صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 22

١ 1 فَذَهَبَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَنَجَا إِلَى مَغَارَةِ عَدُلَّامَ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ إِخْوَتُهُ وَجَمِيعُ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ نَزَلُوا إِلَيْهِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ.

And he went David from there and he escaped to [the] cave of Adullam and they heard brothers his and all [the] household of father his and they went down to him there towards.

٢ 2 وَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مُتَضَايِقٍ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، وَكُلُّ رَجُلٍ مُرِّ ٱلنَّفْسِ، فَكَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَئِيسًا. وَكَانَ مَعَهُ نَحْوُ أَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ.

And they gathered together to him every man of distress and every man whom [belonged] to him a creditor and every man bitter of soul and he became over them a commander and they were with him about four hundred man.

٣ 3 وَذَهَبَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى مِصْفَاةِ مُوآبَ، وَقَالَ لِمَلِكِ مُوآبَ: «لِيَخْرُجْ أَبِي وَأُمِّي إِلَيْكُمْ حَتَّى أَعْلَمَ مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ لِيَ ٱللهُ».

And he went David from there Mizpah of Moab and he said - to [the] king of Moab let him go out please father my and mother my with you until that I will know what? will he do for me God.

٤ 4 فَوَدَعَهُمَا عِنْدَ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ، فَأَقَامَا عِنْدَهُ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ إِقَامَةِ دَاوُدَ فِي ٱلْحِصْنِ.

And he led them with [the] presence of [the] king of Moab and they remained with him all [the] days of [the] being of David in the stronghold.

٥ 5 فَقَالَ جَادُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ لِدَاوُدَ: «لَا تُقِمْ فِي ٱلْحِصْنِ. ٱذْهَبْ وَٱدْخُلْ أَرْضَ يَهُوذَا». فَذَهَبَ دَاوُدُ وَجَاءَ إِلَى وَعْرِ حَارِثٍ.

And he said Gad the prophet to David not you must remain in the stronghold go and you will go for yourself [the] land of Judah and he went David and he came [the] forest of Hereth.

٦ 6 وَسَمِعَ شَاوُلُ أَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱشْتَهَرَ دَاوُدُ وَٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ. وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ مُقِيمًا فِي جِبْعَةَ تَحْتَ ٱلْأَثْلَةِ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ وَرُمْحُهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَجَمِيعُ عَبِيدِهِ وُقُوفًا لَدَيْهِ.

And he heard Saul that he was known David and [the] men who [were] with him and Saul [was] sitting at Gibeah under the tamarisk tree at the high place and spear his [was] in hand his and all servants his [were] standing with him.

٧ 7 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِعَبِيدِهِ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ لَدَيْهِ: «ٱسْمَعُوا يَابَنْيَامِينِيُّونَ: هَلْ يُعْطِيكُمْ جَمِيعَكُمُ ٱبْنُ يَسَّى حُقُولًا وَكُرُومًا؟ وَهَلْ يَجْعَلُكُمْ جَمِيعَكُمْ رُؤَسَاءَ أُلُوفٍ وَرُؤَسَاءَ مِئَاتٍ،

And he said Saul to servants his who were standing with him listen please O Ben-jaminites also? to all of you will he give [the] son of Jesse fields and vineyards all of you will he appoint commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.

٨ 8 حَتَّى فَتَنْتُمْ كُلُّكُمْ عَلَيَّ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُخْبِرُنِي بِعَهْدِ ٱبْنِي مَعَ ٱبْنِ يَسَّى، وَلَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يَحْزَنُ عَلَيَّ أَوْ يُخْبِرُنِي بِأَنَّ ٱبْنِي قَدْ أَقَامَ عَبْدِي عَلَيَّ كَمِينًا كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ؟»

For you have conspired all of you on me and there not [is one who] opens ear my when made son my with [the] son of Jesse and not [was] feeling pain any of you on me and opening ear my that he has raised up son my servant my on me to an ambusher as the day this.

٩ 9 فَأَجَابَ دُوَاغُ ٱلْأَدُومِيُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ مُوَكَّلًا عَلَى عَبِيدِ شَاوُلَ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ٱبْنَ يَسَّى آتِيًا إِلَى نُوبَ إِلَى أَخِيمَالِكَ بْنِ أَخِيطُوبَ.

And he answered Doeg the Edomite and he [was] standing with [the] servants of Saul and he said I saw [the] son of Jesse coming Nob towards to Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub.

١٠ 10 فَسَأَلَ لَهُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَعْطَاهُ زَادًا. وَسَيْفَ جُلْيَاتَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ».

And he enquired for him by Yahweh and food he gave to him and [the] sword of Goliath the Philistine he gave to him.

١١ 11 فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَٱسْتَدْعَى أَخِيمَالِكَ بْنَ أَخِيطُوبَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَجَمِيعَ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي نُوبٍ، فَجَاءُوا كُلُّهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ.

And he sent the king to summon Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub the priest and all [the] house of father his the priests who [were] at Nob and they came all of them to the king.

١٢ 12 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «ٱسْمَعْ يَا ٱبْنَ أَخِيطُوبَ». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا يَاسَيِّدِي».

And he said Saul listen please O son of Ahitub and he said here [am] I O lord my.

١٣ 13 فَقَالَ لَهُ شَاوُلُ: «لِمَاذَا فَتَنْتُمْ عَلَيَّ أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُ يَسَّى بِإِعْطَائِكَ إِيَّاهُ خُبْزًا وَسَيْفًا، وَسَأَلْتَ لَهُ مِنَ ٱللهِ لِيَقُومَ عَلَيَّ كَامِنًا كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ؟».

And he said (to him *Qk) Saul why? have you conspired on me you and [the] son of Jesse when giving you to him bread and a sword and [you] enquired for him by God to rise up against me to an ambusher as the day this.

١٤ 14 فَأَجَابَ أَخِيمَالِكُ ٱلْمَلِكَ وَقَالَ: «وَمَنْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِكَ مِثْلُ دَاوُدَ، أَمِينٌ وَصِهْرُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَصَاحِبُ سِرِّكَ وَمُكَرَّمٌ فِي بَيْتِكَ؟

And he answered Ahimelech the king and he said and who? among all servants your [is] like David faithful and [the] son-in-law of the king and [one who] turns aside to bodyguard your and honored in household your.

١٥ 15 فَهَلِ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱبْتَدَأْتُ أَسْأَلُ لَهُ مِنَ ٱللهِ؟ حَاشَا لِي! لَا يَنْسِبِ ٱلْمَلِكُ شَيْئًا لِعَبْدِهِ وَلَا لِجَمِيعِ بَيْتِ أَبِي، لِأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كُلِّ هَذَا صَغِيرًا أَوْ كَبِيرًا».

This day did I begin? (to enquire *Qk) for him by God far be it to me may not he put the king against servant his anything against all [the] house of father my for not he knew servant your in all this anything small or great.

١٦ 16 فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ يَا أَخِيمَالِكُ أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ».

And he said the king certainly you will die O Ahimelech you and all [the] house of father your.

١٧ 17 وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلسُّعَاةِ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ لَدَيْهِ: «دُورُوا وَٱقْتُلُوا كَهَنَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّ يَدَهُمْ أَيْضًا مَعَ دَاوُدَ، وَلِأَنَّهُمْ عَلِمُوا أَنَّهُ هَارِبٌ وَلَمْ يُخْبِرُونِي». فَلَمْ يَرْضَ عَبِيدُ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَنْ يَمُدُّوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ لِيَقَعُوا بِكَهَنَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And he said the king to the runners who were standing with him turn round and put to death - [the] priests of Yahweh for also hand their [is] with David and for they knew that [was] fleeing he and not they uncovered (ear my *QK) and not they were willing [the] servants of the king to stretch out hand their to fall on [the] priests of Yahweh.

١٨ 18 فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِدُوَاغَ: «دُرْ أَنْتَ وَقَعْ بِٱلْكَهَنَةِ». فَدَارَ دُوَاغُ ٱلْأَدُومِيُّ وَوَقَعَ هُوَ بِٱلْكَهَنَةِ، وَقَتَلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ خَمْسَةً وَثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا لَابِسِي أَفُودِ كَتَّانٍ.

And he said the king (to Doeg *Qk) turn round you and fall on the priests and he turned round (Doeg *Qk) the Edomite and he fell he on the priests and he killed - on the day that eighty and five man [who] carried an ephod of linen.

١٩ 19 وَضَرَبَ نُوبَ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ وَٱلرُّضُعَ وَٱلثِّيرَانَ وَٱلْحَمِيرَ وَٱلْغَنَمَ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ.

And Nob [the] city of the priests he struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword from man and unto woman from child and unto sucking child and ox[en] and donkey[s] and sheep to [the] mouth of [the] sword.

٢٠ 20 فَنَجَا وَلَدٌ وَاحِدٌ لِأَخِيمَالِكَ بْنِ أَخِيطُوبَ ٱسْمُهُ أَبِيَاثَارُ وَهَرَبَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ.

And he escaped a son one of Ahimelech [the] son of Ahitub and name his [was] Abiathar and he fled after David.

٢١ 21 وَأَخْبَرَ أَبِيَاثَارُ دَاوُدَ بِأَنَّ شَاوُلَ قَدْ قَتَلَ كَهَنَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And he told Abiathar to David that he had killed Saul [the] priests of Yahweh.

٢٢ 22 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَبِيَاثَارَ: «عَلِمْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ كَانَ دُوَاغُ ٱلْأَدُومِيُّ هُنَاكَ، أَنَّهُ يُخْبِرُ شَاوُلَ. أَنَا سَبَّبْتُ لِجَمِيعِ أَنْفُسِ بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ.

And he said David to Abiathar I knew on the day that that [was] there (Doeg *Qk) the Edomite that certainly he will tell to Saul I I have turned in every life of [the] house of father your.

٢٣ 23 أَقِمْ مَعِي. لَا تَخَفْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَطْلُبُ نَفْسِي يَطْلُبُ نَفْسَكَ، وَلَكِنَّكَ عِنْدِي مَحْفُوظٌ».

Remain! with me may not you be afraid for [the one] who he seeks life my he seeks life your for [are] in good care you with me.
