اَلْقُضَاة 11
| وَكَانَ يَفْتَاحُ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيُّ جَبَّارَ بَأْسٍ، وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ ٱمْرَأَةٍ زَانِيَةٍ. وَجِلْعَادُ وَلَدَ يَفْتَاحَ. | ١ 1 |
And Jephthae the Galaadite [was] a mighty man; and he [was] the son of a harlot, who bore Jephthae to Galaad.
| 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 the wife of Galaad bore him sons; and the sons of his wife grew up, and they cast out Jephthae, and said to him, You shall not inherit in the house of our father, for you are the son of a concubine.
| فَهَرَبَ يَفْتَاحُ مِنْ وَجْهِ إِخْوَتِهِ وَأَقَامَ فِي أَرْضِ طُوبٍ. فَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَى يَفْتَاحَ رِجَالٌ بَطَّالُونَ وَكَانُوا يَخْرُجُونَ مَعَهُ. | ٣ 3 |
And Jephthae fled from the face of his brethren, and lived in the land of Tob; and vain men gathered to Jephthae, and went out with him.
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ أَنَّ بَنِي عَمُّونَ حَارَبُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤ 4 |
And it came to pass when the children of Ammon prepared to fight with Israel,
| وَلَمَّا حَارَبَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ذَهَبَ شُيُوخُ جِلْعَادَ لِيَأْتُوا بِيَفْتَاحَ مِنْ أَرْضِ طُوبٍ. | ٥ 5 |
that the elders of Galaad went to fetch Jephthae from the land of Tob.
| وَقَالُوا لِيَفْتَاحَ: «تَعَالَ وَكُنْ لَنَا قَائِدًا فَنُحَارِبَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ». | ٦ 6 |
And they said to Jephthae, Come, and be our head, and we will fight with the sons of Ammon.
| فَقَالَ يَفْتَاحُ لِشُيُوخِ جِلْعَادَ: «أَمَا أَبْغَضْتُمُونِي أَنْتُمْ وَطَرَدْتُمُونِي مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي؟ فَلِمَاذَا أَتَيْتُمْ إِلَيَّ ٱلْآنَ إِذْ تَضَايَقْتُمْ؟» | ٧ 7 |
And Jephthae said to the elders of Galaad, Did you not hate me, and cast me out of my father's house, and banish me from you? and therefore are you come to me now when you lack me?
| 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 Galaad said to Jephthae, Therefore have we now turned to you, that you should go with us, and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Galaad.
| فَقَالَ يَفْتَاحُ لِشُيُوخِ جِلْعَادَ: «إِذَا أَرْجَعْتُمُونِي لِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَدَفَعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَامِي فَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ رَأْسًا». | ٩ 9 |
And Jephthae said to the elders of Galaad, If you turn me back to fight with the children of Ammon, and the Lord should deliver them before me, then will I be your head.
| فَقَالَ شُيُوخُ جِلْعَادَ لِيَفْتَاحَ: «ٱلرَّبُّ يَكُونُ سَامِعًا بَيْنَنَا إِنْ كُنَّا لَا نَفْعَلُ هَكَذَا حَسَبَ كَلَامِكَ». | ١٠ 10 |
And the elders of Galaad said to Jephthae, The Lord be witness between us, if we shall not do according to your word.
| فَذَهَبَ يَفْتَاحُ مَعَ شُيُوخِ جِلْعَادَ، وَجَعَلَهُ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَيْهِمْ رَأْسًا وَقَائِدًا. فَتَكَلَّمَ يَفْتَاحُ بِجَمِيعِ كَلَامِهِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ. | ١١ 11 |
And Jephthae went with the elders of Galaad, and the people made him head and ruler over them: and Jephthae spoke all his words before the Lord in Massepha.
| فَأَرْسَلَ يَفْتَاحُ رُسُلًا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ يَقُولُ: «مَا لِي وَلَكَ أَنَّكَ أَتَيْتَ إِلَيَّ لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ فِي أَرْضِي؟» | ١٢ 12 |
And Jephthae sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have I to do with you, that you have come against me to fight in 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 said to the messengers of Jephthae, Because Israel took my land when he went up out of Egypt, from Arnon to Jaboc, and to Jordan: now then return them peaceably and I will depart.
| وَعَادَ أَيْضًا يَفْتَاحُ وَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ | ١٤ 14 |
And Jephthae again sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon,
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ يَفْتَاحُ: لَمْ يَأْخُذْ إِسْرَائِيلُ أَرْضَ مُوآبَ وَلَا أَرْضَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، | ١٥ 15 |
and said to him, Thus says Jephthae, Israel took not 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 |
for in their going up out of Egypt Israel went in the wilderness as far as the sea of Siph, and came to Cades.
| 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 |
And Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, I will pass, if it please you, by your land: and the king of Edom complied not: and [Israel] also sent to the king of Moab, and he did not consent; and Israel sojourned in Cades.
| 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 |
And [they] journeyed in the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab: and they came by the east of the land of Moab, an encamped in the country beyond Arnon, and came not within the borders of Moab, for Arnon [is] 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 to Seon king of the Amorite, king of Esbon, and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray you, by your land to our place.
| وَلَمْ يَأْمَنْ سِيحُونُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْبُرَ فِي تُخْمِهِ، بَلْ جَمَعَ سِيحُونُ كُلَّ شَعْبِهِ وَنَزَلُوا فِي يَاهَصَ وَحَارَبُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And Seon did not trust Israel to pass by his coast; and Seon gathered all his people, and they encamped at Jasa; and he set the battle in array 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 God of Israel delivered Seon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck him; and Israel inherited all the land of the Amorite who lived in that land,
| فَٱمْتَلَكُوا كُلَّ تُخْمِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ مِنْ أَرْنُونَ إِلَى ٱلْيَبُّوقِ وَمِنَ ٱلْقَفْرِ إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
from Arnon and to Jaboc, and from the wilderness to Jordan.
| وَٱلْآنَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ طَرَدَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ مِنْ أَمَامِ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَفَأَنْتَ تَمْتَلِكُهُ؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
And now the Lord God of Israel has removed the Amorite from before his people Israel, and shall you inherit his [land]?
| أَلَيْسَ مَا يُمَلِّكُكَ إِيَّاهُ كَمُوشُ إِلَهُكَ تَمْتَلِكُ؟ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا مِنْ أَمَامِنَا فَإِيَّاهُمْ نَمْتَلِكُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Will you not inherit those possessions which Chamos your god shall cause you to inherit; and shall not we inherit the [land of] all those whom the Lord our God has removed from before you?
| وَٱلْآنَ فَهَلْ أَنْتَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَالَاقَ بْنِ صِفُّورَ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ؟ فَهَلْ خَاصَمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ حَارَبَهُمْ مُحَارَبَةً | ٢٥ 25 |
And now are you any better than Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab? did he indeed fight with Israel, or indeed make war with him,
| 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 |
when [Israel] lived in Esebon and in its coasts, and in the land of Aroer and in its coasts, and in all the cities by Jordan, three hundred years? and therefore did you not recover them in that time?
| فَأَنَا لَمْ أُخْطِئْ إِلَيْكَ. وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَإِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ بِي شَرًّا بِمُحَارَبَتِي. لِيَقْضِ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْقَاضِي ٱلْيَوْمَ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ». | ٢٧ 27 |
And now I have not sinned against you, but you wrong me in preparing war against me: may the Lord the Judge 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 |
But the king of the children of Ammon listened not to the words of Jephthae, which he sent to him.
| فَكَانَ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى يَفْتَاحَ، فَعَبَرَ جِلْعَادَ وَمَنَسَّى وَعَبَرَ مِصْفَاةَ جِلْعَادَ، وَمِنْ مِصْفَاةِ جِلْعَادَ عَبَرَ إِلَى بَنِي عَمُّونَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And the spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthae, and he passed over Galaad, and Manasse, and passed by the watch-tower of Galaad to the other side of the children of Ammon.
| وَنَذَرَ يَفْتَاحُ نَذْرًا لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «إِنْ دَفَعْتَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ لِيَدِي، | ٣٠ 30 |
And Jephthae vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If you will 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 come to pass that whoever shall first come out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, he shall be the Lord's: I will offer him up for a whole burnt offering.
| ثُمَّ عَبَرَ يَفْتَاحُ إِلَى بَنِي عَمُّونَ لِمُحَارَبَتِهِمْ. فَدَفَعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَدِهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And Jephthae advanced to meet the sons 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 struck them from Aroer till [one] comes to Arnon, in number twenty cities, and as far as Ebelcharmim, with a very great destruction: and the children of Ammon were straitened 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 Jephthae came to Massepha to his house; and behold, his daughter came forth to meet him with timbrels and dances; and she was his only child, he had not another son or 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 tore his garments, and said, Ah, ah, my daughter, you have indeed troubled me, and you were the cause of my trouble; and I have opened my mouth against you to the Lord, and I shall not be able to return from it.
| 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 to him, Father, have you opened your mouth to the Lord? Do to me accordingly as [the word] went out of your mouth, in that the Lord has wrought vengeance for you on your enemies 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 to her father, Let my father now do this thing: let me alone for two months, and I will go up and down on the mountains, and I will 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 went, and her companions, and she bewailed her virginity on 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 the two months that she returned to her father; and he performed upon her his vow which he vowed; and she knew no man:
| أَنَّ بَنَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَذْهَبْنَ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ لِيَنُحْنَ عَلَى بِنْتِ يَفْتَاحَ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيِّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ. | ٤٠ 40 |
and it was an ordinance in Israel, [That] the daughters of Israel went from year to year to bewail the daughter of Jephthae the Galaadite for four days in a year.
