Joshua 10
1 Now when Adoni-zedek King of Ierusalem had heard how Ioshua had taken Ai and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Iericho and to the King thereof, so he had done to Ai and to the King thereof) and howe the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them,
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ أَدُونِي صَادَقَ مَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَى عَايَ وَدَمَّرَهَا وَقَتَلَ مَلِكَهَا كَمَا صَنَعَ بِأَرِيحَا وَمَلِكِهَا، وَأَنَّ أَهْلَ جِبْعُونَ قَدْ صَالَحُوا الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ وَأَقَامُوا فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، | ١ |
2 Then they feared exceedingly: for Gibeon was a great citie, as one of the royall cities: for it was greater then Ai, and all the men thereof were mightie.
| اعْتَرَاهُ خَوْفٌ شَدِيدٌ، لأَنَّ جِبْعُونَ كَانَتْ مِدِينَةً عَظِيمَةً كَإِحْدَى الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي يُقِيمُ فِيهَا الْمُلُوكُ وَهِيَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ عَايَ، وَكُلُّ رِجَالِهَا مُحَارِبُونَ جَبَابِرَةٌ. | ٢ |
3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek King of Ierusalem sent vnto Hoham King of Hebron, and vnto Piram King of Iarmuth, and vnto Iapia King of Lachish, and vnto Debir King of Eglon, saying,
| فَبَعَثَ أَدُونِي صَادَقَ مَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى هُوهَامَ مَلِكِ حَبْرُونَ وَفِرْآمَ مَلِكِ يَرْمُوتَ وَيَافِيعَ مَلِكِ لَخِيشَ وَدَبِيرَ مَلِكِ عَجْلُونَ قَائِلاً: | ٣ |
4 Come vp vnto me, and helpe me, that we may smite Gibeon: for they haue made peace with Ioshua and with the children of Israel.
| «أَقْبِلُوا إِلَيَّ وَأَعِينُونِي عَلَى تَدْمِيرِ جِبْعُونَ، لأَنَّهَا عَقَدَتْ صُلْحاً مَعَ يَشُوعَ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٤ |
5 Therefore the fiue Kings of the Amorites, the King of Ierusalem, the King of Hebron, the King of Iarmuth, the King of Lachish, and the King of Eglon gathered themselues together, and went vp, they with all their hostes, and besieged Gibeon, and made warre against it.
| فَوَحَّدَ مُلُوكُ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الْخَمْسَةُ جُيُوشَهُمْ لِلْقِيَامِ بِهُجُومٍ عَلَى جِبْعُونَ. | ٥ |
6 And the men of Gibeon sent vnto Ioshua, euen to the hoste to Gilgal, saying, Withdrawe not thine hand from thy seruants: come vp to vs quickly, and saue vs, and helpe vs: for all the Kings of the Amorites which dwell in the mountaines, are gathered together against vs.
| فَأَرْسَلَ أَهْلُ جِبْعُونَ إِلَى يَشُوعَ إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ قَائِلِينَ: «لا تَتَقَاعَسْ عَنْ إِعَانَةِ عَبِيدِكَ، بَلْ أَسْرِعْ إِلَيْنَا وَأَنْقِذْنَا وَأَعِنَّا، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَحَالَفَ ضِدَّنَا جَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ فِي الْجَبَلِ». | ٦ |
7 So Ioshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of warre with him, and all the men of might.
| فَانْطَلَقَ يَشُوعُ مِنَ الْجِلْجَالِ بِقُوَّاتِهِ وَجُنُودِهِ الأَشِدَّاءِ. | ٧ |
8 And the Lord sayd vnto Ioshua, Feare them not: for I haue giuen them into thine hand: none of them shall stand against thee.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «لا تَخَفْ مِنْهُمْ، لأَنَّنِي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُهُمْ إِلَى يَدِكَ، وَلَنْ يَجْرُؤَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى مُقَاوَمَتِكَ». | ٨ |
9 Ioshua therefore came vnto them suddenly: for he went vp from Gilgal all the night.
| فَبَاغَتَهُمْ يَشُوعُ عَلَى حِينِ غِرَّةٍ إِذْ سَارَ طَوَالَ اللَّيْلِ كُلِّهِ مِنَ الْجِلْجَالِ. | ٩ |
10 And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth vp to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah and to Makkedah.
| وَأَلْقَى الرَّبُّ فِيهِمِ الرُّعْبَ أَمَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ هَزَمُوهُمْ هَزِيمَةً نَكْرَاءَ فِي جِبْعُونَ، وَتَعَقَّبُوهُمْ فِي طَرِيقِ عَقَبَةِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا عَزِيقَةَ وَمَقِّيدَةَ. | ١٠ |
11 And as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going downe to Beth-horon, the Lord cast downe great stones from heauen vpon them, vntill Azekah, and they dyed: they were more that dyed with the hailestones, then they whom the children of Israel slewe with the sword.
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ لائِذُونَ بِالْفِرَارِ أَمَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ عِنْدَ مُنْحَدَرِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ، قَذَفَهُمُ الرَّبُّ بِعَاصِفَةٍ مِنْ بَرَدٍ عَظِيمٍ انْهَمَرَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى أَشْرَفُوا عَلَى عَزِيقَةَ فَمَاتُوا. وَكَانَ الَّذِينَ قَضَى عَلَيْهِمِ الْبَرَدُ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ سَيْفُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١١ |
12 Then spake Ioshua to the Lord, in the day when the Lord gaue the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he sayd in the sight of Israel, Sunne, stay thou in Gibeon, and thou moone, in the valley of Aialon.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي هَزَمَ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ الأُمُورِيِّينَ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ابْتَهَلَ يَشُوعُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ عَلَى مَسْمَعٍ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ: «يَا شَمْسُ دُومِي عَلَى جِبْعُونَ، وَيَا قَمَرُ عَلَى وَادِي أَيَّلُونَ». | ١٢ |
13 And the Sunne abode, and the moone stood still, vntill the people auenged themselues vpon their enemies: (Is not this written in the booke of Iasher?) so the Sunne abode in the middes of the heauen, and hasted not to goe downe for a whole day.
| فَثَبَتَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَتَوَقَّفَ الْقَمَرُ حَتَّى انْتَقَمَ الْجَيْشُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ. أَلَيْسَ هَذَا مُدَوَّناً فِي كِتَابِ يَاشَرَ؟ فَوَقَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي كَبِدِ السَّمَاءِ وَلَمْ تُسْرِعْ لِلْغُرُوبِ نَحْوَ يَوْمٍ كَامِلٍ. | ١٣ |
14 And there was no day like that before it, nor after it, that the Lord heard the voyce of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.
| وَلَمْ يَحْدُثْ نَظِيرُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلا مِنْ بَعْدُ، فِيهِ اسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ دُعَاءَ إِنْسَانٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ حَارَبَ حَقّاً عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٤ |
15 After, Ioshua returned, and all Israel with him vnto the campe to Gilgal:
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَجَيْشُهُ إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ. | ١٥ |
16 But the fiue Kings fled and were hid in a caue at Makkedah.
| وَهَرَبَ المُلُوكُ الْخَمْسَةُ وَاخْتَبَأُوا فِي كَهْفٍ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ. | ١٦ |
17 And it was tolde Ioshua, saying, The fiue Kings are found hid in a caue at Makkedah.
| وَعِنْدَمَا قِيلَ لِيَشُوعَ إِنَّ الْمُلُوكَ الْخَمْسَةَ مُخْتَبِئُونَ فِي الْكَهْفِ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ | ١٧ |
18 Then Ioshua said, Roule great stones vpon the mouth of the caue, and set men by it for to keepe them.
| قَالَ: «دَحْرِجُوا حِجَارَةً كَبِيرَةً عَلَى مَدْخَلِ الْكَهْفِ وَأَقِيمُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حُرَّاساً. | ١٨ |
19 But stand ye not still: follow after your enemies, and smite all the hindmost, suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath giuen them into your hand.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَعَقَّبُوا جَيْشَ الْعَدُوِّ وَهَاجِمُوا مُؤَخَّرَتَهُ وَلا تَدَعُوا مُحَارِبِيهِ يَدْخُلُونَ مُدُنَهُمْ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَسْلَمَهُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ». | ١٩ |
20 And when Ioshua and the children of Israel had made an ende of slaying them with an exceeding great slaughter till they were consumed, and the rest that remained of them were entred into walled cities,
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ هَزَمَ يَشُوعُ وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُلُوكَ الْخَمْسَةَ هَزِيمَةً فَادِحَةً، وَلَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُمْ إِلا قِلَّةٌ مِنَ الشَّارِدِينَ الَّذِينَ لَجَأُوا إِلَى الْمُدُنِ الْحَصِينَةِ | ٢٠ |
21 Then all the people returned to the campe, to Ioshua at Makkedah in peace: no man mooued his tongue against the children of Israel.
| رَجَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ بِسَلامٍ حَيْثُ كَانَ يَشُوعُ. وَلَمْ يَجْرُؤْ أَحَدٌ عَلَى مُعَارَضَتِهِمْ. | ٢١ |
22 After, Ioshua sayd, Open the mouth of the caue, and bring out these fiue Kings vnto me forth of the caue.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ يَشُوعُ: «افْتَحُوا مَدْخَلَ الْكَهْفِ وَأَخْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ الْمُلُوكَ الْخَمْسَةَ» | ٢٢ |
23 And they did so, and brought out those fiue Kings vnto him forth of the caue, euen the King of Ierusalem, the King of Hebron, ye King of Iarmuth, the King of Lachish, and the King of Eglon.
| فَنَفَّذُوا أَمْرَهُ وَأَخْرَجُوا الْمُلُوكَ الْخَمْسَةَ: مَلِكَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمَلِكَ حَبْرُونَ وَمَلِكَ يَرْمُوتَ وَمَلِكَ لَخِيشَ وَمَلِكَ عَجْلُونَ، | ٢٣ |
24 And when they had brought out those Kings vnto Ioshua, Ioshua called for all the men of Israel, and sayd vnto the chiefe of the men of warre, which went with him, Come neere, set your feete vpon the necks of these Kings: and they came neere and set their feete vpon their necks.
| وَمَا إِنْ أَقْبَلُوا بِهِمْ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَدْعَى كُلَّ مَحَارِبِيهِ، وَقَالَ لِقَادَتِهِمِ الَّذِينَ سَارُوا مَعَهُ: «تَقَدَّمُوا وَطِئُوا بِأَرْجُلِكُمْ رِقَابَ هَؤُلاءِ الْمُلُوكِ». فَفَعَلُوا كَذَلِكَ. | ٢٤ |
25 And Ioshua sayd vnto them, Feare not, nor be faint hearted, but be strong and of a good courage: for thus will the Lord doe to all your enemies, against whome ye fight.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ: «لا تَخَافُوا وَلا تَجْزَعُوا، بَلْ تَقَوَّوْا وَتَشَجَّعُوا، لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَصْنَعُ الرَّبُّ بِجَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُحَارِبُونَهُمْ». | ٢٥ |
26 So then Ioshua smote them, and slewe them, and hanged them on fiue trees, and they hanged still vpon the trees vntill the euening.
| ثُمَّ قَتَلَهُمْ يَشُوعُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَعَلَّقَ جُثَثَهُمْ عَلَى خَمْسَةِ أَشْجَارٍ، حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ. | ٢٦ |
27 And at the going downe of the sunne, Ioshua gaue commandement, that they should take them downe off the trees, and cast them into the caue (wherein they had bene hid) and they layde great stones vpon the caues mouth, which remaine vntill this day.
| وَعِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ أَمَرَ يَشُوعُ فَأَنْزَلُوهُمْ عَنْهَا وَطَرَحُوهُمْ فِي الْكَهْفِ الَّذِي لَجَأُوا إِلَيْهِ وَسَدُّوا مَدْخَلَهُ بِحِجَارَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ بَاقِيَةٍ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٢٧ |
28 And that same day Ioshua tooke Makkedah and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the King thereof destroyed he with them, and all the soules that were therein, he let none remaine: for hee did to the King of Makkedah as he had done vnto the King of Iericho.
| وَاسْتَوْلَى يَشُوعُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَلَى مَقِّيدَةَ وَقَتَلَ بِالسَّيْفِ مَلِكَهَا وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ فِيهَا. لَمْ يُفْلِتْ مِنْهَا نَاجٍ، وَصَنَعَ بِمَلِكِ مَقِّيدَةَ مَا صَنَعَهُ بِمَلِكِ أَرِيحَا. | ٢٨ |
29 Then Ioshua went from Makkedah, and all Israel with him vnto Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
| ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ يَشُوعُ عَلَى رَأْسِ جَيْشِهِ مِنْ مَقِّيدَةَ إِلَى لِبْنَةَ وَحَارَبَهَا، | ٢٩ |
30 And the Lord gaue it also and the King thereof into the hand of Israel: and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein: he let none remaine in it: for he did vnto the King thereof, as he had done vnto the King of Iericho.
| فَأَسْلَمَهَا الرَّبُّ هِيَ أَيْضاً إِلَى يَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَ مَلِكِهَا، فَدَمَّرَهَا وَقَتَلَ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ فِيهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فَلَمْ يُفْلِتْ مِنْهَا نَاجٍ، وَصَنَعَ بِمَلِكِهَا مَا صَنَعَهُ بِمَلِكِ أَرِيحَا. | ٣٠ |
31 And Ioshua departed from Libnah, and all Israel with him vnto Lachish, and besieged it, and assaulted it.
| بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَقَدَّمَ يَشُوعُ مِنْ لِبْنَةَ إِلَى لَخِيشَ وَحَاصَرَهَا وَهَاجَمَهَا، | ٣١ |
32 And the Lord gaue Lachish into the hand of Israel, which tooke it the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein, according to all as he had done to Libnah.
| فَأَسْلَمَ الرَّبُّ لَخِيشَ إِلَى يَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي وَدَمَّرُوهَا وَقَتَلُوا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ فِيهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، نَظِيرَ مَا صَنَعُوا بِلِبْنَةَ. | ٣٢ |
33 Then Horam King of Gezer came vp to helpe Lachish: but Ioshua smote him and his people, vntill none of his remained.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ أَقْبَلَ هُورَامُ مَلِكُ جَازَرَ لِمَعُونَةِ لَخِيشَ، فَقَضَى يَشُوعُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى جَيْشِهِ فَلَمْ يُفْلِتْ مِنْهُمْ نَاجٍ. | ٣٣ |
34 And from Lachish Ioshua departed vnto Eglon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged it, and assaulted it,
| ثُمَّ تَحَرَّكَ يَشُوعُ وَجَيْشُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ لَخِيشَ نَحْوَ عَجْلُونَ فَحَاصَرُوهَا وَحَارَبُوهَا، | ٣٤ |
35 And they tooke it the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein he vtterly destroyed the same day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
| وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَدَمَّرُوهَا، وَقَضَوْا عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ فِيهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، عَلَى غِرَارِ مَا صَنَعُوا بِلَخِيشَ. | ٣٥ |
36 Then Ioshua went vp from Eglon, and all Israel with him vnto Hebron, and they fought against it.
| ثُمَّ اتَّجَهَ يَشُوعُ بِقُوَّاتِهِ مِنْ عَجْلُونَ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ وَهَاجَمُوهَا، | ٣٦ |
37 And when they had taken it, they smote it with the edge of the sword, and the King thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the soules that were therein: he left none remaining, according to all as he had done to Eglon: for he destroyed it vtterly, and all the soules that were therein.
| وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا وَدَمَّرُوهَا مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ ضَوَاحِيهَا التَّابِعَةِ لَهَا، وَقَتَلُوا مَلِكَهَا وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ فِيهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فَلَمْ يُفْلِتْ مِنْهَا نَاجٍ، عَلَى غِرَارِ مَا صَنَعُوا بِعَجْلُونَ. وَهَكَذَا قَضَوْا عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ فِيهَا. | ٣٧ |
38 So Ioshua returned, and all Israel with him to Debir, and fought against it.
| ثُمَّ عَادَ يَشُوعُ إِلَى دَبِيرَ وَهَاجَمَهَا، | ٣٨ |
39 And when he had taken it, and the King thereof, and all the citie thereof, they smote them with the edge of the sword, and vtterly destroyed all the soules that were therein, he let none remaine: as he did to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the King thereof, as he had also done to Libnah, and to the King thereof.
| وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا وَدَمَّرَهَا مَعَ ضَوَاحِيهَا وَقَتَلَ مَلِكَهَا وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ فِيهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فَلَمْ يُفْلِتْ مِنْهَا نَاجٍ، فَصَنَعَ بِدَبِيرَ وَمَلِكِهَا نَظِيرَ مَا صَنَعَ بِلِبْنَةَ وَمَلِكِهَا. | ٣٩ |
40 So Ioshua smote all the hill countreys, and the South countreys, and the valleys, and the hill sides, and all their Kings, and let none remaine, but vtterly destroyed euery soule, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded.
| وَهَكَذَا هَاجَمَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ أَرْضِ الْجَبَلِ وَالْمَنَاطِقِ السَّهْلِيَّةِ وَالسَّفْحِ وَدَمَّرَهَا وَقَتَلَ كُلَّ مُلُوكِهَا، وَلَمْ يُفْلِتْ مِنْهَا نَاجٍ، بَلْ قَضَى عَلَى كُلِّ حَيٍّ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤٠ |
41 And Ioshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea euen vnto Azzah, and all the countrey of Goshen, euen vnto Gibeon.
| وَهَكَذَا أَخْضَعَ يَشُوعُ الْمِنْطَقَةَ بَدْءاً مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ إِلَى غَزَّةَ، بِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْطَقَةُ جُوشِنَ وَجِبْعُونَ. | ٤١ |
42 And all these Kings, and their land did Ioshua take at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.
| وَظَفِرَ يَشُوعُ بِجَمِيعِ هَؤُلاءِ الْمُلُوكِ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى أَرْضِهِمْ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَارَبَ عَنْهُمْ. | ٤٢ |
43 Afterward, Ioshua and all Israel with him returned vnto the campe in Gilgal.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ جَيْشِهِ مَعَهُ إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ، إِلَى الْجِلْجَالِ. | ٤٣ |
