Judges 3

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
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:	1 فهؤلاء هم الامم الذين تركهم الرب ليمتحن بهم اسرائيل كل الذين لم يعرفوا جميع حروب كنعان
2 That afterwards their children might learn to fight with their enemies, and to be trained up to war:	2 انما لمعرفة اجيال بني اسرائيل لتعليمهم الحرب. الذين لم يعرفوها قبل فقط.
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.	3 اقطاب الفلسطينيين الخمسة وجميع الكنعانيين والصيدونيين والحوّيين سكان جبل لبنان من جبل بعل حرمون الى مدخل حماة.
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.	4 كانوا لامتحان اسرائيل بهم لكي يعلم هل يسمعون وصايا الرب التي اوصى بها آباءهم عن يد موسى
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:	5 فسكن بنو اسرائيل في وسط الكنعانيين والحثّيين والاموريين والفرزّيين والحوّيين واليبوسيين.
6 And they took their daughters to wives, and they gave their own daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.	6 واتخذوا بناتهم لانفسهم نساء واعطوا بناتهم لبنيهم وعبدوا آلهتهم.
7 And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, and served Baalim and Astaroth.	7 فعمل بنو اسرائيل الشر في عيني الرب ونسوا الرب الههم وعبدوا البعليم والسواري.
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.	8 فحمي غضب الرب على اسرائيل فباعهم بيد كوشان رشعتايم ملك ارام النهرين. فعبد بنو اسرائيل كوشان رشعتايم ثماني سنين.
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:	9 وصرخ بنو اسرائيل الى الرب فاقام الرب مخلّصا لبني اسرائيل فخلصهم. عثنيئيل بن قناز اخا كالب الاصغر.
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.	10 فكان عليه روح الرب وقضى لاسرائيل وخرج للحرب فدفع الرب ليده كوشان رشعتايم ملك ارام واعتزت يده على كوشان رشعتايم.
11 And the land rested forty years, and Othoniel the son of Cenez died.	11 واستراحت الارض اربعين سنة. ومات عثنيئيل بن قناز
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.	12 وعاد بنو اسرائيل يعملون الشر في عيني الرب فشدد الرب عجلون ملك موآب على اسرائيل لانهم عملوا الشر في عيني الرب.
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.	13 فجمع اليه بني عمون وعماليق وسار وضرب اسرائيل وامتلكوا مدينة النخل.
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years:	14 فعبد بنو اسرائيل عجلون ملك موآب ثماني عشرة سنة.
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.	15 وصرخ بنو اسرائيل الى الرب فاقام لهم الرب مخلّصا اهود بن جيرا البنياميني رجلا اعسر. فارسل بنو اسرائيل بيده هدية لعجلون ملك موآب.
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.	16 فعمل اهود لنفسه سيفا ذا حدين طوله ذراع وتقلده تحت ثيابه على فخذه اليمنى.
17 And he presented the gifts to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was exceeding fat.	17 وقدم الهدية لعجلون ملك موآب. وكان عجلون رجلا سمينا جدا.
18 And when he had presented the gifts unto him, he followed his companions that came along with him.	18 وكان لما انتهى من تقديم الهدية صرف القوم حاملي الهدية
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,	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.
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,	20 فدخل اليه اهود وهو جالس في علية برود كانت له وحده. وقال اهود. عندي كلام الله اليك. فقام عن الكرسي.
21 And Aod put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly,	21 فمدّ اهود يده اليسرى واخذ السيف عن فخذه اليمنى وضربه في بطنه.
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.	22 فدخل القائم ايضا وراء النصل وطبق الشحم وراء النصل لانه لم يجذب السيف من بطنه. وخرج من الحتار.
23 But Aod carefully shutting the doors of the parlour and locking them,	23 فخرج اهود من الرواق واغلق ابواب العلية وراءه واقفلها.
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.	24 ولما خرج جاء عبيده ونظروا واذا ابواب العلية مقفلة فقالوا انه مغط رجليه في مخدع البرود.
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.	25 فلبثوا حتى خجلوا واذا هو لا يفتح ابواب العلية فاخذوا المفتاح وفتحوا واذا سيدهم ساقط على الارض ميتا.
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:	26 واما اهود فنجا اذ هم مبهوتون وعبر المنحوتات ونجا الى سعيرة.
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.	27 وكان عند مجيئه انه ضرب بالبوق في جبل افرايم فنزل معه بنو اسرائيل عن الجبل وهو قدامهم.
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.	28 وقال لهم اتبعوني لان الرب قد دفع اعداءكم الموآبيين ليدكم فنزلوا وراءه واخذوا مخاوض الاردن الى موآب ولم يدعوا احدا يعبر.
29 But they slew of the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and Valiant men: none of them could escape.	29 فضربوا من موآب في ذلك الوقت نحو عشرة آلاف رجل كل نشيط وكل ذي بأس ولم ينج احد.
30 And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel: and the land rested eighty years.	30 فذلّ الموآبيون في ذلك اليوم تحت يد اسرائيل. واستراحت الارض ثمانين سنة
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.	31 وكان بعده شمجر بن عناة فضرب من الفلسطينيين ست مئة رجل بمنساس البقر وهو ايضا خلص اسرائيل
