اَلْقُضَاة 7
| فَبَكَّرَ يَرُبَّعْلُ، أَيْ جِدْعُونُ، وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ وَنَزَلُوا عَلَى عَيْنِ حَرُودَ. وَكَانَ جَيْشُ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ شِمَالِيَّهُمْ عِنْدَ تَلِّ مُورَةَ فِي ٱلْوَادِي. | ١ 1 |
And Jerobaal rose early, the same is Gedeon, and all the people with him, and encamped at the fountain of Arad; and the camp of Madiam was to the north of him, [reaching] from Gabaathamorai, in the valley.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «إِنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي مَعَكَ كَثِيرٌ عَلَيَّ لِأَدْفَعَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ بِيَدِهِمْ، لِئَلَّا يَفْتَخِرَ عَلَيَّ إِسْرَائِيلُ قَائِلًا: يَدِي خَلَّصَتْنِي. | ٢ 2 |
And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people with thee [are] many, so that I may not deliver Madiam into their hand, lest at any time Israel boast against me, saying, My hand has saved me.
| وَٱلْآنَ نَادِ فِي آذَانِ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: مَنْ كَانَ خَائِفًا وَمُرْتَعِدًا فَلْيَرْجِعْ وَيَنْصَرِفْ مِنْ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ». فَرَجَعَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱثْنَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا. وَبَقِيَ عَشَرَةُ آلَافٍ. | ٣ 3 |
And now speak in the ears of the people, saying, Who [is] afraid and fearful? let him turn and depart from mount Galaad: and there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and ten thousand were left.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «لَمْ يَزَلِ ٱلشَّعْبُ كَثِيرًا. اِنْزِلْ بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ فَأُنَقِّيَهُمْ لَكَ هُنَاكَ. وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِي أَقُولُ لَكَ عَنْهُ: هَذَا يَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ، فَهُوَ يَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ أَقُولُ لَكَ عَنْهُ: هَذَا لَا يَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ فَهُوَ لَا يَذْهَبُ». | ٤ 4 |
And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people is yet numerous; bring them down to the water, and I will purge them there for thee: and it shall come to pass that of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall go with thee, [even] he shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall not go with thee, [even] he shall not go with thee.
| فَنَزَلَ بِٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ. وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَلَغُ بِلِسَانِهِ مِنَ ٱلْمَاءِ كَمَا يَلَغُ ٱلْكَلْبُ فَأَوْقِفْهُ وَحْدَهُ. وَكَذَا كُلُّ مَنْ جَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ لِلشُّرْبِ». | ٥ 5 |
And he brought the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gedeon, Whosoever shall lap of the water with his tongue as if a dog should lap, thou shalt set him apart, and [also] whosoever shall bow down upon his knees to drink.
| وَكَانَ عَدَدُ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَغُوا بِيَدِهِمْ إِلَى فَمِهِمْ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ. وَأَمَّا بَاقِي ٱلشَّعْبِ جَمِيعًا فَجَثَوْا عَلَى رُكَبِهِمْ لِشُرْبِ ٱلْمَاءِ. | ٦ 6 |
And the number of those that lapped with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed upon their knees to drink water.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «بِٱلثَّلَاثِ مِئَةِ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَغُوا أُخَلِّصُكُمْ وَأَدْفَعُ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ لِيَدِكَ. وَأَمَّا سَائِرُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَلْيَذْهَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ». | ٧ 7 |
And the Lord said to Gedeon, I will save you by the three hundred men that lapped, and I will give Madiam into thy hand; and all the [rest of the] people shall go every one to his place.
| فَأَخَذَ ٱلشَّعْبُ زَادًا بِيَدِهِمْ مَعَ أَبْوَاقِهِمْ. وَأَرْسَلَ سَائِرَ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ، وَأَمْسَكَ ٱلثَّلَاثَ مِئَةِ ٱلرَّجُلِ. وَكَانَتْ مَحَلَّةُ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ تَحْتَهُ فِي ٱلْوَادِي. | ٨ 8 |
And they took the provision of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent away every man of Israel each to his tent, and he strengthened the three hundred; and the army of Madiam were beneath him in the valley.
| وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «قُمِ ٱنْزِلْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ دَفَعْتُهَا إِلَى يَدِكَ. | ٩ 9 |
And it came to pass in that night that the Lord said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into thy hand.
| وَإِنْ كُنْتَ خَائِفًا مِنَ ٱلنُّزُولِ، فَٱنْزِلْ أَنْتَ وَفُورَةُ غُلَامُكَ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، | ١٠ 10 |
And if thou art afraid to go down, go down thou and thy servant Phara into the camp.
| وَتَسْمَعُ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِهِ، وَبَعْدُ تَتَشَدَّدُ يَدَاكَ وَتَنْزِلُ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ». فَنَزَلَ هُوَ وَفُورَةُ غُلَامُهُ إِلَى آخِرِ ٱلْمُتَجَهِّزِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ١١ 11 |
And thou shalt hear what they shall say, and afterwards thy hands shall be strong, and thou shalt go down into the camp: and he went down and Phara his servant to the extremity of the [companies of] fifty, which were in the camp.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيُّونَ وَٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ وَكُلُّ بَنِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ حَالِّينَ فِي ٱلْوَادِي كَٱلْجَرَادِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ، وَجِمَالُهُمْ لَا عَدَدَ لَهَا كَٱلرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And Madiam and Amalec and all the children of the east [were] scattered in the valley, as the locust for multitude; and there was no number to their camels, but they were as the sand on the seashore for multitude.
| وَجَاءَ جِدْعُونُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُخَبِّرُ صَاحِبَهُ بِحُلْمٍ وَيَقُولُ: «هُوَذَا قَدْ حَلُمْتُ حُلْمًا، وَإِذَا رَغِيفُ خُبْزِ شَعِيرٍ يَتَدَحْرَجُ فِي مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَضَرَبَهَا فَسَقَطَتْ، وَقَلَبَهَا إِلَى فَوْقُ فَسَقَطَتِ ٱلْخَيْمَةُ». | ١٣ 13 |
And Gedeon came, and behold a man [was] relating to his neighbour a dream, and he said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread rolling into the camp of Madiam, and it came as far as a tent, and smote it, and it fell, and it turned it up, and the tent fell.
| فَأَجَابَ صَاحِبُهُ وَقَالَ: «لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ إِلأَّ سَيْفَ جِدْعُونَ بْنِ يُوآشَ رَجُلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. قَدْ دَفَعَ ٱللهُ إِلَى يَدِهِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ ٱلْجَيْشِ». | ١٤ 14 |
And his neighbour answered and said, This is none other than the sword of Gedeon, son of Joas, a man of Israel: God has delivered Madiam and all the host into his hand.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ جِدْعُونُ خَبَرَ ٱلْحُلْمِ وَتَفْسِيرَهُ، أَنَّهُ سَجَدَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَحَلَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «قُومُوا لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَ إِلَى يَدِكُمْ جَيْشَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ». | ١٥ 15 |
And it came to pass when Gedeon heard the account of the dream and the interpretation of it, that he worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Rise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Madiam into our hand.
| وَقَسَمَ ٱلثَّلَاثَ مِئَةِ ٱلرَّجُلِ إِلَى ثَلَاثِ فِرَقٍ، وَجَعَلَ أَبْوَاقًا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ كُلِّهِمْ، وَجِرَارًا فَارِغَةً وَمَصَابِيحَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجِرَارِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put horns in the hands of all, and empty pitchers, and torches in the pitchers:
| وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَيَّ وَٱفْعَلُوا كَذَلِكَ. وَهَا أَنَا آتٍ إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، فَيَكُونُ كَمَا أَفْعَلُ أَنَّكُمْ هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُونَ. | ١٧ 17 |
and he said to them, Ye shall look at me, and so shall ye do; and behold, I will go into the beginning of the host, and it shall come to pass [that] as I do, so shall ye do.
| وَمَتَى ضَرَبْتُ بِٱلْبُوقِ أَنَا وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعِي، فَٱضْرِبُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ حَوْلَ كُلِّ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَقُولُوا: لِلرَّبِّ وَلِجِدْعُونَ». | ١٨ 18 |
And I will sound with the horn, and all ye with me shall sound with the horn round about the whole camp, and ye shall say, For the Lord and Gedeon.
| فَجَاءَ جِدْعُونُ وَٱلْمِئَةُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلْهَزِيعِ ٱلْأَوْسَطِ، وَكَانُوا إِذْ ذَاكَ قَدْ أَقَامُوا ٱلْحُرَّاسَ، فَضَرَبُوا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ وَكَسَّرُوا ٱلْجِرَارَ ٱلَّتِي بِأَيْدِيهِمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
And Gedeon and the hundred men that were with him came to the extremity of the army in the beginning of the middle watch; and they completely roused the guards, and sounded with the horns, and they broke the pitchers that were in their hands,
| فَضَرَبَتِ ٱلْفِرَقُ ٱلثَّلَاثُ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ وَكَسَّرُوا ٱلْجِرَارَ، وَأَمْسَكُوا ٱلْمَصَابِيحَ بِأَيْدِيهِمِ ٱلْيُسْرَى وَٱلْأَبْوَاقَ بِأَيْدِيهِمِ ٱلْيُمْنَى لِيَضْرِبُوا بِهَا، وَصَرَخُوا: «سَيْفٌ لِلرَّبِّ وَلِجِدْعُونَ». | ٢٠ 20 |
and the three companies sounded with the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gedeon.
| وَوَقَفُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَكَانِهِ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. فَرَكَضَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَيْشِ وَصَرَخُوا وَهَرَبُوا. | ٢١ 21 |
And [every] man stood in his place round about the host; and all the host ran, and sounded [an alarm], and fled.
| وَضَرَبَ ٱلثَّلَاثُ ٱلْمِئِينَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَيْفَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ بِصَاحِبِهِ وَبِكُلِّ ٱلْجَيْشِ. فَهَرَبَ ٱلْجَيْشُ إِلَى بَيْتِ شِطَّةَ، إِلَى صَرَدَةَ حَتَّى إِلَى حَافَةِ آبَلِ مَحُولَةَ، إِلَى طَبَّاةَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set [every] man's sword in all the host against his neighbour.
| فَٱجْتَمَعَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ نَفْتَالِي وَمِنْ أَشِيرَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ مَنَسَّى وَتَبِعُوا ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And the host fled as far as Bethseed Tagaragatha Abel-meula to Tabath; and the men of Israel from Nephthali, and from Aser, and from all Manasse, came to help, and followed after Madiam.
| فَأَرْسَلَ جِدْعُونُ رُسُلًا إِلَى كُلِّ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ قَائِلًا: «ٱنْزِلُوا لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَخُذُوا مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمِيَاهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ بَارَةَ وَٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». فَٱجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمِيَاهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ بَارَةَ وَٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Madiam, and take to yourselves the water as far as Baethera and Jordan: and every man of Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand unto Baethera and Jordan.
| وَأَمْسَكُوا أَمِيرَيِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ غُرَابًا وَذِئْبًا، وَقَتَلُوا غُرَابًا عَلَى صَخْرَةِ غُرَابٍ، وَأَمَّا ذِئْبٌ فَقَتَلُوهُ فِي مِعْصَرَةِ ذِئْبٍ. وَتَبِعُوا ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَأَتَوْا بِرَأْسَيْ غُرَابٍ وَذِئْبٍ إِلَى جِدْعُونَ مِنْ عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And they took the princess of Madiam, even Oreb and Zeb; and they slew Oreb in Sur Oreb, and they slew Zeb in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Madiam, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon from beyond Jordan.
