Joshua 1

وَكَانَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ مُوسَى عَبْدِ الرَّبِّ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَلَّمَ يَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونٍ خَادِمَ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

«مُوسَى عَبْدِي قَدْ مَاتَ. فَالآنَ قُمُِ اعْبُرْ هذَا الأُرْدُنَّ أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ هذَا الشَّعْبِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنَا مُعْطِيهَا لَهُمْ أَيْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

كُلَّ مَوْضِعٍ تَدُوسُهُ بُطُونُ أَقْدَامِكُمْ لَكُمْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ، كَمَا كَلَّمْتُ مُوسَى.

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

مِنَ الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَلُبْنَانَ هذَا إِلَى النَّهْرِ الْكَبِيرِ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ، جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ الْحِثِّيِّينَ، وَإِلَى الْبَحْرِ الْكَبِيرِ نَحْوَ مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ يَكُونُ تُخْمُكُمْ.

From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

لاَ يَقِفُ إِنْسَانٌ فِي وَجْهِكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ. كَمَا كُنْتُ مَعَ مُوسَى أَكُونُ مَعَكَ. لاَ أُهْمِلُكَ وَلاَ أَتْرُكُكَ.

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَقْسِمُ لِهذَا الشَّعْبِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي حَلَفْتُ لآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُمْ.

Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

إِنَّمَا كُنْ مُتَشَدِّدًا، وَتَشَجَّعْ جِدًّا لِكَيْ تَتَحَفَّظَ لِلْعَمَلِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتِي أَمَرَكَ بِهَا مُوسَى عَبْدِي. لاَ تَمِلْ عَنْهَا يَمِينًا وَلاَ شِمَالاً لِكَيْ تُفْلِحَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ.

Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

لاَ يَبْرَحْ سِفْرُ هذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ مِنْ فَمِكَ، بَلْ تَلْهَجُ فِيهِ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلاً، لِكَيْ تَتَحَفَّظَ لِلْعَمَلِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهِ. لأَنَّكَ حِينَئِذٍ تُصْلِحُ طَرِيقَكَ وَحِينَئِذٍ تُفْلِحُ.

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

أَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ؟ تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ! لاَ تَرْهَبْ وَلاَ تَرْتَعِبْ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ مَعَكَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ».

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

فَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ عُرَفَاءَ الشَّعْبِ قَائِلاً:

Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

«جُوزُوا فِي وَسَطِ الْمَحَلَّةِ وَأْمُرُوا الشَّعْبَ قَائِلِينَ: هَيِّئُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ زَادًا، لأَنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ تَعْبُرُونَ الأُرْدُنَّ هذَا لِكَيْ تَدْخُلُوا فَتَمْتَلِكُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يُعْطِيكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكُمْ لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا».

Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.

ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ يَشُوعُ الرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْجَادِيِّينَ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى قَائِلاً:

And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,

«اذْكُرُوا الْكَلاَمَ الَّذِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِهِ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: الرَّبُّ إِلهُكُمْ قَدْ أَرَاحَكُمْ وَأَعْطَاكُمْ هذِهِ الأَرْضَ.

Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.

نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ تَلْبَثُ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْبُرُونَ مُتَجَهِّزِينَ أَمَامَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ، كُلُّ الأَبْطَالِ ذَوِي الْبَأْسِ، وَتُعِينُونَهُمْ

Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;

حَتَّى يُرِيحَ الرَّبُّ إِخْوَتَكُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ، وَيَمْتَلِكُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يُعْطِيهِمُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكُمْ. ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِيرَاثِكُمْ وَتَمْتَلِكُونَهَا، الَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ شُرُوقِ الشَّمْسِ».

Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.

فَأَجَابُوا يَشُوعَ قَائِلِينَ: «كُلَّ مَا أَمَرْتَنَا بِهِ نَعْمَلُهُ، وَحَيْثُمَا تُرْسِلْنَا نَذْهَبْ.

And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.

حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا سَمِعْنَا لِمُوسَى نَسْمَعُ لَكَ. إِنَّمَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ يَكُونُ مَعَكَ كَمَا كَانَ مَعَ مُوسَى.

According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَعْصَى قَوْلَكَ وَلاَ يَسْمَعُ كَلاَمَكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَأْمُرُهُ بِهِ يُقْتَلُ. إِنَّمَا كُنْ مُتَشَدِّدًا وَتَشَجَّعْ».

Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
