اَلْقُضَاة 21
| وَرِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَلَفُوا فِي ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ قَائِلِينَ: «لَا يُسَلِّمْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا ٱبْنَتَهُ لِبَنْيَامِينَ ٱمْرَأَةً». | ١ 1 |
Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter to Benjamin to wife.
| وَجَاءَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَأَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ، وَرَفَعُوا صَوْتَهُمْ وَبَكَوْا بُكَاءً عَظِيمًا. | ٢ 2 |
And the people came to the house of God, and stayed there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;
| وَقَالُوا: «لِمَاذَا يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَدَثَتْ هَذِهِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَتَّى يُفْقَدَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ سِبْطٌ؟» | ٣ 3 |
And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?
| وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ بَكَّرَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَبَنَوْا هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا، وَأَصْعَدُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ. | ٤ 4 |
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
| وَقَالَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ: «مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَصْعَدْ فِي ٱلْمَجْمَعِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ؟»لِأَنَّهُ صَارَ ٱلْحَلْفُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَصْعَدْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ قَائِلًا: «يُمَاتُ مَوْتًا». | ٥ 5 |
And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation to the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
| وَنَدِمَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى بَنْيَامِينَ أَخِيهِمْ وَقَالُوا: «قَدِ ٱنْقَطَعَ ٱلْيَوْمَ سِبْطٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٦ 6 |
And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
| مَاذَا نَعْمَلُ لِلْبَاقِينَ مِنْهُمْ فِي أَمْرِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ، وَقَدْ حَلَفْنَا نَحْنُ بِٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ لَا نُعْطِيَهُمْ مِنْ بَنَاتِنَا نِسَاءً؟» | ٧ 7 |
How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
| وَقَالُوا: «أَيُّ سِبْطٍ مِنْ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَصْعَدْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ؟». وَهُوَذَا لَمْ يَأْتِ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ إِلَى ٱلْمَجْمَعِ. | ٨ 8 |
And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly.
| فَعُدَّ ٱلشَّعْبُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ هُنَاكَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ سُكَّانِ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ. | ٩ 9 |
For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there.
| فَأَرْسَلَتِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْبَأْسِ، وَأَوْصَوْهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا وَٱضْرِبُوا سُكَّانَ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ مَعَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلْأَطْفَالِ. | ١٠ 10 |
And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the most valiant, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
| وَهَذَا مَا تَعْمَلُونَهُ: تُحَرِّمُونَ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ وَكُلَّ ٱمْرَأَةٍ عَرَفَتِ ٱضْطِجَاعَ ذَكَرٍ». | ١١ 11 |
And this is the thing that you shall do, You shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that has lain by man.
| فَوَجَدُوا مِنْ سُكَّانِ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ فَتَاةٍ عَذَارَى لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَ رَجُلًا بِٱلاِضْطِجَاعِ مَعَ ذَكَرٍ، وَجَاءُوا بِهِنَّ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى شِيلُوهَ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them to the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
| وَأَرْسَلَتِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ كُلُّهَا وَكَلَّمَتْ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي صَخْرَةِ رِمُّونَ وَٱسْتَدْعَتْهُمْ إِلَى ٱلصُّلْحِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably to them.
| فَرَجَعَ بَنْيَامِينُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ، فَأَعْطَوْهُمْ ٱلنِّسَاءَ ٱللَّوَاتِي ٱسْتَحْيَوْهُنَّ مِنْ نِسَاءِ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ. وَلَمْ يَكْفُوهُمْ هَكَذَا. | ١٤ 14 |
And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
| وَنَدِمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ أَجْلِ بَنْيَامِينَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ جَعَلَ شَقًّا فِي أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
| فَقَالَ شُيُوخُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ: «مَاذَا نَصْنَعُ بِٱلْبَاقِينَ فِي أَمْرِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْقَطَعَتِ ٱلنِّسَاءُ مِنْ بَنْيَامِينَ؟» | ١٦ 16 |
Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
| وَقَالُوا: «مِيرَاثُ نَجَاةٍ لِبَنْيَامِينَ، وَلَا يُمْحَى سِبْطٌ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
| وَنَحْنُ لَا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نُعْطِيَهُمْ نِسَاءً مِنْ بَنَاتِنَا، لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَلَفُوا قَائِلِينَ: مَلْعُونٌ مَنْ أَعْطَى ٱمْرَأَةً لِبَنْيَامِينَ». | ١٨ 18 |
However, we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that gives a wife to Benjamin.
| ثُمَّ قَالُوا: «هُوَذَا عِيدُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ شِمَالِيَّ بَيْتِ إِيلَ، شَرْقِيَّ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلصَّاعِدَةِ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ إِلَى شَكِيمَ وَجَنُوبِيَّ لَبُونَةَ». | ١٩ 19 |
Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
| وَأَوْصَوْا بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱمْضُوا وَٱكْمِنُوا فِي ٱلْكُرُومِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
| وَٱنْظُرُوا. فَإِذَا خَرَجَتْ بَنَاتُ شِيلُوهَ لِيَدُرْنَ فِي ٱلرَّقْصِ، فَٱخْرُجُوا أَنْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلْكُرُومِ وَٱخْطِفُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ مِنْ بَنَاتِ شِيلُوهَ، وَٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ بَنْيَامِينَ. | ٢١ 21 |
And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come you out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
| فَإِذَا جَاءَ آبَاؤُهُنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَتُهُنَّ لِكَيْ يَشْكُوا إِلَيْنَا، نَقُولُ لَهُمْ: تَرَاءَفُوا عَلَيْهِمْ لِأَجْلِنَا، لِأَنَّنَا لَمْ نَأْخُذْ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ، لِأَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ لَمْ تُعْطُوهُمْ فِي ٱلْوَقْتِ حَتَّى تَكُونُوا قَدْ أَثِمْتُمْ». | ٢٢ 22 |
And it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to us to complain, that we will say to them, Be favorable to them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for you did not give to them at this time, that you should be guilty.
| فَفَعَلَ هَكَذَا بَنُو بَنْيَامِينَ، وَٱتَّخَذُوا نِسَاءً حَسَبَ عَدَدِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلرَّاقِصَاتِ ٱللَّوَاتِي ٱخْتَطَفُوهُنَّ، وَذَهَبُوا وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى مُلْكِهِمْ وَبَنَوْا ٱلْمُدُنَ وَسَكَنُوا بِهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned to their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelled in them.
| فَسَارَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى سِبْطِهِ وَعَشِيرَتِهِ، وَخَرَجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And the children of Israel departed there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from there every man to his inheritance.
| فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَلِكٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَمِلَ مَا حَسُنَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
