< يَشُوع 23 >
وَكَانَ غِبَّ أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، بَعْدَمَا أَرَاحَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ حَوَالَيْهِمْ، أَنَّ يَشُوعَ شَاخَ. تَقَدَّمَ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ. | ١ 1 |
Yahweh enabled the Israelis to live peacefully [for many years] with the people-groups that were around them.
فَدَعَا يَشُوعُ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَشُيُوخَهُ وَرُؤَسَاءَهُ وَقُضَاتَهُ وَعُرَفَاءَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنَا قَدْ شِخْتُ. تَقَدَّمْتُ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ. | ٢ 2 |
Joshua was now very old. [One day] he summoned the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the leaders of the clans, the judges, and [other] officials. He said to them, “I am now very old.
وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ كُلَّ مَا عَمِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِجَمِيعِ أُولَئِكَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ هُوَ ٱلْمُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
You people have seen what Yahweh our God has done to help you defeat the people-groups [that lived in this land]. Yahweh our God 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 |
But do not forget that he has given to you all this land, from the Jordan [River in the east] to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, all this land that I have allotted to you.
وَٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ هُوَ يَنْفِيهِمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ وَيَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ قُدَّامِكُمْ، فَتَمْلِكُونَ أَرْضَهُمْ كَمَا كَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
Yahweh our God will compel the people who are still living there to leave. He will push them out as you advance. Then the land will be yours, as Yahweh has promised you.
فَتَشَدَّدُوا جِدًّا لِتَحْفَظُوا وَتَعْمَلُوا كُلَّ ٱلْمَكْتُوبِ فِي سِفْرِ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى حَتَّى لَا تَحِيدُوا عَنْهَا يَمِينًا أَوْ شِمَالًا. | ٦ 6 |
“Be sure that you obey all the laws that are in the book that Moses wrote. Do not disobey any part of it [IDM].
حَتَّى لَا تَدْخُلُوا إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، أُولَئِكَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ مَعَكُمْ، وَلَا تَذْكُرُوا ٱسْمَ آلِهَتِهِمْ، وَلَا تَحْلِفُوا بِهَا، وَلَا تَعْبُدُوهَا، وَلَا تَسْجُدُوا لَهَا. | ٧ 7 |
Do not associate with the people who live among us [who are not Israelis and who worship other gods]. Do not mention the names of their gods, and do not use the names of their gods when you promise to do something. Do not serve their gods or worship them.
وَلَكِنِ ٱلْصَقُوا بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ كَمَا فَعَلْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٨ 8 |
You must continue to do what Yahweh our God wants us to do, as you have been doing.
قَدْ طَرَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ شُعُوبًا عَظِيمَةً وَقَوِيَّةً، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلَمْ يَقِفْ أَحَدٌ قُدَّامَكُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٩ 9 |
“Yahweh has forced [many] very powerful people-groups to leave as you advanced. No people-group has been able to defeat you.
رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَطْرُدُ أَلْفًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ هُوَ ٱلْمُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ كَمَا كَلَّمَكُمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
Each of you will be able to cause 1,000 of them to run away, because Yahweh your God will fight for you, just like he promised to do.
فَٱحْتَفِظُوا جِدًّا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ أَنْ تُحِبُّوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ. | ١١ 11 |
So be sure that you continue to love Yahweh our God.
«وَلَكِنْ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ وَلَصِقْتُمْ بِبَقِيَّةِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، أُولَئِكَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ مَعَكُمْ، وَصَاهَرْتُمُوهُمْ وَدَخَلْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ، | ١٢ 12 |
“If you turn away from doing what Yahweh desires and you associate with the people who are not Israelis, and if you marry them,
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 |
then you can be sure that Yahweh our God will not help you to expel those people-groups from your land. They will be [like] traps [DOU, MET] [that will catch you]. They will be [like] whips [that strike] your backs, and like thorns [that will scratch] your eyes. As a result, none of you will be left in this good land that Yahweh our God is giving to 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 |
“It is almost time for me to die, like everyone does [EUP]. You know in your hearts [DOU] that Yahweh has done for you [LIT] everything that he promised to do.
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 |
He has given to you all the good things that he promised. In the same way, the other things that he promised, [things that are not good], will also happen. He said that if you do what is evil, he will get rid of you and send you away from this good land that he has given to 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 |
That will happen if you do not obey the commands that Yahweh our God told you to obey. If you serve other gods and worship them, Yahweh will become very angry with you. Very quickly [he will expel you from] this good land that he has given to you, [and] none of you will be left here.”
