SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 فهؤلاء هم الامم الذين تركهم الرب ليمتحن بهم اسرائيل كل الذين لم يعرفوا جميع حروب كنعان	1 These are the nations which the Lord left, that by them he might instruct Israel, and all that had not known the wars of the Chanaanites:
2 انما لمعرفة اجيال بني اسرائيل لتعليمهم الحرب. الذين لم يعرفوها قبل فقط.	2 That afterwards their children might learn to fight with their enemies, and to be trained up to war:
3 اقطاب الفلسطينيين الخمسة وجميع الكنعانيين والصيدونيين والحوّيين سكان جبل لبنان من جبل بعل حرمون الى مدخل حماة.	3 The five princes of the Philistines, and all the Chanaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hevites that dwelt in mount Libanus, from mount Baal Hermon to the entering into Emath.
4 كانوا لامتحان اسرائيل بهم لكي يعلم هل يسمعون وصايا الرب التي اوصى بها آباءهم عن يد موسى	4 And he left them, that he might try Israel by them, whether they would hear the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses, or not.
5 فسكن بنو اسرائيل في وسط الكنعانيين والحثّيين والاموريين والفرزّيين والحوّيين واليبوسيين.	5 So the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite:
6 واتخذوا بناتهم لانفسهم نساء واعطوا بناتهم لبنيهم وعبدوا آلهتهم.	6 And they took their daughters to wives, and they gave their own daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.
7 فعمل بنو اسرائيل الشر في عيني الرب ونسوا الرب الههم وعبدوا البعليم والسواري.	7 And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, and served Baalim and Astaroth.
8 فحمي غضب الرب على اسرائيل فباعهم بيد كوشان رشعتايم ملك ارام النهرين. فعبد بنو اسرائيل كوشان رشعتايم ثماني سنين.	8 And the Lord being angry with Israel, delivered them into the hands of Chusan Rasathaim king of Mesopotamia, and they served him eight years.
9 وصرخ بنو اسرائيل الى الرب فاقام الرب مخلّصا لبني اسرائيل فخلصهم. عثنيئيل بن قناز اخا كالب الاصغر.	9 And they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour, and delivered them, to wit, Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb:
10 فكان عليه روح الرب وقضى لاسرائيل وخرج للحرب فدفع الرب ليده كوشان رشعتايم ملك ارام واعتزت يده على كوشان رشعتايم.	10 And the spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered into his hands Chusan Rasathaim king of Syria, and he overthrew him.
11 واستراحت الارض اربعين سنة. ومات عثنيئيل بن قناز	11 And the land rested forty years, and Othoniel the son of Cenez died.
12 وعاد بنو اسرائيل يعملون الشر في عيني الرب فشدد الرب عجلون ملك موآب على اسرائيل لانهم عملوا الشر في عيني الرب.	12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: who strengthened against them Eglon king of Moab: because they did evil in his sight.
13 فجمع اليه بني عمون وعماليق وسار وضرب اسرائيل وامتلكوا مدينة النخل.	13 And he joined to him the children of Ammon, and Amalec: and he went and overthrew Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
14 فعبد بنو اسرائيل عجلون ملك موآب ثماني عشرة سنة.	14 And the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years:
15 وصرخ بنو اسرائيل الى الرب فاقام لهم الرب مخلّصا اهود بن جيرا البنياميني رجلا اعسر. فارسل بنو اسرائيل بيده هدية لعجلون ملك موآب.	15 And afterwards they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour called Aod, the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, who used the left hand as well as the right. And the children of Israel sent presents to Eglon king of Moab by him.
16 فعمل اهود لنفسه سيفا ذا حدين طوله ذراع وتقلده تحت ثيابه على فخذه اليمنى.	16 And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith under his garment on the right thigh.
17 وقدم الهدية لعجلون ملك موآب. وكان عجلون رجلا سمينا جدا.	17 And he presented the gifts to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was exceeding fat.
18 وكان لما انتهى من تقديم الهدية صرف القوم حاملي الهدية	18 And when he had presented the gifts unto him, he followed his companions that came along with him.
19 واما هو فرجع من عند المنحوتات التي لدى الجلجال وقال. لي كلام سرّ اليك ايها الملك. فقال صه. وخرج من عنده جميع الواقفين لديه.	19 Then returning from Galgal, where the idols were, be said to the king: I have a secret message to thee, O king. And he commanded silence: and all being gone out that were about him,
20 فدخل اليه اهود وهو جالس في علية برود كانت له وحده. وقال اهود. عندي كلام الله اليك. فقام عن الكرسي.	20 Aod went in to him: now he was sitting in a summer parlour alone, and he said: I have a word from God to thee. And he forthwith rose up from his throne,
21 فمدّ اهود يده اليسرى واخذ السيف عن فخذه اليمنى وضربه في بطنه.	21 And Aod put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly,
22 فدخل القائم ايضا وراء النصل وطبق الشحم وراء النصل لانه لم يجذب السيف من بطنه. وخرج من الحتار.	22 With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in his body as he had struck it in. And forthwith by the secret parts of nature the excrements of the belly came out.
23 فخرج اهود من الرواق واغلق ابواب العلية وراءه واقفلها.	23 But Aod carefully shutting the doors of the parlour and locking them,
24 ولما خرج جاء عبيده ونظروا واذا ابواب العلية مقفلة فقالوا انه مغط رجليه في مخدع البرود.	24 Went out by a postern door. And the king's servants going in, saw the doors of the parlour shut, and they said: Perhaps he is easing nature in his summer parlour.
25 فلبثوا حتى خجلوا واذا هو لا يفتح ابواب العلية فاخذوا المفتاح وفتحوا واذا سيدهم ساقط على الارض ميتا.	25 And waiting a long time till they were ashamed, and seeing that no man opened the door, they took a key: and opening, they found their lord lying dead on the ground.
26 واما اهود فنجا اذ هم مبهوتون وعبر المنحوتات ونجا الى سعيرة.	26 But Aod, while they were in confusion, escaped, and passed by the place of the idols, from whence he had returned. And he came to Seirath:
27 وكان عند مجيئه انه ضرب بالبوق في جبل افرايم فنزل معه بنو اسرائيل عن الجبل وهو قدامهم.	27 And forthwith he sounded the trumpet in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel went down with him, he himself going in the front.
28 وقال لهم اتبعوني لان الرب قد دفع اعداءكم الموآبيين ليدكم فنزلوا وراءه واخذوا مخاوض الاردن الى موآب ولم يدعوا احدا يعبر.	28 And he said to them: Follow me: for the Lord hath delivered our enemies the Moabites into our hands. And they went down after him, and seized upon the fords of the Jordan, which are in the way to Moab: and they suffered no man to pass over.
29 فضربوا من موآب في ذلك الوقت نحو عشرة آلاف رجل كل نشيط وكل ذي بأس ولم ينج احد.	29 But they slew of the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and Valiant men: none of them could escape.
30 فذلّ الموآبيون في ذلك اليوم تحت يد اسرائيل. واستراحت الارض ثمانين سنة	30 And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel: and the land rested eighty years.
31 وكان بعده شمجر بن عناة فضرب من الفلسطينيين ست مئة رجل بمنساس البقر وهو ايضا خلص اسرائيل	31 After him was Samgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with a ploughshare: and he also defended Israel.
