قُضاة 14
| وَذَهَبَ شَمْشُونُ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ حَيْثُ رَاقَتْهُ فَتَاةٌ مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ | ١ 1 |
And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines, and she was right in his eyes.
| فَرَجَعَ إِلَى وَالِدَيْهِ وَأَخْبَرَهُمَا قَائِلاً: «رَاقَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ فِي تِمْنَةَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَزَوِّجَانِي مِنْهَا». | ٢ 2 |
He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as wife."
| فَقَالَ لَهُ وَالِدَاهُ: «أَلَمْ تَجِدْ بَيْنَ بَنَاتِ أَقْرِبَائِكَ وَفِي قَوْمِنَا فَتَاةً، حَتَّى تَذْهَبَ وَتَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الْغُلْفِ؟» فَأَجَابَ شَمْشُونُ أَبَاهُ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ الْفَتَاةُ الَّتِي رَاقَتْنِي فَزَوِّجْنِي إِيَّاهَا». | ٣ 3 |
Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes."
| وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْ وَالِدَاهُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ الأَمْرَ كَانَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، الَّذِي كَانَ يَلْتَمِسُ عِلَّةً ضِدَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا آنَئِذٍ مُتَسَلِّطِينَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤ 4 |
But his father and his mother did not know that it was of YHWH, for he sought for an opportunity against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
| فَانْحَدَرَ شَمْشُونُ وَوَالِدَاهُ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا كُرُومَهَا، وَإذَا بِشِبْلِ أَسَدٍ يَتَحَفَّزُ مُزَمْجِراً لِلانْقِضَاضِ عَلَيْهِ، | ٥ 5 |
Then Samson went down with his father and his mother to Timnah. And he turned aside and went into the vineyards of Timnah, and look, a young lion roared against him.
| فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ فَقَبَضَ عَلَى الأَسَدِ وَشَقَّهُ إِلَى نِصْفَيْنِ وَكَأَنَّهُ جَدْيٌ صَغِيرٌ، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهُ سِلاحٌ. وَلَمْ يُنْبِئْ وَالِدَيْهِ بِمَا فَعَلَ. | ٦ 6 |
And the Spirit of YHWH rushed upon him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat. And he had nothing in his hand, but he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
| ثُمَّ مَضَى إِلَى الْفَتَاةِ وَخَاطَبَهَا فَازْدَادَ بِها إِعْجَاباً. | ٧ 7 |
He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعَ شَمْشُونُ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ لِيَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْهَا مَالَ لِيُلْقِيَ نَظْرَةً عَلَى جُثَّةِ الأَسَدِ، فَوَجَدَ فِي جَوْفِهَا سَرْباً مِنَ النَّحْلِ وَبَعْضَ الْعَسَلِ، | ٨ 8 |
After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and look, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
| فَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهُ قَدْراً عَلَى كَفِّهِ وَمَضَى وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ. ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى وَالِدَيْهِ فَأَعْطَاهُمَا فَأَكَلا، وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْهُمَا أَنَّهُ اشْتَارَ الْعَسَلَ مِنْ جَوْفِ الأَسْدِ. | ٩ 9 |
He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
| وَذَهَبَ وَالِدُهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْعَرُوسِ، فَأَقَامَ شَمْشُونُ هُنَاكَ وَلِيمَةً كَمَا تَقْتَضِي أَعْرَافُ الزَّوَاجِ. | ١٠ 10 |
His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
| وَدَعَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ ثَلاثِينَ شَابّاً لِيُنَادِمُوهُ (فِي فَتْرَةِ الاحْتِفَالِ بِزَوَاجِهِ). | ١١ 11 |
It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «سَأُلْقِي عَلَيْكُمْ أُحْجِيَّةً، فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُمْ حَلَّهَا الصَّحِيحَ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامِ الْوَلِيمَةِ أُعْطِيكُمْ ثَلاثِينَ قَمِيصاً وَثَلاثِينَ حُلَّةَ ثِيَابٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
Samson said to them, "Let me now put forth a riddle to you. If you can explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and figure it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.
| أَمَّا إِنْ عَجَزْتُمْ عَنْهَا فَسَتُعْطُونِي أَنْتُمْ ثَلاثِينَ قَمِيصاً وَثَلاثِينَ حُلَّةَ ثِيَابٍ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَاتِ أُحْجِيَّتَكَ فَنَسْمَعَهَا». | ١٣ 13 |
But if you can't explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." And they said to him, "Propose your riddle, we want to hear it."
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مِنَ الآكِلِ خَرَجَ أُكْلٌ، وَمِنَ الْقَوِيِّ خَرَجَتْ حَلاوَةٌ». وَانْقَضَتْ ثَلاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَجِدُوا لَهَا حَلاً. | ١٤ 14 |
He said to them, "Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness." They couldn't in three days declare the riddle.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ قَالُوا لِزَوْجَةِ شَمْشُونَ: «تَمَلَّقِي زَوْجَكِ لِيَكْشِفَ لَنَا عَنْ حَلِّ الأُحْجِيَّةِ، لِئَلّا نُضْرِمَ النَّارَ فِيكِ وَفِي بَيْتِ أَبِيكِ. أَدَعَوْتُمُونَا إِلَى الْوَلِيمَةِ لِتَسْلِبُونَا؟» | ١٥ 15 |
And it happened on the fourth day, that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Did you invite us here to impoverish us?"
| فَبَكَتِ امْرَأَةُ شَمْشُونَ لَدَيْهِ قَائِلَةً: «أَنْتَ تَمْقُتُنِي وَلا تُحِبُّنِي حَقّاً. فَقَدْ طَرَحْتَ عَلَى بَنِي قَوْمِي أُحْجِيَّةً وَلَمْ تُطْلِعْنِي عَلَى حَلِّهَا». فَقَالَ لَهَا: «هُوَذَا أَبِي وَأُمِّي لَمْ أُطْلِعْهُمَا عَلَى حَلِّهَا، فَلِمَاذَا أُخْبِرُكِ أَنْتِ بِهِ؟» | ١٦ 16 |
Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You just hate me, and do not love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me." And he said to her, "Look, I haven't told it to my father or my mother, and shall I tell you?"
| فَظَلَّتْ تَبْكِي لَدَيْهِ طَوَالَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامِ الْوَلِيمَةِ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ أَطْلَعَهَا عَلَى الْحَلِّ لِفَرْطِ مَا ضَايَقَتْهُ، فَأَسَرَّتْ بِهِ لِبَنِي قَوْمِهَا. | ١٧ 17 |
She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him hard; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
| وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِ شَمْسِ الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ قَالَ لَهُ رِجَالُ الْمَدِينَةِ: «أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ، وَمَا هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنَ الأَسَدِ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «لَوْلا أَنَّكُمْ حَرَثْتُمْ عَلَى عِجْلَتِي لَمَا وَجَدْتُمْ حَلَّ أُحْجِيِّتِي». | ١٨ 18 |
The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" He said to them, "If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have found out my riddle."
| وَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ فَانْحَدَرَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ أَشْقَلُونَ وَقَتَلَ ثَلاثِينَ رَجُلاً مِنْهُمْ، وَأَخَذَ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَعْطَاهَا لِلرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ حَلُّوا لُغْزَهُ. وَلَكِنْ، إِذِ احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُ مَضَى إِلَى بَيْتِ وَالِدَيْهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
The Spirit of YHWH rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their belongings, and gave their garments to those who explained the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
| وَمَا لَبِثَتِ امْرَأَةُ شَمْشُونَ أَنْ أَصْبَحَتْ زَوْجَةً لِصَاحِبِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ نَدِيماً لَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
