صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 25
| وَمَاتَ صَمُوئِيلُ، فَٱجْتَمَعَ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَدَبُوهُ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ. وَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَنَزَلَ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ. | ١ 1 |
Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house at Ramah. Then David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
| وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ فِي مَعُونٍ، وَأَمْلَاكُهُ فِي ٱلْكَرْمَلِ، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّجُلُ عَظِيمًا جِدًّا وَلَهُ ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَأَلْفٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَعْزِ، وَكَانَ يَجُزُّ غَنَمَهُ فِي ٱلْكَرْمَلِ. | ٢ 2 |
There was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
| وَٱسْمُ ٱلرَّجُلِ نَابَالُ وَٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ أَبِيجَايِلُ. وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ جَيِّدَةَ ٱلْفَهْمِ وَجَمِيلَةَ ٱلصُّورَةِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلرَّجُلُ فَكَانَ قَاسِيًا وَرَدِيءَ ٱلْأَعْمَالِ، وَهُوَ كَالِبِيٌّ. | ٣ 3 |
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail. This woman was intelligent and had a beautiful face; but the man was surly and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.
| فَسَمِعَ دَاوُدُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَنَّ نَابَالَ يَجُزُّ غَنَمَهُ. | ٤ 4 |
David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
| فَأَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ عَشْرَةَ غِلْمَانٍ، وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْغِلْمَانِ: «ٱصْعَدُوا إِلَى ٱلْكَرْمَلِ وَٱدْخُلُوا إِلَى نَابَالَ وَٱسْأَلُوا بِٱسْمِي عَنْ سَلَامَتِهِ، | ٥ 5 |
David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
| وَقُولُوا هَكَذَا: حَيِيتَ وَأَنْتَ سَالِمٌ، وَبَيْتُكَ سَالِمٌ، وَكُلُّ مَالِكَ سَالِمٌ. | ٦ 6 |
Tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you! Peace be to your house! Peace be to all that you have!
| وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ أَنَّ عِنْدَكَ جَزَّازِينَ. حِينَ كَانَ رُعَاتُكَ مَعَنَا، لَمْ نُؤْذِهِمْ وَلَمْ يُفْقَدْ لَهُمْ شَيْءٌ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي كَانُوا فِيهَا فِي ٱلْكَرْمَلِ. | ٧ 7 |
Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t harm them. Nothing was missing from them all the time they were in Carmel.
| اِسْأَلْ غِلْمَانَكَ فَيُخْبِرُوكَ. فَلْيَجِدِ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ جِئْنَا فِي يَوْمٍ طَيِّبٍ، فَأَعْطِ مَا وَجَدَتْهُ يَدُكَ لِعَبِيدِكَ وَلِٱبْنِكَ دَاوُدَ». | ٨ 8 |
Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David.’”
| فَجَاءَ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ وَكَلَّمُوا نَابَالَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ بِٱسْمِ دَاوُدَ وَكَفُّوا. | ٩ 9 |
When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in the name of David, and waited.
| فَأَجَابَ نَابَالُ عَبِيدَ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ هُوَ دَاوُدُ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ ٱبْنُ يَسَّى؟ قَدْ كَثُرَ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْعَبِيدُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقْحَصُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَمَامِ سَيِّدِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Nabal answered David’s servants and said, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.
| أَآخُذُ خُبْزِي وَمَائِي وَذَبِيحِيَ ٱلَّذِي ذَبَحْتُ لِجَازِّيَّ وَأُعْطِيهِ لِقَوْمٍ لَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُمْ؟». | ١١ 11 |
Shall I then take my bread, my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”
| فَتَحَوَّلَ غِلْمَانُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى طَرِيقِهِمْ وَرَجَعُوا وَجَاءُوا وَأَخْبَرُوهُ حَسَبَ كُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ. | ١٢ 12 |
So David’s young men turned on their way and went back, and came and told him all these words.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِرِجَالِهِ: «لِيَتَقَلَّدْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ سَيْفَهُ». فَتَقَلَّدَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سَيْفَهُ، وَتَقَلَّدَ دَاوُدُ أَيْضًا سَيْفَهُ. وَصَعِدَ وَرَاءَ دَاوُدَ نَحْوُ أَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ، وَمَكَثَ مِئَتَانِ مَعَ ٱلْأَمْتِعَةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.
| فَأَخْبَرَ أَبِيجَايِلَ ٱمْرَأَةَ نَابَالَ غُلَامٌ مِنَ ٱلْغِلْمَانِ قَائِلًا: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ أَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا مِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِيُبَارِكُوا سَيِّدَنَا فَثَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he insulted them.
| وَٱلرِّجَالُ مُحْسِنُونَ إِلَيْنَا جِدًّا، فَلَمْ نُؤْذَ وَلَا فُقِدَ مِنَّا شَيْءٌ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ تَرَدُّدِنَا مَعَهُمْ وَنَحْنُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. | ١٥ 15 |
But the men were very good to us, and we were not harmed, and we didn’t miss anything as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.
| كَانُوا سُورًا لَنَا لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي كُنَّا فِيهَا مَعَهُمْ نَرْعَى ٱلْغَنَمَ. | ١٦ 16 |
They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
| وَٱلْآنَ ٱعْلَمِي وَٱنْظُرِي مَاذَا تَعْمَلِينَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّرَّ قَدْ أُعِدَّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا وَعَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ لَئِيمٍ لَا يُمْكِنُ ٱلْكَلَامُ مَعَهُ». | ١٧ 17 |
Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master and against all his house, for he is such a worthless fellow that one can’t speak to him.”
| فَبَادَرَتْ أَبِيجَايِلُ وَأَخَذَتْ مِئَتَيْ رَغِيفِ خُبْزٍ، وَزِقَّيْ خَمْرٍ، وَخَمْسَةَ خِرْفَانٍ مُهَيَّأَةً، وَخَمْسَ كَيْلَاتٍ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِيكِ، وَمِئَتَيْ عُنْقُودٍ مِنَ ٱلزَّبِيبِ، وَمِئَتَيْ قُرْصٍ مِنَ ٱلتِّينِ، وَوَضَعَتْهَا عَلَى ٱلْحَمِيرِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two containers of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five seahs of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
| وَقَالَتْ لِغِلْمَانِهَا: «ٱعْبُرُوا قُدَّامِي. هَأَنَذَا جَائِيَةٌ وَرَاءَكُمْ». وَلَمْ تُخْبِرْ رَجُلَهَا نَابَالَ. | ١٩ 19 |
She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I am coming after you.” But she didn’t tell her husband, Nabal.
| وَفِيمَا هِيَ رَاكِبَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْحِمَارِ وَنَازِلَةٌ فِي سُتْرَةِ ٱلْجَبَلِ، إِذَا بِدَاوُدَ وَرِجَالِهِ مُنْحَدِرُونَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهَا، فَصَادَفَتْهُمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
As she rode on her donkey, and came down hidden by the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «إِنَّمَا بَاطِلًا حَفِظْتُ كُلَّ مَا لِهَذَا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، فَلَمْ يُفْقَدْ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا لَهُ شَيْءٌ، فَكَافَأَنِي شَرًّا بَدَلَ خَيْرٍ. | ٢١ 21 |
Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.
| هَكَذَا يَصْنَعُ ٱللهُ لِأَعْدَاءِ دَاوُدَ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ، إِنْ أَبْقَيْتُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا لَهُ إِلَى ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ بَائِلًا بِحَائِطٍ». | ٢٢ 22 |
God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”
| وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَبِيجَايِلُ دَاوُدَ أَسْرَعَتْ وَنَزَلَتْ عَنِ ٱلْحِمَارِ، وَسَقَطَتْ أَمَامَ دَاوُدَ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا وَسَجَدَتْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ٢٣ 23 |
When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off her donkey, and fell before David on her face and bowed herself to the ground.
| وَسَقَطَتْ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ وَقَالَتْ: «عَلَيَّ أَنَا يَا سَيِّدِي هَذَا ٱلذَّنْبُ، وَدَعْ أَمَتَكَ تَتَكَلَّمُ فِي أُذُنَيْكَ وَٱسْمَعْ كَلَامَ أَمَتِكَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
She fell at his feet and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the blame! Please let your servant speak in your ears. Hear the words of your servant.
| لَا يَضَعَنَّ سَيِّدِي قَلْبَهُ عَلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱللَّئِيمِ هَذَا، عَلَى نَابَالَ، لِأَنَّ كَٱسْمِهِ هَكَذَا هُوَ. نَابَالُ ٱسْمُهُ وَٱلْحَمَاقَةُ عِنْدَهُ. وَأَنَا أَمَتَكَ لَمْ أَرَ غِلْمَانَ سَيِّدِي ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلْتَهُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Please don’t let my lord pay attention to this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men whom you sent.
| وَٱلْآنَ يَا سَيِّدِي، حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ، إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ مَنَعَكَ عَنْ إِتْيَانِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ وَٱنْتِقَامِ يَدِكَ لِنَفْسِكَ. وَٱلْآنَ فَلْيَكُنْ كَنَابَالَ أَعْدَاؤُكَ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ لِسَيِّدِي. | ٢٦ 26 |
Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, since the LORD has withheld you from blood guiltiness and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies and those who seek evil to my lord be as Nabal.
| وَٱلْآنَ هَذِهِ ٱلْبَرَكَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَتَتْ بِهَا جَارِيَتُكَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي فَلْتُعْطَ لِلْغِلْمَانِ ٱلسَّائِرِينَ وَرَاءَ سَيِّدِي. | ٢٧ 27 |
Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
| وَٱصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ أَمَتِكَ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَصْنَعُ لِسَيِّدِي بَيْتًا أَمِينًا، لِأَنَّ سَيِّدِي يُحَارِبُ حُرُوبَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يُوجَدْ فِيكَ شَرٌّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِكَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the LORD’s battles. Evil will not be found in you all your days.
| وَقَدْ قَامَ رَجُلٌ لِيُطَارِدَكَ وَيَطْلُبَ نَفْسَكَ، وَلَكِنْ نَفْسُ سَيِّدِي لِتَكُنْ مَحْزُومَةً فِي حُزْمَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ مَعَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. وَأَمَّا نَفْسُ أَعْدَائِكَ فَلْيَرْمِ بِهَا كَمَا مِنْ وَسَطِ كَفَّةِ ٱلْمِقْلَاعِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Though men may rise up to pursue you and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies as from a sling’s pocket.
| وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَمَا يَصْنَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِسَيِّدِي حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ، وَيُقِيمُكَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٣٠ 30 |
It will come to pass, when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel,
| أَنَّهُ لَا تَكُونُ لَكَ هَذِهِ مَصْدَمَةً وَمَعْثَرَةَ قَلْبٍ لِسَيِّدِي، أَنَّكَ قَدْ سَفَكْتَ دَمًا عَفْوًا، أَوْ أَنَّ سَيِّدِي قَدِ ٱنْتَقَمَ لِنَفْسِهِ. وَإِذَا أَحْسَنَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى سَيِّدِي فَٱذْكُرْ أَمَتَكَ». | ٣١ 31 |
that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَبِيجَايِلَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَكِ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِي، | ٣٢ 32 |
David said to Abigail, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!
| وَمُبَارَكٌ عَقْلُكِ، وَمُبَارَكَةٌ أَنْتِ، لِأَنَّكِ مَنَعْتِنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنْ إِتْيَانِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ وَٱنْتِقَامِ يَدِي لِنَفْسِي. | ٣٣ 33 |
Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.
| وَلَكِنْ حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي مَنَعَنِي عَنْ أَذِيَّتِكِ، إِنَّكِ لَوْ لَمْ تُبَادِرِي وَتَأْتِي لِٱسْتِقْبَالِي، لَمَا أُبْقِيَ لِنَابَالَ إِلَى ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ بَائِلٌ بِحَائِطٍ». | ٣٤ 34 |
For indeed, as the LORD the God of Israel lives, who has withheld me from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”
| فَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ يَدِهَا مَا أَتَتْ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهَا: «ٱصْعَدِي بِسَلَامٍ إِلَى بَيْتِكِ. اُنْظُرِي. قَدْ سَمِعْتُ لِصَوْتِكِ وَرَفَعْتُ وَجْهَكِ». | ٣٥ 35 |
So David received from her hand that which she had brought him. Then he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice and have granted your request.”
| فَجَاءَتْ أَبِيجَايِلُ إِلَى نَابَالَ وَإِذَا وَلِيمَةٌ عِنْدَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ كَوَلِيمَةِ مَلِكٍ. وَكَانَ نَابَالُ قَدْ طَابَ قَلْبُهُ وَكَانَ سَكْرَانَ جِدًّا، فَلَمْ تُخْبِرْهُ بِشَيْءٍ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ إِلَى ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house like the feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing until the morning light.
| وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ ٱلْخَمْرِ مِنْ نَابَالَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَمَاتَ قَلْبُهُ دَاخِلَهُ وَصَارَ كَحَجَرٍ. | ٣٧ 37 |
In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
| وَبَعْدَ نَحْوِ عَشْرَةَ أَيَّامٍ ضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ نَابَالَ فَمَاتَ. | ٣٨ 38 |
About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ نَابَالَ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي ٱنْتَقَمَ نَقْمَةَ تَعْيِيرِي مِنْ يَدِ نَابَالَ، وَأَمْسَكَ عَبْدَهُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَرَدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ شَرَّ نَابَالَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ». وَأَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَ أَبِيجَايِلَ لِيَتَّخِذَهَا لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً. | ٣٩ 39 |
When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. The LORD has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.
| فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى أَبِيجَايِلَ إِلَى ٱلْكَرْمَلِ وَكَلَّمُوهَا قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنَا إِلَيْكِ لِكَيْ نَتَّخِذَكِ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً». | ٤٠ 40 |
When David’s servants had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as wife.”
| فَقَامَتْ وَسَجَدَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَقَالَتْ: «هُوَذَا أَمَتُكَ جَارِيَةٌ لِغَسْلِ أَرْجُلِ عَبِيدِ سَيِّدِي». | ٤١ 41 |
She arose and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
| ثُمَّ بَادَرَتْ وَقَامَتْ أَبِيجَايِلُ وَرَكِبَتِ ٱلْحِمَارَ مَعَ خَمْسِ فَتَيَاتٍ لَهَا ذَاهِبَاتٍ وَرَاءَهَا، وَسَارَتْ وَرَاءَ رُسُلِ دَاوُدَ وَصَارَتْ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً. | ٤٢ 42 |
Abigail hurriedly arose and rode on a donkey with her five maids who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ دَاوُدُ أَخِينُوعَمَ مِنْ يَزْرَعِيلَ فَكَانَتَا لَهُ كِلْتَاهُمَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ. | ٤٣ 43 |
David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.
| فَأَعْطَى شَاوُلُ مِيكَالَ ٱبْنَتَهُ ٱمْرَأَةَ دَاوُدَ لِفَلْطِي بْنِ لَايِشَ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ جَلِّيمَ. | ٤٤ 44 |
Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
