< يَشُوع 23 >

وَكَانَ غِبَّ أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، بَعْدَمَا أَرَاحَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ حَوَالَيْهِمْ، أَنَّ يَشُوعَ شَاخَ. تَقَدَّمَ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ١ 1
And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.
فَدَعَا يَشُوعُ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَشُيُوخَهُ وَرُؤَسَاءَهُ وَقُضَاتَهُ وَعُرَفَاءَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنَا قَدْ شِخْتُ. تَقَدَّمْتُ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ٢ 2
And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, I am old and stricken in age:
وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ كُلَّ مَا عَمِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِجَمِيعِ أُولَئِكَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ هُوَ ٱلْمُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ. ٣ 3
And you have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that has fought for you.
اُنْظُرُوا. قَدْ قَسَمْتُ لَكُمْ بِٱلْقُرْعَةِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ مُلْكًا حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ، مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ وَجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّتِي قَرَضْتُهَا، وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ نَحْوَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ. ٤ 4
Behold, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea westward.
وَٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ هُوَ يَنْفِيهِمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ وَيَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ قُدَّامِكُمْ، فَتَمْلِكُونَ أَرْضَهُمْ كَمَا كَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. ٥ 5
And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and you shall possess their land, as the LORD your God has promised to you.
فَتَشَدَّدُوا جِدًّا لِتَحْفَظُوا وَتَعْمَلُوا كُلَّ ٱلْمَكْتُوبِ فِي سِفْرِ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى حَتَّى لَا تَحِيدُوا عَنْهَا يَمِينًا أَوْ شِمَالًا. ٦ 6
Be you therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
حَتَّى لَا تَدْخُلُوا إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، أُولَئِكَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ مَعَكُمْ، وَلَا تَذْكُرُوا ٱسْمَ آلِهَتِهِمْ، وَلَا تَحْلِفُوا بِهَا، وَلَا تَعْبُدُوهَا، وَلَا تَسْجُدُوا لَهَا. ٧ 7
That you come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves to them:
وَلَكِنِ ٱلْصَقُوا بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ كَمَا فَعَلْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٨ 8
But hold to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.
قَدْ طَرَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ شُعُوبًا عَظِيمَةً وَقَوِيَّةً، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلَمْ يَقِفْ أَحَدٌ قُدَّامَكُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٩ 9
For the LORD has driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day.
رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَطْرُدُ أَلْفًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ هُوَ ٱلْمُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ كَمَا كَلَّمَكُمْ. ١٠ 10
One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fights for you, as he has promised you.
فَٱحْتَفِظُوا جِدًّا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ أَنْ تُحِبُّوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ. ١١ 11
Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.
«وَلَكِنْ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ وَلَصِقْتُمْ بِبَقِيَّةِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، أُولَئِكَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ مَعَكُمْ، وَصَاهَرْتُمُوهُمْ وَدَخَلْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ، ١٢ 12
Else if you do in any wise go back, and join to the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you:
فَٱعْلَمُوا يَقِينًا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ لَا يَعُودُ يَطْرُدُ أُولَئِكَ ٱلشُّعُوبَ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، فَيَكُونُوا لَكُمْ فَخًّا وَشَرَكًا وَسَوْطًا عَلَى جَوَانِبِكُمْ، وَشَوْكًا فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ، حَتَّى تَبِيدُوا عَنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ إِيَّاهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. ١٣ 13
Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
وَهَا أَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ ذَاهِبٌ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. وَتَعْلَمُونَ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَكُلِّ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَنَّهُ لَمْ تَسْقُطْ كَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلصَّالِحِ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْكُمُ. ٱلْكُلُّ صَارَ لَكُمْ. لَمْ تَسْقُطْ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. ١٤ 14
And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you; all are come to pass to you, and not one thing has failed thereof.
وَيَكُونُ كَمَا أَنَّهُ أَتَى عَلَيْكُمْ كُلُّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلصَّالِحِ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ عَنْكُمْ، كَذَلِكَ يَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ حَتَّى يُبِيدَكُمْ عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. ١٥ 15
Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come on you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring on you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
حِينَمَا تَتَعَدَّوْنَ عَهْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِهِ وَتَسِيرُونَ وَتَعْبُدُونَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَتَسْجُدُونَ لَهَا، يَحْمَى غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَبِيدُونَ سَرِيعًا عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ». ١٦ 16
When you have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you.
