وَعِنْدَمَا فَرَغَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ مَعَ شَاوُلَ، تَعَلَّقَتْ نَفْسُ يُونَاثَانَ بِدَاوُدَ وَأَحَبَّهُ كَنَفْسِهِ. ١ 1
It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
وَاسْتَبْقَى شَاوُلُ دَاوُدَ، وَلَمْ يَدَعْهُ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ. ٢ 2
Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
وَتَعَاهَدَ يُونَاثَانُ وَدَاوُدُ، لأَنَّ يُونَاثَانَ أَحَبَّهُ كَنَفْسِهِ. ٣ 3
Then 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
Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.
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
Then Saul set him over the men of war, and David went out, succeeding wherever Saul sent him. And it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
وَعِنْدَ رُجُوعِ الْجَيْشِ بَعْدَ مَقْتَلِ جُلْيَاتَ، خَرَجَتِ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالْغِنَاءِ وَالرَّقْصِ، وَبِدُفُوفِ الْفَرَحِ وَبِمُثَلَّثَاتٍ لاِسْتِقْبَالِ شَاوُلَ الْمَلِكِ. ٦ 6
It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
وَرَاحَتِ النِّسَاءُ الرَّاقِصَاتُ يُنْشِدْنَ: «قَتَلَ شَاوُلُ أُلُوفَهُ وَقَتَلَ دَاوُدُ رِبْوَاتِهِ (أَيْ عَشَرَاتِ الأُلُوفِ)». ٧ 7
The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, 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
Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?"
وَشَرَعَ شَاوُلُ مُنْذُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فَصَاعِداً يُرَاقِبُ دَاوُدَ بِعَيْنٍ مُمْتَلِئَةٍ بِالْغَيْرَةِ. ٩ 9
Saul viewed David with suspicion from that day and forward.
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
It happened on the next day, that a harmful spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
فَأَشْرَعَ شَاوُلُ الرُّمْحَ وَقَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «سَأُسَمِّرُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى الْحَائِطِ». فَرَاغَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ. ١١ 11
and Saul threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
وَصَارَ شَاوُلُ يَخْشَى دَاوُدَ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ، وَقَدْ فَارَقَ شَاوُلَ. ١٢ 12
Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul.
فَأَبْعَدَهُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِ وَعَيَّنَهُ قَائِدَ أَلْفٍ، فَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَتَقَدَّمُ دَائِماً فِي طَلِيعَةِ فِرْقَتِهِ. ١٣ 13
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
وَحَالَفَهُ الْفَلاحُ فِي كُلِّ أَعْمَالِهِ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ. ١٤ 14
David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى شَاوُلُ مَا يَتَمَتَّعُ بِهِ دَاوُدُ مِنْ فِطْنَةٍ تَفَاقَمَ فَزَعُهُ مِنْهُ. ١٥ 15
When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
أَمَّا جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا فَقَدِ ازْدَادُوا حُبّاً لَهُ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ دَائِماً يَقُودُهُمْ فِي حَمْلاتِهِمِ الْعَسْكَرِيَّةِ الْمُوَفَّقَةِ. ١٦ 16
But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
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
Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him."
فَأَجَابَ دَاوُدُ: «مَنْ أَنَا وَمَا هِيَ حَيَاتِي؟ وَمَا هِيَ عَائِلَتِي وَمَا هِيَ مَكَانَةُ عَائِلَتِي فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى أُصْبِحَ صِهْراً لِلْمَلِكِ؟» ١٨ 18
David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"
وَعِنْدَمَا اقْتَرَبَ مَوْعِدُ زِفَافِ مَيْرَبَ لِدَاوُدَ، زَوَّجَهَا شَاوُلُ مِنْ عَدْرِيئِيلَ الْمَحُولِيِّ. ١٩ 19
But it happened at the time when Merob, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
لَكِنَّ مِيكَالَ ابْنَةَ شَاوُلَ الصُّغْرَى أَحَبَّتْ دَاوُدَ، فَعَلِمَ شَاوُلُ بِالأَمْرِ وَحَظِيَ ذَلِكَ بِرِضَاهُ. ٢٠ 20
Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
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 thought, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time."
وَأَمَرَ شَاوُلُ رِجَالَهُ أَنْ يُسِرُّوا فِي أُذُنِ دَاوُدَ أَنَّ الْمَلِكَ يُحِبُّهُ، وَأَنَّهُ مَحَلُّ إِعْجَابِ الْحَاشِيَةِ، وَأَنْ يَنْصَحُوهُ بِمُصَاهَرَةِ الْمَلِكِ، ٢٢ 22
Then Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. So now therefore be 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
Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a little thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and insignificant?"
فَأَخْبَرَ عَبِيدُ شَاوُلَ سَيِّدَهُمْ بِحَدِيثِ دَاوُدَ. ٢٤ 24
The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
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
Saul said, "You shall tell David, 'The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
فَأَبْلَغَ عَبِيدُ شَاوُلَ دَاوُدَ بِمَطْلَبِ الْمَلِكِ، فَرَاقَهُ الأَمْرُ، وَلاسِيَّمَا فِكْرَةُ مُصَاهَرَةِ الْمَلِكِ. وَقَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ الْمُهْلَةُ الْمُعْطَاةُ لَهُ، ٢٦ 26
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
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 killed of the Philistines one hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Mikal his daughter as wife.
وَأَدْرَكَ شَاوُلُ يَقِيناً أَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَ دَاوُدَ، وَأَنَّ ابْنَتَهُ مِيكَالَ تُحِبُّهُ. ٢٨ 28
When Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that all Israel loved him,
فَتَزَايَدَ خَوْفُ شَاوُلَ مِنْ دَاوُدَ، وَأَصْبَحَ عَدُوَّهُ اللَّدُودَ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِهِ. ٢٩ 29
then he was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
وَثَابَرَ أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ عَلَى مُحَارَبَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَظْفَرُ بِهِمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ قُوَّادِ شَاوُلَ، وَأَصْبَحَ اسْمُهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَفَةٍ وَلِسَانٍ. ٣٠ 30
Then the leaders of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
