< يَشُوع 4 >

وَكَانَ لَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنْ عُبُورِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ كَلَّمَ يَشُوعَ قَائِلًا: ١ 1
Once the entire nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the Lord told Joshua,
«ٱنْتَخِبُوا مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا، رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ، ٢ 2
“Choose twelve men from the people, one per tribe,
وَأْمُرُوهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: ٱحْمِلُوا مِنْ هُنَا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، مِنْ مَوْقِفِ أَرْجُلِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ رَاسِخَةً، ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ حَجَرًا، وَعَبِّرُوهَا مَعَكُمْ وَضَعُوهَا فِي ٱلْمَبِيتِ ٱلَّذِي تَبِيتُونَ فِيهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ». ٣ 3
and tell them, ‘Pick up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing. Then carry them and set them down at the place where you will camp tonight.’”
فَدَعَا يَشُوعُ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا ٱلَّذِينَ عَيَّنَهُمْ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ. ٤ 4
So Joshua sent for the twelve men he had chosen, one from each tribe,
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ: «ٱعْبُرُوا أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ إِلَى وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَٱرْفَعُوا كُلُّ رَجُلٍ حَجَرًا وَاحِدًا عَلَى كَتِفِهِ حَسَبَ عَدَدِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٥ 5
and told them, “Go back into the middle of the Jordan, right in front of the Ark of the Agreement of the Lord your God, and each of you pick up a stone and carry it on your shoulder, one for each of the tribes of Israel.
لِكَيْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ عَلَامَةً فِي وَسَطِكُمْ. إِذَا سَأَلَ غَدًا بَنُوكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: مَا لَكُمْ وَهَذِهِ ٱلْحِجَارَةَ؟ ٦ 6
This will be a memorial among you so when your children one day ask, ‘What do these stones mean?’
تَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ مِيَاهَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ قَدِ ٱنْفَلَقَتْ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. عِنْدَ عُبُورِهِ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ ٱنْفَلَقَتْ مِيَاهُ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ ٱلْحِجَارَةُ تَذْكَارًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ». ٧ 7
you can tell them, ‘It's about the time the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the Lord's Agreement went across. When it crossed over the water stopped. These stones are a memorial to the people of Israel forever.’”
فَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ هَكَذاَ كَمَا أَمَرَ يَشُوعُ، وَحَمَلُوا ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ حَجَرًا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ، حَسَبَ عَدَدِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَعَبَّرُوهَا مَعَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَبِيتِ وَوَضَعُوهَا هُنَاكَ. ٨ 8
The people of Israel did as Joshua told them. The men picked up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan as the Lord had instructed Joshua. They carried them to the place where they camped overnight and placed the stones there, one for each of the tribes of Israel.
وَنَصَبَ يَشُوعُ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ حَجَرًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ تَحْتَ مَوْقِفِ أَرْجُلِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ ٱلْعَهْدِ. وَهِيَ هُنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٩ 9
Joshua also set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan right where the priests carrying the Ark of the Agreement had stood, and they are still there to this very day.
وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ حَامِلُو ٱلتَّابُوتِ وَقَفُوا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ حَتَّى ٱنْتَهَى كُلُّ شَيْءٍ أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَشُوعَ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَ بِهِ ٱلشَّعْبَ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ مُوسَى يَشُوعَ. وَأَسْرَعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ فَعَبَرُوا. ١٠ 10
The priests carrying the Ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything was done just as the Lord had told the people to do, all that Moses had told Joshua to do. The people crossed over quickly.
وَكَانَ لَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنَ ٱلْعُبُورِ، أَنَّهُ عَبَرَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ فِي حَضْرَةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ١١ 11
Once all the people had crossed over, they watched as the Ark of the Lord was carried across by the priests.
وَعَبَرَ بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادٍ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى مُتَجَهِّزِينَ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَمَا كَلَّمَهُمْ مُوسَى. ١٢ 12
The armed men from the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh crossed at the head of the people of Israel, as Moses had stipulated.
نَحْوَ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفًا مُتَجَرِّدِينَ لِلْجُنْدِ عَبَرُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلْحَرْبِ إِلَى عَرَبَاتِ أَرِيحَا. ١٣ 13
They numbered about 40,000 men, armed and ready for battle, crossed in the presence of the Lord to the plains of Jericho.
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عَظَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَشُوعَ فِي أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَهَابُوهُ كَمَا هَابُوا مُوسَى كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ. ١٤ 14
On that day the Lord confirmed Joshua as great leader in the sight of all the Israelites, and they were in awe of him just as they had been in awe of Moses.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَشُوعَ قَائِلًا: ١٥ 15
The Lord had told Joshua,
«مُرِ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ أَنْ يَصْعَدُوا مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». ١٦ 16
“Order the priests carrying the Ark of the Testimony to come up out of the Jordan.”
فَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ قَائِلًا: «ٱصْعَدُوا مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». ١٧ 17
So Joshua told the priests, “Come up out of the Jordan.”
فَكَانَ لَمَّا صَعِدَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ حَامِلُو تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَٱجْتُذِبَتْ بُطُونُ أَقْدَامِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ إِلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ، أَنَّ مِيَاهَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا وَجَرَتْ كَمَا مِنْ قَبْلُ إِلَى كُلِّ شُطُوطِهِ. ١٨ 18
The priests came up out of the Jordan carrying the Ark of the Agreement, and as soon as their feet touched dry ground the waters of the Jordan returned to where they had been, overflowing its banks as before.
وَصَعِدَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، وَحَلُّوا فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ فِي تُخُمِ أَرِيحَا ٱلشَّرْقِيِّ. ١٩ 19
The people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal, to the east of Jericho, on the tenth day of the first month.
وَٱلِٱثْنَا عَشَرَ حَجَرًا ٱلَّتِي أَخَذُوهَا مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَصَبَهَا يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. ٢٠ 20
Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones that had been taken from the Jordan.
وَكَلَّمَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «إِذَا سَأَلَ بَنُوكُمْ غَدًا آبَاءَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: مَا هَذِهِ ٱلْحِجَارَةُ؟ ٢١ 21
He told the Israelites, “When some day your children ask you their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?’
تُعْلِمُونَ بَنِيكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ عَبَرَ إِسْرَائِيلُ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ. ٢٢ 22
you can explain to them, ‘This is where the Israelites crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ قَدْ يَبَّسَ مِيَاهَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ حَتَّى عَبَرْتُمْ، كَمَا فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِبَحْرِ سُوفٍ ٱلَّذِي يَبَّسَهُ مِنْ أَمَامِنَا حَتَّى عَبَرْنَا، ٢٣ 23
For the Lord your God made the Jordan River dry up right in front of you so you all could cross, just as the Lord your God did at the Red Sea which he dried up so we could all cross.
لِكَيْ تَعْلَمَ جَمِيعُ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَدَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّهَا قَوِيَّةٌ، لِكَيْ تَخَافُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». ٢٤ 24
He did this so everyone on earth would know how powerful the Lord is, and so that you might be in awe of the Lord your God forever.”
