< اَلْقُضَاة 13 >

ثُمَّ عَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَدَفَعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. ١ 1
And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord gave them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.
وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ صُرْعَةَ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ ٱلدَّانِيِّينَ ٱسْمُهُ مَنُوحُ، وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ عَاقِرٌ لَمْ تَلِدْ. ٢ 2
Now there was a certain man of Zorah of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; and his wife had never given birth to a child.
فَتَرَاءَى مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلْمَرْأَةِ وَقَالَ لَهَا: «هَا أَنْتِ عَاقِرٌ لَمْ تَلِدِي، وَلَكِنَّكِ تَحْبَلِينَ وَتَلِدِينَ ٱبْنًا. ٣ 3
And the angel of the Lord came to the woman, and said to her, See now! though you have never given birth to children, you will be with child and give birth to a son.
وَٱلْآنَ فَٱحْذَرِي وَلَا تَشْرَبِي خَمْرًا وَلَا مُسْكِرًا، وَلَا تَأْكُلِي شَيْئًا نَجِسًا. ٤ 4
Now then take care to have no wine or strong drink and to take no unclean thing for food;
فَهَا إِنَّكِ تَحْبَلِينَ وَتَلِدِينَ ٱبْنًا، وَلَا يَعْلُ مُوسَى رَأْسَهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلصَّبِيَّ يَكُونُ نَذِيرًا لِلهِ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ، وَهُوَ يَبْدَأُ يُخَلِّصُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». ٥ 5
For you are with child and will give birth to a son; his hair is never to be cut, for the child is to be separate to God from his birth; and he will take up the work of freeing Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
فَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَكَلَّمَتْ رَجُلَهَا قَائِلَةً: «جَاءَ إِلَيَّ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ، وَمَنْظَرُهُ كَمَنْظَرِ مَلَاكِ ٱللهِ، مُرْهِبٌ جِدًّا. وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ: مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ، وَلَا هُوَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنِ ٱسْمِهِ. ٦ 6
Then the woman came in, and said to her husband, A man came to me, and his form was like the form of a god, causing great fear; I put no question to him about where he came from, and he did not give me his name;
وَقَالَ لِي: هَا أَنْتِ تَحْبَلِينَ وَتَلِدِينَ ٱبْنًا. وَٱلْآنَ فَلَا تَشْرَبِي خَمْرًا وَلَا مُسْكِرًا، وَلَا تَأْكُلِي شَيْئًا نَجِسًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلصَّبِيَّ يَكُونُ نَذِيرًا لِلهِ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهِ». ٧ 7
But he said to me, You are with child and will give birth to a son; and now do not take any wine or strong drink or let anything unclean be your food; for the child will be separate to God from his birth to the day of his death.
فَصَلَّى مَنُوحُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «أَسْأَلُكَ يَاسَيِّدِي أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَيْضًا إِلَيْنَا رَجُلُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَهُ، وَيُعَلِّمَنَا: مَاذَا نَعْمَلُ لِلصَّبِيِّ ٱلَّذِي يُولَدُ؟». ٨ 8
Then Manoah made prayer to the Lord, and said, O Lord, let the man of God whom you sent come to us again and make clear to us what we are to do for the child who is to come.
فَسَمِعَ ٱللهُ لِصَوْتِ مَنُوحَ، فَجَاءَ مَلَاكُ ٱللهِ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ وَهِيَ جَالِسَةٌ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَمَنُوحُ رَجُلُهَا لَيْسَ مَعَهَا. ٩ 9
And God gave ear to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came to the woman again when she was seated in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.
فَأَسْرَعَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَرَكَضَتْ وَأَخْبَرَتْ رَجُلَهَاوَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا قَدْ تَرَاءَى لِيَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَيَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ». ١٠ 10
So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.
فَقَامَ مَنُوحُ وَسَارَ وَرَاءَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَأَنْتَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ مَعَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنَا هُوَ». ١١ 11
And Manoah got up and went after his wife, and came up to the man and said to him, Are you the man who was talking to this woman? And he said, I am.
فَقَالَ مَنُوحُ: «عِنْدَ مَجِيءِ كَلَامِكَ، مَاذَا يَكُونُ حُكْمُ ٱلصَّبِيِّ وَمُعَامَلَتُهُ؟» ١٢ 12
And Manoah said, Now when your words come true, what is to be the rule for the child and what will be his work?
فَقَالَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ لِمَنُوحَ: «مِنْ كُلِّ مَا قُلْتُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ فَلْتَحْتَفِظْ. ١٣ 13
And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Let the woman take note of what I have said to her.
مِنْ كُلِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ جَفْنَةِ ٱلْخَمْرِ لَا تَأْكُلْ، وَخَمْرًا وَمُسْكِرًا لَا تَشْرَبْ، وَكُلَّ نَجِسٍ لَا تَأْكُلْ. لِتَحْذَرْ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُهَا». ١٤ 14
She is to have nothing which comes from the vine for her food, and let her take no wine or strong drink or anything which is unclean; let her take care to do all I have given her orders to do.
فَقَالَ مَنُوحُ لِمَلَاكِ ٱلرَّبِّ: «دَعْنَا نُعَوِّقْكَ وَنَعْمَلْ لَكَ جَدْيَ مِعْزًى». ١٥ 15
And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you.
فَقَالَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ لِمَنُوحَ: «وَلَوْ عَوَّقْتَنِي لَا آكُلُ مِنْ خُبْزِكَ، وَإِنْ عَمِلْتَ مُحْرَقَةً فَلِلرَّبِّ أَصْعِدْهَا». لِأَنَّ مَنُوحَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٦ 16
And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Though you keep me I will not take of your food; but if you will make a burned offering, let it be offered to the Lord. For it had not come into Manoah's mind that he was the angel of the Lord.
فَقَالَ مَنُوحُ لِمَلَاكِ ٱلرَّبِّ: «مَا ٱسْمُكَ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ كَلَامُكَ نُكْرِمُكَ؟» ١٧ 17
Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, What is your name, so that when your words come true we may give you honour?
فَقَالَ لَهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُ عَنِ ٱسْمِي وَهُوَ عَجِيبٌ؟». ١٨ 18
But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?
فَأَخَذَ مَنُوحُ جَدْيَ ٱلْمِعْزَى وَٱلتَّقْدِمَةَ وَأَصْعَدَهُمَا عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ لِلرَّبِّ. فَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا عَجِيبًا وَمَنُوحُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ يَنْظُرَانِ. ١٩ 19
So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.
فَكَانَ عِنْدَ صُعُودِ ٱللَّهِيبِ عَنِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، أَنَّ مَلَاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ صَعِدَ فِي لَهِيبِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَمَنُوحُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ يَنْظُرَانِ. فَسَقَطَا عَلَى وَجْهَيْهِمَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٢٠ 20
And when the flame went up to heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar, while Manoah and his wife were looking on; and they went down on their faces to the earth.
وَلَمْ يَعُدْ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَتَرَاءَى لِمَنُوحَ وَٱمْرَأَتِهِ. حِينَئِذٍ عَرَفَ مَنُوحُ أَنَّهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢١ 21
But the angel of the Lord was seen no more by Manoah and his wife. Then it was clear to Manoah that he was the angel of the Lord.
فَقَالَ مَنُوحُ لِٱمْرَأَتِهِ: «نَمُوتُ مَوْتًا لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا ٱللهَ» ٢٢ 22
And Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen.
فَقَالَتْ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ: «لَوْ أَرَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يُمِيتَنَا، لَمَا أَخَذَ مِنْ يَدِنَا مُحْرَقَةً وَتَقْدِمَةً، وَلَمَا أَرَانَا كُلَّ هَذِهِ، وَلَمَا كَانَ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْوَقْتِ أَسْمَعَنَا مِثْلَ هَذِهِ». ٢٣ 23
But his wife said to him, If the Lord was purposing our death, he would not have taken our burned offering and our meal offering, or have given us such orders about the child.
فَوَلَدَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱبْنًا وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ شَمْشُونَ. فَكَبِرَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ وَبَارَكَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٢٤ 24
So the woman gave birth to a son, and gave him the name Samson; and he became a man and the blessing of the Lord was on him.
وَٱبْتَدَأَ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ يُحَرِّكُهُ فِي مَحَلَّةِ دَانٍ بَيْنَ صُرْعَةَ وَأَشْتَأُولَ. ٢٥ 25
And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
