اَلْقُضَاة 2
| وَصَعِدَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ إِلَى بُوكِيمَ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ أَصْعَدْتُكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَأَتَيْتُ بِكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لِآبَائِكُمْ، وَقُلْتُ: لَا أَنْكُثُ عَهْدِي مَعَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١ 1 |
Yahweh’s angel came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, “I brought you out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to give your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you.
| وَأَنْتُمْ فَلَا تَقْطَعُوا عَهْدًا مَعَ سُكَّانِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٱهْدِمُوا مَذَابِحَهُمْ. وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِي. فَمَاذَا عَمِلْتُمْ؟ | ٢ 2 |
You shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You shall break down their altars.’ But you have not listened to my voice. Why have you done this?
| فَقُلْتُ أَيْضًا: لَا أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، بَلْ يَكُونُونَ لَكُمْ مُضَايِقِينَ، وَتَكُونُ آلِهَتُهُمْ لَكُمْ شَرَكًا». | ٣ 3 |
Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’”
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ رَفَعُوا صَوْتَهُمْ وَبَكَوْا. | ٤ 4 |
When Yahweh’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.
| فَدَعَوْا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «بُوكِيمَ». وَذَبَحُوا هُنَاكَ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
They called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to Yahweh.
| وَصَرَفَ يَشُوعُ ٱلشَّعْبَ، فَذَهَبَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ لِأَجْلِ ٱمْتِلَاكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٦ 6 |
Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel each went to his inheritance to possess the land.
| وَعَبَدَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلرَّبَّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ يَشُوعَ، وَكُلَّ أَيَّامِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَالَتْ أَيَّامُهُمْ بَعْدَ يَشُوعَ ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْا كُلَّ عَمَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ 7 |
The people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh that he had worked for Israel.
| وَمَاتَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱبْنَ مِئَةٍ وَعَشْرَ سِنِينَ. | ٨ 8 |
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred ten years old.
| فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي تُخْمِ مُلْكِهِ فِي تِمْنَةَ حَارَسَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، شِمَالِيَّ جَبَلِ جَاعَشَ. | ٩ 9 |
They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
| وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْجِيلِ أَيْضًا ٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى آبَائِهِ، وَقَامَ بَعْدَهُمْ جِيلٌ آخَرُ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَلَا ٱلْعَمَلَ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ 10 |
After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who didn’t know Yahweh, nor the work which he had done for Israel.
| وَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ. | ١١ 11 |
The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and served the Baals.
| وَتَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمِ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَسَارُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ آلِهَةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُمْ، وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا وَأَغَاظُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. | ١٢ 12 |
They abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked Yahweh to anger.
| تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلَ وَعَشْتَارُوثَ. | ١٣ 13 |
They abandoned Yahweh, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
| فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَدَفَعَهُمْ بِأَيْدِي نَاهِبِينَ نَهَبُوهُمْ، وَبَاعَهُمْ بِيَدِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ حَوْلَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا بَعْدُ عَلَى ٱلْوُقُوفِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.
| حَيْثُمَا خَرَجُوا كَانَتْ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلشَّرِّ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَكَمَا أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ. فَضَاقَ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَمْرُ جِدًّا. | ١٥ 15 |
Wherever they went out, Yahweh’s hand was against them for evil, as Yahweh had spoken, and as Yahweh had sworn to them; and they were very distressed.
| وَأَقَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ قُضَاةً فَخَلَّصُوهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ نَاهِبِيهِمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them.
| وَلِقُضَاتِهِمْ أَيْضًا لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، بَلْ زَنَوْا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا. حَادُوا سَرِيعًا عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي سَارَ بِهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ لِسَمْعِ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ، لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا هَكَذَا. | ١٧ 17 |
Yet they didn’t listen to their judges; for they prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They quickly turned away from the way in which their fathers walked, obeying Yahweh’s commandments. They didn’t do so.
| وَحِينَمَا أَقَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ قُضَاةً، كَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ ٱلْقَاضِي، وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ ٱلْقَاضِي، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ نَدِمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِينِهِمْ بِسَبَبِ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ وَزَاحِمِيهِمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
When Yahweh raised up judges for them, then Yahweh was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it grieved Yahweh because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them.
| وَعِنْدَ مَوْتِ ٱلْقَاضِي كَانُوا يَرْجِعُونَ وَيَفْسُدُونَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ، بِٱلذَّهَابِ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِيَعْبُدُوهَا وَيَسْجُدُوا لَهَا. لَمْ يَكُفُّوا عَنْ أَفْعَالِهِمْ وَطَرِيقِهِمْ ٱلْقَاسِيَةِ. | ١٩ 19 |
But when the judge was dead, they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. They didn’t cease what they were doing, or give up their stubborn ways.
| فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ قَدْ تَعَدَّوْا عَهْدِيَ ٱلَّذِي أَوْصَيْتُ بِهِ آبَاءَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِي، | ٢٠ 20 |
Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice,
| فَأَنَا أَيْضًا لَا أَعُودُ أَطْرُدُ إِنْسَانًا مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكَهُمْ يَشُوعُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ | ٢١ 21 |
I also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them;
| لِكَيْ أَمْتَحِنَ بِهِمْ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَيَحْفَظُونَ طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَسْلُكُوا بِهَا كَمَا حَفِظَهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ، أَمْ لَا». | ٢٢ 22 |
that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep Yahweh’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.”
| فَتَرَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْأُمَمَ وَلَمْ يَطْرُدْهُمْ سَرِيعًا وَلَمْ يَدْفَعْهُمْ بِيَدِ يَشُوعَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand.
