< يَشُوع 7 >

وَخَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ خِيَانَةً فِي ٱلْحَرَامِ، فَأَخَذَ عَخَانُ بْنُ كَرْمِي بْنِ زَبْدِي بْنِ زَارَحَ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا مِنَ ٱلْحَرَامِ، فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١ 1
But the children of Israel committed a great trespass, and purloined [part] of the accursed thing; and Achar the son of Charmi, the son of Zambri, the son of Zara, of the tribe of Juda, took of the accursed thing; and the Lord was very angry with the children of Israel.
وَأَرْسَلَ يَشُوعُ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَرِيحَا إِلَى عَايَ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ بَيْتِ آوِنَ شَرْقِيَّ بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَكَلَّمَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «ٱصْعَدُوا تَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ». فَصَعِدَ ٱلرِّجَالُ وَتَجَسَّسُوا عَايَ. ٢ 2
And Joshua sent men to Gai, which is by Baethel, saying, Spy out Gai: and the men went up and spied Gai.
ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى يَشُوعَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لَا يَصْعَدْ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ، بَلْ يَصْعَدْ نَحْوُ أَلْفَيْ رَجُلٍ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ وَيَضْرِبُوا عَايَ. لَا تُكَلِّفْ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ لِأَنَّهُمْ قَلِيلُونَ». ٣ 3
And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and take the city by siege: carry not up there the whole people, for [the enemy] are few.
فَصَعِدَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ نَحْوُ ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ، وَهَرَبُوا أَمَامَ أَهْلِ عَايَ. ٤ 4
And there went up about three thousand men, and they fled from before the men of Gai.
فَضَرَبَ مِنْهُمْ أَهْلُ عَايَ نَحْوَ سِتَّةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا، وَلَحِقُوهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلْبَابِ إِلَى شَبَارِيمَ وَضَرَبُوهُمْ فِي ٱلْمُنْحَدَرِ. فَذَابَ قَلْبُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَصَارَ مِثْلَ ٱلْمَاءِ. ٥ 5
And the men of Gai killed of them to the number of thirty-six men, and they pursued them from the gate, and destroyed them from the steep hill; and the heart of the people was alarmed and became as water.
فَمَزَّقَ يَشُوعُ ثِيَابَهُ وَسَقَطَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ، هُوَ وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَوَضَعُوا تُرَابًا عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ. ٦ 6
And Joshua tore his garments; and Joshua fell on the earth on his face before the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they cast dust on their heads.
وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «آهِ يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ! لِمَاذَا عَبَّرْتَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ تَعْبِيرًا لِكَيْ تَدْفَعَنَا إِلَى يَدِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ لِيُبِيدُونَا؟ لَيْتَنَا ٱرْتَضَيْنَا وَسَكَنَّا فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. ٧ 7
And Joshua said, I pray, Lord, therefore has your servant brought this people over Jordan to deliver them to the Amorite to destroy us? would we had remained and settled ourselves beyond Jordan.
أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدُ: مَاذَا أَقُولُ بَعْدَمَا حَوَّلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ قَفَاهُ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِ؟ ٨ 8
And what shall I say since Israel has turned his back before his enemy?
فَيَسْمَعُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَجَمِيعُ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيُحِيطُونَ بِنَا وَيَقْرِضُونَ ٱسْمَنَا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَمَاذَا تَصْنَعُ لِٱسْمِكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ؟». ٩ 9
And when the Chananite and all the inhabitants of the land hear it, they shall compass us round and destroy us from off the land: and what will you do [for] your great name?
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «قُمْ! لِمَاذَا أَنْتَ سَاقِطٌ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ؟ ١٠ 10
And the Lord said to Joshua, Rise up; why have you fallen upon your face?
قَدْ أَخْطَأَ إِسْرَائِيلُ، بَلْ تَعَدَّوْا عَهْدِي ٱلَّذِي أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ، بَلْ أَخَذُوا مِنَ ٱلْحَرَامِ، بَلْ سَرَقُوا، بَلْ أَنْكَرُوا، بَلْ وَضَعُوا فِي أَمْتِعَتِهِمْ. ١١ 11
The people has sinned, and transgressed the covenant which I made with them; they have stolen from the cursed thing, and put it into their store.
فَلَمْ يَتَمَكَّنْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلثُّبُوتِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ. يُدِيرُونَ قَفَاهُمْ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ مَحْرُومُونَ، وَلَا أَعُودُ أَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ إِنْ لَمْ تُبِيدُوا ٱلْحَرَامَ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ. ١٢ 12
And the children of Israel will not be able to stand before their enemies; they will turn their back before their enemies, for they have become an accursed thing: I will not any longer be with you, unless you remove the cursed thing from yourselves.
قُمْ قَدِّسِ ٱلشَّعْبَ وَقُلْ: تَقَدَّسُوا لِلْغَدِ. لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: فِي وَسَطِكَ حَرَامٌ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، فَلَا تَتَمَكَّنُ لِلثُّبُوتِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكَ حَتَّى تَنْزِعُوا ٱلْحَرَامَ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ. ١٣ 13
Rise, sanctify the people and tell them to sanctify themselves for the morrow: thus says the Lord God of Israel, The accursed thing is amongst you; you shall not be able to stand before your enemies, until you shall have removed the cursed thing from amongst you.
فَتَتَقَدَّمُونَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ بِأَسْبَاطِكُمْ، وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلسِّبْطَ ٱلَّذِي يَأْخُذُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ يَتَقَدَّمُ بِعَشَائِرِهِ، وَٱلْعَشِيرَةُ ٱلَّتِي يَأْخُذُهَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَتَقَدَّمُ بِبُيُوتِهَا، وَٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي يَأْخُذُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ يَتَقَدَّمُ بِرِجَالِهِ. ١٤ 14
And you shall all be gathered together by your tribes in the morning, and it shall come to pass that the tribe which the Lord shall show, you shall bring by families; and the family which the Lord shall show, you shall bring by households; and the household which the Lord shall show, you shall bring man by man.
وَيَكُونُ ٱلْمَأْخُوذُ بِٱلْحَرَامِ يُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ هُوَ وَكُلُّ مَا لَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ تَعَدَّى عَهْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلِأَنَّهُ عَمِلَ قَبَاحَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». ١٥ 15
And the man who shall be pointed out, shall be burnt with fire, and all that he has; because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and has wrought wickedness in Israel.
فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ وَقَدَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَسْبَاطِهِ، فَأُخِذَ سِبْطُ يَهُوذَا. ١٦ 16
And Joshua rose up early, and brought the people by their tribes; and the tribe of Juda was pointed out.
ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ قَبِيلَةَ يَهُوذَا فَأُخِذَتْ عَشِيرَةُ ٱلزَّارَحِيِّينَ. ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ عَشِيرَةَ ٱلزَّارَحِيِّينَ بِرِجَالِهِمْ فَأُخِذَ زَبْدِي. ١٧ 17
And it was brought by their families, and family of the Zaraites was pointed out.
فَقَدَّمَ بَيْتَهُ بِرِجَالِهِ فَأُخِذَ عَخَانُ بْنُ كَرْمِي بْنِ زَبْدِي بْنِ زَارَحَ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا. ١٨ 18
And it was brought man by man, and Achar the son of Zambri the son of Zara was pointed out.
فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِعَخَانَ: «يَا ٱبْنِي، أَعْطِ ٱلْآنَ مَجْدًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱعْتَرِفْ لَهُ وَأَخْبِرْنِي ٱلْآنَ مَاذَا عَمِلْتَ. لَا تُخْفِ عَنِّي». ١٩ 19
And Joshua said to Achar, Give glory this day to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession; and tell me what you have done, and hide it not from me.
فَأَجَابَ عَخَانُ يَشُوعَ وَقَالَ: «حَقًّا إِنِّي قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَصَنَعْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا. ٢٠ 20
And Achar answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel: thus and thus have I done:
رَأَيْتُ فِي ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ رِدَاءً شِنْعَارِيًّا نَفِيسًا، وَمِئَتَيْ شَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ، وَلِسَانَ ذَهَبٍ وَزْنُهُ خَمْسُونَ شَاقِلًا، فَٱشْتَهَيْتُهَا وَأَخَذْتُهَا. وَهَا هِيَ مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي وَسَطِ خَيْمَتِي، وَٱلْفِضَّةُ تَحْتَهَا». ٢١ 21
I saw in the spoil an embroidered mantle, and two hundred didrachmas of silver, and one golden wedge of fifty didrachmas, and I desired them and took them; and, behold, they are hid in my tent, and the silver is hid under them.
فَأَرْسَلَ يَشُوعُ رُسُلًا فَرَكَضُوا إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَإِذَا هِيَ مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ وَٱلْفِضَّةُ تَحْتَهَا. ٢٢ 22
And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent into the camp; and these things were hidden in his tent, and the silver under them.
فَأَخَذُوهَا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَأَتَوْا بِهَا إِلَى يَشُوعَ وَإِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَسَطُوهَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٣ 23
And they brought them out of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and the elders of Israel, and they laid them before the Lord.
فَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ عَخَانَ بْنَ زَارَحَ وَٱلْفِضَّةَ وَٱلرِّدَاءَ وَلِسَانَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَبَنِيهِ وَبَنَاتِهِ وَبَقَرَهُ وَحَمِيرَهُ وَغَنَمَهُ وَخَيْمَتَهُ وَكُلَّ مَا لَهُ، وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ، وَصَعِدُوا بِهِمْ إِلَى وَادِي عَخُورَ. ٢٤ 24
And Joshua took Achar the son of Zara, and brought him to the valley of Achor, and his sons, and his daughters, and his calves, and his asses, and all his sheep, and his tent, and all his property, and all the people [were] with him; and he brought them to Emec Achor.
فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «كَيْفَ كَدَّرْتَنَا؟ يُكَدِّرُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ!». فَرَجَمَهُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ وَأَحْرَقُوهُمْ بِٱلنَّارِ وَرَمَوْهُمْ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ، ٢٥ 25
And Joshua said to Achar, Why have you destroyed us? the Lord destroy you as at this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones.
وَأَقَامُوا فَوْقَهُ رُجْمَةَ حِجَارَةٍ عَظِيمَةً إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. فَرَجَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِهِ. وَلِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «وَادِيَ عَخُورَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٢٦ 26
And they set up over him a great heap of stones; and the Lord ceased from his fierce anger. Therefore he called the place Emecachor until this day.
