< 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 a messenger of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, And he said, I caused you to go up out of Egypt, and I brought you unto the land which I had sworn unto your fathers; and I said, I will not break my covenant with you for ever.
وَأَنْتُمْ فَلَا تَقْطَعُوا عَهْدًا مَعَ سُكَّانِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٱهْدِمُوا مَذَابِحَهُمْ. وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِي. فَمَاذَا عَمِلْتُمْ؟ | ٢ 2 |
But ye for your part shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; their altars shall ye throw down; but ye have not obeyed my voice: what is this ye have done?
فَقُلْتُ أَيْضًا: لَا أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، بَلْ يَكُونُونَ لَكُمْ مُضَايِقِينَ، وَتَكُونُ آلِهَتُهُمْ لَكُمْ شَرَكًا». | ٣ 3 |
And I also have said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be evil neighbors to you, and their gods shall become a snare unto you.
وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ رَفَعُوا صَوْتَهُمْ وَبَكَوْا. | ٤ 4 |
And it came to pass, when the messenger of the Lord spoke these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
فَدَعَوْا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «بُوكِيمَ». وَذَبَحُوا هُنَاكَ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
And they called the name of that place, Bochim; and they sacrificed there unto the Lord.
وَصَرَفَ يَشُوعُ ٱلشَّعْبَ، فَذَهَبَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ لِأَجْلِ ٱمْتِلَاكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٦ 6 |
And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to take possession of the land.
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 the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days after Joshua, who had seen all the great deeds of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
وَمَاتَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱبْنَ مِئَةٍ وَعَشْرَ سِنِينَ. | ٨ 8 |
Then died Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, being one hundred and ten years old.
فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي تُخْمِ مُلْكِهِ فِي تِمْنَةَ حَارَسَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، شِمَالِيَّ جَبَلِ جَاعَشَ. | ٩ 9 |
And they buried him on the border of his inheritance in Timnath-cheres, in the mountain of Ephraim, on the north side of mount Ga'ash.
وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْجِيلِ أَيْضًا ٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى آبَائِهِ، وَقَامَ بَعْدَهُمْ جِيلٌ آخَرُ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَلَا ٱلْعَمَلَ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, who knew not the Lord, and likewise not the deeds which he had done for Israel.
وَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ. | ١١ 11 |
And the children of Israel did the evil in the eyes of the Lord, and served the Be'alim:
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 forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they went after other gods, of the gods of the nations that were round about them, and they bowed themselves unto them, and incensed the Lord.
تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلَ وَعَشْتَارُوثَ. | ١٣ 13 |
And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and 'Ashtaroth.
فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَدَفَعَهُمْ بِأَيْدِي نَاهِبِينَ نَهَبُوهُمْ، وَبَاعَهُمْ بِيَدِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ حَوْلَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا بَعْدُ عَلَى ٱلْوُقُوفِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of spoilers who spoiled them, and he sold them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they were not able any longer to stand before their enemies.
حَيْثُمَا خَرَجُوا كَانَتْ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلشَّرِّ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَكَمَا أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ. فَضَاقَ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَمْرُ جِدًّا. | ١٥ 15 |
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had spoken, and as the Lord had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
وَأَقَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ قُضَاةً فَخَلَّصُوهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ نَاهِبِيهِمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the Lord raised up judges, and they delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled 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 |
But also unto their judges they did not hearken; but they went astray after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers had walked in, to obey the commandments of the Lord; they did not so.
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, then was the Lord with the judge, and he delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord bethought himself because of their groaning by reason of those that oppressed them and ill-treated them.
وَعِنْدَ مَوْتِ ٱلْقَاضِي كَانُوا يَرْجِعُونَ وَيَفْسُدُونَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ، بِٱلذَّهَابِ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِيَعْبُدُوهَا وَيَسْجُدُوا لَهَا. لَمْ يَكُفُّوا عَنْ أَفْعَالِهِمْ وَطَرِيقِهِمْ ٱلْقَاسِيَةِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And it came to pass, when the judge died, that they returned, and became more corrupt than their fathers, in going after other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them: they omitted nothing from their doings, and from their stubborn way.
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 anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he said, For the cause that this people have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice:
فَأَنَا أَيْضًا لَا أَعُودُ أَطْرُدُ إِنْسَانًا مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكَهُمْ يَشُوعُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ | ٢١ 21 |
So will I also for my part not drive out henceforth any man from before them out of the nations which Joshua left when he died;
لِكَيْ أَمْتَحِنَ بِهِمْ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَيَحْفَظُونَ طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَسْلُكُوا بِهَا كَمَا حَفِظَهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ، أَمْ لَا». | ٢٢ 22 |
In order to prove through them the Israelites, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
فَتَرَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْأُمَمَ وَلَمْ يَطْرُدْهُمْ سَرِيعًا وَلَمْ يَدْفَعْهُمْ بِيَدِ يَشُوعَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And thus did the Lord leave these nations, so as not to drive them out speedily; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
