1 صَمُوئيل 18
| وَعِنْدَمَا فَرَغَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ مَعَ شَاوُلَ، تَعَلَّقَتْ نَفْسُ يُونَاثَانَ بِدَاوُدَ وَأَحَبَّهُ كَنَفْسِهِ. | ١ 1 |
[And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and David loved him ] [as his own soul. ]
| وَاسْتَبْقَى شَاوُلُ دَاوُدَ، وَلَمْ يَدَعْهُ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ. | ٢ 2 |
[And Saul took him in that day, and did not suffer him to return to his father's house. ]
| وَتَعَاهَدَ يُونَاثَانُ وَدَاوُدُ، لأَنَّ يُونَاثَانَ أَحَبَّهُ كَنَفْسِهِ. | ٣ 3 |
[And Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. ]
| وَخَلَعَ يُونَاثَانُ جُبَّتَهُ وَوَهَبَهَا لِدَاوُدَ مَعَ ثِيَابِهِ وَسَيْفِهِ وَقَوْسِهِ وَحِزَامِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
[And Jonathan stripped himself of his ] [upper garment, and gave it to David, and his mantle and all he had upon him, even to his sword and to his bow, and to his girdle. ]
| وَكَانَ النَّجَاحُ حَلِيفَ دَاوُدَ فِي كُلِّ مُهِمَّةٍ كَلَّفَهُ بِها شَاوُلُ، لِذَلِكَ وَلّاهُ شَاوُلُ إِمْرَةَ رِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ، فَحَظِيَ ذَلِكَ بِاسْتِحْسَانِ الشَّعْبِ وَعَبِيدِ شَاوُلَ أَيْضاً. | ٥ 5 |
[And David went out withersoever Saul sent him, and ] [acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul. ]
| وَعِنْدَ رُجُوعِ الْجَيْشِ بَعْدَ مَقْتَلِ جُلْيَاتَ، خَرَجَتِ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالْغِنَاءِ وَالرَّقْصِ، وَبِدُفُوفِ الْفَرَحِ وَبِمُثَلَّثَاتٍ لاِسْتِقْبَالِ شَاوُلَ الْمَلِكِ. | ٦ 6 |
And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.
| وَرَاحَتِ النِّسَاءُ الرَّاقِصَاتُ يُنْشِدْنَ: «قَتَلَ شَاوُلُ أُلُوفَهُ وَقَتَلَ دَاوُدُ رِبْوَاتِهِ (أَيْ عَشَرَاتِ الأُلُوفِ)». | ٧ 7 |
And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
| فَأَثَارَ هَذَا غَضَبَ شَاوُلَ، وَسَاءَ هَذَا الْغِنَاءُ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَقَالَ: «نَسَبْنَ لِدَاوُدَ قَتْلَ عَشَرَاتِ الأُلُوفِ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَنَسَبْنَ لِي قَتْلَ الأُلُوفِ فَقَطْ! لَمْ يَبْقَ سِوَى أَنْ يُنْعِمْنَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَمْلَكَةِ». | ٨ 8 |
And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands. [And what more can he have but the kingdom? ]
| وَشَرَعَ شَاوُلُ مُنْذُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فَصَاعِداً يُرَاقِبُ دَاوُدَ بِعَيْنٍ مُمْتَلِئَةٍ بِالْغَيْرَةِ. | ٩ 9 |
[And Saul eyed David from that day and onward. ]
| وَحَدَثَ فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي أَنْ هَاجَمَ الرُّوحُ الرَّدِيءُ شَاوُلَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ، فَبَدَأَ يَهْذِي جُنُوناً فِي وَسَطِ الْبَيْتِ، بَيْنَمَا كَانَ دَاوُدُ يَعْزِفُ كَعَادَتِهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ. وَكَانَ فِي يَدِ شَاوُلَ رُمْحٌ، | ١٠ 10 |
[And it came to pass on the morrow that an evil spirit from God fell upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was playing on the harp with his hand, according to his daily custom. And Saul’s spear was in his hand. ]
| فَأَشْرَعَ شَاوُلُ الرُّمْحَ وَقَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «سَأُسَمِّرُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى الْحَائِطِ». فَرَاغَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ. | ١١ 11 |
[And Saul took his spear and said, I will strike David even to the wall. But David escaped twice from his presence. ]
| وَصَارَ شَاوُلُ يَخْشَى دَاوُدَ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ، وَقَدْ فَارَقَ شَاوُلَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And Saul was alarmed on account of David.
| فَأَبْعَدَهُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِ وَعَيَّنَهُ قَائِدَ أَلْفٍ، فَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَتَقَدَّمُ دَائِماً فِي طَلِيعَةِ فِرْقَتِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people.
| وَحَالَفَهُ الْفَلاحُ فِي كُلِّ أَعْمَالِهِ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى شَاوُلُ مَا يَتَمَتَّعُ بِهِ دَاوُدُ مِنْ فِطْنَةٍ تَفَاقَمَ فَزَعُهُ مِنْهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.
| أَمَّا جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا فَقَدِ ازْدَادُوا حُبّاً لَهُ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ دَائِماً يَقُودُهُمْ فِي حَمْلاتِهِمِ الْعَسْكَرِيَّةِ الْمُوَفَّقَةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.
| وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ: «إِنَّنِي أَبْغِي أَنْ أُزَوِّجَكَ مِنِ ابْنَتِي الْكَبِيرَةِ مَيْرَبَ، شَرِيطَةَ أَنْ تَكُونَ بَطَلاً وَتُحَارِبَ حُرُوبَ الرَّبِّ» فَقَدْ حَدَّثَ شَاوُلُ نَفْسَهُ قَائِلاً: «لا أَحْمِلُ أَنَا جَرِيرَةَ قَتْلِهِ بَلْ يَقْتُلُهُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ». | ١٧ 17 |
[And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you to Wife, only be you to me a mighty man and fight the wars of the Lord. And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him. ]
| فَأَجَابَ دَاوُدُ: «مَنْ أَنَا وَمَا هِيَ حَيَاتِي؟ وَمَا هِيَ عَائِلَتِي وَمَا هِيَ مَكَانَةُ عَائِلَتِي فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى أُصْبِحَ صِهْراً لِلْمَلِكِ؟» | ١٨ 18 |
[And David said to Saul, Who am I, and What is the life of my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son—in-law? ]
| وَعِنْدَمَا اقْتَرَبَ مَوْعِدُ زِفَافِ مَيْرَبَ لِدَاوُدَ، زَوَّجَهَا شَاوُلُ مِنْ عَدْرِيئِيلَ الْمَحُولِيِّ. | ١٩ 19 |
[But it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife. ]
| لَكِنَّ مِيكَالَ ابْنَةَ شَاوُلَ الصُّغْرَى أَحَبَّتْ دَاوُدَ، فَعَلِمَ شَاوُلُ بِالأَمْرِ وَحَظِيَ ذَلِكَ بِرِضَاهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.
| وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «أُزَوِّجُهُ مِنْهَا فَتَكُونُ لَهُ فَخّاً، وَكَذَلِكَ يَسْعَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ إِلَى قَتْلِهِ». وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً: «يُمْكِنُكَ مُصَاهَرَتِي الْيَوْمَ». | ٢١ 21 |
And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.
| وَأَمَرَ شَاوُلُ رِجَالَهُ أَنْ يُسِرُّوا فِي أُذُنِ دَاوُدَ أَنَّ الْمَلِكَ يُحِبُّهُ، وَأَنَّهُ مَحَلُّ إِعْجَابِ الْحَاشِيَةِ، وَأَنْ يَنْصَحُوهُ بِمُصَاهَرَةِ الْمَلِكِ، | ٢٢ 22 |
And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak you privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you, and do you becomes the king's son-in-law.
| فَرَاحَ عَبِيدُ شَاوُلَ يُسِرُّونَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فِي مَسَامِعِ دَاوُدَ. فَأَجَابَ دَاوُدُ: «أَتَظُنُّونَ مُصَاهَرَةَ الْمَلِكِ أَمْراً تَافِهاً؟ أَنَا لَسْتُ سِوَى رَجُلٍ مِسْكِينٍ حَقِيرٍ». | ٢٣ 23 |
And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I [am] an humble man, an not honorable?
| فَأَخْبَرَ عَبِيدُ شَاوُلَ سَيِّدَهُمْ بِحَدِيثِ دَاوُدَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا مَا تَقُولُونَهُ لِدَاوُدَ: إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ لَا يَطْمَعُ فِي مَهْرٍ، بَلْ فِي مِئَةِ غُلْفَةٍ مِنْ غُلَفِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، انْتِقَاماً مِنْ أَعْدَاءِ الْمَلِكِ». قَالَ هَذَا ظَنّاً مِنْهُ أَنْ يُوْقِعَ دَاوُدَ فِي أَسْرِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And Saul said, Thus shall you speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
| فَأَبْلَغَ عَبِيدُ شَاوُلَ دَاوُدَ بِمَطْلَبِ الْمَلِكِ، فَرَاقَهُ الأَمْرُ، وَلاسِيَّمَا فِكْرَةُ مُصَاهَرَةِ الْمَلِكِ. وَقَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ الْمُهْلَةُ الْمُعْطَاةُ لَهُ، | ٢٦ 26 |
And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.
| انْطَلَقَ مَعَ رِجَالِهِ وَقَتَلَ مِئَتَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَأَتَى بِغُلَفِهِمْ وَقَدَّمَهَا كَامِلَةً لِتَكُونَ مَهْراً لِمُصَاهَرَةِ الْمَلِكِ. فَزَوَّجَهُ شَاوُلُ عِنْدَئِذٍ مِنِ ابْنَتِهِ مِيكَالَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And David arose, and went, he and his men, and struck among the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.
| وَأَدْرَكَ شَاوُلُ يَقِيناً أَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَ دَاوُدَ، وَأَنَّ ابْنَتَهُ مِيكَالَ تُحِبُّهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And Saul saw that the Lord [was] with David, and [that] all Israel loved him.
| فَتَزَايَدَ خَوْفُ شَاوُلَ مِنْ دَاوُدَ، وَأَصْبَحَ عَدُوَّهُ اللَّدُودَ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِهِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And he was yet more afraid of David.
| وَثَابَرَ أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ عَلَى مُحَارَبَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَظْفَرُ بِهِمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ قُوَّادِ شَاوُلَ، وَأَصْبَحَ اسْمُهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَفَةٍ وَلِسَانٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
[And the chief of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass that from the suficiency of their expedition David acted Wisely above all the servants of Saul; and his name was honored exceedingly. ]
