اَلْقُضَاة 15
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ مُدَّةٍ فِي أَيَّامِ حَصَادِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ، أَنَّ شَمْشُونَ ٱفْتَقَدَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ بِجَدْيِ مِعْزًى. | ١ 1 |
But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
| وَقَالَ: «أَدْخُلُ إِلَى ٱمْرَأَتِي إِلَى حُجْرَتِهَا». وَلَكِنَّ أَبَاهَا لَمْ يَدَعْهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ. وَقَالَ أَبُوهَا: «إِنِّي قُلْتُ إِنَّكَ قَدْ كَرِهْتَهَا فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا لِصَاحِبِكَ. أَلَيْسَتْ أُخْتُهَا ٱلصَّغِيرَةُ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا؟ فَلْتَكُنْ لَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهَا». | ٢ 2 |
And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ ٱلْآنَ مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ إِذَا عَمِلْتُ بِهِمْ شَرًّا». | ٣ 3 |
And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
| وَذَهَبَ شَمْشُونُ وَأَمْسَكَ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ ٱبْنِ آوَى، وَأَخَذَ مَشَاعِلَ وَجَعَلَ ذَنَبًا إِلَى ذَنَبٍ، وَوَضَعَ مَشْعَلًا بَيْنَ كُلِّ ذَنَبَيْنِ فِي ٱلْوَسَطِ، | ٤ 4 |
And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
| ثُمَّ أَضْرَمَ ٱلْمَشَاعِلَ نَارًا وَأَطْلَقَهَا بَيْنَ زُرُوعِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَأَحْرَقَ ٱلْأَكْدَاسَ وَٱلزَّرْعَ وَكُرُومَ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ. | ٥ 5 |
And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing grain, with the vineyards and olives.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ: «مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا؟» فَقَالُوا: «شَمْشُونُ صِهْرُ ٱلتِّمْنِيِّ، لِأَنَّهُ أَخَذَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ وَأَعْطَاهَا لِصَاحِبِهِ». فَصَعِدَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا وَأَبَاهَا بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٦ 6 |
Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «وَلَوْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا فَإِنِّي أَنْتَقِمُ مِنْكُمْ، وَبَعْدُ أَكُفُّ». | ٧ 7 |
And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
| وَضَرَبَهُمْ سَاقًا عَلَى فَخْذٍ ضَرْبًا عَظِيمًا. ثُمَّ نَزَلَ وَأَقَامَ فِي شَقِّ صَخْرَةِ عِيطَمَ. | ٨ 8 |
And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
| وَصَعِدَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي يَهُوذَا وَتَفَرَّقُوا فِي لَحْيٍ. | ٩ 9 |
Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
| فَقَالَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا: «لِمَاذَا صَعِدْتُمْ عَلَيْنَا؟» فَقَالُوا: «صَعِدْنَا لِكَيْ نُوثِقَ شَمْشُونَ لِنَفْعَلَ بِهِ كَمَا فَعَلَ بِنَا». | ١٠ 10 |
And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
| فَنَزَلَ ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ يَهُوذَا إِلَى شَقِّ صَخْرَةِ عِيطَمَ، وَقَالُوا لِشَمْشُونَ: «أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مُتَسَلِّطُونَ عَلَيْنَا؟ فَمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِنَا؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كَمَا فَعَلُوا بِي هَكَذَا فَعَلْتُ بِهِمْ». | ١١ 11 |
Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
| فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «نَزَلْنَا لِكَيْ نُوثِقَكَ وَنُسَلِّمَكَ إِلَى يَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «ٱحْلِفُوا لِي أَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ لَا تَقَعُونَ عَلَيَّ». | ١٢ 12 |
And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
| فَكَلَّمُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «كَلَّا. وَلَكِنَّنَا نُوثِقُكَ وَنُسَلِّمُكَ إِلَى يَدِهِمْ، وَقَتْلًا لَا نَقْتُلُكَ». فَأَوْثَقُوهُ بِحَبْلَيْنِ جَدِيدَيْنِ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
| وَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى لَحْيٍ، صَاحَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِلِقَائِهِ. فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَكَانَ ٱلْحَبْلَانِ ٱللَّذَانِ عَلَى ذِرَاعَيْهِ كَكَتَّانٍ أُحْرِقَ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَٱنْحَلَّ ٱلْوِثَاقُ عَنْ يَدَيْهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of Yhwh came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
| وَوَجَدَ لَحْيَ حِمَارٍ طَرِيًّا، فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَهُ وَضَرَبَ بِهِ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
And he found a new jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
| فَقَالَ شَمْشُونُ: «بِلَحْيِ حِمَارٍ كُومَةً كُومَتَيْنِ. بِلَحْيِ حِمَارٍ قَتَلْتُ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ». | ١٦ 16 |
And Samson said, With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of a donkey have I slain a thousand men.
| وَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ ٱلْكَلَامِ رَمَى ٱللَّحْيِ مِنْ يَدِهِ، وَدَعَا ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانَ «رَمَتَ لَحْيٍ». | ١٧ 17 |
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath–lehi.
| ثُمَّ عَطِشَ جِدًّا فَدَعَا ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّكَ قَدْ جَعَلْتَ بِيَدِ عَبْدِكَ هَذَا ٱلْخَلَاصَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ، وَٱلْآنَ أَمُوتُ مِنَ ٱلْعَطَشِ وَأَسْقُطُ بِيَدِ ٱلْغُلْفِ». | ١٨ 18 |
And he was sore athirst, and called on Yhwh, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
| فَشَقَّ ٱللهُ ٱلْكِفَّةَ ٱلَّتِي فِي لَحْيِ، فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءٌ، فَشَرِبَ وَرَجَعَتْ رُوحُهُ فَٱنْتَعَشَ. لِذَلِكَ دَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «عَيْنَ هَقُّورِي» ٱلَّتِي فِي لَحْيٍ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٩ 19 |
But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof En–hakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
| وَقَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. | ٢٠ 20 |
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
