< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 19 >

وَكَلَّمَ شَاوُلُ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنَهُ وَجَمِيعَ عَبِيدِهِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا دَاوُدَ. ١ 1
Then spake Saul unto Jonathan his son, and unto all his servants, that they should put David to death;
وَأَمَّا يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شَاوُلَ فَسُرَّ بِدَاوُدَ جِدًّا. فَأَخْبَرَ يُونَاثَانُ دَاوُدَ قَائِلًا: «شَاوُلُ أَبِي مُلْتَمِسٌ قَتْلَكَ، وَٱلْآنَ فَٱحْتَفِظْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ، وَأَقِمْ فِي خُفْيَةٍ وَٱخْتَبِئْ. ٢ 2
but, Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted in David, exceedingly, —so Jonathan told David, saying, Saul, my father, is seeking to put thee to death, —now, therefore, take heed to thyself I pray thee, in the morning, and abide thou in concealment, and hide thyself;
وَأَنَا أَخْرُجُ وَأَقِفُ بِجَانِبِ أَبِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ، وَأُكَلِّمُ أَبِي عَنْكَ، وَأَرَى مَاذَا يَصِيرُ وَأُخْبِرُكَ». ٣ 3
and, I, will come out and stand beside my father, in the field where, thou, art, and, I, will speak of thee unto my father, —and, if I see aught, I will tell thee.
وَتَكَلَّمَ يُونَاثَانُ عَنْ دَاوُدَ حَسَنًا مَعَ شَاوُلَ أَبِيهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَا يُخْطِئِ ٱلْمَلِكُ إِلَى عَبْدِهِ دَاوُدَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ إِلَيْكَ، وَلِأَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُ حَسَنَةٌ لَكَ جِدًّا. ٤ 4
So then Jonathan spake of David things that were good, unto Saul his father, —and said unto him—May the king not sin against his servant—against David; for he hath not sinned against, thee, nay, indeed, his doings have been good to theeward exceedingly.
فَإِنَّهُ وَضَعَ نَفْسَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَقَتَلَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ فَصَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ خَلَاصًا عَظِيمًا لِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَ وَفَرِحْتَ. فَلِمَاذَا تُخْطِئُ إِلَى دَمٍ بَرِيءٍ بِقَتْلِ دَاوُدَ بِلَا سَبَبٍ؟» ٥ 5
And, when he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Yahweh wrought a great victory for all Israel, thou sawest, and didst rejoice. Wherefore, then, shouldst thou sin against innocent blood by putting David to death, without cause?
فَسَمِعَ شَاوُلُ لِصَوْتِ يُونَاثَانَ، وَحَلَفَ شَاوُلُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يُقْتَلُ». ٦ 6
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan, —and Saul sware, By the life of Yahweh, he shall not be put to death!
فَدَعَا يُونَاثَانُ دَاوُدَ وَأَخْبَرَهُ يُونَاثَانُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ. ثُمَّ جَاءَ يُونَاثَانُ بِدَاوُدَ إِلَى شَاوُلَ فَكَانَ أَمَامَهُ كَأَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ. ٧ 7
And Jonathan called for David, and Jonathan told him all these things, —and Jonathan brought in David unto Saul, and so he was in his presence, as aforetime.
وَعَادَتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ تَحْدُثُ، فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ وَحَارَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَضَرَبَهُمْ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً فَهَرَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِهِ. ٨ 8
But, when the war again brake out, —and David went forth and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great smiting, and they fled before him,
وَكَانَ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلرَّدِيءُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَرُمْحُهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَضْرِبُ بِٱلْيَدِ. ٩ 9
then came there a sad spirit of Yahweh unto Saul, he being in his house, seated, with his spear in his hand, —while, David, played with his hand,
فَٱلْتَمَسَ شَاوُلُ أَنْ يَطْعَنَ دَاوُدَ بِٱلرُّمْحِ حَتَّى إِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ، فَفَرَّ مِنْ أَمَامِ شَاوُلَ فَضَرَبَ ٱلرُّمْحَ إِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ، فَهَرَبَ دَاوُدُ وَنَجَا تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ. ١٠ 10
Saul sought to smite David with the spear, even to the wall, but he slipped away from before Saul, who smote the spear into the wall, —whereas, David, fled and escaped, that night.
فَأَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ رُسُلًا إِلَى بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ لِيُرَاقِبُوهُ وَيَقْتُلُوهُ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ. فَأَخْبَرَتْ دَاوُدَ مِيكَالُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ قَائِلَةً: «إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَنْجُو بِنَفْسِكَ هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ فَإِنَّكَ تُقْتَلُ غَدًا». ١١ 11
And Saul sent messengers unto David’s house, to watch him, and to put him to death, in the morning! And Michal his wife told David, saying, If thou do not deliver thyself to-night, to-morrow, art thou to be put to death.
فَأَنْزَلَتْ مِيكَالُ دَاوُدَ مِنَ ٱلْكُوَّةِ، فَذَهَبَ هَارِبًا وَنَجَا. ١٢ 12
So Michal let down David, through the window, and he departed and fled, and escaped.
فَأَخَذَتْ مِيكَالُ ٱلتَّرَافِيمَ وَوَضَعَتْهُ فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ، وَوَضَعَتْ لُبْدَةَ ٱلْمِعْزَى تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ وَغَطَّتْهُ بِثَوْبٍ. ١٣ 13
And Michal took the household god, and put it in the bed, and, a fly-net of goat’s-hair, put she at its head, —and covered it with the clothes.
وَأَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ رُسُلًا لِأَخْذِ دَاوُدَ، فَقَالَتْ: «هُوَ مَرِيضٌ». ١٤ 14
And, when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said—He is, sick.
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ ٱلرُّسُلَ لِيَرَوْا دَاوُدَ قَائِلًا: «ٱصْعَدُوا بِهِ إِلَيَّ عَلَى ٱلْفِرَاشِ لِكَيْ أَقْتُلَهُ». ١٥ 15
So Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, —Bring him up in the bed unto me, that I may put him to death.
فَجَاءَ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَإِذَا فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ ٱلتَّرَافِيمُ وَلِبْدَةُ ٱلْمِعْزَى تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ. ١٦ 16
And, when the messengers entered, lo! the household god in the bed, —with a fly-net of goat’s-hair at its head.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِمِيكَالَ: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتِنِي، فَأَطْلَقْتِ عَدُوِّي حَتَّى نَجَا؟» فَقَالَتْ مِيكَالُ لِشَاوُلَ: «هُوَ قَالَ لِي: أَطْلِقِينِي، لِمَاذَا أَقْتُلُكِ؟». ١٧ 17
And Saul said unto Michal—Wherefore, in this way, hast thou deceived me, and let go mine enemy, that he hath escaped? Then said Michal unto Saul, He, himself, said unto me—Let me go, wherefore should I put thee to death?
فَهَرَبَ دَاوُدُ وَنَجَا وَجَاءَ إِلَى صَمُوئِيلَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِكُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ بِهِ شَاوُلُ. وَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَصَمُوئِيلُ وَأَقَامَا فِي نَايُوتَ. ١٨ 18
So, David, fled, and escaped, and came in unto Samuel in Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him, —and he and Samuel departed, and dwelt in Naioth.
فَأُخْبِرَ شَاوُلُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ فِي نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ». ١٩ 19
And it was told Saul, saying, —Lo! David, is in Naioth, in Ramah.
فَأَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ رُسُلًا لِأَخْذِ دَاوُدَ. وَلَمَّا رَأَوْا جَمَاعَةَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ، وَصَمُوئِيلَ وَاقِفًا رَئِيسًا عَلَيْهِمْ، كَانَ رُوحُ ٱللهِ عَلَى رُسُلِ شَاوُلَ فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا. ٢٠ 20
So Saul sent messengers to take David, but, when they saw the assembly of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, then came the Spirit of God upon the messengers of Saul, and, they also, were, moved to prophesy.
وَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ، فَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا آخَرِينَ، فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا. ثُمَّ عَادَ شَاوُلُ فَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا ثَالِثَةً، فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا. ٢١ 21
And, when they told Saul, and he sent other messengers, then were, they also, moved to prophesy. And, when Saul again sent messengers a third time, then were, they also, moved to prophesy.
فَذَهَبَ هُوَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلرَّامَةِ وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْبِئْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ سِيخُو وَسَأَلَ وَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَدَاوُدُ؟» فَقِيلَ: «هَا هُمَا فِي نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ». ٢٢ 22
Then went, he also himself, to Ramah, and came in as far as the well of the threshing-floor which is in Sephi, and asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said—Lo! in Naioth, in Ramah.
فَذَهَبَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ إِلَى نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ، فَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضًا رُوحُ ٱللهِ، فَكَانَ يَذْهَبُ وَيَتَنَبَّأُ حَتَّى جَاءَ إِلَى نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ. ٢٣ 23
And, when he departed from thence towards Naioth in Ramah, then came upon, him also, the Spirit of God, and he went on and on, and was moved to prophesy, until he entered Naioth in Ramah.
فَخَلَعَ هُوَ أَيْضًا ثِيَابَهُ وَتَنَبَّأَ هُوَ أَيْضًا أَمَامَ صَمُوئِيلَ، وَٱنْطَرَحَ عُرْيَانًا ذَلِكَ ٱلنَّهَارَ كُلَّهُ وَكُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ. لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُونَ: «أَشَاوُلُ أَيْضًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ؟». ٢٤ 24
And, even he, stripped off his upper garments, and, even he, was moved to prophesy before Samuel, and lay prostrate, disrobed, all that day, and all the night. For this cause, do they say, Is, even Saul, among the prophets?
