< اَلْقُضَاة 14 >

وَنَزَلَ شَمْشُونُ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ، وَرَأَى ٱمْرَأَةً فِي تِمْنَةَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. ١ 1
And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines, and she was right in his eyes.
فَصَعِدَ وَأَخْبَرَ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ٱمْرَأَةً فِي تِمْنَةَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَٱلْآنَ خُذَاهَا لِيَ ٱمْرَأَةً». ٢ 2
He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as wife."
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُوهُ وَأُمُّهُ: «أَلَيْسَ فِي بَنَاتِ إِخْوَتِكَ وَفِي كُلِّ شَعْبِي ٱمْرَأَةٌ حَتَّى أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ لِتَأْخُذَ ٱمْرَأَةً مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱلْغُلْفِ؟» فَقَالَ شَمْشُونُ لِأَبِيهِ: «إِيَّاهَا خُذْ لِي لِأَنَّهَا حَسُنَتْ فِي عَيْنَيَّ». ٣ 3
Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes."
وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَبُوهُ وَأُمُّهُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَطْلُبُ عِلَّةً عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ كَانَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ مُتَسَلِّطِينَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٤ 4
But his father and his mother did not know that it was of the LORD, for he sought for an opportunity against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
فَنَزَلَ شَمْشُونُ وَأَبُوهُ وَأُمُّهُ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ، وَأَتَوْا إِلَى كُرُومِ تِمْنَةَ. وَإِذَا بِشِبْلِ أَسَدٍ يُزَمْجِرُ لِلِقَائِهِ. ٥ 5
Then Samson went down with his father and his mother to Timnah. And he turned aside and went into the vineyards of Timnah, and look, a young lion roared against him.
فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَشَقَّهُ كَشَقِّ ٱلْجَدْيِ، وَلَيْسَ فِي يَدِهِ شَيْءٌ. وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ بِمَا فَعَلَ. ٦ 6
And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat. And he had nothing in his hand, but he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
فَنَزَلَ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ فَحَسُنَتْ فِي عَيْنَيْ شَمْشُونَ. ٧ 7
He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ لِكَيْ يَأْخُذَهَا، مَالَ لِكَيْ يَرَى رِمَّةَ ٱلْأَسَدِ، وَإِذَا دَبْرٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّحْلِ فِي جَوْفِ ٱلْأَسَدِ مَعَ عَسَلٍ. ٨ 8
After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and look, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
فَٱشْتَارَ مِنْهُ عَلَى كَفَّيْهِ، وَكَانَ يَمْشِي وَيَأْكُلُ، وَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَأَعْطَاهُمَا فَأَكَلَا، وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْهُمَا أَنَّهُ مِنْ جَوْفِ ٱلْأَسَدِ ٱشْتَارَ ٱلْعَسَلَ. ٩ 9
He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
وَنَزَلَ أَبُوهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، فَعَمِلَ هُنَاكَ شَمْشُونُ وَلِيمَةً، لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ٱلْفِتْيَانُ. ١٠ 10
His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
فَلَمَّا رَأُوهُ أَحْضَرُوا ثَلَاثِينَ مِنَ ٱلْأَصْحَابِ، فَكَانُوا مَعَهُ. ١١ 11
It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «لَأُحَاجِيَنَّكُمْ أُحْجِيَّةً، فَإِذَا حَلَلْتُمُوهُا لِي فِي سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامِ ٱلْوَلِيمَةِ وَأَصَبْتُمُوهَا، أُعْطِيكُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ قَمِيصًا وَثَلَاثِينَ حُلَّةَ ثِيَابٍ. ١٢ 12
Samson said to them, "Let me now put forth a riddle to you. If you can explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and figure it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.
وَإِنْ لَمْ تَقْدِرُوا أَنْ تَحُلُّوهَا لِي، تُعْطُونِي أَنْتُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ قَمِيصًا وَثَلَاثِينَ حُلَّةَ ثِيَابٍ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «حَاجِ أُحْجِيَّتَكَ فَنَسْمَعَهَا». ١٣ 13
But if you can't explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." And they said to him, "Propose your riddle, we want to hear it."
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مِنَ ٱلْآكِلِ خَرَجَ أُكْلٌ، وَمِنَ ٱلْجَافِي خَرَجَتْ حَلَاوَةٌ». فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يَحُلُّوا ٱلأُحْجِيَّةَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ. ١٤ 14
He said to them, "Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness." They couldn't in three days declare the riddle.
وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لِٱمْرَأَةِ شَمْشُونَ: «تَمَلَّقِي رَجُلَكِ لِكَيْ يُظْهِرَ لَنَا ٱلأُحْجِيَّةَ، لِئَلَّا نُحْرِقَكِ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكِ بِنَارٍ. أَلِتَسْلِبُونَا دَعَوْتُمُونَا أَمْ لَا؟» ١٥ 15
And it happened on the fourth day, that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Did you invite us here to impoverish us?"
فَبَكَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ شَمْشُونَ لَدَيْهِ وَقَالَتْ: «إِنَّمَا كَرِهْتَنِي وَلَا تُحِبُّنِي. قَدْ حَاجَيْتَ بَنِي شَعْبِي أُحْجِيَّةً وَإِيَّايَ لَمْ تُخْبِرْ». فَقَالَ لَهَا: «هُوَذَا أَبِي وَأُمِّي لَمْ أُخْبِرْهُمَا، فَهَلْ إِيَّاكِ أُخْبِرُ؟». ١٦ 16
Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You just hate me, and do not love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me." And he said to her, "Look, I haven't told it to my father or my mother, and shall I tell you?"
فَبَكَتْ لَدَيْهِ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا كَانَتْ لَهُمُ ٱلْوَلِيمَةُ. وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهَا لِأَنَّهَا ضَايَقَتْهُ، فَأَظْهَرَتِ ٱلأُحْجِيَّةَ لِبَنِي شَعْبِهَا. ١٧ 17
She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him hard; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
فَقَالَ لَهُ رِجَالُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ: «أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَحْلَى مِنَ ٱلْعَسَلِ، وَمَا أَجْفَى مِنَ ٱلْأَسَدِ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَوْ لَمْ تَحْرُثُوا عَلَى عِجْلَتِي، لَمَا وَجَدْتُمْ أُحْجِيَّتِي». ١٨ 18
The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" He said to them, "If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have found out my riddle."
وَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَنَزَلَ إِلَى أَشْقَلُونَ وَقَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا، وَأَخَذَ سَلَبَهُمْ وَأَعْطَى ٱلْحُلَلَ لِمُظْهِرِي ٱلأُحْجِيَّةِ. وَحَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ. ١٩ 19
The Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their belongings, and gave their garments to those who explained the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
فَصَارَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ شَمْشُونَ لِصَاحِبِهِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُصَاحِبُهُ. ٢٠ 20
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
