اَلْقُضَاة 14
| وَنَزَلَ شَمْشُونُ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ، وَرَأَى ٱمْرَأَةً فِي تِمْنَةَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ١ 1 |
And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
| فَصَعِدَ وَأَخْبَرَ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ٱمْرَأَةً فِي تِمْنَةَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَٱلْآنَ خُذَاهَا لِيَ ٱمْرَأَةً». | ٢ 2 |
And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُوهُ وَأُمُّهُ: «أَلَيْسَ فِي بَنَاتِ إِخْوَتِكَ وَفِي كُلِّ شَعْبِي ٱمْرَأَةٌ حَتَّى أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ لِتَأْخُذَ ٱمْرَأَةً مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱلْغُلْفِ؟» فَقَالَ شَمْشُونُ لِأَبِيهِ: «إِيَّاهَا خُذْ لِي لِأَنَّهَا حَسُنَتْ فِي عَيْنَيَّ». | ٣ 3 |
Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
| وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَبُوهُ وَأُمُّهُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَطْلُبُ عِلَّةً عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ كَانَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ مُتَسَلِّطِينَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤ 4 |
But his father and his mother knew not that it was of Jehovah; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
| فَنَزَلَ شَمْشُونُ وَأَبُوهُ وَأُمُّهُ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ، وَأَتَوْا إِلَى كُرُومِ تِمْنَةَ. وَإِذَا بِشِبْلِ أَسَدٍ يُزَمْجِرُ لِلِقَائِهِ. | ٥ 5 |
Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
| فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَشَقَّهُ كَشَقِّ ٱلْجَدْيِ، وَلَيْسَ فِي يَدِهِ شَيْءٌ. وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ بِمَا فَعَلَ. | ٦ 6 |
And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid; and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
| فَنَزَلَ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ فَحَسُنَتْ فِي عَيْنَيْ شَمْشُونَ. | ٧ 7 |
And he went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
| وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ لِكَيْ يَأْخُذَهَا، مَالَ لِكَيْ يَرَى رِمَّةَ ٱلْأَسَدِ، وَإِذَا دَبْرٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّحْلِ فِي جَوْفِ ٱلْأَسَدِ مَعَ عَسَلٍ. | ٨ 8 |
And after a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
| فَٱشْتَارَ مِنْهُ عَلَى كَفَّيْهِ، وَكَانَ يَمْشِي وَيَأْكُلُ، وَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَأَعْطَاهُمَا فَأَكَلَا، وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْهُمَا أَنَّهُ مِنْ جَوْفِ ٱلْأَسَدِ ٱشْتَارَ ٱلْعَسَلَ. | ٩ 9 |
And he took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went; and he came to his father and mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat: but he told them not that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
| وَنَزَلَ أَبُوهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، فَعَمِلَ هُنَاكَ شَمْشُونُ وَلِيمَةً، لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ٱلْفِتْيَانُ. | ١٠ 10 |
And his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
| فَلَمَّا رَأُوهُ أَحْضَرُوا ثَلَاثِينَ مِنَ ٱلْأَصْحَابِ، فَكَانُوا مَعَهُ. | ١١ 11 |
And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «لَأُحَاجِيَنَّكُمْ أُحْجِيَّةً، فَإِذَا حَلَلْتُمُوهُا لِي فِي سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامِ ٱلْوَلِيمَةِ وَأَصَبْتُمُوهَا، أُعْطِيكُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ قَمِيصًا وَثَلَاثِينَ حُلَّةَ ثِيَابٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
And Samson said unto them, Let me now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can declare it unto me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment;
| وَإِنْ لَمْ تَقْدِرُوا أَنْ تَحُلُّوهَا لِي، تُعْطُونِي أَنْتُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ قَمِيصًا وَثَلَاثِينَ حُلَّةَ ثِيَابٍ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «حَاجِ أُحْجِيَّتَكَ فَنَسْمَعَهَا». | ١٣ 13 |
but if ye cannot declare it unto me, then shall ye give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مِنَ ٱلْآكِلِ خَرَجَ أُكْلٌ، وَمِنَ ٱلْجَافِي خَرَجَتْ حَلَاوَةٌ». فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يَحُلُّوا ٱلأُحْجِيَّةَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth food, And out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days declare the riddle.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لِٱمْرَأَةِ شَمْشُونَ: «تَمَلَّقِي رَجُلَكِ لِكَيْ يُظْهِرَ لَنَا ٱلأُحْجِيَّةَ، لِئَلَّا نُحْرِقَكِ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكِ بِنَارٍ. أَلِتَسْلِبُونَا دَعَوْتُمُونَا أَمْ لَا؟» | ١٥ 15 |
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to impoverish us? is it not [so]?
| فَبَكَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ شَمْشُونَ لَدَيْهِ وَقَالَتْ: «إِنَّمَا كَرِهْتَنِي وَلَا تُحِبُّنِي. قَدْ حَاجَيْتَ بَنِي شَعْبِي أُحْجِيَّةً وَإِيَّايَ لَمْ تُخْبِرْ». فَقَالَ لَهَا: «هُوَذَا أَبِي وَأُمِّي لَمْ أُخْبِرْهُمَا، فَهَلْ إِيَّاكِ أُخْبِرُ؟». | ١٦ 16 |
And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?
| فَبَكَتْ لَدَيْهِ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا كَانَتْ لَهُمُ ٱلْوَلِيمَةُ. وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهَا لِأَنَّهَا ضَايَقَتْهُ، فَأَظْهَرَتِ ٱلأُحْجِيَّةَ لِبَنِي شَعْبِهَا. | ١٧ 17 |
And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him sore; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ رِجَالُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ: «أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَحْلَى مِنَ ٱلْعَسَلِ، وَمَا أَجْفَى مِنَ ٱلْأَسَدِ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَوْ لَمْ تَحْرُثُوا عَلَى عِجْلَتِي، لَمَا وَجَدْتُمْ أُحْجِيَّتِي». | ١٨ 18 |
And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle.
| وَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَنَزَلَ إِلَى أَشْقَلُونَ وَقَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا، وَأَخَذَ سَلَبَهُمْ وَأَعْطَى ٱلْحُلَلَ لِمُظْهِرِي ٱلأُحْجِيَّةِ. وَحَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes [of raiment] unto them that declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.
| فَصَارَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ شَمْشُونَ لِصَاحِبِهِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُصَاحِبُهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
But Samson’s wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
