¹And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.

¹وصعد ملاك الرب من الجلجال الى بوكيم وقال. قد اصعدتكم من مصر وأتيت بكم الى الارض التي اقسمت لآبائكم وقلت لا انكث عهدي معكم الى الابد.

²And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?

²وانتم فلا تقطعوا عهدا مع سكان هذه الارض. اهدموا مذابحهم. ولم تسمعوا لصوتي. فماذا عملتم.

³Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

³فقلت ايضا لا اطردهم من امامكم بل يكونون لكم مضايقين وتكون آلهتهم لكم شركا.

⁴And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

⁴وكان لما تكلم ملاك الرب بهذا الكلام الى جميع بني اسرائيل ان الشعب رفعوا صوتهم وبكوا.

⁵And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.

⁵فدعوا اسم ذلك المكان بوكيم. وذبحوا هناك للرب

⁶And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.

⁶وصرف يشوع الشعب فذهب بنو اسرائيل كل واحد الى ملكه لاجل امتلاك الارض.

⁷And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.

⁷وعبد الشعب الرب كل ايام يشوع وكل ايام الشيوخ الذين طالت ايامهم بعد يشوع الذين رأوا كل عمل الرب العظيم الذي عمل لاسرائيل.

⁸And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

⁸ومات يشوع بن نون عبد الرب ابن مئة وعشر سنين.

⁹And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.

⁹فدفنوه في تخم ملكه في تمنة حارس في جبل افرايم شمالي جبل جاعش.

¹⁰And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

¹⁰وكل ذلك الجيل ايضا انضم الى آبائه وقام بعدهم جيل آخر لم يعرف الرب ولا العمل الذي عمل لاسرائيل

¹¹And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:

¹¹وفعل بنو اسرائيل الشر في عيني الرب وعبدوا البعليم

¹²And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

¹²وتركوا الرب اله آبائهم الذي اخرجهم من ارض مصر وساروا وراء آلهة اخرى من آلهة الشعوب الذين حولهم وسجدوا لها واغاظوا الرب.

¹³And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

¹³تركوا الرب وعبدوا البعل وعشتاروث.

¹⁴And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

¹⁴فحمي غضب الرب على اسرائيل فدفعهم بايدي ناهبين نهبوهم وباعهم بيد اعدائهم حولهم ولم يقدروا بعد على الوقوف امام اعدائهم.

¹⁵Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

¹⁵حيثما خرجوا كانت يد الرب عليهم للشر كما تكلم الرب وكما اقسم الرب لهم. فضاق بهم الامر جدا.

¹⁶Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

¹⁶واقام الرب قضاة فخلصوهم من يد ناهبيهم.

¹⁷And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.

¹⁷ولقضاتهم ايضا لم يسمعوا بل زنوا وراء آلهة اخرى وسجدوا لها. حادوا سريعا عن الطريق التي سار بها آباؤهم لسمع وصايا الرب. لم يفعلوا هكذا.

¹⁸And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.

¹⁸وحينما اقام الرب لهم قضاة كان الرب مع القاضي وخلّصهم من يد اعدائهم كل ايام القاضي. لان الرب ندم من اجل انينهم بسبب مضايقيهم وزاحميهم.

¹⁹And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

¹⁹وعند موت القاضي كانوا يرجعون ويفسدون اكثر من آبائهم بالذهاب وراء آلهة اخرى ليعبدوها ويسجدوا لها. لم يكفّوا عن افعالهم وطريقهم القاسية.

²⁰And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

²⁰فحمي غضب الرب على اسرائيل وقال من اجل ان هذا الشعب قد تعدّوا عهدي الذي اوصيت به آباءهم ولم يسمعوا لصوتي

²¹I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

²¹فانا ايضا لا اعود اطرد انسانا من امامهم من الامم الذين تركهم يشوع عند موته

²²That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

²²لكي امتحن بهم اسرائيل أيحفظون طريق الرب ليسلكوا بها كما حفظها آباؤهم ام لا.

²³Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

²³فترك الرب اولئك الامم ولم يطردهم سريعا ولم يدفعهم بيد يشوع
