قُضاة 4
| وَبَعْدَ مَوْتِ إِهُودَ عَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرْتَكِبُونَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، | ١ 1 |
After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD.
| فَأَخْضَعَهُمُ الرَّبُّ لِيَابِينَ مَلِكِ كَنْعَانَ الْمُقِيمِ فِي حَاصُورَ. وَكَانَ سِيسَرَا رَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ قَاطِناً فِي حَرُوشَةِ الأُمَمِ. | ٢ 2 |
So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his forces was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.
| فَاسْتَغَاثَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالرَّبِّ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ تَحْتَ إِمْرَةِ سِيسَرَا تِسْعُ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ حَدِيدِيَّةٍ، وَقَدِ اشْتَدَّ فِي مُضَايَقَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. | ٣ 3 |
Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, because Jabin had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he had harshly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years.
| وَكَانَتْ دَبُورَةُ زَوْجَةُ لَفِيدُوتَ امْرَأَةً نَبِيَّةً وَقَاضِيَةً لإِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ، | ٤ 4 |
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.
| وَكَانَتْ تَعْقِدُ مَجْلِسَ قَضَائِهَا تَحْتَ نَخْلَةِ دَبُورَةَ بَيْنَ الرَّامَةِ وَبَيْتِ إِيلَ. فَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَفِدُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِلْقَضَاءِ. | ٥ 5 |
And she would sit under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, where the Israelites would go up to her for judgment.
| فَأَرْسَلَتْ هَذِهِ وَاسْتَدْعَتْ بَارَاقَ بنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ مِنْ قَادَشِ نَفْتَالِي، وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «هَذَا هُوَ أَمْرُ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَيْكَ: اذْهَبْ وَازْحَفْ إِلَى جَبَلِ تَابُورَ بَعْدَ أَنْ تُجَنِّدَ لَكَ عَشْرَةَ آلافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ نَفْتَالِي وَزَبُولُونَ، | ٦ 6 |
She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “Surely the LORD, the God of Israel, is commanding you: ‘Go and march to Mount Tabor, taking with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun.
| فَأَجْتَذِبَ سِيسَرَا رَئِيسَ جَيْشِ يَابِينَ بِمَرْكَبَاتِهِ إِلَى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ وَأُظْفِرَكَ بِهِ». | ٧ 7 |
And I will draw out Sisera the commander of Jabin’s army, his chariots, and his troops to the River Kishon, and I will deliver him into your hand.’”
| فَقَالَ لَهَا بَارَاقُ: «إِنْ ذَهَبْتِ مَعِي أَذْهَبْ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَذْهَبِي لا أَذْهَبْ». | ٨ 8 |
Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.”
| فَأَجَابَتْ: «أَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ فَخْرٌ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي أَنْتَ مَاضٍ فِيهَا، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُسَلِّمُ سِيِسَرَا لاِمْرَأَةٍ». فَنَهَضَتْ دَبُورَةُ وَرَافَقَتْ بَارَاقَ إِلَى قَادَشَ. | ٩ 9 |
“I will certainly go with you,” Deborah replied, “but the road you are taking will bring you no honor, because the LORD will be selling Sisera into the hand of a woman.” So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh,
| وَاسْتَدْعَى بَارَاقُ رِجَالَ زَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِي إِلَى قَادَشَ، فَانْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ عَشْرَةُ آلافِ رَجُلٍ. وَانْطَلَقَتْ دَبُورَةُ مَعَهُ أَيْضاً. | ١٠ 10 |
where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ كَانَ حَابِرُ الْقَيْنِيُّ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ حُوبَابَ حَمِي مُوسَى، قَدِ انْفَرَدَ عَنْ بَقِيَّةِ عَشِيرَةِ الْقَيْنِيِّينَ وَضَرَبَ خِيَامَهُ إِلَى جُوَارِ شَجَرَةِ بَلُّوطٍ فِي صَعَنَايِمَ الْقَرِيبَةِ مِنْ قَادَشَ. | ١١ 11 |
Now Heber the Kenite had moved away from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent by the great tree of Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.
| وَأَبْلَغُوا سِيسَرَا أَنَّ بَارَاقَ بْنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ قَدْ صَعِدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ تَابُورَ. | ١٢ 12 |
When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor,
| فَحَشَدَ سِيسَرَا مَرْكَبَاتِهِ الْحَدِيدِيَّةَ التِّسْعَ مِئَةٍ، وَجَمِيعَ جَيْشِهِ الَّذِي مَعَهُ مِنْ حَرُوشَةِ الأُمَمِ حَتَّى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ. | ١٣ 13 |
he summoned all nine hundred of his iron chariots and all the men with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the River Kishon.
| فَقَالَتْ دَبُورَةُ لِبَارَاقَ: «قُمْ، لأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي فِيهِ يُظْفِرُكَ الرَّبُّ بِسِيسَرَا. أَلَمْ يَتَقَدَّمْكَ الرَّبُّ؟» فَانْحَدَرَ بَارَاقُ مِنْ جَبَلِ تَابُورَ عَلَى رَأْسِ عَشْرَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then Deborah said to Barak, “Arise, for this is the day that the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone before you?” So Barak came down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
| فَأَرْعَبَ الرَّبُّ سِيسَرَا وَكُلَّ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَسَائِرَ جَيْشِهِ وَقَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ أَمَامَ بَارَاقَ. فَتَرَجَّلَ سِيسَرَا مِنْ مَرْكَبَتِهِ وَهَرَبَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And in front of him the LORD routed with the sword Sisera, all his charioteers, and all his army. Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled on foot.
| فَتَعَقَّبَ بَارَاقُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَالْجَيْشَ إِلَى حَروُشَةِ الأُمَمِ، وَتَمَّ الْقَضَاءُ عَلَى كُلِّ جَيْشِ سِيسَرَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فَلَمْ يَسْلَمْ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ. | ١٦ 16 |
Then Barak pursued the chariots and army as far as Harosheth-hagoyim, and the whole army of Sisera fell by the sword; not a single man was left.
| وَأَمَّا سِيسَرَا فَهَرَبَ مَاشِياً إِلَى خَيْمَةِ يَاعِيلَ امْرَأَةِ حَابِرَ الْقَيْنِيِّ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ عَقَدَ اتِّفَاقَ صُلْحٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَابِينَ مَلِكِ حَاصُورَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Meanwhile, Sisera had fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
| فَخَرَجَتْ يَاعِيلُ لاِسْتِقْبَالِ سِيسَرَا قَائِلَةً: «تَعَالَ إِلَى خَيْمَتِي يَا سَيِّدِي وَلا تَخَفْ». فَمَالَ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهَا وَغَطَّتْهُ بِلِحَافٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
Jael went out to greet Sisera and said to him, “Come in, my lord. Come in with me. Do not be afraid.” So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا: «اسْقِينِي قَلِيلاً مِنَ الْمَاءِ لأَنِّي قَدْ عَطِشْتُ». فَفَتَحَتْ زِقَّ اللَّبَنِ وَأَسْقَتْهُ ثُمَّ غَطَّتْهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
Sisera said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a container of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him again.
| وَقَالَ لَهَا: «قِفِي بِبَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، حَتَّى إِذَا أَقْبَلَ أَحَدُهُمْ وَسَأَلَكِ: أَهُنَا أَحَدٌ؟ تَقُولِينَ: لا». | ٢٠ 20 |
“Stand at the entrance to the tent,” he said, “and if anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say, ‘No.’”
| وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ غَطَّ فِي نَوْمٍ ثَقِيلٍ لِشِدَّةِ تَعَبِهِ. فَأَخَذَتْ يَاعِيلُ امْرَأَةُ حَابِرَ وَتَدَ الْخَيْمَةِ وَمِطْرَقَةً، وَتَسَلَّلَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَدَقَّتِ الْوَتَدَ فِي صُدْغِهِ فَنَفَذَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَمَاتَ. | ٢١ 21 |
But as he lay sleeping from exhaustion, Heber’s wife Jael took a tent peg, grabbed a hammer, and went silently to Sisera. She drove the peg through his temple and into the ground, and he died.
| وَإذَا بِبَارَاقَ يُطَارِدُ سِيسَرَا، فَخَرَجَتْ يَاعِيلُ لاِسْتِقْبَالِهِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «تَعَالَ لأُرِيَكَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي تَبْحَثُ عَنْهُ». فَدَخَلَ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهَا، وَإذَا بِسِيسَرَا طَرِيحٌ مَيْتاً وَالْوَتَدُ نَافِذٌ فِي صُدْغِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
When Barak arrived in pursuit of Sisera, Jael went out to greet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man you are seeking.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera dead, with a tent peg through his temple.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَخْضَعَ الرَّبُّ يَابِينَ مَلِكَ كَنْعَانَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٢٣ 23 |
On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.
| وَاشْتَدَّتْ وَطْأَةُ سَطْوَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِ وَازْدَادَتْ قُوَّةً حَتَّى تَمَّتْ إِبَادَتُهُ كُلِّيًّا. | ٢٤ 24 |
And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him.
