Giosuè (يشوع) 5

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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	1 Therefore, after all the kings of the Amorites, who were living across the Jordan toward the western region, and all the kings of Canaan, who possessed the places beside the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel, until they crossed over it, their heart was broken, and there remained in them no spirit, out of fear at the entrance of the sons of Israel.
2 في ذلك الوقت قال الرب ليشوع اصنع لنفسك سكاكين من صوّان وعد فاختن بني اسرائيل ثانية.	2 So at that time, the Lord said to Joshua: “Make for yourself knives of stone, and circumcise the sons of Israel a second time.”
3 فصنع يشوع سكاكين من صوّان وختن بني اسرائيل في تل القلف.	3 He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
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.	4 Now this is the reason for the second circumcision: All the people who departed from Egypt of the male gender, all the men fit for war, died in the desert during the very long wandering way;
5 لان جميع الشعب الذين خرجوا كانوا مختونين. واما جميع الشعب الذين ولدوا في القفر على الطريق بخروجهم من مصر فلم يختنوا.	5 all these had been circumcised. But the people who were born in the desert,
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.	6 throughout the forty years of the journey in the very broad wilderness, were uncircumcised, until the ones who had not listened to the voice of the Lord were consumed. For he had sworn to them before, that he would not reveal to them the land flowing with milk and honey.
7 واما بنوهم فاقامهم مكانهم. فاياهم ختن يشوع لانهم كانوا قلفا اذ لم يختنوهم في الطريق.	7 The sons of these ones succeeded to the place of their fathers, and they were circumcised by Joshua. For they were uncircumcised, just as they had been born, and no one had circumcised them along the way.
8 وكان بعدما انتهى جميع الشعب من الاختتان انهم اقاموا في اماكنهم في المحلّة حتى برئوا.	8 Then, after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp until they were healed.
9 وقال الرب ليشوع اليوم قد دحرجت عنكم عار مصر. فدعي اسم ذلك المكان الجلجال الى هذا اليوم	9 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have taken away from you the disgrace of Egypt.” And the name of that place was called Gilgal, even to the present day.
10 فحلّ بنو اسرائيل في الجلجال وعملوا الفصح في اليوم الرابع عشر من الشهر مساء في عربات اريحا.	10 And the sons of Israel stayed at Gilgal, and they kept the Passover, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the plains of Jericho.
11 وأكلوا من غلة الارض في الغد بعد الفصح فطيرا وفريكا في نفس ذلك اليوم.	11 And on the following day, they ate unleavened bread from the grain of the land, and cooked grain, of the same year.
12 وانقطع المنّ في الغد عند اكلهم من غلّة الارض ولم يكن بعد لبني اسرائيل منّ. فاكلوا من محصول ارض كنعان في تلك السنة	12 And the manna ceased after they ate from the grain of the land. And the sons of Israel no longer made use of that food. Instead, they ate from the grain of the present year, from the land of Canaan.
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.	13 And when Joshua was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and he saw a man standing opposite him, holding a drawn sword. And he went to him and said, “Are you one of ours, or one of our adversaries?”
14 فقال كلا بل انا رئيس جند الرب. الآن أتيت. فسقط يشوع على وجهه الى الارض وسجد وقال له بماذا يكلم سيدي عبده.	14 And he responded: “Not at all. Instead, I am a prince of the host of the Lord, and now I have arrived.”
15 فقال رئيس جند الرب ليشوع اخلع نعلك من رجلك لان المكان الذي انت واقف عليه هو مقدس. ففعل يشوع كذلك	15 Joshua fell prone on the ground. And reverencing, he said, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
	16 He said: “Remove your shoes from your feet. For the place on which you stand is holy.” And Joshua did just as he had been commanded.
