Joshua 1

1 Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of YHWH, that YHWH spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying,

١ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ مُوسَى عَبْدِ الرَّبِّ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونٍ، خَادِمِ مُوسَى:

2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I give to them, even to the children of Israel.

٢ «وَالآنَ وَقَدْ مَاتَ مُوسَى عَبْدِي، قُمْ وَاعْبُرْ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ هَذَا، أَنْتَ وَهَذَا الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنَا وَاهِبُهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

3 I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.

٣ كُلُّ مَوْضِعٍ تَطَؤُهُ بُطُونُ أَقْدَامِكُمْ أَهَبُهُ لَكُمْ، كَمَا وَعَدْتُ مُوسَى،

4 From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Perath, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.

٤ فَتَمْتَدُّ حُدُودُكُمْ مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ النَّقَبِ فِي الْجَنُوبِ إِلَى جِبَالِ لُبْنَانَ فِي الشِّمَالِ، وَمِنَ الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ فِي الْغَرْبِ إِلَى نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ فِي الشَّرْقِ، بِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ بِلادُ الْحِثِّيِّينَ.

5 No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.

٥ وَلَنْ يَقْدِرَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُقَاوِمَكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ، لأَنِّي سَأَكُونُ مَعَكَ كَمَا كُنْتُ مَعَ مُوسَى. لَنْ أُهْمِلَكَ وَلَنْ أَتْرُكَكَ.

6 Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

٦ تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي سَتُوَزِّعُ عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي حَلَفْتُ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لَهُمْ.

7 Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.

٧ كُنْ شَدِيدَ الْبَأْسِ ثَابِتَ الْقَلْبِ، وَلْتُطِعْ كُلَّ حَرْفٍ مِنْ حُرُوفِ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتِي أَمَرَكَ بِها مُوسَى عَبْدِي. لَا تَحِدْ عَنْهَا يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً، لِكَيْ تُفْلِحَ حَيْثُمَا تَتَوَجَّهُ.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

٨ وَاظِبْ عَلَى تَرْدِيدِ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَتَأَمَّلْ فِيهَا لَيْلَ نَهَارَ لِتُمَارِسَهَا بِحِرْصٍ بِمُوْجِبِ مَا وَرَدَ فِيهَا فَيُحَالِفَكَ النَّجَاحُ وَالتَّوْفِيقُ.

9 Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed: for YHWH your God is with you wherever you go.

٩ أَلَمْ آمُرْكَ؟ إِذَنْ تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لَا تَرْهَبْ ولا تَجْزَعْ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مَعَكَ حَيْثُمَا تَتَوَجَّهُ».

10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

١٠ فَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ عُرَفَاءَ الشَّعْبِ أَنْ

11 "Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, 'Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which YHWH your God gives you to possess it.'"

١١ يَجُولُوا فِي وَسَطِ الْمُخَيَّمِ وَيَأْمُرُوا الشَّعْبَ أَنْ يُجَهِّزُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ طَعَاماً لأَنَّهُمْ بَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَعْبُرُونَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ لِيَدْخُلُوا لاِمْتِلاكِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ لَهُمْ لِيَرِثُوهَا.

12 Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,

١٢ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْجَادِيِّينَ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى:

13 "Remember the word which Moses the servant of YHWH commanded you, saying, 'YHWH your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.

١٣ «اُذْكُرُوا مَا أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهِ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: لَقَدْ أَرَاحَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ وَأَعْطَاكُمْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ.

14 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them

١٤ فَلْتَمْكُثْ نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي قَسَمَهَا لَكُمْ مُوسَى وَرَاءَ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، كُلُّ أَبْطَالِ الْحَرْبِ الأَقْوِيَاءِ، فَتَعْبُرُونَ مُدَجَّجِينَ بِالسِّلاحِ أَمَامَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ، لِتُعِينُوهُمْ،

15 until YHWH has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which YHWH your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of YHWH gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.'"

١٥ حَتَّى يُرِيحَ الرَّبُّ إِخْوَتَكُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ وَيَمْتَلِكُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَهُمْ ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِيرَاثِكُمُ الَّتِي قَسَمَهَا لَكُمْ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ فِي مَا وَرَاءَ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ شَرْقاً وَتَمْتَلِكُونَهَا».

16 They answered Joshua, saying, "All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

١٦ فَأَجَابُوا يَشُوعَ: «كُلُّ مَا أَمَرْتَنَا بِهِ نُنَفِّذُهُ، وَحَيْثُمَا تُرْسِلْنَا نَذْهَبْ.

17 Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may YHWH your God be with you, as he was with Moses.

١٧ وَكَمَا أَطَعْنَا مُوسَى نُطِيعُكَ، وَلْيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مَعَكَ كَمَا كَانَ مَعَ مُوسَى.

18 Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn't listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage."

١٨ وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَعْصَى أَمْرَكَ وَلا يُطِيعُ كَلامَكَ يَكُونُ الْقَتْلُ جَزَاءَهُ. إِنَّمَا تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ».
