< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 2 >

فَصَلَّتْ حَنَّةُ وَقَالَتْ: «فَرِحَ قَلْبِي بِٱلرَّبِّ. ٱرْتَفَعَ قَرْنِي بِٱلرَّبِّ. ٱتَّسَعَ فَمِي عَلَى أَعْدَائِي، لِأَنِّي قَدِ ٱبْتَهَجْتُ بِخَلَاصِكَ. ١ 1
My heart is established in the Lord, my horn is exalted in my God; my mouth is enlarged over my enemies, I have rejoiced in thy salvation.
لَيْسَ قُدُّوسٌ مِثْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ غَيْرَكَ، وَلَيْسَ صَخْرَةٌ مِثْلَ إِلَهِنَا. ٢ 2
For there is none holy as the Lord, and there is none righteous as our God; there is none holy besides thee.
لَا تُكَثِّرُوا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلْعَالِيَ ٱلْمُسْتَعْلِيَ، وَلْتَبْرَحْ وَقَاحَةٌ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمْ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهٌ عَلِيمٌ، وَبِهِ تُوزَنُ ٱلْأَعْمَالُ. ٣ 3
Boast not, and utter not high things; let not high-sounding words come out of your mouth, for the Lord [is] a God of knowledge, and God prepares his own designs.
قِسِيُّ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ تحَطَّمَتْ، وَٱلضُّعَفَاءُ تَمَنْطَقُوا بِٱلْبَأْسِ. ٤ 4
The bow of the mighty has waxed feeble, and the weak have girded themselves with strength.
ٱلشَّبَاعَى آجَرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ بِٱلْخُبْزِ، وَٱلْجِيَاعُ كَفُّوا. حَتَّى أَنَّ ٱلْعَاقِرَ وَلَدَتْ سَبْعَةً، وَكَثِيرَةَ ٱلْبَنِينَ ذَبُلَتْ. ٥ 5
They that were full of bread are brought low; and the hungry have forsaken the land; for the barren has born seven, and she that abounded in children has waxed feeble.
ٱلرَّبُّ يُمِيتُ وَيُحْيِي. يُهْبِطُ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَيُصْعِدُ. (Sheol h7585) ٦ 6
The Lord kills and makes alive; he brings down to the grave, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
ٱلرَّبُّ يُفْقِرُ وَيُغْنِي. يَضَعُ وَيَرْفَعُ. ٧ 7
The Lord makes poor, and makes rich; he brings low, and lifts up.
يُقِيمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ مِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ. يَرْفَعُ ٱلْفَقِيرَ مِنَ ٱلْمَزْبَلَةِ لِلْجُلُوسِ مَعَ ٱلشُّرَفَاءِ وَيُمَلِّكُهُمْ كُرْسِيَّ ٱلْمَجْدِ. لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ أَعْمِدَةَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَقَدْ وَضَعَ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ. ٨ 8
He lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises the needy from the dunghill; to seat him with the princes of the people, and causing them to inherit the throne of glory:
أَرْجُلَ أَتْقِيَائِهِ يَحْرُسُ، وَٱلْأَشْرَارُ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ يَصْمُتُونَ. لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِٱلْقُوَّةِ يَغْلِبُ إِنْسَانٌ. ٩ 9
granting his petition to him that prays; and he blesses the years of the righteous, for by strength cannot man prevail.
مُخَاصِمُو ٱلرَّبِّ يَنْكَسِرُونَ. مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ يُرْعِدُ عَلَيْهِمْ. ٱلرَّبُّ يَدِينُ أَقَاصِيَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيُعْطِي عِزًّا لِمَلِكِهِ، وَيَرْفَعُ قَرْنَ مَسِيحِهِ». ١٠ 10
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
وَذَهَبَ أَلْقَانَةُ إِلَى ٱلرَّامَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَكَانَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ يَخْدِمُ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامَ عَالِي ٱلْكَاهِنِ. ١١ 11
and departed to Armathaim: and the child ministered in the presence of the Lord before Heli the priest.
وَكَانَ بَنُو عَالِي بَنِي بَلِيَّعَالَ، لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا ٱلرَّبَّ ١٢ 12
And the sons of Heli the priest [were] evil sons, not knowing the Lord.
وَلَا حَقَّ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ. كُلَّمَا ذَبَحَ رَجُلٌ ذَبِيحَةً يَجِيءُ غُلَامُ ٱلْكَاهِنِ عِنْدَ طَبْخِ ٱللَّحْمِ، وَمِنْشَالٌ ذُو ثَلَاثَةِ أَسْنَانٍ بِيَدِهِ، ١٣ 13
And the priest's claim from every one of the people that sacrificed [was this: ] the servant of the priest came when the flesh was in seething, and a flesh-hook of three teeth [was] in his hand.
فَيَضْرِبُ فِي ٱلْمِرْحَضَةِ أَوِ ٱلْمِرْجَلِ أَوِ ٱلْمِقْلَى أَوِ ٱلْقِدْرِ. كُلُّ مَا يَصْعَدُ بِهِ ٱلْمِنْشَلُ يَأْخُذُهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ لِنَفْسِهِ. هَكَذَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ بِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْآتِينَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ فِي شِيلُوهَ. ١٤ 14
And he struck it into the great caldron, or into the brazen vessel, or into the pot, and whatever came up with the flesh-hook, the priest took for himself: so they did to all Israel that came to sacrifice to the Lord in Selom.
كَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ مَا يُحْرِقُونَ ٱلشَّحْمَ يَأْتِي غُلَامُ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَيَقُولُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلذَّابِحِ: «أَعْطِ لَحْمًا لِيُشْوَى لِلْكَاهِنِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَأْخُذُ مِنْكَ لَحْمًا مَطْبُوخًا بَلْ نَيْئًا». ١٥ 15
And before the fat was burnt for a sweet savour, the servant of the priest would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, and I will by no means take of thee sodden flesh out of the caldron.
فَيَقُولُ لَهُ ٱلرَّجُلُ: «لِيُحْرِقُوا أَوَّلًا ٱلشَّحْمَ، ثُمَّ خُذْ مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ نَفْسُكَ». فَيَقُولُ لَهُ: «لَا، بَلِ ٱلْآنَ تُعْطِي وَإِلَّا فَآخُذُ غَصْبًا». ١٦ 16
And [if] the man that sacrificed said, First let the fat be burned, as it is fit, and take for thyself of all things which thy soul desires: then he would say, Nay, for thou shalt give it me now; and if not I will take it by force.
فَكَانَتْ خَطِيَّةُ ٱلْغِلْمَانِ عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ ٱسْتَهَانُوا بِتَقْدِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٧ 17
So the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord, for they set at nought the offering of the Lord.
وَكَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ يَخْدِمُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَهُوَ صَبِيٌّ مُتَمَنْطِقٌ بِأَفُودٍ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ. ١٨ 18
And Samuel ministered before the Lord, a child girt with a linen ephod.
وَعَمِلَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ جُبَّةً صَغِيرَةً وَأَصْعَدَتْهَا لَهُ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ عِنْدَ صُعُودِهَا مَعَ رَجُلِهَا لِذَبْحِ ٱلذَّبِيحَةِ ٱلسَّنَوِيَّةِ. ١٩ 19
And his mother made him a little doublet, and brought it to him from year to year, in her going up in company with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
وَبَارَكَ عَالِي أَلْقَانَةَ وَٱمْرَأَتَهُ وَقَالَ: «يَجْعَلْ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ نَسْلًا مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ بَدَلَ ٱلْعَارِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعَارَتْ لِلرَّبِّ». وَذَهَبَا إِلَى مَكَانِهِمَا. ٢٠ 20
And Heli blessed Helcana and his wife, saying The Lord recompense to thee seed of this woman, in return for the loan which thou hast lent to the Lord: and the man returned to his place.
وَلَمَّا ٱفْتَقَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ حَنَّةَ حَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ ثَلَاثَةَ بَنِينَ وَبِنْتَيْنِ. وَكَبُرَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ صَمُوئِيلُ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢١ 21
And the Lord visited Anna, and she bore yet three sons, and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.
وَشَاخَ عَالِي جِدًّا، وَسَمِعَ بِكُلِّ مَا عَمِلَهُ بَنُوهُ بِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُضَاجِعُونَ ٱلنِّسَاءَ ٱلْمُجْتَمِعَاتِ فِي بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ. ٢٢ 22
And Heli [was] very old, and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تَعْمَلُونَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ؟ لِأَنِّي أَسْمَعُ بِأُمُورِكُمُ ٱلْخَبِيثَةِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٢٣ 23
And he said to them, Why do ye according to this thing, which I hear from the mouth of all the people of the Lord?
لَا يَابَنِيَّ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ حَسَنًا ٱلْخَبَرُ ٱلَّذِي أَسْمَعُ. تَجْعَلُونَ شَعْبَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَتَعَدُّونَ. ٢٤ 24
Nay [my] sons, for the report which I hear [is] not good; do not so, for the reports which I hear [are] not good, so that the people do not serve God.
إِذَا أَخْطَأَ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَى إِنْسَانٍ يَدِينُهُ ٱللهُ. فَإِنْ أَخْطَأَ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَمَنْ يُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ؟» وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ أَبِيهِمْ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ شَاءَ أَنْ يُمِيتَهُمْ. ٢٥ 25
If a man should at all sin against another, then shall they pray for him to the Lord; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? But they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would by all means destroy them.
وَأَمَّا ٱلصَّبِيُّ صَمُوئِيلُ فَتَزَايَدَ نُمُوًّا وَصَلَاحًا لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَيْضًا. ٢٦ 26
And the child Samuel advanced, and was in favour with God and with men.
وَجَاءَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ إِلَى عَالِي وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ تَجَلَّيْتُ لِبَيْتِ أَبِيكَ وَهُمْ فِي مِصْرَ فِي بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ، ٢٧ 27
And a man of God came to Heli, and said, Thus says the Lord, I plainly revealed myself to the house of thy father, when they were servants in Egypt to the house of Pharao.
وَٱنْتَخَبْتُهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِي كَاهِنًا لِيَصْعَدَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِي وَيُوقِدَ بَخُورًا وَيَلْبَسَ أَفُودًا أَمَامِي، وَدَفَعْتُ لِبَيْتِ أَبِيكَ جَمِيعَ وَقَائِدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ ٢٨ 28
And I chose the house of thy father out of all the tribes of Israel to minister to me in the priest's office, to go up to my altar, and to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of thy father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel for food.
فَلِمَاذَا تَدُوسُونَ ذَبِيحَتِي وَتَقْدِمَتِي ٱلَّتِي أَمَرْتُ بِهَا فِي ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، وَتُكْرِمُ بَنِيكَ عَلَيَّ لِكَيْ تُسَمِّنُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِأَوَائِلِ كُلِّ تَقْدِمَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبِي؟ ٢٩ 29
And wherefore hast thou looked upon my incense-offering and my meat-offering with a shameless eye, and hast honoured thy sons above me, so that they should bless themselves with the first-fruits of every sacrifice of Israel before me?
لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنِّي قُلْتُ إِنَّ بَيْتَكَ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكَ يَسِيرُونَ أَمَامِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. وَٱلْآنَ يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: حَاشَا لِي! فَإِنِّي أُكْرِمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُكْرِمُونَنِي، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَحْتَقِرُونَنِي يَصْغُرُونَ. ٣٠ 30
Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, I said, Thy house and the house of thy father shall pass before me for ever: but now the Lord says, That be far from me; for I will only honour them that honour me, and he that sets me at nought shall be despised.
هُوَذَا تَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ أَقْطَعُ فِيهَا ذِرَاعَكَ وَذِرَاعَ بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ شَيْخٌ فِي بَيْتِكَ. ٣١ 31
Behold, the days come when I will destroy thy seed and the seed of thy father's house.
وَتَرَى ضِيقَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ فِي كُلِّ مَا يُحْسَنُ بِهِ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَا يَكُونُ شَيْخٌ فِي بَيْتِكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ٣٢ 32
And thou shalt not have an old man in my house for ever.
وَرَجُلٌ لَكَ لَا أَقْطَعُهُ مِنْ أَمَامِ مَذْبَحِي يَكُونُ لِإِكْلَالِ عَيْنَيْكَ وَتَذْوِيبِ نَفْسِكَ. وَجَمِيعُ ذُرِّيَّةِ بَيْتِكَ يَمُوتُونَ شُبَّانًا. ٣٣ 33
And [if] I do not destroy a man of thine from my altar, [it shall be] that his eyes may fail and his soul may perish; and every one that remains in thy house shall fall by the sword of men.
وَهَذِهِ لَكَ عَلَامَةٌ تَأْتِي عَلَى ٱبْنَيْكَ حُفْنِي وَفِينَحَاسَ: فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ يَمُوتَانِ كِلَاهُمَا. ٣٤ 34
And this which shall come upon thy two sons Ophni and Phinees shall be a sign to thee; in one day they shall both die.
وَأُقِيمُ لِنَفْسِي كَاهِنًا أَمِينًا يَعْمَلُ حَسَبَ مَا بِقَلْبِي وَنَفْسِي، وَأَبْنِي لَهُ بَيْتًا أَمِينًا فَيَسِيرُ أَمَامَ مَسِيحِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ٣٥ 35
And I will raise up to myself a faithful priest, who shall do all that is in my heart and in my soul; and I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before my Christ for ever.
وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَبْقَى فِي بَيْتِكَ يَأْتِي لِيَسْجُدَ لَهُ لِأَجْلِ قِطْعَةِ فِضَّةٍ وَرَغِيفِ خُبْزٍ، وَيَقُولُ: ضُمَّنِي إِلَى إِحْدَى وَظَائِفِ ٱلْكَهَنُوتِ لِآكُلَ كِسْرَةَ خُبْزٍ». ٣٦ 36
And it shall come to pass that he that survives in thy house, shall come to do obeisance before him for a little piece of silver, saying, Put me into one of thy priest's offices to eat bread.
