SMITH VAN DYKEKING JAMES BIBLE
1 وفي تلك الايام لم يكن ملك في اسرائيل. وفي تلك الايام كان سبط الدانيين يطلب له ملكا للسكنى. لانه الى ذلك اليوم لم يقع له نصيب في وسط اسباط اسرائيل.1 In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
2 فارسل بنو دان من عشيرتهم خمسة رجال منهم رجالا بني بأس من صرعة ومن اشتأول لتجسس الارض وفحصها. وقالوا لهم اذهبوا افحصوا الارض. فجاءوا الى جبل افرايم الى بيت ميخا وباتوا هناك.2 And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
3 وبينما هم عند بيت ميخا عرفوا صوت الغلام اللاوي فمالوا الى هناك وقالوا له. من جاء بك الى هنا وماذا انت عامل في هذا المكان ومالك هنا.3 When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?
4 فقال لهم كذا وكذا عمل لي ميخا وقد استأجرني فصرت له كاهنا.4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.
5 فقالوا له اسأل اذن من الله لنعلم هل ينجح طريقنا الذي نحن سائرون فيه.5 And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
6 فقال لهم الكاهن اذهبوا بسلام. امام الرب طريقكم الذي تسيرون فيه6 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.
7 فذهب الخمسة الرجال وجاءوا الى لايش ورأوا الشعب الذين فيها ساكنين بطمانينة كعادة الصيدونيين مستريحين مطمئنين وليس في الارض مؤذ بأمر وارث رياسة وهم بعيدون عن الصيدونيين وليس لهم امر مع انسان.7 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.
8 وجاءوا الى اخوتهم الى صرعة واشتأول فقال لهم اخوتهم ما انتم.8 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?
9 فقالوا قوموا نصعد اليهم لاننا رأينا الارض وهوذا هي جيدة جدا وانتم ساكتون. لا تتكاسلوا عن الذهاب لتدخلوا وتملكوا الارض.9 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.
10 عند مجيئكم تاتون الى شعب مطمئن والارض واسعة الطرفين. ان الله قد دفعها ليدكم. مكان ليس فيه عوز لشيء مما في الارض10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth.
11 فارتحل من هناك من عشيرة الدانيين من صرعة ومن اشتأول ست مئة رجل متسلحين بعدة الحرب.11 And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.
12 وصعدوا وحلّوا في قرية يعاريم في يهوذا. لذلك دعوا ذلك المكان محلّة دان الى هذا اليوم. هوذا هي وراء قرية يعاريم.12 And they went up, and pitched in Kirjath-jearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearim.
13 وعبروا من هناك الى جبل افرايم وجاءوا الى بيت ميخا.13 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
14 فاجاب الخمسة الرجال الذين ذهبوا لتجسّس ارض لايش وقالوا لاخوتهم أتعلمون ان في هذه البيوت افودا وترافيم وتمثالا منحوتا وتمثالا مسبوكا. فالآن اعلموا ما تفعلون.14 Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.
15 فمالوا الى هناك وجاءوا الى بيت الغلام اللاوي بيت ميخا وسلموا عليه.15 And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
16 والست مئة الرجل المتسلحون بعدتهم للحرب واقفون عند مدخل الباب. هؤلاء من بني دان.16 And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
17 فصعد الخمسة الرجال الذين ذهبوا لتجسّس الارض ودخلوا الى هناك واخذوا التمثال المنحوت والافود والترافيم والتمثال المسبوك. والكاهن واقف عند مدخل الباب مع الست مئة الرجل المتسلحين بعدة الحرب.17 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.
18 وهؤلاء دخلوا بيت ميخا وأخذوا التمثال المنحوت والافود والترافيم والتمثال المسبوك. فقال لهم الكاهن ماذا تفعلون.18 And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?
19 فقالوا له اخرس. ضع يدك على فمك واذهب معنا وكن لنا ابا وكاهنا. أهو خير لك ان تكون كاهنا لبيت رجل واحد ام ان تكون كاهنا لسبط ولعشيرة في اسرائيل.19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
20 فطاب قلب الكاهن واخذ الافود والترافيم والتمثال المنحوت ودخل في وسط الشعب.20 And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
21 ثم انصرفوا وذهبوا ووضعوا الاطفال والماشية والثقل قدامهم.21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.
22 ولما ابتعدوا عن بيت ميخا اجتمع الرجال الذين في البيوت التي عند بيت ميخا وادركوا بني دان22 And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
23 وصاحوا الى بني دان فالتفتوا وقالوا لميخا ما لك صرخت.23 And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
24 فقال. آلهتي التي عملت قد اخذتموها مع الكاهن وذهبتم فماذا لي بعد. وما هذا تقولون لي مالك.24 And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?
25 فقال له بنو دان لا تسمّع صوتك بيننا لئلا يقع بكم رجال انفسهم مرّة فتنزع نفسك وانفس بيتك.25 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.
26 وسار بنو دان في طريقهم. ولما رأى ميخا انهم اشدّ منه انصرف ورجع الى بيته26 And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
27 واما هم فأخذوا ما صنع ميخا والكاهن الذي كان له وجاءوا الى لايش الى شعب مستريح مطمئن وضربوهم بحد السيف واحرقوا المدينة بالنار.27 And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
28 ولم يكن من ينقذ لانها بعيدة عن صيدون ولم يكن لهم امر مع انسان وهي في الوادي الذي لبيت رحوب. فبنوا المدينة وسكنوا بها.28 And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
29 ودعوا اسم المدينة دان باسم دان ابيهم الذي ولد لاسرائيل. ولكن اسم المدينة اولا لايش.29 And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.
30 واقام بنو دان لانفسهم التمثال المنحوت وكان يهوناثان ابن جرشوم بن منسّى هو وبنوه كهنة لسبط الدانيين الى يوم سبي الارض.30 And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
31 ووضعوا لانفسهم تمثال ميخا المنحوت الذي عمله كل الايام التي كان فيها بيت الله في شيلوه31 And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
