صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 14

١ 1 وَفِي ذَاتِ يَوْمٍ قَالَ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شَاوُلَ لِلْغُلَامِ حَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَعْبُرْ إِلَى حَفَظَةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْعَبْرِ». وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْ أَبَاهُ.

And it bifelde in a day, that Jonathas, the sone of Saul, seide to his squyer, a yong man, Come thou, and passe we to the staciouns of the Filisteis, which is biyende that place; `sotheli he schewide not this same thing to his fadir.

٢ 2 وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ مُقِيمًا فِي طَرَفِ جِبْعَةَ تَحْتَ ٱلرُّمَّانَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي مِغْرُونَ، وَٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ نَحْوُ سِتِّ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ.

Sotheli Saul dwellide in the laste part of Gabaa, vndur a pumgarnarde tre, that was in the feeld of Gabaa; and the puple as of sixe hundrid men was with hym.

٣ 3 وَأَخِيَّا بْنُ أَخِيطُوبَ، أَخِي إِيخَابُودَ بْنِ فِينَحَاسَ بْنِ عَالِي، كَاهِنُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ كَانَ لَابِسًا أَفُودًا. وَلَمْ يَعْلَمِ ٱلشَّعْبُ أَنَّ يُونَاثَانَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ.

And Achias, sone of Achitob, brother of Icaboth, sone of Fynees, that was gendrid of Ely, preest of the Lord in Silo, bar ephod, `that is, the preestis cloth; but also the puple wiste not whidur Jonathas hadde go.

٤ 4 وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَعَابِرِ ٱلَّتِي ٱلْتَمَسَ يُونَاثَانُ أَنْ يَعْبُرَهَا إِلَى حَفَظَةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سِنُّ صَخْرَةٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْجِهَةِ وَسِنُّ صَخْرَةٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْجِهَةِ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ «بُوصَيْصُ» وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى «سَنَهُ».

Sotheli bitwixe the stiyngis, bi whiche Jonathas enforside to passe to the stacioun of Filisteis, weren stonys stondynge forth on euer either side, and scarris brokun bifore bi the maner of teeth on ech syde; name to oon was Boses, and name to `the tother was Sene;

٥ 5 وَٱلسِّنُّ ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَمُودٌ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ مُقَابِلَ مِخْمَاسَ، وَٱلْآخَرُ إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ مُقَابِلَ جِبْعَ.

o scarre was stondynge forth to the north ayens Machynas, and the tother scarre to the south ayens Gabaa.

٦ 6 فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِلْغُلَامِ حَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَعْبُرْ إِلَى صَفِّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْغُلْفِ، لَعَلَّ ٱللهَ يَعْمَلُ مَعَنَا، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلرَّبِّ مَانِعٌ عَنْ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ بِٱلْكَثِيرِ أَوْ بِٱلْقَلِيلِ».

Forsothe Jonathas seide to his yong squyer, Come thou, passe we to the stacioun of these vncircumcisid men, if in hap the Lord do for vs; for it is not hard to the Lord to saue, ethir in manye ethir in fewe.

٧ 7 فَقَالَ لَهُ حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ: «ٱعْمَلْ كُلَّ مَا بِقَلْبِكَ. تَقَدَّمْ. هَأَنَذَا مَعَكَ حَسَبَ قَلْبِكَ».

And his squyer seide to hym, Do thou alle thingis that plesen thi soule; go whidur thou coueitist, Y schal be with thee, where euer thou wolt.

٨ 8 فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «هُوَذَا نَحْنُ نَعْبُرُ إِلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ وَنُظْهِرُ أَنْفُسَنَا لَهُمْ.

And Jonathas seide, Lo! we passen to these men; and whanne we apperen to hem,

٩ 9 فَإِنْ قَالُوا لَنَا هَكَذَا: دُومُوا حَتَّى نَصِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ. نَقِفُ فِي مَكَانِنَا وَلَا نَصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِمْ.

if thei speken thus to vs, Dwelle ye, til we comen to you; stonde we in oure place, and stie we not to hem.

١٠ 10 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالُوا هَكَذَا: ٱصْعَدُوا إِلَيْنَا. نَصْعَدُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِنَا، وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ لَنَا».

Sotheli if thei seien, Stye ye to vs; stie we, for the Lord hath bitake hem in oure hondis; this schal be a signe to vs.

١١ 11 فَأَظْهَرَا أَنْفُسَهُمَا لِصَفِّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. فَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ خَارِجُونَ مِنَ ٱلثُّقُوبِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَبَأُوا فِيهَا».

`Therfor euer either apperide to the stacioun of Filisteis; and Filisteis seiden, Lo! Ebreis goen out of caues, in whiche thei weren hid.

١٢ 12 فَأَجَابَ رِجَالُ ٱلصَّفِّ يُونَاثَانَ وَحَامِلَ سِلَاحِهِ وَقَالُوا: «ٱصْعَدَا إِلَيْنَا فَنُعَلِّمَكُمَا شَيْئًا». فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِحَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «ٱصْعَدْ وَرَائِي لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

And men of the stacioun spaken to Jonathas and to his squyer, and seiden, Stie ye to vs, and we schulen schewe to you a thing. And Jonathas seide to his squyer, `Stie we, sue thou me; for the Lord hath bitake hem in to the hondis of Israel.

١٣ 13 فَصَعِدَ يُونَاثَانُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ وَرَاءَهُ. فَسَقَطُوا أَمَامَ يُونَاثَانَ، وَكَانَ حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ يُقَتِّلُ وَرَاءَهُ.

Forsothe Jonathas stiede crepynge on hondis and feet, and his squyer after hym; and whanne thei hadden seyn the face of Jonathas, summe felden doun bifor Jonathas, his squier killed othere, and suede hym.

١٤ 14 وَكَانَتِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ ٱلْأُولَى ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبَهَا يُونَاثَانُ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ نَحْوَ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا فِي نَحْوِ نِصْفِ تَلَمِ فَدَّانِ أَرْضٍ.

And the firste wounde was maad, which Jonathas and his squyer smoot, as of twenti men, in `the myddil part of lond which a peire of oxun was wont to ere in the dai.

١٥ 15 وَكَانَ ٱرْتِعَادٌ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٱلصَّفُّ وَٱلْمُخَرِّبُونَ ٱرْتَعَدُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا، وَرَجَفَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ فَكَانَ ٱرْتِعَادٌ عَظِيمٌ.

And a myracle was don in the castels, and bi the feeldis, but also al the puple of the `stacioun of hem that yeden out to take prey, dredde, and `the castels weren disturblid; and it bifelde as a myracle of God.

١٦ 16 فَنَظَرَ ٱلْمُرَاقِبُونَ لِشَاوُلَ فِي جِبْعَةِ بَنْيَامِينَ، وَإِذَا بِٱلْجُمْهُورِ قَدْ ذَابَ وَذَهَبُوا مُتَبَدِّدِينَ.

And aspyeris of Saul bihelden, that weren in Gabaa of Beniamyn, and lo! a multitude cast doun, and fleynge awei hidur and thidur.

١٧ 17 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ: «عُدُّوا ٱلْآنَ وَٱنْظُرُوا مَنْ ذَهَبَ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا». فَعَدُّوا، وَهُوَذَا يُونَاثَانُ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ لَيْسَا مَوْجُودَيْنِ.

And Saul seide to the puple that weren with hym, Seke ye, and se ye, who yede awei fro vs. And whanne thei hadden souyt, it was foundun, that Jonathas and his squyer weren not present.

١٨ 18 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِأَخِيَّا: «قَدِّمْ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ». لِأَنَّ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Saul seide to Achias, Brynge the arke of the Lord; for the arke of God was there in that dai with the sones of Israel.

١٩ 19 وَفِيمَا كَانَ شَاوُلُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بَعْدُ مَعَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، تَزَايَدَ ٱلضَّجِيجُ ٱلَّذِي فِي مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَكَثُرَ. فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلْكَاهِنِ: «كُفَّ يَدَكَ».

And whanne Saul spak to the preest, a grete noise roos in the castelis of Filisteis; and it encresside litil and litil, and sownede cleerliere. And Saul seide to the preest, Withdraw thin hond.

٢٠ 20 وَصَاحَ شَاوُلُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَإِذَا بِسَيْفِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ. ٱضْطِرَابٌ عَظِيمٌ جِدًّا.

Therfor Saul criede, and al the puple that was with hym; and thei camen `til to the place of batel, and, lo! the swerd of ech man was turned to his neiybore, and a ful grete sleynge was.

٢١ 21 وَٱلْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ، ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ مِنْ حَوَالَيْهِمْ، صَارُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ.

But also Ebreis that weren with Filisteis yistirday and the thridde dai ago, and hadde stied with hem in castels, turneden ayen to be with Israel, that weren with Saul and Jonathas.

٢٢ 22 وَسَمِعَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَبَأُوا فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ أَنَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ هَرَبُوا، فَشَدُّوا هُمْ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَهُمْ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ.

Also alle men of Israel, that hadden hid hem silf in the hil of Effraym, herden that Filisteis hadden fled; and thei felouschipiden hem silf with her men in batel, and as ten thousynde of men weren with Saul.

٢٣ 23 فَخَلَّصَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. وَعَبَرَتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ إِلَى بَيْتِ آوِنَ.

And the Lord sauyde Israel in that day. Sotheli the batel cam til to Bethauen.

٢٤ 24 وَضَنُكَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّ شَاوُلَ حَلَّفَ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: «مَلْعُونٌ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ حَتَّى أَنْتَقِمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي». فَلَمْ يَذُقْ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ خُبْزًا.

And men of Israel weren felouschipid to hem silf in that dai; forsothe Saul swoor to the puple, and seide, Cursid be the man, that etith breed `til to euentid, til `Y venge me of myn enemyes.

٢٥ 25 وَجَاءَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلْوَعْرِ وَكَانَ عَسَلٌ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْحَقْلِ.

And al the puple ete not breed. And al the comyn puple of the lond cam in to a forest, in which was hony on the `face of erthe.

٢٦ 26 وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْوَعْرَ إِذَا بِٱلْعَسَلِ يَقْطُرُ وَلَمْ يَمُدَّ أَحَدٌ يَدَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ خَافَ مِنَ ٱلْقَسَمِ.

And so the puple entride in to the forest, and flowynge hony apperide; and no man puttide hond to his mouth, for the puple dredde the ooth.

٢٧ 27 وَأَمَّا يُونَاثَانُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ عِنْدَمَا ٱسْتَحْلَفَ أَبُوهُ ٱلشَّعْبَ، فَمَدَّ طَرَفَ ٱلنُّشَّابَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِيَدِهِ وَغَمَسَهُ فِي قَطْرِ ٱلْعَسَلِ وَرَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ فَٱسْتَنَارَتْ عَيْنَاهُ.

Forsothe Jonathas herde not, whanne his fadir swoor to the puple; and he helde forth the ende of a litil yerde, whiche he hadde in the hond, and dippide in to `a coomb of hony; and he turnede his hond to his mouth, and hise iyen weren liytned.

٢٨ 28 فَأَجَابَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ حَلَّفَ أَبُوكَ ٱلشَّعْبَ حَلْفًا قَائِلًا: مَلْعُونٌ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا ٱلْيَوْمَ. فَأَعْيَا ٱلشَّعْبُ».

And oon of the puple answeride, and seide, Thi fader boond the puple with an ooth, and seide, Cursid be the man that etith breed to dai. Forsothe the puple was feynt.

٢٩ 29 فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «قَدْ كَدَّرَ أَبِي ٱلْأَرْضَ. اُنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ ٱسْتَنَارَتْ عَيْنَايَ لِأَنِّي ذُقْتُ قَلِيلًا مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْعَسَلِ.

And Jonathas seide, My fadir hath disturblid the lond; ye sien, that myn iyen ben liytned, for Y tastide a litil of this hony;

٣٠ 30 فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ لَوْ أَكَلَ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ غَنِيمَةِ أَعْدَائِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي وَجَدُوا؟ أَمَا كَانَتِ ٱلْآنَ ضَرْبَةٌ أَعْظَمُ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟»

hou myche more if the puple hadde ete the prey of hise enemyes, which `prey it foond; whether not gretter veniaunce hadde be maad in Filisteis?

٣١ 31 فَضَرَبُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ مِخْمَاسَ إِلَى أَيَّلُونَ. وَأَعْيَا ٱلشَّعْبُ جِدًّا.

Therfore thei smytiden Filisteis in that dai fro Machynas `til in to Hailon. Forsothe the puple was maad ful wery;

٣٢ 32 وَثَارَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ، فَأَخَذُوا غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَعُجُولًا، وَذَبَحُوا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَأَكَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى ٱلدَّمِ.

and the puple turnede to prey, and took scheep and oxun, and calues; and thei killiden in the erthe; and the puple eet with blood.

٣٣ 33 فَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ يُخْطِئُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِأَكْلِهِ عَلَى ٱلدَّمِ». فَقَالَ: «قَدْ غَدَرْتُمْ. دَحْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ ٱلْآنَ حَجَرًا كَبِيرًا».

And thei telden to Saul, and seiden, that the puple etynge with blood hadde synned to the Lord. And Saul seide, Ye han trespassid; walewe ye to me `riyt now a greet stoon.

٣٤ 34 وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «تَفَرَّقُوا بَيْنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ أَنْ يُقَدِّمُوا إِلَيَّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ثَوْرَهُ وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ شَاتَهُ، وَٱذْبَحُوا هَهُنَا وَكُلُوا وَلَا تُخْطِئُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِأَكْلِكُمْ مَعَ ٱلدَّمِ». فَقَدَّمَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ثَوْرَهُ بِيَدِهِ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ وَذَبَحُوا هُنَاكَ.

And Saul seyde, `Be ye spred abrood in to the comyn puple, and seie ye to hem, that ech man brynge to me his oxe and ram; and sle ye on this stoon, and ete ye, and ye schulen not do synne to the Lord, `and ete with blood. Therfor al the puple brouyte ech man an oxe in his hond `til to nyyt, and thei killiden there.

٣٥ 35 وَبَنَى شَاوُلُ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. ٱلَّذِي شَرَعَ بِبُنْيَانِهِ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ.

Sotheli Saul bildide an auter to the Lord; and thanne firste he bigan to bilde an auter to the Lord.

٣٦ 36 وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لِنَنْزِلْ وَرَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لَيْلًا وَنَنْهَبْهُمْ إِلَى ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَلَا نُبْقِ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا». فَقَالُوا: «ٱفْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». وَقَالَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ: «لِنَتَقَدَّمْ هُنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ».

And Saul seide, Falle we on the Filisteis in the nyyt, and waste we hem til the morewtid schyne; and leeue we not of hem a man. And the puple seide, Do thou al thing that semeth good to thee in thin iyen. And the preest seide, Neiye we hidur to God.

٣٧ 37 فَسَأَلَ شَاوُلُ ٱللهَ: «أَأَنْحَدِرُ وَرَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟ أَتَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.

And Saul counselide the Lord, and seide, Whether Y schal pursue Filisteis? whether thou schalt bitake hem in to the hondis of Israel? And the Lord answeride not to him in that dai.

٣٨ 38 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى هُنَا يَا جَمِيعَ وُجُوهِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَٱعْلَمُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا بِمَاذَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ ٱلْيَوْمَ.

And Saul seide, Brynge ye hidur alle the corneris of the puple, and wite ye, and se, bi whom this synne bifelde to dai.

٣٩ 39 لِأَنَّهُ حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَوْ كَانَتْ فِي يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِي فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ مَوْتًا». وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يُجِيبُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

The Lord sauyour of Israel lyueth; for if `it is don bi Jonathas my sone, he schal die with out ayen drawyng. At which ooth no man of al the puple ayenseide hym.

٤٠ 40 فَقَالَ لِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ فِي جَانِبٍ وَأَنَا وَيُونَاثَانُ ٱبْنِي فِي جَانِبٍ». فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِشَاوُلَ: «ٱصْنَعْ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ».

And he seide to al Israel, Be ye departid in to o part, and Y with my sone Jonathas schal be in the tothir part. And the puple answeride to Saul, Do thou that, that semeth good in thin iyen.

٤١ 41 وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَبْ صِدْقًا». فَأُخِذَ يُونَاثَانُ وَشَاوُلُ، أَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ فَخَرَجُوا.

And Saul seide to the Lord God of Israel, Lord God of Israel, yyue thou doom, what is, that thou answerist not to dai to thi seruaunt? If this wickidness is in me, ether in Jonathas my sone, yyue thou schewyng; ether if this wickidnesse is in thi puple, yyue thou hoolynesse. And Jonathas was takun, and Saul; forsothe the puple yede out.

٤٢ 42 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «أَلْقُوا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِي. فَأُخِذَ يُونَاثَانُ».

And Saule seide, Sende ye lot bitwixe me and Jonathas my sone. And Jonathas was takun `bi lot.

٤٣ 43 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِيُونَاثَانَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ». فَأَخْبَرَهُ يُونَاثَانُ وَقَالَ: «ذُقْتُ ذَوْقًا بِطَرَفِ ٱلنُّشَّابَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِيَدِي قَلِيلَ عَسَلٍ. فَهَأَنَذَا أَمُوتُ».

Forsothe Saul seide to Jonathas, Schewe thou to me, what thou didist. And Jonathas schewide to hym, and seide, Y tastynge tastide a litil of hony `in the ende of the yerde, that was in myn hond; and lo!

٤٤ 44 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱللهُ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ إِنَّكَ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ يَايُونَاثَانُ».

Y die. And Saul seide, God do to me these thingis, and adde `these thingis, for thou, Jonathas, schalt die bi deeth.

٤٥ 45 فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِشَاوُلَ: «أَيَمُوتُ يُونَاثَانُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ هَذَا ٱلْخَلَاصَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ حَاشَا! حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا تَسْقُطُ شَعْرَةٌ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِأَنَّهُ مَعَ ٱللهِ عَمِلَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ». فَٱفْتَدَى ٱلشَّعْبُ يُونَاثَانَ فَلَمْ يَمُتْ.
