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 gathered together their hosts, unto battle, and they were gathered together unto Socoh, which belongeth unto Judah, —and they encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim;
| وَتَجَمَّعَ شَاوُلُ وَرِجَالُهُ وَنَزَلُوا فِي وَادِي الْبُطْمِ وَاصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ لِلِقَاءِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٢ 2 |
and, Saul and the men of Israel, gathered themselves together, and encamped in the vale of Elah, and set the army in array against the Philistines.
| وَوَقَفَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ، وَالإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ عَلَى جَبَلٍ آخَرَ مُقَابِلَهُمْ، يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَادٍ. | ٣ 3 |
And, the Philistines, were standing near the hill on one side, and, the Israelites, were standing near the hill on the other side, —while, 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 came forth a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, Goliath, his name, from Gath, —his height, six 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 |
with a helmet of bronze on his head, and, with a scaly coat of mail, was he clad, —the weight of the coat, being five thousand shekels of bronze;
| وَقَدْ لَفَّ سَاقَيْهِ بِصَفَائِحَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، كَمَا تَدَلَّى رُمْحٌ نُحَاسِيٌّ مِنْ كَتِفَيْهِ. | ٦ 6 |
and, greaves of bronze, on his feet, —and, a javelin of bronze, 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 shaft of his spear, was like a weaver’s beam, and, the flashing head of his spear, was six hundred shekels of iron, —and, his shield-bearer, was coming on 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 took his stand, and cried unto the ranks of Israel, and said unto them, Wherefore should ye come out, to set in array for battle? Am not, I, a Philistine, while, ye, are servants unto Saul? Choose you a man, and let him come down unto me:
| فَإِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مُحَارَبَتِي وَقَتَلَنِي نُصْبِحُ لَكُمْ عَبِيداً، وَإِنْ قَهَرْتُهُ وَقَتَلْتُهُ تُصْبِحُونَ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا عَبِيداً وَتَخْدُمُونَنَا. | ٩ 9 |
If he prevail in fighting with me, and smite me, then will we become your servants, —but, if, I, prevail over him, and smite him, then shall ye become our servants, and serve, us.
| إِنَّنِي أُعَيِّرُ وَأَتَحَدَّى الْيَوْمَ جَيْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ! لِيَخْرُجْ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ رَجُلٌ يُبَارِزُنِي!». | ١٠ 10 |
And the Philistine said—I, reproach the ranks of Israel, this day, —give me a man, that we may fight together.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ شَاوُلُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَحَدِّيَاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ ارْتَعَبُوا وَجَزَعُوا جِدّاً. | ١١ 11 |
When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and feared exceedingly.
| 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 |
Now, David, was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-judah, whose, name, was Jesse, and, who, had eight sons, —and, the man, in the days of Saul was old, advanced in years.
| وَكَانَ بَنُو يَسَّى الثَّلاثَةُ الْكِبَارُ قَدِ الْتَحَقُوا بِجَيْشِ شَاوُلَ وَهُمْ أَلِيآبُ الْبِكْرُ وَأَبِينَادَابُ وَشَمَّةُ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the three eldest sons of Jesse had followed Saul to the battle, —and, the names of his three sons who went into the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and, the next to him, Abinadab, and, the third, Shammah.
| أَمَّا دَاوُدُ فَكَانَ أَصْغَرَ الأَبْنَاءِ جَمِيعاً. وَانْضَمَّ الثَّلاثَةُ الْكِبَارُ إِلَى صُفُوفِ شَاوُلَ. | ١٤ 14 |
But, as for David, he, was the youngest, —and, the three eldest, followed Saul;
| وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَتَرَدَّدُ عَلَى شَاوُلَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ لِيَرْعَى غَنَمَ أَبِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
whereas, David, kept going and returning from Saul, —to tend his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
| وَظَلَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ يَخْرُجُ مُتَحَدِّياً الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ وَمَسَاءٍ، مُدَّةَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً. | ١٦ 16 |
And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, —and presented himself 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 Jesse said unto David his son, Take, I pray thee, unto thy brethren—this ephah of parched corn, and these ten loaves, —and run to the camp unto thy brethren;
| وَقَدِّمْ عَشَرَ قِطَعٍ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ إِلَى قَائِدِ الأَلْفِ، وَاطْمَئِنَّ عَلَى سَلامَةِ إِخْوَتِكَ وَأَحْضِرْ لِي مِنْهُمْ مَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى سَلامَتِهِمْ». | ١٨ 18 |
also these ten slices of soft cheese, shalt thou take to the captain of their thousand, —and, as for thy brethren, give good heed to their welfare, their pledge, also shalt thou receive.
| وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ آنَئِذٍ مَعَ جَيْشِهِ وَمِنْ جُمْلَتِهِمْ إِخْوَةُ دَاوُدَ، مُعَسْكِرِينَ فِي وَادِي الْبُطْمِ، تَأَهُّباً لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Now, Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the vale of Elah, ready to fight 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 |
So then David rose up early in the morning, and entrusted the sheep to a keeper, and took up [the provisions] and went his way, as Jesse had commanded him, —and came into the circular rampart, as, the force, was going forth into the ranks, and shouted for the fight.
| وَمَا لَبِثَتْ أَنْ تَوَاجَهَتْ صُفُوفُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ وَالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٢١ 21 |
So Israel and the Philistines set in array for battle, army against army.
| فَتَرَكَ دَاوُدُ الطَّعَامَ الَّذِي يَحْمِلُهُ فِي رِعَايَةِ حَافِظِ الأَمْتِعَةِ، وَهَرْوَلَ نَحْوَ خَطِّ الْقِتَالِ يَبْحَثُ عَنْ إِخْوَتِهِ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ عَلَى سَلامَتِهِمْ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Then David entrusted the provisions that were upon him to the care of the keeper of the stores, and ran unto the ranks, —and came and asked for the welfare of his brethren.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُحَادِثُهُمْ إِذَا بِجُلْيَاتَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ الْمُبَارِزِ مِنْ جَتَّ، يَخْرُجُ مِنْ صُفُوفِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَيُوَجِّهُ تَحَدِّيَاتِهِ إِلَى الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ. فَأَصْغَى دَاوُدُ إِلَى تَهْدِيدَاتِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Now, as he was speaking with them, lo! the champion coming up, Goliath the Philistine, by name, of Gath, [coming up] out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he spake according to these words, —and David heard [them].
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَ جَيْشُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الرَّجُلَ تَرَاجَعُوا أَمَامَهُ مَذْعُورِينَ جِدّاً. | ٢٤ 24 |
Now, all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from before him, and feared exceedingly.
| 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 ye seen this man that is coming up? For, to reproach Israel, is he coming. So then it shall be, that, the man that shall smite him, the same, will the king enrich with great riches, and, his own daughter, will give him, and, his father’s house, will he make 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 |
Then spake David unto the men that were standing by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that shall smite yonder Philistine, and so shall take away reproach from off Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he hath reproached the ranks of a 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 answered him, according to this word saying, —So, shall it be done to the man that shall smite 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 |
Now Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men, —then was kindled the anger of Eliab against David, and he said—Wherefore is it that thou hast come down? and to whom hast thou entrusted those few sheep in the wilderness? I, know thy pride, and the foolishness of thy heart, for, to see the battle, hast thou come down.
| فَأَجَابَ دَاوُدُ: «أَيَّةُ جِنَايَةٍ ارْتَكَبْتُ الآنَ؟ أَلا يَحِقُّ لِي حَتَّى أَنْ أُوَجِّهَ سُؤَالاً؟» | ٢٩ 29 |
And David said, What have I done, now? Was there not, a cause?
| وَتَحَوَّلَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ نَحْوَ قَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ، أَثَارَ مَعَهُمْ نَفْسَ الْمَوْضُوعِ، فَأَجَابُوهُ بِمِثْلِ الْجَوَابِ السَّابِقِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Then turned he from him unto another, and said—according to this word, —and the people returned him an answer, like the first.
| وَبَلَغَ شَاوُلَ حَدِيثُ دَاوُدَ، فَاسْتَدْعَاهُ. | ٣١ 31 |
And the words which David spake were overheard, —and, when they told them before Saul, he summoned him.
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لا يَذُوبَنَّ قَلْبُ أَحَدٍ خَوْفاً مِنْ هَذَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ، فَإِنَّ عَبْدَكَ يَذْهَبُ لِيُحَارِبَهُ» | ٣٢ 32 |
And David said unto Saul, Let not the heart of my lord fail, because of him, —thy 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 unto David—Thou art not able to go against this Philistine, to fight with him, —for, a youth, art, thou, but, 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 |
Then said David unto Saul, Thy servant used to tend his father’s sheep, —and there would come a lion, or a bear, and carry off a lamb out of the flock;
| فَسَعَيْتُ وَرَاءَهُ وَهَاجَمْتُهُ وَأَنْقَذْتُهَا مِنْ أَنْيَابِهِ. وَعِنْدَمَا انْقَضَّ عَلَيَّ قَبَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَقْنِهِ وَضَرَبْتُهُ فَقَتَلْتُهُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
and I would go out after him, and smite him, and rescue it out of his mouth, —and, if he rose against me, I would catch him by his beard, and smite him, and slay him.
| وَهَكَذَا قَتَلَ عَبْدُكَ الأَسَدَ وَالدُّبَّ كِلَيهِمَا، فَلْيَكُنْ هَذَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ الأَغْلَفُ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا لأَنَّهُ عَيَّرَ جَيْشَ اللهِ الْحَيِّ». | ٣٦ 36 |
Thy servant could slay, either a lion or a bear, —and, this uncircumcised Philistine, shall become, as one of them, for he hath reproached the ranks of a 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 |
And David said, Yahweh, who hath rescued me out of the power of the lion, and out of the power of the bear, he, will rescue us out of the hand of this Philistine. Then said Saul unto David—Go! and, Yahweh, will be with thee.
| وَأَلْبَسَ شَاوُلُ دَاوُدَ سُتْرَةَ حَرْبِهِ، وَوَضَعَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ خُوذَةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَمَنْطَقَهُ بِدِرْعٍ. | ٣٨ 38 |
And Saul clad David with his own military coat, and set a helmet of bronze upon his head, —and clad him with a coat of mail.
| 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 David girded his sword above his military coat, but was reluctant to go, for he had not proved them, —so David said unto Saul—I cannot go in these, for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
| وَتَنَاوَلَ عَصَاهُ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ الْتَقَطَ خَمْسَةَ حِجَارَةٍ مَلْسَاءَ مِنْ جَدْوَلِ الْوَادِي وَجَعَلَهَا فِي جِرَابِهِ، وَحَمَلَ مِقْلاعَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَاتَّجَهَ نَحْوَ جُلْيَاتَ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Then took he his stick in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the torrent-bed, and put them in the shepherd’s-pouch which he had—even in the wallet, and had his sling in his hand, —and so drew near unto the Philistine.
| وَتَقَدَّمَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ نَحْوَ دَاوُدَ، وَحَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ يَمْشِي أَمَامَهُ. | ٤١ 41 |
And the Philistine came on and on, and drew near unto David, —and the man carrying the shield was before him.
| وَمَا إِنْ شَاهَدَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ دَاوُدَ حَتَّى اسْتَخَفَّ بِهِ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ فَتىً أَشْقَرَ وَسِيمَ الطَّلْعَةِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
And, when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him, —for he was a youth, and ruddy, a stripling of fair countenance.
| فَقَالَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَلَعَلِّي كَلْبٌ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ لِمُحَارَبَتِي بِعِصِيٍّ؟» وَشَتَمَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ آلِهَةَ دَاوُدَ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Then said the Philistine unto David, A dog, am, I, that thou art coming unto me, with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David, by his god.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لِدَاوُدَ: «تَعَالَ لأَجْعَلَ لَحْمَكَ طَعَاماً لِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ». | ٤٤ 44 |
And the Philistine said unto David, —Come, unto me, that I may give thy flesh to the birds of heaven, and to the beasts of the field.
| فَأَجَابَهُ دَاوُدُ: «أَنْتَ تُبَارِزُنِي بِسَيْفٍ وَرُمْحٍ وَتُرْسٍ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَآتِيكَ بِاسْمِ رَبِّ الْجُنُودِ إِلَهِ جَيْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي تَحَدَّيْتَهُ. | ٤٥ 45 |
Then said David unto the Philistine—Thou, art coming unto me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin, —but, I, am coming unto thee in the name of Yahweh of hosts, God of the ranks of Israel which thou hast reproached.
| 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, will Yahweh deliver thee into my hand, and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee, and will give thy dead body and the dead bodies of the host of Philistines, this day, unto the birds of heaven, and unto the wild beasts of the earth, —that all the earth may know that Israel hath a God;
| وَتُدْرِكُ الْجُمُوعُ الْمُحْتَشِدَةُ هُنَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِسَيْفٍ وَلا بِرُمْحٍ يُخَلِّصُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّ الْحَرْبَ لِلرَّبِّ وَهُوَ يَنْصُرُنَا عَلَيْكُمْ». | ٤٧ 47 |
and that all this gathered host may know that, not with sword and with spear, doth Yahweh save, —for, unto Yahweh, belongeth the battle, and he will deliver you into our hand.
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَ دَاوُدُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ يَهُبُّ مُتَقَدِّماً نَحْوَهُ، أَسْرَعَ لِلِقَائِهِ. | ٤٨ 48 |
And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the ranks to meet the Philistine.
| 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 thrust his hand into his pouch, and took from thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine, in his forehead, —that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face, to the earth.
| وَهَكَذَا قَضَى دَاوُدُ عَلَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ بِالْمِقْلاعِ وَالْحَجَرِ وَقَتَلَهُ. وَإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِيَدِهِ سَيْفٌ | ٥٠ 50 |
Thus David prevailed over the Philistine, with the sling and with the stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him, —but, sword, was there none 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 |
So David ran, and stood by the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off, therewith, his head, —and, when the Philistines saw that their hero was slain, 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 |
Then arose the men of Israel and Judah, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, as far as the entrance into Gath, and as far as the gates of Ekron, —and the slain of the Philistines fell in the way to the two gates, even as far as Gath and as far as Ekron.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مِنْ مُطَارَدَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ هَجَمُوا عَلَى مُعَسْكَرِهِمْ وَنَهَبُوهُ. | ٥٣ 53 |
And the sons of Israel returned from hotly pursuing the Philistines, —and plundered their camps.
| 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 into Jerusalem, —but, his armour, put he into 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 forth to meet the Philistine, he said unto Abner, prince of the host, Whose son is the young man, Abner? And Abner said, By the life of thy soul, O king! I know not.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «اسْأَلْ ابْنُ مَنْ هَذَا الْفَتَى؟» | ٥٦ 56 |
Then said the king, —Ask, thou, whose son the stripling is?
| وَحِينَ رَجَعَ دَاوُدُ بَعْدَ قَتْلِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ أَخَذَهُ أَبْنَيْرُ وَأَحْضَرَهُ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ، وَرَأْسُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ مَا بَرِحَ بِيَدِهِ. | ٥٧ 57 |
And, when David returned from smiting the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul, —with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
| فَسَأَلَهُ شَاوُلُ: «ابْنُ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا فَتَى؟» فَأَجَابَهُ دَاوُدُ: «ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ يَسَّى الْبَيْتَلَحْمِيِّ». | ٥٨ 58 |
And Saul said unto him, Whose son art, thou, O young man? And David said, Son of thy servant Jesse, the Bethlehemite.
