¹وعندما سمع جميع ملوك الاموريين الذين في عبر الاردن غربا وجميع ملوك الكنعانيين الذين على البحر ان الرب قد يبّس مياه الاردن من امام بني اسرائيل حتى عبرنا ذابت قلوبهم ولم تبق فيهم روح بعد من جراء بني اسرائيل

¹And it came to pass when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

²في ذلك الوقت قال الرب ليشوع اصنع لنفسك سكاكين من صوّان وعد فاختن بني اسرائيل ثانية.

²At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, Make thee stone-knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

³فصنع يشوع سكاكين من صوّان وختن بني اسرائيل في تل القلف.

³And Joshua made him stone-knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of Araloth.

⁴وهذا هو سبب ختن يشوع اياهم. ان جميع الشعب الخارجين من مصر الذكور جميع رجال الحرب ماتوا في البرية على الطريق بخروجهم من مصر.

⁴And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised [them]: all the people that had come out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

⁵لان جميع الشعب الذين خرجوا كانوا مختونين. واما جميع الشعب الذين ولدوا في القفر على الطريق بخروجهم من مصر فلم يختنوا.

⁵For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt, [them] had they not circumcised.

⁶لان بني اسرائيل ساروا اربعين سنة في القفر حتى فني جميع الشعب رجال الحرب الخارجين من مصر الذين لم يسمعوا لقول الرب الذين حلف الرب لهم انه لا يريهم الارض التي حلف الرب لآبائهم ان يعطينا اياها الارض التي تفيض لبنا وعسلا.

⁶For the children of Israel had walked forty years in the wilderness, till the whole nation of men of war had perished who had come out of Egypt, who had not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah; to whom Jehovah had sworn that he would not show them the land which Jehovah had sworn unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁷واما بنوهم فاقامهم مكانهم. فاياهم ختن يشوع لانهم كانوا قلفا اذ لم يختنوهم في الطريق.

⁷And their sons [whom] he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.

⁸وكان بعدما انتهى جميع الشعب من الاختتان انهم اقاموا في اماكنهم في المحلّة حتى برئوا.

⁸And it came to pass when the whole nation had finished being circumcised, that they abode in their place in the camp, till they were whole.

⁹وقال الرب ليشوع اليوم قد دحرجت عنكم عار مصر. فدعي اسم ذلك المكان الجلجال الى هذا اليوم

⁹And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And the name of the place was called Gilgal to this day.

¹⁰فحلّ بنو اسرائيل في الجلجال وعملوا الفصح في اليوم الرابع عشر من الشهر مساء في عربات اريحا.

¹⁰And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and held the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the plains of Jericho.

¹¹وأكلوا من غلة الارض في الغد بعد الفصح فطيرا وفريكا في نفس ذلك اليوم.

¹¹And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened loaves, and roasted [corn] on that same day.

¹²وانقطع المنّ في الغد عند اكلهم من غلّة الارض ولم يكن بعد لبني اسرائيل منّ. فاكلوا من محصول ارض كنعان في تلك السنة

¹²And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they had eaten of the old corn of the land; and there was no more manna for the children of Israel; and they ate of the produce of the land of Canaan that year.

¹³وحدث لما كان يشوع عند اريحا انه رفع عينيه ونظر واذا برجل واقف قبالته وسيفه مسلول بيده. فسار يشوع اليه وقال له هل لنا انت او لاعدائنا.

¹³And it came to pass when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there stood a man before him with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went to him, and said to him: Art thou for us, or for our enemies?

¹⁴فقال كلا بل انا رئيس جند الرب. الآن أتيت. فسقط يشوع على وجهه الى الارض وسجد وقال له بماذا يكلم سيدي عبده.

¹⁴And he said, No; for [as] captain of the army of Jehovah am I now come. Then Joshua fell upon his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

¹⁵فقال رئيس جند الرب ليشوع اخلع نعلك من رجلك لان المكان الذي انت واقف عليه هو مقدس. ففعل يشوع كذلك

¹⁵And the captain of Jehovah's army said to Joshua, Loose thy sandal from off thy foot: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
