اَلْقُضَاة 4
| وَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ إِهُودَ، | ١ 1 |
After Ehud died, the people of Israel once again did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
| فَبَاعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِيَدِ يَابِينَ مَلِكِ كَنْعَانَ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فِي حَاصُورَ. وَرَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ سِيسَرَا، وَهُوَ سَاكِنٌ فِي حَرُوشَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ. | ٢ 2 |
Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was named Sisera, and he lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.
| فَصَرَخَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ تِسْعُ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَهُوَ ضَايَقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِشِدَّةٍ، عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. | ٣ 3 |
The people of Israel called out to Yahweh for help, because Sisera had nine hundred iron chariots and he oppressed the people of Israel with force for twenty years.
| وَدَبُورَةُ ٱمْرَأَةٌ نَبِيَّةٌ زَوْجَةُ لَفِيدُوتَ، هِيَ قَاضِيَةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ. | ٤ 4 |
Now Deborah, a prophetess (the wife of Lappidoth), was a leading judge in Israel at that time.
| وَهِيَ جَالِسَةٌ تَحْتَ نَخْلَةِ دَبُورَةَ بَيْنَ ٱلرَّامَةِ وَبَيْتِ إِيلَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ. وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِلْقَضَاءِ. | ٥ 5 |
She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the people of Israel came to her to settle their disputes.
| فَأَرْسَلَتْ وَدَعَتْ بَارَاقَ بْنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ مِنْ قَادَشِ نَفْتَالِي، وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «أَلَمْ يَأْمُرِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: اِذْهَبْ وَٱزْحَفْ إِلَى جَبَلِ تَابُورَ، وَخُذْ مَعَكَ عَشْرَةَ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي نَفْتَالِي وَمِنْ بَنِي زَبُولُونَ، | ٦ 6 |
She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali. She said to him, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, commands you, 'Go to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men from Naphtali and Zebulun.
| فَأَجْذُبَ إِلَيْكَ، إِلَى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ سِيسَرَا رَئِيسَ جَيْشِ يَابِينَ بِمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَجُمْهُورِهِ وَأَدْفَعَهُ لِيَدِكَ؟» | ٧ 7 |
I will draw out Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, to meet you by the Kishon River, with his chariots and his army, and I will give you victory over him.'”
| فَقَالَ لَهَا بَارَاقُ: «إِنْ ذَهَبْتِ مَعِي أَذْهَبْ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَذْهَبِي مَعِي فَلَا أَذْهَبُ». | ٨ 8 |
Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go, but if you do not go with me, I will not go.”
| فَقَالَتْ: «إِنِّي أَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ لَكَ فَخْرٌ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ سَائِرٌ فِيهَا. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَبِيعُ سِيسَرَا بِيَدِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ». فَقَامَتْ دَبُورَةُ وَذَهَبَتْ مَعَ بَارَاقَ إِلَى قَادَشَ. | ٩ 9 |
She said, “I will certainly go with you. However, the road on which you are going will not lead to your honor, for Yahweh will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
| وَدَعَا بَارَاقُ زَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِيَ إِلَى قَادَشَ، وَصَعِدَ وَمَعَهُ عَشَرَةُ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ. وَصَعِدَتْ دَبُورَةُ مَعَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Barak called for the men of Zebulun and Naphtali to come together at Kedesh. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah went along with him.
| وَحَابِرُ ٱلْقَيْنِيُّ ٱنْفَرَدَ مِنْ قَايِنَ، مِنْ بَنِي حُوبَابَ حَمِي مُوسَى، وَخَيَّمَ حَتَّى إِلَى بَلُّوطَةٍ فِي صَعَنَايِمَ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ قَادَشَ. | ١١ 11 |
Now Heber (the Kenite) had separated himself from the Kenites—they were the descendants of Hobab (Moses' father-in-law)—and he pitched his tent by the oak in Zaanannim near Kedesh.
| وَأَخْبَرُوا سِيسَرَا بِأَنَّهُ قَدْ صَعِدَ بَارَاقُ بْنُ أَبِينُوعَمَ إِلَى جَبَلِ تَابُورَ. | ١٢ 12 |
When they told Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor,
| فَدَعَا سِيسَرَا جَمِيعَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ، تِسْعَ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَجَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ مِنْ حَرُوشَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ إِلَى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Sisera called out all his chariots, nine hundred iron chariots, and all the soldiers who were with him, from Harosheth Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
| فَقَالَتْ دَبُورَةُ لِبَارَاقَ: «قُمْ، لِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِي دَفَعَ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ سِيسَرَا لِيَدِكَ. أَلَمْ يَخْرُجِ ٱلرَّبُّ قُدَّامَكَ؟» فَنَزَلَ بَارَاقُ مِنْ جَبَلِ تَابُورَ وَوَرَاءَهُ عَشْرَةُ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
Deborah said to Barak, “Go! For this is the day in which Yahweh has given you victory over Sisera. Is not Yahweh leading you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
| فَأَزْعَجَ ٱلرَّبُّ سِيسَرَا وَكُلَّ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَكُلَّ ٱلْجَيْشِ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ أَمَامَ بَارَاقَ. فَنَزَلَ سِيسَرَا عَنِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ وَهَرَبَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Yahweh confused Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword. And Sisera got down from his chariot and ran away on foot.
| وَتَبِعَ بَارَاقُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَٱلْجَيْشَ إِلَى حَرُوشَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ. وَسَقَطَ كُلُّ جَيْشِ سِيسَرَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. لَمْ يَبْقَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ. | ١٦ 16 |
But Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth Haggoyim, and the whole army of Sisera was killed by the edge of the sword, and not a man survived.
| وَأَمَّا سِيسَرَا فَهَرَبَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ يَاعِيلَ ٱمْرَأَةِ حَابِرَ ٱلْقَيْنِيِّ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ صُلْحٌ بَيْنَ يَابِينَ مَلِكِ حَاصُورَ وَبَيْتِ حَابِرَ ٱلْقَيْنِيِّ. | ١٧ 17 |
But Sisera ran away on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the family of Heber the Kenite.
| فَخَرَجَتْ يَاعِيلُ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِ سِيسَرَا وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «مِلْ يَا سَيِّدِي، مِلْ إِلَيَّ. لَا تَخَفْ». فَمَالَ إِلَيْهَا إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَغَطَّتْهُ بِٱللِّحَافِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Turn aside, my master; turn aside to me and do not be afraid.” So he turned aside to her and came into her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «ٱسْقِينِي قَلِيلَ مَاءٍ لِأَنِّي قَدْ عَطِشْتُ». فَفَتَحَتْ وَطَبَ ٱللَّبَنِ وَأَسْقَتْهُ ثُمَّ غَطَّتْهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
He said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” She opened a leather bag of milk and gave him drink, and then she covered him up again.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «قِفِي بِبَابِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ، وَيَكُونُ إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدٌ وَسَأَلَكِ: أَهُنَا رَجُلٌ؟ أَنَّكِ تَقُولِينَ لَا». | ٢٠ 20 |
He said to her, “Stand at the opening of the tent. If someone comes and asks you, 'Is anyone here?', say 'No'.”
| فَأَخَذَتْ يَاعِيلُ ٱمْرَأَةُ حَابِرَ وَتَدَ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَجَعَلَتِ ٱلْمِيتَدَةَ فِي يَدِهَا، وَقَارَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَضَرَبَتِ ٱلْوَتَدَ فِي صُدْغِهِ فَنَفَذَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَهُوَ مُتَثَقِّلٌ فِي ٱلنَّوْمِ وَمُتْعَبٌ، فَمَاتَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Then Jael (the wife of Heber) took a tent peg and a hammer in her hand and went in secretly to him, for he was in a deep sleep, and she hammered the tent peg into the side of his head until it went down into the ground, and he died.
| وَإِذَا بِبَارَاقَ يُطَارِدُ سِيسَرَا، فَخَرَجَتْ يَاعِيلُ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «تَعَالَ فَأُرِيَكَ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ طَالِبُهُ». فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِذَا سِيسَرَا سَاقِطٌ مَيْتًا وَٱلْوَتَدُ فِي صُدْغِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
As Barak was pursuing Sisera, Jael want out to meet him and said to him, “Come, I will show you the man you are looking for.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera dead, with the tent peg in the side of his head.
| فَأَذَلَّ ٱللهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَابِينَ مَلِكَ كَنْعَانَ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So on that day God defeated Jabin, the king of Canaan, before the people of Israel.
| وَأَخَذَتْ يَدُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَتَزَايَدُ وَتَقْسُو عَلَى يَابِينَ مَلِكِ كَنْعَانَ حَتَّى قَرَضُوا يَابِينَ مَلِكَ كَنْعَانَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
The might of the people of Israel grew stronger and stronger against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they destroyed him.
