< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 24 >

وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ شَاوُلُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ عَيْنِ جَدْيٍ». ١ 1
When Saul returned from chasing the Philistines, he was told, “David is in the wilderness of Engedi.”
فَأَخَذَ شَاوُلُ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ مُنْتَخَبِينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَذَهَبَ يَطْلُبُ دَاوُدَ وَرِجَالَهُ عَلَى صُخُورِ ٱلْوُعُولِ. ٢ 2
Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and went to seek David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats.
وَجَاءَ إِلَى صِيَرِ ٱلْغَنَمِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ كَهْفٌ فَدَخَلَ شَاوُلُ لِكَيْ يُغَطِّيَ رِجْلَيْهِ، وَدَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ كَانُوا جُلُوسًا فِي مَغَابِنِ ٱلْكَهْفِ. ٣ 3
He came to sheep pens on the way, where there was a cave. Saul went inside to cover his feet. Now David and his men were sitting far back in the cave.
فَقَالَ رِجَالُ دَاوُدَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَكَ عَنْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَدْفَعُ عَدُوَّكَ لِيَدِكَ فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». فَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَقَطَعَ طَرَفَ جُبَّةِ شَاوُلَ سِرًّا. ٤ 4
David's men said to him, “This is the day of which Yahweh spoke when he said to you, 'I will give your enemy into your hand, for you to do with him as you wish.'” Then David arose and quietly crept forward and cut off the corner of Saul's robe.
وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ قَلْبَ دَاوُدَ ضَرَبَهُ عَلَى قَطْعِهِ طَرَفَ جُبَّةِ شَاوُلَ، ٥ 5
Afterward David's heart afflicted him because he had cut a corner off Saul's robe.
فَقَالَ لِرِجَالِهِ: «حَاشَا لِي مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ بِسَيِّدِي، بِمَسِيحِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَمُدَّ يَدِي إِلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّهُ مَسِيحُ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ». ٦ 6
He said to his men, “May Yahweh forbid that I should do this thing to my master, Yahweh's anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is Yahweh's anointed.”
فَوَبَّخَ دَاوُدُ رِجَالَهُ بِٱلْكَلَامِ، وَلَمْ يَدَعْهُمْ يَقُومُونَ عَلَى شَاوُلَ. وَأَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَقَامَ مِنَ ٱلْكَهْفِ وَذَهَبَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ. ٧ 7
So David rebuked his men with these words, and did not permit them to attack Saul. Saul stood up, left the cave, and went on his way.
ثُمَّ قَامَ دَاوُدُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْكَهْفِ وَنَادَى وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ قَائِلًا: «يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ». وَلَمَّا ٱلْتَفَتَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى وَرَائِهِ، خَرَّ دَاوُدُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ. ٨ 8
Afterward, David also stood up, left the cave, and called out after Saul: “My master the king.” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and showed him respect.
وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْمَعُ كَلَامَ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلْقَائِلِينَ: هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ يَطْلُبُ أَذِيَّتَكَ؟ ٩ 9
David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the men who say, 'See, David is seeking your harm?'
هُوَذَا قَدْ رَأَتْ عَيْنَاكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَذَا كَيْفَ دَفَعَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱليَومَ لِيَدِي فِي ٱلْكَهْفِ، وَقِيلَ لِي أَنْ أَقْتُلَكَ، وَلَكِنَّنِي أَشْفَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَقُلْتُ: لَا أَمُدُّ يَدِي إِلَى سَيِّدِي، لِأَنَّهُ مَسِيحُ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ. ١٠ 10
Today your eyes have seen how Yahweh put you into my hand when we were in the cave. Some told me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, 'I will not put out my hand against my master; for he is Yahweh's anointed.'
فَٱنْظُرْ يَا أَبِي، ٱنْظُرْ أَيْضًا طَرَفَ جُبَّتِكَ بِيَدِي. فَمِنْ قَطْعِي طَرَفَ جُبَّتِكَ وَعَدَمِ قَتْلِي إِيَّاكَ ٱعْلَمْ وَٱنْظُرْ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي يَدِي شَرٌّ وَلَا جُرْمٌ، وَلَمْ أُخْطِئْ إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَصِيدُ نَفْسِي لِتَأْخُذَهَا. ١١ 11
See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no evil or treason in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, even though you hunt my life to take it.
يَقْضِي ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ وَيَنْتَقِمُ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْكَ، وَلَكِنْ يَدِي لَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ. ١٢ 12
May Yahweh judge between you and me, and may Yahweh avenge me against you, but my hand shall not be against you.
كَمَا يَقُولُ مَثَلُ ٱلْقُدَمَاءِ: مِنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَخْرُجُ شَرٌّ. وَلَكِنْ يَدِي لَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ. ١٣ 13
As the proverb of the ancients says, 'Out of the wicked comes wickedness.' But my hand will not be against you.
وَرَاءَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ وَرَاءَ مَنْ أَنْتَ مُطَارِدٌ؟ وَرَاءَ كَلْبٍ مَيْتٍ! وَرَاءَ بُرْغُوثٍ وَاحِدٍ! ١٤ 14
After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog! After a flea!
فَيَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلدَّيَّانَ وَيَقْضِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَيَرَى وَيُحَاكِمُ مُحَاكَمَتِي، وَيُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ يَدِكَ». ١٥ 15
May Yahweh be judge and give judgment between you and me, and see to it, and plead my cause and permit me to escape from your hand.”
فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَى شَاوُلَ، قَالَ شَاوُلُ: «أَهَذَا صَوْتُكَ يَا ٱبْنِي دَاوُدُ؟» وَرَفَعَ شَاوُلُ صَوْتَهُ وَبَكَى. ١٦ 16
When David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَنْتَ أَبَرُّ مِنِّي، لِأَنَّكَ جَازَيْتَنِي خَيْرًا وَأَنَا جَازَيْتُكَ شَرًّا. ١٧ 17
He said to David, “You are more righteous than I am. For you have repaid me good, where I have repaid you evil.
وَقَدْ أَظْهَرْتَ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنَّكَ عَمِلْتَ بِي خَيْرًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَنِي بِيَدِكَ وَلَمْ تَقْتُلْنِي. ١٨ 18
You have declared today how you have done good to me, for you did not kill me when Yahweh had put me at your mercy.
فَإِذَا وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ عَدُوَّهُ، فَهَلْ يُطْلِقُهُ فِي طَرِيقِ خَيْرٍ؟ فَٱلرَّبُّ يُجَازِيكَ خَيْرًا عَمَّا فَعَلْتَهُ لِي ٱلْيَوْمَ هَذَا. ١٩ 19
For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go safely? May Yahweh reward you with good for what you have done to me today.
وَٱلْآنَ فَإِنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَكُونُ مَلِكًا وَتَثْبُتُ بِيَدِكَ مَمْلَكَةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٠ 20
Now, I know that you will surely be king and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.
فَٱحْلِفْ لِي ٱلْآنَ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِنَّكَ لَا تَقْطَعُ نَسْلِي مِنْ بَعْدِي، وَلَا تُبِيدُ ٱسْمِي مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي». ٢١ 21
Swear to me by Yahweh that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house.”
فَحَلَفَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَأَمَّا دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ فَصَعِدُوا إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ. ٢٢ 22
So David made an oath to Saul. Then Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
