< اول سموئیل 30 >

و واقع شد چون داود و کسانش در روزسوم به صقلغ رسیدند که عمالقه برجنوب و بر صقلغ هجوم آورده بودند، و صقلغ رازده آن را به آتش سوزانیده بودند. ۱ 1
And when David and his men had arrived at Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the south side against Ziklag. And they had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire.
و زنان و همه کسانی را که در آن بودند از خرد و بزرگ اسیرکرده، هیچ‌کس را نکشته، بلکه همه را به اسیری برده، به راه خود رفته بودند. ۲ 2
And they had led the women in it away as captives, from the small to the great. And they had not killed anyone, but they led them away with them. And then they traveled on their journey.
و چون داود وکسانش به شهر رسیدند، اینک به آتش سوخته، وزنان و پسران و دختران ایشان اسیر شده بودند. ۳ 3
Therefore, when David and his men had arrived at the city, and had found it burned with fire, and that their wives and their sons and daughters had been led away as captives,
پس داود و قومی که همراهش بودند آواز خودرا بلند کرده، گریستند تا طاقت گریه کردن دیگرنداشتند. ۴ 4
David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.
و دو زن داود اخینوعم یزرعیلیه وابیجایل، زن نابال کرملی، اسیر شده بودند. ۵ 5
For indeed, the two wives of David also had been led away as captives: Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
وداود بسیار مضطرب شد زیرا که قوم می‌گفتند که او را سنگسار کنند، چون جان تمامی قوم هر یک برای پسران و دختران خویش بسیار تلخ شده بود، اما داود خویشتن را از یهوه، خدای خود، تقویت نمود. ۶ 6
And David was greatly saddened. And the people were willing to stone him, because the soul of every man was bitter over his sons and daughters. But David was strengthened by the Lord his God.
و داود به ابیاتار کاهن، پسر اخیملک گفت: «ایفود را نزد من بیاور.» و ابیاتار ایفود را نزد داودآورد. ۷ 7
And he said to the priest Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring the ephod to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
و داود از خداوند سوال نموده، گفت: «اگر این فوج را تعاقب نمایم، آیا به آنها خواهم رسید؟» او وی را گفت: «تعاقب نما زیرا که به تحقیق خواهی رسید و رها خواهی کرد.» ۸ 8
And David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue these robbers, and will I overtake them, or not?” And the Lord said to him: “Pursue. For without doubt, you will overtake them and find the prey.”
پس داود و ششصد نفر که همراهش بودند روانه شده، به وادی بسور آمدند و واماندگان در آنجا توقف نمودند. ۹ 9
Therefore, David went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they arrived as far as the torrent Besor. And certain ones, being weary, stayed there.
و داود با چهارصد نفر تعاقب نمود ودویست نفر توقف نمودند زیرا به حدی خسته شده بودند که از وادی بسور نتوانستند گذشت. ۱۰ 10
But David pursued, he and four hundred men. For two hundred stayed, who, being weary, were not able to cross the torrent Besor.
پس شخصی مصری در صحرا یافته، او رانزد داود آوردند و به او نان دادند که خورد و او راآب نوشانیدند. ۱۱ 11
And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and they led him to David. And they gave him bread, so that he might eat, and water, so that he might drink,
و پاره‌ای از قرص انجیر و دوقرص کشمش به او دادند و چون خورد روحش به وی بازگشت زیرا که سه روز و سه شب نه نان خورده، و نه آب نوشیده بود. ۱۲ 12
and also a section of a mass of dried figs, and two clusters of dried grapes. And when he had eaten, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed. For he had not eaten bread, nor drank water, for three days and three nights.
و داود او راگفت: «از آن که هستی و از کجا می‌باشی؟» اوگفت: «من جوان مصری و بنده شخص عمالیقی هستم، و آقایم مرا ترک کرده است زیرا سه روزاست که بیمار شده‌ام. ۱۳ 13
And so David said to him: “To whom do you belong? Or where are you from? And where are you going?” And he said: “I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalekite man. But my lord abandoned me, because I began to be sick the day before yesterday.
ما به جنوب کریتیان و برملک یهودا و بر جنوب کالیب تاخت آوردیم. صقلغ را به آتش سوزانیدیم.» ۱۴ 14
For indeed, we broke forth to the southern side of Cherethi, and against Judah, and to the south of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
داود وی راگفت: «آیا مرا به آن گروه خواهی رسانید؟» اوگفت: «برای من به خدا قسم بخور که نه مرا بکشی و نه مرا به‌دست آقایم تسلیم کنی، پس تو را نزدآن گروه خواهم رسانید.» ۱۵ 15
And David said to him, “Are you able to lead me to this battle line?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my lord, and I will lead you to this battle line.” And David swore to him.
و چون او را به آنجا رسانید اینک بر روی تمامی زمین منتشر شده، می‌خوردند ومی نوشیدند و بزم می‌کردند، به‌سبب تمامی غنیمت عظیمی که از زمین فلسطینیان و از زمین یهودا آورده بودند. ۱۶ 16
And when he had led him, behold, they were stretched out on the face of the land everywhere, eating and drinking and celebrating, as if it were a feast day, because of all the prey and spoils that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.
و داود ایشان را از وقت شام تا عصر روز دیگر می‌زد که از ایشان احدی رهایی نیافت جز چهارصد مرد جوان که بر شتران سوار شده، گریختند. ۱۷ 17
And David struck them down from evening until the evening of the next day. And no one among them escaped, except four hundred youths, who had climbed on camels and fled.
و داود هرچه عمالقه گرفته بودند، بازگرفت و داود دو زن خود را بازگرفت. ۱۸ 18
Therefore, David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
و چیزی از ایشان مفقود نشد از خرد وبزرگ و از پسران و دختران و غنیمت و از همه چیزهایی که برای خود گرفته بودند، بلکه داودهمه را باز آورد. ۱۹ 19
And nothing was missing, from small even to great, among the sons and daughters, and among the spoils, and among everything whatsoever that they had seized. David returned it all.
و داود همه گوسفندان وگاوان خود را گرفت و آنها را پیش مواشی دیگرراندند و گفتند این است غنیمت داود. ۲۰ 20
And he took all the flocks and the herds, and he drove them before his face. And they said, “This is the prey of David.”
و داود نزد آن دویست نفر که از شدت خستگی نتوانسته بودند در عقب داود بروند وایشان را نزد وادی بسور واگذاشته بودند آمد، وایشان به استقبال داود و به استقبال قومی که همراهش بودند بیرون آمدند، و چون داود نزدقوم رسید از سلامتی ایشان پرسید. ۲۱ 21
Then David arrived at the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, for they had not been able to follow David, and he had ordered them to remain at the torrent Besor. And they went out to meet David, and the people who were with him. Then David, drawing near to the people, greeted them peacefully.
اما جمیع کسان شریر و مردان بلیعال از اشخاصی که با داودرفته بودند متکلم شده، گفتند: «چونکه همراه مانیامدند، از غنیمتی که باز آورده‌ایم چیزی به ایشان نخواهیم داد مگر به هر کس زن و فرزندان او را. پس آنها را برداشته، بروند.» ۲۲ 22
And all the wicked and iniquitous men, out of the men who had gone with David, responding, said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give to them anything from the prey that we have rescued. But let his wife and children be enough for each of them; when they have accepted this, they may go back.”
لیکن داودگفت: «ای برادرانم چنین مکنید چونکه خداونداینها را به ما داده است و ما را حفظ نموده، آن فوج را که بر ما تاخت آورده بودند به‌دست ماتسلیم نموده است. ۲۳ 23
But David said: “You shall not do this, my brothers, with these things that the Lord has delivered to us, for he has preserved us, and he has given into our hands the robbers who broke out among us.
و کیست که در این امر به شما گوش دهد زیرا قسمت آنانی که نزد اسباب می‌مانند مثل قسمت آنانی که به جنگ می‌روند، خواهد بود و هر دو قسمت مساوی خواهند برد.» ۲۴ 24
And so, let no one heed you over these words. But equal shall be the portion of him who descended to the battle, and of him who remained with the supplies, and they will divide it alike.”
و از آن روز به بعد چنین شد که این را قاعده وقانون در اسرائیل تا امروز قرار داد. ۲۵ 25
And this has been done from that day and thereafter. And it was established as a statute, and as if a law, in Israel even to this day.
و چون داود به صقلغ رسید، بعضی ازغنیمت را برای مشایخ یهودا و دوستان خودفرستاده، گفت: «اینک هدیه‌ای از غنیمت دشمنان خداوند برای شماست.» ۲۶ 26
Then David went to Ziklag, and he sent gifts from the prey to the elders of Judah, his neighbors, saying, “Receive a blessing from the prey of the enemies of the Lord,”
برای اهل بیت ئیل و اهل راموت جنوبی و اهل یتیر؛ ۲۷ 27
to those who were in Bethel, and who were in Ramoth toward the south, and who were in Jattir,
وبرای اهل عروعیر و اهل سفموت و اهل اشتموع؛ ۲۸ 28
and who were in Aroer, and who were in Siphmoth, and who were in Eshtemoa,
و برای اهل راکال و اهل شهرهای یرحمئیلیان و اهل شهرهای قینیان؛ ۲۹ 29
and who were in Racal, and who were in the cities of Jerahmeel, and who were in the cities of Keni,
و برای اهل حرما و اهل کورعاشان و اهل عتاق؛ ۳۰ 30
and who were in Hormah, and who were at the lake of Ashan, and who were in Athach,
و برای اهل حبرون و جمیع مکانهایی که داود و کسانش درآنها آمد و رفت می‌کردند. ۳۱ 31
and who were in Hebron, and to the remainder who were in those places where David had stayed, he and his men.
