اَلْقُضَاة 19
| وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ حِينَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَلِكٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَانَ رَجُلٌ لَاوِيٌّ مُتَغَرِّبًا فِي عِقَابِ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، فَٱتَّخَذَ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً سُرِّيَّةً مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا. | ١ 1 |
AND it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Beth-lehem-judah.
| فَزَنَتْ عَلَيْهِ سُرِّيَّتُهُ وَذَهَبَتْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا، وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ أَيَّامًا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ٢ 2 |
And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father’s house to Beth-lehem-judah, and was there four whole months.
| فَقَامَ رَجُلُهَا وَسَارَ وَرَاءَهَا لِيُطَيِّبَ قَلْبَهَا وَيَرُدَّهَا، وَمَعَهُ غُلَامُهُ وَحِمَارَانِ. فَأَدْخَلَتْهُ بَيْتَ أَبِيهَا. فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ فَرِحَ بِلِقَائِهِ. | ٣ 3 |
And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father’s house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
| وَأَمْسَكَهُ حَمُوهُ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ، فَمَكَثَ مَعَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا وَبَاتُوا هُنَاكَ. | ٤ 4 |
And his father in law, the damsel’s father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعِ أَنَّهُمْ بَكَّرُوا صَبَاحًا وَقَامَ لِلذَّهَابِ. فَقَالَ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ لِصِهْرِهِ: «أَسْنِدْ قَلْبَكَ بِكِسْرَةِ خُبْزٍ، وَبَعْدُ تَذْهَبُونَ». | ٥ 5 |
And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel’s father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way.
| فَجَلَسَا وَأَكَلَا كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا وَشَرِبَا. وَقَالَ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ لِلرَّجُلِ: «ٱرْتَضِ وَبِتْ، وَلْيَطِبْ قَلْبُكَ». | ٦ 6 |
And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel’s father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.
| وَلَمَّا قَامَ ٱلرَّجُلُ لِلذَّهَابِ، أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ حَمُوهُ فَعَادَ وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ. | ٧ 7 |
And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.
| ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْخَامِسِ لِلذَّهَابِ. فَقَالَ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ: «أَسْنِدْ قَلْبَكَ، وَتَوَانَوْا حَتَّى يَمِيلَ ٱلنَّهَارُ». وَأَكَلَا كِلَاهُمَا. | ٨ 8 |
And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel’s father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them.
| ثُمَّ قَامَ ٱلرَّجُلُ لِلذَّهَابِ هُوَ وَسُرِّيَّتُهُ وَغُلَامُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ حَمُوهُ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ: «إِنَّ ٱلنَّهَارَ قَدْ مَالَ إِلَى ٱلْغُرُوبِ. بِيتُوا ٱلْآنَ. هُوَذَا آخِرُ ٱلنَّهَارِ. بِتْ هُنَا وَلْيَطِبْ قَلْبُكَ، وَغَدًا تُبَكِّرُونَ فِي طَرِيقِكُمْ وَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى خَيْمَتِكَ». | ٩ 9 |
And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel’s father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.
| فَلَمْ يُرِدِ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَبِيتَ، بَلْ قَامَ وَذَهَبَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى مُقَابِلِ يَبُوسَ، هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَمَعَهُ حِمَارَانِ مَشْدُودَانِ وَسُرِّيَّتُهُ مَعَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him.
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ عِنْدَ يَبُوسَ وَٱلنَّهَارُ قَدِ ٱنْحَدَرَ جِدًّا، قَالَ ٱلْغُلَامُ لِسَيِّدِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَمِيلُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ هَذِهِ وَنَبِيتُ فِيهَا». | ١١ 11 |
And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: «لَا نَمِيلُ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ حَيْثُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ هُنَا. نَعْبُرُ إِلَى جِبْعَةَ». | ١٢ 12 |
And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah.
| وَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَى أَحَدِ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ وَنَبِيتُ فِي جِبْعَةَ أَوْ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ». | ١٣ 13 |
And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
| فَعَبَرُوا وَذَهَبُوا. وَغَابَتْ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّمْسُ عِنْدَ جِبْعَةَ ٱلَّتِي لِبَنْيَامِينَ. | ١٤ 14 |
And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
| فَمَالُوا إِلَى هُنَاكَ لِكَيْ يَدْخُلُوا وَيَبِيتُوا فِي جِبْعَةَ. فَدَخَلَ وَجَلَسَ فِي سَاحَةِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَلَمْ يَضُمَّهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ لِلْمَبِيتِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging.
| وَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ شَيْخٍ جَاءَ مِنْ شُغْلِهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ. وَٱلرَّجُلُ مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَهُوَ غَرِيبٌ فِي جِبْعَةَ، وَرِجَالُ ٱلْمَكَانِ بَنْيَامِينِيُّونَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.
| فَرَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَرَأَى ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلْمُسَافِرَ فِي سَاحَةِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، فَقَالَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلشَّيْخُ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ؟ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتَ؟» | ١٧ 17 |
And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «نَحْنُ عَابِرُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى عِقَابِ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ. أَنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَقَدْ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَنَا ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَضُمُّنِي إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And he said unto him, We are passing from Beth-lehem-judah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Beth-lehem-judah, but I am now going to the house of the Lord; and there is no man that receiveth me to house.
| وَأَيْضًا عِنْدَنَا تِبْنٌ وَعَلَفٌ لِحَمِيرِنَا، وَأَيْضًا خُبْزٌ وَخَمْرٌ لِي وَلِأَمَتِكَ وَلِلْغُلَامِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ. لَيْسَ ٱحْتِيَاجٌ إِلَى شَيْءٍ». | ١٩ 19 |
Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلشَّيْخُ: «ٱلسَّلَامُ لَكَ. إِنَّمَا كُلُّ ٱحْتِيَاجِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَبِتْ فِي ٱلسَّاحَةِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.
| وَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَعَلَفَ حَمِيرَهُمْ، فَغَسَلُوا أَرْجُلَهُمْ وَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا. | ٢١ 21 |
So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ يُطَيِّبُونَ قُلُوبَهُمْ، إِذَا بِرِجَالِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، رِجَالِ بَنِي بَلِيَّعَالَ، أَحَاطُوا بِٱلْبَيْتِ قَارِعِينَ ٱلْبَابَ، وَكَلَّمُوا ٱلرَّجُلَ صَاحِبَ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلشَّيْخَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَخْرِجِ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي دَخَلَ بَيْتَكَ فَنَعْرِفَهُ». | ٢٢ 22 |
Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
| فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ ٱلْرَّجُلُ صَاحِبُ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا يَا إِخْوَتِي. لَا تَفْعَلُوا شَرًّا. بَعْدَمَا دَخَلَ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ بَيْتِي لَا تَفْعَلُوا هَذِهِ ٱلْقَبَاحَةَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
| هُوَذَا ٱبْنَتِي ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ وَسُرِّيَّتُهُ. دَعُونِي أُخْرِجْهُمَا، فَأَذِلُّوهُمَا وَٱفْعَلُوا بِهِمَا مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ. وَأَمَّا هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ فَلَا تَعْمَلُوا بِهِ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلْقَبِيحَ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
| فَلَمْ يُرِدِ ٱلرِّجَالُ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لَهُ. فَأَمْسَكَ ٱلرَّجُلُ سُرِّيَّتَهُ وَأَخْرَجَهَا إِلَيْهِمْ خَارِجًا، فَعَرَفُوهَا وَتَعَلَّلُوا بِهَا ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ. وَعِنْدَ طُلُوعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ أَطْلَقُوهَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
| فَجَاءَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَسَقَطَتْ عِنْدَ بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّجُلِ حَيْثُ سَيِّدُهَا هُنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلضَّوْءِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light.
| فَقَامَ سَيِّدُهَا فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَفَتَحَ أَبْوَابَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَخَرَجَ لِلذَّهَابِ فِي طَرِيقِهِ، وَإِذَا بِٱلْمَرْأَةِ سُرِّيَّتِهِ سَاقِطَةٌ عَلَى بَابِ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَيَدَاهَا عَلَى ٱلْعَتَبَةِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «قُومِي نَذْهَبْ». فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مُجِيبٌ. فَأَخَذَهَا عَلَى ٱلْحِمَارِ وَقَامَ ٱلرَّجُلُ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place.
| وَدَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَأَخَذَ ٱلسِّكِّينَ وَأَمْسَكَ سُرِّيَّتَهُ وَقَطَّعَهَا مَعَ عِظَامِهَا إِلَى ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشَرَةَ قِطْعَةً، وَأَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى جَمِيعِ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
| وَكُلُّ مَنْ رَأَى قَالَ: «لَمْ يَكُنْ وَلَمْ يُرَ مِثْلُ هَذَا مِنْ يَوْمِ صُعُودِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. تَبَصَّرُوا فِيهِ وَتَشَاوَرُوا وَتَكَلَّمُوا». | ٣٠ 30 |
And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.
