< Joshua 22 >

1 Then Ioshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh,
حِينَئِذٍ دَعَا يَشُوعُ ٱلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى،١
2 And sayd vnto them, Ye haue kept all that Moses the seruaunt of the Lord commanded you, and haue obeied my voice in all that I commanded you:
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ حَفِظْتُمْ كُلَّ مَا أَمَرَكُمْ بِهِ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتِي فِي كُلِّ مَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ،٢
3 You haue not forsaken your brethren this long season vnto this day, but haue diligently kept the commandement of the Lord your God.
وَلَمْ تَتْرُكُوا إِخْوَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامَ ٱلْكَثِيرَةَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَحَفِظْتُمْ مَا يُحْفَظُ، وَصِيَّةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.٣
4 And nowe the Lord hath giuen rest vnto your brethren as he promised them: therefore nowe returne ye and goe to your tentes, to the land of your possession, which Moses the seruant of the Lord hath giuen you beyond Iorden.
وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ أَرَاحَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ إِخْوَتَكُمْ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُمْ. فَٱنْصَرِفُوا ٱلْآنَ وَٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى خِيَامِكُمْ فِي أَرْضِ مُلْكِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ، فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ.٤
5 But take diligent heede, to doe the commandement and Lawe, which Moses the seruant of the Lord commanded you: that is, that ye loue the Lord your God, and walke in all his wayes, and keepe his commandements, and cleaue vnto him, and serue him with all your heart and with all your soule.
وَإِنَّمَا ٱحْرِصُوا جِدًّا أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا ٱلْوَصِيَّةَ وَٱلشَّرِيعَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِهَا مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ: أَنْ تُحِبُّوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ، وَتَسِيرُوا فِي كُلِّ طُرُقِهِ، وَتَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَاهُ، وَتَلْصَقُوا بِهِ وَتَعْبُدُوهُ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكُمْ وَبِكُلِّ نَفْسِكُمْ».٥
6 So Ioshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went vnto their tents.
ثُمَّ بَارَكَهُمْ يَشُوعُ وَصَرَفَهُمْ، فَذَهَبُوا إِلَى خِيَامِهِمْ.٦
7 Nowe vnto one halfe of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had giuen a possession in Bashan: and vnto the other halfe thereof gaue Ioshua among their brethren on this side Iorden Westwarde: therefore when Ioshua sent them away vnto their tents, and blessed them,
وَلِنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى أَعْطَى مُوسَى فِي بَاشَانَ، وَأَمَّا نِصْفُهُ ٱلْآخَرُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ يَشُوعُ مَعَ إِخْوَتِهِمْ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ غَرْبًا. وَعِنْدَمَا صَرَفَهُمْ يَشُوعُ أَيْضًا إِلَى خِيَامِهِمْ بَارَكَهُمْ٧
8 Thus he spake vnto them, saying, Returne with much riches vnto your tents, and with a great multitude of cattell, with siluer and with golde, with brasse and with yron, and with great abundance of rayment: deuide the spoyle of your enemies with your brethren.
وَكَلَّمَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «بِمَالٍ كَثِيرٍ ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَى خِيَامِكُمْ، وَبِمَوَاشٍ كَثِيرَةٍ جِدًّا، بِفِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَنُحَاسٍ وَحَدِيدٍ وَمَلَابِسَ كَثِيرَةٍ جِدًّا. اِقْسِمُوا غَنِيمَةَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ مَعَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ».٨
9 So the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel from Shiloh (which is in the land of Canaan) to goe vnto the countrey of Gilead to the land of their possession, which they had obteyned, according to ye word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
فَرَجَعَ بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادَ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى، وَذَهَبُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ شِيلُوهَ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ لِكَيْ يَسِيرُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ، أَرْضِ مُلْكِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي تَمَلَّكُوا بِهَا حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى يَدِ مُوسَى.٩
10 And when they came vnto the borders of Iorden (which are in the land of Canaan) then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh, built there an altar by Iorden, a great altar to see to.
وَجَاءُوا إِلَى دَائِرَةِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. وَبَنَى بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادَ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا عَلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، مَذْبَحًا عَظِيمَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ.١٠
11 When the children of Israel heard say, Beholde, the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh haue built an altar in the forefront of the lande of Canaan vpon the borders of Iorden at the passage of the children of Israel:
فَسَمِعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَوْلًا: «هُوَذَا قَدْ بَنَى بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادَ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى مَذْبَحًا فِي وَجْهِ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، فِي دَائِرَةِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ مُقَابِلَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».١١
12 When the children of Israel heard it, then the whole Congregation of the children of Israel gathered them together at Shiloh to goe vp to warre against them.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱجْتَمَعَتْ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي شِيلُوهَ لِكَيْ يَصْعَدُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لِلْحَرْبِ.١٢
13 Then the children of Israel sent vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to ye halfe tribe of Manasseh into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest,
فَأَرْسَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنِي جَادَ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى إِلَى أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ، فِينَحَاسَ بْنَ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ١٣
14 And with him ten princes, of euery chiefe house a prince, according to all the tribes of Israel: for euery one was chiefe of their fathers housholde among the thousands of Israel.
وَعَشْرَةَ رُؤَسَاءَ مَعَهُ، رَئِيسًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ بَيْتِ أَبٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ رَئِيسُ بَيْتِ آبَائِهِمْ فِي أُلُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.١٤
15 So they went vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the halfe tribe of Manasseh, vnto the land of Gilead, and spake with them, saying,
فَجَاءُوا إِلَى بَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنِي جَادَ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى إِلَى أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ، وَكَلَّمُوهُمْ قَائِلِينَ:١٥
16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the Lord, What transgression is this that ye haue transgressed against the God of Israel, to turne away this day from the Lord, in that ye haue built you an altar for to rebell this day against the Lord?
«هَكَذَا قَالَتْ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ: مَا هَذِهِ ٱلْخِيَانَةُ ٱلَّتِي خُنْتُمْ بِهَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، بِٱلرُّجُوعِ ٱلْيَوْمَ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بِبُنْيَانِكُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مَذْبَحًا لِتَتَمَرَّدُوا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ؟١٦
17 Haue we too litle for the wickednesse of Peor, whereof we are not clensed vnto this day, though a plague came vpon the Congregation of the Lord?
أَقَلِيلٌ لَنَا إِثْمُ فَغُورَ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ نَتَطَهَّرْ مِنْهُ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَكَانَ ٱلْوَبَأُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ،١٧
18 Ye also are turned away this day from the Lord: and seeing ye rebell to day against ye Lord, euen to morowe he will be wroth with all the Congregation of Israel.
حَتَّى تَرْجِعُوا أَنْتُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ فَيَكُونُ أَنَّكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ تَتَمَرَّدُونَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَهُوَ غَدًا يَسْخَطُ عَلَى كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.١٨
19 Notwithstanding if the land of your possession be vncleane, come ye ouer vnto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lordes Tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among vs: but rebell not against the Lord, nor rebell not against vs in building you an altar, beside the altar of the Lord our God.
وَلَكِنْ إِذَا كَانَتْ نَجِسَةً أَرْضُ مُلْكِكُمْ فَٱعْبُرُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ مُلْكِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي يَسْكُنُ فِيهَا مَسْكَنُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَتَمَلَّكُوا بَيْنَنَا، وَعَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لَا تَتَمَرَّدُوا، وَعَلَيْنَا لَا تَتَمَرَّدُوا بِبِنَائِكُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مَذْبَحًا غَيْرَ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا.١٩
20 Did not Achan ye sonne of Zerah trespasse grieuously in the execrable thing, and wrath fell on all the Congregation of Israel? and this man alone perished not in his wickednesse.
أَمَا خَانَ عَخَانُ بْنُ زَارَحَ خِيَانَةً فِي ٱلْحَرَامِ، فَكَانَ ٱلسَّخَطُ عَلَى كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَهْلِكْ وَحْدَهُ بِإِثْمِهِ؟».٢٠
21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh answered, and saide vnto the heads ouer the thousands of Israel,
فَأَجَابَ بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادَ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى وَقَالُوا لِرُؤَسَاءِ أُلُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ:٢١
22 The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel himselfe shall know: if by rebellion, or by transgression against ye Lord we haue done it, saue thou vs not this day.
«إِلَهُ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِلَهُ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ يَعْلَمُ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ سَيَعْلَمُ. إِنْ كَانَ بِتَمَرُّدٍ وَإِنْ كَانَ بِخِيَانَةٍ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، لَا تُخَلِّصْنَا هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ.٢٢
23 If we haue built vs an altar to returne away from the Lord, either to offer thereon burnt offering, or meate offering, or to offer peace offerings thereon, let the Lord himselfe require it:
بُنْيَانُنَا لِأَنْفُسِنَا مَذْبَحًا لِلرُّجُوعِ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَوْ لِإِصْعَادِ مُحْرَقَةٍ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ تَقْدِمَةٍ أَوْ لِعَمَلِ ذَبَائِحِ سَلَامَةٍ عَلَيْهِ، فَٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ يُطَالِبُ.٢٣
24 And if we haue not rather done it for feare of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might say vnto our children, What haue ye to doe with the Lord God of Israel?
وَإِنْ كُنَّا لَمْ نَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ خَوْفًا وَعَنْ سَبَبٍ قَائِلِينَ: غَدًا يُكَلِّمُ بَنُوكُمْ بَنِينَا قَائِلِينَ: مَا لَكُمْ وَلِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ!٢٤
25 For the Lord hath made Iorden a border betweene vs and you, ye children of Reuben, and of Gad: therefore ye haue no part in the Lord: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the Lord.
قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ تُخْمًا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ يَا بَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنِي جَادَ: ٱلْأُرْدُنُّ. لَيْسَ لَكُمْ قِسْمٌ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ. فَيَرُدُّ بَنُوكُمْ بَنِينَا حَتَّى لَا يَخَافُوا ٱلرَّبَّ.٢٥
26 Therefore we said, We will nowe go about to make vs an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice,
فَقُلْنَا نَصْنَعُ نَحْنُ لِأَنْفُسِنَا. نَبْنِي مَذْبَحًا، لَا لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ وَلَا لِلذَّبِيحَةِ،٢٦
27 But it shall be a witnesse betweene vs and you, and betweene our generations after vs, to execute the seruice of the Lord before him in our burnt offerings, and in our sacrifices, and in our peace offerings, and that your children should not say to our children in time to come, Ye haue no part in the Lord.
بَلْ لِيَكُونَ هُوَ شَاهِدًا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ أَجْيَالِنَا بَعْدَنَا، لِكَيْ نَخْدُمَ خِدْمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَمَامَهُ بِمُحْرَقَاتِنَا وَذَبَائِحِنَا وَذَبَائِحِ سَلَامَتِنَا، وَلَا يَقُولُ بَنُوكُمْ غَدًا لِبَنِينَا: لَيْسَ لَكُمْ قِسْمٌ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ.٢٧
28 Therefore said we, If so be that they should so say to vs or to our generations in time to come, then will we answere, Beholde the facion of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice, but it is a witnesse betweene vs and you.
وَقُلْنَا: يَكُونُ مَتَى قَالُوا كَذَا لَنَا وَلِأَجْيَالِنَا غَدًا، أَنَّنَا نَقُولُ: اُنْظُرُوا شِبْهَ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ آبَاؤُنَا، لَا لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ وَلَا لِلذَّبِيحَةِ، بَلْ هُوَ شَاهِدٌ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ.٢٨
29 God forbid, that we should rebell against the Lord, and turne this day away from the Lord to builde an altar for burnt offering, or for meate offering, or for sacrifice, saue the altar of the Lord our God, that is before his Tabernacle.
حَاشَا لَنَا مِنْهُ أَنْ نَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَنَرْجِعَ ٱلْيَوْمَ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِبِنَاءِ مَذْبَحٍ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ أَوِ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ أَوِ ٱلذَّبِيحَةِ، عَدَا مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا ٱلَّذِي هُوَ قُدَّامَ مَسْكَنِهِ».٢٩
30 And when Phinehas the Priest, and the princes of the Congregation and heads ouer the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the wordes, that the children of Reuben, and children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh spake, they were well content.
فَسَمِعَ فِينْحَاسُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَرُؤُوسُ أُلُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادَ وَبَنُو مَنَسَّى، فَحَسُنَ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ.٣٠
31 And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest said vnto the children of Reuben and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceiue, that the Lord is among vs, because ye haue not done this trespasse against the Lord: nowe ye haue deliuered the children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord.
فَقَالَ فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ لِبَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنِي جَادَ وَبَنِي مَنَسَّى: «ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ بَيْنَنَا لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَخُونُوا ٱلرَّبَّ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْخِيَانَةِ. فَٱلْآنَ قَدْ أَنْقَذْتُمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ».٣١
32 Then Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest with the princes returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, vnto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them answere.
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلكَاهِنِ وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ مِنْ عِنْدِ بَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنِي جَادَ مِنْ أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهِمْ خَبَرًا.٣٢
33 And the saying pleased the children of Israel: and the children of Israel blessed God, and minded not to goe against them in battell, for to destroy the land, wherein the children of Reuben, and Gad dwelt.
فَحَسُنَ ٱلْأَمْرُ فِي أَعْيُنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَارَكَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱللهَ، وَلَمْ يَفْتَكِرُوا بِٱلصُّعُودِ إِلَيْهِمْ لِلْحَرْبِ وَتَخْرِيبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادَ سَاكِنِينَ بِهَا.٣٣
34 Then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witnesse betweene vs, that the Lord is God.
وَسَمَّى بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادَ ٱلْمَذْبَحَ «عِيدًا» لِأَنَّهُ «شَاهِدٌ بَيْنَنَا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُوَ ٱللهُ».٣٤
