Judges 7
1 Then Jerubbaal (who [is] Gideon) and all the people that [were] with him, rose early, and encamped 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.
| فَبَكَّرَ يَرُبَّعْلُ، أَيْ جِدْعُونُ، وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ وَنَزَلُوا عَلَى عَيْنِ حَرُودَ. وَكَانَ جَيْشُ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ شِمَالِيَّهُمْ عِنْدَ تَلِّ مُورَةَ فِي ٱلْوَادِي. | ١ |
2 And the LORD said to 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, My own hand hath saved me.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «إِنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي مَعَكَ كَثِيرٌ عَلَيَّ لِأَدْفَعَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ بِيَدِهِمْ، لِئَلَّا يَفْتَخِرَ عَلَيَّ إِسْرَائِيلُ قَائِلًا: يَدِي خَلَّصَتْنِي. | ٢ |
3 Now therefore, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever [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.
| وَٱلْآنَ نَادِ فِي آذَانِ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: مَنْ كَانَ خَائِفًا وَمُرْتَعِدًا فَلْيَرْجِعْ وَيَنْصَرِفْ مِنْ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ». فَرَجَعَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱثْنَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا. وَبَقِيَ عَشَرَةُ آلَافٍ. | ٣ |
4 And the LORD said to Gideon, The people [are] yet [too] many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be, [that] of whom I say to thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say to thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «لَمْ يَزَلِ ٱلشَّعْبُ كَثِيرًا. اِنْزِلْ بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ فَأُنَقِّيَهُمْ لَكَ هُنَاكَ. وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِي أَقُولُ لَكَ عَنْهُ: هَذَا يَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ، فَهُوَ يَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ أَقُولُ لَكَ عَنْهُ: هَذَا لَا يَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ فَهُوَ لَا يَذْهَبُ». | ٤ |
5 So he brought down the people to the water: and the LORD said to 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 بِٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ. وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَلَغُ بِلِسَانِهِ مِنَ ٱلْمَاءِ كَمَا يَلَغُ ٱلْكَلْبُ فَأَوْقِفْهُ وَحْدَهُ. وَكَذَا كُلُّ مَنْ جَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ لِلشُّرْبِ». | 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.
| وَكَانَ عَدَدُ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَغُوا بِيَدِهِمْ إِلَى فَمِهِمْ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ. وَأَمَّا بَاقِي ٱلشَّعْبِ جَمِيعًا فَجَثَوْا عَلَى رُكَبِهِمْ لِشُرْبِ ٱلْمَاءِ. | ٦ |
7 And the LORD said to Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand: and let all the [other] people go every man to his place.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِجِدْعُونَ: «بِٱلثَّلَاثِ مِئَةِ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَغُوا أُخَلِّصُكُمْ وَأَدْفَعُ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ لِيَدِكَ. وَأَمَّا سَائِرُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَلْيَذْهَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ». | ٧ |
8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all [the rest of] Israel every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. And the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
| فَأَخَذَ ٱلشَّعْبُ زَادًا بِيَدِهِمْ مَعَ أَبْوَاقِهِمْ. وَأَرْسَلَ سَائِرَ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ، وَأَمْسَكَ ٱلثَّلَاثَ مِئَةِ ٱلرَّجُلِ. وَكَانَتْ مَحَلَّةُ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ تَحْتَهُ فِي ٱلْوَادِي. | ٨ |
9 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Arise, go down to the host; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
| وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «قُمِ ٱنْزِلْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ دَفَعْتُهَا إِلَى يَدِكَ. | ٩ |
10 But if thou fearest to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:
| وَإِنْ كُنْتَ خَائِفًا مِنَ ٱلنُّزُولِ، فَٱنْزِلْ أَنْتَ وَفُورَةُ غُلَامُكَ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، | ١٠ |
11 And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down to the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant to the outside of the armed men that [were] in the host.
| وَتَسْمَعُ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِهِ، وَبَعْدُ تَتَشَدَّدُ يَدَاكَ وَتَنْزِلُ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ». فَنَزَلَ هُوَ وَفُورَةُ غُلَامُهُ إِلَى آخِرِ ٱلْمُتَجَهِّزِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | 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 ٱلْمِدْيَانِيُّونَ وَٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ وَكُلُّ بَنِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ حَالِّينَ فِي ٱلْوَادِي كَٱلْجَرَادِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ، وَجِمَالُهُمْ لَا عَدَدَ لَهَا كَٱلرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ. | ١٢ |
13 And when Gideon had come, behold, [there was] a man that told a dream to his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, a cake of barley-bread rolled into the host of Midian, and came to a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it that the tent lay along.
| وَجَاءَ جِدْعُونُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُخَبِّرُ صَاحِبَهُ بِحُلْمٍ وَيَقُولُ: «هُوَذَا قَدْ حَلُمْتُ حُلْمًا، وَإِذَا رَغِيفُ خُبْزِ شَعِيرٍ يَتَدَحْرَجُ فِي مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَضَرَبَهَا فَسَقَطَتْ، وَقَلَبَهَا إِلَى فَوْقُ فَسَقَطَتِ ٱلْخَيْمَةُ». | 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 وَقَالَ: «لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ إِلأَّ سَيْفَ جِدْعُونَ بْنِ يُوآشَ رَجُلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. قَدْ دَفَعَ ٱللهُ إِلَى يَدِهِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ ٱلْجَيْشِ». | ١٤ |
15 And it was [so], when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and returned to the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ جِدْعُونُ خَبَرَ ٱلْحُلْمِ وَتَفْسِيرَهُ، أَنَّهُ سَجَدَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَحَلَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «قُومُوا لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَ إِلَى يَدِكُمْ جَيْشَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ». | 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 ٱلثَّلَاثَ مِئَةِ ٱلرَّجُلِ إِلَى ثَلَاثِ فِرَقٍ، وَجَعَلَ أَبْوَاقًا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ كُلِّهِمْ، وَجِرَارًا فَارِغَةً وَمَصَابِيحَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجِرَارِ. | ١٦ |
17 And he said to 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 لَهُمُ: «ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَيَّ وَٱفْعَلُوا كَذَلِكَ. وَهَا أَنَا آتٍ إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، فَيَكُونُ كَمَا أَفْعَلُ أَنَّكُمْ هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُونَ. | 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 ضَرَبْتُ بِٱلْبُوقِ أَنَا وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعِي، فَٱضْرِبُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ حَوْلَ كُلِّ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَقُولُوا: لِلرَّبِّ وَلِجِدْعُونَ». | ١٨ |
19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that [were] with him, came to 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 broke the pitchers that [were] in their hands.
| فَجَاءَ جِدْعُونُ وَٱلْمِئَةُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلْهَزِيعِ ٱلْأَوْسَطِ، وَكَانُوا إِذْ ذَاكَ قَدْ أَقَامُوا ٱلْحُرَّاسَ، فَضَرَبُوا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ وَكَسَّرُوا ٱلْجِرَارَ ٱلَّتِي بِأَيْدِيهِمْ. | ١٩ |
20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow [with]: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
| فَضَرَبَتِ ٱلْفِرَقُ ٱلثَّلَاثُ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ وَكَسَّرُوا ٱلْجِرَارَ، وَأَمْسَكُوا ٱلْمَصَابِيحَ بِأَيْدِيهِمِ ٱلْيُسْرَى وَٱلْأَبْوَاقَ بِأَيْدِيهِمِ ٱلْيُمْنَى لِيَضْرِبُوا بِهَا، وَصَرَخُوا: «سَيْفٌ لِلرَّبِّ وَلِجِدْعُونَ». | ٢٠ |
21 And they stood every man in his place around the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
| وَوَقَفُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَكَانِهِ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. فَرَكَضَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَيْشِ وَصَرَخُوا وَهَرَبُوا. | 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 Zereroth, [and] to the border of Abel-meholah, to Tabbath.
| وَضَرَبَ ٱلثَّلَاثُ ٱلْمِئِينَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَيْفَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ بِصَاحِبِهِ وَبِكُلِّ ٱلْجَيْشِ. فَهَرَبَ ٱلْجَيْشُ إِلَى بَيْتِ شِطَّةَ، إِلَى صَرَدَةَ حَتَّى إِلَى حَافَةِ آبَلِ مَحُولَةَ، إِلَى طَبَّاةَ. | ٢٢ |
23 And the men of Israel assembled out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued the Midianites.
| فَٱجْتَمَعَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ نَفْتَالِي وَمِنْ أَشِيرَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ مَنَسَّى وَتَبِعُوا ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٣ |
24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters to Beth-barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim assembled, and took the waters to Beth-barah and Jordan.
| فَأَرْسَلَ جِدْعُونُ رُسُلًا إِلَى كُلِّ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ قَائِلًا: «ٱنْزِلُوا لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَخُذُوا مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمِيَاهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ بَارَةَ وَٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». فَٱجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمِيَاهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ بَارَةَ وَٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | 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 wine-press of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of Jordan.
| وَأَمْسَكُوا أَمِيرَيِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ غُرَابًا وَذِئْبًا، وَقَتَلُوا غُرَابًا عَلَى صَخْرَةِ غُرَابٍ، وَأَمَّا ذِئْبٌ فَقَتَلُوهُ فِي مِعْصَرَةِ ذِئْبٍ. وَتَبِعُوا ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَأَتَوْا بِرَأْسَيْ غُرَابٍ وَذِئْبٍ إِلَى جِدْعُونَ مِنْ عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | ٢٥ |
