اَلْقُضَاة 2
| وَصَعِدَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ إِلَى بُوكِيمَ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ أَصْعَدْتُكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَأَتَيْتُ بِكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لِآبَائِكُمْ، وَقُلْتُ: لَا أَنْكُثُ عَهْدِي مَعَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١ 1 |
And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the place of weepers, and said: I made you go out of Egypt, and have brought you into the land for which I swore to your fathers: and I promised that I would not make void my covenant with you for ever:
| وَأَنْتُمْ فَلَا تَقْطَعُوا عَهْدًا مَعَ سُكَّانِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٱهْدِمُوا مَذَابِحَهُمْ. وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِي. فَمَاذَا عَمِلْتُمْ؟ | ٢ 2 |
On condition that you should not make a league with the inhabitants of this land, but should throw down their altars: and you would not hear my voice: why have you done this?
| فَقُلْتُ أَيْضًا: لَا أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، بَلْ يَكُونُونَ لَكُمْ مُضَايِقِينَ، وَتَكُونُ آلِهَتُهُمْ لَكُمْ شَرَكًا». | ٣ 3 |
Wherefore I would not destroy them from before your face: that you may have enemies, and their gods may be your ruin.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ رَفَعُوا صَوْتَهُمْ وَبَكَوْا. | ٤ 4 |
And when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and wept.
| فَدَعَوْا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «بُوكِيمَ». وَذَبَحُوا هُنَاكَ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
And the name of that place was called, The place of weepers, or of tears: and there they offered sacrifices to the Lord.
| وَصَرَفَ يَشُوعُ ٱلشَّعْبَ، فَذَهَبَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ لِأَجْلِ ٱمْتِلَاكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٦ 6 |
And Josue sent away the people, and the children of Israel went every one to his own possession to hold it:
| وَعَبَدَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلرَّبَّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ يَشُوعَ، وَكُلَّ أَيَّامِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَالَتْ أَيَّامُهُمْ بَعْدَ يَشُوعَ ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْا كُلَّ عَمَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ 7 |
And they served the Lord all his days, and the days of the ancients, that lived a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
| وَمَاتَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱبْنَ مِئَةٍ وَعَشْرَ سِنِينَ. | ٨ 8 |
And Josue the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being a hundred and ten years old,
| فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي تُخْمِ مُلْكِهِ فِي تِمْنَةَ حَارَسَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، شِمَالِيَّ جَبَلِ جَاعَشَ. | ٩ 9 |
And they buried him in the borders of his possession in Thamnathsare in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount Gaas.
| وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْجِيلِ أَيْضًا ٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى آبَائِهِ، وَقَامَ بَعْدَهُمْ جِيلٌ آخَرُ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَلَا ٱلْعَمَلَ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And all that generation was gathered to their fathers: and there arose others that knew not the Lord, and the works which he had done for Israel.
| وَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ. | ١١ 11 |
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served Baalim.
| وَتَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمِ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَسَارُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ آلِهَةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُمْ، وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا وَأَغَاظُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. | ١٢ 12 |
And they left the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt: and they followed strange gods, and the gods of the people that dwelt round about them, and they adored them: and they provoked the Lord to anger.
| تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلَ وَعَشْتَارُوثَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Forsaking him, and serving Baal and Astaroth.
| فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَدَفَعَهُمْ بِأَيْدِي نَاهِبِينَ نَهَبُوهُمْ، وَبَاعَهُمْ بِيَدِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ حَوْلَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا بَعْدُ عَلَى ٱلْوُقُوفِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
And the Lord being angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers: who took them and sold them to their enemies, that dwelt round about: neither could they stand against their enemies:
| حَيْثُمَا خَرَجُوا كَانَتْ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلشَّرِّ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَكَمَا أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ. فَضَاقَ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَمْرُ جِدًّا. | ١٥ 15 |
But whithersoever they meant to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, as he had said, and as he had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
| وَأَقَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ قُضَاةً فَخَلَّصُوهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ نَاهِبِيهِمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the Lord raised up judges, to deliver them from the hands of those that oppressed them: but they would not hearken to them,
| وَلِقُضَاتِهِمْ أَيْضًا لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، بَلْ زَنَوْا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا. حَادُوا سَرِيعًا عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي سَارَ بِهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ لِسَمْعِ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ، لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا هَكَذَا. | ١٧ 17 |
Committing fornication with strange gods, and adoring them. They quickly forsook the way, in which their fathers had walked: and hearing the commandments of the Lord, they did all things contrary.
| وَحِينَمَا أَقَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ قُضَاةً، كَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ ٱلْقَاضِي، وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ ٱلْقَاضِي، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ نَدِمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِينِهِمْ بِسَبَبِ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ وَزَاحِمِيهِمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
And when the Lord raised them up judges, in their days he was moved to mercy, and heard the groanings of the afflicted, and delivered them from the slaughter of the oppressors.
| وَعِنْدَ مَوْتِ ٱلْقَاضِي كَانُوا يَرْجِعُونَ وَيَفْسُدُونَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ، بِٱلذَّهَابِ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِيَعْبُدُوهَا وَيَسْجُدُوا لَهَا. لَمْ يَكُفُّوا عَنْ أَفْعَالِهِمْ وَطَرِيقِهِمْ ٱلْقَاسِيَةِ. | ١٩ 19 |
But after the judge was dead, they returned, and did much worse things than their fathers had done, following strange gods, serving them and adoring them. They left not their own inventions, and the stubborn way, by which they were accustomed to walk.
| فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ قَدْ تَعَدَّوْا عَهْدِيَ ٱلَّذِي أَوْصَيْتُ بِهِ آبَاءَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِي، | ٢٠ 20 |
And the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he said: Behold this nation hath made void my covenant, which I had made with their fathers, and hath despised to hearken to my voice:
| فَأَنَا أَيْضًا لَا أَعُودُ أَطْرُدُ إِنْسَانًا مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكَهُمْ يَشُوعُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ | ٢١ 21 |
I also will not destroy the nations which Josue left, when he died:
| لِكَيْ أَمْتَحِنَ بِهِمْ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَيَحْفَظُونَ طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَسْلُكُوا بِهَا كَمَا حَفِظَهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ، أَمْ لَا». | ٢٢ 22 |
That through them I may try Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.
| فَتَرَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْأُمَمَ وَلَمْ يَطْرُدْهُمْ سَرِيعًا وَلَمْ يَدْفَعْهُمْ بِيَدِ يَشُوعَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
The Lord therefore left all these nations, and would not quickly destroy them, neither did he deliver them into the hands of Josue.
