Judges 15
1 But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat. He said, “I will go in to my wife’s room.” But her father wouldn’t allow him to go in.
| وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ مُدَّةٍ فِي مَوْسِمِ حَصَادِ الْقَمْحِ، أَنَّ شَمْشُونَ أَخَذَ جَدْياً وَذَهَبَ لِيَزُورَ زَوْجَتَهُ، | ١ |
2 Her father said, “I most certainly thought that you utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn’t her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please, take her instead.”
| وَقَالَ لِحَمِيهِ: «أَنَا دَاخِلٌ إِلَى مُخْدَعِ زَوْجَتِي». وَلَكِنَّ أَبَاهَا مَنَعَهُ وَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ كَرِهْتَهَا فَزَوَّجْتُهَا لِنَدِيمِكَ. فَلِمَاذَا لَا تَتَزَوَّجُ أُخْتَهَا الأَصْغَرَ مِنْهَا عِوَضاً عَنْهَا؟ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ أَجْمَلَ مِنْهَا؟» | ٢ |
3 Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in the case of the Philistines when I harm them.”
| فَأَجَابَهُ شَمْشُونُ: «لا لَوْمَ عَلَيَّ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ إِذَا انْتَقَمْتُ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». | ٣ |
4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the middle between every two tails.
| وَانْطَلَقَ شَمْشُونُ وَاصْطَادَ ثَلاثَ مِئَةِ ثَعْلَبٍ وَرَبَطَ ذَيْلَيْ كُلِّ ثَعْلَبَيْنِ مَعاً وَوَضَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا مَشْعَلاً، | ٤ |
5 When he had set the torches on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves.
| ثُمَّ أَضْرَمَ الْمَشَاعِلَ بِالنَّارِ وَأَطْلَقَ الثَّعَالِبَ بَيْنَ زُرُوعِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَأَحْرَقَتْ حُقُولَ الْقَمْحِ وَأَكْدَاسَ الْحُبُوبِ وَأَشْجَارَ الزَّيْتُونِ. | ٥ |
6 Then the Philistines said, “Who has done this?” They said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion.” The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
| فَسَأَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ: «مَنِ الْجَانِي؟» فَقِيلَ لَهُمْ: «شَمْشُونُ صِهْرُ التِّمْنِيِّ، لأَنَّهُ أَخَذَ امْرَأَةَ شَمْشُونَ وَزَوَّجَهَا لِنَدِيمِه»، فَصَعِدَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا مَعَ أَبِيهَا بِالنَّارِ. | ٦ |
7 Samson said to them, “If you behave like this, surely I will take revenge on you, and after that I will cease.”
| فَقَالَ شَمْشُونُ: «لأَنَّكُمْ هَكَذَا تَتَصَرَّفُونَ فَإِنَّنِي لَنْ أَكُفَّ حَتَّى أَنْتَقِمَ مِنْكُمْ». | ٧ |
8 He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; and he went down and lived in the cave in Etam’s rock.
| وَهَجَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِضَرَاوَةٍ وَقَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ كَثِيرِينَ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى مَغَارَةِ صَخْرَةِ عِيطَمَ وَأَقَامَ فِيهَا. | ٨ |
9 Then the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
| فَتَقَدَّمَ جَيْشُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَاحْتَلُّوا أَرْضَ يَهُوذَا وَانْتَشَرُوا فِي لَحْيٍ | ٩ |
10 The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?” They said, “We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.”
| فَسَأَلَهُمْ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا: «لِمَاذَا جِئْتُمْ لِمُحَارَبَتِنَا؟» فَأَجَابُوهُمْ: «جِئْنَا لِكَيْ نَأْسِرَ شَمْشُونَ وَنَفْعَلَ بِهِ مِثْلَمَا فَعَلَ بِنَا». | ١٠ |
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in Etam’s rock, and said to Samson, “Don’t you know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?” He said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.”
| فَذَهَبَ ثَلاثَةُ آلافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى مَغَارَةِ صَخْرَةِ عِيطَمَ وَقَالُوا لِشَمْشُونَ: «أَلا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مُتَسَلِّطُونَ عَلَيْنَا، فَمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِنَا؟» فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «كَمَا فَعَلُوا بِي هَكَذَا فَعَلْتُ بِهِمْ». | ١١ |
12 They said to him, “We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not attack me yourselves.”
| فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لَقَدْ جِئْنَا لِنُوْثِقَكَ وَنُسَلِّمَكَ إِلَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «احْلِفُوا لِي أَنْ لَا تَقْتُلُونِي بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ». | ١٢ |
13 They spoke to him, saying, “No, but we will bind you securely and deliver you into their hands; but surely we will not kill you.” They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
| فَأَجَابُوهُ: «لا، لَنْ نَقْتُلَكَ نَحْنُ، إِنَّمَا نُوْثِقُكَ وَنُسَلِّمُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ». فَأَوْثَقُوهُ بِحَبْلَيْنِ جَدِيدَيْنِ وَأَخْرَجُوهُ مِنَ الْمَغَارَةِ. | ١٣ |
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. Then the LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire; and his bands dropped from off his hands.
| فَلَمَّا وَصَلَ إِلَى لَحْيٍ هَبَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ صَارِخِينَ لِلِقَائِهِ، فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ، وَقَطَعَ الْحَبْلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ عَلَى ذِرَاعَيْهِ وَكَأَنَّهُمَا خُيُوطُ كَتَّانٍ مُحْتَرِقَةٌ. | ١٤ |
15 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, put out his hand, took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
| وَعَثَرَ عَلَى فَكِّ حِمَارٍ طَرِيٍّ، تَنَاوَلَهُ وَقَتَلَ بِهِ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ. | ١٥ |
16 Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ شَمْشُونُ: «بِفَكِّ حِمَارٍ كَوَّمْتُ أَكْدَاساً فَوْقَ أَكْدَاسٍ، بِفَكِّ حِمَارٍ قَضَيْتُ عَلَى أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ». | ١٦ |
17 When he had finished speaking, he threw the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
| وَعِنْدَمَا كَفَّ عَنِ الْكَلامِ أَلْقَى فَكَّ الْحِمَارِ مِنْ يَدِهِ، وَدَعَا ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ رَمَتَ لَحْيٍ (وَمَعْنَاهُ تَلُّ عَظْمَةِ الْفَكِّ). | ١٧ |
18 He was very thirsty, and called on the LORD and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die of thirst, and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”
| وَعَطِشَ شَمْشُونُ عَطَشاً شَدِيداً، فَاسْتَغَاثَ بِالرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «لَقَدْ مَنَحْتَ هَذَا الْخَلاصَ الْعَظِيمَ عَلَى يَدِ عَبْدِكَ، فَهَلْ أَمُوتُ الآنَ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ وَأَقَعُ أَسِيراً فِي يَدِ الْغُلْفِ؟» | ١٨ |
19 But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
| فَفَجَّرَ اللهُ لَهُ يَنْبُوعَ مَاءٍ مِنْ فَتْحَةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ فِي لَحْيٍ، فَشَرِبَ مِنْهَا وَانْتَعَشَتْ نَفْسُهُ. لِذَلِكَ دَعَا اسْمَ الْمَوْضِعِ عَيْنَ هَقُّورِي (وَمَعْنَاهُ يَنْبُوعُ الَّذِي دَعَا). وَمَازَالَ الْيَنْبُوعُ فِي لَحْيٍ إِلَى يَوْمِنَا هَذَا. | ١٩ |
20 He judged Israel twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
| وَظَلَّ شَمْشُونُ قَاضِياً لإِسْرَائِيلَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُكْمِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٢٠ |
