JOSHUA 5

يشوع 5

1  So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we* had crossed over, that their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.

1  وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ جَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ غَرْباً, وَجَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ, أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ يَبَّسَ مِيَاهَ الأُرْدُنِّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى عَبَرْنَا, ذَابَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَلَمْ تَبْقَ فِيهِمْ رُوحٌ بَعْدُ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

2  At that time the Lord said to Joshua, "Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time."

2  فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «اصْنَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ سَكَاكِينَ مِنْ صَوَّانٍ, وَعُدْ فَاخْتُنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَانِيَةً».

3  So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. [1]

3  فَصَنَعَ يَشُوعُ سَكَاكِينَ مِنْ صَوَّانٍ وَخَتَنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تَلِّ الْقُلَفِ.

4  And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt.

4  وَهَذَا هُوَ سَبَبُ خَتْنِ يَشُوعَ إِيَّاهُمْ: أَنَّ جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ الْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ مِصْرَ, الذُّكُورَِ, جَمِيعَِ رِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ, مَاتُوا فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

5  For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.

5  لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا كَانُوا مَخْتُونِينَ. وَأَمَّا جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا فِي الْقَفْرِ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ فَلَمْ يُخْتَنُوا.

6  For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord--to whom the Lord swore that He would not show them the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, "a land flowing with milk and honey." [2]

6  لأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سَارُوا أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي الْقَفْرِ حَتَّى فَنِيَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ رِجَالُ الْحَرْبِ الْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ مِصْرَ, الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِ الرَّبِّ, الَّذِينَ حَلَفَ الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُرِيهِمِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي حَلَفَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا إِيَّاهَا, الأَرْضَ الَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً.

7  Then Joshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

7  وَأَمَّا بَنُوهُمْ فَأَقَامَهُمْ مَكَانَهُمْ. فَإِيَّاهُمْ خَتَنَ يَشُوعُ لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قُلْفاً, إِذْ لَمْ يَخْتِنُوهُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ.

8  So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp till they were healed.

8  وَكَانَ بَعْدَمَا انْتَهَى جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ مِنَ الاِخْتِتَانِ أَنَّهُمْ أَقَامُوا فِي أَمَاكِنِهِمْ فِي الْمَحَلَّةِ حَتَّى بَرِئُوا.

9  Then the Lord said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal [3] to this day.

9  وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «الْيَوْمَ قَدْ دَحْرَجْتُ عَنْكُمْ عَارَ مِصْرَ». فَدُعِيَ اسْمُ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ «الْجِلْجَالَ» إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

10  Now the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho.

10  فَحَلَّ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ, وَعَمِلُوا الْفِصْحَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ مَسَاءً فِي عَرَبَاتِ أَرِيحَا.

11  And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and parched grain, on the very same day.

11  وَأَكَلُوا مِنْ غَلَّةِ الأَرْضِ فِي الْغَدِ بَعْدَ الْفِصْحِ فَطِيراً وَفَرِيكاً فِي نَفْسِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.

12  Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.

12  وَانْقَطَعَ الْمَنُّ فِي الْغَدِ عِنْدَ أَكْلِهِمْ مِنْ غَلَّةِ الأَرْضِ, وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مَنٌّ. فَأَكَلُوا مِنْ مَحْصُولِ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ.

13  And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "Are You for us or for our adversaries?"

13  وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَشُوعُ عِنْدَ أَرِيحَا أَنَّهُ رَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَظَرَ, وَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ وَاقِفٍ قُبَالَتَهُ, وَسَيْفُهُ مَسْلُولٌ بِيَدِهِ. فَسَارَ يَشُوعُ إِلَيْهِ وَسَأَلَهُ: «هَلْ لَنَا أَنْتَ أَوْ لأَعْدَائِنَا؟»

14  So He said, "No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?"

14  فَقَالَ: «كَلاَّ, بَلْ أَنَا رَئِيسُ جُنْدِ الرَّبِّ. الآنَ أَتَيْتُ». فَسَقَطَ يَشُوعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ, وَقَالَ لَهُ: «بِمَاذَا يُكَلِّمُ سَيِّدِي عَبْدَهُ؟»

15  Then the Commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, "Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so.

15  فَقَالَ رَئِيسُ جُنْدِ الرَّبِّ لِيَشُوعَ: «اخْلَعْ نَعْلَكَ مِنْ رِجْلِكَ, لأَنَّ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي أَنْتَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَيْهِ هُوَ مُقَدَّسٌ». فَفَعَلَ يَشُوعُ كَذَلِكَ.
