< يَشُوع 6 >
| وَكَانَتْ أَرِيحَا مُغَلَّقَةً مُقَفَّلَةً بِسَبَبِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا أَحَدٌ يَخْرُجُ وَلَا أَحَدٌ يَدْخُلُ. | ١ 1 |
Meanwhile, the guards of Jericho shut the gates of the city tightly, because [they were afraid] of the Israeli [army]. No one was allowed to go into the city or go out of it.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱنْظُرْ. قَدْ دَفَعْتُ بِيَدِكَ أَرِيحَا وَمَلِكَهَا، جَبَابِرَةَ ٱلْبَأْسِ. | ٢ 2 |
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Listen [to what I say]! I am going to enable your army [SYN] to capture/conquer [MTY] Jericho and its king and its soldiers.
| تَدُورُونَ دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ. حَوْلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُونَ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ٣ 3 |
So your army must march around the city for six days, once each day.
| وَسَبْعَةُ كَهَنَةٍ يَحْمِلُونَ أَبْوَاقَ ٱلْهُتَافِ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ. وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ تَدُورُونَ دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. | ٤ 4 |
Tell seven priests to march around with them. Each priest must carry a trumpet. Four other priests must carry the sacred chest, and they must walk behind the priests who are carrying the trumpets. On the seventh day, the army must march around the city seven times, and the priests must be blowing the trumpets while they march.
| وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ ٱمْتِدَادِ صَوْتِ قَرْنِ ٱلْهُتَافِ، عِنْدَ ٱسْتِمَاعِكُمْ صَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ، أَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَهْتِفُ هُتَافًا عَظِيمًا، فَيَسْقُطُ سُورُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَيَصْعَدُ ٱلشَّعْبُ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مَعَ وَجْهِهِ». | ٥ 5 |
[After they have all marched around the city seven times], the priests must blow their trumpets [once], very loudly. When the Israeli people/soldiers hear that, they must shout loudly. Then the wall of the city will collapse, and all the Israeli people/soldiers will go straight into the city.”
| فَدَعَا يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونٍ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱحْمِلُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلْعَهْدِ. وَلْيَحْمِلْ سَبْعَةُ كَهَنَةٍ سَبْعَةَ أَبْوَاقِ هُتَافٍ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ٦ 6 |
So Joshua summoned the priests and said to them, “Tell four priests to carry the chest [that contains] the Ten Commandments that Yahweh [gave to us]. [Tell] seven [other] priests to carry trumpets and walk in front of them.”
| وَقَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ: «ٱجْتَازُوا وَدُورُوا دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَلْيَجْتَزِ ٱلْمُتَجَرِّدُ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ٧ 7 |
And Joshua told the soldiers, “Start marching! March around the city, with several soldiers with weapons marching in front. Behind them will march the seven priests with trumpets, and behind them will march the four priests carrying Yahweh’s [sacred] chest.”
| وَكَانَ كَمَا قَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلشَّعْبِ. ٱجْتَازَ ٱلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ حَامِلِينَ أَبْوَاقَ ٱلْهُتَافِ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَضَرَبُوا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. وَتَابُوتُ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ سَائِرٌ وَرَاءَهُمْ، | ٨ 8 |
After Joshua told that to the army, the seven priests, each carrying a sacred trumpet, started marching, blowing their trumpets. The four priests who were carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest followed them.
| وَكُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ سَائِرٌ أَمَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلضَّارِبِينَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. وَٱلسَّاقَةُ سَائِرَةٌ وَرَاءَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ. كَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ وَيَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. | ٩ 9 |
The group of soldiers carrying weapons marched in front of the priests who were blowing their trumpets, and the rest of the soldiers followed [the four men carrying] the chest. While [they were all marching], [the seven priests] were blowing their trumpets.
| وَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَهْتِفُوا وَلَا تُسَمِّعُوا صَوْتَكُمْ، وَلَا تَخْرُجْ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمْ كَلِمَةٌ حَتَّى يَوْمَ أَقُولُ لَكُمُ: ٱهْتِفُوا. فَتَهْتِفُونَ». | ١٠ 10 |
But [the rest of] the people [were silent, because] Joshua had commanded them, “Do not make a war cry. Do not yell or say anything until the day when I tell you to shout. On that day, you must shout [loudly]!”
| فَدَارَ تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا ٱلْمَحَلَّةَ وَبَاتُوا فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ١١ 11 |
So the men carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest and all the others did what Joshua told them to do. They marched around the city once. Then they all returned to their camp and stayed there that night.
| فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ، وَحَمَلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ١٢ 12 |
The next morning, Joshua and the priests got up early, and the four priests carried Yahweh’s sacred chest [again].
| وَٱلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلْحَامِلُونَ أَبْوَاقَ ٱلْهُتَافِ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ سَائِرُونَ سَيْرًا وَضَارِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ، وَٱلْمُتَجَرِّدُونَ سَائِرُونَ أَمَامَهُمْ، وَٱلْسَّاقَةُ سَائِرَةٌ وَرَاءَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. كَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ وَيَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. | ١٣ 13 |
The seven priests who were carrying trumpets went in front of [the men carrying] the chest. The seven priests were blowing their trumpets as they marched. The group of soldiers carrying weapons went in front of all the others, and the rest of the army followed all the others. All the time, the seven priests were blowing their trumpets.
| وَدَارُوا بِٱلْمَدِينَةِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. هَكَذَا فَعَلُوا سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
So on that second day they again marched around the city once and then returned to their camp. They did the same thing for six days.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ أَنَّهُمْ بَكَّرُوا عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ وَدَارُوا دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْمِنْوَالِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ. فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ فَقَطْ دَارُوا دَائِرَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
On the seventh day, they got up at dawn, and they all marched around the city the same way that they had done before, but this time they marched around the city seven times.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْمَرَّةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ عِنْدَمَا ضَرَبَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ قَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ: «ٱهْتِفُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. | ١٦ 16 |
As they were marching around the seventh time, when the priests were about to blow the long/loud blast on their trumpets, Joshua commanded the people, “Shout, because Yahweh will enable you to capture the city!
| فَتَكُونُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهَا مُحَرَّمًا لِلرَّبِّ. رَاحَابُ ٱلزَّانِيَةُ فَقَطْ تَحْيَا هِيَ وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَعَهَا فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، لِأَنَّهَا قَدْ خَبَّأَتِ ٱلْمُرْسَلَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ أَرْسَلْنَاهُمَا. | ١٧ 17 |
Yahweh has declared that you must destroy [IDM] the city and everything in it [to show that it belongs to him]. You must spare only Rahab the prostitute and the others who are in her house, because she hid the spies whom we sent there.
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَٱحْتَرِزُوا مِنَ ٱلْحَرَامِ لِئَلَّا تُحَرَّمُوا، وَتَأْخُذُوا مِنَ ٱلْحَرَامِ وَتَجْعَلُوا مَحَلَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُحَرَّمَةً وَتُكَدِّرُوهَا. | ١٨ 18 |
And because Yahweh has declared that everything must be destroyed [IDM], you must not take [EUP] any of the things in the city. If you take anything, you will cause Yahweh to destroy our own camp and cause terrible things to happen to us.
| وَكُلُّ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَآنِيَةِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ تَكُونُ قُدْسًا لِلرَّبِّ وَتَدْخُلُ فِي خِزَانَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٩ 19 |
But all the silver and gold and articles made from iron and bronze that you find, you must set apart for Yahweh. You must put those things in his treasury.”
| فَهَتَفَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَضَرَبُوا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. وَكَانَ حِينَ سَمِعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ صَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ هَتَفَ هُتَافًا عَظِيمًا، فَسَقَطَ ٱلسُّورُ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَصَعِدَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مَعَ وَجْهِهِ، وَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
So they did what Joshua told them to do. When the priests blew a long blast on their trumpets, the people/army shouted loudly, and the wall of the city collapsed! Then the Israeli soldiers rushed in and captured the city.
| وَحَرَّمُوا كُلَّ مَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَٱمْرَأَةٍ، مِنْ طِفْلٍ وَشَيْخٍ، حَتَّى ٱلْبَقَرَ وَٱلْغَنَمَ وَٱلْحَمِيرَ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٢١ 21 |
They killed [IDM] every living thing in the city—men and women, young people and old people, even cattle and sheep and donkeys.
| وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلرَّجُلَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ تَجَسَّسَا ٱلْأَرْضَ: «ٱدْخُلَا بَيْتَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلزَّانِيَةِ وَأَخْرِجَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا كَمَا حَلَفْتُمَا لَهَا». | ٢٢ 22 |
Then Joshua said to the two men (who had spied on/whom he had sent to learn all they could about) the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house. Bring her out, along with all her family, just as you promised to her.”
| فَدَخَلَ ٱلْغُلَامَانِ ٱلْجَاسُوسَانِ وَأَخْرَجَا رَاحَابَ وَأَبَاهَا وَأُمَّهَا وَإِخْوَتَهَا وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا، وَأَخْرَجَا كُلَّ عَشَائِرِهَا وَتَرَكَاهُمْ خَارِجَ مَحَلَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So those two spies/men went into Rahab’s house and brought her out. They also brought out her father and mother and her brothers, and all the rest of her family. Joshua’s men spared Rahab the prostitute. They also did not kill all her relatives, because she had hidden and protected the spies/men whom Joshua had sent to Jericho. The two men brought them all out and put them in a place outside the camp of the Israelis. Rahab still lives among us Israeli people. Then the soldiers gathered the articles made from silver, gold, bronze, and iron that they found and they put them all into Yahweh’s treasury. But they burned everything else that was in the city.
| وَأَحْرَقُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِٱلنَّارِ مَعَ كُلِّ مَا بِهَا، إِنَّمَا ٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلذَّهَبُ وَآنِيَةُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ جَعَلُوهَا فِي خِزَانَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٤ 24 |
| وَٱسْتَحْيَا يَشُوعُ رَاحَابَ ٱلزَّانِيَةَ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيهَا وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا، وَسَكَنَتْ فِي وَسَطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّهَا خَبَّأَتِ ٱلْمُرْسَلَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ أَرْسَلَهُمَا يَشُوعُ لِكَيْ يَتَجَسَّسَا أَرِيحَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
| وَحَلَفَ يَشُوعُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: «مَلْعُونٌ قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَقُومُ وَيَبْنِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ أَرِيحَا. بِبِكْرِهِ يُؤَسِّسُهَا وَبِصَغِيرِهِ يَنْصِبُ أَبْوَابَهَا». | ٢٦ 26 |
At that time, Joshua warned the people, “Yahweh will curse/punish anyone who tries to rebuild this city, Jericho. When that person lays/builds its foundation, his oldest son will die. And when he finishes building the city wall and sets up its gates, his youngest son will die.”
| وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ يَشُوعَ، وَكَانَ خَبَرُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Because of what happened that day, it was clear that Yahweh was with/helped Joshua, and Joshua became famous throughout the land.
