Judges 1

1 It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of Jehovah, saying, "Who should go up first to fight for us against the Canaanites?"

١ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ يَشُوعَ سَأَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الرَّبَّ: «مَنْ مِنَّا يَذْهَبُ أَوَّلاً لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ؟»

2 Jehovah said, "Judah should go up. Look, I have delivered the land into his hand."

٢ فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ: «يَهُوذَا يَذْهَبُ، فَقَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ الْأَرْضَ إِلَى يَدِهِ».

3 Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot." So Simeon went with him.

٣ فَقَالَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا لإِخْوَتِهِمْ رِجَالِ شِمْعُونَ: «اخْرُجُوا مَعَنَا إِلَى الْمِنْطَقَةِ الَّتِي صَارَتْ قُرْعَةً لَنَا لِنُحَارِبَ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ مَعاً، ثُمَّ نَخْرُجُ نَحْنُ مَعَكُمْ فِي حَرْبِكُمْ لِتَسْتَوْلُوا عَلَى قُرْعَتِكُمْ». فَذَهَبَ رِجَالُ شِمْعُونَ مَعَهُمْ.

4 Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

٤ فَانْطَلَقَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ، فَأَظْفَرَهُمُ الرَّبُّ بِالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْفِرِزِّيِّينَ، فَقَتَلُوا مِنْهُمْ فِي بَازَقَ عَشْرَةَ آلافِ رَجُلٍ.

5 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

٥ وَالْتَقَوْا بِمَلِكِهِمْ أَدُونِي بَازَقَ عِنْدَ بَازَقَ، فَحَارَبُوهُ وَقَهَرُوا الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْفِرِزِّيِّينَ.

6 But Adoni-Bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

٦ فَهَرَبَ أَدُونِي بَازَقَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ تَعَقَّبُوهُ وَقَبَضُوا عَلَيْهِ وَقَطَعُوا أَبَاهِمَ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ.

7 Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, scavenged under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

٧ فَقَالَ أَدُونِي بَازَقَ: «لَقَدْ قَطَعْتُ أَبَاهِمَ أَيْدِي وَأَرْجُلِ سَبْعِينَ مَلِكاً كَانُوا يَلْتَقِطُونَ الْفُتَاتَ تَحْتَ مَائِدَتِي، فَهَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ جَازَانِي بِمِثْلِ مَا فَعَلْتُ». وَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ حَيْثُ مَاتَ.

8 The people of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

٨ وَكَانَ أَبْنَاءُ يَهُوذَا قَدْ هَاجَمُوا أُورُشَلِيمَ وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا، وَقَتَلُوا أَهْلَهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا بِالنَّارِ.

9 Afterward the people of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the Negev, and in the lowland.

٩ ثُمَّ انْحَدَرُوا لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ فِي الْمَنَاطِقِ الْجَبَلِيَّةِ وَالنَّقَبِ وَالسُّهُولِ الْغَرْبِيَّةِ.

10 And Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron, and Hebron came out in opposition (now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba), and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

١٠ فَهَاجَمُوا الْكَنَعَانِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي حَبْرُونَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُدْعَى قَبْلاً قَرْيَةَ أَرْبَعَ، وَقَضَوْا عَلَى شِيشَايَ وَأَخِيمَانَ وَتَلْمَايَ.

11 From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.)

١١ وَتَوَجَّهُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَانْقَضُّوا عَلَى أَهْلِ دَبِيرَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُدْعَى قَبْلاً قَرْيَةَ سَفَرٍ.

12 Caleb said, "He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife."

١٢ فَقَالَ كَالَبُ: «الَّذِي يَقْهَرُ قَرْيَةَ سَفَرٍ وَيَسْتَوْلِي عَلَيْهَا، أُزَوِّجُهُ ابْنَتِي عَكْسَةَ».

13 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

١٣ فَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا عُثْنِيئِيلُ بْنُ قَنَازَ، أَخُو كَالَبَ الأَصْغَرُ مِنْهُ، فَزَوَّجَهُ ابْنَتَهُ عَكْسَةَ.

14 It happened, when she came to him, that she got him to ask her father for a field. And she got off from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What would you like?"

١٤ وَعِنْدَمَا زُفَّتْ إِلَيْهِ حَثَّهَا عَلَى طَلَبِ حَقْلٍ مِنْ أَبِيهَا، فَتَرَجَّلَتْ عَنِ الْحِمَارِ، فَسَأَلَهَا كَالَبُ: «مَالَكِ؟»

15 She said to him, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land in the Negev, give me also springs of water." So Caleb gave her according to her heart the upper springs and the lower springs.

١٥ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «أَنْعِمْ عَلَيَّ بِهِبَةٍ، فَأَنْتَ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتَنِي أَرْضاً فِي النَّقَبِ، فَأَعْطِنِي أَيْضاً يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ». فَوَهَبَهَا كَالَبُ الْيَنَابِيعَ الْعُلْيَا وَالْيَنَابِيعَ السُّفْلَى.

16 And the descendants of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the people of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the Negev of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.

١٦ وَغَادَرَ أَبْنَاءُ الْقَيْنِيِّ حَمِي مُوسَى مَدِينَةَ النَّخْلِ (أَرِيحَا) وَذَهَبُوا مَعَ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ يَهُوذَا الْوَاقِعَةِ فِي جَنُوبِيِّ عَرَادَ، وَسَكَنُوا مَعَ الشَّعْبِ.

17 Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.

١٧ وَانْضَمَّ جَيْشُ يَهُوذَا إِلَى جَيْشِ شِمْعُونَ، وَحَارَبُوا الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ أَهْلَ صَفَاةَ وَدَمَّرُوهَا وَدَعَوْا اسْمَ الْمَدِينَةِ حُرْمَةَ (بِمَعْنَى خَرَابٍ).

18 Also Judah took Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory, and Ashdod with its surrounding lands.

١٨ وَاسْتَوْلَى رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا عَلَى غَزَّةَ وَتُخُومِهَا وَأَشْقَلُونَ وَتُخْومِهَا وَعَقْرُونَ وَتُخُومِهَا.

19 Jehovah was with Judah; and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

١٩ وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ أَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا فَتَمَلَّكُوا الْجَبَلَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَخْفَقُوا فِي طَرْدِ سُكَّانِ الْوَادِي لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَمْلِكُونَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ حَدِيدِيَّةً.

20 They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken. And from there he possessed the three cities, and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.

٢٠ وَأَعْطَوْا حَبْرُونَ لِكَالَبَ كَمَا أَوْصَى مُوسَى، فَطَرَدَ مِنْهَا بَنِي عَنَاقَ الثَّلاثَةَ.

21 The people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

٢١ وَأَخْفَقَ أَبْنَاءُ بِنْيَامِينَ فِي طَرْدِ الْيَبُوسِيِّينَ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَظَلَّ الْيَبُوسِيُّونَ يُقِيمُونَ بَيْنَ ذُرِّيَّةِ بِنْيَامِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

22 And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel; and Jehovah was with them.

٢٢ وَهَاجَمَ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ بَيْتَ إِيلَ، فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَهُمْ (وَنَصَرَهُمْ).

23 And the house of Joseph sent out spies to Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)

٢٣ وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ فَرِيقُ الاسْتِكْشَافِ يُرَاقِبُ بَيْتَ إِيلَ، الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُدْعَى قَبْلاً لُوزَ،

24 And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they captured him, and they said to him, "Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will show you mercy."

٢٤ شَاهَدُوا رَجُلاً خَارِجاً مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَرْشِدْنَا إِلَى مَدْخَلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَنَصْنَعَ مَعَكَ مَعْرُوفاً».

25 He showed them the entrance into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.

٢٥ فَأَرْشَدَهُمْ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَاقْتَحَمُوهَا وَقَضَوْا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ وَسَائِرُ عَشِيرَتِهِ فَأَطْلَقُوهُمْ.

26 The man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.

٢٦ فَمَضَى الرَّجُلُ إِلَى دِيَارِ الْحِثِّيِّينَ وَبَنَى مَدِينَةً دَعَاهَا لُوزَ، وَهَذَا هُوَ اسْمُهَا حَتَّى الْآنَ.

27 Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

٢٧ وَأَخْفَقَ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى فِي طَرْدِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ شَانَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَأَهْلِ تَعْنَكَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانِ دُورٍ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانِ يِبْلَعَامَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَسُكَّانِ مَجِدُّو وَقُرَاهَا. فَاسْتَمَرَّ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا.

28 It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.

٢٨ وَلَمَّا قَوِيَتْ شَوْكَةُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ وَضَعُوا الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ تَحْتَ الْجِزْيَةِ، وَلَمْ يَطْرُدُوهُمْ قَطُّ.

29 Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.

٢٩ وَكَذَلِكَ فَشَلَ سِبْطُ أَفْرَايِمَ فِي طَرْدِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي جَازَرَ، فَسَكَنَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ مَعَهُمْ.

30 Zebulun didn't drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor.

٣٠ وَلَمْ يَطْرُدْ أَبْنَاءُ زَبُولُونَ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ فِي قِطْرُونَ وَنَهْلُولَ، فَأَقَامَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَفَرَضُوا عَلَيْهِمِ الْجِزْيَةَ.

31 Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;

٣١ وَأَيْضاً لَمْ يَطْرُدْ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ سُكَّانَ عَكُّو وَلا سُكَّانَ صِيدُونَ وَأَحْلَبَ وَأَكْزِيبَ وَحَلْبَةَ وَأَفِيقَ وَرَحُوبَ.

32 but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

٣٢ فَسَكَنَ الأَشِيرِيُّونَ فِي وَسَطِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَطْرُدُوهُمْ.

33 Naphtali didn't drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.

٣٣ وَلَمْ يَطْرُدْ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي سُكَّانَ بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ وَبَيْتِ عَنَاةَ بَلْ أَقَامُوا فِي وَسَطِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ، وَفَرَضُوا عَلَيْهِمِ الْجِزْيَةَ.

34 The Amorites forced the people of Dan into the hill country; for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;

٣٤ وَحَصَرَ الأَمُورِيُّونَ أَبْنَاءَ دَانٍ فِي الْجَبَلِ وَلَمْ يَسْمَحُوا لَهُمْ بِالنُّزُولِ إِلَى الْوَادِي.

35 but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to forced labor.

٣٥ وَعَزَمَ الأَمُورِيُّونَ عَلَى الإِقَامَةِ فِي جَبَلِ حَارَسَ وَفِي أَيَّلُونَ وَفِي شَعَلُبِّيمَ. وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا قَوِيَتْ شَوْكَةُ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ فَرَضُوا عَلَيْهِمِ الْجِزْيَةَ.

36 The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward.

٣٦ وَكَانَتْ حُدُودُ الأَمُورِيِّينَ تَمْتَدُّ مِنْ عَقَبَةِ عَقْرَبِّيمَ مِنْ سَالَعَ إِلَى مَا وَرَاءَهَا.
