< یوشع 5 >
در سمت غربی رود اردن، اموریها و در امتداد ساحل دریای مدیترانه کنعانیها سکونت داشتند. پادشاهان آنها وقتی شنیدند که خداوند به خاطر بنیاسرائیل راه خشکی از میان رود اردن پدید آورده تا از آن عبور کنند، سخت ترسیدند و جرأت مقابله با اسرائیل را از دست دادند. | 1 |
And it came to pass when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
در این موقع خداوند به یوشع فرمود: «کاردها از سنگ چخماق بساز و این نسل دوم بنیاسرائیل را ختنه کن.» | 2 |
At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, Make thee stone-knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
پس یوشع کاردها از سنگ چخماق ساخت و همۀ مردان اسرائیل را در «جِبعه هاعَرَلوت» ختنه کرد. | 3 |
And Joshua made him stone-knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of Araloth.
دلیل این کار این بود که تمام مردانی که به سن جنگیدن رسیده بودند و موقع بیرون آمدن از مصر ختنه شده بودند، همگی در بیابان مرده بودند و پسران آنها که پس از خروج از مصر متولد شده بودند، ختنه نشده بودند. | 4 |
And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised [them]: all the people that had come out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt.
For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt, [them] had they not circumcised.
قوم اسرائیل چهل سال در بیابان سرگردان بودند تا اینکه تمام مردانی که هنگام بیرون آمدن از مصر به سن جنگیدن رسیده بودند، مردند. آنها چون خداوند را اطاعت نکردند، او هم قسم خورد که نگذارد وارد سرزمینی شوند که وعدهٔ آن را به اجدادشان داده بود زمینی که شیر و عسل در آن جاری است. | 6 |
For the children of Israel had walked forty years in the wilderness, till the whole nation of men of war had perished who had come out of Egypt, who had not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah; to whom Jehovah had sworn that he would not show them the land which Jehovah had sworn unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
پس یوشع پسرانی را که بزرگ شده بودند و میبایست جای پدران خود را بگیرند، ختنه کرد. | 7 |
And their sons [whom] he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
پس از انجام عمل ختنه، همه در اردوگاه به استراحت پرداختند تا بهبود یابند. | 8 |
And it came to pass when the whole nation had finished being circumcised, that they abode in their place in the camp, till they were whole.
سپس خداوند به یوشع فرمود: «امروز ننگ مصر را از روی شما برداشتم.» جایی که اسرائیلیها ختنه شدند، جلجال نامیده شد و تا به امروز به همان نام باقی است. | 9 |
And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And the name of the place was called Gilgal to this day.
هنگامی که قوم اسرائیل در جلجال واقع در دشت اریحا اردو زده بودند، شب چهاردهم ماه، عید پِسَح را جشن گرفتند. | 10 |
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and held the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the plains of Jericho.
روز بعد به خوردن محصولات سرزمینی که وارد آن شده بودند پرداختند و از گندم آنجا نان فطیر پختند. | 11 |
And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened loaves, and roasted [corn] on that same day.
پس از آن، نان آسمانی که به «مَنّا» معروف بود متوقف گردید و دیگر هرگز دیده نشد! قوم اسرائیل پس از آن برای خوراک، از محصولات سرزمین کنعان استفاده میکردند. | 12 |
And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they had eaten of the old corn of the land; and there was no more manna for the children of Israel; and they ate of the produce of the land of Canaan that year.
روزی یوشع که به شهر اریحا نزدیک شده بود، چشمش به مردی شمشیر به دست افتاد. یوشع به سوی او رفت و پرسید: «دوست هستی یا دشمن؟» | 13 |
And it came to pass when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there stood a man before him with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went to him, and said to him: Art thou for us, or for our enemies?
آن مرد به یوشع گفت: «من سردار لشکر خداوند هستم.» یوشع روی بر زمین نهاد و سجده کرده، گفت: «هر امری داری به بندهات بفرما.» | 14 |
And he said, No; for [as] captain of the army of Jehovah am I now come. Then Joshua fell upon his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
او به یوشع گفت: «کفشهایت را درآور، زیرا جایی که ایستادهای مقدّس است.» یوشع اطاعت کرد. | 15 |
And the captain of Jehovah's army said to Joshua, Loose thy sandal from off thy foot: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
