اَلْقُضَاة 15
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ مُدَّةٍ فِي أَيَّامِ حَصَادِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ، أَنَّ شَمْشُونَ ٱفْتَقَدَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ بِجَدْيِ مِعْزًى. | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass after a time, in the days of wheat harvest, that Sampson visited his wife with a kid, and said, I will go in to my wife even into the chamber: but her father did not suffer him to go in.
| وَقَالَ: «أَدْخُلُ إِلَى ٱمْرَأَتِي إِلَى حُجْرَتِهَا». وَلَكِنَّ أَبَاهَا لَمْ يَدَعْهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ. وَقَالَ أَبُوهَا: «إِنِّي قُلْتُ إِنَّكَ قَدْ كَرِهْتَهَا فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا لِصَاحِبِكَ. أَلَيْسَتْ أُخْتُهَا ٱلصَّغِيرَةُ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا؟ فَلْتَكُنْ لَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهَا». | ٢ 2 |
And her father spoke, saying, I said that you did surely hate her, and I gave her to one of your friends: [is] not her younger sister better than she? let her be to you instead of her.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ ٱلْآنَ مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ إِذَا عَمِلْتُ بِهِمْ شَرًّا». | ٣ 3 |
And Sampson said to them, Even for once am I guiltless with regard to the Philistines, in that I do mischief among them.
| وَذَهَبَ شَمْشُونُ وَأَمْسَكَ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ ٱبْنِ آوَى، وَأَخَذَ مَشَاعِلَ وَجَعَلَ ذَنَبًا إِلَى ذَنَبٍ، وَوَضَعَ مَشْعَلًا بَيْنَ كُلِّ ذَنَبَيْنِ فِي ٱلْوَسَطِ، | ٤ 4 |
And Sampson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch between two tails, and fastened it.
| ثُمَّ أَضْرَمَ ٱلْمَشَاعِلَ نَارًا وَأَطْلَقَهَا بَيْنَ زُرُوعِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَأَحْرَقَ ٱلْأَكْدَاسَ وَٱلزَّرْعَ وَكُرُومَ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ. | ٥ 5 |
And he set fire to the torches, and sent [the foxes] into the corn of the Philistines; and every thing was burnt from the threshing floor to the standing corn, and even to the vineyard and olives.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ: «مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا؟» فَقَالُوا: «شَمْشُونُ صِهْرُ ٱلتِّمْنِيِّ، لِأَنَّهُ أَخَذَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ وَأَعْطَاهَا لِصَاحِبِهِ». فَصَعِدَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا وَأَبَاهَا بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٦ 6 |
And the Philistines said, Who [has done] these things? and they said, Sampson the son-in-law of the Thamnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to one of his friends; and the Philistines went up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «وَلَوْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا فَإِنِّي أَنْتَقِمُ مِنْكُمْ، وَبَعْدُ أَكُفُّ». | ٧ 7 |
And Sampson said to them, Though you may have dealt thus with her, verily I will be avenged of you, and afterwards I will cease.
| وَضَرَبَهُمْ سَاقًا عَلَى فَخْذٍ ضَرْبًا عَظِيمًا. ثُمَّ نَزَلَ وَأَقَامَ فِي شَقِّ صَخْرَةِ عِيطَمَ. | ٨ 8 |
And he struck them leg on thigh [with] a great overthrow; and went down and lived in a cave of the rock Etam.
| وَصَعِدَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي يَهُوذَا وَتَفَرَّقُوا فِي لَحْيٍ. | ٩ 9 |
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Juda, and spread themselves abroad in Lechi.
| فَقَالَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا: «لِمَاذَا صَعِدْتُمْ عَلَيْنَا؟» فَقَالُوا: «صَعِدْنَا لِكَيْ نُوثِقَ شَمْشُونَ لِنَفْعَلَ بِهِ كَمَا فَعَلَ بِنَا». | ١٠ 10 |
And the men of Juda said, Why are you come up against us? and the Philistines said, We are come up to bind Sampson, and to do to him as he has done to us.
| فَنَزَلَ ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ يَهُوذَا إِلَى شَقِّ صَخْرَةِ عِيطَمَ، وَقَالُوا لِشَمْشُونَ: «أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مُتَسَلِّطُونَ عَلَيْنَا؟ فَمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِنَا؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كَمَا فَعَلُوا بِي هَكَذَا فَعَلْتُ بِهِمْ». | ١١ 11 |
And the three thousand men of Juda went down to the hole of the rock Etam, and they said to Sampson, Know you not that the Philistines rule over us? and what [is] this [that] you have done to us? and Sampson said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
| فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «نَزَلْنَا لِكَيْ نُوثِقَكَ وَنُسَلِّمَكَ إِلَى يَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «ٱحْلِفُوا لِي أَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ لَا تَقَعُونَ عَلَيَّ». | ١٢ 12 |
And they said to him, We are come down to bind you to deliver you into the hand of the Philistines: and Sampson said to them, Swear to me that you will not fall upon me yourselves.
| فَكَلَّمُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «كَلَّا. وَلَكِنَّنَا نُوثِقُكَ وَنُسَلِّمُكَ إِلَى يَدِهِمْ، وَقَتْلًا لَا نَقْتُلُكَ». فَأَوْثَقُوهُ بِحَبْلَيْنِ جَدِيدَيْنِ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And they spoke to him, saying, Nay, but we will only bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand, and will by no means kill you: and they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him from that rock.
| وَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى لَحْيٍ، صَاحَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِلِقَائِهِ. فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَكَانَ ٱلْحَبْلَانِ ٱللَّذَانِ عَلَى ذِرَاعَيْهِ كَكَتَّانٍ أُحْرِقَ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَٱنْحَلَّ ٱلْوِثَاقُ عَنْ يَدَيْهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And they came to Lechi: and the Philistines shouted, and ran to meet him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as tow which is burnt with fire; and his bonds were consumed from off his hands.
| وَوَجَدَ لَحْيَ حِمَارٍ طَرِيًّا، فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَهُ وَضَرَبَ بِهِ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
And he found the jaw-bone of an ass that had been cast away, and he put forth his hand and took it, and struck with it a thousand men.
| فَقَالَ شَمْشُونُ: «بِلَحْيِ حِمَارٍ كُومَةً كُومَتَيْنِ. بِلَحْيِ حِمَارٍ قَتَلْتُ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ». | ١٦ 16 |
And Sampson said, With the jaw-bone of an ass I have utterly destroyed them, for with the jaw-bone of an ass I have struck a thousand men.
| وَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ ٱلْكَلَامِ رَمَى ٱللَّحْيِ مِنْ يَدِهِ، وَدَعَا ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانَ «رَمَتَ لَحْيٍ». | ١٧ 17 |
And it came to pass when he ceased speaking, that he cast the jaw-bone out of his hand; and he called that place the Lifting of the jaw-bone.
| ثُمَّ عَطِشَ جِدًّا فَدَعَا ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّكَ قَدْ جَعَلْتَ بِيَدِ عَبْدِكَ هَذَا ٱلْخَلَاصَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ، وَٱلْآنَ أَمُوتُ مِنَ ٱلْعَطَشِ وَأَسْقُطُ بِيَدِ ٱلْغُلْفِ». | ١٨ 18 |
And he was very thirsty, and wept before the Lord, and said, You have been well pleased to grant this great deliverance by the hand of your servant, and new shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
| فَشَقَّ ٱللهُ ٱلْكِفَّةَ ٱلَّتِي فِي لَحْيِ، فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءٌ، فَشَرِبَ وَرَجَعَتْ رُوحُهُ فَٱنْتَعَشَ. لِذَلِكَ دَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «عَيْنَ هَقُّورِي» ٱلَّتِي فِي لَحْيٍ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And God broke open a hollow place in the jaw, and there came thence water, and he drank; and his spirit returned and he revived: therefore the name of the fountain was called 'The well of the invoker,' which is in Lechi, until this day.
| وَقَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. | ٢٠ 20 |
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
