اَلْقُضَاة 14
| وَنَزَلَ شَمْشُونُ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ، وَرَأَى ٱمْرَأَةً فِي تِمْنَةَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ١ 1 |
And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath 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 Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me for a 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 to him, [Is there] not 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 to 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 the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion 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 Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: 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 the LORD 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 time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and behold, [there was] a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion.
| 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 of it in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they ate: but he told them not that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.
| وَنَزَلَ أَبُوهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، فَعَمِلَ هُنَاكَ شَمْشُونُ وَلِيمَةً، لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ٱلْفِتْيَانُ. | ١٠ 10 |
So his father went down to 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 to them, I will now propose a riddle to you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find [it] out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
| 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] to me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said to him, propose 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 to them, Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound 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 to Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take what we possess? [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 proposed a riddle to the children of my people, and hast not told [it] to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not told [it] to my father nor to my mother, and shall I tell [it] to 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 urged him: 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 to 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 to 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 the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments to them who expounded 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.
