Joshua 6

وَكَانَتْ أَرِيحَا مُغَلَّقَةً مُقَفَّلَةً بِسَبَبِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لاَ أَحَدٌ يَخْرُجُ وَلاَ أَحَدٌ يَدْخُلُ.

Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.

فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «انْظُرْ. قَدْ دَفَعْتُ بِيَدِكَ أَرِيحَا وَمَلِكَهَا، جَبَابِرَةَ الْبَأْسِ.

And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.

تَدُورُونَ دَائِرَةَ الْمَدِينَةِ، جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ. حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. هكَذَا تَفْعَلُونَ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ.

And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

وَسَبْعَةُ كَهَنَةٍ يَحْمِلُونَ أَبْوَاقَ الْهُتَافِ السَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ التَّابُوتِ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابعِ تَدُورُونَ دَائِرَةَ الْمَدِينَةِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَالْكَهَنَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ.

And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ امْتِدَادِ صَوْتِ قَرْنِ الْهُتَافِ، عِنْدَ اسْتِمَاعِكُمْ صَوْتَ الْبُوقِ، أَنَّ جَمِيعَ الشَّعْبِ يَهْتِفُ هُتَافًا عَظِيمًا، فَيَسْقُطُ سُورُ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَيَصْعَدُ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّ رَجُل مَعَ وَجْهِهِ».

And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

فَدَعَا يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونٍ الْكَهَنَةَ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «احْمِلُوا تَابُوتَ الْعَهْدِ. وَلْيَحْمِلْ سَبْعَةُ كَهَنَةٍ سَبْعَةَ أَبْوَاقِ هُتَافٍ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ».

And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.

وَقَالُوا لِلشَّعْبِ: «اجْتَازُوا وَدُورُوا دَائِرَةَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَلْيَجْتَزِ الْمُتَجَرِّدُ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ».

And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.

وَكَانَ كَمَا قَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلشَّعْبِ. اجْتَازَ السَّبْعَةُ الْكَهَنَةُ حَامِلِينَ أَبْوَاقَ الْهُتَافِ السَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَضَرَبُوا بِالأَبْوَاقِ. وَتَابُوتُ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ سَائِرٌ وَرَاءَهُمْ،

And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

وَكُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ سَائِرٌ أَمَامَ الْكَهَنَةِ الضَّارِبِينَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ. وَالسَّاقَةُ سَائِرَةٌ وَرَاءَ التَّابُوتِ. كَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ وَيَضْرِبُونَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ.

And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

وَأَمَرَ يَشُوعُ الشَّعْبَ قَائِلاً: «لاَ تَهْتِفُوا وَلاَ تُسَمِّعُوا صَوْتَكُمْ، وَلاَ تَخْرُجْ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمْ كَلِمَةٌ حَتَّى يَوْمَ أَقُولُ لَكُمُ: اهْتِفُوا. فَتَهْتِفُونَ».

And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.

فَدَارَ تَابُوتُ الرَّبِّ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا الْمَحَلَّةَ وَبَاتُوا فِي الْمَحَلَّةِ.

So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

فَبَكَّرَ يَشُوعُ فِي الْغَدِ، وَحَمَلَ الْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ،

And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

وَالسَّبْعَةُ الْكَهَنَةُ الْحَامِلُونَ أَبْوَاقَ الْهُتَافِ السَّبْعَةَ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ سَائِرُونَ سَيْرًا وَضَارِبُونَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ، وَالْمُتَجَرِّدُونَ سَائِرُونَ أَمَامَهُمْ، وَالْسَّاقَةُ سَائِرَةٌ وَرَاءَ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ. كَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ وَيَضْرِبُونَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ.

And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

وَدَارُوا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى الْمَحَلَّةِ. هكَذَا فَعَلُوا سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ.

And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.

وَكَانَ فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابعِ أَنَّهُمْ بَكَّرُوا عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ وَدَارُوا دَائِرَةَ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى هذَا الْمِنْوَالِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ. فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فَقَطْ دَارُوا دَائِرَةَ الْمَدِينَةِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ.

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

وَكَانَ فِي الْمَرَّةِ السَّابِعَةِ عِنْدَمَا ضَرَبَ الْكَهَنَةُ بِالأَبْوَاقِ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ قَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ: «اهْتِفُوا، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمُ الْمَدِينَةَ.

And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

فَتَكُونُ الْمَدِينَةُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهَا مُحَرَّمًا لِلرَّبِّ. رَاحَابُ الزَّانِيَةُ فَقَطْ تَحْيَا هِيَ وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَعَهَا فِي الْبَيْتِ، لأَنَّهَا قَدْ خَبَّأَتِ الْمُرْسَلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ أَرْسَلْنَاهُمَا.

And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَاحْتَرِزُوا مِنَ الْحَرَامِ لِئَلاَّ تُحَرَّمُوا، وَتَأْخُذُوا مِنَ الْحَرَامِ وَتَجْعَلُوا مَحَلَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُحَرَّمَةً وَتُكَدِّرُوهَا.

And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

وَكُلُّ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَآنِيَةِ النُّحَاسِ وَالْحَدِيدِ تَكُونُ قُدْسًا لِلرَّبِّ وَتَدْخُلُ فِي خِزَانَةِ الرَّبِّ».

But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.

فَهَتَفَ الشَّعْبُ وَضَرَبُوا بِالأَبْوَاقِ. وَكَانَ حِينَ سَمِعَ الشَّعْبُ صَوْتَ الْبُوقِ أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ هَتَفَ هُتَافًا عَظِيمًا، فَسَقَطَ السُّورُ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَصَعِدَ الشَّعْبُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ كُلُّ رَجُل مَعَ وَجْهِهِ، وَأَخَذُوا الْمَدِينَةَ.

So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

وَحَرَّمُوا كُلَّ مَا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ رَجُل وَامْرَأَةٍ، مِنْ طِفْل وَشَيْخٍ، حَتَّى الْبَقَرَ وَالْغَنَمَ وَالْحَمِيرَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ.

And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

وَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلرَّجُلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ تَجَسَّسَا الأَرْضَ: «ادْخُلاَ بَيْتَ الْمَرْأَةِ الزَّانِيَةِ وَأَخْرِجَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ الْمَرْأَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا كَمَا حَلَفْتُمَا لَهَا».

But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

فَدَخَلَ الْغُلاَمَانِ الْجَاسُوسَانِ وَأَخْرَجَا رَاحَابَ وَأَبَاهَا وَأُمَّهَا وَإِخْوَتَهَا وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا، وَأَخْرَجَا كُلَّ عَشَائِرِهَا وَتَرَكَاهُمْ خَارِجَ مَحَلَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.

وَأَحْرَقُوا الْمَدِينَةَ بِالنَّارِ مَعَ كُلِّ مَا بِهَا، إِنَّمَا الْفِضَّةُ وَالذَّهَبُ وَآنِيَةُ النُّحَاسِ وَالْحَدِيدِ جَعَلُوهَا فِي خِزَانَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

وَاسْتَحْيَا يَشُوعُ رَاحَابَ الزَّانِيَةَ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيهَا وَكُلَّ مَا لَهَا، وَسَكَنَتْ فِي وَسَطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ، لأَنَّهَا خَبَّأَتِ الْمُرْسَلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ أَرْسَلَهُمَا يَشُوعُ لِكَيْ يَتَجَسَّسَا أَرِيحَا.

And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

وَحَلَفَ يَشُوعُ فِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ قَائِلاً: «مَلْعُونٌ قُدَّامَ الرَّبِّ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَقُومُ وَيَبْنِي هذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ أَرِيحَا. بِبِكْرِهِ يُؤَسِّسُهَا وَبِصَغِيرِهِ يَنْصِبُ أَبْوَابَهَا».

And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ يَشُوعَ، وَكَانَ خَبَرُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ الأَرْضِ.

So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
