قُضاة 11
| وَكَانَ يَفْتَاحُ الْجِلْعَادِيُّ مُحَارِباً شَدِيدَ الْبَأْسِ، أَنْجَبَهُ أَبُوهُ جِلْعَادُ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ عَاهِرَةٍ. | ١ 1 |
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of a harlot, and Gilead begot Jephthah.
| وَأَنْجَبَ جِلْعَادُ أَيْضاً عَدَداً مِنَ الأَبْنَاءِ مِنْ زَوْجَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا كَبُرُوا طَرَدُوا يَفْتَاحَ قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ ابْنُ عَاهِرَةٍ، وَلَنْ تَرِثَ شَيْئاً مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِينَا». | ٢ 2 |
And Gilead's wife bore sons to him. And when his wife's sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said to him, Thou shall not inherit in our father's house, for thou are the son of another woman.
| فَهَرَبَ يَفْتَاحُ مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ وَأَقَامَ فِي أَرْضِ طُوبٍ، فاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ رِجَالٌ بَطَّالُونَ وَتَبِعُوهُ. | ٣ 3 |
Then Jephthah fled from his brothers, and dwelt in the land of Tob. And vain fellows were gathered to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
| وَبَعْدَ زَمَنٍ، حَارَبَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٤ 4 |
And it came to pass after a while, that the sons of Ammon made war against Israel.
| فَمَضَى شُيُوخُ جِلْعَادَ لِيَأْتُوا بِيَفْتَاحَ مِنْ أَرْضِ طُوبٍ، | ٥ 5 |
And it was so, that, when the sons of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob.
| وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «تَعَالَ وَكُنْ قَائِداً لَنَا فِي حَرْبِنَا مَعَ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ». | ٦ 6 |
And they said to Jephthah, Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the sons of Ammon.
| فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَفْتَاحُ: «أَلَمْ تُبْغِضُونِي وَتَطْرُدُونِي مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي؟ فَمَا بَالُكُمْ تَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ فِي ضِيقَتِكُمْ؟» | ٧ 7 |
And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did ye not hate me, and drive me out of my father's house? And why have ye come to me now when ye are in distress?
| فَأَجَابُوهُ: «لأَنَّنَا فِي ضِيقٍ جِئْنَا إِلَيْكَ لِتَرْجِعَ مَعْنَا وَتُحَارِبَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَتَكُونَ رَئِيساً عَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِ جِلْعَادَ». | ٨ 8 |
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, For that reason we turned again to thee now, that thou may go with us, and fight with the sons of Ammon. And thou shall be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنْ أَرْجَعْتُمُونِي لِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَهَزَمَهُمُ الرَّبُّ أَمَامِي، فَهَلْ حَقّاً تَجْعَلُونَنِي رَئِيساً عَلَيْكُمْ؟» | ٩ 9 |
And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight with the sons of Ammon, and Jehovah delivers them before me, shall I be your head?
| فَأَجَابُوهُ: «الرَّبُّ شَاهِدٌ بَيْنَنَا إِنْ كُنَّا لَا نَفْعَلُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ». | ١٠ 10 |
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Jehovah shall be witness between us. Surely according to thy word so will we do.
| فَانْطَلَقَ يَفْتَاحُ مَعَ شُيُوخِ جِلْعَادَ فَنَصَبَهُ الشَّعْبُ عَلَيْهِمْ رَئِيساً وَقَائِداً، وَرَدَّدَ يَفْتَاحُ تَعَهُّدَاتِهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ. | ١١ 11 |
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them. And Jephthah spoke all his words before Jehovah in Mizpah.
| ثُمَّ بَعَثَ يَفْتَاحُ رُسُلاً إِلَى مَلِكِ عَمُّونَ يَسْأَلُهُ: «مَاذَا تُضْمِرُ ضِدَّنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْتَ لِتُهَاجِمَنَا فِي بِلادِنَا؟» | ١٢ 12 |
And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, What have thou to do with me, that thou have come to me to fight against my land?
| فَأَجَابَ مَلِكُ عَمُّونَ رُسُلَ يَفْتَاحَ: «لأَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدِ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَى أَرْضِي عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ مِنْ مِصْرَ مِنْ أَرْنُونَ إِلَى يَبُّوقَ حَتَّى نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ. وَالآنَ رُدَّهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ حَرْبٍ». | ١٣ 13 |
And the king of the sons of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
| فَعَادَ يَفْتَاحُ فَبَعَثَ رُسُلاً إِلَى مَلِكِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، | ١٤ 14 |
And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the sons of Ammon.
| قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: «هَذَا مَا يُجِيبُكَ بِهِ يَفْتَاحُ: إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَسْتَوْلُوا عَلَى أَرْضِ مُوآبَ وَلا عَلَى أَرْضِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، | ١٥ 15 |
And he said to him, Thus says Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the sons of Ammon,
| لأَنَّهُ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ سَارُوا فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا الْبَحْرَ الأَحْمَرَ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى قَادَشَ. | ١٦ 16 |
but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh,
| ثُمَّ بَعَثَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ رُسُلاً إِلَى مَلِكِ أَدُومَ يَقُولُونَ لَهُ: دَعْنَا نَجْتَازُ فِي أَرْضِكَ. فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَهُمْ مَلِكُ أَدُومَ. ثُمَّ بَعَثُوا رُسُلاً أَيْضاً إِلَى مَلِكِ مُوآبَ فَرَفَضَ هُوَ الآخَرُ. فَمَكَثَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي قَادَشَ. | ١٧ 17 |
then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land, but the king of Edom did not hearken. And in like manner he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not. And Israel abode in Kadesh.
| ثُمَّ دَارُوا فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ مُلْتَفِّينَ حَوْلَ أَرْضِ أَدُومَ وَأَرْضِ مُوآبَ قَادِمِينَ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ إِلَى أَرْضِ مُوآبَ، وَخَيَّمُوا وَرَاءَ حُدُودِ أَرْنُونَ، وَلَمْ يَعْبُرُوا إِلَى تُخْمِ مُوآبَ لأَنَّ أَرْنُونَ هِيَ حَدُّ مُوآبَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab. And they encamped on the other side of the Arnon, but they did not come within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.
| بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَعَثَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ رُسُلاً إِلَى سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ فِي عَاصِمَتِهِ حَشْبُونَ يَقُولُونَ: دَعْنَا نَعْبُرُ فِي أَرْضِكَ إِلَى حَيْثُ نَحْنُ مُتَوَجِّهُونَ. | ١٩ 19 |
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon. And Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land to my place.
| وَلَكِنَّ سِيحُونَ لَمْ يَأْمَنْ أَنْ يَعْبُرَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي أَرْضِهِ، بَلْ حَشَدَ كُلَّ جَيْشِهِ وَعَسْكَرَ فِي يَاهَصَ وَحَارَبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
| فَنَصَرَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبَهُ عَلَى سِيحُونَ وَجَيْشِهِ، فَهَزَمُوهُمْ وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ سُكَّانِ تِلْكَ الْبِلادِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And Jehovah, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them. So Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
| فَامْتَلَكُوا كُلَّ بِلادِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ مِنْ أَرْنُونَ فِي الْجَنُوبِ إِلَى الْيَبُّوقِ فِي الشِّمَالِ، وَمِنَ الصَّحْرَاءِ فِي الشَّرْقِ إِلَى نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ فِي الْغَرْبِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And they possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
| وَالآنَ وَقَدْ طَرَدَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ مِنْ أَمَامِ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٢٣ 23 |
So now Jehovah, the God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should thou possess them?
| فَبِأَيِّ حَقٍّ تُرِيدُ أَنْتَ أَنْ تَسْتَرِدَّهَا؟ أَلَسْتَ تَحْتَفِظُ بِمَا أَعْطَاهُ لَكَ كَمُوشُ إِلَهُكَ؟ وَنَحْتَفِظُ نَحْنُ أَيْضاً بِمَا أَعْطَاهُ لَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
Will thou not possess that which Chemosh thy god gives thee to possess? So whomever Jehovah our God has dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.
| ثُمَّ هَلْ أَنْتَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ بَالاقَ بْنِ صِفُّورَ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ؟ هَلْ خَاصَمَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ أَثَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَرْباً؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
And now are thou anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
| لَقَدْ أَقَامَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي حَشْبُونَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَعَرُوعِيرَ وَقُرَاهَا وَكُلِّ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي عَلَى مُحَاذَاةِ نَهْرِ أَرْنُونَ ثَلاثَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ، فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تَسْتَرِدَّهَا طَوَالَ تِلْكَ الْحِقْبَةِ؟ | ٢٦ 26 |
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years, why did ye not recover them within that time?
| إِنَّنِي لَمْ أُسِئْ إِلَيْكَ، أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَرْتَكِبُ شَرّاً فِي حَقِّي بِإِثَارَتِكَ الْحَرْبَ عَلَيَّ. فَلْيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ الْيَوْمَ قَاضِياً بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ». | ٢٧ 27 |
I therefore have not sinned against thee, but thou do me wrong to war against me. Jehovah, the Judge, be judge this day between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.
| فَلَمْ يَأْبَهْ مَلِكُ بَنِي عَمُّونَ لِرِسَالَةِ يَفْتَاحَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
However the king of the sons of Ammon did not hearken to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
| فَحَلَّ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى يَفْتَاحَ، فَاجْتَازَ أَرَاضِي جِلْعَادَ وَمَنَسَّى وَمِصْفَاةَ جِلْعَادَ، وَمِنْهَا تَقَدَّمَ نَحْوَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Then the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over to the sons of Ammon.
| وَنَذَرَ يَفْتَاحُ نَذْراً لِلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «إِنْ نَصَرْتَنِي عَلَى بَنِي عَمُّونَ، | ٣٠ 30 |
And Jephthah vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If thou will indeed deliver the sons of Ammon into my hand,
| فَإِنَّنِي عِنْدَ رُجُوعِي سَالِماً مِنْ مُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ أُصْعِدُ لِلرَّبِّ مُحْرَقَةً: أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِي لِلِقَائِي». | ٣١ 31 |
then it shall be, that whatever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, it shall be Jehovah's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
| ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ يَفْتَاحُ لِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، فَأَظْفَرَهُ الرَّبُّ بِهِمْ، | ٣٢ 32 |
So Jephthah passed over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them, and Jehovah delivered them into his hand.
| وَهَزَمَهُمْ هَزِيمَةً مُنْكَرَةً مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ حَتَّى مِنِّيتَ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ عِشْرِينَ مَدِينَةً إِلَى آبَلِ الْكُرُومِ. وَهَكَذَا أَخْضَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to Abelcheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَفْتَاحُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ، فَخَرَجَتِ ابْنَتُهُ الْوَحِيدَةُ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ابْنٌ أَوِ ابْنَةٌ سِوَاهَا، لِلِقَائِهِ بِدُفُوفٍ وَرَقْصٍ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances. And she was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.
| فَلَمَّا رَآهَا مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَوَلْوَلَ قَائِلاً: «آهِ يَا ابْنَتِي، لَقَدْ أَحْزَنْتِنِي وَحَطَّمْتِنِي، لأَنَّنِي نَذَرْتُ نَذْراً لِلرَّبِّ وَلا سَبِيلَ لِلرُّجُوعِ عَنْهُ». | ٣٥ 35 |
And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! Thou have brought me very low, and thou are one of those who trouble me, for I have opened my mouth to Jehovah, and I cannot go back.
| فَأَجَابَتْهُ: «لَقَدْ نَذَرْتَ نَذْرَكَ لِلرَّبِّ، فَافْعَلْ بِي كَمَا نَذَرْتَ، وَلاسِيَّمَا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدِ انْتَقَمَ لَكَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ». | ٣٦ 36 |
And she said to him, My father, thou have opened thy mouth to Jehovah. Do to me according to that which has proceeded out of thy mouth, inasmuch as Jehovah has taken vengeance for thee on thine enemies, even on the sons of Ammon.
| ثُمَّ قَالَتْ لأَبِيهَا: «وَلَكِنْ حَقِّقْ لِي هَذَا الطَّلَبَ: أَمْهِلْنِي شَهْرَيْنِ أَتَجَوَّلُ فِيهِمَا فِي الْجِبَالِ وَأَنْدُبُ عَذْرَاوِيَّتِي مَعَ صَاحِبَاتِي». | ٣٧ 37 |
And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: Let me alone two months, that I may depart and go down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «اذْهَبِي». وَأَمْهَلَهَا شَهْرَيْنِ قَضَتْهُمَا هِيَ وَصَاحِبَاتُهَا عَلَى الْجِبَالِ تَنْدُبُ عَذْرَاوِيَّتَهَا. | ٣٨ 38 |
And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months. And she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ فِي نِهَايَةِ الشَّهْرَيْنِ إِلَى أَبِيهَا، فَأَصْعَدَهَا مُحْرَقَةً وَفَاءً بِنَذْرِهِ، فَمَاتَتْ عَذْرَاءَ، | ٣٩ 39 |
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed, and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
| فَصَارَ مِنْ عَادَةِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّاتِ أَنْ يَذْهَبْنَ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي السَّنَةِ لِيَنُحْنَ عَلَى ابْنَةِ يَفْتَاحَ الْجِلْعَادِيِّ. | ٤٠ 40 |
that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
