw the smoke going up out of the city to heaven, and they were no longer able to flee this way or that way.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى يَشُوعُ وَمُحَارِبُوهُ أَنَّ الْكَمِينَ قَدِ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَنَّ دُخَانَهَا قَدْ مَلأَ الْفَضَاءَ، شَرَعُوا فِي مُهَاجَمَةِ رِجَالِ عَايَ وَالْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
And Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambuscade had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up to heaven; and they turned and smote the men of Gai.
| كَذَلِكَ خَرَجَ الْكَمِينُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ لِقَطْعِ طَرِيقِ الْهَرَبِ عَلَيْهِمْ. فَوَجَدَ أَهْلُ عَايَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ مَحْصُورِينَ بَيْنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ مِنَ الأَمَامِ وَمِنَ الْخَلْفِ، فَفَتَكَ بِهِمِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ، فَلَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And these came forth out of the city to meet them; and they were in the midst of the army, some [being] on this side, and some on that; and they smote them until there was not left of them one who survived and escaped.
| أَمَّا مَلِكُ عَايَ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ فِي الأَسْرِ فَتَسَلَّمَهُ يَشُوعُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And they took the king of Gai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
| وَعِنْدَمَا تَمَّ الْقَضَاءُ عَلَى جَيْشِ عَايَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ حَيْثُ تَعَقَّبُوا الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، وَفَنُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، رَجَعَ الْمُحَارِبُونَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ إِلَى عَايَ وَقَتَلُوا كُلَّ مَنْ فِيهَا. | ٢٤ 24 |
And when the children of Israel had ceased slaying all that were in Gai, and in the fields, and in the mountain on the descent, from whence they pursued them [even] to the end, then Joshua returned to Gai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
| فَكَانَ جَمِيعُ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مِنْ رِجَالٍ وَنِسَاءٍ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفاً، وَهُمْ جَمِيعُ أَهْلِ عَايَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And they that fell in that day, men and women, were twelve thousand: [they slew] all the inhabitants of Gai.
| وَظَلَّ يَشُوعُ مَادّاً يَدَهُ بِالْحَرْبَةِ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى تَمَّ الْقَضَاءُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ عَايَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
| أَمَّا الْبَهَائِمُ وَغَنَائِمُ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَدْ نَهَبَهَا الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ، بِمُقْتَضَى أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي أَصْدَرَهُ إِلَى يَشُوعَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Beside the spoils that were in the city, all things which the children of Israel took as spoil for themselves according to the command of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Joshua.
| وَهَكَذَا أَحْرَقَ يَشُوعُ عَايَ وَحَوَّلَهَا إِلَى تَلِّ خَرَابٍ أَبَدِيٍّ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And Joshua burnt the city with fire: he made it an uninhabited heap for ever, [even] to this day.
| وَشَنَقَ مَلِكَ عَايَ عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ إِلَى وَقْتِ الْمَسَاءِ، وَعِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ أَمَرَ يَشُوعُ فَأَنْزَلُوا جُثَّتَهُ عَنِ الشَّجَرَةِ وَطَرَحُوهَا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ وهَالُوا عَلَيْهَا كَوْمَةَ حِجَارَةٍ عَظِيمَةً إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And he hanged the king of Gai on a gallows; and he remained on the tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave charge, and they took down his body from the tree, and cast it into a pit, and they set over him a heap of stones until this day.
| حِينَئِذٍ بَنَى يَشُوعُ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَبَلِ عِيبَالَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel in mount Gaebal,
| كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، بِحَسَبِ مَا هُوَ مُدَوَّنٌ فِي كِتَابِ تَوْرَاةِ مُوسَى، فَكَانَ الْمَذْبَحُ مَبْنِيًّا مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ صَحِيحَةٍ لَمْ يَنْحَتْهَا أَحَدٌ بِآلَةٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَقَدَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ، وَذَبَائِحَ سَلامٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, on which iron had not been lifted up; and he offered there whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord, and a peace-offering.
| وَعَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيَل نَقَشَ يَشُوعُ عَلَى حِجَارَةِ الْمَذْبَحِ نُسْخَةً مِنْ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى الَّتِي كَانَ مُوسَى قَدْ أَمْلاهَا عَلَيْهِ | ٣٢ 32 |
And Joshua wrote upon the stones a copy of the law, even the law of Moses, before the children of Israel.
| وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، غُرَبَاءَ وَمُوَاطِنِينَ، مَعَ شُيُوخِهِمْ وَعُرَفَائِهِمْ وَقُضَاتِهِمْ يَقِفُونَ إِلَى جَانِبَيْ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ الْكَهَنَةِ اللّاوِيِّينَ حَامِلِي التَّابُوتِ. وَقَفَ نِصْفُهُمْ أَمَامَ جَبَلِ جِرِزِّيمَ، وَوَقَفَ النِّصْفُ الآخَرُ أَمَامَ جَبَلِ عِيبَالَ تَنْفِيذاً لِتَعْلِيمَاتِ مُوسَى عَبْدِ الرَّبِّ السَّابِقَةِ الَّتِي أَصْدَرَهَا بِشَأْنِ بَرَكَةِ الشَّعْبِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And all Israel, and their elders, and their judges, and their scribes, passed on one side and on the other before the ark; and the priests and the Levites took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the stranger and the native were there, who were half of them near mount Garizin, and half near mount Gaebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded at first, to bless the people.
| ثُمَّ تَلا يَشُوعُ جَمِيعَ عِبَارَاتِ التَّوْرَاةِ الْمُخْتَصَّةِ بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَاللَّعْنَةِ، كَمَا وَرَدَتْ فِي كِتَابِ الشَّرِيعَةِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And afterwards Joshua read accordingly all the words of this law, the blessings and the curses, according to all things written in the law of Moses.
| لَمْ يَغْفَلْ يَشُوعُ كَلِمَةً مِنْ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ مُوسَى، بَلْ قَرَأَهَا كُلَّهَا أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَتَّى أَمَامَ النِّسَاءِ وَالأَطْفَالِ وَالْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ بَيْنَهُمْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
There was not a word of all that Moses charged Joshua, which Joshua read not in the ears of all the assembly of the children of Israel, the men, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that joined themselves to Israel.
