Joshua 22
1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
| حِينَئِذٍ دَعَا يَشُوعُ ٱلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى، | ١ |
2 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed 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 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.
| وَلَمْ تَتْرُكُوا إِخْوَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامَ ٱلْكَثِيرَةَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَحَفِظْتُمْ مَا يُحْفَظُ، وَصِيَّةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. | ٣ |
4 And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, [and] unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.
| 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 heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
| 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 Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.
| ثُمَّ بَارَكَهُمْ يَشُوعُ وَصَرَفَهُمْ، فَذَهَبُوا إِلَى خِيَامِهِمْ. | ٦ |
7 Now to the [one] half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [possession] in Bashan: but unto the [other] half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he 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 بَارَكَهُمْ | ٧ |
8 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil 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 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the 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 unto the borders of Jordan, that [are] in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, 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 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, 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 And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱجْتَمَعَتْ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي شِيلُوهَ لِكَيْ يَصْعَدُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لِلْحَرْبِ. | ١٢ |
13 And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
| فَأَرْسَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنِي جَادَ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى إِلَى أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ، فِينَحَاسَ بْنَ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ | ١٣ |
14 And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one [was] an head of the house of their fathers 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 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they 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 trespass [is] this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel 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 [Is] the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,
| أَقَلِيلٌ لَنَا إِثْمُ فَغُورَ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ نَتَطَهَّرْ مِنْهُ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَكَانَ ٱلْوَبَأُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ١٧ |
18 But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, [seeing] ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole 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] unclean, [then] pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD’s tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, 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 the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
| 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 the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of 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 he shall know; if [it be] in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us 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 That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself 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 have not [rather] done it for fear of [this] thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do 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 Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have 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, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:
| فَقُلْنَا نَصْنَعُ نَحْنُ لِأَنْفُسِنَا. نَبْنِي مَذْبَحًا، لَا لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ وَلَا لِلذَّبِيحَةِ، | ٢٦ |
27 But [that] it [may be] a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have 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, that it shall be, when they should [so] say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say [again], Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it [is] a witness between us 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 rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside 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 of the thousands of Israel which [were] with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.
| 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 son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD [is] among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered 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 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
| 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 thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, 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 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [Ed: ] for it [shall be] a witness between us that the LORD [is] God.
| وَسَمَّى بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادَ ٱلْمَذْبَحَ «عِيدًا» لِأَنَّهُ «شَاهِدٌ بَيْنَنَا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُوَ ٱللهُ». | ٣٤ |
