وَكَلَّمَ شَاوُلُ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنَهُ وَجَمِيعَ عَبِيدِهِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا دَاوُدَ. ١ 1
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David.
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
Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, live in a secret place, and hide yourself.
وَأَنَا أَخْرُجُ وَأَقِفُ بِجَانِبِ أَبِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ، وَأُكَلِّمُ أَبِي عَنْكَ، وَأَرَى مَاذَا يَصِيرُ وَأُخْبِرُكَ». ٣ 3
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”
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
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
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
for he put his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
فَسَمِعَ شَاوُلُ لِصَوْتِ يُونَاثَانَ، وَحَلَفَ شَاوُلُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يُقْتَلُ». ٦ 6
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, 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
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
وَعَادَتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ تَحْدُثُ، فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ وَحَارَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَضَرَبَهُمْ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً فَهَرَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِهِ. ٨ 8
There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; 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
An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing music 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 pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence; and he stuck the spear into the wall. 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
Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
فَأَنْزَلَتْ مِيكَالُ دَاوُدَ مِنَ ٱلْكُوَّةِ، فَذَهَبَ هَارِبًا وَنَجَا. ١٢ 12
So Michal let David down through the window. He went away, fled, and escaped.
فَأَخَذَتْ مِيكَالُ ٱلتَّرَافِيمَ وَوَضَعَتْهُ فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ، وَوَضَعَتْ لُبْدَةَ ٱلْمِعْزَى تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ وَغَطَّتْهُ بِثَوْبٍ. ١٣ 13
Michal took the teraphim and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with clothes.
وَأَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ رُسُلًا لِأَخْذِ دَاوُدَ، فَقَالَتْ: «هُوَ مَرِيضٌ». ١٤ 14
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
Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
فَجَاءَ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَإِذَا فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ ٱلتَّرَافِيمُ وَلِبْدَةُ ٱلْمِعْزَى تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ. ١٦ 16
When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِمِيكَالَ: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتِنِي، فَأَطْلَقْتِ عَدُوِّي حَتَّى نَجَا؟» فَقَالَتْ مِيكَالُ لِشَاوُلَ: «هُوَ قَالَ لِي: أَطْلِقِينِي، لِمَاذَا أَقْتُلُكِ؟». ١٧ 17
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
فَهَرَبَ دَاوُدُ وَنَجَا وَجَاءَ إِلَى صَمُوئِيلَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِكُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ بِهِ شَاوُلُ. وَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَصَمُوئِيلُ وَأَقَامَا فِي نَايُوتَ. ١٨ 18
Now David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.
فَأُخْبِرَ شَاوُلُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ فِي نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ». ١٩ 19
Saul was told, saying, “Behold, David is at 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
Saul sent messengers to seize David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied.
وَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ، فَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا آخَرِينَ، فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا. ثُمَّ عَادَ شَاوُلُ فَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا ثَالِثَةً، فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا. ٢١ 21
When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
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 he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” One said, “Behold, they are at 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
He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to 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
He also stripped off his clothes. He also prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
