< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 11 >

وَصَعِدَ نَاحَاشُ ٱلْعَمُّونِيُّ وَنَزَلَ عَلَى يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ. فَقَالَ جَمِيعُ أَهْلِ يَابِيشَ لِنَاحَاشَ: «ٱقْطَعْ لَنَا عَهْدًا فَنُسْتَعْبَدَ لَكَ». ١ 1
And it came to pass about a month after this, that Naas the Ammanite went up, and encamped against Jabis Galaad: and all the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَاحَاشُ ٱلْعَمُّونِيُّ: «بِهَذَا أَقْطَعُ لَكُمْ. بِتَقْوِيرِ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ يُمْنَى لَكُمْ وَجَعْلِ ذَلِكَ عَارًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٢ 2
Naas the Ammanite said to them, On these terms will I make a covenant with you, that I should put out all your right eyes, and I will lay a reproach upon Israel.
فَقَالَ لَهُ شُيُوخُ يَابِيشَ: «ٱتْرُكْنَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَنُرْسِلَ رُسُلًا إِلَى جَمِيعِ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَإِنْ لَمْ يُوجَدْ مَنْ يُخَلِّصُنَا نَخْرُجْ إِلَيْكَ». ٣ 3
And the men of Jabis say to him, Allow us seven days, and we will send messengers into all the coasts of Israel: if there should be no one to deliver us, we will come out to you.
فَجَاءَ ٱلرُّسُلُ إِلَى جِبْعَةِ شَاوُلَ وَتَكَلَّمُوا بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ فِي آذَانِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، فَرَفَعَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ وَبَكَوْا. ٤ 4
And the messengers came to Gabaa to Saul, and they speak the words into the ears of the people; and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
وَإِذَا بِشَاوُلَ آتٍ وَرَاءَ ٱلْبَقَرِ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ، فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «مَا بَالُ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَبْكُونَ؟» فَقَصُّوا عَلَيْهِ كَلَامَ أَهْلِ يَابِيشَ. ٥ 5
And, behold, Saul came after the early morning out of the field: and Saul said, Why does the people week? and they tell him the words of the men of Jabis.
فَحَلَّ رُوحُ ٱللهِ عَلَى شَاوُلَ عِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ وَحَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ جِدًّا. ٦ 6
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled against them.
فَأَخَذَ فَدَّانَ بَقَرٍ وَقَطَّعَهُ، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى كُلِّ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِيَدِ ٱلرُّسُلِ قَائِلًا: «مَنْ لَا يَخْرُجُ وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ وَوَرَاءَ صَمُوئِيلَ، فَهَكَذَا يُفْعَلُ بِبَقَرِهِ». فَوَقَعَ رُعْبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، فَخَرَجُوا كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ. ٧ 7
And he took two cows, and cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoso comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall they do to his oxen: and a transport from the Lord came upon the people of Israel, and they came out to battle as one man.
وَعَدَّهُمْ فِي بَازَقَ، فَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ، وَرِجَالُ يَهُوذَا ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا. ٨ 8
And he reviews them at Bezec in Bama, every man of Israel six hundred thousand, and the men of Juda seventy thousand.
وَقَالُوا لِلرُّسُلِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِأَهْلِ يَابِيشَ جِلْعَادَ: غَدًا عِنْدَمَا تَحْمَى ٱلشَّمْسُ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ خَلَاصٌ». فَأَتَى ٱلرُّسُلُ وَأَخْبَرُوا أَهْلَ يَابِيشَ فَفَرِحُوا. ٩ 9
And he said to the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say to the men of Jabis, To-morrow ye shall have deliverance when the sun is hot; and the messengers came to the city, and told the men of Jabis, and they rejoiced.
وَقَالَ أَهْلُ يَابِيشَ: «غَدًا نَخْرُجُ إِلَيْكُمْ فَتَفْعَلُونَ بِنَا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ». ١٠ 10
And the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, To-morrow we will come forth to you, and ye shall do to us what seems good in your sight.
وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ أَنَّ شَاوُلَ جَعَلَ ٱلشَّعْبَ ثَلَاثَ فِرَقٍ، وَدَخَلُوا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ عِنْدَ سَحَرِ ٱلصُّبْحِ وَضَرَبُوا ٱلْعَمُّونِيِّينَ حَتَّى حَمِيَ ٱلنَّهَارُ. وَٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا تَشَتَّتُوا حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمُ ٱثْنَانِ مَعًا. ١١ 11
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Saul divided the people into three companies, and they go into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and they smote the children of Ammon until the day was hot; at it came to pass that those who were left were scattered, and there were not left among them two together.
وَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «مَنْ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ: هَلْ شَاوُلُ يَمْلِكُ عَلَيْنَا؟ اِيْتُوا بِٱلرِّجَالِ فَنَقْتُلَهُمْ». ١٢ 12
And the people said to Samuel, Who has said that Saul shall not reign over us? Give up the men, and we will put them to death.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لَا يُقْتَلْ أَحَدٌ فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّهُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ صَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ خَلَاصًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». ١٣ 13
And Saul said, No man shall die this day, for to-day the Lord has wrought deliverance in Israel.
وَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِلشَّعْبِ: «هَلُمُّوا نَذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ وَنُجَدِّدْ هُنَاكَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ». ١٤ 14
And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, Let us go to Galgala, and there renew the kingdom.
فَذَهَبَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ وَمَلَّكُوا هُنَاكَ شَاوُلَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، وَذَبَحُوا هُنَاكَ ذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَفَرِحَ هُنَاكَ شَاوُلُ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ جِدًّا. ١٥ 15
And all the people went to Galgala, and Samuel anointed Saul there to be king before the Lord in Galgala, and there he offered meat-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord: and Samuel and all Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
