< Judges 4 >

1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
وَبَعْدَ مَوْتِ إِهُودَ عَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرْتَكِبُونَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ،١
2 The LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.
فَأَخْضَعَهُمُ الرَّبُّ لِيَابِينَ مَلِكِ كَنْعَانَ الْمُقِيمِ فِي حَاصُورَ. وَكَانَ سِيسَرَا رَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ قَاطِناً فِي حَرُوشَةِ الأُمَمِ.٢
3 The children of Israel cried to the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
فَاسْتَغَاثَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالرَّبِّ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ تَحْتَ إِمْرَةِ سِيسَرَا تِسْعُ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ حَدِيدِيَّةٍ، وَقَدِ اشْتَدَّ فِي مُضَايَقَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.٣
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
وَكَانَتْ دَبُورَةُ زَوْجَةُ لَفِيدُوتَ امْرَأَةً نَبِيَّةً وَقَاضِيَةً لإِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ،٤
5 She lived under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
وَكَانَتْ تَعْقِدُ مَجْلِسَ قَضَائِهَا تَحْتَ نَخْلَةِ دَبُورَةَ بَيْنَ الرَّامَةِ وَبَيْتِ إِيلَ. فَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَفِدُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِلْقَضَاءِ.٥
6 She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, "Hasn't the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded, 'Go and draw to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the people of Naphtali and of the people of Zebulun?
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
7 I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.'"
فَأَجْتَذِبَ سِيسَرَا رَئِيسَ جَيْشِ يَابِينَ بِمَرْكَبَاتِهِ إِلَى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ وَأُظْفِرَكَ بِهِ».٧
8 Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go, for I do not know the day on which the LORD prospers his angel with me."
فَقَالَ لَهَا بَارَاقُ: «إِنْ ذَهَبْتِ مَعِي أَذْهَبْ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَذْهَبِي لا أَذْهَبْ».٨
9 She said, "I will surely go with you, but know that the journey that you take will not be for your honor; for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
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
10 Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
وَاسْتَدْعَى بَارَاقُ رِجَالَ زَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِي إِلَى قَادَشَ، فَانْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ عَشْرَةُ آلافِ رَجُلٍ. وَانْطَلَقَتْ دَبُورَةُ مَعَهُ أَيْضاً.١٠
11 Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the descendants of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
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
12 And it was reported to Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.
وَأَبْلَغُوا سِيسَرَا أَنَّ بَارَاقَ بْنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ قَدْ صَعِدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ تَابُورَ.١٢
13 Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth Haggoyim, to the river Kishon.
فَحَشَدَ سِيسَرَا مَرْكَبَاتِهِ الْحَدِيدِيَّةَ التِّسْعَ مِئَةٍ، وَجَمِيعَ جَيْشِهِ الَّذِي مَعَهُ مِنْ حَرُوشَةِ الأُمَمِ حَتَّى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ.١٣
14 Deborah said to Barak, "Arise, for this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn't the LORD gone out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
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
15 The LORD confused Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got off from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
فَأَرْعَبَ الرَّبُّ سِيسَرَا وَكُلَّ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَسَائِرَ جَيْشِهِ وَقَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ أَمَامَ بَارَاقَ. فَتَرَجَّلَ سِيسَرَا مِنْ مَرْكَبَتِهِ وَهَرَبَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ.١٥
16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth Haggoyim: and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left.
فَتَعَقَّبَ بَارَاقُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَالْجَيْشَ إِلَى حَروُشَةِ الأُمَمِ، وَتَمَّ الْقَضَاءُ عَلَى كُلِّ جَيْشِ سِيسَرَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فَلَمْ يَسْلَمْ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ.١٦
17 However Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
وَأَمَّا سِيسَرَا فَهَرَبَ مَاشِياً إِلَى خَيْمَةِ يَاعِيلَ امْرَأَةِ حَابِرَ الْقَيْنِيِّ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ عَقَدَ اتِّفَاقَ صُلْحٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَابِينَ مَلِكِ حَاصُورَ.١٧
18 Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; do not be afraid." He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
فَخَرَجَتْ يَاعِيلُ لاِسْتِقْبَالِ سِيسَرَا قَائِلَةً: «تَعَالَ إِلَى خَيْمَتِي يَا سَيِّدِي وَلا تَخَفْ». فَمَالَ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهَا وَغَطَّتْهُ بِلِحَافٍ.١٨
19 He said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty." She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا: «اسْقِينِي قَلِيلاً مِنَ الْمَاءِ لأَنِّي قَدْ عَطِشْتُ». فَفَتَحَتْ زِقَّ اللَّبَنِ وَأَسْقَتْهُ ثُمَّ غَطَّتْهُ.١٩
20 He said to her, "Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man comes and inquires of you, and says, 'Is there any man here?' that you shall say, 'No.'"
وَقَالَ لَهَا: «قِفِي بِبَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، حَتَّى إِذَا أَقْبَلَ أَحَدُهُمْ وَسَأَلَكِ: أَهُنَا أَحَدٌ؟ تَقُولِينَ: لا».٢٠
21 Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he died.
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
22 Look, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek." He came to her; and look, Sisera lay dead, and the tent peg was in his temples.
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
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَخْضَعَ الرَّبُّ يَابِينَ مَلِكَ كَنْعَانَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،٢٣
24 The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
وَاشْتَدَّتْ وَطْأَةُ سَطْوَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِ وَازْدَادَتْ قُوَّةً حَتَّى تَمَّتْ إِبَادَتُهُ كُلِّيًّا.٢٤
