< اَلْقُضَاة 12 >

وَٱجْتَمَعَ رِجَالُ أَفْرَايِمَ وَعَبَرُوا إِلَى جِهَةِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَقَالُوا لِيَفْتَاحَ: «لِمَاذَا عَبَرْتَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَلَمْ تَدْعُنَا لِلذَّهَابِ مَعَكَ؟ نُحْرِقُ بَيْتَكَ عَلَيْكَ بِنَارٍ». ١ 1
And the men of Ephraim are called together, and pass over northward, and say to Jephthah, 'Wherefore has thou passed over to fight against the Bene-Ammon, and on us hast not called to go with thee? thy house we burn over thee with fire.'
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَفْتَاحُ: «صَاحِبَ خِصَامٍ شَدِيدٍ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَشَعْبِي مَعَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَنَادَيْتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُخَلِّصُونِي مِنْ يَدِهِمْ. ٢ 2
And Jephthah saith unto them, 'A man of great strife I have been (I and my people) with the Bene-Ammon, and I call you, and ye have not saved me out of their hand,
وَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تُخَلِّصُونَ، وَضَعْتُ نَفْسِي فِي يَدِي وَعَبَرْتُ إِلَى بَنِي عَمُّونَ، فَدَفَعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَدِي. فَلِمَاذَا صَعِدْتُمْ عَلَيَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَذَا لِمُحَارَبَتِي؟». ٣ 3
and I see that thou art not a saviour, and I put my life in my hand, and pass over unto the Bene-Ammon, and Jehovah giveth them into my hand — and why have ye come up unto me this day to fight against me?'
وَجَمَعَ يَفْتَاحُ كُلَّ رِجَالِ جِلْعَادَ وَحَارَبَ أَفْرَايِمَ، فَضَرَبَ رِجَالُ جِلْعَادَ أَفْرَايِمَ لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «أَنْتُمْ مُنْفَلِتُو أَفْرَايِمَ. جِلْعَادُ بَيْنَ أَفْرَايِمَ وَمَنَسَّى». ٤ 4
And Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fighteth with Ephraim, and the men of Gilead smite Ephraim, because they said, 'Fugitives of Ephraim [are] ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim — in the midst of Manasseh.'
فَأَخَذَ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيُّونَ مَخَاوِضَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ لِأَفْرَايِمَ. وَكَانَ إِذْ قَالَ مُنْفَلِتُو أَفْرَايِمَ: «دَعُونِي أَعْبُرْ». كَانَ رِجَالُ جِلْعَادَ يَقُولُونَ لَهُ: «أَأَنْتَ أَفْرَايِمِيٌّ؟» فَإِنْ قَالَ: «لَا» ٥ 5
And Gilead captureth the passages of the Jordan to Ephraim, and it hath been, when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim say, 'Let me pass over,' and the men of Gilead say to him, 'An Ephramite thou?' and he saith, 'No;'
كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ لَهُ: «قُلْ إِذًا: شِبُّولَتْ» فَيَقُولُ: «سِبُّولَتْ» وَلَمْ يَتَحَفَّظْ لِلَّفْظِ بِحَقٍّ. فَكَانُوا يَأْخُذُونَهُ وَيَذْبَحُونَهُ عَلَى مَخَاوِضِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. فَسَقَطَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ ٱثْنَانِ وَأَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفًا. ٦ 6
that they say to him, 'Say, I pray thee, Shibboleth;' and he saith, 'Sibboleth,' and is not prepared to speak right — and they seize him, and slaughter him at the passages of the Jordan, and there fall at that time, of Ephraim, forty and two chiefs.
وَقَضَى يَفْتَاحُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ سِتَّ سِنِينٍ. وَمَاتَ يَفْتَاحُ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيُّ وَدُفِنَ فِي إِحْدَى مُدُنِ جِلْعَادَ. ٧ 7
And Jephthah judged Israel six years, and Jephthah the Gileadite dieth, and is buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.
وَقَضَى بَعْدَهُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ إِبْصَانُ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ. ٨ 8
And after him Ibzan of Beth-Lehem judgeth Israel,
وَكَانَ لَهُ ثَلَاثُونَ ٱبْنًا وَثَلَاثُونَ ٱبْنَةً أَرْسَلَهُنَّ إِلَى ٱلْخَارِجِ، وَأَتَى مِنَ ٱلْخَارِجِ بِثَلَاثِينَ ٱبْنَةً لِبَنِيهِ. وَقَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ. ٩ 9
and he hath thirty sons and thirty daughters, he hath sent without and thirty daughters hath brought in to his sons from without; and he judgeth Israel seven years.
وَمَاتَ إِبْصَانُ وَدُفِنَ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ. ١٠ 10
And Ibzan dieth, and is buried in Beth-Lehem.
وَقَضَى بَعْدَهُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ إِيلُونُ ٱلزَّبُولُونِيُّ. قَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ عَشَرَ سِنِينَ. ١١ 11
And after him Elon the Zebulunite judgeth Israel, and he judgeth Israel ten years,
وَمَاتَ إِيلُونُ ٱلزَّبُولُونِيُّ وَدُفِنَ فِي أَيَّلُونَ، فِي أَرْضِ زَبُولُونَ. ١٢ 12
and Elon the Zebulunite dieth, and is buried in Aijalon, in the land of Zebulun.
وَقَضَى بَعْدَهُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ عَبْدُونُ بْنُ هِلِّيلَ ٱلْفِرْعَتُونِيُّ. ١٣ 13
And after him, Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, judgeth Israel,
وَكَانَ لَهُ أَرْبَعُونَ ٱبْنًا وَثَلَاثُونَ حَفِيدًا يَرْكَبُونَ عَلَى سَبْعِينَ جَحْشًا. قَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ ثَمَانِيَ سِنِينَ. ١٤ 14
and he hath forty sons, and thirty grandsons, riding on seventy ass-colts, and he judgeth Israel eight years.
وَمَاتَ عَبْدُونُ بْنُ هِلِّيلَ ٱلْفِرْعَتُونِيُّ وَدُفِنَ فِي فِرْعَتُونَ، فِي أَرْضِ أَفْرَايِمَ، فِي جَبَلِ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةِ. ١٥ 15
And Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, dieth, and is buried in Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekite.
