قُضاة 15
| وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ مُدَّةٍ فِي مَوْسِمِ حَصَادِ الْقَمْحِ، أَنَّ شَمْشُونَ أَخَذَ جَدْياً وَذَهَبَ لِيَزُورَ زَوْجَتَهُ، | ١ 1 |
But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
| وَقَالَ لِحَمِيهِ: «أَنَا دَاخِلٌ إِلَى مُخْدَعِ زَوْجَتِي». وَلَكِنَّ أَبَاهَا مَنَعَهُ وَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ كَرِهْتَهَا فَزَوَّجْتُهَا لِنَدِيمِكَ. فَلِمَاذَا لَا تَتَزَوَّجُ أُخْتَهَا الأَصْغَرَ مِنْهَا عِوَضاً عَنْهَا؟ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ أَجْمَلَ مِنْهَا؟» | ٢ 2 |
And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: [is] not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
| فَأَجَابَهُ شَمْشُونُ: «لا لَوْمَ عَلَيَّ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ إِذَا انْتَقَمْتُ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». | ٣ 3 |
And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
| وَانْطَلَقَ شَمْشُونُ وَاصْطَادَ ثَلاثَ مِئَةِ ثَعْلَبٍ وَرَبَطَ ذَيْلَيْ كُلِّ ثَعْلَبَيْنِ مَعاً وَوَضَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا مَشْعَلاً، | ٤ 4 |
And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
| ثُمَّ أَضْرَمَ الْمَشَاعِلَ بِالنَّارِ وَأَطْلَقَ الثَّعَالِبَ بَيْنَ زُرُوعِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَأَحْرَقَتْ حُقُولَ الْقَمْحِ وَأَكْدَاسَ الْحُبُوبِ وَأَشْجَارَ الزَّيْتُونِ. | ٥ 5 |
And when he had set the brands on fire, he let [them] go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards [and] olives.
| فَسَأَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ: «مَنِ الْجَانِي؟» فَقِيلَ لَهُمْ: «شَمْشُونُ صِهْرُ التِّمْنِيِّ، لأَنَّهُ أَخَذَ امْرَأَةَ شَمْشُونَ وَزَوَّجَهَا لِنَدِيمِه»، فَصَعِدَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا مَعَ أَبِيهَا بِالنَّارِ. | ٦ 6 |
Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
| فَقَالَ شَمْشُونُ: «لأَنَّكُمْ هَكَذَا تَتَصَرَّفُونَ فَإِنَّنِي لَنْ أَكُفَّ حَتَّى أَنْتَقِمَ مِنْكُمْ». | ٧ 7 |
And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
| وَهَجَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِضَرَاوَةٍ وَقَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ كَثِيرِينَ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى مَغَارَةِ صَخْرَةِ عِيطَمَ وَأَقَامَ فِيهَا. | ٨ 8 |
And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
| فَتَقَدَّمَ جَيْشُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَاحْتَلُّوا أَرْضَ يَهُوذَا وَانْتَشَرُوا فِي لَحْيٍ | ٩ 9 |
Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
| فَسَأَلَهُمْ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا: «لِمَاذَا جِئْتُمْ لِمُحَارَبَتِنَا؟» فَأَجَابُوهُمْ: «جِئْنَا لِكَيْ نَأْسِرَ شَمْشُونَ وَنَفْعَلَ بِهِ مِثْلَمَا فَعَلَ بِنَا». | ١٠ 10 |
And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
| فَذَهَبَ ثَلاثَةُ آلافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى مَغَارَةِ صَخْرَةِ عِيطَمَ وَقَالُوا لِشَمْشُونَ: «أَلا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مُتَسَلِّطُونَ عَلَيْنَا، فَمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِنَا؟» فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «كَمَا فَعَلُوا بِي هَكَذَا فَعَلْتُ بِهِمْ». | ١١ 11 |
Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines [are] rulers over us? what [is] this [that] thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
| فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لَقَدْ جِئْنَا لِنُوْثِقَكَ وَنُسَلِّمَكَ إِلَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «احْلِفُوا لِي أَنْ لَا تَقْتُلُونِي بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ». | ١٢ 12 |
And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
| فَأَجَابُوهُ: «لا، لَنْ نَقْتُلَكَ نَحْنُ، إِنَّمَا نُوْثِقُكَ وَنُسَلِّمُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ». فَأَوْثَقُوهُ بِحَبْلَيْنِ جَدِيدَيْنِ وَأَخْرَجُوهُ مِنَ الْمَغَارَةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
| فَلَمَّا وَصَلَ إِلَى لَحْيٍ هَبَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ صَارِخِينَ لِلِقَائِهِ، فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ، وَقَطَعَ الْحَبْلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ عَلَى ذِرَاعَيْهِ وَكَأَنَّهُمَا خُيُوطُ كَتَّانٍ مُحْتَرِقَةٌ. | ١٤ 14 |
[And] when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that [were] upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
| وَعَثَرَ عَلَى فَكِّ حِمَارٍ طَرِيٍّ، تَنَاوَلَهُ وَقَتَلَ بِهِ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ شَمْشُونُ: «بِفَكِّ حِمَارٍ كَوَّمْتُ أَكْدَاساً فَوْقَ أَكْدَاسٍ، بِفَكِّ حِمَارٍ قَضَيْتُ عَلَى أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ». | ١٦ 16 |
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
| وَعِنْدَمَا كَفَّ عَنِ الْكَلامِ أَلْقَى فَكَّ الْحِمَارِ مِنْ يَدِهِ، وَدَعَا ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ رَمَتَ لَحْيٍ (وَمَعْنَاهُ تَلُّ عَظْمَةِ الْفَكِّ). | ١٧ 17 |
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-lehi.
| وَعَطِشَ شَمْشُونُ عَطَشاً شَدِيداً، فَاسْتَغَاثَ بِالرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «لَقَدْ مَنَحْتَ هَذَا الْخَلاصَ الْعَظِيمَ عَلَى يَدِ عَبْدِكَ، فَهَلْ أَمُوتُ الآنَ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ وَأَقَعُ أَسِيراً فِي يَدِ الْغُلْفِ؟» | ١٨ 18 |
And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
| فَفَجَّرَ اللهُ لَهُ يَنْبُوعَ مَاءٍ مِنْ فَتْحَةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ فِي لَحْيٍ، فَشَرِبَ مِنْهَا وَانْتَعَشَتْ نَفْسُهُ. لِذَلِكَ دَعَا اسْمَ الْمَوْضِعِ عَيْنَ هَقُّورِي (وَمَعْنَاهُ يَنْبُوعُ الَّذِي دَعَا). وَمَازَالَ الْيَنْبُوعُ فِي لَحْيٍ إِلَى يَوْمِنَا هَذَا. | ١٩ 19 |
But God clave an hollow place that [was] in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof En-hakkore, which [is] in Lehi unto this day.
| وَظَلَّ شَمْشُونُ قَاضِياً لإِسْرَائِيلَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُكْمِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
