صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 17
| وَجَمَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ جُيُوشَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ، فَٱجْتَمَعُوا فِي سُوكُوهَ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا، وَنَزَلُوا بَيْنَ سُوكُوهَ وَعَزِيقَةَ فِي أَفَسِ دَمِّيمَ. | ١ 1 |
The Philistine armies gathered for battle at Socoh in Judah. They set up camp between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.
| وَٱجْتَمَعَ شَاوُلُ وَرِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي وَادِي ٱلْبُطْمِ، وَٱصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٢ 2 |
Saul and the Israelites gathered and camped in the Valley of Elah and took up their positions to engage in battle with the Philistines.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وُقُوفًا عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْ هُنَا، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ وُقُوفًا عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْوَادِي بَيْنَهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
The Philistines were on one hill and the Israelites on another with the valley between them.
| فَخَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مُبَارِزٌ مِنْ جُيُوشِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱسْمُهُ جُلْيَاتُ، مِنْ جَتَّ، طُولُهُ سِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ وَشِبْرٌ، | ٤ 4 |
Then a champion came out of the Philistine camp. His name was Goliath from Gath, and he was six cubits and a span tall.
| وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ خُوذَةٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَكَانَ لَابِسًا دِرْعًا حَرْشَفِيًّا، وَوَزْنَ ٱلْدِّرْعِ خَمْسَةُ آلَافِ شَاقِلِ نُحَاسٍ، | ٥ 5 |
He had on his head a bronze helmet and he wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels.
| وَجُرْمُوقَا نُحَاسٍ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ، وَمِزْرَاقُ نُحَاسٍ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ، | ٦ 6 |
On his legs he wore bronze armor, and he carried a javelin slung between his shoulders.
| وَقَنَاةُ رُمْحِهِ كَنَوْلِ ٱلنَّسَّاجِينَ، وَسِنَانُ رُمْحِهِ سِتُّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلِ حَدِيدٍ، وَحَامِلُ ٱلتُّرْسِ كَانَ يَمْشِي قُدَّامَهُ. | ٧ 7 |
The shaft of his spear was as thick as weaver's beam, with an iron tip that weighed six hundred shekels. His shield-bearer walked ahead of him carrying his shield.
| فَوَقَفَ وَنَادَى صُفُوفَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تَخْرُجُونَ لِتَصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ؟ أَمَا أَنَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ، وَأَنْتُمْ عَبِيدٌ لِشَاوُلَ؟ ٱخْتَارُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ رَجُلًا وَلْيَنْزِلْ إِلَيَّ. | ٨ 8 |
Goliath stood and shouted at the lines of Israelite soldiers, “Why have you come and lined for battle? I am the Philistine, and you're Saul's servants. Pick one of your men and have him come down and fight me.
| فَإِنْ قَدَرَ أَنْ يُحَارِبَنِي وَيَقْتُلَنِي نَصِيرُ لَكُمْ عَبِيدًا، وَإِنْ قَدَرْتُ أَنَا عَلَيْهِ وَقَتَلْتُهُ تَصِيرُونَ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا عَبِيدًا وَتَخْدِمُونَنَا». | ٩ 9 |
If he can fight me and kill me, then we will be your slaves. But if I beat him and kill him, then you'll be our slaves and work for us.”
| وَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ: «أَنَا عَيَّرْتُ صُفُوفَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ. أَعْطُونِي رَجُلًا فَنَتَحَارَبَ مَعًا». | ١٠ 10 |
Then the Philistine said, “I mock the battle lines of Israel today! Give me a man so we can fight each other!”
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ شَاوُلُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَلَامَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ هَذَا ٱرْتَاعُوا وَخَافُوا جِدًّا. | ١١ 11 |
Saul and all the Israelite soldiers were shattered and absolutely terrified when they heard what the Philistine said.
| وَدَاوُدُ هُوَ ٱبْنُ ذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْأَفْرَاتِيِّ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِي ٱسْمُهُ يَسَّى وَلَهُ ثَمَانِيَةُ بَنِينَ. وَكَانَ ٱلرَّجُلُ فِي أَيَّامِ شَاوُلَ قَدْ شَاخَ وَكَبُرَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ. | ١٢ 12 |
David was the son of a man named Jesse. He was an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah who had eight sons. At the time Saul was king, Jesse was very old.
| وَذَهَبَ بَنُو يَسَّى ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ ٱلْكِبَارُ وَتَبِعُوا شَاوُلَ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ. وَأَسْمَاءُ بَنِيهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ: أَلِيآبُ ٱلْبِكْرُ، وَأَبِينَادَابُ ثَانِيهِ، وَشَمَّةُ ثَالِثُهُمَا. | ١٣ 13 |
Jesse's three oldest sons had joined Saul's army war. These were Eliab (the firstborn), Abinadab (second), and Shammah (third).
| وَدَاوُدُ هُوَ ٱلصَّغِيرُ. وَٱلثَّلَاثَةُ ٱلْكِبَارُ ذَهَبُوا وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ. | ١٤ 14 |
David was the youngest. The three oldest were with Saul,
| وَأَمَّا دَاوُدُ فَكَانَ يَذْهَبُ وَيَرْجِعُ مِنْ عِنْدِ شَاوُلَ لِيَرْعَى غَنَمَ أَبِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
while David went to Saul and then back again to look after his father's sheep.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ يَتَقَدَّمُ وَيَقِفُ صَبَاحًا وَمَسَاءً أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. | ١٦ 16 |
Every morning and evening for forty days the Philistine came out to take his stand.
| فَقَالَ يَسَّى لِدَاوُدَ ٱبْنِهِ: «خُذْ لِإِخْوَتِكَ إِيفَةً مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْفَرِيكِ، وَهَذِهِ ٱلْعَشَرَ ٱلْخُبْزَاتِ وَٱرْكُضْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى إِخْوَتِكَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Jesse told his son David, “Please take your brothers this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers. Take them quickly to your brothers' camp.
| وَهَذِهِ ٱلْعَشَرَ ٱلْقِطْعَاتِ مِنَ ٱلْجُبْنِ قَدِّمْهَا لِرَئِيسِ ٱلْأَلْفِ، وَٱفْتَقِدْ سَلَامَةَ إِخْوَتِكَ وَخُذْ مِنْهُمْ عُرْبُونًا». | ١٨ 18 |
Take these ten cheese pieces to their commander. Check carefully to see how your brothers are doing and bring back their news.”
| وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ وَهُمْ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَادِي ٱلْبُطْمِ يُحَارِبُونَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ١٩ 19 |
They were with Saul and the whole Israelite army in the Valley of Elah, fighting the Philistines.
| فَبَكَّرَ دَاوُدُ صَبَاحًا وَتَرَكَ ٱلْغَنَمَ مَعَ حَارِسٍ، وَحَمَّلَ وَذَهَبَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ يَسَّى، وَأَتَى إِلَى ٱلْمِتْرَاسِ، وَٱلْجَيْشُ خَارِجٌ إِلَى ٱلِٱصْطِفَافِ وَهَتَفُوا لِلْحَرْبِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
David got up early in the morning and left the flock with a shepherd. He took the supplies and set out as Jesse had told him to. He arrived at the camp just as the army was marching out to its battle line, shouting the war cry.
| وَٱصْطَفَّ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ صَفًّا مُقَابِلَ صَفٍّ. | ٢١ 21 |
The Israelites took up their battle line and the Philistines took up their battle line on the opposite side.
| فَتَرَكَ دَاوُدُ ٱلْأَمْتِعَةَ ٱلَّتِي مَعَهُ بِيَدِ حَافِظِ ٱلْأَمْتِعَةِ، وَرَكَضَ إِلَى ٱلصَّفِّ وَأَتَى وَسَأَلَ عَنْ سَلَامَةِ إِخْوَتِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
David left his supplies with the one responsible and ran to the battle line. When he got there he asked his brothers how they were.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ إِذَا بِرَجُلٍ مُبَارِزٍ ٱسْمُهُ جُلْيَاتُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ مِنْ جَتَّ، صَاعِدٌ مِنْ صُفُوفِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَتَكَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَسَمِعَ دَاوُدُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
While he was talking with them, Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath, came up out of his lines and shouted his challenge as he had before, and David heard what he said.
| وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمَّا رَأَوْا ٱلرَّجُلَ هَرَبُوا مِنْهُ وَخَافُوا جِدًّا. | ٢٤ 24 |
All the Israelite soldiers ran away when they saw him because they were terribly afraid.
| فَقَالَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَرَأَيْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلصَّاعِدَ؟ لِيُعَيِّرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ صَاعِدٍ! فَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتُلُهُ يُغْنِيهِ ٱلْمَلِكُ غِنًى جَزِيلًا، وَيُعْطِيهِ ابِنْتَهُ، وَيَجْعَلُ بَيْتَ أَبِيهِ حُرًّا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٢٥ 25 |
“Have you seen this man who keeps on coming out to mock Israel?” they asked. “The king will make the man who kills him really rich. He will also give him his daughter in marriage, and his family will live tax-free in Israel.”
| فَكَلَّمَ دَاوُدُ ٱلرِّجَالَ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ مَعَهُ قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا يُفْعَلُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتُلُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ، وَيُزِيلُ ٱلْعَارَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ ٱلْأَغْلَفُ حَتَّى يُعَيِّرَ صُفُوفَ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ؟» | ٢٦ 26 |
David asked the men who were standing beside him, “What will the man receive who kills this Philistine and removes this shame from Israel? Who does this heathen Philistine think he is, mocking the armies of the living God?”
| فَكَلَّمَهُ ٱلشَّعْبُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ قَائِلِينَ: «كَذَا يُفْعَلُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتُلُهُ». | ٢٧ 27 |
The soldiers repeated what they had said, telling him, “This is what the man who kills him will receive.”
| وَسَمِعَ أَخُوهُ ٱلْأَكْبَرُ أَلِيآبُ كَلَامَهُ مَعَ ٱلرِّجَالِ، فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ أَلِيآبَ عَلَى دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا نَزَلْتَ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ تَرَكْتَ تِلْكَ ٱلْغُنَيْمَاتِ ٱلْقَلِيلَةَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ؟ أَنَا عَلِمْتُ كِبْرِيَاءَكَ وَشَرَّ قَلْبِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ إِنَّمَا نَزَلْتَ لِكَيْ تَرَى ٱلْحَرْبَ». | ٢٨ 28 |
When David's oldest brother Eliab heard him talking with the men, he got angry with him. “What are you doing here?” he asked. “Who have you left those few sheep with in the wilderness? I know how proud and wicked you are! You've just come to watch the battle!”
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «مَاذَا عَمِلْتُ ٱلْآنَ؟ أَمَا هُوَ كَلَامٌ؟». | ٢٩ 29 |
“What have I done now?” David asked. “Can't I even ask a question?”
| وَتَحَوَّلَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ نَحْوَ آخَرَ، وَتَكَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَرَدَّ لَهُ ٱلشَّعْبُ جَوَابًا كَٱلْجَوَابِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
He went over to some others and asked the same question, and they gave the same answer as before.
| وَسُمِعَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ دَاوُدُ وَأَخْبَرُوا بِهِ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ، فَٱسْتَحْضَرَهُ. | ٣١ 31 |
Someone overheard what David said and reported it to Saul who sent for him.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لَا يَسْقُطْ قَلْبُ أَحَدٍ بِسَبَبِهِ. عَبْدُكَ يَذْهَبُ وَيُحَارِبُ هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ». | ٣٢ 32 |
David told Saul, “No one should lose heart because of this Philistine. I, your servant, will go and fight him!”
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ: «لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ لِتُحَارِبَهُ لِأَنَّكَ غُلَامٌ وَهُوَ رَجُلُ حَرْبٍ مُنْذُ صِبَاهُ». | ٣٣ 33 |
“You can't go out and fight this Philistine,” Saul replied. “You're just a boy, and he's a warrior trained from his youth.”
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «كَانَ عَبْدُكَ يَرْعَى لِأَبِيهِ غَنَمًا، فَجَاءَ أَسَدٌ مَعَ دُبٍّ وَأَخَذَ شَاةً مِنَ ٱلْقَطِيعِ، | ٣٤ 34 |
David replied, “Your servant has been looking after his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock,
| فَخَرَجْتُ وَرَاءَهُ وَقَتَلْتُهُ وَأَنْقَذْتُهَا مِنْ فِيهِ، وَلَمَّا قَامَ عَلَيَّ أَمْسَكْتُهُ مِنْ ذَقْنِهِ وَضَرَبْتُهُ فَقَتَلْتُهُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
I would chase after it, knock it down, and save the lamb from its mouth. If it turned to attack me, I would grab its hair, hit it, and kill it.
| قَتَلَ عَبْدُكَ ٱلْأَسَدَ وَٱلدُّبَّ جَمِيعًا. وَهَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ ٱلْأَغْلَفُ يَكُونُ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ عَيَّرَ صُفُوفَ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ». | ٣٦ 36 |
I have killed lions and bears, and this heathen Philistine will be just like one of them, for he has mocked the armies of the living God.”
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْأَسَدِ وَمِنْ يَدِ ٱلدُّبِّ هُوَ يُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ يَدِ هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ». فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَلْيَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكَ». | ٣٧ 37 |
David concluded, “The Lord who saved me from the claws of the lion and the bear will save me from this Philistine.” “Go, and may the Lord be with you,” Saul responded.
| وَأَلْبَسَ شَاوُلُ دَاوُدَ ثِيَابَهُ، وَجَعَلَ خُوذَةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَأَلْبَسَهُ دِرْعًا. | ٣٨ 38 |
Saul gave David his own battle clothes to wear, placed a bronze helmet on his head, and put armor on him.
| فَتَقَلَّدَ دَاوُدُ بِسَيْفِهِ فَوْقَ ثِيَابِهِ وَعَزَمَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ جَرَّبَ. فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَمْشِيَ بِهَذِهِ، لِأَنِّي لَمْ أُجَرِّبْهَا». وَنَزَعَهَا دَاوُدُ عَنْهُ. | ٣٩ 39 |
David strapped his sword on over the armor but he couldn't walk because he wasn't used to it. “I can't walk in all this,” David told Saul. “I ‘m not used to it.” So David took all the armor off.
| وَأَخَذَ عَصَاهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَٱنْتَخَبَ لَهُ خَمْسَةَ حِجَارَةٍ مُلْسٍ مِنَ ٱلْوَادِي وَجَعَلَهَا فِي كِنْفِ ٱلرُّعَاةِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ، أَيْ فِي ٱلْجِرَابِ، وَمِقْلَاعَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَتَقَدَّمَ نَحْوَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ. | ٤٠ 40 |
He picked up his stick, chose five smooth stones from the stream, and put them in his shepherd's bag. Carrying his sling in his hand, he approached the Philistine.
| وَذَهَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ ذِاهِبًا وَٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَٱلْرَّجُلُ حَامِلُ ٱلتُّرْسِ أَمَامَهُ. | ٤١ 41 |
The Philistine came towards David, closer and closer, with his shield-bearer in front of him.
| وَلَمَّا نَظَرَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ وَرَأَى دَاوُدَ ٱسْتَحْقَرَهُ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ غُلَامًا وَأَشْقَرَ جَمِيلَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
When the Philistine looked closely he could see that David was just a red-faced handsome youth, and so he treated David with contempt.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَلَعَلِّي أَنَا كَلْبٌ حَتَّى أَنَّكَ تَأْتِي إِلَيَّ بِعِصِيٍّ؟». وَلَعَنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ دَاوُدَ بِآلِهَتِهِ. | ٤٣ 43 |
“Do you think I'm a dog, coming to fight me with a stick?” the Philistine asked David, and he cursed David by his gods.
| وَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ لِدَاوُدَ: «تَعَالَ إِلَيَّ فَأُعْطِيَ لَحْمَكَ لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ». | ٤٤ 44 |
Then the Philistine shouted at David, “Come over here, and I'll feed your flesh to the birds and the wild animals.”
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ: «أَنْتَ تَأْتِي إِلَيَّ بِسَيْفٍ وَبِرُمْحٍ وَبِتُرْسٍ، وَأَنَا آتِي إِلَيْكَ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهِ صُفُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَيَّرْتَهُمْ. | ٤٥ 45 |
David replied to the Philistine, “You come to attack me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin. But I come to attack you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel—the one you have mocked.
| هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ يَحْبِسُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي يَدِي، فَأَقْتُلُكَ وَأَقْطَعُ رَأْسَكَ. وَأُعْطِي جُثَثَ جَيْشِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَتَعْلَمُ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ إِلَهٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤٦ 46 |
Today the Lord will hand you over to me, and I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the dead bodies of the Philistine soldiers to the birds and the wild animals. Then all the world will know that there is a God who acts for Israel.
| وَتَعْلَمُ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ كُلُّهَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِسَيْفٍ وَلَا بِرُمْحٍ يُخَلِّصُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْحَرْبَ لِلرَّبِّ وَهُوَ يَدْفَعُكُمْ لِيَدِنَا». | ٤٧ 47 |
Everyone gathered here will realize that the Lord saves, but not with sword and spear. For the battle is the Lord's, and he will hand all of you over to us.”
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا قَامَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ وَذَهَبَ وَتَقدَّمَ لِلِقَاءِ دَاودَ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ أَسْرَعَ وَرَكَضَ نَحْوَ ٱلصَّفِّ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ. | ٤٨ 48 |
As the Philistine moved forward to attack him, David raced toward the battle line to confront him.
| وَمَدَّ دَاوُدُ يَدَهُ إِلَى ٱلْكِنْفِ وَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ حَجَرًا وَرَمَاهُ بِٱلْمِقْلَاعِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ فِي جِبْهَتِهِ، فَٱرْتَزَّ ٱلْحَجَرُ فِي جِبْهَتِهِ، وَسَقَطَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٤٩ 49 |
David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and fired it from his sling, hitting the Philistine on the forehead. The stone went into his forehead, and he collapsed facedown on the ground.
| فَتَمَكَّنَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ بِٱلْمِقْلَاعِ وَٱلْحَجَرِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ وَقَتَلَهُ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ سَيْفٌ بِيَدِ دَاوُدَ. | ٥٠ 50 |
This is how David defeated the Philistine with just a sling and a stone; with no sword in his hand David knocked the Philistine down and killed him.
| فَرَكَضَ دَاوُدُ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ وَأَخَذَ سَيْفَهُ وَٱخْتَرَطَهُ مِنْ غِمْدِهِ وَقَتَلَهُ وَقَطَعَ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ. فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّ جَبَّارَهُمْ قَدْ مَاتَ هَرَبُوا. | ٥١ 51 |
David ran and stood over the Philistine. He took the Philistine's sword and pulled it out of its sheath. He killed him and then he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they turned and ran away.
| فَقَامَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا وَهَتَفُوا وَلَحِقُوا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ حَتَّى مَجِيئِكَ إِلَى ٱلْوَادِي، وَحَتَّى أَبْوَابِ عَقْرُونَ. فَسَقَطَتْ قَتْلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فِي طَرِيقِ شَعَرَايِمَ إِلَى جَتَّ وَإِلَى عَقْرُونَ. | ٥٢ 52 |
Then the men of Israel and Judah rushed forward shouting the war-cry and chased the Philistines all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron. Their bodies were scattered along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ ٱلِٱحْتِمَاءِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَنَهَبُوا مَحَلَّتَهُمْ. | ٥٣ 53 |
When the Israelites returned from their hot pursuit of the Philistines, they plundered their camps.
| وَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ رَأْسَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ وَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَوَضَعَ أَدَوَاتِهِ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ. | ٥٤ 54 |
David took the Philistine's head and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put the Philistine's weapons in his own tent.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى شَاوُلُ دَاوُدَ خَارِجًا لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ قَالَ لِأَبْنَيْرَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْجَيْشِ: «ٱبْنُ مَنْ هَذَا ٱلْغُلَامُ يَا أَبْنَيْرُ؟» فَقَالَ أَبْنَيْرُ: «وَحَيَاتِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ». | ٥٥ 55 |
When Saul had watched David going out to fight the Philistine, he'd asked Abner the army commander, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” “On your life, Your Majesty, I do not know,” Abner replied.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «ٱسْأَلِ ٱبْنُ مَنْ هَذَا ٱلْغُلَامُ». | ٥٦ 56 |
“Find out whose son this young man is,” the king ordered.
| وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ قَتْلِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ أَخَذَهُ أَبْنَيْرُ وَأَحْضَرَهُ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ وَرَأْسُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ بِيَدِهِ. | ٥٧ 57 |
As soon as David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul. David was still clutching the Philistine's head in his hand.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ شَاوُلُ: «ٱبْنُ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا غُلَامُ؟» فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «ٱبْنُ عَبْدِكَ يَسَّى ٱلْبَيْتَلَحْمِيِّ». | ٥٨ 58 |
“Whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked. “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David replied.
