اَلْقُضَاة 16
| ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ شَمْشُونُ إِلَى غَزَّةَ، وَرَأَى هُنَاكَ ٱمْرَأَةً زَانِيَةً فَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهَا. | ١ 1 |
Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
| فَقِيلَ لِلْغَزِّيِّينَ: «قَدْ أَتَى شَمْشُونُ إِلَى هُنَا». فَأَحَاطُوا بِهِ وَكَمَنُوا لَهُ ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ عِنْدَ بَابِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. فَهَدَأُوا ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ قَائِلِينَ: «عِنْدَ ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ نَقْتُلُهُ». | ٢ 2 |
And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson has come here. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.
| فَٱضْطَجَعَ شَمْشُونُ إِلَى نِصْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي نِصْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ وَأَخَذَ مِصْرَاعَيْ بَابِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَٱلْقَائِمَتَيْنِ وَقَلَعَهُمَا مَعَ ٱلْعَارِضَةِ، وَوَضَعَهَا عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ وَصَعِدَ بِهَا إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي مُقَابِلَ حَبْرُونَ. | ٣ 3 |
And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ أَحَبَّ ٱمْرَأَةً فِي وَادِي سُورَقَ ٱسْمُهَا دَلِيلَةُ. | ٤ 4 |
And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
| فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهَا أَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَقَالُوا لَهَا: «تَمَلَّقِيهِ وَٱنْظُرِي بِمَاذَا قُوَّتُهُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ، وَبِمَاذَا نَتَمَكَّنُ مِنْهُ لِكَيْ نُوثِقَهُ لِإِذْلَالِهِ، فَنُعْطِيَكِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَلْفًا وَمِئَةَ شَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ». | ٥ 5 |
And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will give you every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
| فَقَالَتْ دَلِيلَةُ لِشَمْشُونَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي بِمَاذَا قُوَّتُكَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ؟ وَبِمَاذَا تُوثَقُ لِإِذْلَالِكَ؟» | ٦ 6 |
And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray you, wherein your great strength lies, and wherewith you might be bound to afflict you.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا شَمْشُونُ: «إِذَا أَوْثَقُونِي بِسَبْعَةِ أَوْتَارٍ طَرِيَّةٍ لَمْ تَجِفَّ، أَضْعُفُ وَأَصِيرُ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ». | ٧ 7 |
And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
| فَأَصْعَدَ لَهَا أَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سَبْعَةَ أَوْتَارٍ طَرِيَّةٍ لَمْ تَجِفَّ، فَأَوْثَقَتْهُ بِهَا، | ٨ 8 |
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
| وَٱلْكَمِينُ لَابِثٌ عِنْدَهَا فِي ٱلْحُجْرَةِ. فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَمْشُونُ». فَقَطَعَ ٱلْأَوْتَارَ كَمَا يُقْطَعُ فَتِيلُ ٱلْمَشَاقَةِ إِذَا شَمَّ ٱلنَّارَ، وَلَمْ تُعْلَمْ قُوَّتُهُ. | ٩ 9 |
Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
| فَقَالَتْ دَلِيلَةُ لِشَمْشُونَ: «هَا قَدْ خَتَلْتَنِي وَكَلَّمْتَنِي بِٱلْكَذِبِ، فَأَخْبِرْنِيَ ٱلْآنَ بِمَاذَا تُوثَقُ؟». | ١٠ 10 |
And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray you, wherewith you might be bound.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «إِذَا أَوْثَقُونِي بِحِبَالٍ جَدِيدَةٍ لَمْ تُسْتَعْمَلْ، أَضْعُفُ وَأَصِيرُ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ». | ١١ 11 |
And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
| فَأَخَذَتْ دَلِيلَةُ حِبَالًا جَدِيدَةً وَأَوْثَقَتْهُ بِهَا، وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَمْشُونُ، وَٱلْكَمِينُ لَابِثٌ فِي ٱلْحُجْرَةِ». فَقَطَعَهَا عَنْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ كَخَيْطٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And there were hidden attackers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
| فَقَالَتْ دَلِيلَةُ لِشَمْشُونَ: «حَتَّى ٱلْآنَ خَتَلْتَنِي وَكَلَّمْتَنِي بِٱلْكَذِبِ، فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِمَاذَا تُوثَقُ؟». فَقَالَ لَهَا: «إِذَا ضَفَرْتِ سَبْعَ خُصَلِ رَأْسِي مَعَ ٱلسَّدَى» | ١٣ 13 |
And Delilah said unto Samson, Until now you have mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith you might be bound. And he said unto her, If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web.
| فَمَكَّنَتْهَا بِٱلْوَتَدِ. وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَمْشُونُ». فَٱنْتَبَهَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَقَلَعَ وَتَدَ ٱلنَّسِيجِ وَٱلسَّدَى. | ١٤ 14 |
And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «كَيْفَ تَقُولُ أُحِبُّكِ، وَقَلْبُكَ لَيْسَ مَعِي؟ هُوَذَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَدْ خَتَلْتَنِي وَلَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي بِمَاذَا قُوَّتُكَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ». | ١٥ 15 |
And she said unto him, How can you say, I love you, when your heart is not with me? you have mocked me these three times, and have not told me wherein your great strength lies.
| وَلَمَّا كَانَتْ تُضَايِقُهُ بِكَلَامِهَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَأَلَحَّتْ عَلَيْهِ، ضَاقَتْ نَفْسُهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ، | ١٦ 16 |
And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
| فَكَشَفَ لَهَا كُلَّ قَلْبِهِ، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «لَمْ يَعْلُ مُوسَى رَأْسِي لِأَنِّي نَذِيرُ ٱللهِ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي، فَإِنْ حُلِقْتُ تُفَارِقُنِي قُوَّتِي وَأَضْعُفُ وَأَصِيرُ كَأَحَدِ ٱلنَّاسِ». | ١٧ 17 |
That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There has not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ دَلِيلَةُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَخْبَرَهَا بِكُلِّ مَا بِقَلْبِهِ، أَرْسَلَتْ فَدَعَتْ أَقْطَابَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَقَالَتِ: «ٱصْعَدُوا هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كَشَفَ لِي كُلَّ قَلْبِهِ». فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهَا أَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَأَصْعَدُوا ٱلْفِضَّةَ بِيَدِهِمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he has showed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
| وَأَنَامَتْهُ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهَا وَدَعَتْ رَجُلًا وَحَلَقَتْ سَبْعَ خُصَلِ رَأْسِهِ، وَٱبْتَدَأَتْ بِإِذْلَالِهِ، وَفَارَقَتْهُ قُوَّتُهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
| وَقَالَتِ: «ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَمْشُونُ». فَٱنْتَبَهَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ: «أَخْرُجُ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ وَأَنْتَفِضُ». وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ فَارَقَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And she said, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he knows not that the LORD was departed from him.
| فَأَخَذَهُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَقَلَعُوا عَيْنَيْهِ، وَنَزَلُوا بِهِ إِلَى غَزَّةَ وَأَوْثَقُوهُ بِسَلَاسِلِ نُحَاسٍ. وَكَانَ يَطْحَنُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ. | ٢١ 21 |
But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
| وَٱبْتَدَأَ شَعْرُ رَأْسِهِ يَنْبُتُ بَعْدَ أَنْ حُلِقَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Nevertheless the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
| وَأَمَّا أَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَٱجْتَمَعُوا لِيَذْبَحُوا ذَبِيحَةً عَظِيمَةً لِدَاجُونَ إِلَهِهِمْ وَيَفْرَحُوا، وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ دَفَعَ إِلَهُنَا لِيَدِنَا شَمْشُونَ عَدُوَّنَا». | ٢٣ 23 |
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together in order to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
| وَلَمَّا رَآهُ ٱلشَّعْبُ مَجَّدُوا إِلَهَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «قَدْ دَفَعَ إِلَهُنَا لِيَدِنَا عَدُوَّنَا ٱلَّذِي خَرَّبَ أَرْضَنَا وَكَثَّرَ قَتْلَانَا». | ٢٤ 24 |
And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا طَابَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «ٱدْعُوا شَمْشُونَ لِيَلْعَبَ لَنَا». فَدَعَوْا شَمْشُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ، فَلَعِبَ أَمَامَهُمْ. وَأَوْقَفُوهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَعْمِدَةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.
| فَقَالَ شَمْشُونُ لِلْغُلَامِ ٱلْمَاسِكِ بِيَدِهِ: «دَعْنِي أَلْمِسِ ٱلْأَعْمِدَةَ ٱلَّتِي ٱلْبَيْتُ قَائِمٌ عَلَيْهَا لِأَسْتَنِدَ عَلَيْهَا». | ٢٦ 26 |
And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house stands, that I may lean upon them.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْبَيْتُ مَمْلُوءًا رِجَالًا وَنِسَاءً، وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ جَمِيعُ أَقْطَابِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَعَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ نَحْوُ ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ وَٱمْرَأَةٍ يَنْظُرُونَ لِعْبَ شَمْشُونَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
| فَدَعَا شَمْشُونُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ، ٱذْكُرْنِي وَشَدِّدْنِي يَا ٱللهُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ فَقَطْ، فَأَنْتَقِمَ نَقْمَةً وَاحِدَةً عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». | ٢٨ 28 |
And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray you, and strengthen me, I pray you, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
| وَقَبَضَ شَمْشُونُ عَلَى ٱلْعَمُودَيْنِ ٱلْمُتَوَسِّطَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ كَانَ ٱلْبَيْتُ قَائِمًا عَلَيْهِمَا، وَٱسْتَنَدَ عَلَيْهِمَا ٱلْوَاحِدِ بِيَمِينِهِ وَٱلْآخَرِ بِيَسَارِهِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
| وَقَالَ شَمْشُونُ: «لِتَمُتْ نَفْسِي مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». وَٱنْحَنَى بِقُوَّةٍ فَسَقَطَ ٱلْبَيْتُ عَلَى ٱلْأَقْطَابِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ، فَكَانَ ٱلْمَوْتَى ٱلَّذِينَ أَمَاتَهُمْ فِي مَوْتِهِ، أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَمَاتَهُمْ فِي حَيَاتِهِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
| فَنَزَلَ إِخْوَتُهُ وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ وَحَمَلُوهُ وَصَعِدُوا بِهِ وَدَفَنُوهُ بَيْنَ صُرْعَةَ وَأَشْتَأُولَ، فِي قَبْرِ مَنُوحَ أَبِيهِ. وَهُوَ قَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. | ٣١ 31 |
Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
