< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 31 >

وَحَارَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَهَرَبَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَسَقَطُوا قَتْلَى فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ. ١ 1
Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
فَشَدَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ وَبَنِيهِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يُونَاثَانَ وَأَبِينَادَابَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ أَبْنَاءَ شَاوُلَ. ٢ 2
The Philistines followed hard on Saul and on his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua, the sons of Saul.
وَٱشْتَدَّتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ عَلَى شَاوُلَ فَأَصَابَهُ ٱلرُّمَاةُ رِجَالُ ٱلْقِسِيِّ، فَٱنْجَرَحَ جِدًّا مِنَ ٱلرُّمَاةِ. ٣ 3
The battle was fierce against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was wounded by the archers.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِحَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «ٱسْتَلَّ سَيْفَكَ وَٱطْعَنِّي بِهِ لِئَلَّا يَأْتِيَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْغُلْفُ وَيَطْعَنُونِي وَيُقَبِّحُونِي». فَلَمْ يَشَأْ حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ لِأَنَّهُ خَافَ جِدًّا. فَأَخَذَ شَاوُلُ ٱلسَّيْفَ وَسَقَطَ عَلَيْهِ. ٤ 4
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and torture me." But his armor bearer would not; for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ شَاوُلُ، سَقَطَ هُوَ أَيْضًا عَلَى سَيْفِهِ وَمَاتَ مَعَهُ. ٥ 5
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died with him.
فَمَاتَ شَاوُلُ وَبَنُوهُ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَعًا. ٦ 6
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْوَادِي وَٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ أَنَّ رِجَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ هَرَبُوا، وَأَنَّ شَاوُلَ وَبَنِيهِ قَدْ مَاتُوا، تَرَكُوا ٱلْمُدُنَ وَهَرَبُوا. فَأَتَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَسَكَنُوا بِهَا. ٧ 7
When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ لَمَّا جَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِيُعَرُّوا ٱلْقَتْلَى، وَجَدُوا شَاوُلَ وَبَنِيهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ سَاقِطِينَ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ. ٨ 8
It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
فَقَطَعُوا رَأْسَهُ وَنَزَعُوا سِلَاحَهُ، وَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فِي كُلِّ جِهَةٍ لِأَجْلِ ٱلتَّبْشِيرِ فِي بَيْتِ أَصْنَامِهِمْ وَفِي ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٩ 9
They cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
وَوَضَعُوا سِلَاحَهُ فِي بَيْتِ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَسَمَّرُوا جَسَدَهُ عَلَى سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ. ١٠ 10
They put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ سُكَّانُ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بِشَاوُلَ، ١١ 11
But when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
قَامَ كُلُّ ذِي بَأْسٍ وَسَارُوا ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ، وَأَخَذُوا جَسَدَ شَاوُلَ وَأَجْسَادَ بَنِيهِ عَنْ سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ، وَجَاءُوا بِهَا إِلَى يَابِيشَ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا هُنَاكَ. ١٢ 12
all the valiant men arose and traveled all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan, and brought them to Jabesh and burnt them there.
وَأَخَذُوا عِظَامَهُمْ وَدَفَنُوهَا تَحْتَ ٱلْأَثْلَةِ فِي يَابِيشَ، وَصَامُوا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ١٣ 13
They took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
