يَشُوع 10
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَدُونِي صَادَقَ مَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَايَ وَحَرَّمَهَا. كَمَا فَعَلَ بِأَرِيحَا وَمَلِكِهَا فَعَلَ بِعَايٍ وَمَلِكِهَا، وَأَنَّ سُكَّانَ جِبْعُونَ قَدْ صَالَحُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَانُوا فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، | ١ 1 |
Later, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua’s army had captured Ai [town] and had destroyed everything in the town. He heard that they had done to the people of Ai and to their king the same thing that they had done to the people of Jericho and their king. He also heard that the people of Gibeon [city] had made a peace treaty with the Israeli people, and that the people of Gibeon were now living near the Israelis and being protected by them.
| خَافَ جِدًّا، لِأَنَّ جِبْعُونَ مَدِينَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ كَإِحْدَى ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْمَلَكِيَّةِ، وَهِيَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ عَايٍ، وَكُلُّ رِجَالِهَا جَبَابِرَةٌ. | ٢ 2 |
Because of that, he and the people whom he ruled became very afraid, because Gibeon was an important city, like the other cities that had kings. And [even though] Gibeon was a larger city than Ai and all its soldiers were good fighters, [they thought Joshua’s army might defeat them].
| فَأَرْسَلَ أَدُونِي صَادَقَ مَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى هُوهَامَ مَلِكِ حَبْرُونَ، وَفِرْآمَ مَلِكِ يَرْمُوتَ، وَيَافِيعَ مَلِكِ لَخِيشَ، وَدَبِيرَ مَلِكِ عَجْلُونَ يَقُولُ: | ٣ 3 |
So King Adonizedek sent a message to Hosham the king of Hebron [city], to Piram the king of Jarmuth [city], to Jarmuth the king of Lachish [city], and to Debir the king of Eglon [city].
| «ٱصْعَدُوا إِلَيَّ وَأَعِينُونِي، فَنَضْرِبَ جِبْعُونَ لِأَنَّهَا صَالَحَتْ يَشُوعَ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٤ 4 |
In the message he said, “Please come up with your armies and help me to attack Gibeon, because the people of Gibeon have made a peace treaty with Joshua and the Israelis.”
| فَٱجْتَمَعَ مُلُوكُ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلْخَمْسَةُ: مَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَمَلِكُ حَبْرُونَ، وَمَلِكُ يَرْمُوتَ، وَمَلِكُ لَخِيشَ، وَمَلِكُ عَجْلُونَ، وَصَعِدُوا هُمْ وَكُلُّ جُيُوشِهِمْ وَنَزَلُوا عَلَى جِبْعُونَ وَحَارَبُوهَا. | ٥ 5 |
So those five kings who ruled all the groups who were descendants of Amor—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Debir—came up with all of their soldiers and surrounded the city. Then they prepared to attack it.
| فَأَرْسَلَ أَهْلُ جِبْعُونَ إِلَى يَشُوعَ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ يَقُولُونَ: «لَا تُرْخِ يَدَيْكَ عَنْ عَبِيدِكَ. ٱصْعَدْ إِلَيْنَا عَاجِلًا وَخَلِّصْنَا وَأَعِنَّا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْنَا جَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ». | ٦ 6 |
So the people of Gibeon sent a message to Joshua while he was in the camp at Gilgal. They said, “We are your servants. So do not forsake us. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because the kings of all of the groups descended from Amor and their armies have joined their forces and have come from the hilly area to attack us!”
| فَصَعِدَ يَشُوعُ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ مَعَهُ وَكُلُّ جَبَابِرَةِ ٱلْبَأْسِ. | ٧ 7 |
So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «لَا تَخَفْهُمْ، لِأَنِّي بِيَدِكَ قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُهُمْ. لَا يَقِفُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ بِوَجْهِكَ». | ٨ 8 |
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of those armies! I will enable your army to defeat them [IDM]. None of them will be able to (resist/fight and defeat) your army.”
| فَأَتَى إِلَيْهِمْ يَشُوعُ بَغْتَةً. صَعِدَ ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. | ٩ 9 |
Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
| فَأَزْعَجَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَضَرَبَهُمْ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً فِي جِبْعُونَ، وَطَرَدَهُمْ فِي طَرِيقِ عَقَبَةِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ، وَضَرَبَهُمْ إِلَى عَزِيقَةَ وَإِلَى مَقِّيدَةَ. | ١٠ 10 |
They attacked their enemies before anyone knew that they had come. Yahweh caused their enemies to (become very confused/start running in all directions) when they saw the Israeli army. As a result, the Israeli army defeated them very severely at Gibeon [and killed many of them]. The rest of them fled along the road that goes up to Beth-Horon. But the Israeli army pursued them and killed them all along the road that goes to Azekah and Makkedah towns.
| وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ هَارِبُونَ مِنْ أَمَامِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهُمْ فِي مُنْحَدَرِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ، رَمَاهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِحِجَارَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى عَزِيقَةَ فَمَاتُوا. وَٱلَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِحِجَارَةِ ٱلْبَرَدِ هُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١١ 11 |
As they fled in front of the Israeli army, Yahweh threw down huge hailstones from the sky. As a result, more of them died from hailstones falling on them than died as a result of the Israeli army killing them with swords.
| حِينَئِذٍ كَلَّمَ يَشُوعُ ٱلرَّبَّ، يَوْمَ أَسْلَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقَالَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «يَا شَمْسُ دُومِي عَلَى جِبْعُونَ، وَيَا قَمَرُ عَلَى وَادِي أَيَّلُونَ». | ١٢ 12 |
On the day that Yahweh enabled the Israeli army to defeat the groups who were descendants of Amor, Joshua said to Yahweh while the Israeli people were listening, “Yahweh, cause the sun to stand still over Gibeon, and cause the moon to not move when it is over Aijalon Valley.”
| فَدَامَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَوَقَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ حَتَّى ٱنْتَقَمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ. أَلَيْسَ هَذَا مَكْتُوبًا فِي سِفْرِ يَاشَرَ؟ فَوَقَفَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ فِي كَبِدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَلَمْ تَعْجَلْ لِلْغُرُوبِ نَحْوَ يَوْمٍ كَامِلٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
And that is what happened. The sun stood still, and the moon did not move, until the Israeli army defeated their enemies. That is what has been written in the book that Jashar wrote. The sun stopped while it was in the middle of the sky, and did not (set/go down) for about a whole day.
| وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ سَمِعَ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ صَوْتَ إِنْسَانٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ حَارَبَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٤ 14 |
On that day Yahweh did a great miracle that someone asked him to do. There was never a day like that previously, and there has never been a day like that since. Yahweh was certainly fighting for the Israeli people!
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. | ١٥ 15 |
After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
| فَهَرَبَ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْخَمْسَةُ ٱلْمُلُوكِ وَٱخْتَبَأُوا فِي مَغَارَةٍ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ. | ١٦ 16 |
While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
| فَأُخْبِرَ يَشُوعُ وَقيِلَ لَهُ: «قَدْ وُجِدَ ٱلْمُلُوكُ ٱلْخَمْسَةُ مُخْتَبِئِينَ فِي مَغَارَةٍ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ». | ١٧ 17 |
Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
| فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «دَحْرِجُوا حِجَارَةً عَظِيمَةً عَلَى فَمِ ٱلْمَغَارَةِ، وَأَقِيمُوا عَلَيْهَا رِجَالًا لِأَجْلِ حِفْظِهِمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
When Joshua heard that, he said, “Roll some very large rocks to the entrance of the cave so that the kings cannot escape, and leave some soldiers there to guard it.
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلَا تَقِفُوا، بَلِ ٱسْعَوْا وَرَاءَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ وَٱضْرِبُوا مُؤَخَّرَهُمْ. لَا تَدَعُوهُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ مُدُنَهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ قَدْ أَسْلَمَهُمْ بِيَدِكُمْ». | ١٩ 19 |
But do not stay there! Pursue our enemies! Attack them from behind! Do not allow them to escape to their cities, because Yahweh, our God, will enable you to defeat/kill them. [IDM]”
| وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى يَشُوعُ وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ ضَرْبِهِمْ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا حَتَّى فَنُوا، وَٱلشَّرَدُ ٱلَّذِينَ شَرَدُوا مِنْهُمْ دَخَلُوا ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلْمُحَصَّنَةَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
So Joshua’s army did what he told them to do. They killed almost all of the enemy soldiers, but a few of them were able to reach their cities and be safe inside the walls of the cities.
| رَجَعَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى يَشُوعَ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ بِسَلَامٍ. لَمْ يَسُنَّ أَحَدٌ لِسَانَهُ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Then Joshua’s army returned to Joshua, who was still in their camp at Makkedah. No one in the land dared to criticize [MTY] the Israelis.
| فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «ٱفْتَحُوا فَمَ ٱلْمَغَارَةِ وَأَخْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْخَمْسَةَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ مِنَ ٱلْمَغَارَةِ». | ٢٢ 22 |
Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
| فَفَعَلُوا كَذَلِكَ، وَأَخْرَجُوا إِلَيْهِ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُلُوكَ ٱلْخَمْسَةَ مِنَ ٱلْمَغَارَةِ: مَلِكَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَمَلِكَ حَبْرُونَ، وَمَلِكَ يَرْمُوتَ، وَمَلِكَ لَخِيشَ، وَمَلِكَ عَجْلُونَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَخْرَجُوا أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُلُوكَ إِلَى يَشُوعَ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ دَعَا كُلَّ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقَالَ لِقُوَّادِ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَارُوا مَعَهُ: «تَقَدَّمُوا وَضَعُوا أَرْجُلَكُمْ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ». فَتَقَدَّمُوا وَوَضَعُوا أَرْجُلَهُمْ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
When they brought those kings to Joshua [and forced them to lie on the ground], he summoned all the Israeli soldiers, and then he said to the army commanders, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings!” So the commanders did that.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ: «لَا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَرْتَعِبُوا. تَشَدَّدُوا وَتَشَجَّعُوا. لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِجَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تُحَارِبُونَهُمْ». | ٢٥ 25 |
Then Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid of any of our enemies! Never be discouraged! Be strong and courageous. This is what Yahweh will do to all the enemies you will fight!”
| وَضَرَبَهُمْ يَشُوعُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ وَعَلَّقَهُمْ عَلَى خَمْسِ خَشَبٍ، وَبَقُوا مُعَلَّقِينَ عَلَى ٱلْخَشَبِ حَتَّى ٱلْمَسَاءِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Then Joshua killed each of the five kings with his sword, and told his soldiers to hang the bodies of the five kings on trees. So they did that, and they left the bodies hanging on the trees until sunset.
| وَكَانَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ أَمَرَ فَأَنْزَلُوهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْخَشَبِ وَطَرَحُوهُمْ فِي ٱلْمَغَارَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَبَأُوا فِيهَا، وَوَضَعُوا حِجَارَةً كَبِيرَةً عَلَى فَمِ ٱلْمَغَارةِ حَتَّى إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
At sunset, Joshua told them to take the bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. So the soldiers did that, and then they put those large rocks at the entrance of the cave again. Those rocks are still there.
| وَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ مَقِّيدَةَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَضَرَبَهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَحَرَّمَ مَلِكَهَا هُوَ وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِدًا، وَفَعَلَ بِمَلِكِ مَقِّيدَةَ كَمَا فَعَلَ بِمَلِكِ أَرِيحَا. | ٢٨ 28 |
That is how Joshua’s army attacked and captured Makkedah. They killed the king and everyone else in the town. They did not leave anyone alive. They did to the king of Makkedah the same thing that they had done to the king of Jericho.
| ثُمَّ ٱجْتَازَ يَشُوعُ مِنْ مَقِّيدَةَ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى لِبْنَةَ، وَحَارَبَ لِبْنَةَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked it.
| فَدَفَعَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ هِيَ أَيْضًا بِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَ مَلِكِهَا، فَضَرَبَهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ بِهَا شَارِدًا، وَفَعَلَ بِمَلِكِهَا كَمَا فَعَلَ بِمَلِكِ أَرِيحَا. | ٣٠ 30 |
Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] that city and its king. They killed everyone in the city; they did not (spare anyone/allow anyone to remain alive). They killed the king of Libnah just like they had killed the king of Jericho.
| ثُمَّ ٱجْتَازَ يَشُوعُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ لِبْنَةَ إِلَى لَخِيشَ وَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَحَارَبَهَا. | ٣١ 31 |
Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
| فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَخِيشَ بِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَخَذَهَا فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي وَضَرَبَهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ بِلِبْنَةَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
On the second day of the battle, Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] the city. And like they had done at Libnah, they killed everyone [DOU] in the city.
| حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ هُورَامُ مَلِكُ جَازَرَ لِإِعَانَةِ لَخِيشَ، وَضَرَبَهُ يَشُوعُ مَعَ شَعْبِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يُبْقِ لَهُ شَارِدًا. | ٣٣ 33 |
King Horam from Gezer [city and his army] came to help [the soldiers of] Lachish, but Joshua’s [army] defeated Horam and his army, and did not allow any of them to remain alive.
| ثُمَّ ٱجْتَازَ يَشُوعُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ لَخِيشَ إِلَى عَجْلُونَ فَنَزَلُوا عَلَيْهَا وَحَارَبُوهَا، | ٣٤ 34 |
Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
| وَأَخَذُوهَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَضَرَبُوهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَحَرَّمَ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ بِلَخِيشَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
| ثُمَّ صَعِدَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ عَجْلُونَ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ وَحَارَبُوهَا، | ٣٦ 36 |
Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
| وَأَخَذُوهَا وَضَرَبُوهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ مَعَ مَلِكِهَا وَكُلِّ مُدُنِهَا وَكُلِّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِدًا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ بِعَجْلُونَ، فَحَرَّمَهَا وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. | ٣٧ 37 |
and captured it. They killed the king and everyone else, just like they had done at Eglon. They did not allow anyone to remain alive.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى دَبِيرَ وَحَارَبَهَا، | ٣٨ 38 |
Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
| وَأَخَذَهَا مَعَ مَلِكِهَا وَكُلِّ مُدُنِهَا، وَضَرَبُوهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَحَرَّمُوا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِدًا، كَمَا فَعَلَ بِحَبْرُونَ كَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ بِدَبِيرَ وَمَلِكِهَا، وَكَمَا فَعَلَ بِلِبْنَةَ وَمَلِكِهَا. | ٣٩ 39 |
They captured the city and its king, and also captured the nearby towns. Then they killed everyone [DOU]; they did to the people there the same thing that they had done at Hebron and Libnah.
| فَضَرَبَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ أَرْضِ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱلسَّهْلِ وَٱلسُّفُوحِ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِدًا، بَلْ حَرَّمَ كُلَّ نَسَمَةٍ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤٠ 40 |
That is how Joshua [and his army] conquered the entire southern part of Canaan. They defeated the kings [who ruled] the hilly area, the dry southern area, the [western] foothills, and the [eastern] slopes. They killed everyone [DOU] in those areas; they did not allow anyone to remain alive.
| فَضَرَبَهُمْ يَشُوعُ مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ إِلَى غَزَّةَ وَجَمِيعَ أَرْضِ جُوشِنَ إِلَى جِبْعُونَ. | ٤١ 41 |
Joshua’s soldiers captured all the cities from Kadesh-Barnea [city] in the far south to Gaza [city] near the coast, including all the Goshen area, and north to Gibeon [city].
| وَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ جَمِيعَ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ وَأَرْضِهِمْ دُفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَارَبَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
At that one time, Joshua’s army conquered all the kings and captured all the territory that they [ruled]. They were able to do that because Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], was fighting for them.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
