Joshua 7
1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted things; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. Therefore the LORD's anger burned against the children of Israel.
| وَلَكِنَّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ ارْتَكَبُوا خِيَانَةً، إِذْ أَخَذَ عَخَانُ بْنُ كَرْمِي بْنِ زَبْدِي بْنِ زَارَحَ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا مِمَّا هُوَ مُخَصَّصٌ لِلرَّبِّ، فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ |
2 Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, "Go up and spy out the land." The men went up and spied out Ai.
| وَبَعَثَ يَشُوعُ بَعْضَ رِجَالِهِ مِنْ أَرِيحَا إِلَى عَايَ الْوَاقِعَةِ شَرْقِيَّ بَيْتِ إِيلَ بِقُرْبِ بَيْتِ آوِنَ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَتَجَسَّسُوا الأَرْضَ. فَذَهَبُوا | ٢ |
3 They returned to Joshua, and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Do not make all the people to toil there, for there are only a few of them."
| ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى يَشُوعَ قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ أَهْلَ عَايَ قَلِيلُو الْعَدَدِ، فَلا تُوَجِّهْ كُلَّ الْجَيْشِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ، بَلْ أَرْسِلْ نَحْوَ أَلْفَيْ رَجُلٍ أَوْ ثَلاثَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ فَقَطْ». | ٣ |
4 So about three thousand men of the people went up there, and they fled before the men of Ai.
| فَصَعِدَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ نَحْوُ ثَلاثَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ، إلّا أَنَّهُمْ هُزِمُوا أَمَامَ أَهْلِ عَايَ، | ٤ |
5 The men of Ai struck about thirty-six men of them, and they chased them from before the gate even to the Shebarim, and struck them at the descent. The hearts of the people melted, and became like water.
| وَقَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ أَهْلُ عَايَ نَحْوَ سِتَّةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ رَجُلاً، وَتَعَقَّبُوهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى شَبَارِيمَ وَكَسَرُوهُمْ عِنْدَ الْمُنْحَدَرِ. فَدَبَّ الرُّعْبُ فِي قُلُوبِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٥ |
6 Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.
| فَمَزَّقَ يَشُوعُ ثِيَابَهُ وَأَكَبَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ، هُوَ وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَهَالُوا التُّرَابَ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ. | ٦ |
7 Joshua said, "Alas, Lord GOD, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? I wish that we had been content and lived beyond the Jordan.
| وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «آهِ يَا سَيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، لِمَاذَا جَعَلْتَ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ يَجْتَازُ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ لِكَيْ تَدْفَعَنَا إِلَى يَدِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ حَتَّى يُبِيدُونَا؟ لَيْتَنَا كُنَّا قَنَعْنَا وَأَقَمْنَا شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ. | ٧ |
8 Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel has turned their backs before their enemies.
| آهِ يَا سَيِّدُ، مَاذَا أَقُولُ الآنَ بَعْدَ أَنْ وَلَّى الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ الأَدْبَارَ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ. | ٨ |
9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. What will you do for your great name?"
| إِذْ يَبْلُغُ هَذَا الْخَبَرُ مَسَامِعَ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَسَائِرِ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ، فَيُحِيطُونَ بِنَا وَيُزِيلُونَنَا مِنَ الْوُجُودِ! وَمَاذَا تَصْنَعُ لاِسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ؟» | ٩ |
10 The LORD said to Joshua, "Get up. Why are you fallen on your face like that?
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «قُمْ، لِمَاذَا أَنْتَ سَاقِطٌ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ؟ | ١٠ |
11 Israel has sinned, and they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. And they have even taken of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and also deceived. They have even put it among their own stuff.
| لَقَدِ ارْتَكَبَ إِسْرَائِيلُ خَطِيئَةً، بَلْ تَعَدَّوْا عَلَى عَهْدِي الَّذِي أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ، بَلْ أَخَذُوا مِمَّا حَرَّمْتُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَسَرَقُوا وَأَنْكَرُوا، بَلْ خَبَّأُوا فِي أَمْتِعَتِهِمْ. | ١١ |
12 Therefore the children of Israel can't stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will not be with you any more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.
| لِهَذَا عَجَزَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ الثَّبَاتِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ، فَوَلَّوْا أَمَامَهُمُ الأَدْبَارَ، لأَنَّهُمْ هَالِكُونَ إِذْ لَنْ أَعُودَ أَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ مَا لَمْ تَسْتَأْصِلُوا الْحَرَامَ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ، | ١٢ |
13 Get up. Sanctify the people, and say, 'Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, "There is a devoted thing in the midst of you, Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted thing from among you."
| قُمْ، وَاطْلُبْ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّسُوا لِيَوْمِ غَدٍ، لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: فِي وَسَطِكَ حَرَامٌ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، وَلَنْ تَتَمَكَّنُوا مِنْ هَزِيمَةِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْصِلُوا الْحَرَامَ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ. | ١٣ |
14 In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes. It shall be that the tribe which the LORD selects shall come near by families. The family which the LORD selects shall come near by households. The household which the LORD selects shall come near man by man.
| فَلْتَتَقَدَّمْ أَسْبَاطُكُمْ فِي يَوْمِ غَدٍ، سِبْطٌ تِلْوَ سِبْطٍ، وَالسِّبْطُ الَّذِي يُشِيرُ إِلَيْهِ الرَّبُّ يَمْثُلُ بِعَشَائِرِهِ وَالْعَشِيرَةُ الَّتِي يُعَيِّنُهَا الرَّبُّ تَتَقَدَّمُ بِبُيُوتِهَا، وَالْبَيْتُ الَّذِي يُحَدِّدُهُ الرَّبُّ يَتَقَدَّمُ بِرِجَالِهِ. | ١٤ |
15 It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.'"
| وَالَّذِي تَثْبُتُ عَلَيْهِ جَرِيمَةُ السَّرِقَةِ مِمَّا هُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ، يُحْرَقُ بِالنَّارِ هُوَ وَكُلُّ مَالَهُ، لأَنَّهُ نَقَضَ عَهْدَ الرَّبِّ، وَارْتَكَبَ قَبَاحَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١٥ |
16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning and brought Israel near by their tribes. The tribe of Judah was selected.
| فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، وَعَرَضَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ أَسْبَاطَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَشَارَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا، | ١٦ |
17 He brought near the families of Judah; and he selected the family of the Zerahites. He brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was selected.
| ثُمَّ عَرَضَ سِبْطَ يَهُوذَا، فَعَيَّنَ الرَّبُّ عَشِيرَةَ الزَّارَحِيِّينَ، ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ عَشِيرَةَ الزَّارَحِيِّينَ بِرِجَالِهَا فَأَشَارَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى زَبْدِي، | ١٧ |
18 He brought near his household man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected.
| فَعَرَضَ بَيْتَهُ بِرِجَالِهِ، فَحَدَّدَ الرَّبُّ عَخَانَ بْنَ كَرْمِي بْنِ زَبْدِي بْنِ زَارَحَ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٨ |
19 Joshua said to Achan, "My son, please give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make confession to him. Tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from me."
| فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِعَخَانَ: «يَا ابْنِي، مَجِّدِ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاعْتَرِفْ لَهُ، وَأَخْبِرْنِي الآنَ مَاذَا جَنَيْتَ؟ لَا تُخْفِ عَنِّي شَيْئاً». | ١٩ |
20 Achan answered Joshua, and said, "I have truly sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel, and this is what I have done.
| فَأَجَابَ عَخَانُ: «حَقّاً إِنِّي أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَجَنَيْتُ هَذَا الأَمْرَ. | ٢٠ |
21 When I saw among the spoil a beautiful garment from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them. Look, they are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, with the silver under it."
| رَأَيْتُ بَيْنَ الْغَنَائِمِ رِدَاءً شِنْعَارِيًّا نَفِيساً، وَمِئَتَيْ شَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ (نَحْوَ كِيلُو جِرَامَيْنِ وَنِصْفٍ)، وَسَبِيكَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَزْنُهَا خَمْسُونَ شَاقِلاً (نَحْوَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ جِرَامٍ)، فَاشْتَهَيْتُهَا وَأَخَذْتُهَا. وَهَا هِيَ مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي الأَرْضِ فِي وَسَطِ خَيْمَتِي، وَالْفِضَّةُ تَحْتَهَا». | ٢١ |
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. Look, it was hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.
| فَأَرْسَلَ يَشُوعُ رُسُلاً فَهُرِعُوا إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ حَيْثُ عَثَرُوا عَلَيْهَا مَطْمُورَةً فِيهَا، وَالْفِضَّةُ تَحْتَهَا، | ٢٢ |
23 They took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel. They laid them down before the LORD.
| فَأَخْرَجُوهَا مِنْ وَسَطِ الْخَيْمَةِ وَحَمَلُوهَا إِلَى يَشُوعَ وَإِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَرَضُوهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٣ |
24 Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up to the Valley of Achor.
| فَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَخَانَ بْنَ زَارَحَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَالرِّدَاءَ وَسَبِيكَةَ الذَّهَبِ، وَأَبْنَاءَهُ وَبَنَاتِهِ وَبَقَرَهُ وَحَمِيرَهُ وَغَنَمَهُ وَخَيْمَتَهُ وَكُلَّ مَالَهُ، وَذَهَبُوا بِهِمْ إِلَى وَادِي عَخُورَ. | ٢٤ |
25 Joshua said, "Why have you troubled us? The LORD will trouble you this day." All Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire and stoned them with stones.
| وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «لِمَاذَا جَلَبْتَ عَلَيْنَا هَذِهِ الْكَارِثَةَ؟ لِتَحِلَّ بِكَ الْيَوْمَ الْفَوَاجِعُ». فَرَجَمَهُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالْحِجَارَةِ مَعَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَأَحْرَقُوهُمْ بِالنَّارِ، | ٢٥ |
26 They raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. The LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called "The Valley of Achor" to this day.
| وَأَقَامُوا فَوْقَهُ كَوْمَةً كَبِيرَةً مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ، مَا بَرِحَتْ بَاقِيَةً إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. فَهَدَأَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ وَلِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ اسْمُ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ وَادِي عَخُورَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: وَادِي الإِزْعَاجِ) إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٢٦ |
