< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 18 >

وَكَانَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ ٱلْكَلَامِ مَعَ شَاوُلَ أَنَّ نَفْسَ يُونَاثَانَ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِنَفْسِ دَاوُدَ، وَأَحَبَّهُ يُونَاثَانُ كَنَفْسِهِ. ١ 1
And it came to pass, when he had finished 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
And 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
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his belt.
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
And David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted 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
And it came to pass as they came, when David had 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 tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music.
فَأَجَابَتِ ٱلنِّسَاءُ ٱللَّاعِبَاتُ وَقُلْنَ: «ضَرَبَ شَاوُلُ أُلُوفَهُ وَدَاوُدُ رِبْوَاتِهِ. ٧ 7
And the women spoke to one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and 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
And Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
فَكَانَ شَاوُلُ يُعَايِنُ دَاوُدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ فَصَاعِدًا. ٩ 9
And Saul kept a jealous eye on David from that day and onward.
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
And it came to pass on the next day, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul’s hand.
فَأَشْرَعَ شَاوُلُ ٱلرُّمْحَ وَقَالَ: «أَضْرِبُ دَاوُدَ حَتَّى إِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ». فَتَحَوَّلَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ. ١١ 11
And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David escaped from his presence twice.
وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ يَخَافُ دَاوُدَ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ، وَقَدْ فَارَقَ شَاوُلَ. ١٢ 12
And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD 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
And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى شَاوُلُ أَنَّهُ مُفْلِحٌ جِدًّا فَزِعَ مِنْهُ. ١٥ 15
Therefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا يُحِبُّونَ دَاوُدَ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْرُجُ وَيَدْخُلُ أَمَامَهُمْ. ١٦ 16
But all Israel and Judah loved David, because 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
And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee for a wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD’S battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «مَنْ أَنَا، وَمَا هِيَ حَيَاتِي وَعَشِيرَةُ أَبِي فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى أَكُونَ صِهْرَ ٱلْمَلِكِ؟». ١٨ 18
And 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 came to pass at the time when Merab Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
وَمِيكَالُ ٱبْنَةُ شَاوُلَ أَحَبَّتْ دَاوُدَ، فَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ، فَحَسُنَ ٱلْأَمْرُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. ٢٠ 20
And Michal 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 said, 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, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the two.
وَأَمَرَ شَاوُلُ عَبِيدَهُ: «تَكَلَّمُوا مَعَ دَاوُدَ سِرًّا قَائِلِينَ: هُوَذَا قَدْ سُرَّ بِكَ ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَجَمِيعُ عَبِيدِهِ قَدْ أَحَبُّوكَ. فَٱلْآنَ صَاهِرِ ٱلْمَلِكَ». ٢٢ 22
And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Speak with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: 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
And Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king’s son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
فَأَخْبَرَ شَاوُلَ عَبِيدُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ تَكَلَّمَ دَاوُدُ». ٢٤ 24
And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spoke David.
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
And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. But 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
And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law: and the days had 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
Therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two 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. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife.
فَرَأَى شَاوُلُ وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَعَ دَاوُدَ. وَمِيكَالُ ٱبْنَةُ شَاوُلَ كَانَتْ تُحِبُّهُ. ٢٨ 28
And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul’s daughter loved him.
وَعَادَ شَاوُلُ يَخَافُ دَاوُدَ بَعْدُ، وَصَارَ شَاوُلُ عَدُوًّا لِدَاوُدَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ٢٩ 29
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became 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 princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much esteemed.
