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 |
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the army of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, 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 Yhwh said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath 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 |
Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
| 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 Yhwh said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
| 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 |
So he brought down the people unto the water: And Yhwh said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth 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 them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down 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 Yhwh said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto 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 |
So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the army of Midian was 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 the same night, that Yhwh said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the army; for I have delivered it into thine hand.
| وَإِنْ كُنْتَ خَائِفًا مِنَ ٱلنُّزُولِ، فَٱنْزِلْ أَنْتَ وَفُورَةُ غُلَامُكَ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، | ١٠ 10 |
But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the army:
| 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 say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the army. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the army.
| 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 the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side 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 when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the army of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.
| فَأَجَابَ صَاحِبُهُ وَقَالَ: «لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ إِلأَّ سَيْفَ جِدْعُونَ بْنِ يُوآشَ رَجُلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. قَدْ دَفَعَ ٱللهُ إِلَى يَدِهِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ ٱلْجَيْشِ». | ١٤ 14 |
And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the army.
| 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 was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the army of Israel, and said, Arise; for Yhwh hath delivered into your hand the army of Midian.
| 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 he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within 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 unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be 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 |
When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of Yhwh, and of Gideon.
| 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 |
So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake 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 blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of Yhwh, and of Gideon.
| وَوَقَفُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَكَانِهِ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. فَرَكَضَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَيْشِ وَصَرَخُوا وَهَرَبُوا. | ٢١ 21 |
And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the army ran, and cried, 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 the three hundred blew the trumpets, And Yhwh set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the army: and the army fled to Beth–shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel–meholah, unto Tabbath.
| فَٱجْتَمَعَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ نَفْتَالِي وَمِنْ أَشِيرَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ مَنَسَّى وَتَبِعُوا ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
| 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 Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Beth–barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Beth–barah 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 two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.
