اَلْقُضَاة 10

١ 1 وَقَامَ بَعْدَ أَبِيمَالِكَ لِتَخْلِيصِ إِسْرَائِيلَ تُولَعُ بْنُ فُوَاةَ بْنِ دُودُو، رَجُلٌ مِنْ يَسَّاكَرَ، كَانَ سَاكِنًا فِي شَامِيرَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ.

After Abimelech there arose to defend Israel, Tola, the sonne of Puah, the sone of Dodo, a man of Issachar, which dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.

٢ 2 فَقَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ ثَلَاثًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَمَاتَ وَدُفِنَ فِي شَامِيرَ.

And he iudged Israel three and twentie yeere and dyed, and was buried in Shamir.

٣ 3 ثُمَّ قَامَ بَعْدَهُ يَائِيرُ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيُّ، فَقَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

And after him arose Iair a Gileadite, and iudged Israel two and twenty yeere.

٤ 4 وَكَانَ لَهُ ثَلَاثُونَ وَلَدًا يَرْكَبُونَ عَلَى ثَلَاثِينَ جَحْشًا، وَلَهُمْ ثَلَاثُونَ مَدِينَةً. مِنْهُمْ يَدْعُونَهَا «حَوُّوثَ يَائِيرَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. هِيَ فِي أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ.

And he had thirtie sonnes that rode on thirtie assecolts, and they had thirtie cities, which are called Hauoth-Iair vnto this day, and are in the land of Gilead.

٥ 5 وَمَاتَ يَائِيرُ وَدُفِنَ فِي قَامُونَ.

And Iair dyed, and was buried in Kamon.

٦ 6 وَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ وَٱلْعَشْتَارُوثَ وَآلِهَةَ أَرَامَ وَآلِهَةَ صِيدُونَ وَآلِهَةَ مُوآبَ وَآلِهَةَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَآلِهَةَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَتَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَلَمْ يَعْبُدُوهُ.

And the children of Israel wrought wickednesse againe in the sight of the Lord, and serued Baalim and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistims, and forsooke the Lord and serued not him.

٧ 7 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَاعَهُمْ بِيَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَبِيَدِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.

Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he solde them into the hands of the Philistims, and into the handes of the children of Ammon:

٨ 8 فَحَطَّمُوا وَرَضَّضُوا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ. ثَمَانِي عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً. جَمِيعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي جِلْعَادَ.

Who from that yere vexed and oppressed the children of Israel eighteene yeres, euen all the children of Israel that were beyond Iorden, in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.

٩ 9 وَعَبَرَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ لِيُحَارِبُوا أَيْضًا يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ وَبَيْتَ أَفْرَايِمَ. فَتَضَايَقَ إِسْرَائِيلُ جِدًّا.

Moreouer, the children of Ammon went ouer Iorden to fight against Iudah, and against Beniamin, and against the house of Ephraim: so that Israel was sore tormented.

١٠ 10 فَصَرَخَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْكَ لِأَنَّنَا تَرَكْنَا إِلَهَنَا وَعَبَدْنَا ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ».

Then the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord, saying, We haue sinned against thee, euen because we haue forsaken our owne God, and haue serued Baalim.

١١ 11 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَلَيْسَ مِنَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ خَلَّصْتُكُمْ؟

And the Lord sayd vnto the children of Israel, Did not I deliuer you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon and from the Philistims?

١٢ 12 وَٱلصِّيدُونِيُّونَ وَٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ وَٱلْمَعُونِيُّونَ قَدْ ضَايَقُوكُمْ فَصَرَخْتُمْ إِلَيَّ فَخَلَّصْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ؟

The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites did oppresse you, and ye cryed to me and I saued you out of their hands.

١٣ 13 وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ تَرَكْتُمُونِي وَعَبَدْتُمْ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى. لِذَلِكَ لَا أَعُودُ أُخَلِّصُكُمْ.

Yet ye haue forsaken me, and serued other gods: wherefore I will deliuer you no more.

١٤ 14 اِمْضُوا وَٱصْرُخُوا إِلَى ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُمُوهَا، لِتُخَلِّصَكُمْ هِيَ فِي زَمَانِ ضِيقِكُمْ».

Goe, and cry vnto the gods which ye haue chosen: let them saue you in the time of your tribulation.

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَخْطَأْنَا، فَٱفْعَلْ بِنَا كُلَّ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ. إِنَّمَا أَنْقِذْنَا هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ».

And the children of Israel sayde vnto the Lord, We haue sinned: doe thou vnto vs whatsoeuer please thee: onely we pray thee to deliuer vs this day.

١٦ 16 وَأَزَالُوا ٱلْآلِهَةَ ٱلْغَرِيبَةَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، فَضَاقَتْ نَفْسُهُ بِسَبَبِ مَشَقَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Then they put away the strange gods from among them and serued the Lord: and his soule was grieued for the miserie of Israel.

١٧ 17 فَٱجْتَمَعَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي جِلْعَادَ، وَٱجْتَمَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ.

Then the children of Ammon gathered themselues together, and pitched in Gilead: and the children of Israel assembled themselues, and pitched in Mizpeh.

١٨ 18 فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ رُؤَسَاءُ جِلْعَادَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ لِصَاحِبِهِ: «أَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَبْتَدِئُ بِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ؟ فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ رَأْسًا لِجَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ جِلْعَادَ».

And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, Whosoeuer will beginne the battell against the children of Ammon, the same shall be head ouer all the inhabitants of Gilead.
