Joshua 10

1 Now Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai and devoted it to destruction—doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king—and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.

1 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَدُونِي صَادَقَ مَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَايَ وَحَرَّمَهَا. كَمَا فَعَلَ بِأَرِيحَا وَمَلِكِهَا فَعَلَ بِعَايٍ وَمَلِكِهَا، وَأَنَّ سُكَّانَ جِبْعُونَ قَدْ صَالَحُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَانُوا فِي وَسَطِهِمْ،

2 So Adoni-zedek and his people were greatly alarmed, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

2 خَافَ جِدًّا، لِأَنَّ جِبْعُونَ مَدِينَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ كَإِحْدَى ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْمَلَكِيَّةِ، وَهِيَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ عَايٍ، وَكُلُّ رِجَالِهَا جَبَابِرَةٌ.

3 Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,

3 فَأَرْسَلَ أَدُونِي صَادَقَ مَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى هُوهَامَ مَلِكِ حَبْرُونَ، وَفِرْآمَ مَلِكِ يَرْمُوتَ، وَيَافِيعَ مَلِكِ لَخِيشَ، وَدَبِيرَ مَلِكِ عَجْلُونَ يَقُولُ:

4 “Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”

4 «ٱصْعَدُوا إِلَيَّ وَأَعِينُونِي، فَنَضْرِبَ جِبْعُونَ لِأَنَّهَا صَالَحَتْ يَشُوعَ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».

5 So the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before Gibeon and made war against it.

5 فَٱجْتَمَعَ مُلُوكُ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلْخَمْسَةُ: مَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَمَلِكُ حَبْرُونَ، وَمَلِكُ يَرْمُوتَ، وَمَلِكُ لَخِيشَ، وَمَلِكُ عَجْلُونَ، وَصَعِدُوا هُمْ وَكُلُّ جُيُوشِهِمْ وَنَزَلُوا عَلَى جِبْعُونَ وَحَارَبُوهَا.

6 Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”

6 فَأَرْسَلَ أَهْلُ جِبْعُونَ إِلَى يَشُوعَ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ يَقُولُونَ: «لَا تُرْخِ يَدَيْكَ عَنْ عَبِيدِكَ. ٱصْعَدْ إِلَيْنَا عَاجِلًا وَخَلِّصْنَا وَأَعِنَّا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْنَا جَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ».

7 So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.

7 فَصَعِدَ يَشُوعُ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ مَعَهُ وَكُلُّ جَبَابِرَةِ ٱلْبَأْسِ.

8 The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have delivered them into your hand. Not one of them shall stand against you.”

8 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «لَا تَخَفْهُمْ، لِأَنِّي بِيَدِكَ قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُهُمْ. لَا يَقِفُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ بِوَجْهِكَ».

9 After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.

9 فَأَتَى إِلَيْهِمْ يَشُوعُ بَغْتَةً. صَعِدَ ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ.

10 And the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the ascent to Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

10 فَأَزْعَجَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَضَرَبَهُمْ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً فِي جِبْعُونَ، وَطَرَدَهُمْ فِي طَرِيقِ عَقَبَةِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ، وَضَرَبَهُمْ إِلَى عَزِيقَةَ وَإِلَى مَقِّيدَةَ.

11 As they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.

11 وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ هَارِبُونَ مِنْ أَمَامِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهُمْ فِي مُنْحَدَرِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ، رَمَاهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِحِجَارَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى عَزِيقَةَ فَمَاتُوا. وَٱلَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِحِجَارَةِ ٱلْبَرَدِ هُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ.

12 On the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”

12 حِينَئِذٍ كَلَّمَ يَشُوعُ ٱلرَّبَّ، يَوْمَ أَسْلَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقَالَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «يَا شَمْسُ دُومِي عَلَى جِبْعُونَ، وَيَا قَمَرُ عَلَى وَادِي أَيَّلُونَ».

13 So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”

13 فَدَامَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَوَقَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ حَتَّى ٱنْتَقَمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ. أَلَيْسَ هَذَا مَكْتُوبًا فِي سِفْرِ يَاشَرَ؟ فَوَقَفَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ فِي كَبِدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَلَمْ تَعْجَلْ لِلْغُرُوبِ نَحْوَ يَوْمٍ كَامِلٍ.

14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man, because the LORD fought for Israel.

14 وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ سَمِعَ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ صَوْتَ إِنْسَانٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ حَارَبَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

15 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.

15 ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ.

16 Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.

16 فَهَرَبَ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْخَمْسَةُ ٱلْمُلُوكِ وَٱخْتَبَأُوا فِي مَغَارَةٍ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ.

17 And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”

17 فَأُخْبِرَ يَشُوعُ وَقيِلَ لَهُ: «قَدْ وُجِدَ ٱلْمُلُوكُ ٱلْخَمْسَةُ مُخْتَبِئِينَ فِي مَغَارَةٍ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ».

18 So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.

18 فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «دَحْرِجُوا حِجَارَةً عَظِيمَةً عَلَى فَمِ ٱلْمَغَارَةِ، وَأَقِيمُوا عَلَيْهَا رِجَالًا لِأَجْلِ حِفْظِهِمْ.

19 But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”

19 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلَا تَقِفُوا، بَلِ ٱسْعَوْا وَرَاءَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ وَٱضْرِبُوا مُؤَخَّرَهُمْ. لَا تَدَعُوهُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ مُدُنَهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ قَدْ أَسْلَمَهُمْ بِيَدِكُمْ».

20 So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.

20 وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى يَشُوعُ وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ ضَرْبِهِمْ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا حَتَّى فَنُوا، وَٱلشَّرَدُ ٱلَّذِينَ شَرَدُوا مِنْهُمْ دَخَلُوا ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلْمُحَصَّنَةَ.

21 The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.

21 رَجَعَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى يَشُوعَ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ بِسَلَامٍ. لَمْ يَسُنَّ أَحَدٌ لِسَانَهُ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

22 Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”

22 فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ: «ٱفْتَحُوا فَمَ ٱلْمَغَارَةِ وَأَخْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْخَمْسَةَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ مِنَ ٱلْمَغَارَةِ».

23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.

23 فَفَعَلُوا كَذَلِكَ، وَأَخْرَجُوا إِلَيْهِ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُلُوكَ ٱلْخَمْسَةَ مِنَ ٱلْمَغَارَةِ: مَلِكَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَمَلِكَ حَبْرُونَ، وَمَلِكَ يَرْمُوتَ، وَمَلِكَ لَخِيشَ، وَمَلِكَ عَجْلُونَ.

24 When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.

24 وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَخْرَجُوا أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُلُوكَ إِلَى يَشُوعَ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ دَعَا كُلَّ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقَالَ لِقُوَّادِ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَارُوا مَعَهُ: «تَقَدَّمُوا وَضَعُوا أَرْجُلَكُمْ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ». فَتَقَدَّمُوا وَوَضَعُوا أَرْجُلَهُمْ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ.

25 “Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”

25 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ: «لَا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَرْتَعِبُوا. تَشَدَّدُوا وَتَشَجَّعُوا. لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِجَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تُحَارِبُونَهُمْ».

26 After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.

26 وَضَرَبَهُمْ يَشُوعُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ وَعَلَّقَهُمْ عَلَى خَمْسِ خَشَبٍ، وَبَقُوا مُعَلَّقِينَ عَلَى ٱلْخَشَبِ حَتَّى ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

27 At sunset Joshua ordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.

27 وَكَانَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ أَمَرَ فَأَنْزَلُوهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْخَشَبِ وَطَرَحُوهُمْ فِي ٱلْمَغَارَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَبَأُوا فِيهَا، وَوَضَعُوا حِجَارَةً كَبِيرَةً عَلَى فَمِ ٱلْمَغَارةِ حَتَّى إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ.

28 On that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its king. He devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

28 وَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ مَقِّيدَةَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَضَرَبَهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَحَرَّمَ مَلِكَهَا هُوَ وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِدًا، وَفَعَلَ بِمَلِكِ مَقِّيدَةَ كَمَا فَعَلَ بِمَلِكِ أَرِيحَا.

29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.

29 ثُمَّ ٱجْتَازَ يَشُوعُ مِنْ مَقِّيدَةَ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى لِبْنَةَ، وَحَارَبَ لِبْنَةَ.

30 And the LORD also delivered that city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of Libnah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

30 فَدَفَعَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ هِيَ أَيْضًا بِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَ مَلِكِهَا، فَضَرَبَهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ بِهَا شَارِدًا، وَفَعَلَ بِمَلِكِهَا كَمَا فَعَلَ بِمَلِكِ أَرِيحَا.

31 And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.

31 ثُمَّ ٱجْتَازَ يَشُوعُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ لِبْنَةَ إِلَى لَخِيشَ وَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَحَارَبَهَا.

32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.

32 فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَخِيشَ بِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَخَذَهَا فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي وَضَرَبَهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ بِلِبْنَةَ.

33 At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.

33 حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ هُورَامُ مَلِكُ جَازَرَ لِإِعَانَةِ لَخِيشَ، وَضَرَبَهُ يَشُوعُ مَعَ شَعْبِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يُبْقِ لَهُ شَارِدًا.

34 So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.

34 ثُمَّ ٱجْتَازَ يَشُوعُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ لَخِيشَ إِلَى عَجْلُونَ فَنَزَلُوا عَلَيْهَا وَحَارَبُوهَا،

35 That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish.

35 وَأَخَذُوهَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَضَرَبُوهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَحَرَّمَ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ بِلَخِيشَ.

36 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.

36 ثُمَّ صَعِدَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ عَجْلُونَ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ وَحَارَبُوهَا،

37 They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.

37 وَأَخَذُوهَا وَضَرَبُوهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ مَعَ مَلِكِهَا وَكُلِّ مُدُنِهَا وَكُلِّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِدًا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ بِعَجْلُونَ، فَحَرَّمَهَا وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا.

38 Finally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.

38 ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى دَبِيرَ وَحَارَبَهَا،

39 And they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its king as he had done to Hebron and as he had done to Libnah and its king.

39 وَأَخَذَهَا مَعَ مَلِكِهَا وَكُلِّ مُدُنِهَا، وَضَرَبُوهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَحَرَّمُوا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِدًا، كَمَا فَعَلَ بِحَبْرُونَ كَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ بِدَبِيرَ وَمَلِكِهَا، وَكَمَا فَعَلَ بِلِبْنَةَ وَمَلِكِهَا.

40 So Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.

40 فَضَرَبَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ أَرْضِ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱلسَّهْلِ وَٱلسُّفُوحِ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِدًا، بَلْ حَرَّمَ كُلَّ نَسَمَةٍ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

41 Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.

41 فَضَرَبَهُمْ يَشُوعُ مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ إِلَى غَزَّةَ وَجَمِيعَ أَرْضِ جُوشِنَ إِلَى جِبْعُونَ.

42 And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.

42 وَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ جَمِيعَ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ وَأَرْضِهِمْ دُفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَارَبَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

43 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.

43 ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ.
