< 1 صَمُوئيل 17 >

وَحَشَدَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ جُيُوشَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ وَاجْتَمَعُوا فِي سُوكُوهَ التَّابِعَةِ لِسِبْطِ يَهُوذَا، وَعَسْكَرُوا مَا بَيْنَ سُوكُوهَ وَعَزِيقَةَ فِي أَفَسِ دَمِّيمَ. ١ 1
And the Philistines gather their armies to battle, and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea, and encamp between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.
وَتَجَمَّعَ شَاوُلُ وَرِجَالُهُ وَنَزَلُوا فِي وَادِي الْبُطْمِ وَاصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ لِلِقَاءِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. ٢ 2
And Saul and the men of Israel gather together, and they encamp in the valley, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
وَوَقَفَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ، وَالإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ عَلَى جَبَلٍ آخَرَ مُقَابِلَهُمْ، يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَادٍ. ٣ 3
And the Philistines stand on the mountain on one side, and Israel stands on the mountain on the other side, and the valley was between them.
فَخَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْنِ صُفُوفِ جُيُوشِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ رَجُلٌ مُبَارِزٌ مِنْ جَتَّ يُدْعَى جُلْيَاتَ طُولُهُ سِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ وَشِبْرٌ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، ٤ 4
And there went forth a mighty man out of the army of the Philistines, Goliath, by name, out of Geth, his height [was] four cubits and a span.
يَضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ خُوذَةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَيَرْتَدِي دِرْعاً مُصَفَّحاً وَزْنُهُ خَمْسَةُ آلافِ شَاقِلٍ (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً) مِنَ النُّحَاسِ ٥ 5
And [he had] a helmet upon his head, and he wore a breastplate of chain armour; and the weight of his breastplate [was] five thousand shekels of brass and iron.
وَقَدْ لَفَّ سَاقَيْهِ بِصَفَائِحَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، كَمَا تَدَلَّى رُمْحٌ نُحَاسِيٌّ مِنْ كَتِفَيْهِ. ٦ 6
And greaves of grass [were] upon his legs, and a brazen target [was] between his shoulders.
وَكَانَتْ قَنَاةُ رُمْحِهِ شَبِيهَةً بِنَوْلِ النِّسَّاجِينَ، وَسِنَانُهُ يَزِنُ سِتَّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلِ حَدِيدٍ (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامَاتٍ)، وَكَانَ حَامِلُ تُرْسِهِ يَمْشِي أَمَامَهُ. ٧ 7
And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam, and the spear's head [was formed] of six hundred shekels of iron; and his armour-bearer went before him.
فَوَقَفَ جُلْيَاتُ يُنَادِي جَيْشَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ: «مَا بَالُكُمْ خَرَجْتُمْ تَصْطَفُّونَ لِلْحَرْبِ؟ أَلَسْتُ أَنَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ، وَأَنْتُمْ خُدَّامَ شَاوُلَ؟ انْتَخِبُوا مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ رَجُلاً يُبَارِزُنِي. ٨ 8
And he stood and cried to the army of Israel, and said to them, Why are you come forth to set yourselves in battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine, and you Hebrews of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.
فَإِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مُحَارَبَتِي وَقَتَلَنِي نُصْبِحُ لَكُمْ عَبِيداً، وَإِنْ قَهَرْتُهُ وَقَتَلْتُهُ تُصْبِحُونَ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا عَبِيداً وَتَخْدُمُونَنَا. ٩ 9
And if he shall be able to fight against me, and shall strike me, then will we be your servants: but if I should prevail and strike him, you shall be our servants, and serve us.
إِنَّنِي أُعَيِّرُ وَأَتَحَدَّى الْيَوْمَ جَيْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ! لِيَخْرُجْ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ رَجُلٌ يُبَارِزُنِي!». ١٠ 10
And the Philistine said, Behold, I have defied the armies of Israel this very day: give me a man, and we will both of us fight in single combat.
وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ شَاوُلُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَحَدِّيَاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ ارْتَعَبُوا وَجَزَعُوا جِدّاً. ١١ 11
And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed, and greatly terrified.
وَكَانَ لِدَاوُدَ بْنِ يَسَّى الأَفْرَاتِيِّ الْمُقِيمِ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمِ أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، سَبْعَةُ إِخْوَةٍ أَكْبَرَ مِنْهُ. وَكَانَ يَسَّى قَدْ شَاخَ فِي زَمَنِ شَاوُلَ وَتَقَدَّمَ فِي الْعُمْرِ. ١٢ 12
[And David son of an Ephrathite said, this Eplarathite was of Bethleem Juda, and his name was Jessae, and he had eight sons. And the man passed for an old man amongst men in the days of Saul. ]
وَكَانَ بَنُو يَسَّى الثَّلاثَةُ الْكِبَارُ قَدِ الْتَحَقُوا بِجَيْشِ شَاوُلَ وَهُمْ أَلِيآبُ الْبِكْرُ وَأَبِينَادَابُ وَشَمَّةُ. ١٣ 13
[And the three elder sons of Jessae went and followed Saul to the war, and the ] [names of his sons that went to the war were, Eliab his first-born, and his second Aminadab, and his third son Samma. ]
أَمَّا دَاوُدُ فَكَانَ أَصْغَرَ الأَبْنَاءِ جَمِيعاً. وَانْضَمَّ الثَّلاثَةُ الْكِبَارُ إِلَى صُفُوفِ شَاوُلَ. ١٤ 14
[And David himself ] [was the younger son, and the three elder followed Saul. ]
وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَتَرَدَّدُ عَلَى شَاوُلَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ لِيَرْعَى غَنَمَ أَبِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ. ١٥ 15
[And David departed and returned from Saul, ] [to feed his father’s sheep in Bethleem; ]
وَظَلَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ يَخْرُجُ مُتَحَدِّياً الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ وَمَسَاءٍ، مُدَّةَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً. ١٦ 16
[And the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and stood up forty days. ]
وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ قَالَ يَسَّى لِدَاوُدَ ابْنِهِ: «خُذْ لإِخْوَتِكَ إِيفَةً (أَيْ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ لِتْراً) مِنْ هَذَا الْفَرِيكِ، وَعَشْرَةَ أَرْغِفَةٍ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ وَارْكُضْ إِلَى الْمُعَسْكَرِ. ١٧ 17
[And Jessae said to David, Take now to your brethren an ephah of this meal, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp and give them to your brothers. ]
وَقَدِّمْ عَشَرَ قِطَعٍ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ إِلَى قَائِدِ الأَلْفِ، وَاطْمَئِنَّ عَلَى سَلامَةِ إِخْوَتِكَ وَأَحْضِرْ لِي مِنْهُمْ مَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى سَلامَتِهِمْ». ١٨ 18
[And you shall carry to the captain of the thousand ] [these ten cheeses of milk, and you shall see how your brethren fare, and learn what they lack. ]
وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ آنَئِذٍ مَعَ جَيْشِهِ وَمِنْ جُمْلَتِهِمْ إِخْوَةُ دَاوُدَ، مُعَسْكِرِينَ فِي وَادِي الْبُطْمِ، تَأَهُّباً لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. ١٩ 19
[And Saul himself and all the men of Israel were in the valley of the Oak, warring with the Philistines. ]
فَانْطَلَقَ دَاوُدُ مُبَكِّراً فِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَرَكَ الْغَنَمَ فِي عُهْدَةِ حَارِسٍ، مُحَمَّلاً بِمَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ أَبُوهُ، وَبَلَغَ الْمُعَسْكَرَ فِيمَا كَانَ الْجَيْشُ خَارِجاً للاصْطِفَافِ وَالْهُتَافِ لِلْحَرْبِ. ٢٠ 20
[And David rose early in the morning, and left the sheep to a keeper, and took and went as Jessae commanded him, and he came to the trench and to the army as it was going out to fight, and they shouted for the battle. ]
وَمَا لَبِثَتْ أَنْ تَوَاجَهَتْ صُفُوفُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ وَالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. ٢١ 21
[And Israel and the Philistines formed their lines one opposite the other. ]
فَتَرَكَ دَاوُدُ الطَّعَامَ الَّذِي يَحْمِلُهُ فِي رِعَايَةِ حَافِظِ الأَمْتِعَةِ، وَهَرْوَلَ نَحْوَ خَطِّ الْقِتَالِ يَبْحَثُ عَنْ إِخْوَتِهِ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ عَلَى سَلامَتِهِمْ. ٢٢ 22
[And David deposited his burden in the hand of a keeper, and ran to the line, and went and asked his brethren how they Were. ]
وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُحَادِثُهُمْ إِذَا بِجُلْيَاتَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ الْمُبَارِزِ مِنْ جَتَّ، يَخْرُجُ مِنْ صُفُوفِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَيُوَجِّهُ تَحَدِّيَاتِهِ إِلَى الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ. فَأَصْغَى دَاوُدُ إِلَى تَهْدِيدَاتِهِ. ٢٣ 23
[And while he was speaking with them, behold the Amessaean advanced, Goliath by name, the Philistine of Geth, of the armies of the Philistines, and he spoke ] [as before, and David heard. ]
وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَ جَيْشُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الرَّجُلَ تَرَاجَعُوا أَمَامَهُ مَذْعُورِينَ جِدّاً. ٢٤ 24
[And all the men of Israel when they saw the man fled from before him, and they were greatly terrified. ]
وَتَحَدَّثَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: «أَرَأَيْتُمْ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ الْمُبَارِزَ مِنْ صُفُوفِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟ إِنَّهُ يَسْعَى لِتَحَدِّينَا وَتَعْيِيرِنَا. إِنَّ مَنْ يَقْتُلُهُ يُغْدِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلِكُ ثَرْوَةً طَائِلَةً، وَيُزَوِّجُهُ مِنِ ابْنَتِهِ، وَيَعْفِي بَيْتَ أَبِيهِ مِنْ دَفْعِ الضَّرَائِبِ وَمِنَ التَّسْخِيرِ». ٢٥ 25
[And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man that comes up? for he has reproached Israel and has come up; and it shall be that the man who shall strike him, the king shall enrich him with great wealth and shall give him his daughter, and shall make his father’s house free in Israel. ]
فَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ الرِّجَالَ الْوَاقِفِينَ إِلَى جُوَارِهِ: «بِمَاذَا يُكَافَأُ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَقْتُلُ ذَلِكَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ وَيَمْحُو الْعَارَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ لأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ الأَغْلَفُ حَتَّى يُعَيِّرَ جَيْشَ اللهِ الْحَيِّ؟» ٢٦ 26
[and David spoke to the men who stood with him saying, Shall it indeed be done thus to the man who shall strike that Philistine, and take away reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he has defied the army of the living God? ]
فَتَلَقَّى دَاوُدُ مِنَ الْجُنُودِ جَوَاباً مُمَاثِلاً لِمَا سَمِعَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ عَنِ الْمُكَافَأَةِ الَّتِي يَنَالُهَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَقْتُلُ جُلْيَاتَ. ٢٧ 27
[And the people spoke to him according to this Word, saying Thus shall it be done to the man Who shall strike him. ]
وَسَمِعَ أَخُوهُ الأَكْبَرُ حَدِيثَهُ مَعَ الرِّجَالِ، فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُ عَلَى دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا جِئْتَ إِلَى هُنَا؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ تَرَكْتَ تِلْكَ الْغُنَيْمَاتِ الْقَلِيلَةَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ؟ لَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ غُرُورَكَ وَشَرَّ قَلْبِكَ، فَأَنَتْ لَمْ تَحْضُرْ إِلَى هُنَا إِلّا لِتَشْهَدَ الْحَرْبَ». ٢٨ 28
[And Eliab his elder brother heard as he spoke to the men, and Eliab was very angry with David and said, Why have you thus come down, and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the naughtiness of your heart, for you are come down to see the battle. ]
فَأَجَابَ دَاوُدُ: «أَيَّةُ جِنَايَةٍ ارْتَكَبْتُ الآنَ؟ أَلا يَحِقُّ لِي حَتَّى أَنْ أُوَجِّهَ سُؤَالاً؟» ٢٩ 29
[And David said what have I done now? ] [Have I no business here? ]
وَتَحَوَّلَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ نَحْوَ قَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ، أَثَارَ مَعَهُمْ نَفْسَ الْمَوْضُوعِ، فَأَجَابُوهُ بِمِثْلِ الْجَوَابِ السَّابِقِ. ٣٠ 30
[And he turned from him towards another, and he spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him ] [after the former manner. ]
وَبَلَغَ شَاوُلَ حَدِيثُ دَاوُدَ، فَاسْتَدْعَاهُ. ٣١ 31
[And the Words which David spoke were heard and were reported ] [to Saul. And he took him to himself. ]
وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لا يَذُوبَنَّ قَلْبُ أَحَدٍ خَوْفاً مِنْ هَذَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ، فَإِنَّ عَبْدَكَ يَذْهَبُ لِيُحَارِبَهُ» ٣٢ 32
And David said to Saul, Let not, I pray you, the heart of my lord be dejected within him: your servant will go, and fight with this Philistine.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَنْتَ لَا يُمْكِنُكَ الذَّهَابُ لِمُحَارَبَةِ هَذَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ، لأَنَّكَ مَازِلْتَ فَتىً، وَهُوَ رَجُلُ حَرْبٍ مُنْذُ صِبَاهُ». ٣٣ 33
And Saul said to David, You will not in anyway be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for you are a mere youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «كَانَ عَبْدُكَ يَرْعَى ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ غَنَمَ أَبِيهِ، فَجَاءَ أَسَدٌ مَعَ دُبٍّ وَاخْتَطَفَ شَاةً مِنَ الْقَطِيعِ. ٣٤ 34
And David said to Saul, Your servant was tending the flock for his father; and when a lion came and a she-bear, and took a sheep out of the flock,
فَسَعَيْتُ وَرَاءَهُ وَهَاجَمْتُهُ وَأَنْقَذْتُهَا مِنْ أَنْيَابِهِ. وَعِنْدَمَا انْقَضَّ عَلَيَّ قَبَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَقْنِهِ وَضَرَبْتُهُ فَقَتَلْتُهُ. ٣٥ 35
then I went forth after him, and struck him, and drew [the spoil] out of his mouth: and as he rose up against me, then I caught hold of his throat, and struck him, and killed him.
وَهَكَذَا قَتَلَ عَبْدُكَ الأَسَدَ وَالدُّبَّ كِلَيهِمَا، فَلْيَكُنْ هَذَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ الأَغْلَفُ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا لأَنَّهُ عَيَّرَ جَيْشَ اللهِ الْحَيِّ». ٣٦ 36
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and strike him, and remove this day a reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army of the living God?
وَاسْتَطْرَدَ دَاوُدُ: «إِنَّ الرَّبَّ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ مَخَالِبِ الأَسَدِ وَمِنْ مَخَالِبِ الدُّبِّ، يُنْقِذُنِي أَيْضاً مِنْ قَبْضَةِ هَذَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ». فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ: «امْضِ وَلْيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَكَ». ٣٧ 37
The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this uncircumcised Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord shall be with you.
وَأَلْبَسَ شَاوُلُ دَاوُدَ سُتْرَةَ حَرْبِهِ، وَوَضَعَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ خُوذَةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَمَنْطَقَهُ بِدِرْعٍ. ٣٨ 38
And Saul clothed David with a military coat, and [put] his brazen helmet on his head.
وَتَقَلَّدَ دَاوُدُ سَيْفَ شَاوُلَ، وَهَمَّ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ، وَإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ تَعَوَّدَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ قَبْلُ قَالَ لِشَاوُلَ: «لا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَمْشِيَ بِعُدَّةِ الْحَرْبِ هَذِهِ، لأَنَّنِي لَسْتُ مُعْتَاداً عَلَيْهَا». وَخَلَعَهَا عَنْهُ. ٣٩ 39
And he girded David with his sword over his coat: and he made trial walking [with them] once and again: and David said to Saul, I shall not be able to go with these, for I have not proved [them]: so they remove them from him.
وَتَنَاوَلَ عَصَاهُ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ الْتَقَطَ خَمْسَةَ حِجَارَةٍ مَلْسَاءَ مِنْ جَدْوَلِ الْوَادِي وَجَعَلَهَا فِي جِرَابِهِ، وَحَمَلَ مِقْلاعَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَاتَّجَهَ نَحْوَ جُلْيَاتَ. ٤٠ 40
And he took his staff in his hand, and he chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's scrip which he had for his store, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.
وَتَقَدَّمَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ نَحْوَ دَاوُدَ، وَحَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ يَمْشِي أَمَامَهُ. ٤١ 41
And the Philistine advanced and drew near to David, and a man bearing his shield went before him, and the Philistine looked on.
وَمَا إِنْ شَاهَدَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ دَاوُدَ حَتَّى اسْتَخَفَّ بِهِ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ فَتىً أَشْقَرَ وَسِيمَ الطَّلْعَةِ. ٤٢ 42
And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance.
فَقَالَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَلَعَلِّي كَلْبٌ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ لِمُحَارَبَتِي بِعِصِيٍّ؟» وَشَتَمَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ آلِهَةَ دَاوُدَ. ٤٣ 43
And the Philistine said to David, Am I as a dog, that you come against me with a staff and stones? [and David said, Nay, but worse than a dog.] And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِدَاوُدَ: «تَعَالَ لأَجْعَلَ لَحْمَكَ طَعَاماً لِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ». ٤٤ 44
And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
فَأَجَابَهُ دَاوُدُ: «أَنْتَ تُبَارِزُنِي بِسَيْفٍ وَرُمْحٍ وَتُرْسٍ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَآتِيكَ بِاسْمِ رَبِّ الْجُنُودِ إِلَهِ جَيْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي تَحَدَّيْتَهُ. ٤٥ 45
And David said to the Philistine, You come to me with sword, and with spear, and with shield; but I come to you in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel, which you have defied
الْيَوْمَ يُوْقِعُكَ الرَّبُّ فِي يَدِي، فَأَقْتُلُكَ وَأَقْطَعُ رَأْسَكَ، وَأُقَدِّمُ جُثَثَ جَيْشِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ لِتَكُونَ طَعَاماً لِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ وَحَيَوَانَاتِ الأَرْضِ، فَتَعْلَمُ الْمَسْكُونَةُ كُلُّهَا أَنَّ هُنَاكَ إِلَهاً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٤٦ 46
this day. And the Lord shall deliver you this day into my hand; and I will kill you, and take away your head from off you, and will give your limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God in Israel.
وَتُدْرِكُ الْجُمُوعُ الْمُحْتَشِدَةُ هُنَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِسَيْفٍ وَلا بِرُمْحٍ يُخَلِّصُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّ الْحَرْبَ لِلرَّبِّ وَهُوَ يَنْصُرُنَا عَلَيْكُمْ». ٤٧ 47
And all this assembly shall know that the Lord delivers not by sword or spear, for the battle [is] the Lord's, and the Lord will deliver you into our hands.
وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَ دَاوُدُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ يَهُبُّ مُتَقَدِّماً نَحْوَهُ، أَسْرَعَ لِلِقَائِهِ. ٤٨ 48
And the Philistine arose and went to meet David.
وَمَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى الْجِرَابِ، وَتَنَاوَلَ حَجَراً لَوَّحَ بِهِ بِمِقْلاعِهِ وَرَمَاهُ، فَأَصَابَ جَبْهَةَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ، فَغَاصَ الْحَجَرُ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ وَسَقَطَ جُلْيَاتُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ. ٤٩ 49
And David stretched out his hand to his scrip, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone penetrated through the helmet into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the ground.
وَهَكَذَا قَضَى دَاوُدُ عَلَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ بِالْمِقْلاعِ وَالْحَجَرِ وَقَتَلَهُ. وَإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِيَدِهِ سَيْفٌ ٥٠ 50
[So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him, and there was no sword in the hand of David. ]
رَكَضَ نَحْوَ جُلْيَاتَ وَاخْتَرَطَ سَيْفَهُ مِنْ غِمْدِهِ وَقَتَلَهُ وَقَطَعَ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ. فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّ جَبَّارَهُمْ قَدْ قُتِلَ هَرَبُوا. ٥١ 51
And David ran, and stood upon him, and took his sword, and killed him, and cut off his head: and the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and they fled.
فَأَطْلَقَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا صَيْحَاتِ الْحَرْبِ، وَتَعَقَّبُوا الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ حَتَّى مَشَارِفِ الْوَادِي وَأَبْوَابِ مَدِينَةِ عَقْرُونَ. وَانْتَشَرَتْ جُثَثُ قَتْلَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ عَلَى طُولِ طَرِيقِ شَعَرَايِمَ إِلَى جَتَّ وَإِلَى عَقْرُونَ. ٥٢ 52
And the men of Israel and Juda arose, and shouted and pursued them as far as the entrance to Geth, and as far as the gate of Ascalon: and the slain men of the Philistines fell in the way of the gates, both to Geth, and to Accaron.
وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مِنْ مُطَارَدَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ هَجَمُوا عَلَى مُعَسْكَرِهِمْ وَنَهَبُوهُ. ٥٣ 53
And the men of Israel returned from pursuing after the Philistines, and they destroyed their camp.
وَحَمَلَ دَاوُدُ رَأْسَ جُلْيَاتَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ احْتَفَظَ بِعُدَّةِ حَرْبِهِ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ. ٥٤ 54
And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ عِنْدَمَا رَأَى دَاوُدَ خَارِجاً لِمُحَارَبَةِ جُلْيَاتَ، قَدْ سَأَلَ أَبْنَيْرَ قَائِدَ جَيْشِهِ: «ابْنُ مَنْ هَذَا الْفَتَى يَا أَبْنَيْرُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «وَحَيَاتِكَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ». ٥٥ 55
And when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abener the captain of the host, Whose son is this youth? and Abener said, As your sould lives, O King, I know not.
فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «اسْأَلْ ابْنُ مَنْ هَذَا الْفَتَى؟» ٥٦ 56
And the king said, Do you ask whose son this youth is.
وَحِينَ رَجَعَ دَاوُدُ بَعْدَ قَتْلِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ أَخَذَهُ أَبْنَيْرُ وَأَحْضَرَهُ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ، وَرَأْسُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ مَا بَرِحَ بِيَدِهِ. ٥٧ 57
And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abener took him and brought him before Saul, and the head of the Philistine was in his hand.
فَسَأَلَهُ شَاوُلُ: «ابْنُ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا فَتَى؟» فَأَجَابَهُ دَاوُدُ: «ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ يَسَّى الْبَيْتَلَحْمِيِّ». ٥٨ 58
And Saul said to him, Whose son are you, young man? and David said, The son of your servant Jessae the Bethleemite.
