¹Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

¹فهؤلاء هم الامم الذين تركهم الرب ليمتحن بهم اسرائيل كل الذين لم يعرفوا جميع حروب كنعان

²Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;

²انما لمعرفة اجيال بني اسرائيل لتعليمهم الحرب. الذين لم يعرفوها قبل فقط.

³Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.

³اقطاب الفلسطينيين الخمسة وجميع الكنعانيين والصيدونيين والحوّيين سكان جبل لبنان من جبل بعل حرمون الى مدخل حماة.

⁴And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

⁴كانوا لامتحان اسرائيل بهم لكي يعلم هل يسمعون وصايا الرب التي اوصى بها آباءهم عن يد موسى

⁵And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

⁵فسكن بنو اسرائيل في وسط الكنعانيين والحثّيين والاموريين والفرزّيين والحوّيين واليبوسيين.

⁶And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

⁶واتخذوا بناتهم لانفسهم نساء واعطوا بناتهم لبنيهم وعبدوا آلهتهم.

⁷And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

⁷فعمل بنو اسرائيل الشر في عيني الرب ونسوا الرب الههم وعبدوا البعليم والسواري.

⁸Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.

⁸فحمي غضب الرب على اسرائيل فباعهم بيد كوشان رشعتايم ملك ارام النهرين. فعبد بنو اسرائيل كوشان رشعتايم ثماني سنين.

⁹And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

⁹وصرخ بنو اسرائيل الى الرب فاقام الرب مخلّصا لبني اسرائيل فخلصهم. عثنيئيل بن قناز اخا كالب الاصغر.

¹⁰And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.

¹⁰فكان عليه روح الرب وقضى لاسرائيل وخرج للحرب فدفع الرب ليده كوشان رشعتايم ملك ارام واعتزت يده على كوشان رشعتايم.

¹¹And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

¹¹واستراحت الارض اربعين سنة. ومات عثنيئيل بن قناز

¹²And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

¹²وعاد بنو اسرائيل يعملون الشر في عيني الرب فشدد الرب عجلون ملك موآب على اسرائيل لانهم عملوا الشر في عيني الرب.

¹³And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

¹³فجمع اليه بني عمون وعماليق وسار وضرب اسرائيل وامتلكوا مدينة النخل.

¹⁴So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

¹⁴فعبد بنو اسرائيل عجلون ملك موآب ثماني عشرة سنة.

¹⁵But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

¹⁵وصرخ بنو اسرائيل الى الرب فاقام لهم الرب مخلّصا اهود بن جيرا البنياميني رجلا اعسر. فارسل بنو اسرائيل بيده هدية لعجلون ملك موآب.

¹⁶But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

¹⁶فعمل اهود لنفسه سيفا ذا حدين طوله ذراع وتقلده تحت ثيابه على فخذه اليمنى.

¹⁷And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

¹⁷وقدم الهدية لعجلون ملك موآب. وكان عجلون رجلا سمينا جدا.

¹⁸And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.

¹⁸وكان لما انتهى من تقديم الهدية صرف القوم حاملي الهدية

¹⁹But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

¹⁹واما هو فرجع من عند المنحوتات التي لدى الجلجال وقال. لي كلام سرّ اليك ايها الملك. فقال صه. وخرج من عنده جميع الواقفين لديه.

²⁰And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlor, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

²⁰فدخل اليه اهود وهو جالس في علية برود كانت له وحده. وقال اهود. عندي كلام الله اليك. فقام عن الكرسي.

²¹And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

²¹فمدّ اهود يده اليسرى واخذ السيف عن فخذه اليمنى وضربه في بطنه.

²²And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

²²فدخل القائم ايضا وراء النصل وطبق الشحم وراء النصل لانه لم يجذب السيف من بطنه. وخرج من الحتار.

²³Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor upon him, and locked them.

²³فخرج اهود من الرواق واغلق ابواب العلية وراءه واقفلها.

²⁴When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlor were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.

²⁴ولما خرج جاء عبيده ونظروا واذا ابواب العلية مقفلة فقالوا انه مغط رجليه في مخدع البرود.

²⁵And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlor; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

²⁵فلبثوا حتى خجلوا واذا هو لا يفتح ابواب العلية فاخذوا المفتاح وفتحوا واذا سيدهم ساقط على الارض ميتا.

²⁶And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.

²⁶واما اهود فنجا اذ هم مبهوتون وعبر المنحوتات ونجا الى سعيرة.

²⁷And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.

²⁷وكان عند مجيئه انه ضرب بالبوق في جبل افرايم فنزل معه بنو اسرائيل عن الجبل وهو قدامهم.

²⁸And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.

²⁸وقال لهم اتبعوني لان الرب قد دفع اعداءكم الموآبيين ليدكم فنزلوا وراءه واخذوا مخاوض الاردن الى موآب ولم يدعوا احدا يعبر.

²⁹And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor; and there escaped not a man.

²⁹فضربوا من موآب في ذلك الوقت نحو عشرة آلاف رجل كل نشيط وكل ذي بأس ولم ينج احد.

³⁰So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

³⁰فذلّ الموآبيون في ذلك اليوم تحت يد اسرائيل. واستراحت الارض ثمانين سنة

³¹And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.

³¹وكان بعده شمجر بن عناة فضرب من الفلسطينيين ست مئة رجل بمنساس البقر وهو ايضا خلص اسرائيل
