< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 18 >

وَكَانَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ ٱلْكَلَامِ مَعَ شَاوُلَ أَنَّ نَفْسَ يُونَاثَانَ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِنَفْسِ دَاوُدَ، وَأَحَبَّهُ يُونَاثَانُ كَنَفْسِهِ. ١ 1
It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
فَأَخَذَهُ شَاوُلُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَلَمْ يَدَعْهُ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ. ٢ 2
Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
وَقَطَعَ يُونَاثَانُ وَدَاوُدُ عَهْدًا لِأَنَّهُ أَحَبَّهُ كَنَفْسِهِ. ٣ 3
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
وَخَلَعَ يُونَاثَانُ ٱلْجُبَّةَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَيْهِ وَأَعْطَاهَا لِدَاوُدَ مَعَ ثِيَابِهِ وَسَيْفِهِ وَقَوْسِهِ وَمِنْطَقَتِهِ. ٤ 4
Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his clothing, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his sash.
وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى حَيْثُمَا أَرْسَلَهُ شَاوُلُ. كَانَ يُفْلِحُ. فَجَعَلَهُ شَاوُلُ عَلَى رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ. وَحَسُنَ فِي أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَفِي أَعْيُنِ عَبِيدِ شَاوُلَ أَيْضًا. ٥ 5
Then Saul set him over the men of war, and David went out, succeeding wherever Saul sent him. And it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
وَكَانَ عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهِمْ حِينَ رَجَعَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ قَتْلِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ، أَنَّ ٱلنِّسَاءَ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْغِنَاءِ وَٱلرَّقْصِ لِلِقَاءِ شَاوُلَ ٱلْمَلِكِ بِدُفُوفٍ وَبِفَرَحٍ وَبِمُثَلَّثَاتٍ. ٦ 6
It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
فَأَجَابَتِ ٱلنِّسَاءُ ٱللَّاعِبَاتُ وَقُلْنَ: «ضَرَبَ شَاوُلُ أُلُوفَهُ وَدَاوُدُ رِبْوَاتِهِ. ٧ 7
The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands."
فَٱحْتَمى شَاوُلُ جِدًّا وَسَاءَ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: «أَعْطَيْنَ دَاوُدَ رِبْوَاتٍ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَعْطَيْنَنِي ٱلْأُلُوفَ! وَبَعْدُ فَقَطْ تَبْقَى لَهُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةُ». ٨ 8
Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?"
فَكَانَ شَاوُلُ يُعَايِنُ دَاوُدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ فَصَاعِدًا. ٩ 9
Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ أَنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلرَّدِيءَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ ٱقْتَحَمَ شَاوُلَ وَجُنَّ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَيْتِ. وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَضْرِبُ بِيَدِهِ كَمَا فِي يَوْمٍ فَيَوْمٍ، وَكَانَ ٱلرُّمْحُ بِيَدِ شَاوُلَ. ١٠ 10
It happened on the next day, that an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
فَأَشْرَعَ شَاوُلُ ٱلرُّمْحَ وَقَالَ: «أَضْرِبُ دَاوُدَ حَتَّى إِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ». فَتَحَوَّلَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ. ١١ 11
and Saul threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ يَخَافُ دَاوُدَ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ، وَقَدْ فَارَقَ شَاوُلَ. ١٢ 12
Saul was afraid of David, because YHWH was with him, and had departed from Saul.
فَأَبْعَدَهُ شَاوُلُ عَنْهُ وَجَعَلَهُ لَهُ رَئِيسَ أَلْفٍ، فَكَانَ يَخْرُجُ وَيَدْخُلُ أَمَامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ١٣ 13
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ مُفْلِحًا فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ وَٱلرَّبُّ مَعَهُ. ١٤ 14
David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and YHWH was with him.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى شَاوُلُ أَنَّهُ مُفْلِحٌ جِدًّا فَزِعَ مِنْهُ. ١٥ 15
When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا يُحِبُّونَ دَاوُدَ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْرُجُ وَيَدْخُلُ أَمَامَهُمْ. ١٦ 16
But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ: «هُوَذَا ٱبْنَتِي ٱلْكَبِيرَةُ مَيْرَبُ أُعْطِيكَ إِيَّاهَا ٱمْرَأَةً. إِنَّمَا كُنْ لِي ذَا بَأْسٍ وَحَارِبْ حُرُوبَ ٱلرَّبِّ». فَإِنَّ شَاوُلَ قَالَ: «لَا تَكُنْ يَدِي عَلَيْهِ، بَلْ لِتَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ يَدُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». ١٧ 17
Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight YHWH's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him."
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «مَنْ أَنَا، وَمَا هِيَ حَيَاتِي وَعَشِيرَةُ أَبِي فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى أَكُونَ صِهْرَ ٱلْمَلِكِ؟». ١٨ 18
David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"
وَكَانَ فِي وَقْتِ إِعْطَاءِ مَيْرَبَ ٱبْنَةِ شَاوُلَ لِدَاوُدَ أَنَّهَا أُعْطِيَتْ لِعَدْرِيئِيلَ ٱلْمَحُولِيِّ ٱمْرَأَةً. ١٩ 19
But it happened at the time when Merob, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
وَمِيكَالُ ٱبْنَةُ شَاوُلَ أَحَبَّتْ دَاوُدَ، فَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ، فَحَسُنَ ٱلْأَمْرُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. ٢٠ 20
Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «أُعْطِيهِ إِيَّاهَا فَتَكُونُ لَهُ شَرَكًا وَتَكُونُ يَدُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ عَلَيْهِ». وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ ثَانِيَةً: «تُصَاهِرُنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ». ٢١ 21
And Saul thought, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time."
وَأَمَرَ شَاوُلُ عَبِيدَهُ: «تَكَلَّمُوا مَعَ دَاوُدَ سِرًّا قَائِلِينَ: هُوَذَا قَدْ سُرَّ بِكَ ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَجَمِيعُ عَبِيدِهِ قَدْ أَحَبُّوكَ. فَٱلْآنَ صَاهِرِ ٱلْمَلِكَ». ٢٢ 22
Then Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. So now therefore be the king's son-in-law.'"
فَتَكَلَّمَ عَبِيدُ شَاوُلَ فِي أُذُنَيْ دَاوُدَ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ. فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «هَلْ هُوَ مُسْتَخَفٌّ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ مُصَاهَرَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ مِسْكِينٌ وَحَقِيرٌ؟» ٢٣ 23
Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a little thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and insignificant?"
فَأَخْبَرَ شَاوُلَ عَبِيدُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ تَكَلَّمَ دَاوُدُ». ٢٤ 24
The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِدَاوُدَ: لَيْسَتْ مَسَرَّةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ بِٱلْمَهْرِ، بَلْ بِمِئَةِ غُلْفَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لِلِٱنْتِقَامِ مِنْ أَعْدَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ». وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ يَتَفَكَّرُ أَنْ يُوقِعَ دَاوُدَ بِيَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. ٢٥ 25
Saul said, "You shall tell David, 'The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
فَأَخْبَرَ عَبِيدُهُ دَاوُدَ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَحَسُنَ ٱلْكَلَامُ فِي عَيْنَيْ دَاوُدَ أَنْ يُصَاهِرَ ٱلْمَلِكَ. وَلَمْ تَكْمُلِ ٱلْأَيَّامُ ٢٦ 26
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
حَتَّى قَامَ دَاوُدُ وَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَرِجَالُهُ وَقَتَلَ مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِئَتَيْ رَجُلٍ، وَأَتَى دَاوُدُ بِغُلَفِهِمْ فَأَكْمَلُوهَا لِلْمَلِكِ لِمُصَاهَرَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. فَأَعْطَاهُ شَاوُلُ مِيكَالَ ٱبْنَتَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً. ٢٧ 27
and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines one hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Mikal his daughter as wife.
فَرَأَى شَاوُلُ وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَعَ دَاوُدَ. وَمِيكَالُ ٱبْنَةُ شَاوُلَ كَانَتْ تُحِبُّهُ. ٢٨ 28
And Saul saw and knew that YHWH was with David, and that all Israel loved him,
وَعَادَ شَاوُلُ يَخَافُ دَاوُدَ بَعْدُ، وَصَارَ شَاوُلُ عَدُوًّا لِدَاوُدَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ٢٩ 29
then Saul was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
وَخَرَجَ أَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَمِنْ حِينِ خُرُوجِهِمْ كَانَ دَاوُدُ يُفْلِحُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِ شَاوُلَ، فَتَوَقَّرَ ٱسْمُهُ جِدًّا. ٣٠ 30
Then the leaders of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
