وَكَلَّمَ شَاوُلُ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنَهُ وَجَمِيعَ عَبِيدِهِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا دَاوُدَ. ١ 1
Saul said to Jonathan his son and to all his servants that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, took great pleasure in David.
وَأَمَّا يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شَاوُلَ فَسُرَّ بِدَاوُدَ جِدًّا. فَأَخْبَرَ يُونَاثَانُ دَاوُدَ قَائِلًا: «شَاوُلُ أَبِي مُلْتَمِسٌ قَتْلَكَ، وَٱلْآنَ فَٱحْتَفِظْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ، وَأَقِمْ فِي خُفْيَةٍ وَٱخْتَبِئْ. ٢ 2
So Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning and hide yourself in a secret place.
وَأَنَا أَخْرُجُ وَأَقِفُ بِجَانِبِ أَبِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ، وَأُكَلِّمُ أَبِي عَنْكَ، وَأَرَى مَاذَا يَصِيرُ وَأُخْبِرُكَ». ٣ 3
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. If I learn anything, I will tell you.”
وَتَكَلَّمَ يُونَاثَانُ عَنْ دَاوُدَ حَسَنًا مَعَ شَاوُلَ أَبِيهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَا يُخْطِئِ ٱلْمَلِكُ إِلَى عَبْدِهِ دَاوُدَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ إِلَيْكَ، وَلِأَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُ حَسَنَةٌ لَكَ جِدًّا. ٤ 4
Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his deeds have brought you good.
فَإِنَّهُ وَضَعَ نَفْسَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَقَتَلَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ فَصَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ خَلَاصًا عَظِيمًا لِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَ وَفَرِحْتَ. فَلِمَاذَا تُخْطِئُ إِلَى دَمٍ بَرِيءٍ بِقَتْلِ دَاوُدَ بِلَا سَبَبٍ؟» ٥ 5
For he took his life in his hand and killed the Philistine. Yahweh brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
فَسَمِعَ شَاوُلُ لِصَوْتِ يُونَاثَانَ، وَحَلَفَ شَاوُلُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يُقْتَلُ». ٦ 6
Saul listened to Jonathan. Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he will not be put to death.”
فَدَعَا يُونَاثَانُ دَاوُدَ وَأَخْبَرَهُ يُونَاثَانُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ. ثُمَّ جَاءَ يُونَاثَانُ بِدَاوُدَ إِلَى شَاوُلَ فَكَانَ أَمَامَهُ كَأَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ. ٧ 7
Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
وَعَادَتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ تَحْدُثُ، فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ وَحَارَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَضَرَبَهُمْ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً فَهَرَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِهِ. ٨ 8
There was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with a great slaughter. They fled before him.
وَكَانَ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلرَّدِيءُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَرُمْحُهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَضْرِبُ بِٱلْيَدِ. ٩ 9
A harmful spirit from Yahweh came on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand, and as David was playing his instrument.
فَٱلْتَمَسَ شَاوُلُ أَنْ يَطْعَنَ دَاوُدَ بِٱلرُّمْحِ حَتَّى إِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ، فَفَرَّ مِنْ أَمَامِ شَاوُلَ فَضَرَبَ ٱلرُّمْحَ إِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ، فَهَرَبَ دَاوُدُ وَنَجَا تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ. ١٠ 10
Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul's presence, so that Saul drove the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
فَأَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ رُسُلًا إِلَى بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ لِيُرَاقِبُوهُ وَيَقْتُلُوهُ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ. فَأَخْبَرَتْ دَاوُدَ مِيكَالُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ قَائِلَةً: «إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَنْجُو بِنَفْسِكَ هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ فَإِنَّكَ تُقْتَلُ غَدًا». ١١ 11
Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him that he might kill him in the morning. Michal, David's wife, told him, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
فَأَنْزَلَتْ مِيكَالُ دَاوُدَ مِنَ ٱلْكُوَّةِ، فَذَهَبَ هَارِبًا وَنَجَا. ١٢ 12
So Michal let David down through the window. He went and fled, and escaped.
فَأَخَذَتْ مِيكَالُ ٱلتَّرَافِيمَ وَوَضَعَتْهُ فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ، وَوَضَعَتْ لُبْدَةَ ٱلْمِعْزَى تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ وَغَطَّتْهُ بِثَوْبٍ. ١٣ 13
Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed. Then she put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
وَأَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ رُسُلًا لِأَخْذِ دَاوُدَ، فَقَالَتْ: «هُوَ مَرِيضٌ». ١٤ 14
When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ ٱلرُّسُلَ لِيَرَوْا دَاوُدَ قَائِلًا: «ٱصْعَدُوا بِهِ إِلَيَّ عَلَى ٱلْفِرَاشِ لِكَيْ أَقْتُلَهُ». ١٥ 15
Then Saul sent the messengers to see David; he said, “Bring him up to me in the bed, so that I may kill him.”
فَجَاءَ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَإِذَا فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ ٱلتَّرَافِيمُ وَلِبْدَةُ ٱلْمِعْزَى تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ. ١٦ 16
When the messengers came in, behold, the household idol was in the bed along with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِمِيكَالَ: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتِنِي، فَأَطْلَقْتِ عَدُوِّي حَتَّى نَجَا؟» فَقَالَتْ مِيكَالُ لِشَاوُلَ: «هُوَ قَالَ لِي: أَطْلِقِينِي، لِمَاذَا أَقْتُلُكِ؟». ١٧ 17
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'”
فَهَرَبَ دَاوُدُ وَنَجَا وَجَاءَ إِلَى صَمُوئِيلَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِكُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ بِهِ شَاوُلُ. وَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَصَمُوئِيلُ وَأَقَامَا فِي نَايُوتَ. ١٨ 18
Now David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel in Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
فَأُخْبِرَ شَاوُلُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ فِي نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ». ١٩ 19
It was told to Saul, saying, “See, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
فَأَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ رُسُلًا لِأَخْذِ دَاوُدَ. وَلَمَّا رَأَوْا جَمَاعَةَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ، وَصَمُوئِيلَ وَاقِفًا رَئِيسًا عَلَيْهِمْ، كَانَ رُوحُ ٱللهِ عَلَى رُسُلِ شَاوُلَ فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا. ٢٠ 20
Then Saul sent messengers to capture David. When they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
وَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ، فَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا آخَرِينَ، فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا. ثُمَّ عَادَ شَاوُلُ فَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا ثَالِثَةً، فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا. ٢١ 21
When Saul was told this, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
فَذَهَبَ هُوَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلرَّامَةِ وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْبِئْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ سِيخُو وَسَأَلَ وَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَدَاوُدُ؟» فَقِيلَ: «هَا هُمَا فِي نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ». ٢٢ 22
Then he also went to Ramah and came to the deep well that is in Seku. He asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” Someone said, “See, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
فَذَهَبَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ إِلَى نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ، فَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضًا رُوحُ ٱللهِ، فَكَانَ يَذْهَبُ وَيَتَنَبَّأُ حَتَّى جَاءَ إِلَى نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ. ٢٣ 23
Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came upon him, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
فَخَلَعَ هُوَ أَيْضًا ثِيَابَهُ وَتَنَبَّأَ هُوَ أَيْضًا أَمَامَ صَمُوئِيلَ، وَٱنْطَرَحَ عُرْيَانًا ذَلِكَ ٱلنَّهَارَ كُلَّهُ وَكُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ. لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُونَ: «أَشَاوُلُ أَيْضًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ؟». ٢٤ 24
He stripped off his clothes and also prophesied before Samuel. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why they ask, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
