< Joshua 5 >

1 Nowe when all the Kings of the Amorites, which were beyond Iorden Westward, and all the Kinges of the Canaanites which were by the Sea, heard that the Lord had dried vp the waters of Iorden before the children of Israel vntill they were gone ouer, their heart fainted: and there was no courage in them any more because of the children of Israel.
وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ جَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ غَرْبًا، وَجَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ يَبَّسَ مِيَاهَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى عَبَرْنَا، ذَابَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَلَمْ تَبْقَ فِيهِمْ رُوحٌ بَعْدُ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.١
2 That same time the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Make thee sharpe kniues, and returne, and circumcise the sonnes of Israel the second time.
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱصْنَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ سَكَاكِينَ مِنْ صَوَّانٍ، وَعُدْ فَٱخْتُنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَانِيَةً».٢
3 Then Ioshua made him sharpe kniues and circumcised the sonnes of Israel in the hill of the foreskinnes.
فَصَنَعَ يَشُوعُ سَكَاكِينَ مِنْ صَوَّانٍ وَخَتَنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تَلِّ ٱلْقُلَفِ.٣
4 And this is the cause why Ioshua circumcised all the people, euen the males that came out of Egypt, because all the men of warre were dead in the wildernesse by the way after they came out of Egypt.
وَهَذَا هُوَ سَبَبُ خَتْنِ يَشُوعَ إِيَّاهُمْ: أَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، ٱلذُّكُوِرَ، جَمِيعَ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، مَاتُوا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ.٤
5 For all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were borne in the wildernes by the way after they came out of Egypt, were not circumcised.
لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا كَانُوا مَخْتُونِينَ، وَأَمَّا جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ فَلَمْ يُخْتَنُوا.٥
6 For the children of Israel walked fourtie yeres in the wildernes, till all the people of the men of warre that came out of Egypt were consumed, because they obeyed not the voyce of the Lord: vnto whome the Lord sware, that he would not shewe them the lande, which the Lord had sworne vnto their fathers, that he would giue vs, euen a land that floweth with milke and hony.
لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سَارُوا أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ حَتَّى فَنِيَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ، رِجَالُ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلَّذِينَ حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ لَا يُرِيهِمِ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا إِيَّاهَا، ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.٦
7 So their sonnes whome he raysed vp in their steade, Ioshua circumcised: for they were vncircumcised, because they circumcised them not by the way.
وَأَمَّا بَنُوهُمْ فَأَقَامَهُمْ مَكَانَهُمْ. فَإِيَّاهُمْ خَتَنَ يَشُوعُ لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قُلْفًا، إِذْ لَمْ يَخْتِنُوهُمْ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ.٧
8 And when they had made an ende of circumcising al the people, they abode in the places in the campe till they were whole.
وَكَانَ بَعْدَمَا ٱنْتَهَى جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنْ ٱلِٱخْتِتَانِ، أَنَّهُمْ أَقَامُوا فِي أَمَاكِنِهِمْ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ حَتَّى بَرِئُوا.٨
9 After, the Lord said vnto Ioshua, This day I haue taken away the shame of Egypt from you: wherefore he called the name of that place Gilgal, vnto this day.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱلْيَوْمَ قَدْ دَحْرَجْتُ عَنْكُمْ عَارَ مِصْرَ». فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «ٱلْجِلْجَالَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.٩
10 So the children of Israel abode in Gilgal, and kept ye feast of the Passeouer the fourteenth day of the moneth at euen in ye plaine of Iericho.
فَحَلَّ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، وَعَمِلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ مَسَاءً فِي عَرَبَاتِ أَرِيحَا.١٠
11 And they did eat of the corne of the land, on the morow after the Passeouer, vnleauened breade, and parched corne in the same day.
وَأَكَلُوا مِنْ غَلَّةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي ٱلْغَدِ بَعْدَ ٱلْفِصْحِ فَطِيرًا وَفَرِيكًا فِي نَفْسِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.١١
12 And the MAN ceased on the morowe after they had eaten of the corne of the land, neither had the children of Israel MAN any more, but did eate of the fruite of the land of Canaan that yeere.
وَٱنْقَطَعَ ٱلْمَنُّ فِي ٱلْغَدِ عِنْدَ أَكْلِهِمْ مِنْ غَلَّةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مَنٌّ. فَأَكَلُوا مِنْ مَحْصُولِ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ.١٢
13 And when Ioshua was by Iericho, he lift vp his eyes and looked: and behold, there stood a man against him, hauing a sword drawen in his hand: and Ioshua went vnto him, and said vnto him, Art thou on our side, or on our aduersaries?
وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَشُوعُ عِنْدَ أَرِيحَا أَنَّهُ رَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَظَرَ، وَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ وَاقِفٍ قُبَالَتَهُ، وَسَيْفُهُ مَسْلُولٌ بِيَدِهِ. فَسَارَ يَشُوعُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَلْ لَنَا أَنْتَ أَوْ لِأَعدَائِنَا؟»١٣
14 And he said, Nay, but as a captaine of the host of the Lord am I nowe come: then Ioshua fel on his face to the earth, and did worship, and saide vnto him, What sayth my Lord vnto his seruant?
فَقَالَ: «كَلَّا، بَلْ أَنَا رَئِيسُ جُنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٱلْآنَ أَتَيْتُ». فَسَقَطَ يَشُوعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: «بِمَاذَا يُكَلِّمُ سَيِّدِي عَبْدَهُ؟»١٤
15 And the captaine of ye Lords host said vnto Ioshua, Loose thy shoe of thy foote: for ye place wheron thou standest, is holy: and Ioshua did so.
فَقَالَ رَئِيسُ جُنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱخْلَعْ نَعْلَكَ مِنْ رِجْلِكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَكَانَ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَيْهِ هُوَ مُقَدَّسٌ». فَفَعَلَ يَشُوعُ كَذَلِكَ.١٥
