< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 10 >

فَأَخَذَ صَمُوئِيلُ قِنِّينَةَ ٱلدُّهْنِ وَصَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَقَبَّلَهُ وَقَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ مَسَحَكَ عَلَى مِيرَاثِهِ رَئِيسًا؟ ١ 1
Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
فِي ذَهَابِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنْ عِنْدِي تُصَادِفُ رَجُلَيْنِ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ رَاحِيلَ، فِي تُخْمِ بَنْيَامِينَ فِي صَلْصَحَ، فَيَقُولَانِ لَكَ: قَدْ وُجِدَتِ ٱلْأُتُنُ، ٱلَّتِي ذَهَبْتَ تُفَتِّشُ عَلَيْهَا، وَهُوَذَا أَبُوكَ قَدْ تَرَكَ أَمْرَ ٱلْأُتُنِ وَٱهْتَمَّ بِكُمَا قَائِلًا: مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ لِٱبْنِي؟ ٢ 2
When thou hast departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel’s sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to thee, The donkeys which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath stopped caring for the donkeys, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
وَتَعْدُو مِنْ هُنَاكَ ذَاهِبًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ إِلَى بَلُّوطَةِ تَابُورَ، فَيُصَادِفُكَ هُنَاكَ ثَلَاثَةُ رِجَالٍ صَاعِدُونَ إِلَى ٱللهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلٍ، وَاحِدٌ حَامِلٌ ثَلَاثَةَ جِدَاءٍ، وَوَاحِدٌ حَامِلٌ ثَلَاثَةَ أَرْغِفَةِ خُبْزٍ، وَوَاحِدٌ حَامِلٌ زِقَّ خَمْرٍ. ٣ 3
Then shalt thou go on forward from there, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
فَيُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْكَ وَيُعْطُونَكَ رَغِيفَيْ خُبْزٍ، فَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ يَدِهِمْ. ٤ 4
And they will greet thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive from their hands.
بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَأْتِي إِلَى جِبْعَةِ ٱللهِ حَيْثُ أَنْصَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ مَجِيئِكَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ أَنَّكَ تُصَادِفُ زُمْرَةً مِنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ نَازِلِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةِ وَأَمَامَهُمْ رَبَابٌ وَدُفٌّ وَنَايٌ وَعُودٌ وَهُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ. ٥ 5
After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou hast come there to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:
فَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْكَ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَتَتَنَبَّأُ مَعَهُمْ وَتَتَحَوَّلُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ آخَرَ. ٦ 6
And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
وَإِذَا أَتَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْآيَاتُ عَلَيْكَ، فَٱفْعَلْ مَا وَجَدَتْهُ يَدُكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ مَعَكَ. ٧ 7
And let it be, when these signs have come to thee, that thou do as occasion shall serve thee; for God is with thee.
وَتَنْزِلُ قُدَّامِي إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، وَهُوَذَا أَنَا أَنْزِلُ إِلَيْكَ لِأُصْعِدَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَأَذْبَحَ ذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ. سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَلْبَثُ حَتَّى آتِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَأُعَلِّمَكَ مَاذَا تَفْعَلُ». ٨ 8
And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down to thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shalt do.
وَكَانَ عِنْدَمَا أَدَارَ كَتِفَهُ لِكَيْ يَذْهَبَ مِنْ عِنْدِ صَمُوئِيلَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ أَعْطَاهُ قَلْبًا آخَرَ، وَأَتَتْ جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْآيَاتِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٩ 9
And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
وَلَمَّا جَاءُوا إِلَى هُنَاكَ إِلَى جِبْعَةَ، إِذَا بِزُمْرَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ لَقِيَتْهُ، فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱللهِ فَتَنَبَّأَ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ. ١٠ 10
And when they came there to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
وَلَمَّا رَآهُ جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ عَرَفُوهُ مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ أَنَّهُ يَتَنَبَّأُ مَعَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، قَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ، ٱلْوَاحِدُ لِصَاحِبِهِ: «مَاذَا صَارَ لِٱبْنِ قَيْسٍ؟ أَشَاوُلُ أَيْضًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ؟» ١١ 11
And it came to pass, when all that knew him in times past saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that hath come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
فَأَجَابَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَقَالَ: «وَمَنْ هُوَ أَبُوهُمْ؟». وَلِذَلِكَ ذَهَبَ مَثَلًا: «أَشَاوُلُ أَيْضًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ؟». ١٢ 12
And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى مِنَ ٱلتَّنَبِّي جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةِ. ١٣ 13
And when he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
فَقَالَ عَمُّ شَاوُلَ لَهُ وَلِغُلَامِهِ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ ذَهَبْتُمَا؟» فَقَالَ: «لِكَيْ نُفَتِّشَ عَلَى ٱلْأُتُنِ. وَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَا أَنَّهَا لَمْ تُوجَدْ جِئْنَا إِلَى صَمُوئِيلَ». ١٤ 14
And Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, Where went ye? And he said, To seek the donkeys: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel.
فَقَالَ عَمُّ شَاوُلَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي مَاذَا قَالَ لَكُمَا صَمُوئِيلُ؟». ١٥ 15
And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِعَمِّهِ: «أَخْبَرَنَا بِأَنَّ ٱلْأُتُنَ قَدْ وُجِدَتْ». وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْبِرْهُ بِأَمْرِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ صَمُوئِيلُ. ١٦ 16
And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he told him not.
وَٱسْتَدْعَى صَمُوئِيلُ ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ، ١٧ 17
And Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpeh;
وَقَالَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنِّي أَصْعَدْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَأَنْقَذْتُكُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَمِنْ يَدِ جَمِيعِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ ٱلَّتِي ضَايَقَتْكُمْ. ١٨ 18
And said to the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ رَفَضْتُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِلَهَكُمُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مُخَلِّصُكُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسِيئُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَيُضَايِقُونَكُمْ، وَقُلْتُمْ لَهُ: بَلْ تَجْعَلُ عَلَيْنَا مَلِكًا. فَٱلْآنَ ٱمْثُلُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ وَأُلُوفِكُمْ». ١٩ 19
And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said to him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
فَقَدَّمَ صَمُوئِيلُ جَمِيعَ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأُخِذَ سِبْطُ بَنْيَامِينَ. ٢٠ 20
And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ سِبْطَ بَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِ، فَأُخِذَتْ عَشِيرَةُ مَطْرِي، وَأُخِذَ شَاوُلُ بْنُ قَيْسَ. فَفَتَّشُوا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ. ٢١ 21
When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
فَسَأَلُوا أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ: «هَلْ يَأْتِي ٱلرَّجُلُ أَيْضًا إِلَى هُنَا؟» فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هُوَذَا قَدِ ٱخْتَبَأَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَمْتِعَةِ». ٢٢ 22
Therefore they enquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come there. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage.
فَرَكَضُوا وَأَخَذُوهُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، فَوَقَفَ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، فَكَانَ أَطْوَلَ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنْ كَتِفِهِ فَمَا فَوْقُ. ٢٣ 23
And they ran and brought him from there: and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «أَرَأَيْتُمُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِثْلُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ؟» فَهَتَفَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالُوا: «لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ!». ٢٤ 24
And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
فَكَلَّمَ صَمُوئِيلُ ٱلشَّعْبَ بِقَضَاءِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ، وَكَتَبَهُ فِي ٱلسِّفْرِ وَوَضَعَهُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ثُمَّ أَطْلَقَ صَمُوئِيلُ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ. ٢٥ 25
Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
وَشَاوُلُ أَيْضًا ذَهَبَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ إِلَى جِبْعَةَ، وَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ ٱلَّتِي مَسَّ ٱللهُ قَلْبَهَا. ٢٦ 26
And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.
وَأَمَّا بَنُو بَلِيَّعَالَ فَقَالُوا: «كَيْفَ يُخَلِّصُنَا هَذَا؟». فَٱحْتَقَرُوهُ وَلَمْ يُقَدِّمُوا لَهُ هَدِيَّةً. فَكَانَ كَأَصَمَّ. ٢٧ 27
But the worthless men said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.
