< 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 left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
إِنَّمَا لِمَعْرِفَةِ أَجْيَالِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِتَعْلِيمِهِمْ ٱلْحَرْبَ. ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا قَبْلُ فَقَطْ: | ٢ 2 |
only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it:
أَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱلْخَمْسَةُ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلصِّيْدُونِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ سُكَّانِ جَبَلِ لُبْنَانَ، مِنْ جَبَلِ بَعْلِ حَرْمُونَ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ. | ٣ 3 |
namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to Lebo Hamath.
كَانُوا لِٱمْتِحَانِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِهِمْ، لِكَيْ يُعْلَمَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَى بِهَا آبَاءَهُمْ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى. | ٤ 4 |
They were left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments 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 |
The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hethites, 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 their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
فَعَمِلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَنَسُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ وَٱلسَّوَارِيَ. | ٧ 7 |
The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَبَاعَهُمْ بِيَدِ كُوشَانَ رِشَعْتَايِمَ مَلِكِ أَرَامِ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ. فَعَبَدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُوشَانَ رِشَعْتَايِمَ ثَمَانِيَ سِنِينَ. | ٨ 8 |
Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim eight years.
وَصَرَخَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَقَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَخَلَّصَهُمْ، عُثْنِيئِيلَ بْنَ قَنَازَ أَخَا كَالِبَ ٱلْأَصْغَرَ. | ٩ 9 |
When the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother; and he obeyed him.
فَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَقَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. وَخَرَجَ لِلْحَرْبِ فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَدِهِ كُوشَانَ رِشَعْتَايِمَ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ، وَٱعْتَزَّتْ يَدُهُ عَلَى كُوشَانِ رِشَعْتَايِمَ. | ١٠ 10 |
The Ruach of the LORD came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. وَمَاتَ عُثْنِيئِيلُ بْنُ قَنَازَ. | ١١ 11 |
The land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
وَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَشَدَّدَ ٱلرَّبُّ عِجْلُونَ مَلِكَ مُوآبَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٢ 12 |
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
فَجَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَعَمَالِيقَ، وَسَارَ وَضَرَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱمْتَلَكُوا مَدِينَةَ ٱلنَّخْلِ. | ١٣ 13 |
He gathered to him the people of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
فَعَبَدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عِجْلُونَ مَلِكَ مُوآبَ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab 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 |
But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
فَعَمِلَ إِهُودُ لِنَفْسِهِ سَيْفًا، ذَا حَدَّيْنِ طُولُهُ ذِرَاعٌ، وَتَقَلَّدَهُ تَحْتَ ثِيَابِهِ عَلَى فَخْذِهِ ٱلْيُمْنَى. | ١٦ 16 |
Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, eighteen inches in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right thigh.
وَقَدَّمَ ٱلْهَدِيَّةَ لِعِجْلُونَ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ. وَكَانَ عِجْلُونُ رَجُلًا سَمِينًا جِدًّا. | ١٧ 17 |
He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
وَكَانَ لَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى مِنْ تَقْدِيمِ ٱلْهَدِيَّةِ، صَرَفَ ٱلْقَوْمَ حَامِلِي ٱلْهَدِيَّةِ، | ١٨ 18 |
When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.
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 turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." The king said, "Keep silence." All who stood by 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 |
Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, "I have a message from God to you, O king." He arose out of his seat.
فَمَدَّ إِهُودُ يَدَهُ ٱلْيُسْرَى وَأَخَذَ ٱلسَّيْفَ عَنْ فَخْذِهِ ٱلْيُمْنَى وَضَرَبَهُ فِي بَطْنِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And it happened as he rose up that Ehud put forth his left hand and took the sword from his right thigh and thrust it into his belly.
فَدَخَلَ ٱلْقَائِمُ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَ ٱلنَّصْلِ، وَطَبَقَ ٱلشَّحْمُ وَرَاءَ ٱلنَّصْلِ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَجْذُبِ ٱلسَّيْفَ مِنْ بَطْنِهِ. وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْحِتَارِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And the handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn't draw the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.
فَخَرَجَ إِهُودُ مِنَ ٱلرِّوَاقِ وَأَغْلَقَ أَبْوَابَ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ وَرَاءَهُ وَأَقْفَلَهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
وَلَمَّا خَرَجَ، جَاءَ عَبِيدُهُ وَنَظَرُوا وَإِذَا أَبْوَابُ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ مُقْفَلَةٌ، فَقَالُوا: «إِنَّهُ مُغَطٍّ رِجْلَيْهِ فِي مُخْدَعِ ٱلْبُرُودِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and look, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, "Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room."
فَلَبِثُوا حَتَّى خَجِلُوا وَإِذَا هُوَ لَا يَفْتَحُ أَبْوَابَ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ. فَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمِفْتَاحَ وَفَتَحُوا وَإِذَا سَيِّدُهُمْ سَاقِطٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَيْتًا. | ٢٥ 25 |
They waited until they were ashamed; and look, he did not open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them, and look, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
وَأَمَّا إِهُودُ فَنَجَا، إِذْ هُمْ مَبْهُوتُونَ، وَعَبَرَ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ وَنَجَا إِلَى سِعِيرَةَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
وَكَانَ عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهِ أَنَّهُ ضَرَبَ بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، فَنَزَلَ مَعْهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَهُوَ قُدَّامَهُمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
It happened, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he 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 |
He said to them, "Follow after me; for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." They went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and did not allow a man to pass over.
فَضَرَبُوا مِنْ مُوآبَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ، كُلَّ نَشِيطٍ، وَكُلَّ ذِي بَأْسٍ، وَلَمْ يَنْجُ أَحَدٌ. | ٢٩ 29 |
They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; 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 day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had rest eighty years. And Ehud judged them until he died.
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 son of Anath, who alone struck down six hundred men of the Philistines with an oxgoad. And he also saved Israel.
