< 1 صَمُوئيل 15 >

وَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «أَنَا الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي الرَّبُّ لأُنَصِّبَكَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَاسْمَعِ الآنَ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ. ١ 1
Samuel also said to Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou to the voice of the words of the LORD.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ: إِنِّي مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أُعَاقِبَ عَمَالِيقَ جَزَاءَ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ فِي حَقِّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ حِينَ تَصَدَّى لَهُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ. ٢ 2
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
فَاذْهَبِ الآنَ وَهَاجِمْ عَمَالِيقَ وَاقْضِ عَلَى كُلِّ مَالَهُ. لَا تَعْفُ عَنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ بَلِ اقْتُلْهُمْ جَمِيعاً رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً، وَأَطْفَالاً وَرُضَّعاً، بَقَراً وَغَنَماً، جِمَالاً وَحَمِيراً». ٣ 3
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.
فَاسْتَدْعَى جَيْشَهُ وَأَحْصَاهُ فِي طَلايِمَ، فَبَلَغَ عَدَدُهُ مِئَتَيْ أَلْفِ رَاجِلٍ، فَضْلاً عَنْ عَشَرَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا. ٤ 4
And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
وَتَوَجَّهَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ عَمَالِيقَ وَكَمَنَ فِي الْوَادِي. ٥ 5
And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
وَبَعَثَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى الْقَيْنِيِّينَ قَائِلاً: «انْسَحِبُوا مِنْ بَيْنِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ لِئَلّا أُهْلِكَكُمْ مَعَهُمْ، فَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ». فَانْسَحَبَ الْقَيْنِيُّونَ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ. ٦ 6
And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, withdraw yourselves from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up from Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
وَهَجَمَ شَاوُلُ عَلَى الْعَمَالِقَةِ عَلَى طُولِ الطَّرِيقِ مِنْ حَوِيلَةَ حَتَّى مَشَارِفِ شُورٍ مُقَابِلَ مِصْرَ. ٧ 7
And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is east of Egypt.
وَأَسَرَ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ عَمَالِيقَ حَيًّا، وَقَضَى عَلَى جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ. ٨ 8
And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
وَعَفَا شَاوُلُ عَنْ أَجَاجَ وَعَنْ خِيَارِ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ وَالْعُجُولِ وَالْخِرَافِ، وَعَنْ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ جَيِّدٌ، وَأَبَوْا أَنْ يَقْضُوا عَلَيْهَا، وَلَمْ يُدَمِّرُوا إِلّا الْأمْلاكَ وَالْغَنَائِمَ الَّتِي لَا قِيمَةَ لَهَا. ٩ 9
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: ١٠ 10
Then came the word of the LORD to Samuel, saying,
«لَقَدْ نَدِمْتُ لأَنِّي جَعَلْتُ شَاوُلَ مَلِكاً، فَقَدِ ارْتَدَّ عَنِ اتِّبَاعِي وَلَمْ يُطِعْ أَمْرِي». فَحَزِنَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَصَلَّى إِلَى الرَّبِّ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ. ١١ 11
I repent that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried to the LORD all night.
وَفِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي بَاكِراً مَضَى صَمُوئِيلُ لِلِقَاءِ شَاوُلَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «لَقَدْ جَاءَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى الْكَرْمَلِ حَيْثُ أَقَامَ لِنَفْسِهِ نَصَباً تَذْكَارِيًّا، ثُمَّ الْتَفَّ وَانْحَدَرَ نَحْوَ الْجِلْجَالِ». ١٢ 12
And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and hast gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
وَعِنْدَمَا الْتَقَى صَمُوئِيلُ بِشَاوُلَ، قَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لِيُبَارِكْكَ الرَّبُّ. لَقَدْ نَفَّذْتُ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ» ١٣ 13
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
فَسَأَلَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «وَمَاذَا تَقُولُ عَنْ ثُغَاءِ الْغَنَمِ وَصَوْتِ الثِّيرَانِ الَّتِي تَضِجُّ فِي مَسَامِعِي؟» ١٤ 14
And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
فَأَجَابَ شَاوُلُ: «إِنَّهَا مِنْ غَنَائِمِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ، لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ عَفَا عَنْ خِيَارِ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ لِيُقَدِّمَهَا ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَأَمَّا مَا تَبَقَّى فَقَدْ دَمَّرْنَاهُ». ١٥ 15
And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «اصْمُتْ لأُنْبِئَكَ بِمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ». فَأَجَابَهُ: «تَكَلَّمْ». ١٦ 16
Then Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «أَلَمْ تَكُنْ تَحْسَبُ نَفْسَكَ حَقِيراً، وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ جَعَلَكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَقَامَكَ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ، ١٧ 17
And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thy own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
وَكَلَّفَكَ بِمُحَارَبَةِ عَمَالِيقَ وَالْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءً مُبْرَماً؟ ١٨ 18
And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.
فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تُطِعْ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، بَلْ تَهَافَتَّ عَلَى الْغَنِيمَةِ وَارْتَكَبْتَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ؟» ١٩ 19
Why then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?
فَأَجَابَ شَاوُلُ: «قَدْ أَطَعْتُ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ وَنَفَّذْتُ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ بِهِ، وَأَسَرْتُ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ عَمَالِيقَ وَقَضَيْتُ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ. ٢٠ 20
And Saul said to Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
فَاخْتَارَ الْقَوْمُ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ أَفْضَلَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ لِتَقْرِيبِهَا ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ». ٢١ 21
But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD thy God in Gilgal.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «هَلْ يُسَرُّ الرَّبُّ بِالذَّبَائِحِ وَالْمُحْرَقَاتِ كَسُرُورِهِ بِالاسْتِمَاعِ إِلَى صَوْتِهِ؟ إِنَّ الاسْتِمَاعَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الذَّبِيحَةِ، وَالإِصْغَاءَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ شَحْمِ الْكِبَاشِ. ٢٢ 22
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
فَالتَّمَرُّدُ مُمَاثِلٌ لِخَطِيئَةِ الْعِرَافَةِ، وَالْعِنَادُ شَبِيهٌ بِشَرِّ عِبَادَةِ الْوَثَنِ وَالإِثْمِ. ولأَنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ فَقَدْ رَفَضَكَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ». ٢٣ 23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ لأَنِّي عَصَيْتُ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ وَوَصِيَّتَكَ، إِذْ خَشِيتُ الشَّعْبَ فَسَمِعْتُ لِقَوْلِهِمْ. ٢٤ 24
And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
فَاصْفَحِ الآنَ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِي وَارْجِعْ مَعِي لأَسْجُدَ لِلرَّبِّ» ٢٥ 25
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «لَنْ أَرْجِعَ مَعَكَ؛ لأَنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ رَفَضَكَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٢٦ 26
And Samuel said to Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
وَاسْتَدَارَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِيَمْضِيَ، فَتَشَبَّثَ شَاوُلُ بِهُدْبِ جِبَّتِهِ، فَتَمَزَّقَ هُدْبُ الْجِبَّةِ. ٢٧ 27
And as Samuel turned about to depart, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it tore.
فَقَالَ لَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ: «يُمَزِّقُ الرَّبُّ مَمْلَكَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْكَ وَيَهَبُهَا لِمَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ. ٢٨ 28
And Samuel said to him, The LORD hath torn the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.
فَإِنَّ قُوَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ (أَيِ اللهِ) لَا يَكْذِبُ وَلا يَنْدَمُ. لَيْسَ هُوَ إِنْسَاناً حَتَّى يُغَيِّرَ رَأْيَهُ». ٢٩ 29
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ، وَلَكِنْ أَكْرِمْنِي أَمَامَ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِي وَأَمَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، وَعُدْ مَعِي لأَسْجُدَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ». ٣٠ 30
Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.
فَانْطَلَقَ صَمُوئِيلُ مَعَ شَاوُلَ حَيْثُ سَجَدَ شَاوُلُ لِلرَّبِّ. ٣١ 31
So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
ثُمَّ قَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «قَدِّمُوا إِلَيَّ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ الْعَمَالِقَةِ». فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ أَجَاجُ فَرِحاً قَائِلاً لِنَفْسِهِ: «حَقّاً قَدْ تَلاشَتْ مَرَارَةُ الْمَوْتِ». ٣٢ 32
Then said Samuel, Bring ye here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came to him cheerfully. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
وَقَالَ لَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ: «كَمَا أَثْكَلَ سَيْفُكَ النِّسَاءَ لِتُثْكَلْ كَذَلِكَ أُمُّكَ بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ». وَقَطَّعَ صَمُوئِيلُ أَجَاجَ إِرْباً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ. ٣٣ 33
And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
ثُمَّ مَضَى صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى الرَّامَةِ، أَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَتَوجَّهَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فِي جِبْعَةِ شَاوُلَ. ٣٤ 34
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
وَامْتَنَعَ صَمُوئِيلُ عَنْ رُؤْيَةِ شَاوُلَ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّ قَلْبَهُ تَمَزَّقَ أَسىً عَلَيْهِ. أَمَّا الرَّبُّ فَقَدْ أَسِفَ لأَنَّهُ أَقَامَ شَاوُلَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٣٥ 35
And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
