< 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 in mount Gilboa.
فَشَدَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ وَبَنِيهِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يُونَاثَانَ وَأَبِينَادَابَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ أَبْنَاءَ شَاوُلَ. ٢ 2
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons.
وَٱشْتَدَّتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ عَلَى شَاوُلَ فَأَصَابَهُ ٱلرُّمَاةُ رِجَالُ ٱلْقِسِيِّ، فَٱنْجَرَحَ جِدًّا مِنَ ٱلرُّمَاةِ. ٣ 3
And the battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was grievously 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 said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised should come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was exceedingly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ شَاوُلُ، سَقَطَ هُوَ أَيْضًا عَلَى سَيْفِهِ وَمَاتَ مَعَهُ. ٥ 5
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon 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 armourbearer, 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
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side of Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ لَمَّا جَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِيُعَرُّوا ٱلْقَتْلَى، وَجَدُوا شَاوُلَ وَبَنِيهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ سَاقِطِينَ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ. ٨ 8
And it came to pass on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
فَقَطَعُوا رَأْسَهُ وَنَزَعُوا سِلَاحَهُ، وَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فِي كُلِّ جِهَةٍ لِأَجْلِ ٱلتَّبْشِيرِ فِي بَيْتِ أَصْنَامِهِمْ وَفِي ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٩ 9
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent them around the land of the Philistines, to proclaim it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
وَوَضَعُوا سِلَاحَهُ فِي بَيْتِ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَسَمَّرُوا جَسَدَهُ عَلَى سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ. ١٠ 10
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ سُكَّانُ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بِشَاوُلَ، ١١ 11
And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which 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 went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
وَأَخَذُوا عِظَامَهُمْ وَدَفَنُوهَا تَحْتَ ٱلْأَثْلَةِ فِي يَابِيشَ، وَصَامُوا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ١٣ 13
And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
