< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 28 >

وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ جَمَعُوا جُيُوشَهُمْ لِكَيْ يُحَارِبُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِدَاوُدَ: «ٱعْلَمْ يَقِينًا أَنَّكَ سَتَخْرُجُ مَعِي فِي ٱلْجَيْشِ أَنْتَ وَرِجَالُكَ». ١ 1
And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together with their armies to go out to fight with Israel; and Anchus said to David, Know surely, that thou shalt go forth to battle with me, [thou], and thy men.
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَخِيشَ: «لِذَلِكَ أَنْتَ سَتَعْلَمُ مَا يَفْعَلُ عَبْدُكَ». فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِدَاوُدَ: «لِذَلِكَ أَجْعَلُكَ حَارِسًا لِرَأْسِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». ٢ 2
And David said to Anchus, Thus now thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Anchus said to David, So will I make thee captain of my body-guard continually.
وَمَاتَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَنَدَبَهُ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ فِي مَدِينَتِهِ. وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ قَدْ نَفَى أَصْحَابَ ٱلْجَانِّ وَٱلتَّوَابِعِ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٣ 3
And Samuel died, and all Israel lamented for him, and they bury him in his city, in Armathaim. And Saul had removed those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
فَٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَجَاءُوا وَنَزَلُوا فِي شُونَمَ، وَجَمَعَ شَاوُلُ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلَ فِي جِلْبُوعَ. ٤ 4
And the Philistines assemble themselves, and come and encamp in Sonam: and Saul gathers all the men of Israel, and they encamp in Gelbue.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى شَاوُلُ جَيْشَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ خَافَ وَٱضْطَرَبَ قَلْبُهُ جِدًّا. ٥ 5
And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was alarmed, and his heart was greatly dismayed.
فَسَأَلَ شَاوُلُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لَا بِٱلْأَحْلَامِ وَلَا بِٱلْأُورِيمِ وَلَا بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ. ٦ 6
And Saul enquired of the Lord; and the Lord answered him not by dreams, nor by manifestations, nor by prophets.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «فَتِّشُوا لِي عَلَى ٱمْرَأَةٍ صَاحِبَةِ جَانٍّ، فَأَذْهَبَ إِلَيْهَا وَأَسْأَلَهَا». فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱمْرَأَةٌ صَاحِبَةُ جَانٍّ فِي عَيْنِ دُورٍ». ٧ 7
Then Saul said to his servants, Seek for me a woman who has in her a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire of her: and his servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a woman who has in her a divining spirit at Aendor.
فَتَنَكَّرَ شَاوُلُ وَلَبِسَ ثِيَابًا أُخْرَى، وَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَرَجُلَانِ مَعَهُ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ لَيْلًا. وَقَالَ: «ٱعْرِفِي لِي بِٱلْجَانِّ وَأَصْعِدِي لِي مَنْ أَقُولُ لَكِ». ٨ 8
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he goes, and two men with him, and they come to the woman by night; and he said to her, Divine to me, I pray thee, by the divining spirit within thee, and bring up to me him whom I shall name to thee.
فَقَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «هُوَذَا أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ مَا فَعَلَ شَاوُلُ، كَيْفَ قَطَعَ أَصْحَابَ ٱلْجَانِّ وَٱلتَّوَابِعِ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَلِمَاذَا تَضَعُ شَرَكًا لِنَفْسِي لِتُمِيتَهَا؟» ٩ 9
And the woman said to him, Behold now, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards from the land, and why dost thou spread a snare for my life to destroy it?
فَحَلَفَ لَهَا شَاوُلُ بِٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَلْحَقُكِ إِثْمٌ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ». ١٠ 10
And Saul swore to her, and said, [As] the Lord lives, no injury shall come upon thee on this account.
فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «مَنْ أُصْعِدُ لَكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَصْعِدِي لِي صَمُوئِيلَ». ١١ 11
And the woman said, Whom shall I bring up to thee? and he said, Bring up to me Samuel.
فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ صَمُوئِيلَ صَرَخَتْ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَكَلَّمَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ شَاوُلَ قَائِلَةً: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتَنِي وَأَنْتَ شَاوُلَ؟» ١٢ 12
And the woman saw Samuel, and cried out with a loud voice: and the woman said to Saul, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
فَقَالَ لَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ: «لَا تَخَافِي. فَمَاذَا رَأَيْتِ؟» فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ لِشَاوُلَ: «رَأَيْتُ آلِهَةً يَصْعَدُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ». ١٣ 13
And the king said to her, Fear not; tell me whom thou has seen. And the woman said to him, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
فَقَالَ لَهَا: «مَا هِيَ صُورَتُهُ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «رَجُلٌ شَيْخٌ صَاعِدٌ وَهُوَ مُغَطًّى بِجُبَّةٍ». فَعَلِمَ شَاوُلُ أَنَّهُ صَمُوئِيلُ، فَخَرَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ. ١٤ 14
And he said to her, What didst thou perceive? and she said to him, An upright man ascending out of the earth, and he [was] clothed with a mantle. And Saul knew that this was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the earth, and did obeisance to him.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لِمَاذَا أَقْلَقْتَنِي بِإِصْعَادِكَ إِيَّايَ؟» فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «قَدْ ضَاقَ بِي ٱلْأَمْرُ جِدًّا. اَلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي، وَٱلرَّبُّ فَارَقَنِي وَلَمْ يَعُدْ يُجِيبُنِي لَا بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَلَا بِٱلْأَحْلَامِ. فَدَعَوْتُكَ لِكَيْ تُعْلِمَنِي مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ». ١٥ 15
And Samuel said, Why hast thou troubled me, that I should come up? And Saul said, I am greatly distressed, and the Philistines war against me, and God has departed from me, and no longer hearkens to me either by the hand of the prophets or by dreams: and now I have called thee to tell me what I shall do.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «وَلِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنِي وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ فَارَقَكَ وَصَارَ عَدُوَّكَ؟ ١٦ 16
And Samuel said, Why askest thou me, whereas the Lord has departed from thee, and taken part with thy neighbour?
وَقَدْ فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ عَنْ يَدِي، وَقَدْ شَقَّ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ يَدِكَ وَأَعْطَاهَا لِقَرِيبِكَ دَاوُدَ. ١٧ 17
And the Lord has done to thee, as the Lord spoke by me; and the Lord will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David.
لِأَنَّكَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ حُمُوَّ غَضَبِهِ فِي عَمَالِيقَ، لِذَلِكَ قَدْ فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِكَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلْيَوْمَ. ١٨ 18
because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and didst not execute his fierce anger upon Amalec, therefore the Lord has done this thing to thee this day.
وَيَدْفَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا مَعَكَ لِيَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَغَدًا أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ تَكُونُونَ مَعِي، وَيَدْفَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ جَيْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا لِيَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». ١٩ 19
And the Lord shall deliver Israel with thee into the hands of the Philistines, and to-morrow thou and thy sons with thee shall fall, and the Lord shall deliver the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.
فَأَسْرَعَ شَاوُلُ وَسَقَطَ عَلَى طُولِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَخَافَ جِدًّا مِنْ كَلَامِ صَمُوئِيلَ، وَأَيْضًا لَمْ تَكُنْ فِيهِ قُوَّةٌ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ طَعَامًا ٱلنَّهَارَ كُلَّهُ وَٱللَّيْلَ. ٢٠ 20
And Saul instantly fell at his full length upon the earth, and was greatly afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no longer any strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day, and all that night.
ثُمَّ جَاءَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى شَاوُلَ وَرَأَتْ أَنَّهُ مُرْتَاعٌ جِدًّا، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا قَدْ سَمِعَتْ جَارِيَتُكَ لِصَوْتِكَ فَوَضَعْتُ نَفْسِي فِي كَفِّي وَسَمِعْتُ لِكَلَامِكَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتَنِي بِهِ. ٢١ 21
And the woman went in to Saul, and saw that he was greatly disquieted, and said to him, Behold now, thine handmaid has hearkened to thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have heard the words which thou has spoken to me.
وَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا لِصَوْتِ جَارِيَتِكَ فَأَضَعَ قُدَّامَكَ كِسْرَةَ خُبْزٍ وَكُلْ، فَتَكُونَ فِيكَ قُوَّةٌ إِذْ تَسِيرُ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ». ٢٢ 22
And now hearken, I pray thee, to the voice of thine handmaid, and I will set before thee a morsel of bread, and eat, and thou shalt be strengthened, for thou wilt be going on thy way.
فَأَبَى وَقَالَ: «لَا آكُلُ». فَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدَاهُ وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضًا، فَسَمِعَ لِصَوْتِهِمْ وَقَامَ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَلَسَ عَلَى ٱلسَّرِيرِ. ٢٣ 23
But he would not eat; so his servants and the woman constrained him, and he hearkened to their voice, and rose up from the earth, and sat upon a bench.
وَكَانَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ عِجْلٌ مُسَمَّنٌ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، فَأَسْرَعَتْ وَذَبَحَتْهُ وَأَخَذَتْ دَقِيقًا وَعَجَنَتْهُ وَخَبَزَتْ فَطِيرًا، ٢٤ 24
And the woman had a fat heifer in the house; and she hasted and slew it; and she took meal and kneaded it, and baked unleavened cakes.
ثُمَّ قَدَّمَتْهُ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ وَأَمَامَ عَبْدَيْهِ فَأَكَلُوا. وَقَامُوا وَذَهَبُوا فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ. ٢٥ 25
And she brought [the meat] before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate, and rose up, and departed that night.
