< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 29 >

وَجَمَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ جَمِيعَ جُيُوشِهِمْ إِلَى أَفِيقَ. وَكَانَ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ نَازِلِينَ عَلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ ٱلَّتِي فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ. ١ 1
Now the Philistines gathered together all their army at Aphek; the Israelites camped by the spring that is in Jezreel.
وَعَبَرَ أَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِئَاتٍ وَأُلُوفًا، وَعَبَرَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ فِي ٱلْسَّاقَةِ مَعَ أَخِيشَ. ٢ 2
The princes of the Philistines passed on by hundreds and by thousands; David and his men passed on in the rear guard with Achish.
فَقَالَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ: «مَا هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ؟» فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا دَاوُدَ عَبْدَ شَاوُلَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ مَعِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامَ أَوْ هَذِهِ ٱلسِّنِينَ، وَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ يَوْمِ نُزُولِهِ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ؟». ٣ 3
Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What are these Hebrews doing here?” Achish said to the other princes of the Philistines, “Is not this David, the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault with him since he came away to me to this day?”
وَسَخِطَ عَلَيْهِ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَقَالَ لَهُ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ: «أَرْجعِ ٱلرَّجُلَ فَيَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَيَّنْتَ لَهُ، وَلَا يَنْزِلَ مَعَنَا إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَلَا يَكُونَ لَنَا عَدُوًّا فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ. فَبِمَاذَا يُرْضِي هَذَا سَيِّدَهُ؟ أَلَيْسَ بِرُؤُوسِ أُولَئِكَ ٱلرِّجَالِ؟ ٤ 4
But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him and said, “Send the man back, that he may return to the place you assigned him. He will not go down with us into battle, for he will turn against us during the fighting. For how else could he make himself acceptable to his master than by taking the heads of our own men?
أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ دَاوُدُ ٱلَّذِي غَنَّيْنَ لَهُ بِٱلرَّقْصِ قَائِلَاتٍ: ضَرَبَ شَاوُلُ أُلُوفَهُ وَدَاوُدُ رِبْوَاتِهِ؟». ٥ 5
Is this not David of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?”
فَدَعَا أَخِيشُ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ، وَخُرُوجُكَ وَدُخُولُكَ مَعِي فِي ٱلْجَيْشِ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيكَ شَرًّا مِنْ يَوْمِ جِئْتَ إِلَيَّ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ. وَأَمَّا فِي أَعْيُنِ ٱلْأَقْطَابِ فَلَسْتَ بِصَالِحٍ. ٦ 6
Then Achish called David and said to him, “As Yahweh lives, you have been good, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my view; for I have found nothing wrong with you since the day of your coming to me to this very day. Nevertheless, the princes are not favorable to you.
فَٱلْآنَ ٱرْجِعْ وَٱذْهَبْ بِسَلَامٍ، وَلَا تَفْعَلْ سُوءًا فِي أَعْيُنِ أَقْطَابِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». ٧ 7
So now return and go in peace, so that you do not displease the princes of the Philistines.”
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَخِيشَ: «فَمَاذَا عَمِلْتُ؟ وَمَاذَا وَجَدْتَ فِي عَبْدِكَ مِنْ يَوْمِ صِرْتُ أَمَامَكَ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ حَتَّى لَا آتِيَ وَأُحَارِبَ أَعْدَاءَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ؟» ٨ 8
David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant as long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my master the king?”
فَأَجَابَ أَخِيشُ وَقَالَ لِدَاوُدَ: «عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ كَمَلَاكِ ٱللهِ. إِلَّا إِنَّ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَالُوا: لَا يَصْعَدْ مَعَنَا إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ. ٩ 9
Achish answered and said to David, “I know that you are as blameless in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless, the princes of the Philistines have said, 'He must not go up with us to the battle.'
وَٱلْآنَ فَبَكِّرْ صَبَاحًا مَعَ عَبِيدِ سَيِّدِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مَعَكَ. وَإِذَا بَكَّرْتُمْ صَبَاحًا وَأَضَاءَ لَكُمْ فَٱذْهَبُوا». ١٠ 10
So now rise up early in the morning with the servants of your master who have come with you; as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, go away.”
فَبَكَّرَ دَاوُدُ هُوَ وَرِجَالُهُ لِكَيْ يَذْهَبُوا صَبَاحًا وَيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فَصَعِدُوا إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ. ١١ 11
So David rose up early, he and his men, to leave in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
