< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 12 >
وَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِكُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَأَنَذَا قَدْ سَمِعْتُ لِصَوْتِكُمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا قُلْتُمْ لِي وَمَلَّكْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ مَلِكًا. | ١ 1 |
And Samuel said to all Israel, behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that ye said to me, and have made a king over you.
وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا ٱلْمَلِكُ يَمْشِي أَمَامَكُمْ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ شِخْتُ وَشِبْتُ، وَهُوَذَا أَبْنَائِي مَعَكُمْ. وَأَنَا قَدْ سِرْتُ أَمَامَكُمْ مُنْذُ صِبَايَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢ 2 |
And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and gray-headed; and behold, my sons [are] with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood to this day.
هَأَنَذَا فَٱشْهَدُوا عَلَيَّ قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقُدَّامَ مَسِيحِهِ: ثَوْرَ مَنْ أَخَذْتُ؟ وَحِمَارَ مَنْ أَخَذْتُ؟ وَمَنْ ظَلَمْتُ؟ وَمَنْ سَحَقْتُ؟ وَمِنْ يَدِ مَنْ أَخَذْتُ فِدْيَةً لِأُغْضِيَ عَيْنَيَّ عَنْهُ، فَأَرُدَّ لَكُمْ؟» | ٣ 3 |
Behold, here I [am]: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed; whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or from whose hand have I received [any] bribe to blind my eyes with it? and I will restore it you.
فَقَالُوا: «لَمْ تَظْلِمْنَا وَلَا سَحَقْتَنَا وَلَا أَخَذْتَ مِنْ يَدِ أَحَدٍ شَيْئًا». | ٤ 4 |
And they said thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught from any man's hand.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «شَاهِدٌ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ وَشَاهِدٌ مَسِيحُهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَذَا، أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا بِيَدِي شَيْئًا». فَقَالُوا: «شَاهِدٌ». | ٥ 5 |
And he said to them, The LORD [is] witness against you, and his anointed [is] witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand. And they answered, [He is] witness.
وَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِلشَّعْبِ: «ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ، وَأَصْعَدَ آبَاءَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٦ 6 |
And Samuel said to the people, [It is] the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt.
فَٱلْآنَ ٱمْثُلُوا فَأُحَاكِمَكُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِجَمِيعِ حُقُوقِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَهَا مَعَكُمْ وَمَعَ آبَائِكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.
لَمَّا جَاءَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى مِصْرَ وَصَرَخَ آبَاؤُكُمْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، أَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ فَأَخْرَجَا آبَاءَكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَأَسْكَنَاهُمْ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ. | ٨ 8 |
When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought forth your fathers from Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
فَلَمَّا نَسُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ، بَاعَهُمْ لِيَدِ سِيسَرَا رَئِيسِ جَيْشِ حَاصُورَ، وَلِيَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَلِيَدِ مَلِكِ مُوآبَ فَحَارَبُوهُمْ. | ٩ 9 |
And when they forgot the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالُوا: أَخْطَأْنَا لِأَنَّنَا تَرَكْنَا ٱلرَّبَّ وَعَبَدْنَا ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ وَٱلْعَشْتَارُوثَ. فَٱلْآنَ أَنْقِذْنَا مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِنَا فَنَعْبُدَكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And they cried to the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَرُبَّعَلَ وَبَدَانَ وَيَفْتَاحَ وَصَمُوئِيلَ، وَأَنْقَذَكُمْ مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَكُمْ فَسَكَنْتُمْ آمِنِينَ. | ١١ 11 |
And the LORD sent Jerubbaal and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you from the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelt safe.
وَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُمْ نَاحَاشَ مَلِكَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ آتِيًا عَلَيْكُمْ، قُلْتُمْ لِي: لَا بَلْ يَمْلِكُ عَلَيْنَا مَلِكٌ. وَٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مَلِكُكُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said to me, No; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God [was] your king.
فَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُمُوهُ، ٱلَّذِي طَلَبْتُمُوهُ، وَهُوَذَا قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ مَلِكًا. | ١٣ 13 |
Now therefore, behold the king whom ye have chosen, [and] whom ye have desired! and behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.
إِنِ ٱتَّقَيْتُمُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَعَبَدْتُمُوهُ وَسَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَهُ وَلَمْ تَعْصُوا قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكُنْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ وَٱلْمَلِكُ أَيْضًا ٱلَّذِي يَمْلِكُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَاءَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye, and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God.
وَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا صَوْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ بَلْ عَصَيْتُمْ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ، تَكُنْ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا عَلَى آبَائِكُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as [it was] against your fathers.
فَٱلْآنَ ٱمْثُلُوا أَيْضًا وَٱنْظُرُوا هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ ٱلَّذِي يَفْعَلُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.
أَمَا هُوَ حَصَادُ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ ٱلْيَوْمَ؟ فَإِنِّي أَدْعُو ٱلرَّبَّ فَيُعْطِي رُعُودًا وَمَطَرًا فَتَعْلَمُونَ وَتَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ عَظِيمٌ شَرُّكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلْتُمُوهُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِطَلَبِكُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مَلِكًا». | ١٧ 17 |
[Is it] not wheat-harvest to-day? I will call to the LORD, and he will send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness [is] great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.
فَدَعَا صَمُوئِيلُ ٱلرَّبَّ فَأَعْطَى رُعُودًا وَمَطَرًا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. وَخَافَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلرَّبَّ وَصَمُوئِيلَ جِدًّا. | ١٨ 18 |
So Samuel called to the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
وَقَالَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «صَلِّ عَنْ عَبِيدِكَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ حَتَّى لَا نَمُوتَ، لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَضَفْنَا إِلَى جَمِيعِ خَطَايَانَا شَرًّا بِطَلَبِنَا لِأَنْفُسِنَا مَلِكًا». | ١٩ 19 |
And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for thy servants to the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added to all our sins [this] evil, to ask us a king.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِلشَّعْبِ: «لَا تَخَافُوا. إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ فَعَلْتُمْ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّرِّ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَحِيدُوا عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَلِ ٱعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ، | ٢٠ 20 |
And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;
وَلَا تَحِيدُوا. لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ وَرَاءَ ٱلْأَبَاطِيلِ ٱلَّتِي لَا تُفِيدُ وَلَا تُنْقِذُ، لِأَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ. | ٢١ 21 |
And turn ye not aside: for then [would ye go] after vain [things], which cannot profit nor deliver; for they [are] vain.
لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَتْرُكُ ٱلرَّبُّ شَعْبَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ. لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ شَاءَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يَجْعَلَكُمْ لَهُ شَعْبًا. | ٢٢ 22 |
For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.
وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَحَاشَا لِي أَنْ أُخْطِئَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَأَكُفَّ عَنِ ٱلصَّلَاةِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، بَلْ أُعَلِّمُكُمُ ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلصَّالِحَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Moreover as for me, Far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
إِنَّمَا ٱتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَٱعْبُدُوهُ بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ، بَلِ ٱنْظُرُوا فِعْلَهُ ٱلَّذِي عَظَّمَهُ مَعَكُمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great [things] he hath done for you.
وَإِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ شَرًّا فَإِنَّكُمْ تَهْلِكُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَمَلِكُكُمْ جَمِيعًا». | ٢٥ 25 |
But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye will be consumed, both ye and your king.
