Judges 2
1 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to depart from Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
| وَاجْتَازَ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ مِنَ الْجِلْجَالِ إِلَى بُوكِيمَ وَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ أَخْرَجْتُكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَجِئْتُ بِكُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي حَلَفْتُ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لِآبَائِكُمْ، وَقُلْتُ: لَا أَنْقُضُ عَهْدِي مَعَكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، | ١ |
2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
| وَأَمَرْتُكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَقْطَعُوا عَهْداً مَعَ أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَنْ تَهْدِمُوا مَذَابِحَهُمْ. غَيْرَ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تُطِيعُوا صَوْتِي. فَلِمَاذَا فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا؟ | ٢ |
3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
| لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ أَيْضاً: لَا أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، فَيُصْبِحُوا شَوْكاً فِي جُنُوبِكُمْ، وَتَكُونُ آلِهَتُهُمْ لَكُمْ شَرَكاً». | ٣ |
4 And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
| فَمَا إِنْ نَطَقَ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى رَفَعَ الشَّعْبُ صَوْتَهُ بِالْبُكَاءِ. | ٤ |
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
| وَدَعَوْا اسْمَ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ بُوكِيمَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الْبَاكُونَ) وَقَدَّمُوا هُنَاكَ ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٥ |
6 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
| وَصَرَفَ يَشُوعُ الشَّعْبَ، فَمَضَى كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لامْتِلاكِ مِيرَاثِهِ. | ٦ |
7 And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.
| وَظَلَّ الشَّعْبُ يَعْبُدُ الرَّبَّ طَوَالَ حَيَاةِ يَشُوعَ، وَكُلَّ أَيَّامِ الشُّيُوخِ الَّذِينَ عَمَّرُوا طَوِيلاً بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ، وَالَّذِينَ شَهِدُوا كُلَّ الْمُعْجِزَاتِ الْخَارِقَةِ الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ |
8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, [being] a hundred and ten years old.
| وَمَاتَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ وَقَدْ بَلَغَ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ مِئَةً وَعَشْرَ سَنَوَاتٍ، | ٨ |
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
| فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي حُدُودِ أَمْلاكِهِ فِي تِمْنَةَ حَارَسَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ شِمَالِيَّ جَبَلِ جَاعَشَ. | ٩ |
10 And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
| وَكَذَلِكَ مَاتَ أَيْضاً كُلُّ جِيلِ يَشُوعَ، وَأَعْقَبَهُمْ جِيلٌ آخَرُ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ الرَّبَّ وَلا كُلَّ أَعْمَالِهِ الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ |
11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
| وَاقْتَرَفَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ وَعَبَدُوا الْبَعْلِيمَ، | ١١ |
12 And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that [were] around them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
| وَنَبَذُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمِ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَغَوَوْا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ أَوْثَانِ الشُّعُوبِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِمْ، وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا، فَأَغَاظُوا الرَّبَّ. | ١٢ |
13 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
| تَرَكُوا الرَّبَّ وَعَبَدُوا الْبَعْلَ وَعَشْتَارُوثَ. | ١٣ |
14 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies around, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
| فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَتَرَكَهُمْ تَحْتَ رَحْمَةِ النَّاهِبِينَ الْغُزَاةِ. وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ إِلَى أَعْدَائِهِمِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِمْ فَعَجَزُوا عَنْ مُقَاوَمَتِهِمْ. | ١٤ |
15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
| وَحَيْثُمَا خَرَجُوا لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ كَانَ الرَّبُّ ضِدَّهُمْ فَيَنْكَسِرُونَ، تَمَاماً كَمَا سَبَقَ وَحَذَّرَهُمْ، فَاعْتَرَاهُمْ ضِيقٌ عَظِيمٌ جِدّاً. | ١٥ |
16 Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, who delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
| وَأَقَامَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ قُضَاةً فَأَنْقَذُوهُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي غُزَاتِهِمْ. | ١٦ |
17 And yet they would not hearken to their judges, but they went astray after other gods, and bowed themselves to them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; [but] they did not so.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ عَصَوْا قُضَاتَهُمْ أَيْضاً، وَخَانُوا الرَّبَّ إِذْ عَبَدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا، وَتَحَوَّلُوا سَرِيعاً عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي سَلَكَهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ إِطَاعَةً لِوَصَايَا الرَّبِّ. | ١٧ |
18 And when the LORD raised up judges for them, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: (for the LORD repented because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and burdened them.)
| وَفِي كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ كَانَ الرَّبُّ يُقِيمُ قَاضِياً كَانَ يُؤَيِّدُه بِقُوَّةٍ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِهِ فَيُخَلِّصُ الشَّعْبَ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ أَعْدَائِهِ إِذْ يُشْفِقُ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ مِمَّا يُذِيقُهُمْ مُضَايِقُوهُمْ وَظَالِمُوهُمْ مِنْ عَذَابٍ؛ فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ يُنْقِذُهُمْ طَوَالَ حَيَاةِ الْقَاضِي. | ١٨ |
19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, [that] they returned, and corrupted [themselves] more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
| وَلَكِنْ مَا إِنْ يَمُوتُ الْقَاضِي حَتَّى يَرْتَدُّوا عَنِ الرَّبِّ وَيَتَفَاقَمَ فَسَادُهُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ تَفَاقُمِ فَسَادِ آبَائِهِمْ بِالسَّعْيِ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِيَعْبُدُوهَا وَيَسْجُدُوا لَهَا. لَمْ يَرْتَدِعُوا عَنْ أَفْعَالِهِمْ وَسُلُوكِهِمِ الْعَنِيدِ. | ١٩ |
20 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to my voice;
| فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ قَدْ نَقَضَ عَهْدِي الَّذِي عَقَدْتُهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ، وَعَصَوْنِي، | ٢٠ |
21 I also will not henceforth drive out from before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
| فَإِنِّي لَنْ أَطْرُدَ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ أَيَّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ تَرَكَهُمْ يَشُوعُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it, as their fathers kept [it], or not.
| بَلْ سَأُبْقِي عَلَيْهِمْ لأَمْتَحِنَ بِهِمْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَرَى أَيَحْفَظُونَ طَرِيقِي لِيَسْلُكُوا فِيهَا كَمَا حَفِظَهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ أَمْ لا». | ٢٢ |
23 Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out speedily, neither did he deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
| وَهَكَذَا تَرَكَ الرَّبُّ أُولَئِكَ الأُمَمَ وَلَمْ يَتَعَجَّلْ بِطَرْدِهِمْ وَلَمْ يُخْضِعْهُمْ لِيَشُوعَ. | ٢٣ |
