اَلْقُضَاة 11
| وَكَانَ يَفْتَاحُ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيُّ جَبَّارَ بَأْسٍ، وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ ٱمْرَأَةٍ زَانِيَةٍ. وَجِلْعَادُ وَلَدَ يَفْتَاحَ. | ١ 1 |
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead begot Jephthah.
| ثُمَّ وَلَدَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ جِلْعَادَ لَهُ بَنِينَ. فَلَمَّا كَبِرَ بَنُو ٱلْمَرْأَةِ طَرَدُوا يَفْتَاحَ، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لَا تَرِثْ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِينَا لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱبْنُ ٱمْرَأَةٍ أُخْرَى». | ٢ 2 |
And Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said unto him: 'Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of another woman.'
| فَهَرَبَ يَفْتَاحُ مِنْ وَجْهِ إِخْوَتِهِ وَأَقَامَ فِي أَرْضِ طُوبٍ. فَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَى يَفْتَاحَ رِجَالٌ بَطَّالُونَ وَكَانُوا يَخْرُجُونَ مَعَهُ. | ٣ 3 |
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob; and there were gathered vain fellows to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ أَنَّ بَنِي عَمُّونَ حَارَبُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤ 4 |
And it came to pass after a while, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
| وَلَمَّا حَارَبَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ذَهَبَ شُيُوخُ جِلْعَادَ لِيَأْتُوا بِيَفْتَاحَ مِنْ أَرْضِ طُوبٍ. | ٥ 5 |
And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob.
| وَقَالُوا لِيَفْتَاحَ: «تَعَالَ وَكُنْ لَنَا قَائِدًا فَنُحَارِبَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ». | ٦ 6 |
And they said unto Jephthah: 'Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.'
| فَقَالَ يَفْتَاحُ لِشُيُوخِ جِلْعَادَ: «أَمَا أَبْغَضْتُمُونِي أَنْتُمْ وَطَرَدْتُمُونِي مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي؟ فَلِمَاذَا أَتَيْتُمْ إِلَيَّ ٱلْآنَ إِذْ تَضَايَقْتُمْ؟» | ٧ 7 |
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead: 'Did not ye hate me, and drive me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?'
| فَقَالَ شُيُوخُ جِلْعَادَ لِيَفْتَاحَ: «لِذَلِكَ قَدْ رَجَعْنَا ٱلْآنَ إِلَيْكَ لِتَذْهَبَ مَعَنَا وَتُحَارِبَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَتَكُونَ لَنَا رَأْسًا لِكُلِّ سُكَّانِ جِلْعَادَ». | ٨ 8 |
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah: 'Therefore are we returned to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight with the children of Ammon, and thou shalt be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.'
| فَقَالَ يَفْتَاحُ لِشُيُوخِ جِلْعَادَ: «إِذَا أَرْجَعْتُمُونِي لِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَدَفَعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَامِي فَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ رَأْسًا». | ٩ 9 |
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead: 'If ye bring me back home to fight with the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, I will be your head.'
| فَقَالَ شُيُوخُ جِلْعَادَ لِيَفْتَاحَ: «ٱلرَّبُّ يَكُونُ سَامِعًا بَيْنَنَا إِنْ كُنَّا لَا نَفْعَلُ هَكَذَا حَسَبَ كَلَامِكَ». | ١٠ 10 |
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah: 'The LORD shall be witness between us; surely according to thy word so will we do.'
| فَذَهَبَ يَفْتَاحُ مَعَ شُيُوخِ جِلْعَادَ، وَجَعَلَهُ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَيْهِمْ رَأْسًا وَقَائِدًا. فَتَكَلَّمَ يَفْتَاحُ بِجَمِيعِ كَلَامِهِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ. | ١١ 11 |
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD in Mizpah.
| فَأَرْسَلَ يَفْتَاحُ رُسُلًا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ يَقُولُ: «مَا لِي وَلَكَ أَنَّكَ أَتَيْتَ إِلَيَّ لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ فِي أَرْضِي؟» | ١٢ 12 |
And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying: 'What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come unto me to fight against my land?'
| فَقَالَ مَلِكُ بَنِي عَمُّونَ لِرُسُلِ يَفْتَاحَ: «لِأَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ أَخَذَ أَرْضِي عِنْدَ صُعُودِهِ مِنْ مِصْرَ، مِنْ أَرْنُونَ إِلَى ٱلْيَبُّوقِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. فَٱلْآنَ رُدَّهَا بِسَلَامٍ». | ١٣ 13 |
And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah: 'Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and unto the Jordan; now therefore restore those cities peaceably.'
| وَعَادَ أَيْضًا يَفْتَاحُ وَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ | ١٤ 14 |
And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon;
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ يَفْتَاحُ: لَمْ يَأْخُذْ إِسْرَائِيلُ أَرْضَ مُوآبَ وَلَا أَرْضَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، | ١٥ 15 |
and he said unto him: 'Thus saith Jephthah: Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon.
| لِأَنَّهُ عِنْدَ صُعُودِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ سَارَ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ إِلَى بَحْرِ سُوفٍ وَأَتَى إِلَى قَادَشَ. | ١٦ 16 |
But when they came up from Egypt, and Israel walked through the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;
| وَأَرْسَلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ رُسُلًا إِلَى مَلِكِ أَدُومَ قَائِلًا: دَعْنِي أَعْبُرْ فِي أَرْضِكَ. فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ مَلِكُ أَدُومَ. فَأَرْسَلَ أَيْضًا إِلَى مَلِكِ مُوآبَ فَلَمْ يَرْضَ. فَأَقَامَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي قَادَشَ. | ١٧ 17 |
then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying: Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land; but the king of Edom hearkened not. And in like manner he sent unto the king of Moab; but he would not; and Israel abode in Kadesh.
| وَسَارَ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ وَدَارَ بِأَرْضِ أَدُومَ وَأَرْضِ مُوآبَ وَأَتَى مِنْ مَشْرِقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ إِلَى أَرْضِ مُوآبَ وَنَزَلَ فِي عَبْرِ أَرْنُونَ، وَلَمْ يَأْتُوا إِلَى تُخْمِ مُوآبَ لِأَنَّ أَرْنُونَ تُخْمُ مُوآبَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Then he walked through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they pitched on the other side of the Arnon; but they came not within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ رُسُلًا إِلَى سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ، مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ، وَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ: دَعْنِي أَعْبُرْ فِي أَرْضِكَ إِلَى مَكَانِي. | ١٩ 19 |
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him: Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my place.
| وَلَمْ يَأْمَنْ سِيحُونُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْبُرَ فِي تُخْمِهِ، بَلْ جَمَعَ سِيحُونُ كُلَّ شَعْبِهِ وَنَزَلُوا فِي يَاهَصَ وَحَارَبُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
| فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ سِيحُونَ وَكُلَّ شَعْبِهِ لِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَضَرَبُوهُمْ، وَٱمْتَلَكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ كُلَّ أَرْضِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ سُكَّانِ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And the LORD, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them; so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
| فَٱمْتَلَكُوا كُلَّ تُخْمِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ مِنْ أَرْنُونَ إِلَى ٱلْيَبُّوقِ وَمِنَ ٱلْقَفْرِ إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And they possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan.
| وَٱلْآنَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ طَرَدَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ مِنْ أَمَامِ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَفَأَنْتَ تَمْتَلِكُهُ؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
So now the LORD, the God of Israel, hath dispossessed the Amorites from before His people Israel, and shouldest thou possess them?
| أَلَيْسَ مَا يُمَلِّكُكَ إِيَّاهُ كَمُوشُ إِلَهُكَ تَمْتَلِكُ؟ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا مِنْ أَمَامِنَا فَإِيَّاهُمْ نَمْتَلِكُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God hath dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.
| وَٱلْآنَ فَهَلْ أَنْتَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَالَاقَ بْنِ صِفُّورَ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ؟ فَهَلْ خَاصَمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ حَارَبَهُمْ مُحَارَبَةً | ٢٥ 25 |
And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
| حِينَ أَقَامَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي حَشْبُونَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَعَرُوعِيرَ وَقُرَاهَا وَكُلِّ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى جَانِبِ أَرْنُونَ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ؟ فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تَسْتَرِدَّهَا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْمُدَّةِ؟ | ٢٦ 26 |
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years; wherefore did ye not recover them within that time?
| فَأَنَا لَمْ أُخْطِئْ إِلَيْكَ. وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَإِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ بِي شَرًّا بِمُحَارَبَتِي. لِيَقْضِ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْقَاضِي ٱلْيَوْمَ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ». | ٢٧ 27 |
I therefore have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me; the LORD, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.'
| فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ مَلِكُ بَنِي عَمُّونَ لِكَلَامِ يَفْتَاحَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
| فَكَانَ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى يَفْتَاحَ، فَعَبَرَ جِلْعَادَ وَمَنَسَّى وَعَبَرَ مِصْفَاةَ جِلْعَادَ، وَمِنْ مِصْفَاةِ جِلْعَادَ عَبَرَ إِلَى بَنِي عَمُّونَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Then the spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
| وَنَذَرَ يَفْتَاحُ نَذْرًا لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «إِنْ دَفَعْتَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ لِيَدِي، | ٣٠ 30 |
And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said: 'If Thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,
| فَٱلْخَارِجُ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِي لِلِقَائِي عِنْدَ رُجُوعِي بِٱلسَّلَامَةِ مِنْ عِنْدِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ يَكُونُ لِلرَّبِّ، وَأُصْعِدُهُ مُحْرَقَةً». | ٣١ 31 |
then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt-offering.'
| ثُمَّ عَبَرَ يَفْتَاحُ إِلَى بَنِي عَمُّونَ لِمُحَارَبَتِهِمْ. فَدَفَعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَدِهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hand.
| فَضَرَبَهُمْ مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ إِلَى مَجِيئِكَ إِلَى مِنِّيتَ، عِشْرِينَ مَدِينَةً، وَإِلَى آبَلِ ٱلْكُرُومِ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا. فَذَلَّ بَنُو عَمُّونَ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto Abel-cheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
| ثُمَّ أَتَى يَفْتَاحُ إِلَى ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَإِذَا بِٱبْنَتِهِ خَارِجَةً لِلِقَائِهِ بِدُفُوفٍ وَرَقْصٍ. وَهِيَ وَحِيدَةٌ. لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ٱبْنٌ وَلَا ٱبْنَةٌ غَيْرَهَا. | ٣٤ 34 |
And Jephthah came to Mizpah unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances; and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَآهَا أَنَّهُ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَقَالَ: «آهِ يَا بِنْتِي! قَدْ أَحْزَنْتِنِي حُزْنًا وَصِرْتِ بَيْنَ مُكَدِّرِيَّ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ فَتَحْتُ فَمِي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَا يُمْكِنُنِي ٱلرُّجُوعُ». | ٣٥ 35 |
And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said: 'Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art become my troubler; for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.'
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «يَا أَبِي، هَلْ فَتَحْتَ فَاكَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ؟ فَٱفْعَلْ بِي كَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ فِيكَ، بِمَا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدِ ٱنْتَقَمَ لَكَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ». | ٣٦ 36 |
And she said unto him: 'My father, thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD; do unto me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.'
| ثُمَّ قَالَتْ لِأَبِيهَا: «فَلْيُفْعَلْ لِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ: ٱتْرُكْنِي شَهْرَيْنِ فَأَذْهَبَ وَأَنْزِلَ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ وَأَبْكِيَ عَذْرَاوِيَّتِي أَنَا وَصَاحِبَاتِي». | ٣٧ 37 |
And she said unto her father: 'Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may depart and go down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.'
| فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبِي». وَأَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى شَهْرَيْنِ. فَذَهَبَتْ هِيَ وَصَاحِبَاتُهَا وَبَكَتْ عَذْرَاوِيَّتَهَا عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
And he said: 'Go.' And he sent her away for two months; and she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
| وَكَانَ عِنْدَ نِهَايَةِ ٱلشَّهْرَيْنِ أَنَّهَا رَجَعَتْ إِلَى أَبِيهَا، فَفَعَلَ بِهَا نَذْرَهُ ٱلَّذِي نَذَرَ. وَهِيَ لَمْ تَعْرِفْ رَجُلًا. فَصَارَتْ عَادَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ | ٣٩ 39 |
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed; and she had not known man. And it was a custom in Israel,
| أَنَّ بَنَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَذْهَبْنَ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ لِيَنُحْنَ عَلَى بِنْتِ يَفْتَاحَ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيِّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ. | ٤٠ 40 |
that the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
