< يَشُوع 3 >

فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ وَٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ شِطِّيمَ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، هُوَ وَكُلُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَاتُوا هُنَاكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ عَبَرُوا. ١ 1
And Joshua rose up early in the morning. And they moved from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and they lodged there before they passed over.
وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَنَّ ٱلْعُرَفَاءَ جَازُوا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، ٢ 2
And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp,
وَأَمَرُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلِينَ: «عِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَٱلْكَهَنَةَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ حَامِلِينَ إِيَّاهُ، فَٱرْتَحِلُوا مِنْ أَمَاكِنِكُمْ وَسِيرُوا وَرَاءَهُ. ٣ 3
and they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall move from your place, and go after it.
وَلَكِنْ يَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ مَسَافَةٌ نَحْوُ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ بِٱلْقِيَاسِ. لَا تَقْرُبُوا مِنْهُ لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلَّذِي تَسِيرُونَ فِيهِ. لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَعْبُرُوا هَذَا ٱلطَّرِيقَ مِنْ قَبْلُ». ٤ 4
Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near to it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go, for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلشَّعْبِ: «تَقَدَّسُوا لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَعْمَلُ غَدًا فِي وَسَطِكُمْ عَجَائِبَ». ٥ 5
And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow Jehovah will do wonders among you.
وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلْكَهَنَةِ: «ٱحْمِلُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلْعَهْدِ وَٱعْبُرُوا أَمَامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ». فَحَمَلُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلْعَهْدِ وَسَارُوا أَمَامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٦ 6
And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱلْيَوْمَ أَبْتَدِئُ أُعَظِّمُكَ فِي أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِكَيْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي كَمَا كُنْتُ مَعَ مُوسَى أَكُونُ مَعَكَ. ٧ 7
And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day I will begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَأْمُرِ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ ٱلْعَهْدِ قَائِلًا: عِنْدَمَا تَأْتُونَ إِلَى ضَفَّةِ مِيَاهِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ تَقِفُونَ فِي ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». ٨ 8
And thou shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye have come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, ye shall stand still in the Jordan.
فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى هُنَا وَٱسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ». ٩ 9
And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, Come here, and hear the words of Jehovah your God.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَشُوعُ: «بِهَذَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ ٱلْحَيَّ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، وَطَرْدًا يَطْرُدُ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْجِرْجَاشِيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ. ١٠ 10
And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.
هُوَذَا تَابُوتُ عَهْدِ سَيِّدِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَابِرٌ أَمَامَكُمْ فِي ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. ١١ 11
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over before you into the Jordan.
فَٱلْآنَ ٱنْتَخِبُوا ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ. ١٢ 12
Now therefore take for you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.
وَيَكُونُ حِينَمَا تَسْتَقِرُّ بُطُونُ أَقْدَامِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ سَيِّدِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا فِي مِيَاهِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، أَنَّ مِيَاهَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، ٱلمِيْاهَ ٱلْمُنْحَدِرَةَ مِنْ فَوْقُ، تَنْفَلِقُ وَتَقِفُ نَدًّا وَاحِدًا». ١٣ 13
And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, even the waters that come down from above, and they shall stand in one heap.
وَلَمَّا ٱرْتَحَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ خِيَامِهِمْ لِكَيْ يَعْبُرُوا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ حَامِلُو تَابُوتِ ٱلْعَهْدِ أَمَامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، ١٤ 14
And it came to pass, when the people moved from their tents to pass over the Jordan-the priests who bore the ark of the covenant being before the people-
فَعِنْدَ إِتْيَانِ حَامِلِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ وَٱنْغِمَاسِ أَرْجُلِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ حَامِلِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ فِي ضَفَّةِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلْأُرْدُنُّ مُمْتَلِئٌ إِلَى جَمِيعِ شُطُوطِهِ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ ٱلْحَصَادِ، ١٥ 15
and when those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest),
وَقَفَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلْمُنْحَدِرَةُ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَقَامَتْ نَدًّا وَاحِدًا بَعِيدًا جِدًّا عَنْ «أَدَامَ» ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي إِلَى جَانِبِ صَرْتَانَ، وَٱلْمُنْحَدِرَةُ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ «بَحْرِ ٱلْمِلْحِ» ٱنْقَطَعَتْ تَمَامًا، وَعَبَرَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مُقَابِلَ أَرِيحَا. ١٦ 16
that the waters which came down from above, stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan, and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. And the people passed over right against Jericho.
فَوَقَفَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ حَامِلُو تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ رَاسِخِينَ، وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَابِرُونَ عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ حَتَّى ٱنْتَهَى جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنْ عُبُورِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. ١٧ 17
And the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all Israel passed over on dry ground until all the nation were passed clean over the Jordan.
