صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 19
| وَكَلَّمَ شَاوُلُ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنَهُ وَجَمِيعَ عَبِيدِهِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا دَاوُدَ. | ١ 1 |
Then Saul instructed his son Jonathan and all his officials to kill David. But Jonathan really liked 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 he warned him, “My father Saul is trying to kill you. So be careful tomorrow morning—find a place to hide and stay hidden.
| وَأَنَا أَخْرُجُ وَأَقِفُ بِجَانِبِ أَبِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ، وَأُكَلِّمُ أَبِي عَنْكَ، وَأَرَى مَاذَا يَصِيرُ وَأُخْبِرُكَ». | ٣ 3 |
I'll go out with my father and stand in the field near to where you are hiding. I'll talk to him about you and see what I can find out, then I'll let you know.”
| 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 |
Then Jonathan spoke positively about David to his father Saul, and told him, “The king should not do anything bad to his servant David because he's not done anything bad to you—he has always served you well.
| 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 |
He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine, and the Lord brought about great salvation for the whole of Israel. You saw it and you were delighted, so why would you sin and spill innocent blood by killing David without having any reason?”
| فَسَمِعَ شَاوُلُ لِصَوْتِ يُونَاثَانَ، وَحَلَفَ شَاوُلُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يُقْتَلُ». | ٦ 6 |
Saul accepted what Jonathan had to say, and promised with an oath: “I swear on the life of the Lord, he won't 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 |
Later Jonathan called David and told him all that had been said. Then he took him to Saul, and David worked for Saul as he had before.
| وَعَادَتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ تَحْدُثُ، فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ وَحَارَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَضَرَبَهُمْ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً فَهَرَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
War broke out once again, and David went to fight the Philistines. He attacked them so forcefully that they ran away in defeat.
| وَكَانَ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلرَّدِيءُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَرُمْحُهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَضْرِبُ بِٱلْيَدِ. | ٩ 9 |
A while later an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul while he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. As David played the lyre,
| 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. David managed to dodge the spear which embedded itself in the wall. Then David escaped and ran away into the 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 some messengers to David's house to keep watch and kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, warned him, “If you don't get away tonight, tomorrow you'll be killed.”
| فَأَنْزَلَتْ مِيكَالُ دَاوُدَ مِنَ ٱلْكُوَّةِ، فَذَهَبَ هَارِبًا وَنَجَا. | ١٢ 12 |
Michal lowered David down from a window, and he ran off, managing to escape.
| فَأَخَذَتْ مِيكَالُ ٱلتَّرَافِيمَ وَوَضَعَتْهُ فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ، وَوَضَعَتْ لُبْدَةَ ٱلْمِعْزَى تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ وَغَطَّتْهُ بِثَوْبٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
Then she took a home idol and laid it in the bed, put a goat hair wig on its head, and covered it with bedclothes.
| وَأَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ رُسُلًا لِأَخْذِ دَاوُدَ، فَقَالَتْ: «هُوَ مَرِيضٌ». | ١٤ 14 |
When Saul sent the messengers to arrest David, Michal told them, “He's sick.”
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ ٱلرُّسُلَ لِيَرَوْا دَاوُدَ قَائِلًا: «ٱصْعَدُوا بِهِ إِلَيَّ عَلَى ٱلْفِرَاشِ لِكَيْ أَقْتُلَهُ». | ١٥ 15 |
Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, “Bring him to me in the bed so I can kill him.”
| فَجَاءَ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَإِذَا فِي ٱلْفِرَاشِ ٱلتَّرَافِيمُ وَلِبْدَةُ ٱلْمِعْزَى تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
But when the messengers went into the bedroom, there was the idol in the bed with the goat hair wig on its head.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِمِيكَالَ: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتِنِي، فَأَطْلَقْتِ عَدُوِّي حَتَّى نَجَا؟» فَقَالَتْ مِيكَالُ لِشَاوُلَ: «هُوَ قَالَ لِي: أَطْلِقِينِي، لِمَاذَا أَقْتُلُكِ؟». | ١٧ 17 |
“Why did you trick me like this—helping my enemy get away so he could escape?” Saul asked Michal. “He told me, ‘Get out of my way! I don't want to have to kill you!’” Michal replied.
| فَهَرَبَ دَاوُدُ وَنَجَا وَجَاءَ إِلَى صَمُوئِيلَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِكُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ بِهِ شَاوُلُ. وَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَصَمُوئِيلُ وَأَقَامَا فِي نَايُوتَ. | ١٨ 18 |
This is how David got away and escaped. He went to Samuel at Ramah and explained to him everything that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to stay in Naioth.
| فَأُخْبِرَ شَاوُلُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ فِي نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ». | ١٩ 19 |
When Saul got to hear that David was 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 |
he sent messengers to arrest him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying with Samuel leading out, the Spirit of God came on Saul's messengers and they started prophesying too.
| وَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ، فَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا آخَرِينَ، فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا. ثُمَّ عَادَ شَاوُلُ فَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا ثَالِثَةً، فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا. | ٢١ 21 |
Saul was told what had happened, so he sent more messengers, and they started prophesying as well.
| 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 |
For the third time Saul sent messengers, and they also started prophesying.
| فَذَهَبَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ إِلَى نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ، فَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضًا رُوحُ ٱللهِ، فَكَانَ يَذْهَبُ وَيَتَنَبَّأُ حَتَّى جَاءَ إِلَى نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
In the end Saul went himself to Ramah and arrived at the large cistern at Secu. “Where are Samuel and David?” he asked. “At Naioth in Ramah,” someone told him. So Saul went on to Naioth at Ramah, but the Spirit of God even came on him, and he was prophesying as he walked along until he arrived in Naioth.
| فَخَلَعَ هُوَ أَيْضًا ثِيَابَهُ وَتَنَبَّأَ هُوَ أَيْضًا أَمَامَ صَمُوئِيلَ، وَٱنْطَرَحَ عُرْيَانًا ذَلِكَ ٱلنَّهَارَ كُلَّهُ وَكُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ. لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُونَ: «أَشَاوُلُ أَيْضًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ؟». | ٢٤ 24 |
Then Saul also took off his clothes and he too prophesied in Samuel's presence. Then he fell down and lay there naked all that day and all that night. That's why it is said, “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
