¹وكان لما انتهى جميع الشعب من عبور الاردن ان الرب كلم يشوع قائلا.

¹And it came to pass when the whole nation had completely gone over the Jordan, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,

²انتخبوا من الشعب اثني عشر رجلا. رجلا واحدا من كل سبط

²Take you twelve men out of the people, one man out of every tribe,

³وامروهم قائلين. احملوا من هنا من وسط الاردن من موقف ارجل الكهنة راسخة اثني عشر حجرا وعبّروها معكم وضعوها في المبيت الذي تبيتون فيه الليلة

³and command them, saying, Take up hence out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge this night.

⁴فدعا يشوع الاثني عشر رجلا الذين عيّنهم من بني اسرائيل رجلا واحدا من كل سبط

⁴And Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had appointed of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe;

⁵وقال لهم يشوع اعبروا امام تابوت الرب الهكم الى وسط الاردن وارفعوا كل رجل حجرا واحدا على كتفه حسب عدد اسباط بني اسرائيل

⁵and Joshua said to them, Pass before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and lift up each of you a stone [and put it] upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,

⁶لكي تكون هذه علامة في وسطكم اذا سأل غدا بنوكم قائلين ما لكم وهذه الحجارة.

⁶that this may be a sign in your midst. When your children ask hereafter, saying, What mean ye by these stones?

⁷تقولون لهم ان مياه الاردن قد انفلقت امام تابوت عهد الرب. عند عبوره الاردن انفلقت مياه الاردن. فتكون هذه الحجارة تذكارا لبني اسرائيل الى الدهر.

⁷then ye shall say to them, That the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it went through the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.

⁸ففعل بنو اسرائيل هكذا كما امر يشوع وحملوا اثني عشر حجرا من وسط الاردن كما قال الرب ليشوع حسب عدد اسباط بني اسرائيل وعبّروها معهم الى المبيت ووضعوها هناك.

⁸And the children of Israel did so, as Joshua had commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging-place, and laid them down there.

⁹ونصب يشوع اثني عشر حجرا في وسط الاردن تحت موقف ارجل الكهنة حاملي تابوت العهد وهي هناك الى هذا اليوم.

⁹And twelve stones did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant had stood firm; and they are there to this day.

¹⁰والكهنة حاملو التابوت وقفوا في وسط الاردن حتى انتهى كل شيء امر الرب يشوع ان يكلم به الشعب حسب كل ما أمر به موسى يشوع. واسرع الشعب فعبروا.

¹⁰And the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. And the people hasted and passed over.

¹¹وكان لما انتهى كل الشعب من العبور انه عبر تابوت الرب والكهنة في حضرة الشعب.

¹¹And it came to pass, when all the people had completely gone over, that the ark of Jehovah went over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.

¹²وعبر بنو رأوبين وبنو جاد ونصف سبط منسّى متجهزين امام بني اسرائيل كما كلمهم موسى

¹²And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, went over in array before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.

¹³نحو اربعين الفا متجردين للجند عبروا امام الرب للحرب الى عربات اريحا

¹³About forty thousand armed for military service passed over before Jehovah to the war, unto the plains of Jericho.

¹⁴في ذلك اليوم عظّم الرب يشوع في اعين جميع اسرائيل فهابوه كما هابوا موسى كل ايام حياته

¹⁴On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.

¹⁵وكلم الرب يشوع قائلا

¹⁵And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,

¹⁶مر الكهنة حاملي تابوت الشهادة ان يصعدوا من الاردن.

¹⁶Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.

¹⁷فامر يشوع الكهنة قائلا اصعدوا من الاردن.

¹⁷And Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Come up out of the Jordan.

¹⁸فكان لما صعد الكهنة حاملو تابوت عهد الرب من وسط الاردن واجتذبت بطون اقدام الكهنة الى اليابسة ان مياه الاردن رجعت الى مكانها وجرت كما من قبل الى كل شطوطه.

¹⁸And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, [when] the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on to the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and they flowed as previously, over all its banks.

¹⁹وصعد الشعب من الاردن في اليوم العاشر من الشهر الاول وحلّوا في الجلجال في تخم اريحا الشرقي.

¹⁹And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the eastern extremity of Jericho.

²⁰والاثنا عشر حجرا التي اخذوها من الاردن نصبها يشوع في الجلجال.

²⁰And those twelve stones which they had taken out of the Jordan did Joshua set up in Gilgal.

²¹وكلم بني اسرائيل قائلا اذا سأل بنوكم غدا آباءهم قائلين ما هذه الحجارة

²¹And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children hereafter ask their fathers, saying, What [mean] these stones?

²²تعلمون بنيكم قائلين. على اليابسة عبر اسرائيل هذا الاردن.

²²then ye shall let your children know, saying, On dry land did Israel come over this Jordan;

²³لان الرب الهكم قد يبّس مياه الاردن من امامكم حتى عبرتم كما فعل الرب الهكم ببحر سوف الذي يبّسه من امامنا حتى عبرنا.

²³because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye had passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;

²⁴لكي تعلم جميع شعوب الارض يد الرب انها قوية لكي تخافوا الرب الهكم كل الايام

²⁴that all peoples of the earth might know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye might fear Jehovah your God continually.
