Judges 7
1 Then Jerubbaal, who [is] Gideon, and all the people that [were] with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
| 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 |
2 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that [are] with thee [are] too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ كَثِيرُونَ عَلَيَّ لِطَرْدِ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ بِيَدِهِمْ، لِئَلّا يَتَبَاهَى عَلَيَّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّ قُوَّتَنَا أَنْقَذَتْنَا. | ٢ |
3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever [is] fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
| 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 |
4 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people [are] yet [too] many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «لَمْ يَزَلْ عَدَدُ الْمُحَارِبِينَ كَبِيراً. انْزِلْ بِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَاءِ فَأُغَرْبِلَهُمْ لَكَ. فَيَذْهَبَ مَعَكَ مَنْ أَخْتَارُهُ لَكَ وَتَصْرِفُ عَنْكَ مَنْ أَرْفُضُهُ». | ٤ |
5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
| 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 |
6 And the number of them that lapped, [putting] their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
| فَكَانَ عَدَدُ الَّذِينَ غَرَفُوا الْمَاءَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَلَعَقُوهُ ثَلاثَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ. وَأَمَّا بَاقِي الْجَيْشِ فَجَثَوْا عَلَى رُكَبِهِمْ لِشُرْبِ الْمَاءِ. | ٦ |
7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the [other] people go every man unto his place.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «سَأُخَلِّصُكُمْ وَأُظْفِرُكَ بِالْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ بِالثَّلاثِ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ الَّذِينَ لَعَقُوا الْمَاءَ. وَلْيَنْصَرِفْ سَائِرُ الْقَوْمِ إِلَى أَمَاكِنِ سُكْنَاهُمْ». | ٧ |
8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all [the rest of] Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
| فَصَرَفَ جِدْعُونُ بَقِيَّةَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ إِلَى خِيَامِهِمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَخَذَ مَؤُونَتَهُمْ وَأَبْوَاقَهُمْ، وَاحْتَفَظَ فَقَطْ بِالثَّلاثِ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ. وَكَانَ مُخَيَّمُ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ تَحْتَهُمْ فِي الْوَادِي. | ٨ |
9 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ لِجِدْعُونَ: «قُمْ وَهَاجِمِ الْمُعَسْكَرَ، لأَنَّنِي مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أُسَلِّمَهُ إِلَى يَدِكَ | ٩ |
10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:
| وَإِنْ كُنْتَ خَائِفاً مِنْ مُهَاجَمَةِ الْمُعَسْكَرِ فَتَسَلَّلْ أَنْتَ وَفُورَةُ غُلَامُكَ إِلَيْهِ، | ١٠ |
11 And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that [were] in the host.
| وَاسْتَمِعْ إِلَى حَدِيثِهِمْ، فَتَتَشَدَّدَ عَزِيمَتُكَ وَتَهْجُمَ عَلَى الْمُعَسْكَرِ». فَتَسَلَّلَ هُوَ وَفُورَةُ خَادِمُهُ وَكَمَنَ عِنْدَ طَرَفِ الْمُعَسْكَرِ قَرِيباً مِنْ مَقَرِّ آخِرِ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ. | ١١ |
12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels [were] without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
| وَكَانَ الْمِدْيَانِيُّونَ وَالْعَمَالِقَةُ وَسَائِرُ بَنِي الْمَشْرِقِ مُخَيِّمِينَ فِي الْوَادِي، فِي كَثْرَةِ الْجَرَادِ، وَجِمَالُهُمْ لَا تُحْصَى كَالرَّمْلِ الَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ. | ١٢ |
13 And when Gideon was come, behold, [there was] a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.
| 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 |
14 And his fellow answered and said, This [is] nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: [for] into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.
| فَأَجَابَ صَاحِبُهُ: «لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ سِوَى سَيْفِ جِدْعُونَ بْنِ يُوآشَ قَائِدِ جَيْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَقَدْ أَظْفَرَهُ اللهُ عَلَى الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ الْجَيْشِ». | ١٤ |
15 And it was [so], when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ جِدْعُونُ حَدِيثَ الْحُلْمِ وَتَفْسِيرَهُ سَجَدَ، وَرَجَعَ إِلَى مُخَيَّمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «هُبُّوا، فَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى جَيْشِ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ». | ١٥ |
16 And he divided the three hundred men [into] three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
| وَقَسَمَ الثَّلاثَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ إِلَى ثَلاثِ فِرَقٍ، وَوَزَّعَ عَلَى كُلٍّ مِنْهُمْ بُوقاً وَجَرَّةً فَارِغَةً فِي وَسَطِهَا مِصْبَاحٌ. | ١٦ |
17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be [that], as I do, so shall ye do.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «انْظُرُوا إِلَيَّ وَافْعَلُوا مِثْلِي. عِنْدَمَا أَبْلُغُ طَرَفَ الْمُعَسْكَرِ، افْعَلُوا تَمَاماً كَمَا أَفْعَلُ. | ١٧ |
18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that [are] with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, [The sword] of the LORD, and of Gideon.
| وَمَتَى نَفَخْتُ أَنَا وَكُلُّ الَّذِينَ مَعِي بِالْبُوقِ، انْفُخُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً بِالأَبْوَاقِ حَوْلَ كُلِّ الْمُعَسْكَرِ وَقُولُوا:’لِلرَّبِّ وَلِجِدْعُونَ‘.» | ١٨ |
19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that [were] with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that [were] in their hands.
| فَأَقْبَلَ جِدْعُونُ وَفِرْقَتُهُ إِلَى طَرَفِ الْمُعَسْكَرِ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ، بَعْدَ تَغْيِيرِ نَوْبَةِ الْحِرَاسَةِ، فَنَفَخُوا بِالأَبْوَاقِ وَحَطَّمُوا الْجِرَارَ الَّتِي بِأَيْدِيهِمْ. | ١٩ |
20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow [withal: ] and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
| وَهَكَذَا نَفَخَتِ الْفِرَقُ الثَّلاثُ بِالأَبْوَاقِ وَحَطَّمُوا الْجِرَارَ وَأَمْسَكُوا الْمَصَابِيحَ بِأَيْدِيهِمِ الْيُسْرَى وَالأَبْوَاقَ بِأَيْدِيهِمِ الْيُمْنَى لِيَنْفُخُوا بِها صَارِخِينَ: «سَيْفٌ لِلرَّبِّ وَلِجِدْعُونَ». | ٢٠ |
21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
| وَوَقَفَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ فِي مَكَانِهِ حَوْلَ الْمُعَسْكَرِ، فَدَبَّ الذُّعْرُ فِي الْجَيْشِ وَتَرَاكَضُوا هَارِبِينَ صَارِخِينَ. | ٢١ |
22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, [and] to the border of Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath.
| 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 |
23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى جِدْعُونُ رِجَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ نَفْتَالِي وَمِنْ أَشِيرَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ مَنَسَّى وَتَعَقَّبُوا الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٣ |
24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan.
| 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 |
25 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.
| 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 |
