< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 14 >

وَفِي ذَاتِ يَوْمٍ قَالَ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شَاوُلَ لِلْغُلَامِ حَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَعْبُرْ إِلَى حَفَظَةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْعَبْرِ». وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْ أَبَاهُ. ١ 1
Now it happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.
وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ مُقِيمًا فِي طَرَفِ جِبْعَةَ تَحْتَ ٱلرُّمَّانَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي مِغْرُونَ، وَٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ نَحْوُ سِتِّ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ. ٢ 2
Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron; and the people who were with him were about six hundred men,
وَأَخِيَّا بْنُ أَخِيطُوبَ، أَخِي إِيخَابُودَ بْنِ فِينَحَاسَ بْنِ عَالِي، كَاهِنُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ كَانَ لَابِسًا أَفُودًا. وَلَمْ يَعْلَمِ ٱلشَّعْبُ أَنَّ يُونَاثَانَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ. ٣ 3
including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.
وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَعَابِرِ ٱلَّتِي ٱلْتَمَسَ يُونَاثَانُ أَنْ يَعْبُرَهَا إِلَى حَفَظَةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سِنُّ صَخْرَةٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْجِهَةِ وَسِنُّ صَخْرَةٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْجِهَةِ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ «بُوصَيْصُ» وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى «سَنَهُ». ٤ 4
Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
وَٱلسِّنُّ ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَمُودٌ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ مُقَابِلَ مِخْمَاسَ، وَٱلْآخَرُ إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ مُقَابِلَ جِبْعَ. ٥ 5
The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِلْغُلَامِ حَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَعْبُرْ إِلَى صَفِّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْغُلْفِ، لَعَلَّ ٱللهَ يَعْمَلُ مَعَنَا، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلرَّبِّ مَانِعٌ عَنْ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ بِٱلْكَثِيرِ أَوْ بِٱلْقَلِيلِ». ٦ 6
Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us, for there is no restraint on Yahweh to save by many or by few.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ: «ٱعْمَلْ كُلَّ مَا بِقَلْبِكَ. تَقَدَّمْ. هَأَنَذَا مَعَكَ حَسَبَ قَلْبِكَ». ٧ 7
His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your heart.”
فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «هُوَذَا نَحْنُ نَعْبُرُ إِلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ وَنُظْهِرُ أَنْفُسَنَا لَهُمْ. ٨ 8
Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.
فَإِنْ قَالُوا لَنَا هَكَذَا: دُومُوا حَتَّى نَصِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ. نَقِفُ فِي مَكَانِنَا وَلَا نَصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِمْ. ٩ 9
If they say this to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالُوا هَكَذَا: ٱصْعَدُوا إِلَيْنَا. نَصْعَدُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِنَا، وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ لَنَا». ١٠ 10
But if they say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”
فَأَظْهَرَا أَنْفُسَهُمَا لِصَفِّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. فَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ خَارِجُونَ مِنَ ٱلثُّقُوبِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَبَأُوا فِيهَا». ١١ 11
Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”
فَأَجَابَ رِجَالُ ٱلصَّفِّ يُونَاثَانَ وَحَامِلَ سِلَاحِهِ وَقَالُوا: «ٱصْعَدَا إِلَيْنَا فَنُعَلِّمَكُمَا شَيْئًا». فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِحَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «ٱصْعَدْ وَرَائِي لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ». ١٢ 12
The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
فَصَعِدَ يُونَاثَانُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ وَرَاءَهُ. فَسَقَطُوا أَمَامَ يُونَاثَانَ، وَكَانَ حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ يُقَتِّلُ وَرَاءَهُ. ١٣ 13
Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him, and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.
وَكَانَتِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ ٱلْأُولَى ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبَهَا يُونَاثَانُ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ نَحْوَ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا فِي نَحْوِ نِصْفِ تَلَمِ فَدَّانِ أَرْضٍ. ١٤ 14
That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.
وَكَانَ ٱرْتِعَادٌ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٱلصَّفُّ وَٱلْمُخَرِّبُونَ ٱرْتَعَدُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا، وَرَجَفَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ فَكَانَ ٱرْتِعَادٌ عَظِيمٌ. ١٥ 15
There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.
فَنَظَرَ ٱلْمُرَاقِبُونَ لِشَاوُلَ فِي جِبْعَةِ بَنْيَامِينَ، وَإِذَا بِٱلْجُمْهُورِ قَدْ ذَابَ وَذَهَبُوا مُتَبَدِّدِينَ. ١٦ 16
The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ: «عُدُّوا ٱلْآنَ وَٱنْظُرُوا مَنْ ذَهَبَ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا». فَعَدُّوا، وَهُوَذَا يُونَاثَانُ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ لَيْسَا مَوْجُودَيْنِ. ١٧ 17
Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِأَخِيَّا: «قَدِّمْ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ». لِأَنَّ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٨ 18
Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.
وَفِيمَا كَانَ شَاوُلُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بَعْدُ مَعَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، تَزَايَدَ ٱلضَّجِيجُ ٱلَّذِي فِي مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَكَثُرَ. فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلْكَاهِنِ: «كُفَّ يَدَكَ». ١٩ 19
While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”
وَصَاحَ شَاوُلُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَإِذَا بِسَيْفِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ. ٱضْطِرَابٌ عَظِيمٌ جِدًّا. ٢٠ 20
Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.
وَٱلْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ، ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ مِنْ حَوَالَيْهِمْ، صَارُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ. ٢١ 21
Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
وَسَمِعَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَبَأُوا فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ أَنَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ هَرَبُوا، فَشَدُّوا هُمْ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَهُمْ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ. ٢٢ 22
Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
فَخَلَّصَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. وَعَبَرَتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ إِلَى بَيْتِ آوِنَ. ٢٣ 23
So Yahweh saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.
وَضَنُكَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّ شَاوُلَ حَلَّفَ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: «مَلْعُونٌ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ حَتَّى أَنْتَقِمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي». فَلَمْ يَذُقْ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ خُبْزًا. ٢٤ 24
The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
وَجَاءَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلْوَعْرِ وَكَانَ عَسَلٌ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. ٢٥ 25
All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.
وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْوَعْرَ إِذَا بِٱلْعَسَلِ يَقْطُرُ وَلَمْ يَمُدَّ أَحَدٌ يَدَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ خَافَ مِنَ ٱلْقَسَمِ. ٢٦ 26
When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
وَأَمَّا يُونَاثَانُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ عِنْدَمَا ٱسْتَحْلَفَ أَبُوهُ ٱلشَّعْبَ، فَمَدَّ طَرَفَ ٱلنُّشَّابَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِيَدِهِ وَغَمَسَهُ فِي قَطْرِ ٱلْعَسَلِ وَرَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ فَٱسْتَنَارَتْ عَيْنَاهُ. ٢٧ 27
But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.
فَأَجَابَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ حَلَّفَ أَبُوكَ ٱلشَّعْبَ حَلْفًا قَائِلًا: مَلْعُونٌ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا ٱلْيَوْمَ. فَأَعْيَا ٱلشَّعْبُ». ٢٨ 28
Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So the people were faint.
فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «قَدْ كَدَّرَ أَبِي ٱلْأَرْضَ. اُنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ ٱسْتَنَارَتْ عَيْنَايَ لِأَنِّي ذُقْتُ قَلِيلًا مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْعَسَلِ. ٢٩ 29
Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ لَوْ أَكَلَ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ غَنِيمَةِ أَعْدَائِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي وَجَدُوا؟ أَمَا كَانَتِ ٱلْآنَ ضَرْبَةٌ أَعْظَمُ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟» ٣٠ 30
How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.”
فَضَرَبُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ مِخْمَاسَ إِلَى أَيَّلُونَ. وَأَعْيَا ٱلشَّعْبُ جِدًّا. ٣١ 31
They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;
وَثَارَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ، فَأَخَذُوا غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَعُجُولًا، وَذَبَحُوا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَأَكَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى ٱلدَّمِ. ٣٢ 32
and the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
فَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ يُخْطِئُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِأَكْلِهِ عَلَى ٱلدَّمِ». فَقَالَ: «قَدْ غَدَرْتُمْ. دَحْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ ٱلْآنَ حَجَرًا كَبِيرًا». ٣٣ 33
Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against Yahweh, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”
وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «تَفَرَّقُوا بَيْنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ أَنْ يُقَدِّمُوا إِلَيَّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ثَوْرَهُ وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ شَاتَهُ، وَٱذْبَحُوا هَهُنَا وَكُلُوا وَلَا تُخْطِئُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِأَكْلِكُمْ مَعَ ٱلدَّمِ». فَقَدَّمَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ثَوْرَهُ بِيَدِهِ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ وَذَبَحُوا هُنَاكَ. ٣٤ 34
Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against Yahweh in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
وَبَنَى شَاوُلُ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. ٱلَّذِي شَرَعَ بِبُنْيَانِهِ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. ٣٥ 35
Saul built an altar to Yahweh. This was the first altar that he built to Yahweh.
وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لِنَنْزِلْ وَرَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لَيْلًا وَنَنْهَبْهُمْ إِلَى ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَلَا نُبْقِ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا». فَقَالُوا: «ٱفْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». وَقَالَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ: «لِنَتَقَدَّمْ هُنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ». ٣٦ 36
Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let’s draw near here to God.”
فَسَأَلَ شَاوُلُ ٱللهَ: «أَأَنْحَدِرُ وَرَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟ أَتَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٣٧ 37
Saul asked counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى هُنَا يَا جَمِيعَ وُجُوهِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَٱعْلَمُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا بِمَاذَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ ٱلْيَوْمَ. ٣٨ 38
Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today.
لِأَنَّهُ حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَوْ كَانَتْ فِي يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِي فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ مَوْتًا». وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يُجِيبُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٣٩ 39
For as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
فَقَالَ لِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ فِي جَانِبٍ وَأَنَا وَيُونَاثَانُ ٱبْنِي فِي جَانِبٍ». فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِشَاوُلَ: «ٱصْنَعْ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». ٤٠ 40
Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَبْ صِدْقًا». فَأُخِذَ يُونَاثَانُ وَشَاوُلُ، أَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ فَخَرَجُوا. ٤١ 41
Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «أَلْقُوا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِي. فَأُخِذَ يُونَاثَانُ». ٤٢ 42
Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِيُونَاثَانَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ». فَأَخْبَرَهُ يُونَاثَانُ وَقَالَ: «ذُقْتُ ذَوْقًا بِطَرَفِ ٱلنُّشَّابَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِيَدِي قَلِيلَ عَسَلٍ. فَهَأَنَذَا أَمُوتُ». ٤٣ 43
Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱللهُ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ إِنَّكَ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ يَايُونَاثَانُ». ٤٤ 44
Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”
فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِشَاوُلَ: «أَيَمُوتُ يُونَاثَانُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ هَذَا ٱلْخَلَاصَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ حَاشَا! حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا تَسْقُطُ شَعْرَةٌ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِأَنَّهُ مَعَ ٱللهِ عَمِلَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ». فَٱفْتَدَى ٱلشَّعْبُ يُونَاثَانَ فَلَمْ يَمُتْ. ٤٥ 45
The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die.
فَصَعِدَ شَاوُلُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَذَهَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِمْ. ٤٦ 46
Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
وَأَخَذَ شَاوُلُ ٱلْمُلْكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحَارَبَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ: مُوآبَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ وَأَدُومَ وَمُلُوكَ صُوبَةَ وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَحَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهَ غَلَبَ. ٤٧ 47
Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side: against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.
وَفَعَلَ بِبَأْسٍ وَضَرَبَ عَمَالِيقَ، وَأَنْقَذَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ يَدِ نَاهِبِيهِ. ٤٨ 48
He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.
وَكَانَ بَنُو شَاوُلَ: يُونَاثَانَ وَيَشْوِيَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ، وَٱسْمَا ٱبْنَتَيْهِ: ٱسْمُ ٱلْبِكْرِ مَيْرَبُ وَٱسْمُ ٱلصَّغِيرَةِ مِيكَالُ. ٤٩ 49
Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
وَٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَةِ شَاوُلَ أَخِينُوعَمُ بِنْتُ أَخِيمَعَصَ، وَٱسْمُ رَئِيسِ جَيْشِهِ أَبِينَيْرُ بْنُ نَيْرَ عَمِّ شَاوُلَ. ٥٠ 50
The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
