وَهَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الأُمَمُ الَّذِينَ تَرَكَهُمُ الرَّبُّ لِيَخْتَبِرَ بِهِمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَخُوضُوا أَيَّ حَرْبٍ مِنْ حُرُوبِ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. | ١ 1 |
Now these [are] the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, [even] as many [of Israel] as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
وَقَدْ فَعَلَ هَذَا فَقَطْ لِيُدَرِّبَ ذُرِّيَّةَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ عَلَى الْحَرْبِ، مِمَّنْ لَمْ يُمَارِسُوهَا مِنْ قَبْلُ. | ٢ 2 |
Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
وَهَؤُلاءِ الأُمَمُ هُمْ: أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الْخَمْسَةُ، وَجَمِيعُ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالصِّيدُونِيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ سُكَّانِ جَبَلِ لُبْنَانَ، مِنْ جَبَلِ بَعْلِ حَرْمُونَ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ. | ٣ 3 |
[Namely], five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
وَقَدْ أَبْقَاهُمُ الرَّبُّ لِيَمْتَحِنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِهِمْ لِيَرَى إِنْ كَانُوا يُطِيعُونَ أَوَامِرَهُ الَّتِي أَوْصَى بِها آبَاءَهُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى. | ٤ 4 |
And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
وَأَقَامَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْنَ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ. | ٥ 5 |
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
وَتَزَوَّجُوا مِنْ بَنَاتِهِمْ، وَزَوَّجُوا بَنَاتِهِمْ لأَبْنَائِهِمْ وَعَبَدُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
فَارْتَكَبَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ وَنَسُوا إِلَهَهُمْ وَعَبَدُوا الْبَعْلِيمَ وَالْعَشْتَارُوثَ. | ٧ 7 |
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ كُوشَانَ رِشَعْتَايِمَ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ النَّهْرَيْنِ، فَاسْتَعْبَدَ كُوشَانُ رِشَعْتَايِمُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَمَانِيَ سَنَوَاتٍ. | ٨ 8 |
Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
وَاسْتَغَاثَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالرَّبِّ، فَأَقَامَ لَهُمْ مُخَلِّصاً أَنْقَذَهُمْ هُوَ عُثْنِيئِيلُ بْنُ قَنَازَ أَخُو كَالَبَ الأَصْغَرُ. | ٩ 9 |
And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, [even] Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ وَصَارَ قَاضِياً لإِسْرَائِيلَ. وَحِينَ خَرَجَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ كُوشَانَ رِشَعْتَايِمَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ، تَغَلَّبَ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَظْفَرَهُ الرَّبُّ بِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
وَعَمَّ السَّلامُ الْبِلادَ حِقْبَةَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، إِلَى أَنْ مَاتَ عُثْنِيئِيْلُ بْنُ قَنَازَ. | ١١ 11 |
And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
فَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقْتَرِفُونَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ فَسَلَّطَ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ عِجْلُونَ مَلِكَ مُوآبَ عِقَاباً لَهُمْ عَلَى شَرِّهِمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
فَحَشَدَ ضِدَّهُمْ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَعَمَالِيقَ، وَهَاجَمَهُمْ، وَاحْتَلَّ أَرِيحَا مَدِينَةَ النَّخْلِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
وَاسْتَعْبَدَ عِجْلُونُ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
فَاسْتَغَاثَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالرَّبِّ، فَأَرْسَلَ لَهُمْ مُنْقِذاً إِهُودَ بْنَ جِيرَا الْبَنْيَامِينِيَّ وَكَانَ أَعْسَرَ، فَبَعَثَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مَعَهُ الْجِزْيَةَ لِعِجْلُونَ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ. | ١٥ 15 |
But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
فَصَنَعَ إِهُودُ لِنَفْسِهِ سَيْفاً ذَا حَدَّيْنِ طُولُهُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ)، تَقَلَّدَهُ تَحْتَ ثِيَابِهِ فَوْقَ فَخْذِهِ الْيُمْنَى، | ١٦ 16 |
But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
وَقَدَّمَ الْجِزْيَةَ لِعِجْلُونَ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ. وَكَانَ عِجْلُونُ بَدِيناً جِدّاً. | ١٧ 17 |
And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon [was] a very fat man.
وَبَعْدَ تَقْدِيمِ الْجِزْيَةِ صَرَفَ إِهُودُ حَامِلِيهَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ، | ١٨ 18 |
And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
وَرَجَعَ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْمَحَاجِرِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لِلْجِلْجَالِ، وَقَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ: | ١٩ 19 |
But he himself turned again from the quarries that [were] by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
«لَدَيَّ كَلامُ سِرٍّ لأُبَلِّغَكَ إِيَّاهُ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ». فَصَرَفَ الْمَلِكُ كُلَّ الْمَوْجُودِينَ بِمَجْلِسِهِ لِيَنْفَرِدَ بِإِهُودَ | ٢٠ 20 |
And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of [his] seat.
فَاقْتَرَبَ آنَئِذٍ مِنْهُ إِهُودُ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي عُلِّيَّتِهِ الْخَاصَّةِ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَدَيَّ لَكَ رِسَالَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ». فَنَهَضَ الْمَلِكُ عَنْ سَرِيرِهِ. فَمَدَّ عِنْدَئِذٍ إِهُودُ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى وَاسْتَلَّ سَيْفَهُ عَنْ فَخْذِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَأَغْمَدَهُ فِي بَطْنِهِ | ٢١ 21 |
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
حَتَّى غَاصَ الْقَائِمُ وَرَاءَ النَّصْلِ فَأَطْبَقَ الشَّحْمُ عَلَى النَّصْلِ الَّذِي اخْتَرَقَ ظَهْرَ الْمَلِكِ لأَنَّ إِهُودَ لَمْ يَجْذُبِ السَّيْفَ مِنْ بَطْنِ الْمَلِكِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
وَغَادَرَ إِهُودُ الرِّوَاقَ وَأَغْلَقَ خَلْفَهُ أَبْوَابَ الْعُلِّيَّةِ وَأَقْفَلَهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ أَقْبَلَ خُدَّامُ الْمَلِكِ فَوَجَدُوا أَبْوَابَ الْعُلِّيَّةِ مُغْلَقَةً فَقَالُوا: «لَعَلَّهُ يَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ فِي الْعُلِّيَّةِ الصَّيْفِيَّةِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour [were] locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
فَلَبِثُوا مُنْتَظِرِينَ حَتَّى اعْتَرَاهُمُ الْقَلَقُ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَفْتَحْ أَبْوَابَ الْمُخْدَعِ فَأَخَذُوا مِفْتَاحاً وَفَتَحُوا الْبَابَ. وَإذَا سَيِّدُهُمْ سَاقِطٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مَيْتاً. | ٢٥ 25 |
And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened [them: ] and, behold, their lord [was] fallen down dead on the earth.
وَفِيمَا هُمْ مَبْهُوتُونَ فَرَّ إِهُودُ وَاجْتَازَ الْمَحَاجِرَ وَنَجَا إِلَى سَعِيرَةَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
وَمَا إِنْ وَصَلَ إِلَى جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ حَتَّى نَفَخَ بِالْبُوقِ، فَاجْتَمَعَ خَلْفَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ، فَسَارَ فِي طَلِيعَتِهِمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اتْبَعُونِي لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَ أَعْدَاءَكُمُ الْمُوآبِيِّينَ إِلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ» فَاحْتَشَدُوا وَرَاءَهُ وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى مَخَاوِضِ الأُرْدُنِّ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى مُوآبَ وَمَنَعُوا الأَعْدَاءَ مِنَ الْعُبُورِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
وَهَاجَمُوا الْمُوآبِيِّينَ وَقَتَلُوا مِنْهُمْ نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ آلافٍ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ خَضَعَ الْمُوآبِيُّونَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَعَمَّ السَّلامُ الْبِلادَ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً. | ٣٠ 30 |
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
وَتَوَلَّى شَمْجَرُ بْنُ عَنَاةَ قَضَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدَ إِهُودَ، فَقَتَلَ سِتَّ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ بِمِهْمَازِ بَقَرٍ، وَأَنْقَذَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣١ 31 |
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
