Joshua 5
1 And it came to pass when the kings of the Amorites who were beyond Jordan heard, and the kings of Phoenicia by the sea, that the Lord God had dried up the river Jordan from before the children of Israel when they passed over, that their hearts failed, and they were terror-stricken, and there was no sense in them because of the children of Israel.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ جَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي غَرْبِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَجَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ عَلَى شَوَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ، أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ جَفَّفَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى عَبَرُوهُ، خَارَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَتَلاشَتْ قُوَاهُمْ هَلَعاً مِنْهُمْ. | ١ |
2 And about this time the Lord said to Joshua, Make you stone knives of sharp stone, and sit down and circumcise the children of Israel the second time.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ آنَئِذٍ لِيَشُوعَ: «اصْنَعْ لَكَ سَكَاكِينَ مِنْ حَجَرِ الصَّوَّانِ وَاخْتِنْ ذُكُورَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَانِيَةً». | ٢ |
3 And Joshua made sharp knives of stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called the “Hill of Foreskins.”
| فَصَنَعَ سَكَاكِينَ مِنْ حَجَرِ صَوَّانٍ وَخَتَنَ ذُكُورَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تَلِّ الْقُلْفِ. | ٣ |
4 And [this is] the way in which Joshua purified the children of Israel; as many as were born in the way, and as many as were uncircumcised of them that came out of Egypt,
| أَمَّا مَا دَعَا يَشُوعَ لِخَتْنِ ذُكُورِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، فَهُوَ مَوْتُ جَمِيعِ الذُّكُورِ الْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ مِصْرَ مِنْ رِجَالِ الْقِتَالِ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، بَعْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ٤ |
5 all these Joshua circumcised; for forty and two years Israel wondered in the wilderness of Mabdaris—
| وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ هَؤُلاءِ الْخَارِجِينَ مَخْتُونِينَ، وَأَمَّا الذُّكُورُ الْمَوْلُودُونَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ الرِّحْلَةِ مِنْ مِصْرَ فَلَمْ يَخْتَتِنُوا، | ٥ |
6 Therefore most of the fighting men that came out of the land of Egypt, were uncircumcised, who disobeyed the commands of God; concerning whom also he determined that they should not see the land, which the Lord sware to give to their fathers, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey.
| إِذْ ظَلَّ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَائِهِينَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، حَتَّى هَلَكَ جَمِيعُ مَنْ كَانَ فِي سِنِّ الْجُنْدِيَّةِ مِنَ الْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، الَّذِينَ عَصَوْا أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي أَقْسَمَ أَنْ يَحْرِمَهُمْ مِنْ رُؤْيَةِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً الَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَهُمْ. | ٦ |
7 And in their place he raised up their sons, whom Joshua circumcised, because they were uncircumcised, having been born by the way.
| لِذَلِكَ أَحَلَّ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ مَحَلَّهُمْ، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ خَتَنَهُمْ يَشُوعُ لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قُلْفاً، إِذْ لَمْ يَخْتَتِنُوا فِي الطَّرِيقِ. | ٧ |
8 And when they had been circumcised they rested continuing there in the camp till they were healed.
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ تَمَّ خِتَانُ جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ مَكَثُوا فِي أَمَاكِنِهِمْ فِي الْمُخَيَّمِ حَتَّى بَرِئَتْ جِرَاحُهُمْ. | ٨ |
9 And the Lord said to Joshua the son of Naue, On this day have I removed the reproach of Egypt from you: and he called the name of that place Galgala.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «الْيَوْمَ قَدْ دَحْرَجْتُ عَنْكُمْ عَارَ مِصْرَ»، فَدُعِيَ اسْمُ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ الْجِلْجَالَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ مُتَدَحْرِجٌ) إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٩ |
10 And the children of Israel kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, to the westward of Jericho on the opposite side of the Jordan in the plain.
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مُخَيِّمِينَ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ، فِي سُهُولِ أَرِيحَا، احْتَفَلُوا بِالْفِصْحِ فِي مَسَاءِ الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ. | ١٠ |
11 And they ate of the grain of the earth unleavened and new [corn].
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي لِلْفِصْحِ أَكَلُوا مِنْ غَلَّةِ الأَرْضِ فَطِيراً وَفَرِيكاً. | ١١ |
12 In this day the manna failed, after they had eaten of the corn of the land, and the children of Israel no longer had manna: and they took the fruits of the land of the Phoenicians in that year.
| فَانْقَطَعَ الْمَنُّ عَنِ النُّزُولِ. وَمُنْذُ ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَصْبَحُوا يَعْتَمِدُونَ فِي عَيْشِهِمْ عَلَى مَحَاصِيلِ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. | ١٢ |
13 And it came to pass when Joshua was in Jericho, that he looked up with his eyes and saw a man standing before him, and [there was] a drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua drew near and said to him, Are you for us or on the side of our enemies?
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَشُوعُ قَرِيباً مِنْ أَرِيحَا تَطَلَّعَ أَمَامَهُ وَإذَا بِهِ يُشَاهِدُ رَجُلاً يَنْتَصِبُ فِي مُوَاجَهَتِهِ، شَاهِراً سَيْفَهُ بِيَدِهِ، فَاتَّجَهَ إِلَيْهِ يَشُوعُ وَسَأَلَهُ: «هَلْ أَنْتَ مِنَّا أَوْ مِنْ أَعْدَائِنَا؟» | ١٣ |
14 And he said to him, I am now come, the chief captain of the host of the Lord. And Joshua fell on his face upon the earth, and said to him, Lord, what command you your servant?
| فَأَجَابَهُ: «لا، إِنَّمَا أَنَا رَئِيسُ جُنْدِ الرَّبِّ، وَقَدْ أَقْبَلْتُ الآنَ». فَأَكَبَّ يَشُوعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ سَاجِداً وَقَالَ: «أَيُّ رِسَالَةٍ يَحْمِلُهَا سَيِّدِي إِلَى عَبْدِهِ؟» | ١٤ |
15 And the captain of the Lord's host said to Joshua, Loose your shoe off your feet, for the place whereon you now stand is holy.
| فَقَالَ رَئِيسُ جُنْدِ الرَّبِّ لِيَشُوعَ: «اخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ، لأَنَّ الْمَوْضِعَ الَّذِي أَنْتَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَيْهِ مُقَدَّسٌ». فَنَفَّذَ يَشُوعُ الأَمْرَ. | ١٥ |
