صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 24
| وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ شَاوُلُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ عَيْنِ جَدْيٍ». | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass when Saul returned from pursuing after the Philistines, that it was reported to him, saying, David [is] in the wilderness of Engaddi.
| فَأَخَذَ شَاوُلُ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ مُنْتَخَبِينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَذَهَبَ يَطْلُبُ دَاوُدَ وَرِجَالَهُ عَلَى صُخُورِ ٱلْوُعُولِ. | ٢ 2 |
And he took with him three thousand men, chosen out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men in front of Saddaeem.
| وَجَاءَ إِلَى صِيَرِ ٱلْغَنَمِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ كَهْفٌ فَدَخَلَ شَاوُلُ لِكَيْ يُغَطِّيَ رِجْلَيْهِ، وَدَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ كَانُوا جُلُوسًا فِي مَغَابِنِ ٱلْكَهْفِ. | ٣ 3 |
And he came to the flocks of sheep that were by the way, and there was a cave there; and Saul went in to make preparation, and David and his men were sitting in the inner part of the cave.
| فَقَالَ رِجَالُ دَاوُدَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَكَ عَنْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَدْفَعُ عَدُوَّكَ لِيَدِكَ فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». فَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَقَطَعَ طَرَفَ جُبَّةِ شَاوُلَ سِرًّا. | ٤ 4 |
And the men of David said to him, Behold, this [is] the day of which the Lord spoke to thee, that he would deliver thine enemy into thy hands; and thou shalt do to him as [it is] good in thy sight. So David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul's garment secretly.
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ قَلْبَ دَاوُدَ ضَرَبَهُ عَلَى قَطْعِهِ طَرَفَ جُبَّةِ شَاوُلَ، | ٥ 5 |
And it came to pass after this that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off the skirt of his garment.
| فَقَالَ لِرِجَالِهِ: «حَاشَا لِي مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ بِسَيِّدِي، بِمَسِيحِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَمُدَّ يَدِي إِلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّهُ مَسِيحُ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ». | ٦ 6 |
And David said to his men, The Lord forbid it me, that I should do this ting to my lord the anointed of the Lord, to lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of the Lord.
| فَوَبَّخَ دَاوُدُ رِجَالَهُ بِٱلْكَلَامِ، وَلَمْ يَدَعْهُمْ يَقُومُونَ عَلَى شَاوُلَ. وَأَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَقَامَ مِنَ ٱلْكَهْفِ وَذَهَبَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
So David persuaded his men by [his] words, and did not suffer them to arise and slay Saul: and Saul arose and went his way.
| ثُمَّ قَامَ دَاوُدُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْكَهْفِ وَنَادَى وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ قَائِلًا: «يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ». وَلَمَّا ٱلْتَفَتَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى وَرَائِهِ، خَرَّ دَاوُدُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ. | ٨ 8 |
And David rose up [and went] after him out of the cave: and David cried after Saul, saying, [My] lord, [O] king! and Saul looked behind him, and David bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance to him.
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْمَعُ كَلَامَ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلْقَائِلِينَ: هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ يَطْلُبُ أَذِيَّتَكَ؟ | ٩ 9 |
And David said to Saul, Why dost thou hearken to the words of the people, saying, Behold, David seeks thy life?
| هُوَذَا قَدْ رَأَتْ عَيْنَاكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَذَا كَيْفَ دَفَعَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱليَومَ لِيَدِي فِي ٱلْكَهْفِ، وَقِيلَ لِي أَنْ أَقْتُلَكَ، وَلَكِنَّنِي أَشْفَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَقُلْتُ: لَا أَمُدُّ يَدِي إِلَى سَيِّدِي، لِأَنَّهُ مَسِيحُ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ. | ١٠ 10 |
Behold, thine eyes have seen this day how that the Lord has delivered thee this day into my hands in the cave; and I would not slay thee, but spared thee, and said, I will not lift up my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord's anointed.
| فَٱنْظُرْ يَا أَبِي، ٱنْظُرْ أَيْضًا طَرَفَ جُبَّتِكَ بِيَدِي. فَمِنْ قَطْعِي طَرَفَ جُبَّتِكَ وَعَدَمِ قَتْلِي إِيَّاكَ ٱعْلَمْ وَٱنْظُرْ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي يَدِي شَرٌّ وَلَا جُرْمٌ، وَلَمْ أُخْطِئْ إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَصِيدُ نَفْسِي لِتَأْخُذَهَا. | ١١ 11 |
And behold, the skirt of thy mantle [is] in my hand, I cut off the skirt, and did not slay thee: know then and see to-day, there is no evil in my hand, nor impiety, nor rebellion; and I have not sinned against thee, yet thou layest snares for my soul to take it.
| يَقْضِي ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ وَيَنْتَقِمُ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْكَ، وَلَكِنْ يَدِي لَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ. | ١٢ 12 |
The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord requite thee on thyself: but my hand shall not be upon thee.
| كَمَا يَقُولُ مَثَلُ ٱلْقُدَمَاءِ: مِنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَخْرُجُ شَرٌّ. وَلَكِنْ يَدِي لَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ. | ١٣ 13 |
As the old proverb says, Transgression will proceed from the wicked ones: but my hand shall not be upon thee.
| وَرَاءَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ وَرَاءَ مَنْ أَنْتَ مُطَارِدٌ؟ وَرَاءَ كَلْبٍ مَيْتٍ! وَرَاءَ بُرْغُوثٍ وَاحِدٍ! | ١٤ 14 |
And now after whom dost thou come forth, O king of Israel? After whom dost thou pursue? After a dead dog, and after a flea?
| فَيَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلدَّيَّانَ وَيَقْضِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَيَرَى وَيُحَاكِمُ مُحَاكَمَتِي، وَيُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ يَدِكَ». | ١٥ 15 |
The Lord be judge and umpire between me and thee, the Lord look upon and judge my cause, and rescue me out of thy hand.
| فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَى شَاوُلَ، قَالَ شَاوُلُ: «أَهَذَا صَوْتُكَ يَا ٱبْنِي دَاوُدُ؟» وَرَفَعَ شَاوُلُ صَوْتَهُ وَبَكَى. | ١٦ 16 |
And it came to pass when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, [Is] this thy voice, Son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَنْتَ أَبَرُّ مِنِّي، لِأَنَّكَ جَازَيْتَنِي خَيْرًا وَأَنَا جَازَيْتُكَ شَرًّا. | ١٧ 17 |
And Saul said to David, Thou [art] more righteous that I, for thou hast recompensed me good, but I have recompensed thee evil.
| وَقَدْ أَظْهَرْتَ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنَّكَ عَمِلْتَ بِي خَيْرًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَنِي بِيَدِكَ وَلَمْ تَقْتُلْنِي. | ١٨ 18 |
And thou hast told me to-day what good thou hast done me, how the Lord shut me up into thy hands to-day, and thou didst not slay me.
| فَإِذَا وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ عَدُوَّهُ، فَهَلْ يُطْلِقُهُ فِي طَرِيقِ خَيْرٍ؟ فَٱلرَّبُّ يُجَازِيكَ خَيْرًا عَمَّا فَعَلْتَهُ لِي ٱلْيَوْمَ هَذَا. | ١٩ 19 |
And if any one should find his enemy in distress, and should send him forth in a good way, then the Lord will reward him good, as thou has done this day.
| وَٱلْآنَ فَإِنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَكُونُ مَلِكًا وَتَثْبُتُ بِيَدِكَ مَمْلَكَةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And now, behold, I know that thou shalt surely reign, and the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand.
| فَٱحْلِفْ لِي ٱلْآنَ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِنَّكَ لَا تَقْطَعُ نَسْلِي مِنْ بَعْدِي، وَلَا تُبِيدُ ٱسْمِي مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي». | ٢١ 21 |
Now then swear to me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seed after me, that thou wilt not blot out my name from the house of my father.
| فَحَلَفَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَأَمَّا دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ فَصَعِدُوا إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
So David swore to Saul: and Saul departed to his place, and David and his men went up to the strong-hold of Messera.
