< 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], five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
كَانُوا لِٱمْتِحَانِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِهِمْ، لِكَيْ يُعْلَمَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَى بِهَا آبَاءَهُمْ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى. | ٤ 4 |
And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken 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 |
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
وَٱتَّخَذُوا بَنَاتِهِمْ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ نِسَاءً، وَأَعْطَوْا بَنَاتِهِمْ لِبَنِيهِمْ وَعَبَدُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served 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 sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served Baalim, and the groves.
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 hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim 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 cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, [even] 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 upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. وَمَاتَ عُثْنِيئِيلُ بْنُ قَنَازَ. | ١١ 11 |
And 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 |
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
فَجَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَعَمَالِيقَ، وَسَارَ وَضَرَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱمْتَلَكُوا مَدِينَةَ ٱلنَّخْلِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm-trees.
فَعَبَدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عِجْلُونَ مَلِكَ مُوآبَ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
So 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 deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjaminite, a man left-handed: and by him the children of Israel sent a present to Eglon king of Moab.
فَعَمِلَ إِهُودُ لِنَفْسِهِ سَيْفًا، ذَا حَدَّيْنِ طُولُهُ ذِرَاعٌ، وَتَقَلَّدَهُ تَحْتَ ثِيَابِهِ عَلَى فَخْذِهِ ٱلْيُمْنَى. | ١٦ 16 |
But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
وَقَدَّمَ ٱلْهَدِيَّةَ لِعِجْلُونَ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ. وَكَانَ عِجْلُونُ رَجُلًا سَمِينًا جِدًّا. | ١٧ 17 |
And he brought the present to 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 made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bore the 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 himself turned again from the quarries that [were] by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that 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 |
And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting in a summer-parlor, which he had for himself alone: and Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose from [his] seat.
فَمَدَّ إِهُودُ يَدَهُ ٱلْيُسْرَى وَأَخَذَ ٱلسَّيْفَ عَنْ فَخْذِهِ ٱلْيُمْنَى وَضَرَبَهُ فِي بَطْنِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger 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 haft also entered after the blade: and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
فَخَرَجَ إِهُودُ مِنَ ٱلرِّوَاقِ وَأَغْلَقَ أَبْوَابَ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ وَرَاءَهُ وَأَقْفَلَهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor upon him, and locked them.
وَلَمَّا خَرَجَ، جَاءَ عَبِيدُهُ وَنَظَرُوا وَإِذَا أَبْوَابُ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ مُقْفَلَةٌ، فَقَالُوا: «إِنَّهُ مُغَطٍّ رِجْلَيْهِ فِي مُخْدَعِ ٱلْبُرُودِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
When he had gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlor [were] locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer-chamber.
فَلَبِثُوا حَتَّى خَجِلُوا وَإِذَا هُوَ لَا يَفْتَحُ أَبْوَابَ ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ. فَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمِفْتَاحَ وَفَتَحُوا وَإِذَا سَيِّدُهُمْ سَاقِطٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَيْتًا. | ٢٥ 25 |
And they tarried till they were ashamed: and behold, he opened not the doors of the parlor, therefore they took a key and opened [them]: and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
وَأَمَّا إِهُودُ فَنَجَا، إِذْ هُمْ مَبْهُوتُونَ، وَعَبَرَ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ وَنَجَا إِلَى سِعِيرَةَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And Ehud escaped while they tarried; and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirath.
وَكَانَ عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهِ أَنَّهُ ضَرَبَ بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، فَنَزَلَ مَعْهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَهُوَ قُدَّامَهُمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And it came to pass when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, 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 |
And he said to them, Follow me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan towards Moab, and suffered not 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 |
And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men 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: and the land had rest eighty years.
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 slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also delivered Israel.
