< يَشُوع 24 >

وَجَمَعَ يَشُوعُ جَمِيعَ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى شَكِيمَ. وَدَعَا شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَرُؤَسَاءَهُمْ وَقُضَاتَهُمْ وَعُرَفَاءَهُمْ فَمَثَلُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١ 1
Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and called for the elders of Israel, for their leaders, for their judges, and for their officers, and they presented themselves before God.
وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: آبَاؤُكُمْ سَكَنُوا فِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ. تَارَحُ أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَبُو نَاحُورَ، وَعَبَدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى. ٢ 2
Joshua said to all the people, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'Your ancestors long ago lived beyond the Euphrates River—Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor—and they worshiped other gods.
فَأَخَذْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبَاكُمْ مِنْ عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ وَسِرْتُ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَأَكْثَرْتُ نَسْلَهُ وَأَعْطَيْتُهُ إِسْحَاقَ. ٣ 3
But I took your father from beyond the Euphrates and led him into the land of Canaan and gave him many descendants through his son Isaac.
وَأَعْطَيْتُ إِسْحَاقَ يَعْقُوبَ وَعِيسُوَ، وَأَعْطَيْتُ عِيسُوَ جَبَلَ سَعِيرَ لِيَمْلِكَهُ. وَأَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ وَبَنُوهُ فَنَزَلُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ. ٤ 4
Then to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave Esau the hill country of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
وَأَرْسَلْتُ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَضَرَبْتُ مِصْرَ حَسَبَ مَا فَعَلْتُ فِي وَسَطِهَا، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجْتُكُمْ. ٥ 5
I sent Moses and Aaron, and I afflicted the Egyptians with plagues. After that, I brought you out.
فَأَخْرَجْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَدَخَلْتُمُ ٱلْبَحْرَ وَتَبِعَ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ آبَاءَكُمْ بِمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَفُرْسَانٍ إِلَى بَحْرِ سُوفٍ. ٦ 6
I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, and you came to the sea. The Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Sea of Reeds.
فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَجَعَلَ ظَلَامًا بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، وَجَلَبَ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَغَطَّاهُمْ. وَرَأَتْ أَعْيُنُكُمْ مَا فَعَلْتُ فِي مِصْرَ، وَأَقَمْتُمْ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً. ٧ 7
When your ancestors called out to Yahweh, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians. He brought the sea to come over them and cover them. You saw what I did in Egypt. Then you lived in the wilderness for a long time.
ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بِكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ فَحَارَبُوكُمْ، وَدَفَعْتُهُمْ بِيَدِكُمْ فَمَلَكْتُمْ أَرْضَهُمْ وَأَهْلَكْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ. ٨ 8
I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them into your hand. You took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you.
وَقَامَ بَالَاقُ بْنُ صِفُّورَ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ وَحَارَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَرْسَلَ وَدَعَا بَلْعَامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ لِكَيْ يَلْعَنَكُمْ. ٩ 9
Then Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, got up and attacked Israel. He sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse you.
وَلَمْ أَشَأْ أَنْ أَسْمَعَ لِبَلْعَامَ، فَبَارَكَكُمْ بَرَكَةً وَأَنْقَذْتُكُمْ مِنْ يَدِهِ. ١٠ 10
But I did not listen to Balaam. Indeed, he blessed you. So I rescued you out of his hand.
ثُمَّ عَبَرْتُمُ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ وَأَتَيْتُمْ إِلَى أَرِيحَا. فَحَارَبَكُمْ أَصْحَابُ أَرِيحَا: ٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيُّونَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَٱلْحِثِّيُّونَ وَٱلْجِرْجَاشِيُّونَ وَٱلْحِوِّيُّونَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيُّونَ، فَدَفَعْتُهُمْ بِيَدِكُمْ. ١١ 11
You went over the Jordan and came to Jericho. The leaders of Jericho fought against you, along with the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. I gave you victory over them and put them under your control.
وَأَرْسَلْتُ قُدَّامَكُمُ ٱلزَّنَابِيرَ وَطَرَدْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، أَيْ مَلِكَيِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ، لَا بِسَيْفِكَ وَلَا بِقَوْسِكَ. ١٢ 12
I sent the hornet before you, which drove them and the two kings of the Amorites out before you. It did not happen by your sword or by your bow.
وَأَعْطَيْتُكُمْ أَرْضًا لَمْ تَتْعَبُوا عَلَيْهَا، وَمُدُنًا لَمْ تَبْنُوهَا وَتَسْكُنُونَ بِهَا، وَمِنْ كُرُومٍ وَزَيْتُونٍ لَمْ تَغْرِسُوهَا تَأْكُلُونَ. ١٣ 13
I gave you land on which you had not worked and cities that you had not built, and now you live in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant.'
فَٱلْآنَ ٱخْشَوْا ٱلرَّبَّ وَٱعْبُدُوهُ بِكَمَالٍ وَأَمَانَةٍ، وَٱنْزِعُوا ٱلْآلِهَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَبَدَهُمْ آبَاؤُكُمْ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ وَفِي مِصْرَ، وَٱعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. ١٤ 14
Now fear Yahweh and worship him with all integrity and faithfulness; get rid of the gods that your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and worship Yahweh.
وَإِنْ سَاءَ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، فَٱخْتَارُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنْ تَعْبُدُونَ: إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْآلِهَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَبَدَهُمْ آبَاؤُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ آلِهَةَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْتُمْ سَاكِنُونَ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا وَبَيْتِي فَنَعْبُدُ ٱلرَّبَّ». ١٥ 15
If it seems wrong in your eyes for you to worship Yahweh, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live. But as for me and my house, we will worship Yahweh.”
فَأَجَابَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَقَالُوا: «حَاشَا لَنَا أَنْ نَتْرُكَ ٱلرَّبَّ لِنَعْبُدَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، ١٦ 16
The people answered and said, “We would never forsake Yahweh to serve other gods,
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَنَا وَآبَاءَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ، وَٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِنَا تِلْكَ ٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةَ، وَحَفِظَنَا فِي كُلِّ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي سِرْنَا فِيهَا وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَبَرْنَا فِي وَسَطِهِمْ. ١٧ 17
for it is Yahweh our God who brought us and our ancestors up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and who did those great signs in our sight, and who preserved us in all the way that we went, and among all the nations through whom we passed.
وَطَرَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِنَا جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. فَنَحْنُ أَيْضًا نَعْبُدُ ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ إِلَهُنَا». ١٨ 18
Then Yahweh drove out before us all the peoples, including the Amorites who lived in the land. So we too will worship Yahweh, for he is our God.”
فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلشَّعْبِ: «لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ إِلَهٌ قُدُّوسٌ وَإِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ هُوَ. لَا يَغْفِرُ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَخَطَايَاكُمْ. ١٩ 19
But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve Yahweh, for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions and sins.
وَإِذَا تَرَكْتُمُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَعَبَدْتُمْ آلِهَةً غَرِيبَةً يَرْجِعُ فَيُسِيءُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَيُفْنِيكُمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْكُمْ». ٢٠ 20
If you forsake Yahweh and worship foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm. He will consume you, after he has done good to you.”
فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِيَشُوعَ: «لَا. بَلِ ٱلرَّبَّ نَعْبُدُ». ٢١ 21
But the people said to Joshua, “No, we will worship Yahweh.”
فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلشَّعْبِ: «أَنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ قَدِ ٱخْتَرْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمُ ٱلرَّبَّ لِتَعْبُدُوهُ». فَقَالُوا: «نَحْنُ شُهُودٌ». ٢٢ 22
Then Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves Yahweh, to worship him.” They said, “We are witnesses.”
«فَٱلْآنَ ٱنْزِعُوا ٱلْآلِهَةَ ٱلْغَرِيبَةَ ٱلَّتِي فِي وَسَطِكُمْ وَأَمِيلُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٢٣ 23
“Now put away the foreign gods that are with you, and turn your heart to Yahweh, the God of Israel.”
فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا نَعْبُدُ وَلِصَوْتِهِ نَسْمَعُ». ٢٤ 24
The people said to Joshua, “We will worship Yahweh our God. We will listen to his voice.”
وَقَطَعَ يَشُوعُ عَهْدًا لِلشَّعْبِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ فَرِيضَةً وَحُكْمًا فِي شَكِيمَ. ٢٥ 25
Joshua made a covenant with the people that day. He put in place decrees and laws at Shechem.
وَكَتَبَ يَشُوعُ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ فِي سِفْرِ شَرِيعَةِ ٱللهِ. وَأَخَذَ حَجَرًا كَبِيرًا وَنَصَبَهُ هُنَاكَ تَحْتَ ٱلْبَلُّوطَةِ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ مَقْدِسِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٦ 26
Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God. He took a large stone and set it up there beneath the oak tree that was beside Yahweh's sanctuary.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَشُوعُ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «إِنَّ هَذَا ٱلْحَجَرَ يَكُونُ شَاهِدًا عَلَيْنَا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ سَمِعَ كُلَّ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنَا بِهِ، فَيَكُونُ شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ لِئَلَّا تَجْحَدُوا إِلَهَكُمْ». ٢٧ 27
Joshua said to all the people, “Look, this stone will be a testimony against us. It has heard all the words Yahweh said to us. So it will be a witness against you, should you ever deny your God.”
ثُمَّ صَرَفَ يَشُوعُ ٱلشَّعْبَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ. ٢٨ 28
So Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.
وَكَانَ بَعْدَ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ أَنَّهُ مَاتَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونٍ عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱبْنَ مِئَةٍ وَعَشْرِ سِنِينَ. ٢٩ 29
After these things Joshua son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being 110 years old.
فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي تُخْمِ مُلْكِهِ، فِي تِمْنَةَ سَارَحَ ٱلَّتِي فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ شِمَالِيَّ جَبَلِ جَاعَشَ. ٣٠ 30
They buried him within the border of his own inheritance, at Timnath Serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
وَعَبَدَ إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلرَّبَّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ يَشُوعَ، وَكُلَّ أَيَّامِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَالَتْ أَيَّامُهُمْ بَعْدَ يَشُوعَ وَٱلَّذِينَ عَرَفُوا كُلَّ عَمَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. ٣١ 31
Israel worshiped Yahweh all of Joshua's days, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, those who had experienced everything that Yahweh had done for Israel.
وَعِظَامُ يُوسُفَ ٱلَّتِي أَصْعَدَهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ دَفَنُوهَا فِي شَكِيمَ، فِي قِطْعَةِ ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّتِي ٱشْتَرَاهَا يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ بَنِي حَمُورَ أَبِي شَكِيمَ بِمِئَةِ قَسِيطَةٍ، فَصَارَتْ لِبَنِي يُوسُفَ مُلْكًا. ٣٢ 32
The bones of Joseph, which the people of Israel brought up out of Egypt—they buried them at Shechem, in the piece of land that Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. He bought it for one hundred pieces of silver, and it became an inheritance for the descendants of Joseph.
وَمَاتَ أَلِعَازَارُ بْنُ هَارُونَ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي جِبْعَةِ فِينْحَاسَ ٱبْنِهِ ٱلَّتِي أُعْطِيَتْ لَهُ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ. ٣٣ 33
Eleazar son of Aaron also died. They buried him at Gibeah, the city of Phinehas his son, which had been given to him. It was in the hill country of Ephraim.
