صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 20
| فَهَرَبَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ نَايُوتَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ، وَجَاءَ وَقَالَ قُدَّامَ يُونَاثَانَ: «مَاذَا عَمِلْتُ؟ وَمَا هُوَ إِثْمِي؟ وَمَا هِيَ خَطِيَّتِي أَمَامَ أَبِيكَ حَتَّى يَطْلُبَ نَفْسِي؟» | ١ 1 |
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «حَاشَا. لَا تَمُوتُ! هُوَذَا أَبِي لَا يَعْمَلُ أَمْرًا كَبِيرًا وَلَا أَمْرًا صَغِيرًا إِلَّا وَيُخْبِرُنِي بِهِ. وَلِمَاذَا يُخْفِي عَنِّي أَبِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ؟ لَيْسَ كَذَا». | ٢ 2 |
And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father doeth nothing either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
| فَحَلَفَ أَيْضًا دَاوُدُ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ أَبَاكَ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنِّي قَدْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ، فَقَالَ: لَا يَعْلَمْ يُونَاثَانُ هَذَا لِئَلَّا يَغْتَمَّ. وَلَكِنْ حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ، إِنَّهُ كَخَطْوَةٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ». | ٣ 3 |
And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father knoweth well that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
| فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «مَهْمَا تَقُلْ نَفْسُكَ أَفْعَلْهُ لَكَ». | ٤ 4 |
Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِيُونَاثَانَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلشَّهْرُ غَدًا حِينَمَا أَجْلِسُ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِلْأَكْلِ. وَلَكِنْ أَرْسِلْنِي فَأَخْتَبِئَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ إِلَى مَسَاءِ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ. | ٥ 5 |
And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
| وَإِذَا ٱفْتَقَدَنِي أَبُوكَ، فَقُلْ: قَدْ طَلَبَ دَاوُدُ مِنِّي طِلْبَةً أَنْ يَرْكُضَ إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ مَدِينَتِهِ، لِأَنَّ هُنَاكَ ذَبِيحَةً سَنَوِيَّةً لِكُلِّ ٱلْعَشِيرَةِ. | ٦ 6 |
If thy father miss me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
| فَإِنْ قَالَ هَكَذاَ: حَسَنًا. كَانَ سَلَامٌ لِعَبْدِكَ. وَلَكِنْ إِنِ ٱغْتَاظَ غَيْظًا، فَٱعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أُعِدَّ ٱلشَّرُّ عِنْدَهُ. | ٧ 7 |
If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be wroth, then know that evil is determined by him.
| فَتَعْمَلُ مَعْرُوفًا مَعَ عَبْدِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ بِعَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَدْخَلْتَ عَبْدَكَ مَعَكَ. وَإِنْ كَانَ فِيَّ إِثْمٌ فَٱقْتُلْنِي أَنْتَ، وَلِمَاذَا تَأْتِي بِي إِلَى أَبِيكَ؟». | ٨ 8 |
Therefore deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
| فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «حَاشَا لَكَ! لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ٱلشَّرَّ قَدْ أُعِدَّ عِنْدَ أَبِي لِيَأْتِيَ عَلَيْكَ، أَفَمَا كُنْتُ أُخْبِرُكَ بِهِ؟». | ٩ 9 |
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِيُونَاثَانَ: «مَنْ يُخْبِرُنِي إِنْ جَاوَبَكَ أَبُوكَ شَيْئًا قَاسِيًا؟». | ١٠ 10 |
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly?
| فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «تَعَالَ نَخْرُجُ إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ». فَخَرَجَا كِلَاهُمَا إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ. | ١١ 11 |
And Jonathan said unto David, Come and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
| وَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَتَى ٱخْتَبَرْتُ أَبِي مِثْلَ ٱلْآنَ غَدًا أَوْ بَعْدَ غَدٍ، فَإِنْ كَانَ خَيْرٌ لِدَاوُدَ وَلَمْ أُرْسِلْ حِينَئِذٍ فَأُخْبِرَهُ، | ١٢ 12 |
And Jonathan said unto David, The LORD, the God of Israel, [be witness]; when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, [or] the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee?
| فَهَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيُونَاثَانَ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ. وَإِنِ ٱسْتَحْسَنَ أَبِي ٱلشَّرَّ نَحْوَكَ، فَإِنِّي أُخْبِرُكَ وَأُطْلِقُكَ فَتَذْهَبُ بِسَلَامٍ. وَلْيَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكَ كَمَا كَانَ مَعَ أَبِي. | ١٣ 13 |
The LORD do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
| وَلَا وَأَنَا حَيٌّ بَعْدُ تَصْنَعُ مَعِي إِحْسَانَ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى لَا أَمُوتَ، | ١٤ 14 |
And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
| بَلْ لَا تَقْطَعُ مَعْرُوفَكَ عَنْ بَيْتِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا حِينَ يَقْطَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَعْدَاءَ دَاوُدَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٥ 15 |
but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
| فَعَاهَدَ يُونَاثَانُ بَيْتَ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: «لِيَطْلُبِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَاءِ دَاوُدَ». | ١٦ 16 |
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, [saying], And the LORD shall require it at the hand of David’s enemies.
| ثُمَّ عَادَ يُونَاثَانُ وَٱسْتَحْلَفَ دَاوُدَ بِمَحَبَّتِهِ لَهُ لِأَنَّهُ أَحَبَّهُ مَحَبَّةَ نَفْسِهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ يُونَاثَانُ: «غَدًا ٱلشَّهْرُ، فَتُفْتَقَدُ لِأَنَّ مَوْضِعَكَ يَكُونُ خَالِيًا. | ١٨ 18 |
Then Jonathan said unto him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
| وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ تَنْزِلُ سَرِيعًا وَتَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَبَأْتَ فِيهِ يَوْمَ ٱلْعَمَلِ، وَتَجْلِسُ بِجَانِبِ حَجَرِ ٱلِٱفْتِرَاقِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And when thou hast stayed three days, thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
| وَأَنَا أَرْمِي ثَلَاثَةَ سِهَامٍ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ كَأَنِّي أَرْمِي غَرَضًا. | ٢٠ 20 |
And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
| وَحِينَئِذٍ أُرْسِلُ ٱلْغُلَامَ قَائِلًا: ٱذْهَبِ ٱلْتَقِطِ ٱلسِّهَامَ. فَإِنْ قُلْتُ لِلْغُلَامِ: هُوَذَا ٱلسِّهَامُ دُونَكَ فَجَائِيًا، خُذْهَا. فَتَعَالَ، لِأَنَّ لَكَ سَلَامًا. لَا يُوجَدُ شَيْءٌ، حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢١ 21 |
And, behold, I will send the lad, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee: take them, and come; for there is peace to thee and no hurt, as the LORD liveth.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قُلْتُ هَكَذَا لِلْغُلَامِ: هُوَذَا ٱلسِّهَامُ دُونَكَ فَصَاعِدًا. فَٱذْهَبْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَطْلَقَكَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But if I say thus unto the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee: go thy way; for the LORD hath sent thee away.
| وَأَمَّا ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْنَا بِهِ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ، فَهُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ٢٣ 23 |
And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between thee and me for ever.
| فَٱخْتَبَأَ دَاوُدُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. وَكَانَ ٱلشَّهْرُ، فَجَلَسَ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَلَى ٱلطَّعَامِ لِيَأْكُلَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
| فَجَلَسَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ عَلَى مَجْلِسٍ عِنْدَ ٱلْحَائِطِ. وَقَامَ يُونَاثَانُ وَجَلَسَ أَبْنَيْرُ إِلَى جَانِبِ شَاوُلَ، وَخَلَا مَوْضِعُ دَاوُدَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side: but David’s place was empty.
| وَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَاوُلُ شَيْئًا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَعَلَّهُ عَارِضٌ. غَيْرُ طَاهِرٍ هُوَ. إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ طَاهِرًا». | ٢٦ 26 |
Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ ٱلثَّانِي مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ أَنَّ مَوْضِعَ دَاوُدَ خَلَا، فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِيُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِهِ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ يَأْتِ ٱبْنُ يَسَّى إِلَى ٱلطَّعَامِ لَا أَمْسِ وَلَا ٱلْيَوْمَ؟» | ٢٧ 27 |
And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, [which was] the second [day], that David’s place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor today?
| فَأَجَابَ يُونَاثَانُ شَاوُلَ: «إِنَّ دَاوُدَ طَلَبَ مِنِّي أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ، | ٢٨ 28 |
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem:
| وَقَالَ: أَطْلِقْنِي لِأَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذَبِيحَةَ عَشِيرَةٍ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَقَدْ أَوْصَانِي أَخِي بِذَلِكَ. وَٱلْآنَ إِنْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ فَدَعْنِي أُفْلِتُ وَأَرَى إِخْوَتِي. لِذَلِكَ لَمْ يَأْتِ إِلَى مَائِدَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ». | ٢٩ 29 |
and he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me [to be there]: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he is not come unto the king’s table.
| فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ شَاوُلَ عَلَى يُونَاثَانَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا ٱبْنَ ٱلْمُتَعَوِّجَةِ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدَةِ، أَمَا عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ قَدِ ٱخْتَرْتَ ٱبْنَ يَسَّى لِخِزْيِكَ وَخِزْيِ عَوْرَةِ أُمِّكَ؟ | ٣٠ 30 |
Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of a perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and unto the shame of thy mother’s nakedness?
| لِأَنَّهُ مَا دَامَ ٱبْنُ يَسَّى حَيًّا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ لَا تُثْبَتُ أَنْتَ وَلَا مَمْلَكَتُكَ. وَٱلْآنَ أَرْسِلْ وَأْتِ بِهِ إِلَيَّ لِأَنَّهُ ٱبْنُ ٱلْمَوْتِ هُوَ». | ٣١ 31 |
For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be stablished, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
| فَأَجَابَ يُونَاثَانُ شَاوُلَ أَبَاهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا يُقْتَلُ؟ مَاذَا عَمِلَ؟». | ٣٢ 32 |
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore should he be put to death? what hath he done?
| فَصَابَى شَاوُلُ ٱلرُّمْحَ نَحْوَهُ لِيَطْعَنَهُ، فَعَلِمَ يُونَاثَانُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ قَدْ عَزَمَ عَلَى قَتْلِ دَاوُدَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to put David to death.
| فَقَامَ يُونَاثَانُ عَنِ ٱلْمَائِدَةِ بِحُمُوِّ غَضَبٍ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ خُبْزًا فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱغْتَمَّ عَلَى دَاوُدَ، لِأَنَّ أَبَاهُ قَدْ أَخْزَاهُ. | ٣٤ 34 |
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ أَنَّ يُونَاثَانَ خَرَجَ إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ إِلَى مِيعَادِ دَاوُدَ، وَغُلَامٌ صَغِيرٌ مَعَهُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
| وَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ: «ٱرْكُضِ ٱلْتَقِطِ ٱلسِّهَامَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا رَامِيهَا». وَبَيْنَمَا ٱلْغُلَامُ رَاكِضٌ رَمَى ٱلسَّهْمَ حَتَّى جَاوَزَهُ. | ٣٦ 36 |
And he said unto his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
| وَلَمَّا جَاءَ ٱلْغُلَامُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ ٱلسَّهْمِ ٱلَّذِي رَمَاهُ يُونَاثَانُ، نَادَى يُونَاثَانُ وَرَاءَ ٱلْغُلَامِ وَقَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ ٱلسَّهْمُ دُونَكَ فَصَاعِدًا؟». | ٣٧ 37 |
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
| وَنَادَى يُونَاثَانُ وَرَاءَ ٱلْغُلَامِ قَائِلًا: «ٱعْجَلْ. أَسْرِعْ. لَا تَقِفْ». فَٱلْتَقَطَ غُلَامُ يُونَاثَانَ ٱلسَّهْمَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى سَيِّدِهِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
| وَٱلْغُلَامُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا، وَأَمَّا يُونَاثَانُ وَدَاوُدُ فَكَانَا يَعْلَمَانِ ٱلْأَمْرَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
| فَأَعْطَى يُونَاثَانُ سِلَاحَهُ لِلْغُلَامِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱذْهَبِ. ٱدْخُلْ بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ». | ٤٠ 40 |
And Jonathan gave his weapons unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
| اَلْغُلَامُ ذَهَبَ وَدَاوُدُ قَامَ مِنْ جَانِبِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَسَقَطَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ. وَقَبَّلَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ، وَبَكَى كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا مَعَ صَاحِبِهِ حَتَّى زَادَ دَاوُدُ. | ٤١ 41 |
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of [a place] toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
| فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «ٱذْهَبْ بِسَلَامٍ لِأَنَّنَا كِلَيْنَا قَدْ حَلَفْنَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلَيْنِ: ٱلرَّبُّ يَكُونُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ نَسْلِي وَنَسْلِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ، وَأَمَّا يُونَاثَانُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
