Joshua 5

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel.	1 وعندما سمع جميع ملوك الاموريين الذين في عبر الاردن غربا وجميع ملوك الكنعانيين الذين على البحر ان الرب قد يبّس مياه الاردن من امام بني اسرائيل حتى عبرنا ذابت قلوبهم ولم تبق فيهم روح بعد من جراء بني اسرائيل
2 At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.	2 في ذلك الوقت قال الرب ليشوع اصنع لنفسك سكاكين من صوّان وعد فاختن بني اسرائيل ثانية.
3 He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.	3 فصنع يشوع سكاكين من صوّان وختن بني اسرائيل في تل القلف.
4 Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way.	4 وهذا هو سبب ختن يشوع اياهم. ان جميع الشعب الخارجين من مصر الذكور جميع رجال الحرب ماتوا في البرية على الطريق بخروجهم من مصر.
5 Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,	5 لان جميع الشعب الذين خرجوا كانوا مختونين. واما جميع الشعب الذين ولدوا في القفر على الطريق بخروجهم من مصر فلم يختنوا.
6 Luring the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the land flowing with milk and honey.	6 لان بني اسرائيل ساروا اربعين سنة في القفر حتى فني جميع الشعب رجال الحرب الخارجين من مصر الذين لم يسمعوا لقول الرب الذين حلف الرب لهم انه لا يريهم الارض التي حلف الرب لآبائهم ان يعطينا اياها الارض التي تفيض لبنا وعسلا.
7 The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way.	7 واما بنوهم فاقامهم مكانهم. فاياهم ختن يشوع لانهم كانوا قلفا اذ لم يختنوهم في الطريق.
8 Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.	8 وكان بعدما انتهى جميع الشعب من الاختتان انهم اقاموا في اماكنهم في المحلّة حتى برئوا.
9 And the Lord said to Josue: This day have I taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. And the name of that place was called Galgal, until this present day.	9 وقال الرب ليشوع اليوم قد دحرجت عنكم عار مصر. فدعي اسم ذلك المكان الجلجال الى هذا اليوم
10 And the children of Israel abode in Galgal, and they kept the phase on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho:	10 فحلّ بنو اسرائيل في الجلجال وعملوا الفصح في اليوم الرابع عشر من الشهر مساء في عربات اريحا.
11 And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.	11 وأكلوا من غلة الارض في الغد بعد الفصح فطيرا وفريكا في نفس ذلك اليوم.
12 And the manna ceased after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan.	12 وانقطع المنّ في الغد عند اكلهم من غلّة الارض ولم يكن بعد لبني اسرائيل منّ. فاكلوا من محصول ارض كنعان في تلك السنة
13 And when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him: holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries?	13 وحدث لما كان يشوع عند اريحا انه رفع عينيه ونظر واذا برجل واقف قبالته وسيفه مسلول بيده. فسار يشوع اليه وقال له هل لنا انت او لاعدائنا.
14 And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come.	14 فقال كلا بل انا رئيس جند الرب. الآن أتيت. فسقط يشوع على وجهه الى الارض وسجد وقال له بماذا يكلم سيدي عبده.
15 Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What saith my lord to his servant?	15 فقال رئيس جند الرب ليشوع اخلع نعلك من رجلك لان المكان الذي انت واقف عليه هو مقدس. ففعل يشوع كذلك
16 Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
