< اَلْقُضَاة 3 >
فَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَمْتَحِنَ بِهِمْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا جَمِيعَ حُرُوبِ كَنْعَانَ | ١ 1 |
These nowe are the nations which the Lord left, that he might proue Israel by them (euen as many of Israel as had not knowen all the warres of Canaan,
إِنَّمَا لِمَعْرِفَةِ أَجْيَالِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِتَعْلِيمِهِمْ ٱلْحَرْبَ. ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا قَبْلُ فَقَطْ: | ٢ 2 |
Only to make the generations of the children of Israel to know, and to teach them warre, which doutles their predecessors knew not)
أَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱلْخَمْسَةُ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلصِّيْدُونِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ سُكَّانِ جَبَلِ لُبْنَانَ، مِنْ جَبَلِ بَعْلِ حَرْمُونَ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ. | ٣ 3 |
Fiue princes of the Philistims, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hiuites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon vntill one come to Hamath.
كَانُوا لِٱمْتِحَانِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِهِمْ، لِكَيْ يُعْلَمَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَى بِهَا آبَاءَهُمْ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى. | ٤ 4 |
And these remayned to proue Israel by them, to wit, whether they would obey the commandements of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
فَسَكَنَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ، | ٥ 5 |
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites,
وَٱتَّخَذُوا بَنَاتِهِمْ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ نِسَاءً، وَأَعْطَوْا بَنَاتِهِمْ لِبَنِيهِمْ وَعَبَدُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
And they tooke their daughters to bee their wiues, and gaue their daughters to their sonnes, and serued their gods.
فَعَمِلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَنَسُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ وَٱلسَّوَارِيَ. | ٧ 7 |
So the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lord, and forgate the Lord their God, and serued Baalim, and Asheroth.
فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَبَاعَهُمْ بِيَدِ كُوشَانَ رِشَعْتَايِمَ مَلِكِ أَرَامِ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ. فَعَبَدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُوشَانَ رِشَعْتَايِمَ ثَمَانِيَ سِنِينَ. | ٨ 8 |
Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he solde them into the hand of Chushan rishathaim King of Aram-naharaim, and the children of Israel serued Chushan rishathaim eyght yeeres.
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 cryed vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred vp a sauiour to ye children of Israel, and he saued them, euen Othniel the sonne of Kenaz, Calebs yonger 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 spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and he iudged Israel, and went out to warre: and the Lord deliuered Chushan rishathaim king of Aram into his hand, and his hand preuailed against Chushan rishathaim.
وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. وَمَاتَ عُثْنِيئِيلُ بْنُ قَنَازَ. | ١١ 11 |
So the lande had rest fourtie yeeres, and Othniel the sonne of Kenaz dyed.
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 againe committed wickednesse in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon King of Moab against Israel, because they had committed wickednesse before the Lord.
فَجَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَعَمَالِيقَ، وَسَارَ وَضَرَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱمْتَلَكُوا مَدِينَةَ ٱلنَّخْلِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And he gathered vnto him the children of Ammon, and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and they possessed the citie of palme trees.
فَعَبَدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عِجْلُونَ مَلِكَ مُوآبَ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
So the children of Israel serued Eglon king of Moab eighteene yeeres.
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 |
But when the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred them vp a sauiour, Ehud the sonne of Gera the sonne of Iemini, a man lame of his right hande: and the children of Israel sent a present by him vnto Eglon King of Moab.
فَعَمِلَ إِهُودُ لِنَفْسِهِ سَيْفًا، ذَا حَدَّيْنِ طُولُهُ ذِرَاعٌ، وَتَقَلَّدَهُ تَحْتَ ثِيَابِهِ عَلَى فَخْذِهِ ٱلْيُمْنَى. | ١٦ 16 |
And Ehud made him a dagger with two edges of a cubite length, and he did gird it vnder his rayment vpon his right thigh,
وَقَدَّمَ ٱلْهَدِيَّةَ لِعِجْلُونَ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ. وَكَانَ عِجْلُونُ رَجُلًا سَمِينًا جِدًّا. | ١٧ 17 |
And he presented ye gift vnto Eglon King of Moab (and Eglon was a very fat man)
وَكَانَ لَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى مِنْ تَقْدِيمِ ٱلْهَدِيَّةِ، صَرَفَ ٱلْقَوْمَ حَامِلِي ٱلْهَدِيَّةِ، | ١٨ 18 |
And when he had now presented the present, he sent away the people that bare ye present,
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 turned againe from the quarris, that were by Gilgal, and said, I haue a secret errand vnto thee, O King. Who said, Keepe silence: and all that stoode about him, went out from him.
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 vnto him. (and he sate alone in a sommer parler, which he had) and Ehud said, I haue a message vnto thee from God. Then he arose out of his throne,
فَمَدَّ إِهُودُ يَدَهُ ٱلْيُسْرَى وَأَخَذَ ٱلسَّيْفَ عَنْ فَخْذِهِ ٱلْيُمْنَى وَضَرَبَهُ فِي بَطْنِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and tooke the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his bellie,
فَدَخَلَ ٱلْقَائِمُ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَ ٱلنَّصْلِ، وَطَبَقَ ٱلشَّحْمُ وَرَاءَ ٱلنَّصْلِ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَجْذُبِ ٱلسَّيْفَ مِنْ بَطْنِهِ. وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْحِتَارِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
So that the hafte went in after the blade, and the fatte closed about the blade, so that he could not drawe the dagger out of his bellie, but the dirt came out.
فَخَرَجَ إِهُودُ مِنَ ٱلرِّوَاقِ وَأَغْلَقَ أَبْوَابَ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ وَرَاءَهُ وَأَقْفَلَهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then Ehud gate him out into the porch, and shut the doores of the parler vpon him, and locked them.
وَلَمَّا خَرَجَ، جَاءَ عَبِيدُهُ وَنَظَرُوا وَإِذَا أَبْوَابُ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ مُقْفَلَةٌ، فَقَالُوا: «إِنَّهُ مُغَطٍّ رِجْلَيْهِ فِي مُخْدَعِ ٱلْبُرُودِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
And when he was gone out, his seruantes came: who seeing that the doores of the parler were locked, they sayd, Surely he doeth his easement in his sommer chamber.
فَلَبِثُوا حَتَّى خَجِلُوا وَإِذَا هُوَ لَا يَفْتَحُ أَبْوَابَ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ. فَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمِفْتَاحَ وَفَتَحُوا وَإِذَا سَيِّدُهُمْ سَاقِطٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَيْتًا. | ٢٥ 25 |
And they taryed till they were ashamed: and seeing he opened not the doores of the parler, they tooke the key, and opened them, and behold, their lord was fallen dead on the earth.
وَأَمَّا إِهُودُ فَنَجَا، إِذْ هُمْ مَبْهُوتُونَ، وَعَبَرَ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ وَنَجَا إِلَى سِعِيرَةَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
So Ehud escaped (while they taried) and was passed the quarris, and escaped vnto Seirah.
وَكَانَ عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهِ أَنَّهُ ضَرَبَ بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، فَنَزَلَ مَعْهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَهُوَ قُدَّامَهُمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And when he came home, he blew a trumpet in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel went downe with him from the mountaine, and he went before them.
وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱتْبَعُونِي لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَ أَعْدَاءَكُمُ ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ لِيَدِكُمْ». فَنَزَلُوا وَرَاءَهُ وَأَخَذُوا مَخَاوِضَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى مُوآبَ، وَلَمْ يَدَعُوا أَحَدًا يَعْبُرُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Then said he vnto them, Follow me: for the Lord hath deliuered your enemies, euen Moab into your hand. So they went downe after him, and tooke the passages of Iorden towarde Moab, and suffred not a man to passe ouer.
فَضَرَبُوا مِنْ مُوآبَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ، كُلَّ نَشِيطٍ، وَكُلَّ ذِي بَأْسٍ، وَلَمْ يَنْجُ أَحَدٌ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And they slewe of the Moabites the same time about ten thousand men, all fed men, and all were warriours, and there escaped not a man.
فَذَلَّ ٱلْمُوآبِيُّونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ تَحْتَ يَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً. | ٣٠ 30 |
So Moab was subdued that daye, vnder the hand of Israel: and the land had rest fourescore yeeres.
وَكَانَ بَعْدَهُ شَمْجَرُ بْنُ عَنَاةَ، فَضَرَبَ مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سِتَّ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ بِمِنْسَاسِ ٱلْبَقَرِ. وَهُوَ أَيْضًا خَلَّصَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣١ 31 |
And after him was Shamgar the sonne of Anath, which slewe of the Philistims sixe hundreth men with an oxe goade, and he also deliuered Israel.
