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 sons of Israel transgressed the commandment, and they usurped what was anathema. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took something from what was anathema. And the Lord became angry against the sons 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 when Joshua sent men from Jericho against Ai, which is beside Bethaven, toward the eastern region of the town of Bethel, he said to them, “Go up and explore the land.” And they fulfilled his instruction, and they explored Ai.
| 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 returning, they said to him: “Let not the entire people go up. Instead, let two or three thousand men go out and destroy the city. Why should all the people be troubled without cause against enemies that are so very few?”
| فَصَعِدَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ نَحْوُ ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ، وَهَرَبُوا أَمَامَ أَهْلِ عَايَ. | ٤ 4 |
Therefore, they went up with three thousand fighters. And they promptly turned their backs,
| 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 were struck down by the men of the city of Ai. And thirty-six men of them fell. And the adversaries pursued them from the gate, even as far as Shebarim. And they felled them as they were fleeing downward. And the heart of the people was struck with fear, and it melted like water.
| فَمَزَّقَ يَشُوعُ ثِيَابَهُ وَسَقَطَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ، هُوَ وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَوَضَعُوا تُرَابًا عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
And truly, Joshua tore his garments, and he fell prone on the ground before the ark of the Lord, even until evening, both he and all the elders of Israel. And they cast dust upon 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: “Alas, O Lord God! Why would you want to lead this people over the river Jordan, so that you might deliver us into the hand of the Amorite and destroy us? I wish that we had remained beyond the Jordan, as when we began.
| أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدُ: مَاذَا أَقُولُ بَعْدَمَا حَوَّلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ قَفَاهُ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِ؟ | ٨ 8 |
My Lord God, what shall I say, seeing Israel turning their backs to their enemies?
| فَيَسْمَعُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَجَمِيعُ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيُحِيطُونَ بِنَا وَيَقْرِضُونَ ٱسْمَنَا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَمَاذَا تَصْنَعُ لِٱسْمِكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ؟». | ٩ 9 |
The Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and coming together as one, they will surround us, and they will wipe our name from the earth. And what will you do concerning your great name?”
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «قُمْ! لِمَاذَا أَنْتَ سَاقِطٌ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
And the Lord said to Joshua: “Rise up. Why are you lying flat on the ground?
| قَدْ أَخْطَأَ إِسْرَائِيلُ، بَلْ تَعَدَّوْا عَهْدِي ٱلَّذِي أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ، بَلْ أَخَذُوا مِنَ ٱلْحَرَامِ، بَلْ سَرَقُوا، بَلْ أَنْكَرُوا، بَلْ وَضَعُوا فِي أَمْتِعَتِهِمْ. | ١١ 11 |
Israel has sinned and transgressed my covenant. And they have taken from what is anathema. And they have stolen and lied, and they have hidden it among their goods.
| 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 |
Israel is not able to stand before his enemies, and he will flee from them. For he has been defiled by what is anathema. I will no longer be with you, until you destroy him who is guilty of this wickedness.
| 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 up. Sanctify the people. And you shall say to them: ‘Be sanctified tomorrow. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: That which is anathema is in your midst, O Israel! You are not able to stand before your enemies, until he who has been contaminated by this wickedness is taken away from 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 draw near in the morning, each one by your tribes. And whichever tribe will be found by lot shall come forward by its families, and the families by houses, and the house by the men.
| وَيَكُونُ ٱلْمَأْخُوذُ بِٱلْحَرَامِ يُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ هُوَ وَكُلُّ مَا لَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ تَعَدَّى عَهْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلِأَنَّهُ عَمِلَ قَبَاحَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١٥ 15 |
And whoever he may be that will be found guilty of this deed, he shall be burnt with fire with all his substance. For he transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and he committed a wicked act in Israel.”
| فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ وَقَدَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَسْبَاطِهِ، فَأُخِذَ سِبْطُ يَهُوذَا. | ١٦ 16 |
And so Joshua, rising in the morning, brought forth Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was found.
| ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ قَبِيلَةَ يَهُوذَا فَأُخِذَتْ عَشِيرَةُ ٱلزَّارَحِيِّينَ. ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ عَشِيرَةَ ٱلزَّارَحِيِّينَ بِرِجَالِهِمْ فَأُخِذَ زَبْدِي. | ١٧ 17 |
And when its families had been presented, the family of Zerah was found. Likewise, bringing that one forward by the houses, he discovered Zabdi.
| فَقَدَّمَ بَيْتَهُ بِرِجَالِهِ فَأُخِذَ عَخَانُ بْنُ كَرْمِي بْنِ زَبْدِي بْنِ زَارَحَ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٨ 18 |
And dividing his house by each man, he found Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah.
| 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 Achan: “My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and confess, and reveal to me what you have done. You may not conceal it.”
| فَأَجَابَ عَخَانُ يَشُوعَ وَقَالَ: «حَقًّا إِنِّي قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَصَنَعْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا. | ٢٠ 20 |
And Achan responded to Joshua, and he said to him: “Truly, I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and I have done one thing and another.
| 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 |
For I saw among the spoils a very fine scarlet cloak, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a gold bar of fifty shekels. And coveting these, I took and hid them in the ground near the middle of my tent, and I covered the silver with the soil that I had dug.”
| فَأَرْسَلَ يَشُوعُ رُسُلًا فَرَكَضُوا إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَإِذَا هِيَ مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ وَٱلْفِضَّةُ تَحْتَهَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
Therefore, Joshua sent ministers, who, running to his tent, discovered everything hidden in the same place, together with the silver.
| فَأَخَذُوهَا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَأَتَوْا بِهَا إِلَى يَشُوعَ وَإِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَسَطُوهَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And taking these from the tent, they brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they cast them down 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 so Joshua took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the cloak, and the gold bar, also his sons and daughters, the oxen and donkeys and sheep, and even the tent and all his goods, (and all of Israel went with him, ) and he brought these to the valley of Achor.
| فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «كَيْفَ كَدَّرْتَنَا؟ يُكَدِّرُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ!». فَرَجَمَهُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ وَأَحْرَقُوهُمْ بِٱلنَّارِ وَرَمَوْهُمْ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ، | ٢٥ 25 |
There, Joshua said: “Because you have troubled us, the Lord troubles you, on this day.” And all of Israel stoned him. And all the things that were his were consumed by fire.
| 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 gathered upon him a great pile of stones, which remains even to the present day. And the fury of the Lord was averted from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, even to this day.
