| بَعْدَ مَوْتِ يَشُوعَ سَأَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الرَّبَّ: «مَنْ مِنَّا يَذْهَبُ أَوَّلاً لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ؟» | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Chananites, to fight against them?
| فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ: «يَهُوذَا يَذْهَبُ، فَقَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ الْأَرْضَ إِلَى يَدِهِ». | ٢ 2 |
And the Lord said, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
| فَقَالَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا لإِخْوَتِهِمْ رِجَالِ شِمْعُونَ: «اخْرُجُوا مَعَنَا إِلَى الْمِنْطَقَةِ الَّتِي صَارَتْ قُرْعَةً لَنَا لِنُحَارِبَ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ مَعاً، ثُمَّ نَخْرُجُ نَحْنُ مَعَكُمْ فِي حَرْبِكُمْ لِتَسْتَوْلُوا عَلَى قُرْعَتِكُمْ». فَذَهَبَ رِجَالُ شِمْعُونَ مَعَهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
And Judas said to his brother Symeon, Come up with me into my lot, and let us array ourselves against the Chananites, and I also will go with thee into thy lot: and Symeon went with him.
| فَانْطَلَقَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ، فَأَظْفَرَهُمُ الرَّبُّ بِالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْفِرِزِّيِّينَ، فَقَتَلُوا مِنْهُمْ فِي بَازَقَ عَشْرَةَ آلافِ رَجُلٍ. | ٤ 4 |
And Judas went up; and the Lord delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands, and they smote them in Bezek to [the number of] ten thousand men.
| وَالْتَقَوْا بِمَلِكِهِمْ أَدُونِي بَازَقَ عِنْدَ بَازَقَ، فَحَارَبُوهُ وَقَهَرُوا الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْفِرِزِّيِّينَ. | ٥ 5 |
And they overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they smote the Chananite and the Pherezite.
| فَهَرَبَ أَدُونِي بَازَقَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ تَعَقَّبُوهُ وَقَبَضُوا عَلَيْهِ وَقَطَعُوا أَبَاهِمَ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ. | ٦ 6 |
And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
| فَقَالَ أَدُونِي بَازَقَ: «لَقَدْ قَطَعْتُ أَبَاهِمَ أَيْدِي وَأَرْجُلِ سَبْعِينَ مَلِكاً كَانُوا يَلْتَقِطُونَ الْفُتَاتَ تَحْتَ مَائِدَتِي، فَهَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ جَازَانِي بِمِثْلِ مَا فَعَلْتُ». وَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ حَيْثُ مَاتَ. | ٧ 7 |
And Adonibezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I therefore have done, so God has recompensed me: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
| وَكَانَ أَبْنَاءُ يَهُوذَا قَدْ هَاجَمُوا أُورُشَلِيمَ وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا، وَقَتَلُوا أَهْلَهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا بِالنَّارِ. | ٨ 8 |
And the children of Judas fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with fire.
| ثُمَّ انْحَدَرُوا لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ فِي الْمَنَاطِقِ الْجَبَلِيَّةِ وَالنَّقَبِ وَالسُّهُولِ الْغَرْبِيَّةِ. | ٩ 9 |
And afterwards the children of Judas went down to fight with the Chananite dwelling in the hill country, and the south, and the plain country.
| فَهَاجَمُوا الْكَنَعَانِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي حَبْرُونَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُدْعَى قَبْلاً قَرْيَةَ أَرْبَعَ، وَقَضَوْا عَلَى شِيشَايَ وَأَخِيمَانَ وَتَلْمَايَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And Judas went to the Chananite who dwelt in Chebron; and Chebron came out against him; [and the name of Chebron before was Cariatharbocsepher: ] and they smote Sessi, and Achiman, and Tholmi, children of Enac.
| وَتَوَجَّهُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَانْقَضُّوا عَلَى أَهْلِ دَبِيرَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُدْعَى قَبْلاً قَرْيَةَ سَفَرٍ. | ١١ 11 |
And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.
| فَقَالَ كَالَبُ: «الَّذِي يَقْهَرُ قَرْيَةَ سَفَرٍ وَيَسْتَوْلِي عَلَيْهَا، أُزَوِّجُهُ ابْنَتِي عَكْسَةَ». | ١٢ 12 |
And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall smite the city of Letters, and shall first take it, I will give to him Ascha my daughter to wife.
| فَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا عُثْنِيئِيلُ بْنُ قَنَازَ، أَخُو كَالَبَ الأَصْغَرُ مِنْهُ، فَزَوَّجَهُ ابْنَتَهُ عَكْسَةَ. | ١٣ 13 |
And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.
| وَعِنْدَمَا زُفَّتْ إِلَيْهِ حَثَّهَا عَلَى طَلَبِ حَقْلٍ مِنْ أَبِيهَا، فَتَرَجَّلَتْ عَنِ الْحِمَارِ، فَسَأَلَهَا كَالَبُ: «مَالَكِ؟» | ١٤ 14 |
And it came to pass as she went in, that Gothoniel urged her to ask a field of her father; and she murmured and cried from off her ass, Thou hast sent me forth into a south land: and Chaleb said to her, What is thy request?
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «أَنْعِمْ عَلَيَّ بِهِبَةٍ، فَأَنْتَ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتَنِي أَرْضاً فِي النَّقَبِ، فَأَعْطِنِي أَيْضاً يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ». فَوَهَبَهَا كَالَبُ الْيَنَابِيعَ الْعُلْيَا وَالْيَنَابِيعَ السُّفْلَى. | ١٥ 15 |
And Ascha said to him, Give me, I pray thee, a blessing, for thou hast sent me forth into a south land, and thou shalt give me the ransom of water: and Chaleb gave her according to her heart the ransom of the upper [springs] and the ransom of the low [springs].
| وَغَادَرَ أَبْنَاءُ الْقَيْنِيِّ حَمِي مُوسَى مَدِينَةَ النَّخْلِ (أَرِيحَا) وَذَهَبُوا مَعَ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ يَهُوذَا الْوَاقِعَةِ فِي جَنُوبِيِّ عَرَادَ، وَسَكَنُوا مَعَ الشَّعْبِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the children of Jothor the Kenite the father-in-law of Moses went up from the city of palm-trees with the children of Judas, to the wilderness that is in the south of Juda, which is at the descent of Arad, and they dwelt with the people.
| وَانْضَمَّ جَيْشُ يَهُوذَا إِلَى جَيْشِ شِمْعُونَ، وَحَارَبُوا الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ أَهْلَ صَفَاةَ وَدَمَّرُوهَا وَدَعَوْا اسْمَ الْمَدِينَةِ حُرْمَةَ (بِمَعْنَى خَرَابٍ). | ١٧ 17 |
And Judas went with Symeon his brother, and smote the Chananite that inhabited Sepheth, and they utterly destroyed them; and they called the name of the city Anathema.
| وَاسْتَوْلَى رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا عَلَى غَزَّةَ وَتُخُومِهَا وَأَشْقَلُونَ وَتُخْومِهَا وَعَقْرُونَ وَتُخُومِهَا. | ١٨ 18 |
But Judas did not inherit Gaza nor her coasts, nor Ascalon nor her coasts, nor Accaron nor her coasts, [nor] Azotus nor the lands around it.
| وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ أَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا فَتَمَلَّكُوا الْجَبَلَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَخْفَقُوا فِي طَرْدِ سُكَّانِ الْوَادِي لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَمْلِكُونَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ حَدِيدِيَّةً. | ١٩ 19 |
And the Lord was with Judas, and he inherited the mountain; for they were not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, for Rechab prevented them.
| وَأَعْطَوْا حَبْرُونَ لِكَالَبَ كَمَا أَوْصَى مُوسَى، فَطَرَدَ مِنْهَا بَنِي عَنَاقَ الثَّلاثَةَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And they gave Chebron to Chaleb, as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children of Enac.
| وَأَخْفَقَ أَبْنَاءُ بِنْيَامِينَ فِي طَرْدِ الْيَبُوسِيِّينَ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَظَلَّ الْيَبُوسِيُّونَ يُقِيمُونَ بَيْنَ ذُرِّيَّةِ بِنْيَامِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٢١ 21 |
But the children of Benjamin did not take the inheritance of the Jebusite who dwelt in Jerusalem; and the Jebusite dwelt with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day.
| وَهَاجَمَ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ بَيْتَ إِيلَ، فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَهُمْ (وَنَصَرَهُمْ). | ٢٢ 22 |
And the sons of Joseph, they also went up to Baethel; and the Lord was with them.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ فَرِيقُ الاسْتِكْشَافِ يُرَاقِبُ بَيْتَ إِيلَ، الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُدْعَى قَبْلاً لُوزَ، | ٢٣ 23 |
And they encamped and surveyed Baethel: and the name of the city before was Luza.
| شَاهَدُوا رَجُلاً خَارِجاً مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَرْشِدْنَا إِلَى مَدْخَلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَنَصْنَعَ مَعَكَ مَعْرُوفاً». | ٢٤ 24 |
And the spies looked, and behold, a man went out of the city, and they took him; and they said to him, Shew us the way into the city, and we will deal mercifully with thee.
| فَأَرْشَدَهُمْ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَاقْتَحَمُوهَا وَقَضَوْا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ وَسَائِرُ عَشِيرَتِهِ فَأَطْلَقُوهُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And he shewed them the way into the city; and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and his family.
| فَمَضَى الرَّجُلُ إِلَى دِيَارِ الْحِثِّيِّينَ وَبَنَى مَدِينَةً دَعَاهَا لُوزَ، وَهَذَا هُوَ اسْمُهَا حَتَّى الْآنَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And the man went into the land of Chettin, and built there a city, and called the name of it Luza; this [is] its name until this day.
| وَأَخْفَقَ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى فِي طَرْدِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ شَانَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَأَهْلِ تَعْنَكَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانِ دُورٍ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانِ يِبْلَعَامَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانِ مَجِدُّو وَقُرَاهَا. فَاسْتَمَرَّ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا. | ٢٧ 27 |

| وَلَمَّا قَوِيَتْ شَوْكَةُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ وَضَعُوا الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ تَحْتَ الْجِزْيَةِ، وَلَمْ يَطْرُدُوهُمْ قَطُّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that he made the Chananite tributary, but did not utterly drive them out.
| وَكَذَلِكَ فَشَلَ سِبْطُ أَفْرَايِمَ فِي طَرْدِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي جَازَرَ، فَسَكَنَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ مَعَهُمْ. | ٢٩ 29 |
