< 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 removed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children 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 the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove 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; come not near unto 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 unto the people: 'Sanctify yourselves; for to-morrow the LORD 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 unto the priests, saying: 'Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass on 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 the LORD said unto Joshua: 'This day will I 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 shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying: When ye are 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 unto the children of Israel: 'Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD 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 passeth on before you over the Jordan.
فَٱلْآنَ ٱنْتَخِبُوا ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ. ١٢ 12
Now therefore take 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 that bear the ark of the LORD, 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 removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, the priests that 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 they that bore the ark were come unto the Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brink of the water — for the Jordan overfloweth 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 from 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 that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, while all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation were passed clean over the Jordan.
