Giudici (قضاة) 2

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 وصعد ملاك الرب من الجلجال الى بوكيم وقال. قد اصعدتكم من مصر وأتيت بكم الى الارض التي اقسمت لآبائكم وقلت لا انكث عهدي معكم الى الابد.	1 And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the place of weepers, and said: I made you go out of Egypt, and have brought you into the land for which I swore to your fathers: and I promised that I would not make void my covenant with you for ever:
2 وانتم فلا تقطعوا عهدا مع سكان هذه الارض. اهدموا مذابحهم. ولم تسمعوا لصوتي. فماذا عملتم.	2 On condition that you should not make a league with the inhabitants of this land, but should throw down their altars: and you would not hear my voice: why have you done this?
3 فقلت ايضا لا اطردهم من امامكم بل يكونون لكم مضايقين وتكون آلهتهم لكم شركا.	3 Wherefore I would not destroy them from before your face: that you may have enemies, and their gods may be your ruin.
4 وكان لما تكلم ملاك الرب بهذا الكلام الى جميع بني اسرائيل ان الشعب رفعوا صوتهم وبكوا.	4 And when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 فدعوا اسم ذلك المكان بوكيم. وذبحوا هناك للرب	5 And the name of that place was called, The place of weepers, or of tears: and there they offered sacrifices to the Lord.
6 وصرف يشوع الشعب فذهب بنو اسرائيل كل واحد الى ملكه لاجل امتلاك الارض.	6 And Josue sent away the people, and the children of Israel went every one to his own possession to hold it:
7 وعبد الشعب الرب كل ايام يشوع وكل ايام الشيوخ الذين طالت ايامهم بعد يشوع الذين رأوا كل عمل الرب العظيم الذي عمل لاسرائيل.	7 And they served the Lord all his days, and the days of the ancients, that lived a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
8 ومات يشوع بن نون عبد الرب ابن مئة وعشر سنين.	8 And Josue the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being a hundred and ten years old,
9 فدفنوه في تخم ملكه في تمنة حارس في جبل افرايم شمالي جبل جاعش.	9 And they buried him in the borders of his possession in Thamnathsare in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount Gaas.
10 وكل ذلك الجيل ايضا انضم الى آبائه وقام بعدهم جيل آخر لم يعرف الرب ولا العمل الذي عمل لاسرائيل	10 And all that generation was gathered to their fathers: and there arose others that knew not the Lord, and the works which he had done for Israel.
11 وفعل بنو اسرائيل الشر في عيني الرب وعبدوا البعليم	11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served Baalim.
12 وتركوا الرب اله آبائهم الذي اخرجهم من ارض مصر وساروا وراء آلهة اخرى من آلهة الشعوب الذين حولهم وسجدوا لها واغاظوا الرب.	12 And they left the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt: and they followed strange gods, and the gods of the people that dwelt round about them, and they adored them: and they provoked the Lord to anger.
13 تركوا الرب وعبدوا البعل وعشتاروث.	13 Forsaking him, and serving Baal and Astaroth.
14 فحمي غضب الرب على اسرائيل فدفعهم بايدي ناهبين نهبوهم وباعهم بيد اعدائهم حولهم ولم يقدروا بعد على الوقوف امام اعدائهم.	14 And the Lord being angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers: who took them and sold them to their enemies, that dwelt round about: neither could they stand against their enemies:
15 حيثما خرجوا كانت يد الرب عليهم للشر كما تكلم الرب وكما اقسم الرب لهم. فضاق بهم الامر جدا.	15 But whithersoever they meant to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, as he had said, and as he had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 واقام الرب قضاة فخلصوهم من يد ناهبيهم.	16 And the Lord raised up judges, to deliver them from the hands of those that oppressed them: but they would not hearken to them,
17 ولقضاتهم ايضا لم يسمعوا بل زنوا وراء آلهة اخرى وسجدوا لها. حادوا سريعا عن الطريق التي سار بها آباؤهم لسمع وصايا الرب. لم يفعلوا هكذا.	17 Committing fornication with strange gods, and adoring them. They quickly forsook the way, in which their fathers had walked: and hearing the commandments of the Lord, they did all things contrary.
18 وحينما اقام الرب لهم قضاة كان الرب مع القاضي وخلّصهم من يد اعدائهم كل ايام القاضي. لان الرب ندم من اجل انينهم بسبب مضايقيهم وزاحميهم.	18 And when the Lord raised them up judges, in their days he was moved to mercy, and heard the groanings of the afflicted, and delivered them from the slaughter of the oppressors.
19 وعند موت القاضي كانوا يرجعون ويفسدون اكثر من آبائهم بالذهاب وراء آلهة اخرى ليعبدوها ويسجدوا لها. لم يكفّوا عن افعالهم وطريقهم القاسية.	19 But after the judge was dead, they returned, and did much worse things than their fathers had done, following strange gods, serving them and adoring them. They left not their own inventions, and the stubborn way, by which they were accustomed to walk.
20 فحمي غضب الرب على اسرائيل وقال من اجل ان هذا الشعب قد تعدّوا عهدي الذي اوصيت به آباءهم ولم يسمعوا لصوتي	20 And the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he said: Behold this nation hath made void my covenant, which I had made with their fathers, and hath despised to hearken to my voice:
21 فانا ايضا لا اعود اطرد انسانا من امامهم من الامم الذين تركهم يشوع عند موته	21 I also will not destroy the nations which Josue left, when he died:
22 لكي امتحن بهم اسرائيل أيحفظون طريق الرب ليسلكوا بها كما حفظها آباؤهم ام لا.	22 That through them I may try Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.
23 فترك الرب اولئك الامم ولم يطردهم سريعا ولم يدفعهم بيد يشوع	23 dummy verses inserted by amos
