اَلْقُضَاة 3
| فَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَمْتَحِنَ بِهِمْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا جَمِيعَ حُرُوبِ كَنْعَانَ | ١ 1 |
Now these are the nations which the Lord kept in the land for the purpose of testing Israel by them, all those who had had no experience of all the wars of Canaan;
| إِنَّمَا لِمَعْرِفَةِ أَجْيَالِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِتَعْلِيمِهِمْ ٱلْحَرْبَ. ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا قَبْلُ فَقَطْ: | ٢ 2 |
Only because of the generations of the children of Israel, for the purpose of teaching them war — only those who up till then had no experience of it;
| أَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱلْخَمْسَةُ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلصِّيْدُونِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ سُكَّانِ جَبَلِ لُبْنَانَ، مِنْ جَبَلِ بَعْلِ حَرْمُونَ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ. | ٣ 3 |
The five chiefs of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites and the Zidonians and the Hivites living in Mount Lebanon, from the mountain Baal-hermon as far as Hamath:
| كَانُوا لِٱمْتِحَانِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِهِمْ، لِكَيْ يُعْلَمَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَى بِهَا آبَاءَهُمْ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى. | ٤ 4 |
For the purpose of testing Israel by them, to see if they would give ear to the orders of the Lord, which he had given to their fathers by the hand of Moses.
| فَسَكَنَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ، | ٥ 5 |
Now the children of Israel were living among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
| وَٱتَّخَذُوا بَنَاتِهِمْ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ نِسَاءً، وَأَعْطَوْا بَنَاتِهِمْ لِبَنِيهِمْ وَعَبَدُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
And they took as wives the daughters of these nations and gave their daughters to their sons, and became servants to their gods.
| فَعَمِلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَنَسُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ وَٱلسَّوَارِيَ. | ٧ 7 |
And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and put out of their minds the Lord their God, and became servants to the Baals and the Astartes.
| فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَبَاعَهُمْ بِيَدِ كُوشَانَ رِشَعْتَايِمَ مَلِكِ أَرَامِ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ. فَعَبَدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُوشَانَ رِشَعْتَايِمَ ثَمَانِيَ سِنِينَ. | ٨ 8 |
So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel were his servants for eight years.
| وَصَرَخَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَقَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَخَلَّصَهُمْ، عُثْنِيئِيلَ بْنَ قَنَازَ أَخَا كَالِبَ ٱلْأَصْغَرَ. | ٩ 9 |
And when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
| فَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَقَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. وَخَرَجَ لِلْحَرْبِ فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَدِهِ كُوشَانَ رِشَعْتَايِمَ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ، وَٱعْتَزَّتْ يَدُهُ عَلَى كُوشَانِ رِشَعْتَايِمَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And the spirit of the Lord came on him and he became judge of Israel, and went out to war, and the Lord gave up Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, into his hands and he overcame him.
| وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. وَمَاتَ عُثْنِيئِيلُ بْنُ قَنَازَ. | ١١ 11 |
Then for forty years the land had peace, till the death of Othniel, the son of Kenaz.
| وَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَشَدَّدَ ٱلرَّبُّ عِجْلُونَ مَلِكَ مُوآبَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord made Eglon, king of Moab, strong against Israel, because they had done evil in the Lord's eyes.
| فَجَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَعَمَالِيقَ، وَسَارَ وَضَرَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱمْتَلَكُوا مَدِينَةَ ٱلنَّخْلِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And Eglon got together the people of Ammon and Amalek, and they went and overcame Israel and took the town of palm-trees.
| فَعَبَدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عِجْلُونَ مَلِكَ مُوآبَ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
And the children of Israel were servants to Eglon, king of Moab, for eighteen years.
| وَصَرَخَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَقَامَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصًا إِهُودَ بْنَ جِيرَا ٱلْبَنْيَامِينِيَّ، رَجُلًا أَعْسَرَ. فَأَرْسَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِيَدِهِ هَدِيَّةً لِعِجْلُونَ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Then when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man; and the children of Israel sent an offering by him to Eglon, king of Moab.
| فَعَمِلَ إِهُودُ لِنَفْسِهِ سَيْفًا، ذَا حَدَّيْنِ طُولُهُ ذِرَاعٌ، وَتَقَلَّدَهُ تَحْتَ ثِيَابِهِ عَلَى فَخْذِهِ ٱلْيُمْنَى. | ١٦ 16 |
So Ehud made himself a two-edged sword, a cubit long, which he put on at his right side under his robe.
| وَقَدَّمَ ٱلْهَدِيَّةَ لِعِجْلُونَ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ. وَكَانَ عِجْلُونُ رَجُلًا سَمِينًا جِدًّا. | ١٧ 17 |
And he took the offering to Eglon, king of Moab, who was a very fat man.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى مِنْ تَقْدِيمِ ٱلْهَدِيَّةِ، صَرَفَ ٱلْقَوْمَ حَامِلِي ٱلْهَدِيَّةِ، | ١٨ 18 |
And after giving the offering, he sent away the people who had come with the offering.
| وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَرَجَعَ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ ٱلَّتِي لَدَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ وَقَالَ: «لِي كَلَامُ سِرٍّ إِلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ». فَقَالَ: «صَهْ». وَخَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ جَمِيعُ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ لَدَيْهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
But he himself, turning back from the stone images at Gilgal, said, I have something to say to you in secret, O king. And he said, Let there be quiet. Then all those who were waiting before him went out.
| فَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهِ إِهُودُ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي عُلِّيَّةِ بُرُودٍ كَانَتْ لَهُ وَحْدَهُ. وَقَالَ إِهُودُ: «عِنْدِي كَلَامُ ٱللهِ إِلَيْكَ». فَقَامَ عَنِ ٱلْكُرْسِيِّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Then Ehud came in to him while he was seated by himself in his summer-house. And Ehud said, I have a word from God for you. And he got up from his seat.
| فَمَدَّ إِهُودُ يَدَهُ ٱلْيُسْرَى وَأَخَذَ ٱلسَّيْفَ عَنْ فَخْذِهِ ٱلْيُمْنَى وَضَرَبَهُ فِي بَطْنِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right side, and sent it into his stomach;
| فَدَخَلَ ٱلْقَائِمُ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَ ٱلنَّصْلِ، وَطَبَقَ ٱلشَّحْمُ وَرَاءَ ٱلنَّصْلِ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَجْذُبِ ٱلسَّيْفَ مِنْ بَطْنِهِ. وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْحِتَارِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And the hand-part went in after the blade, and the fat was joined up over the blade; for he did not take the sword out of his stomach. And he went out into the ...
| فَخَرَجَ إِهُودُ مِنَ ٱلرِّوَاقِ وَأَغْلَقَ أَبْوَابَ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ وَرَاءَهُ وَأَقْفَلَهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then Ehud went out into the covered way, shutting the doors of the summer-house on him and locking them.
| وَلَمَّا خَرَجَ، جَاءَ عَبِيدُهُ وَنَظَرُوا وَإِذَا أَبْوَابُ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ مُقْفَلَةٌ، فَقَالُوا: «إِنَّهُ مُغَطٍّ رِجْلَيْهِ فِي مُخْدَعِ ٱلْبُرُودِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Now when he had gone, the king's servants came, and saw that the doors of the summer-house were locked; and they said, It may be that he is in his summer-house for a private purpose.
| فَلَبِثُوا حَتَّى خَجِلُوا وَإِذَا هُوَ لَا يَفْتَحُ أَبْوَابَ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ. فَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمِفْتَاحَ وَفَتَحُوا وَإِذَا سَيِّدُهُمْ سَاقِطٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَيْتًا. | ٢٥ 25 |
And they went on waiting till they were shamed, but the doors were still shut; so they took the key, and, opening them, saw their lord stretched out dead on the floor.
| وَأَمَّا إِهُودُ فَنَجَا، إِذْ هُمْ مَبْهُوتُونَ، وَعَبَرَ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ وَنَجَا إِلَى سِعِيرَةَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
But Ehud had got away while they were waiting and had gone past the stone images and got away to Seirah.
| وَكَانَ عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهِ أَنَّهُ ضَرَبَ بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، فَنَزَلَ مَعْهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَهُوَ قُدَّامَهُمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And when he came there, he had a horn sounded in the hill-country of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he at their head.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱتْبَعُونِي لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَ أَعْدَاءَكُمُ ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ لِيَدِكُمْ». فَنَزَلُوا وَرَاءَهُ وَأَخَذُوا مَخَاوِضَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى مُوآبَ، وَلَمْ يَدَعُوا أَحَدًا يَعْبُرُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And he said to them, Come after me; for the Lord has given the Moabites, your haters, into your hands. So they went down after him and took the crossing-places of Jordan against Moab, and let no one go across.
| فَضَرَبُوا مِنْ مُوآبَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ، كُلَّ نَشِيطٍ، وَكُلَّ ذِي بَأْسٍ، وَلَمْ يَنْجُ أَحَدٌ. | ٢٩ 29 |
At that time they put about ten thousand men of Moab to the sword, every strong man and every man of war; not a man got away.
| فَذَلَّ ٱلْمُوآبِيُّونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ تَحْتَ يَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً. | ٣٠ 30 |
So Moab was broken that day under the hand of Israel. And for eighty years the land had peace.
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَهُ شَمْجَرُ بْنُ عَنَاةَ، فَضَرَبَ مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سِتَّ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ بِمِنْسَاسِ ٱلْبَقَرِ. وَهُوَ أَيْضًا خَلَّصَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣١ 31 |
And after him came Shamgar, the son of Anath, who put to death six hundred Philistines with an ox-stick; and he was another saviour of Israel.
