اَلْقُضَاة 4
| وَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ إِهُودَ، | ١ 1 |
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord after the death of Aod,
| فَبَاعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِيَدِ يَابِينَ مَلِكِ كَنْعَانَ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فِي حَاصُورَ. وَرَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ سِيسَرَا، وَهُوَ سَاكِنٌ فِي حَرُوشَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ. | ٢ 2 |
And the Lord delivered them up into the hands of Jaban king of Chanaan, who reigned in Asor: and he had a general of his army named Sisara, and he dwelt in Haroseth of the Gentiles.
| فَصَرَخَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ تِسْعُ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَهُوَ ضَايَقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِشِدَّةٍ، عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. | ٣ 3 |
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots set with scythes, and for twenty years had grievously oppressed them.
| وَدَبُورَةُ ٱمْرَأَةٌ نَبِيَّةٌ زَوْجَةُ لَفِيدُوتَ، هِيَ قَاضِيَةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ. | ٤ 4 |
And there was at that time Debbora a prophetess the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people,
| وَهِيَ جَالِسَةٌ تَحْتَ نَخْلَةِ دَبُورَةَ بَيْنَ ٱلرَّامَةِ وَبَيْتِ إِيلَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ. وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِلْقَضَاءِ. | ٥ 5 |
And she sat under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Rama and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for all judgment.
| فَأَرْسَلَتْ وَدَعَتْ بَارَاقَ بْنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ مِنْ قَادَشِ نَفْتَالِي، وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «أَلَمْ يَأْمُرِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: اِذْهَبْ وَٱزْحَفْ إِلَى جَبَلِ تَابُورَ، وَخُذْ مَعَكَ عَشْرَةَ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي نَفْتَالِي وَمِنْ بَنِي زَبُولُونَ، | ٦ 6 |
And she sent and called Barac the son of Abinoem out of Cedes in Nephtali: and she said to him: The Lord God of Israel hath commanded thee: Go, and lead an army to mount Thabor, and thou shalt take with thee ten thousand fighting men of the children of Nephtali, and of the children of Zabulon:
| فَأَجْذُبَ إِلَيْكَ، إِلَى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ سِيسَرَا رَئِيسَ جَيْشِ يَابِينَ بِمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَجُمْهُورِهِ وَأَدْفَعَهُ لِيَدِكَ؟» | ٧ 7 |
And I will bring unto thee in the place of the torrent Cison, Sisara the general of Jabin’s army, and his chariots, and all his multitude, and will deliver them into thy hand.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا بَارَاقُ: «إِنْ ذَهَبْتِ مَعِي أَذْهَبْ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَذْهَبِي مَعِي فَلَا أَذْهَبُ». | ٨ 8 |
And Barac said to her: If thou wilt come with me, I will go: if thou wilt not come with me, I will not go.
| فَقَالَتْ: «إِنِّي أَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ لَكَ فَخْرٌ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ سَائِرٌ فِيهَا. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَبِيعُ سِيسَرَا بِيَدِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ». فَقَامَتْ دَبُورَةُ وَذَهَبَتْ مَعَ بَارَاقَ إِلَى قَادَشَ. | ٩ 9 |
She said to him: I will go indeed with thee, but at this time the victory shall not be attributed to thee, because Sisara shall be delivered into the hand of a woman. Debbora therefore arose, and went with Barac to Cedes.
| وَدَعَا بَارَاقُ زَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِيَ إِلَى قَادَشَ، وَصَعِدَ وَمَعَهُ عَشَرَةُ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ. وَصَعِدَتْ دَبُورَةُ مَعَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
And he called unto him Zabulon and Nepbtali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company.
| وَحَابِرُ ٱلْقَيْنِيُّ ٱنْفَرَدَ مِنْ قَايِنَ، مِنْ بَنِي حُوبَابَ حَمِي مُوسَى، وَخَيَّمَ حَتَّى إِلَى بَلُّوطَةٍ فِي صَعَنَايِمَ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ قَادَشَ. | ١١ 11 |
Now Haber the Cinite had some time before departed from the rest of the Cinites his brethren the sons of Hobab, the kinsman of Moses: and had pitched his tents unto the valley which is called Sellnim, and was near Cedes.
| وَأَخْبَرُوا سِيسَرَا بِأَنَّهُ قَدْ صَعِدَ بَارَاقُ بْنُ أَبِينُوعَمَ إِلَى جَبَلِ تَابُورَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And it was told Sisara, that Barac the son of Ablinoem was gone up to mount Thabor:
| فَدَعَا سِيسَرَا جَمِيعَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ، تِسْعَ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَجَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ مِنْ حَرُوشَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ إِلَى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ. | ١٣ 13 |
And he gathered together his nine hundred chariots armed with scythes, and all his army from Haroseth of the Gentiles to the torrent Cison.
| فَقَالَتْ دَبُورَةُ لِبَارَاقَ: «قُمْ، لِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِي دَفَعَ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ سِيسَرَا لِيَدِكَ. أَلَمْ يَخْرُجِ ٱلرَّبُّ قُدَّامَكَ؟» فَنَزَلَ بَارَاقُ مِنْ جَبَلِ تَابُورَ وَوَرَاءَهُ عَشْرَةُ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for this is the day wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisara into thy hands: behold he is thy leader. And Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with him.
| فَأَزْعَجَ ٱلرَّبُّ سِيسَرَا وَكُلَّ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَكُلَّ ٱلْجَيْشِ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ أَمَامَ بَارَاقَ. فَنَزَلَ سِيسَرَا عَنِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ وَهَرَبَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And the Lord struck a terror into Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his multitude, with the edge of the sword, at the sight of Barac, insomuch that Sisara leaping down from off his chariot, fled away on foot.
| وَتَبِعَ بَارَاقُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَٱلْجَيْشَ إِلَى حَرُوشَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ. وَسَقَطَ كُلُّ جَيْشِ سِيسَرَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. لَمْ يَبْقَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ. | ١٦ 16 |
And Barac pursued after the fleeing chariots and the army unto Haroseth of the Gentiles, and all the multitude of the enemies was utterly destroyed.
| وَأَمَّا سِيسَرَا فَهَرَبَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ يَاعِيلَ ٱمْرَأَةِ حَابِرَ ٱلْقَيْنِيِّ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ صُلْحٌ بَيْنَ يَابِينَ مَلِكِ حَاصُورَ وَبَيْتِ حَابِرَ ٱلْقَيْنِيِّ. | ١٧ 17 |
But Sisara fleeing came to the tent of Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Asor, and the house of Haber the Cinite.
| فَخَرَجَتْ يَاعِيلُ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِ سِيسَرَا وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «مِلْ يَا سَيِّدِي، مِلْ إِلَيَّ. لَا تَخَفْ». فَمَالَ إِلَيْهَا إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَغَطَّتْهُ بِٱللِّحَافِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And Jahel went forth to meet Sisara, and said to him: Come in to me, my lord, come in, fear not. He went in to her tent, and being covered by her with a cloak,
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «ٱسْقِينِي قَلِيلَ مَاءٍ لِأَنِّي قَدْ عَطِشْتُ». فَفَتَحَتْ وَطَبَ ٱللَّبَنِ وَأَسْقَتْهُ ثُمَّ غَطَّتْهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
Said to her: Give me, I beseech thee, a little water, for I am very thirsty. She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «قِفِي بِبَابِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ، وَيَكُونُ إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدٌ وَسَأَلَكِ: أَهُنَا رَجُلٌ؟ أَنَّكِ تَقُولِينَ لَا». | ٢٠ 20 |
And Sisara said to her: Stand before the door of the tent, and when any shall come and inquire of thee, saying: Is there any man here? thou shalt say: There is none.
| فَأَخَذَتْ يَاعِيلُ ٱمْرَأَةُ حَابِرَ وَتَدَ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَجَعَلَتِ ٱلْمِيتَدَةَ فِي يَدِهَا، وَقَارَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَضَرَبَتِ ٱلْوَتَدَ فِي صُدْغِهِ فَنَفَذَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَهُوَ مُتَثَقِّلٌ فِي ٱلنَّوْمِ وَمُتْعَبٌ، فَمَاتَ. | ٢١ 21 |
So Jahel Haber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and taking also a hammer: and going in softly, and with silence, she put the nail upon the temples of his head, and striking it With the hammer, drove it through his brain fast into the ground: and so passing from deep sleep to death, he fainted away and died.
| وَإِذَا بِبَارَاقَ يُطَارِدُ سِيسَرَا، فَخَرَجَتْ يَاعِيلُ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «تَعَالَ فَأُرِيَكَ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ طَالِبُهُ». فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِذَا سِيسَرَا سَاقِطٌ مَيْتًا وَٱلْوَتَدُ فِي صُدْغِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And behold Barac came pursuing after Sisara: and Jahel went out to meet him, and said to him: Come, and I will shew thee, the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, be saw Sisara lying dead, and the nail fastened in his temples.
| فَأَذَلَّ ٱللهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَابِينَ مَلِكَ كَنْعَانَ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So God that day humbled Jabin the king of Chanaan before the children of Israel:
| وَأَخَذَتْ يَدُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَتَزَايَدُ وَتَقْسُو عَلَى يَابِينَ مَلِكِ كَنْعَانَ حَتَّى قَرَضُوا يَابِينَ مَلِكَ كَنْعَانَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Who grew daily stronger, and with a mighty hand overpowered Jabin king of Chanaan, till they quite destroyed him.
