Joshua 24
1 [Many years later], Joshua summoned representatives of all the tribes of Israel. He gathered together the elders, the leaders, the judges, and the other officials at Shechem [city]. He told them to listen to what God wanted to tell them.
Yeşua İsrailin bütün qəbilələrini Şekemə topladı və İsrailin ağsaqqallarını, başçılarını, hakimlərini və məmurlarını çağırdı. Onlar Allahın hüzurunda durdular.
2 Joshua said to all of them, “This is what Yahweh, the God we Israeli people worship, is saying: ‘Long ago, your ancestors, including Abraham’s father Terah and Abraham’s younger brother Nahor, lived on the east side of the Euphrates River.
Yeşua bütün xalqa dedi: «İsrailin Allahı Rəbb belə deyir: “İbrahimin, Naxorun atası Terah və atalarınız keçmişdə Fərat çayının o biri tayında yaşayırdılar. Onlar başqa allahlara qulluq edirdilər.
3 But I took your ancestor Abraham from that land east of the Euphrates River, and I led him as he lived in various places in this land of Canaan, and I enabled him to have many descendants. First, I enabled him to have a son, Isaac.
Atanız İbrahimi Fərat çayının o biri tayından gətirib bütün Kənan torpağında gəzdirdim, nəslini çoxaldaraq ona İshaqı verdim.
4 When Isaac grew up, I enabled him to have twin sons, Jacob and Esau. I enabled Esau to live in the hilly area in Seir region, but many years later Jacob and his sons and their families went down to live in Egypt.
İshaqa Yaqubu və Esavı verdim. Esavın mülk sahibi olması üçün Seir dağını ona verdim. Yaqubla övladları isə Misirə getdilər.
5 “[Many years later], I sent Moses and his older brother Aaron to help your people, and I caused [the people of] Egypt to suffer very much because of what I did there. Then I enabled your ancestors to leave Egypt.
Musa ilə Harunu göndərib Misiri bəlalara düçar etdim və sonra sizi oradan çıxartdım.
6 When I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, they came to the Red Sea. The Egyptian army pursued them, some riding in chariots and others on horses, and they also arrived at the Red Sea.
Atalarınızı Misirdən çıxartdım, siz Qırmızı dənizə tərəf gəldiniz. Misirlilər Qırmızı dənizə qədər döyüş arabaları və süvarilərlə atalarınızı təqib etdilər.
7 Then [your ancestors] pleaded with me to help them. So he caused (darkness/a very dark cloud) to come between your ancestors and the Egyptian army, so that the Egyptian army could not see your ancestors. I separated the water in the Red Sea so that your ancestors could cross it, but when the Egyptian army tried to cross in the same way to pursue them, I caused the water to come back and cover them, and the Egyptian soldiers all drowned, as your ancestors watched and were amazed [IDM]. But after that, you lived in the desert for many years.
Onlar Rəbbə fəryad edəndə O, Misirlilərlə sizin aranızda qaranlıq yaratdı, onların üstünə dənizi gətirdi, onlar suların altında qaldılar. Misirdə etdiyim şeyləri gözünüzlə gördünüz və uzun müddət səhrada yaşadınız.
8 “Then I brought your [ancestors] to the area where the groups who were descendants of Amor lived, east of the Jordan River. They fought against you, but I enabled you to defeat them [IDM]. I [enabled you to] destroy them so that you could live in their land [IDM].
Sizi İordan çayının şərq tərəfində yaşayan Emorlular torpağına gətirdim, onlar sizinlə vuruşanda onları sizə təslim etdim, torpaqlarını isə mülk olaraq aldınız və hamısını qarşınızdan yox etdim.
9 Then, Zippor’s son Balak, the King of Moab, (decided that his army would fight against/opposed) the Israelis. He summoned Beor’s son Balaam and asked him to curse you.
Moav padşahı Sippor oğlu Balaq qalxıb İsraillilərlə vuruşdu və xəbər göndərib Beor oğlu Bilamı sizə lənət etmək üçün çağırdı.
10 But I would not do what Balaam asked, so he (blessed/said that I would do great things for) you four times, and I did not enable the army of Moab to defeat you [IDM].
Lakin Bilamı eşitmək istəmədim. O da ancaq xeyir-dua verdi. Beləcə sizi onun əlindən azad etdim.
11 “Then you all crossed the Jordan River and came to Jericho. The people of Jericho prepared to fight against you, [and the armies of] the descendants of Amor, Periz, Canaan, Heth, Girgash, Hiv, and Jebus [all prepared to do the same thing] but I enabled you to defeat [IDM] them all.
İordan çayından keçib Yerixoya gəldiniz. Yerixo adamları, Emorlular, Perizlilər, Kənanlılar, Xetlilər, Qirqaşlılar, Xivlilər, Yevuslular sizə qarşı vuruşdular, lakin onları sizə təslim etdim.
12 I am the one who caused them to panic as you advanced and enabled you to defeat them, as I had enabled you to do earlier to the two kings of the groups who were descendants of Amor. You did not defeat them by using your own bows and arrows and swords; [it was I who defeated them].
Sizin önünüzcə eşşəkarısı çıxarıb onunla Emorluların iki padşahını qarşınızdan qovdum. Bu iş sizin qılıncınızla və ox-kamanınızla olmadı.
13 So I gave you a land that you had not tilled/planted, and I gave you cities that you did not build. [Now] you live in those [cities] and you eat the grapes from the grapevines that you did not plant, and you eat olives from trees that you did not plant.’”
Üzərində işləmədiyiniz bir torpağı, tikmədiyiniz şəhərləri sizə verdim ki, orada yaşayasınız. Salmadığınız bağlardan və zeytunluqlardan yeyirsiniz”.
14 [Then Joshua said to the people], “[Because of all that] Yahweh [has done for you], revere him, and serve/worship him very faithfully. Throw away the idols that your ancestors worshiped on the east/other side of the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve only Yahweh.
Ona görə də Rəbdən qorxun, səmimiyyətlə və sədaqətlə Ona qulluq edin. Fərat çayının o biri tərəfində və Misirdə atalarınızın qulluq etdiyi allahları atın, yalnız Rəbbə qulluq edin.
15 But if you do not want to serve/worship Yahweh, you should decide today what [gods] you will serve/worship. You should decide whether you will serve/worship the gods that your ancestors who lived on the other/east side of the Euphrates River served, or whether you will serve/worship the gods that the descendants of Amor, who previously lived in the land where you are now living, [serve/worship]. But as for me and my family [MTY], we will serve/worship Yahweh!”
Əgər Rəbbə qulluq etmək gözünüzdə pisdirsə, bu gün kimə qulluq edəcəyinizi özünüz seçin. Atalarınızın qulluq etdikləri Fərat çayının o tayındakı allahlaramı, yoxsa torpaqlarında yaşadığınız Emorluların allahlarınamı qulluq edəcəksiniz? Amma mən və mənim evimdəkilər Rəbbə qulluq edəcək».
16 The Israeli people answered, “We will never quit [serving/worshiping] Yahweh! We would never [think of] [IDM] serving/worshiping other gods!
Xalq cavab verdi: «Rəbbi tərk edib başqa allahlara qulluq etmək qoy bizdən uzaq olsun!
17 It was our God, Yahweh, who brought our parents and grandparents up out of Egypt. [He rescued them] from that land where they were slaves. As he rescued them, they saw him perform great miracles. He protected them all the time when they were traveling. He protected them from all the people-groups through whose territory they traveled.
Çünki bizi və atalarımızı Misir torpağından – köləlik diyarından çıxaran, gözümüzün qarşısında bu böyük əlamətləri göstərən və getdiyimiz bu yolda, arasından keçdiyimiz bütün xalqlar arasında bizi qoruyan yalnız Allahımız Rəbdir.
18 As our forefathers advanced, Yahweh expelled the descendants of Amor and the other people-groups who lived in this land. Yahweh is our God, so [we are saying that] we also will serve/worship him.”
Rəbb bütün xalqları, bu torpaqda yaşayan Emorluları qarşımızdan qovdu. Biz də Rəbbə qulluq edəcəyik, çünki Allahımız Odur».
19 Joshua replied to the people, “[I think that] you are not able to serve/worship Yahweh, because he is a holy God. He will not forgive your sinning and rebelling [against him]. He demands that you serve/worship only him [IDM].
Yeşua xalqa dedi: «Rəbbə qulluq edə bilməzsiniz, çünki O, müqəddəs Allahdır. O, qısqanc Allahdır, qanunsuzluğunuzu və günahlarınızı bağışlamayacaq.
20 He has been good to you [in the past], but if you turn away from him and serve/worship foreign/other gods, he will turn [against you] and he will cause you to experience disasters. He will punish [IDM] you severely!”
Əgər Rəbbi tərk edib yad allahlara qulluq etsəniz, sizə yaxşılıq edən Rəbb əleyhinizə dönüb pislik edəcək və sizi məhv edəcək».
21 But the people replied to Joshua, “No, [we will not turn away from worshiping/serving Yahweh] We will serve/worship Yahweh!”
Xalq Yeşuaya dedi: «Xeyr, ancaq Rəbbə qulluq edəcəyik».
22 Then Joshua said, “You yourselves are saying that you have decided to serve/worship Yahweh.” They replied, “Yes, we are saying that.”
Yeşua xalqa dedi: «Qulluq etmək üçün Rəbbi seçdiyinizə siz özünüz şahidsiniz». Onlar «biz şahidik» dedilər.
23 Then Joshua said, “Since [you have decided] that, you must throw away all the other gods/idols that you have among you. You must also promise that you will wholeheartedly give yourselves to Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [serve/worship].”
Yeşua dedi: «Elə isə indi aranızda olan yad allahları atın, ürəyinizi İsrailin Allahı Rəbbə meyl etdirin».
24 The people replied, “We will serve/worship Yahweh, our God, and obey him.”
Xalq Yeşuaya dedi: «Allahımız Rəbbə qulluq edəcəyik və yalnız Onun sözünə qulaq asacağıq».
25 That day, Joshua established an agreement between the people and Yahweh. He wrote for them all the laws that they were required to obey.
Yeşua o gün xalqla əhd bağladı. Onlar üçün Şekemdə qanun və hökm qoydu.
26 He wrote all those laws on a scroll. He called it ‘The laws of God’. Then he [told some men to] set up a large stone there at Shechem, under the [large] oak tree near the place where [they worshiped] Yahweh.
Yeşua bu sözləri Allahın Qanun kitabına yazdı. Sonra böyük bir daş götürüb Rəbbin Müqəddəs məkanının yanında olan palıd ağacı altında yerləşdirdi.
27 He said to all the people, “Look! [It is as though] this stone has heard everything that Yahweh said to you [and that you promised Yahweh]. It will serve as a witness against you if you rebel against your God!”
Yeşua bütün xalqa dedi: «Budur, bu daş bizə qarşı şahid olacaq, çünki Rəbbin bizə dediyi bütün sözləri o eşitdi. Qoy bu daş Allahınızı inkar etməmək üçün sizə qarşı şahid olsun».
28 Then Joshua sent the people away, and all of them returned to their own areas/homes.
Bundan sonra bütün xalqı irs aldığı torpaqlara göndərdi.
29 Some time after that, Nun’s son Joshua, the faithful servant of Yahweh, died. He was 110 years old when he died.
Bu hadisələrdən sonra Rəbbin qulu Nun oğlu Yeşua yüz on yaşında vəfat etdi.
30 The Israeli people buried his body on his own property in Timnath-Serah [town] town. It is north of Gaash Mountain in the hilly area of the tribe who were descendants of Ephraim.
Onu Qaaş dağının şimalında, Efrayimin dağlıq bölgəsindəki Timnat-Serahda irs olan torpağının sahəsində dəfn etdilər.
31 The Israeli people served/worshiped Yahweh as long as Joshua was alive. After Joshua died, they continued serving/worshiping Yahweh while the elders who had experienced everything that Yahweh had done for the Israeli people were still alive.
Yeşuanın bütün ömrü boyu və ondan sonra sağ qalan, Rəbbin İsrail üçün etdiyi bütün işləri bilən ağsaqqalların ömrü boyu İsrail xalqı Rəbbə qulluq etdi.
32 Joseph’s bones, which the Israeli people had brought with them from Egypt, were also buried at Shechem. The people buried them in the piece of land that Jacob had bought long ago for 100 pieces of silver from Hamor, the father of Shechem. That piece of land was in the area that was given to the people who were descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, Joseph’s sons.
İsraillilər Misirdən çıxarkən Yusifin sümüklərini özləri ilə götürmüşdülər. Bunları Yaqubun Şekemdəki tarlasında basdırdılar. Yaqub bu tarlanı Şekemin atası Xamorun övladlarından yüz parça gümüşə satın almışdı və bu torpaq Yusif övladlarının irsi oldu.
33 Eleazar, the Supreme Priest, the son of Aaron, also died. They buried his body at Gibeah, in the area that had been given to Eleazar’s son Phinehas, in the hilly area that belonged to the people who were descendants of Ephraim.
Bundan sonra Harun oğlu Eleazar öldü. Onu Efrayimin dağlıq bölgəsində oğlu Pinxasa verilən təpədə dəfn etdilər.
