صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 31
| وَحَارَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَهَرَبَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَسَقَطُوا قَتْلَى فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ. | ١ 1 |
Now the Philistines fought against Israel. The men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell down dead on Mount Gilboa.
| فَشَدَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ وَبَنِيهِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يُونَاثَانَ وَأَبِينَادَابَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ أَبْنَاءَ شَاوُلَ. | ٢ 2 |
The Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons. The Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua, his sons.
| وَٱشْتَدَّتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ عَلَى شَاوُلَ فَأَصَابَهُ ٱلرُّمَاةُ رِجَالُ ٱلْقِسِيِّ، فَٱنْجَرَحَ جِدًّا مِنَ ٱلرُّمَاةِ. | ٣ 3 |
The battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers overtook him. He was in severe pain because of them.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِحَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «ٱسْتَلَّ سَيْفَكَ وَٱطْعَنِّي بِهِ لِئَلَّا يَأْتِيَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْغُلْفُ وَيَطْعَنُونِي وَيُقَبِّحُونِي». فَلَمْ يَشَأْ حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ لِأَنَّهُ خَافَ جِدًّا. فَأَخَذَ شَاوُلُ ٱلسَّيْفَ وَسَقَطَ عَلَيْهِ. | ٤ 4 |
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it. Otherwise, these uncircumcised will come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ شَاوُلُ، سَقَطَ هُوَ أَيْضًا عَلَى سَيْفِهِ وَمَاتَ مَعَهُ. | ٥ 5 |
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died with him.
| فَمَاتَ شَاوُلُ وَبَنُوهُ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَعًا. | ٦ 6 |
So Saul died, his three sons, and his armor bearer—these men all died together that same day.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْوَادِي وَٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ أَنَّ رِجَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ هَرَبُوا، وَأَنَّ شَاوُلَ وَبَنِيهِ قَدْ مَاتُوا، تَرَكُوا ٱلْمُدُنَ وَهَرَبُوا. فَأَتَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَسَكَنُوا بِهَا. | ٧ 7 |
When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and lived in them.
| وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ لَمَّا جَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِيُعَرُّوا ٱلْقَتْلَى، وَجَدُوا شَاوُلَ وَبَنِيهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ سَاقِطِينَ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ. | ٨ 8 |
It came about on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
| فَقَطَعُوا رَأْسَهُ وَنَزَعُوا سِلَاحَهُ، وَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فِي كُلِّ جِهَةٍ لِأَجْلِ ٱلتَّبْشِيرِ فِي بَيْتِ أَصْنَامِهِمْ وَفِي ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٩ 9 |
They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent messengers into the land of the Philistines throughout to carry the news to their idols' temples and to the people.
| وَوَضَعُوا سِلَاحَهُ فِي بَيْتِ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَسَمَّرُوا جَسَدَهُ عَلَى سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ. | ١٠ 10 |
They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the city wall of Beth Shan.
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ سُكَّانُ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بِشَاوُلَ، | ١١ 11 |
When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
| قَامَ كُلُّ ذِي بَأْسٍ وَسَارُوا ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ، وَأَخَذُوا جَسَدَ شَاوُلَ وَأَجْسَادَ بَنِيهِ عَنْ سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ، وَجَاءُوا بِهَا إِلَى يَابِيشَ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا هُنَاكَ. | ١٢ 12 |
all the fighting men arose and went all night and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan. They went to Jabesh and burned them there.
| وَأَخَذُوا عِظَامَهُمْ وَدَفَنُوهَا تَحْتَ ٱلْأَثْلَةِ فِي يَابِيشَ، وَصَامُوا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
Then they took their bones and buried them under a tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
