< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 25 >

وَمَاتَ صَمُوئِيلُ، فَٱجْتَمَعَ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَدَبُوهُ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ. وَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَنَزَلَ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ. ١ 1
Now Samuel died. All Israel gathered together and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ فِي مَعُونٍ، وَأَمْلَاكُهُ فِي ٱلْكَرْمَلِ، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّجُلُ عَظِيمًا جِدًّا وَلَهُ ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَأَلْفٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَعْزِ، وَكَانَ يَجُزُّ غَنَمَهُ فِي ٱلْكَرْمَلِ. ٢ 2
There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel. The man was very wealthy. He had three thousand sheep and one thousand goats. He was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
وَٱسْمُ ٱلرَّجُلِ نَابَالُ وَٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ أَبِيجَايِلُ. وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ جَيِّدَةَ ٱلْفَهْمِ وَجَمِيلَةَ ٱلصُّورَةِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلرَّجُلُ فَكَانَ قَاسِيًا وَرَدِيءَ ٱلْأَعْمَالِ، وَهُوَ كَالِبِيٌّ. ٣ 3
The man's name was Nabal, and the name of his wife was Abigail. The woman was intelligent and beautiful in appearance. But the man was harsh and evil in his dealings. He was a descendant of the house of Caleb.
فَسَمِعَ دَاوُدُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَنَّ نَابَالَ يَجُزُّ غَنَمَهُ. ٤ 4
David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
فَأَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ عَشْرَةَ غِلْمَانٍ، وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْغِلْمَانِ: «ٱصْعَدُوا إِلَى ٱلْكَرْمَلِ وَٱدْخُلُوا إِلَى نَابَالَ وَٱسْأَلُوا بِٱسْمِي عَنْ سَلَامَتِهِ، ٥ 5
So David sent ten young men. David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
وَقُولُوا هَكَذَا: حَيِيتَ وَأَنْتَ سَالِمٌ، وَبَيْتُكَ سَالِمٌ، وَكُلُّ مَالِكَ سَالِمٌ. ٦ 6
You will say to him, 'Live in prosperity. Peace to you and peace to your house, and peace be to all that you have.
وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ أَنَّ عِنْدَكَ جَزَّازِينَ. حِينَ كَانَ رُعَاتُكَ مَعَنَا، لَمْ نُؤْذِهِمْ وَلَمْ يُفْقَدْ لَهُمْ شَيْءٌ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي كَانُوا فِيهَا فِي ٱلْكَرْمَلِ. ٧ 7
I hear that you have shearers. Your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing the whole time they were in Carmel.
اِسْأَلْ غِلْمَانَكَ فَيُخْبِرُوكَ. فَلْيَجِدِ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ جِئْنَا فِي يَوْمٍ طَيِّبٍ، فَأَعْطِ مَا وَجَدَتْهُ يَدُكَ لِعَبِيدِكَ وَلِٱبْنِكَ دَاوُدَ». ٨ 8
Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Now let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you have on hand to your servants and to your son David.'”
فَجَاءَ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ وَكَلَّمُوا نَابَالَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ بِٱسْمِ دَاوُدَ وَكَفُّوا. ٩ 9
When David's young men arrived, they said all of this to Nabal on David's behalf and then waited.
فَأَجَابَ نَابَالُ عَبِيدَ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ هُوَ دَاوُدُ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ ٱبْنُ يَسَّى؟ قَدْ كَثُرَ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْعَبِيدُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقْحَصُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَمَامِ سَيِّدِهِ. ١٠ 10
Nabal answered David's servants, “Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters.
أَآخُذُ خُبْزِي وَمَائِي وَذَبِيحِيَ ٱلَّذِي ذَبَحْتُ لِجَازِّيَّ وَأُعْطِيهِ لِقَوْمٍ لَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُمْ؟». ١١ 11
Should I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who come from I do not know where?”
فَتَحَوَّلَ غِلْمَانُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى طَرِيقِهِمْ وَرَجَعُوا وَجَاءُوا وَأَخْبَرُوهُ حَسَبَ كُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ. ١٢ 12
So David's young men turned away and came back, and told him everything that was said.
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِرِجَالِهِ: «لِيَتَقَلَّدْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ سَيْفَهُ». فَتَقَلَّدَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سَيْفَهُ، وَتَقَلَّدَ دَاوُدُ أَيْضًا سَيْفَهُ. وَصَعِدَ وَرَاءَ دَاوُدَ نَحْوُ أَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ، وَمَكَثَ مِئَتَانِ مَعَ ٱلْأَمْتِعَةِ. ١٣ 13
David said to his men, “Every man strap on his sword.” So every man strapped on his sword. David also strapped on his sword. About four hundred men followed after David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.
فَأَخْبَرَ أَبِيجَايِلَ ٱمْرَأَةَ نَابَالَ غُلَامٌ مِنَ ٱلْغِلْمَانِ قَائِلًا: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ أَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا مِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِيُبَارِكُوا سَيِّدَنَا فَثَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ. ١٤ 14
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife; he said, “David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master, and he insulted them.
وَٱلرِّجَالُ مُحْسِنُونَ إِلَيْنَا جِدًّا، فَلَمْ نُؤْذَ وَلَا فُقِدَ مِنَّا شَيْءٌ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ تَرَدُّدِنَا مَعَهُمْ وَنَحْنُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. ١٥ 15
Yet the men were very good to us. We were not harmed and did not miss anything as long as we went with them when we were in the fields.
كَانُوا سُورًا لَنَا لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي كُنَّا فِيهَا مَعَهُمْ نَرْعَى ٱلْغَنَمَ. ١٦ 16
They were a wall to us both day and night, all the while we were with them tending the sheep.
وَٱلْآنَ ٱعْلَمِي وَٱنْظُرِي مَاذَا تَعْمَلِينَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّرَّ قَدْ أُعِدَّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا وَعَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ لَئِيمٍ لَا يُمْكِنُ ٱلْكَلَامُ مَعَهُ». ١٧ 17
Therefore know this and consider what you will do, for evil is plotted against our master, and against his whole house. He is such a worthless fellow that one cannot reason with him.”
فَبَادَرَتْ أَبِيجَايِلُ وَأَخَذَتْ مِئَتَيْ رَغِيفِ خُبْزٍ، وَزِقَّيْ خَمْرٍ، وَخَمْسَةَ خِرْفَانٍ مُهَيَّأَةً، وَخَمْسَ كَيْلَاتٍ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِيكِ، وَمِئَتَيْ عُنْقُودٍ مِنَ ٱلزَّبِيبِ، وَمِئَتَيْ قُرْصٍ مِنَ ٱلتِّينِ، وَوَضَعَتْهَا عَلَى ٱلْحَمِيرِ. ١٨ 18
Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves, two bottles of wine, five sheep already prepared, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
وَقَالَتْ لِغِلْمَانِهَا: «ٱعْبُرُوا قُدَّامِي. هَأَنَذَا جَائِيَةٌ وَرَاءَكُمْ». وَلَمْ تُخْبِرْ رَجُلَهَا نَابَالَ. ١٩ 19
She said to her young men, “Go on before me, and I will come after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
وَفِيمَا هِيَ رَاكِبَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْحِمَارِ وَنَازِلَةٌ فِي سُتْرَةِ ٱلْجَبَلِ، إِذَا بِدَاوُدَ وَرِجَالِهِ مُنْحَدِرُونَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهَا، فَصَادَفَتْهُمْ. ٢٠ 20
As she rode on her donkey and came down by the cover of the mountain, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.
وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «إِنَّمَا بَاطِلًا حَفِظْتُ كُلَّ مَا لِهَذَا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، فَلَمْ يُفْقَدْ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا لَهُ شَيْءٌ، فَكَافَأَنِي شَرًّا بَدَلَ خَيْرٍ. ٢١ 21
Now David had said, “Surely in vain have I guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him, and he has returned me evil for good.
هَكَذَا يَصْنَعُ ٱللهُ لِأَعْدَاءِ دَاوُدَ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ، إِنْ أَبْقَيْتُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا لَهُ إِلَى ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ بَائِلًا بِحَائِطٍ». ٢٢ 22
May God do so to me, David, and more also, if by the morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him.”
وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَبِيجَايِلُ دَاوُدَ أَسْرَعَتْ وَنَزَلَتْ عَنِ ٱلْحِمَارِ، وَسَقَطَتْ أَمَامَ دَاوُدَ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا وَسَجَدَتْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٢٣ 23
When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got down from her donkey and lay before David facedown and bowed herself to the ground.
وَسَقَطَتْ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ وَقَالَتْ: «عَلَيَّ أَنَا يَا سَيِّدِي هَذَا ٱلذَّنْبُ، وَدَعْ أَمَتَكَ تَتَكَلَّمُ فِي أُذُنَيْكَ وَٱسْمَعْ كَلَامَ أَمَتِكَ. ٢٤ 24
She lay at his feet and said, “On me alone, my master, be the guilt. Please let your servant speak to you, and listen to the words of your servant.
لَا يَضَعَنَّ سَيِّدِي قَلْبَهُ عَلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱللَّئِيمِ هَذَا، عَلَى نَابَالَ، لِأَنَّ كَٱسْمِهِ هَكَذَا هُوَ. نَابَالُ ٱسْمُهُ وَٱلْحَمَاقَةُ عِنْدَهُ. وَأَنَا أَمَتَكَ لَمْ أَرَ غِلْمَانَ سَيِّدِي ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلْتَهُمْ. ٢٥ 25
Let not my master regard this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I your servant did not see the young men of my master, whom you sent.
وَٱلْآنَ يَا سَيِّدِي، حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ، إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ مَنَعَكَ عَنْ إِتْيَانِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ وَٱنْتِقَامِ يَدِكَ لِنَفْسِكَ. وَٱلْآنَ فَلْيَكُنْ كَنَابَالَ أَعْدَاؤُكَ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ لِسَيِّدِي. ٢٦ 26
Now then, my master, as Yahweh lives, and as you live, since Yahweh has restrained you from bloodshed, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now let your enemies, and those who seek to do evil to my master, be like Nabal.
وَٱلْآنَ هَذِهِ ٱلْبَرَكَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَتَتْ بِهَا جَارِيَتُكَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي فَلْتُعْطَ لِلْغِلْمَانِ ٱلسَّائِرِينَ وَرَاءَ سَيِّدِي. ٢٧ 27
Now let this present that your servant has brought to my master be given to the young men who follow my master.
وَٱصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ أَمَتِكَ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَصْنَعُ لِسَيِّدِي بَيْتًا أَمِينًا، لِأَنَّ سَيِّدِي يُحَارِبُ حُرُوبَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يُوجَدْ فِيكَ شَرٌّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِكَ. ٢٨ 28
Please forgive the trespass of your servant, for Yahweh will certainly make my master a sure house, because my master is fighting the battles of Yahweh; and evil will not be found in you so long as you live.
وَقَدْ قَامَ رَجُلٌ لِيُطَارِدَكَ وَيَطْلُبَ نَفْسَكَ، وَلَكِنْ نَفْسُ سَيِّدِي لِتَكُنْ مَحْزُومَةً فِي حُزْمَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ مَعَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. وَأَمَّا نَفْسُ أَعْدَائِكَ فَلْيَرْمِ بِهَا كَمَا مِنْ وَسَطِ كَفَّةِ ٱلْمِقْلَاعِ. ٢٩ 29
Though men rise up to pursue you to take your life, yet the life of my master will be bound in the bundle of the living by Yahweh your God; and he will sling away the lives of your enemies, as from the pocket of a sling.
وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَمَا يَصْنَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِسَيِّدِي حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ، وَيُقِيمُكَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٣٠ 30
Yahweh will have done for my master everything he promised you, and has appointed you leader over Israel.
أَنَّهُ لَا تَكُونُ لَكَ هَذِهِ مَصْدَمَةً وَمَعْثَرَةَ قَلْبٍ لِسَيِّدِي، أَنَّكَ قَدْ سَفَكْتَ دَمًا عَفْوًا، أَوْ أَنَّ سَيِّدِي قَدِ ٱنْتَقَمَ لِنَفْسِهِ. وَإِذَا أَحْسَنَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى سَيِّدِي فَٱذْكُرْ أَمَتَكَ». ٣١ 31
This will not be a staggering burden for you—that you have poured out innocent blood, or because my master attempted to rescue himself. For when Yahweh will do good for my master, remember your servant.”
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَبِيجَايِلَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَكِ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِي، ٣٢ 32
David said to Abigail, “May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be blessed, he who sent you to meet me today.
وَمُبَارَكٌ عَقْلُكِ، وَمُبَارَكَةٌ أَنْتِ، لِأَنَّكِ مَنَعْتِنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنْ إِتْيَانِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ وَٱنْتِقَامِ يَدِي لِنَفْسِي. ٣٣ 33
Your wisdom is blessed and you are blessed, because you have kept me today from bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand!
وَلَكِنْ حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي مَنَعَنِي عَنْ أَذِيَّتِكِ، إِنَّكِ لَوْ لَمْ تُبَادِرِي وَتَأْتِي لِٱسْتِقْبَالِي، لَمَا أُبْقِيَ لِنَابَالَ إِلَى ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ بَائِلٌ بِحَائِطٍ». ٣٤ 34
For in truth, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, he who has kept me from hurting you, unless you had hurried to come meet me, there would certainly have not been left to Nabal so much as one male baby by morning.”
فَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ يَدِهَا مَا أَتَتْ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهَا: «ٱصْعَدِي بِسَلَامٍ إِلَى بَيْتِكِ. اُنْظُرِي. قَدْ سَمِعْتُ لِصَوْتِكِ وَرَفَعْتُ وَجْهَكِ». ٣٥ 35
So David received from her hand what she had brought him; he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house; see, I have listened to your voice and have accepted you.”
فَجَاءَتْ أَبِيجَايِلُ إِلَى نَابَالَ وَإِذَا وَلِيمَةٌ عِنْدَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ كَوَلِيمَةِ مَلِكٍ. وَكَانَ نَابَالُ قَدْ طَابَ قَلْبُهُ وَكَانَ سَكْرَانَ جِدًّا، فَلَمْ تُخْبِرْهُ بِشَيْءٍ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ إِلَى ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ. ٣٦ 36
Abigail went back to Nabal; behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. So she told him nothing at all until the morning light.
وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ ٱلْخَمْرِ مِنْ نَابَالَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَمَاتَ قَلْبُهُ دَاخِلَهُ وَصَارَ كَحَجَرٍ. ٣٧ 37
It came about in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.
وَبَعْدَ نَحْوِ عَشْرَةَ أَيَّامٍ ضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ نَابَالَ فَمَاتَ. ٣٨ 38
It came about ten days later that Yahweh attacked Nabal so that he died.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ نَابَالَ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي ٱنْتَقَمَ نَقْمَةَ تَعْيِيرِي مِنْ يَدِ نَابَالَ، وَأَمْسَكَ عَبْدَهُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَرَدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ شَرَّ نَابَالَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ». وَأَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَ أَبِيجَايِلَ لِيَتَّخِذَهَا لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً. ٣٩ 39
When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “May Yahweh be blessed, who has taken up the cause of my insult from the hand of Nabal and has kept back his servant from evil. He has turned Nabal's evil action back on his own head.” Then David sent and spoke to Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.
فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى أَبِيجَايِلَ إِلَى ٱلْكَرْمَلِ وَكَلَّمُوهَا قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنَا إِلَيْكِ لِكَيْ نَتَّخِذَكِ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً». ٤٠ 40
When David's servants had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her and said, “David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.”
فَقَامَتْ وَسَجَدَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَقَالَتْ: «هُوَذَا أَمَتُكَ جَارِيَةٌ لِغَسْلِ أَرْجُلِ عَبِيدِ سَيِّدِي». ٤١ 41
She arose, bowed herself with her face to the ground, and said, “See, your female servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my master.”
ثُمَّ بَادَرَتْ وَقَامَتْ أَبِيجَايِلُ وَرَكِبَتِ ٱلْحِمَارَ مَعَ خَمْسِ فَتَيَاتٍ لَهَا ذَاهِبَاتٍ وَرَاءَهَا، وَسَارَتْ وَرَاءَ رُسُلِ دَاوُدَ وَصَارَتْ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً. ٤٢ 42
Abigail hurried and arose, and rode on a donkey with five servant girls of hers who followed her; and she followed David's messengers and became his wife.
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ دَاوُدُ أَخِينُوعَمَ مِنْ يَزْرَعِيلَ فَكَانَتَا لَهُ كِلْتَاهُمَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ. ٤٣ 43
Now David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel as a wife; both of them became his wives.
فَأَعْطَى شَاوُلُ مِيكَالَ ٱبْنَتَهُ ٱمْرَأَةَ دَاوُدَ لِفَلْطِي بْنِ لَايِشَ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ جَلِّيمَ. ٤٤ 44
Also, Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Paltiel son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
