صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 15
| وَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «إِيَّايَ أَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمَسْحِكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَٱلْآنَ فَٱسْمَعْ صَوْتَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١ 1 |
Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel. Now listen to the words of Yahweh.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنِّي قَدِ ٱفْتَقَدْتُ مَا عَمِلَ عَمَالِيقُ بِإِسْرَائِيلَ حِينَ وَقَفَ لَهُ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ صُعُودِهِ مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ٢ 2 |
This is what Yahweh of hosts says, 'I have noted what Amalek did to Israel in opposing them on the way, when they came up from Egypt.
| فَٱلْآنَ ٱذْهَبْ وَٱضْرِبْ عَمَالِيقَ، وَحَرِّمُوا كُلَّ مَا لَهُ وَلَا تَعْفُ عَنْهُمْ بَلِ ٱقْتُلْ رَجُلًا وَٱمْرَأَةً، طِفْلًا وَرَضِيعًا، بَقَرًا وَغَنَمًا، جَمَلًا وَحِمَارًا». | ٣ 3 |
Now go and attack Amalek and completely destroy all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'”
| فَٱسْتَحْضَرَ شَاوُلُ ٱلشَّعْبَ وَعَدَّهُ فِي طَلَايِمَ، مِئَتَيْ أَلْفِ رَاجِلٍ، وَعَشْرَةَ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ يَهُوذَا. | ٤ 4 |
Saul summoned the people and numbered them at the city of Telaim—two hundred thousand men on foot, and ten thousand men of Judah.
| ثُمَّ جَاءَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ عَمَالِيقَ وَكَمَنَ فِي ٱلْوَادِي. | ٥ 5 |
Then Saul came to the city of Amalek and waited in the valley.
| وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلْقَيْنِيِّينَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا حِيدُوا ٱنْزِلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةِ لِئَّلَا أُهْلِكَكُمْ مَعَهُمْ، وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ فَعَلْتُمْ مَعْرُوفًا مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ صُعُودِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ». فَحَادَ ٱلْقَيْنِيُّ مِنْ وَسَطِ عَمَالِيقَ. | ٦ 6 |
Then Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, come out from among the Amalekites, so I do not destroy you along with them. For you showed kindness to all the people of Israel, when they came from Egypt.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.
| وَضَرَبَ شَاوُلُ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ حَوِيلَةَ حَتَّى مَجِيئِكَ إِلَى شُورَ ٱلَّتِي مُقَابِلَ مِصْرَ. | ٧ 7 |
Then Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt.
| وَأَمْسَكَ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ عَمَالِيقَ حَيًّا، وَحَرَّمَ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٨ 8 |
Then he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive; he completely destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
| وَعَفَا شَاوُلُ وَٱلشَّعْبُ عَنْ أَجَاجَ وَعَنْ خِيَارِ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلثُّنْيَانِ وَٱلْخِرَافِ، وَعَنْ كُلِّ ٱلْجَيِّدِ، وَلَمْ يَرْضَوْا أَنْ يُحَرِّمُوهَا. وَكُلُّ ٱلْأَمْلَاكِ ٱلْمُحْتَقَرَةِ وَٱلْمَهْزُولَةِ حَرَّمُوهَا. | ٩ 9 |
But Saul and the people spared Agag, as well as the best of the sheep, oxen, fattened calves, and the lambs. Everything that was good, they did not destroy. But they completely destroyed anything that was despised and worthless.
| وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى صَمُوئِيلَ قَائِلًا: | ١٠ 10 |
Then the word of Yahweh came to Samuel, saying,
| «نَدِمْتُ عَلَى أَنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ شَاوُلَ مَلِكًا، لِأَنَّهُ رَجَعَ مِنْ وَرَائِي وَلَمْ يُقِمْ كَلَامِي». فَٱغْتَاظَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَصَرَخَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ. | ١١ 11 |
“It grieves me that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following me and has not performed my commandments.” Samuel was angry; he cried out to Yahweh all night.
| فَبَكَّرَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِلِقَاءِ شَاوُلَ صَبَاحًا. فَأُخْبِرَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «قَدْ جَاءَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى ٱلْكَرْمَلِ، وَهُوَذَا قَدْ نَصَبَ لِنَفْسِهِ نُصْبًا وَدَارَ وَعَبَرَ وَنَزَلَ إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ». | ١٢ 12 |
Samuel got up early to meet Saul in the morning. Samuel was told, “Saul came to Carmel and he set up a monument to himself, then turned and proceeded on down to Gilgal.”
| وَلَمَّا جَاءَ صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى شَاوُلَ قَالَ لَهُ شَاوُلُ: «مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ لِلرَّبِّ. قَدْ أَقَمْتُ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said to him, “Blessed are you by Yahweh! I have fulfilled the command of Yahweh.”
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «وَمَا هُوَ صَوْتُ ٱلْغَنَمِ هَذَا فِي أُذُنَيَّ، وَصَوْتُ ٱلْبَقَرِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا سَامِعٌ؟» | ١٤ 14 |
Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen that I hear?”
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «مِنَ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةِ، قَدْ أَتَوْا بِهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَدْ عَفَا عَنْ خِيَارِ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلذَّبْحِ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْبَاقِي فَقَدْ حَرَّمْنَاهُ». | ١٥ 15 |
Saul replied, “They have brought them from the Amalekites. For the people spared the best of the sheep and oxen, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God. The rest we have completely destroyed.”
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «كُفَّ فَأُخْبِرَكَ بِمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «تَكَلَّمْ». | ١٦ 16 |
Then Samuel said to Saul, “Wait, and I will tell you what Yahweh has said to me tonight.” Saul said to him, “Speak!”
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «أَلَيْسَ إِذْ كُنْتَ صَغِيرًا فِي عَيْنَيْكَ صِرْتَ رَأْسَ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَسَحَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ١٧ 17 |
Samuel said, “Though you are little in your own sight, were you not made the head of the tribes of Israel? Then Yahweh anointed you king over Israel,
| وَأَرْسَلَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي طَرِيقٍ وَقَالَ: ٱذْهَبْ وَحَرِّمِ ٱلْخُطَاةَ عَمَالِيقَ وَحَارِبْهُمْ حَتَّى يَفْنَوْا؟ | ١٨ 18 |
and Yahweh sent you on your way and said, 'Go and completely destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are destroyed.'
| فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَلْ ثُرْتَ عَلَى ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ وَعَمِلْتَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟». | ١٩ 19 |
Why did you not obey the voice of Yahweh, but instead you seized the booty and did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh?”
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «إِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَذَهَبْتُ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلَنِي فِيهَا ٱلرَّبُّ وَأَتَيْتُ بِأَجَاجَ مَلِكِ عَمَالِيقَ وَحَرَّمْتُ عَمَالِيقَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have indeed obeyed the voice of Yahweh, and have gone on the way that Yahweh sent me. I have captured Agag, the king of Amalek, and have completely destroyed the Amalekites.
| فَأَخَذَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنَ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا، أَوَائِلَ ٱلْحَرَامِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلذَّبْحِ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ». | ٢١ 21 |
But the people took some of the booty—sheep and oxen, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God in Gilgal.”
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «هَلْ مَسَرَّةُ ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَٱلذَّبَائِحِ كَمَا بِٱسْتِمَاعِ صَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ هُوَذَا ٱلِٱسْتِمَاعُ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ ٱلذَّبِيحَةِ، وَٱلْإِصْغَاءُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ شَحْمِ ٱلْكِبَاشِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Samuel replied, “Has Yahweh as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Yahweh? Obedience is better than sacrifice, and to listen is better than the fat of rams.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلتَّمَرُّدَ كَخَطِيَّةِ ٱلْعِرَافَةِ، وَٱلْعِنَادُ كَٱلْوَثَنِ وَٱلتَّرَافِيمِ. لِأَنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ رَفَضَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُلْكِ». | ٢٣ 23 |
For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and stubbornness is like wickedness and iniquity. Because you have rejected the word of Yahweh, he has also rejected you from being king.”
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «أَخْطَأْتُ لِأَنِّي تَعَدَّيْتُ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَكَلَامَكَ، لِأَنِّي خِفْتُ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَسَمِعْتُ لِصَوْتِهِمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; for I have broken Yahweh's commandment and your words, because I was afraid of the people and obeyed their voice.
| وَٱلْآنَ فَٱغْفِرْ خَطِيَّتِي وَٱرْجِعْ مَعِي فَأَسْجُدَ لِلرَّبِّ». | ٢٥ 25 |
Now, please pardon my sin, and return with me so that I may worship Yahweh.”
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لَا أَرْجِعُ مَعَكَ لِأَنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَرَفَضَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Samuel said to Saul, “I will not go back with you; for you have rejected the word of Yahweh, and Yahweh has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
| وَدَارَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِيَمْضِيَ، فَأَمْسَكَ بِذَيْلِ جُبَّتِهِ فَٱنْمَزَقَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
As Samuel turned to leave, Saul took hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ: «يُمَزِّقُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَمْلَكَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَيُعْطِيهَا لِصَاحِبِكَ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Samuel said to him, “Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to a neighbor of yours, one who is better than you.
| وَأَيْضًا نَصِيحُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَكْذِبُ وَلَا يَنْدَمُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانًا لِيَنْدَمَ». | ٢٩ 29 |
Also, the Strength of Israel will not lie nor change his mind; for he is not a man, that he should change his mind.”
| فَقَالَ: «قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ. وَٱلْآنَ فَأَكْرِمْنِي أَمَامَ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِي وَأَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱرْجِعْ مَعِي فَأَسْجُدَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
Then Saul said, “I have sinned. But please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel. Turn again with me, that I may worship Yahweh your God.”
| فَرَجَعَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ، وَسَجَدَ شَاوُلُ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٣١ 31 |
So Samuel turned again after Saul, and Saul worshiped Yahweh.
| وَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «قَدِّمُوا إِلَيَّ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ عَمَالِيقَ». فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَجَاجُ فَرِحًا. وَقَالَ أَجَاجُ: «حَقًّا قَدْ زَالَتْ مَرَارَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ». | ٣٢ 32 |
Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag the king of the Amalekites here to me.” Agag came to him confined with chains and said, “Surely the bitterness of death has past.”
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «كَمَا أَثْكَلَ سَيْفُكَ ٱلنِّسَاءَ، كَذَلِكَ تُثْكَلُ أُمُّكَ بَيْنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ». فَقَطَعَ صَمُوئِيلُ أَجَاجَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Samuel replied, “As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.” Then Samuel chopped Agag to pieces before Yahweh at Gilgal.
| وَذَهَبَ صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى ٱلرَّامَةِ، وَأَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَصَعِدَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فِي جِبْعَةِ شَاوُلَ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house at Gibeah of Saul.
| وَلَمْ يَعُدْ صَمُوئِيلُ لِرُؤْيَةِ شَاوُلَ إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهِ، لِأَنَّ صَمُوئِيلَ نَاحَ عَلَى شَاوُلَ. وَٱلرَّبُّ نَدِمَ لِأَنَّهُ مَلَّكَ شَاوُلَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Samuel did not see Saul until the day of his death, for he mourned for Saul. Yahweh was grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
