| وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ الْبَاكِرِ تَوَجَّهَ يَرُبَّعْلُ (جِدْعُونُ) وَجَيْشُهُ إِلَى عَيْنِ حَرُودَ وَخَيَّمُوا هُنَاكَ. وَكَانَ جَيْشُ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ مُعَسْكِراً إِلَى الشِّمَالِ مِنْهُمْ فِي الْوَادِي عِنْدَ تَلِّ مُورَةَ. | ١ 1 |
Then Ierubbaal (who is Gideon) rose vp early, and all the people that were with him, and pitched beside the well of Harod, so that the hoste of the Midianites was on the Northside of them in the valley by the hill of Moreh.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ كَثِيرُونَ عَلَيَّ لِطَرْدِ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ بِيَدِهِمْ، لِئَلّا يَتَبَاهَى عَلَيَّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّ قُوَّتَنَا أَنْقَذَتْنَا. | ٢ 2 |
And the Lord said vnto Gideon, The people that are with thee, are too many for me to giue the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel make their vaunt against me, and say, Mine hand hath saued mee.
| وَالآنَ نَادِ فِي مَسَامِعِ الْقَوْمِ قَائِلاً: كُلُّ مَنْ هُوَ خَائِفٌ وَمُرْتَعِدٌ فَلْيَرْجِعْ مُنْصَرِفاً مِنْ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ». فَرَجَعَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ اثْنَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفاً وَبَقِيَ عَشَرَةُ آلافٍ. | ٣ 3 |
Now therefore proclaime in the audience of the people, and say, Who so is timerous or fearefull, let him returne, and depart earely from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people which were at mount Gilead, two and twentie thousand: so ten thousand remayned.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «لَمْ يَزَلْ عَدَدُ الْمُحَارِبِينَ كَبِيراً. انْزِلْ بِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَاءِ فَأُغَرْبِلَهُمْ لَكَ. فَيَذْهَبَ مَعَكَ مَنْ أَخْتَارُهُ لَكَ وَتَصْرِفُ عَنْكَ مَنْ أَرْفُضُهُ». | ٤ 4 |
And the Lord said vnto Gideon, The people are yet too many: bring them downe vnto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and of whome I say vnto thee, This man shall goe with thee, the same shall go with thee: and of whomsoeuer I say vnto thee, This man shall not goe with thee, the same shall not go.
| فَنَزَلَ جِدْعُونُ بِالْجَيْشِ إِلَى الْمَاءِ. وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَلْعَقُ بِلِسَانِهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ كَمَا يَلْعَقُ الْكَلْبُ أَوْقِفْهُ وَحْدَهُ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ جَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ لِلشُّرْبِ أَوْقِفْهُ وَحْدَهُ أَيْضاً». | ٥ 5 |
So he brought downe the people vnto the water. And the Lord sayd vnto Gideon, As many as lap the water with their tongues, as a dog lappeth, them put by themselues, and euery one that shall bow downe his knees to drinke, put apart.
| فَكَانَ عَدَدُ الَّذِينَ غَرَفُوا الْمَاءَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَلَعَقُوهُ ثَلاثَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ. وَأَمَّا بَاقِي الْجَيْشِ فَجَثَوْا عَلَى رُكَبِهِمْ لِشُرْبِ الْمَاءِ. | ٦ 6 |
And the nomber of them that lapped by putting their handes to their mouthes, were three hundreth men: but all the remnant of the people kneeled downe vpon their knees to drinke water.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «سَأُخَلِّصُكُمْ وَأُظْفِرُكَ بِالْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ بِالثَّلاثِ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ الَّذِينَ لَعَقُوا الْمَاءَ. وَلْيَنْصَرِفْ سَائِرُ الْقَوْمِ إِلَى أَمَاكِنِ سُكْنَاهُمْ». | ٧ 7 |
Then the Lord sayde vnto Gideon, By these three hundreth men that lapped, will I saue you, and deliuer the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go euery man vnto his place.
| فَصَرَفَ جِدْعُونُ بَقِيَّةَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ إِلَى خِيَامِهِمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَخَذَ مَؤُونَتَهُمْ وَأَبْوَاقَهُمْ، وَاحْتَفَظَ فَقَطْ بِالثَّلاثِ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ. وَكَانَ مُخَيَّمُ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ تَحْتَهُمْ فِي الْوَادِي. | ٨ 8 |
So the people tooke vitailes with them, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel, euery man vnto his tent, and reteined the three hundreth men: and the hoste of Midian was beneath him in a valley.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ لِجِدْعُونَ: «قُمْ وَهَاجِمِ الْمُعَسْكَرَ، لأَنَّنِي مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أُسَلِّمَهُ إِلَى يَدِكَ | ٩ 9 |
And the same night the Lord sayde vnto him, Arise, get thee downe vnto the hoste: for I haue deliuered it into thine hand.
| وَإِنْ كُنْتَ خَائِفاً مِنْ مُهَاجَمَةِ الْمُعَسْكَرِ فَتَسَلَّلْ أَنْتَ وَفُورَةُ غُلَامُكَ إِلَيْهِ، | ١٠ 10 |
But if thou feare to go downe, then go thou, and Phurah thy seruant downe to the hoste,
| وَاسْتَمِعْ إِلَى حَدِيثِهِمْ، فَتَتَشَدَّدَ عَزِيمَتُكَ وَتَهْجُمَ عَلَى الْمُعَسْكَرِ». فَتَسَلَّلَ هُوَ وَفُورَةُ خَادِمُهُ وَكَمَنَ عِنْدَ طَرَفِ الْمُعَسْكَرِ قَرِيباً مِنْ مَقَرِّ آخِرِ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ. | ١١ 11 |
And thou shalt hearken what they say, and so shall thine handes be strong to go downe vnto the hoste. Then went he downe and Phurah his seruant vnto the outside of the souldiers that were in the hoste.
| وَكَانَ الْمِدْيَانِيُّونَ وَالْعَمَالِقَةُ وَسَائِرُ بَنِي الْمَشْرِقِ مُخَيِّمِينَ فِي الْوَادِي، فِي كَثْرَةِ الْجَرَادِ، وَجِمَالُهُمْ لَا تُحْصَى كَالرَّمْلِ الَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And the Midianites, and the Amalekites and all they of the East, lay in the valley like grashoppers in multitude, and their camels were without nomber, as the sande which is by the sea side for multitude.
| وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ جِدْعُونُ إِلَى مَكْمَنِهِ سَمِعَ رَجُلاً يُحَدِّثُ صَاحِبَهُ بِحُلْمٍ رَآهُ قَائِلا: «رَأَيْتُ فِي حُلْمِي وَإذَا رَغِيفُ خُبْزِ شَعِيرٍ يَتَدَحْرَجُ فِي مُعَسْكَرِ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْخَيْمَةَ فَضَرَبَهَا فَسَقَطَتْ، وَقَلَبَهَا رَأْساً عَلَى عَقِبٍ». | ١٣ 13 |
And when Gideon was come, beholde, a man tolde a dreame vnto his neighbour, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dreame, and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled from aboue into the hoste of Midian, and came vnto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and ouerturned it, that the tent fell downe.
| فَأَجَابَ صَاحِبُهُ: «لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ سِوَى سَيْفِ جِدْعُونَ بْنِ يُوآشَ قَائِدِ جَيْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَقَدْ أَظْفَرَهُ اللهُ عَلَى الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ الْجَيْشِ». | ١٤ 14 |
And his fellow answered, and sayde, This is nothing els saue the sworde of Gideon the sonne of Ioash a man of Israel: for into his hande hath God deliuered Midian and all the hoste.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ جِدْعُونُ حَدِيثَ الْحُلْمِ وَتَفْسِيرَهُ سَجَدَ، وَرَجَعَ إِلَى مُخَيَّمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «هُبُّوا، فَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى جَيْشِ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ». | ١٥ 15 |
When Gideon heard the dreame tolde, and the interpretation of the same, he worshipped, and returned vnto the hoste of Israel, and said, Vp: for the Lord hath deliuered into your hande the hoste of Midian.
| وَقَسَمَ الثَّلاثَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ إِلَى ثَلاثِ فِرَقٍ، وَوَزَّعَ عَلَى كُلٍّ مِنْهُمْ بُوقاً وَجَرَّةً فَارِغَةً فِي وَسَطِهَا مِصْبَاحٌ. | ١٦ 16 |
And hee deuided the three hundreth men into three bandes, and gaue euery man a trumpet in his hande with emptie pitchers, and lampes within the pitchers.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «انْظُرُوا إِلَيَّ وَافْعَلُوا مِثْلِي. عِنْدَمَا أَبْلُغُ طَرَفَ الْمُعَسْكَرِ، افْعَلُوا تَمَاماً كَمَا أَفْعَلُ. | ١٧ 17 |
And he sayd vnto them, Looke on me, and do likewise, when I come to the side of the hoste: euen as I do, so do you.
| وَمَتَى نَفَخْتُ أَنَا وَكُلُّ الَّذِينَ مَعِي بِالْبُوقِ، انْفُخُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً بِالأَبْوَاقِ حَوْلَ كُلِّ الْمُعَسْكَرِ وَقُولُوا:’لِلرَّبِّ وَلِجِدْعُونَ‘.» | ١٨ 18 |
When I blowe with a trumpet and all that are with me, blowe ye with trumpets also on euery side of the hoste, and say, For the Lord, and for Gideon.
| فَأَقْبَلَ جِدْعُونُ وَفِرْقَتُهُ إِلَى طَرَفِ الْمُعَسْكَرِ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ، بَعْدَ تَغْيِيرِ نَوْبَةِ الْحِرَاسَةِ، فَنَفَخُوا بِالأَبْوَاقِ وَحَطَّمُوا الْجِرَارَ الَّتِي بِأَيْدِيهِمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
So Gideon and the hundreth men that were with him, came vnto the outside of the hoste, in the beginning of the middle watche, and they raised vp the watchmen, and they blew with their trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their handes.
| وَهَكَذَا نَفَخَتِ الْفِرَقُ الثَّلاثُ بِالأَبْوَاقِ وَحَطَّمُوا الْجِرَارَ وَأَمْسَكُوا الْمَصَابِيحَ بِأَيْدِيهِمِ الْيُسْرَى وَالأَبْوَاقَ بِأَيْدِيهِمِ الْيُمْنَى لِيَنْفُخُوا بِها صَارِخِينَ: «سَيْفٌ لِلرَّبِّ وَلِجِدْعُونَ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And the three companies blew with trumpets and brake the pitchers, and helde the lampes in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right. handes to blowe withall: and they cryed, The sword of the Lord and of Gideon.
| وَوَقَفَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ فِي مَكَانِهِ حَوْلَ الْمُعَسْكَرِ، فَدَبَّ الذُّعْرُ فِي الْجَيْشِ وَتَرَاكَضُوا هَارِبِينَ صَارِخِينَ. | ٢١ 21 |
And they stoode, euery man in his place round about the hoste: and all the hoste ranne, and cryed, and fled.
| وَعَادَتِ الْفِرَقُ الثَّلاثُ تَنْفُخُ فِي أَبْوَاقِهَا، فَجَعَلَ الرَّبُّ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ يُقَاتِلُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً، وَأَغْمَدَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سَيْفَهُ فِي صَاحِبِهِ وَفَرُّوا إِلَى بَيْتِ شِطَّةَ بِاتِّجَاهِ صَرَدَةَ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا آبَلَ مَحُولَةَ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْ طَبَّاةَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And the three hundreth blewe with trumpets, and the Lord set euery mans sworde vpon his neighbour, and vpon all the hoste: so the hoste fled to Beth-hashittah in Zererah, and to the border of Abel-meholah, vnto Tabbath.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى جِدْعُونُ رِجَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ نَفْتَالِي وَمِنْ أَشِيرَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ مَنَسَّى وَتَعَقَّبُوا الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then the men of Israel being gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, pursued after the Midianites.
| وَبَعَثَ جِدْعُونُ بِرُسُلٍ إِلَى كُلِّ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ قَائِلاً: «انْزِلُوا لِلِقَاءِ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَاسْتَوْلُوا عَلَى مَوَاقِعِ عُبُورِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ بَارَةَ». فَاحْتَشَدَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى مِيَاهِ الأُرْدُنِّ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ بَارَةَ، | ٢٤ 24 |
And Gideon sent messengers vnto all mount Ephraim, saying, Come downe against the Midianites, and take before them the waters vnto Beth-barah, and Iorden. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and tooke the waters vnto Beth-barah, and Iorden.
| وَأَسَرُوا قَائِدَيِ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ غُرَاباً وَذِئْباً، فَقَتَلُوا غُرَاباً عَلَى صَخْرَةِ غُرَابٍ، وَأَمَّا ذِئْبٌ فَقَتَلُوهُ عِنْدَ مِعْصَرَةِ ذِئْبٍ. وَتَعَقَّبُوا الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ ثُمَّ حَمَلُوا رَأْسَي غُرَابٍ وَذِئْبٍ إِلَى جِدْعُونَ عَبْرَ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And they tooke two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb, and slew Oreb vpon the rocke Oreb, and slewe Zeeb at the winepresse of Zeeb, and pursued the Midianites, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyonde Iorden.
