Joshua 7
1 And the sons of Israel commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, takes from the devoted thing, and the anger of YHWH burns against the sons of Israel.
| وَخَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ خِيَانَةً فِي ٱلْحَرَامِ، فَأَخَذَ عَخَانُ بْنُ كَرْمِي بْنِ زَبْدِي بْنِ زَارَحَ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا مِنَ ٱلْحَرَامِ، فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ |
2 And Joshua sends men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] near Beth-Aven, on the east of Bethel, and speaks to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the land”; and the men go up and spy Ai,
| وَأَرْسَلَ يَشُوعُ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَرِيحَا إِلَى عَايَ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ بَيْتِ آوِنَ شَرْقِيَّ بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَكَلَّمَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «ٱصْعَدُوا تَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ». فَصَعِدَ ٱلرِّجَالُ وَتَجَسَّسُوا عَايَ. | ٢ |
3 and they return to Joshua, and say to him, “Do not let all the people go up; let about two thousand men, or about three thousand men, go up, and they strike Ai; do not cause all the people to labor there; for they [are] few.”
| ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى يَشُوعَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لَا يَصْعَدْ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ، بَلْ يَصْعَدْ نَحْوُ أَلْفَيْ رَجُلٍ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ وَيَضْرِبُوا عَايَ. لَا تُكَلِّفْ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ لِأَنَّهُمْ قَلِيلُونَ». | ٣ |
4 So about three thousand men of the people go up from there, and they flee before the men of Ai,
| فَصَعِدَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ نَحْوُ ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ، وَهَرَبُوا أَمَامَ أَهْلِ عَايَ. | ٤ |
5 and the men of Ai strike about thirty-six men from them, and pursue them before the gate to Shebarim, and they strike them in Morad; and the heart of the people is melted, and becomes water.
| فَضَرَبَ مِنْهُمْ أَهْلُ عَايَ نَحْوَ سِتَّةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا، وَلَحِقُوهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلْبَابِ إِلَى شَبَارِيمَ وَضَرَبُوهُمْ فِي ٱلْمُنْحَدَرِ. فَذَابَ قَلْبُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَصَارَ مِثْلَ ٱلْمَاءِ. | ٥ |
6 And Joshua tears his garments, and falls on his face to the earth before the Ark of YHWH until the evening, he and [the] elderly of Israel, and they cause dust to go up on their head.
| فَمَزَّقَ يَشُوعُ ثِيَابَهُ وَسَقَطَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ، هُوَ وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَوَضَعُوا تُرَابًا عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ. | ٦ |
7 And Joshua says, “Aah! Lord YHWH, why have You caused this people to pass over the Jordan at all, to give us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? And oh that we had been willing—and we dwell beyond the Jordan!
| وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «آهِ يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ! لِمَاذَا عَبَّرْتَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ تَعْبِيرًا لِكَيْ تَدْفَعَنَا إِلَى يَدِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ لِيُبِيدُونَا؟ لَيْتَنَا ٱرْتَضَيْنَا وَسَكَنَّا فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | ٧ |
8 Oh, Lord, what do I say, after that Israel has turned the neck before its enemies?
| أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدُ: مَاذَا أَقُولُ بَعْدَمَا حَوَّلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ قَفَاهُ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِ؟ | ٨ |
9 And the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land hear, and have come around against us, and cut off our name from the earth; and what do You do for Your great Name?”
| فَيَسْمَعُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَجَمِيعُ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيُحِيطُونَ بِنَا وَيَقْرِضُونَ ٱسْمَنَا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَمَاذَا تَصْنَعُ لِٱسْمِكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ؟». | ٩ |
10 And YHWH says to Joshua, “Rise, for you—why this—[that] you [are] falling on your face?
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «قُمْ! لِمَاذَا أَنْتَ سَاقِطٌ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ؟ | ١٠ |
11 Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them, and also taken of the devoted thing, and also stolen, and also deceived, and also put [it] among their vessels,
| قَدْ أَخْطَأَ إِسْرَائِيلُ، بَلْ تَعَدَّوْا عَهْدِي ٱلَّذِي أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ، بَلْ أَخَذُوا مِنَ ٱلْحَرَامِ، بَلْ سَرَقُوا، بَلْ أَنْكَرُوا، بَلْ وَضَعُوا فِي أَمْتِعَتِهِمْ. | ١١ |
12 and the sons of Israel have not been able to stand before their enemies; they turn the neck before their enemies, for they have become a devoted thing; I do not add to be with you—if you do not destroy the devoted thing from your midst.
| فَلَمْ يَتَمَكَّنْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلثُّبُوتِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ. يُدِيرُونَ قَفَاهُمْ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ مَحْرُومُونَ، وَلَا أَعُودُ أَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ إِنْ لَمْ تُبِيدُوا ٱلْحَرَامَ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ. | ١٢ |
13 Rise, sanctify the people, and you have said, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow; for thus said YHWH, God of Israel: A devoted thing [is] in your midst, O Israel, you are not able to stand before your enemies until your turning aside the devoted thing from your midst;
| قُمْ قَدِّسِ ٱلشَّعْبَ وَقُلْ: تَقَدَّسُوا لِلْغَدِ. لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: فِي وَسَطِكَ حَرَامٌ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، فَلَا تَتَمَكَّنُ لِلثُّبُوتِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكَ حَتَّى تَنْزِعُوا ٱلْحَرَامَ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ. | ١٣ |
14 and you have been brought near in the morning by your tribes, and it has been [that] the tribe which YHWH captures draws near by families, and the family which YHWH captures draws near by households, and the household which YHWH captures draws near by men;
| فَتَتَقَدَّمُونَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ بِأَسْبَاطِكُمْ، وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلسِّبْطَ ٱلَّذِي يَأْخُذُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ يَتَقَدَّمُ بِعَشَائِرِهِ، وَٱلْعَشِيرَةُ ٱلَّتِي يَأْخُذُهَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَتَقَدَّمُ بِبُيُوتِهَا، وَٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي يَأْخُذُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ يَتَقَدَّمُ بِرِجَالِهِ. | ١٤ |
15 and it has been, he who is captured with the devoted thing is burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of YHWH, and because he has done folly in Israel.”
| وَيَكُونُ ٱلْمَأْخُوذُ بِٱلْحَرَامِ يُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ هُوَ وَكُلُّ مَا لَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ تَعَدَّى عَهْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلِأَنَّهُ عَمِلَ قَبَاحَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١٥ |
16 And Joshua rises early in the morning, and brings Israel near by its tribes, and the tribe of Judah is captured;
| فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ وَقَدَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَسْبَاطِهِ، فَأُخِذَ سِبْطُ يَهُوذَا. | ١٦ |
17 and he brings the family of Judah near, and he captures the family of the Zerahite; and he brings the family of the Zerahite near by men, and Zabdi is captured;
| ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ قَبِيلَةَ يَهُوذَا فَأُخِذَتْ عَشِيرَةُ ٱلزَّارَحِيِّينَ. ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ عَشِيرَةَ ٱلزَّارَحِيِّينَ بِرِجَالِهِمْ فَأُخِذَ زَبْدِي. | ١٧ |
18 and he brings his household near by men, and Achan—son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah—is captured.
| فَقَدَّمَ بَيْتَهُ بِرِجَالِهِ فَأُخِذَ عَخَانُ بْنُ كَرْمِي بْنِ زَبْدِي بْنِ زَارَحَ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٨ |
19 And Joshua says to Achan, “My son, please give glory to YHWH, God of Israel, and give thanks to Him, and now declare to me what you have done—do not hide [it] from me.”
| فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِعَخَانَ: «يَا ٱبْنِي، أَعْطِ ٱلْآنَ مَجْدًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱعْتَرِفْ لَهُ وَأَخْبِرْنِي ٱلْآنَ مَاذَا عَمِلْتَ. لَا تُخْفِ عَنِّي». | ١٩ |
20 And Achan answers Joshua and says, “Truly I have sinned against YHWH, God of Israel, and I have done thus and thus;
| فَأَجَابَ عَخَانُ يَشُوعَ وَقَالَ: «حَقًّا إِنِّي قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَصَنَعْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا. | ٢٠ |
21 and I see among the spoil a good robe of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and one wedge of gold, whose weight [is] fifty shekels, and I desire them, and take them; and behold, they [are] hid in the earth, in the midst of my tent, and the silver [is] under it.”
| رَأَيْتُ فِي ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ رِدَاءً شِنْعَارِيًّا نَفِيسًا، وَمِئَتَيْ شَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ، وَلِسَانَ ذَهَبٍ وَزْنُهُ خَمْسُونَ شَاقِلًا، فَٱشْتَهَيْتُهَا وَأَخَذْتُهَا. وَهَا هِيَ مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي وَسَطِ خَيْمَتِي، وَٱلْفِضَّةُ تَحْتَهَا». | ٢١ |
22 And Joshua sends messengers, and they run to the tent, and behold, it is hidden in his tent, and the silver [is] under it;
| فَأَرْسَلَ يَشُوعُ رُسُلًا فَرَكَضُوا إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَإِذَا هِيَ مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ وَٱلْفِضَّةُ تَحْتَهَا. | ٢٢ |
23 and they take them out of the midst of the tent, and bring them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and pour them out before YHWH.
| فَأَخَذُوهَا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَأَتَوْا بِهَا إِلَى يَشُوعَ وَإِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَسَطُوهَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٣ |
24 And Joshua takes Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, and the robe, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his donkey, and his flock, and his tent, and all that he has, and all Israel with him, and they brought them up [to] the Valley of Achor.
| فَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ عَخَانَ بْنَ زَارَحَ وَٱلْفِضَّةَ وَٱلرِّدَاءَ وَلِسَانَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَبَنِيهِ وَبَنَاتِهِ وَبَقَرَهُ وَحَمِيرَهُ وَغَنَمَهُ وَخَيْمَتَهُ وَكُلَّ مَا لَهُ، وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ، وَصَعِدُوا بِهِمْ إِلَى وَادِي عَخُورَ. | ٢٤ |
25 And Joshua says, “Why have you troubled us? YHWH troubles you this day!” And all Israel cast stone at him, and they burn them with fire, and they stone them with stones,
| فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «كَيْفَ كَدَّرْتَنَا؟ يُكَدِّرُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ!». فَرَجَمَهُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ وَأَحْرَقُوهُمْ بِٱلنَّارِ وَرَمَوْهُمْ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ، | ٢٥ |
26 and they raise up a great heap of stones over him to this day, and YHWH turns back from the heat of His anger, therefore [one] has called the name of that place “Valley of Achor” until this day.
| وَأَقَامُوا فَوْقَهُ رُجْمَةَ حِجَارَةٍ عَظِيمَةً إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. فَرَجَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِهِ. وَلِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «وَادِيَ عَخُورَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢٦ |
