< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 25 >

وَمَاتَ صَمُوئِيلُ، فَٱجْتَمَعَ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَدَبُوهُ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ. وَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَنَزَلَ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ. ١ 1
And Samuel died; and all the Israelites assembled, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, 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
And [there] was a man in Maon, whose possessions [were] in Carmel; and the man [was] very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and 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
Now the name of the man [was] Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and [she was] a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man [was] churlish and evil in his doings; and he [was] of the house of Caleb.
فَسَمِعَ دَاوُدُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَنَّ نَابَالَ يَجُزُّ غَنَمَهُ. ٤ 4
And 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
And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
وَقُولُوا هَكَذَا: حَيِيتَ وَأَنْتَ سَالِمٌ، وَبَيْتُكَ سَالِمٌ، وَكُلُّ مَالِكَ سَالِمٌ. ٦ 6
And thus shall ye say to him that liveth [in prosperity], Peace [be] both to thee, and peace [be] to thy house, and peace [be] to all that thou hast.
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
And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missing to them, all the while 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 thy young men, and they will show thee. Wherefore let the young men find favor in thy eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatever cometh to thy hand, to thy servants, and to thy son David.
فَجَاءَ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ وَكَلَّمُوا نَابَالَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ بِٱسْمِ دَاوُدَ وَكَفُّوا. ٩ 9
And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal in the name of David, according to all these words, and ceased.
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
And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jesse? there are many servants in these days that break away every man from his master.
أَآخُذُ خُبْزِي وَمَائِي وَذَبِيحِيَ ٱلَّذِي ذَبَحْتُ لِجَازِّيَّ وَأُعْطِيهِ لِقَوْمٍ لَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُمْ؟». ١١ 11
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] to men, whom I know not whence they [are]?
فَتَحَوَّلَ غِلْمَانُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى طَرِيقِهِمْ وَرَجَعُوا وَجَاءُوا وَأَخْبَرُوهُ حَسَبَ كُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ. ١٢ 12
So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all these sayings.
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
And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the goods.
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, saying, Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed at them.
وَٱلرِّجَالُ مُحْسِنُونَ إِلَيْنَا جِدًّا، فَلَمْ نُؤْذَ وَلَا فُقِدَ مِنَّا شَيْءٌ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ تَرَدُّدِنَا مَعَهُمْ وَنَحْنُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. ١٥ 15
But the men [were] very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant 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 by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
وَٱلْآنَ ٱعْلَمِي وَٱنْظُرِي مَاذَا تَعْمَلِينَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّرَّ قَدْ أُعِدَّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا وَعَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ لَئِيمٍ لَا يُمْكِنُ ٱلْكَلَامُ مَعَهُ». ١٧ 17
Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do: for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he [is such] a son of Belial, that [a man] cannot speak to 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 made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid [them] on asses.
وَقَالَتْ لِغِلْمَانِهَا: «ٱعْبُرُوا قُدَّامِي. هَأَنَذَا جَائِيَةٌ وَرَاءَكُمْ». وَلَمْ تُخْبِرْ رَجُلَهَا نَابَالَ. ١٩ 19
And she said to her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
وَفِيمَا هِيَ رَاكِبَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْحِمَارِ وَنَازِلَةٌ فِي سُتْرَةِ ٱلْجَبَلِ، إِذَا بِدَاوُدَ وَرِجَالِهِ مُنْحَدِرُونَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهَا، فَصَادَفَتْهُمْ. ٢٠ 20
And it was [so], [as] she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and behold, David and his men came down over against 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 kept all that this [man] hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that [pertained] to him: and he hath requited me evil for good.
هَكَذَا يَصْنَعُ ٱللهُ لِأَعْدَاءِ دَاوُدَ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ، إِنْ أَبْقَيْتُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا لَهُ إِلَى ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ بَائِلًا بِحَائِطٍ». ٢٢ 22
So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that [pertain] to him by the morning light any male person.)
وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَبِيجَايِلُ دَاوُدَ أَسْرَعَتْ وَنَزَلَتْ عَنِ ٱلْحِمَارِ، وَسَقَطَتْ أَمَامَ دَاوُدَ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا وَسَجَدَتْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٢٣ 23
And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, 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
And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me [let this] iniquity [be]: and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thy audience, and hear the words of thy handmaid.
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 lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, [even] Nabal; for as his name [is], so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
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 therefore, my lord, [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withheld thee from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging thyself with thy own hand, now let thy enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
وَٱلْآنَ هَذِهِ ٱلْبَرَكَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَتَتْ بِهَا جَارِيَتُكَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي فَلْتُعْطَ لِلْغِلْمَانِ ٱلسَّائِرِينَ وَرَاءَ سَيِّدِي. ٢٧ 27
And now this blessing which thy handmaid hath brought to my lord, let it even be given to the young men that follow my lord.
وَٱصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ أَمَتِكَ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَصْنَعُ لِسَيِّدِي بَيْتًا أَمِينًا، لِأَنَّ سَيِّدِي يُحَارِبُ حُرُوبَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يُوجَدْ فِيكَ شَرٌّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِكَ. ٢٨ 28
I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thy handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee [all] thy days.
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
Yet a man hath risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thy enemies, them shall he sling out, [as from] the middle of a sling.
وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَمَا يَصْنَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِسَيِّدِي حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ، وَيُقِيمُكَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٣٠ 30
And it will come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler 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
That this will be no grief to thee, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَبِيجَايِلَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَكِ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِي، ٣٢ 32
And David said to Abigail, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me:
وَمُبَارَكٌ عَقْلُكِ، وَمُبَارَكَةٌ أَنْتِ، لِأَنَّكِ مَنَعْتِنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنْ إِتْيَانِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ وَٱنْتِقَامِ يَدِي لِنَفْسِي. ٣٣ 33
And blessed [be] thy advice, and blessed [be] thou, who hast kept me this day from coming to [shed] blood, 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 very deed, [as] the LORD God of Israel liveth, who hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male person.
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 [that] which she had brought him, and said to her, Return in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
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
And Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart [was] merry within him, for he [was] very drunken: Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ ٱلْخَمْرِ مِنْ نَابَالَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَمَاتَ قَلْبُهُ دَاخِلَهُ وَصَارَ كَحَجَرٍ. ٣٧ 37
But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine had left Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone.
وَبَعْدَ نَحْوِ عَشْرَةَ أَيَّامٍ ضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ نَابَالَ فَمَاتَ. ٣٨ 38
And it came to pass about ten days [after], that the LORD smote Nabal, 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
And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to himself for a wife.
فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى أَبِيجَايِلَ إِلَى ٱلْكَرْمَلِ وَكَلَّمُوهَا قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنَا إِلَيْكِ لِكَيْ نَتَّخِذَكِ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً». ٤٠ 40
And when the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to him for a wife.
فَقَامَتْ وَسَجَدَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَقَالَتْ: «هُوَذَا أَمَتُكَ جَارِيَةٌ لِغَسْلِ أَرْجُلِ عَبِيدِ سَيِّدِي». ٤١ 41
And she arose, and bowed herself on [her] face to the earth, and said, Behold, [let] thy handmaid [be] a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
ثُمَّ بَادَرَتْ وَقَامَتْ أَبِيجَايِلُ وَرَكِبَتِ ٱلْحِمَارَ مَعَ خَمْسِ فَتَيَاتٍ لَهَا ذَاهِبَاتٍ وَرَاءَهَا، وَسَارَتْ وَرَاءَ رُسُلِ دَاوُدَ وَصَارَتْ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً. ٤٢ 42
And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ دَاوُدُ أَخِينُوعَمَ مِنْ يَزْرَعِيلَ فَكَانَتَا لَهُ كِلْتَاهُمَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ. ٤٣ 43
David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
فَأَعْطَى شَاوُلُ مِيكَالَ ٱبْنَتَهُ ٱمْرَأَةَ دَاوُدَ لِفَلْطِي بْنِ لَايِشَ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ جَلِّيمَ. ٤٤ 44
But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who [was] of Gallim.
