< 1 صَمُوئيل 19 >

وَحَضَّ شَاوُلُ ابْنَهُ يُونَاثَانَ وَسَائِرَ حَاشِيَتِهِ عَلَى قَتْلِ دَاوُدَ، ١ 1
And Saul gave orders to his son Jonathan and to all his servants to put David to death. But Saul's son Jonathan had great delight in David.
وَلَكِنَّ يُونَاثَانَ بْنَ شَاوُلَ، الَّذِي كَانَ مُعْجَباً جِدّاً بِدَاوُدَ، أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: «أَبِي يَلْتَمِسُ قَتْلَكَ، فَاحْتَرِسْ لِنَفْسِكَ فِي الْغَدِ وَاخْتَبِئْ، ٢ 2
And Jonathan said to David, Saul, my father, is purposing your death: so now, take care in the morning, and keep yourself safe in a secret place:
وَأَنَا أَخْرُجُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى الْحَقْلِ الَّذِي تَخْتَبِئُ فِيهِ، وَأُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْكَ ثُمَّ أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَا يَكُونُ». ٣ 3
And I will go out and take my place by my father's side in the field near where you are; and I will get into talk with my father about you, and when I see how things are, I will give you word.
وَرَاحَ يُونَاثَانُ يُثْنِي عَلَى دَاوُدَ أَمَامَ أَبِيهِ وَتَسَاءَلَ: «لِمَاذَا يُسِيءُ الْمَلِكُ إِلَى عَبْدِهِ دَاوُدَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ إِلَيْكَ، وَمَآثِرُهُ عَظِيمَةٌ جِدّاً؟ ٤ 4
And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:
لَقَدْ عَرَّضَ حَيَاتَهُ لِلْخَطَرِ عِنْدَمَا قَتَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ، فَأَجْرَى الرَّبُّ خَلاصاً عَظِيماً لِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَقَدْ شَهِدْتَ ذَلِكَ وَابْتَهَجْتَ بِهِ. فَلِمَاذَا تَقْتُلُ دَاوُدَ مِنْ غَيْرِ دَاعٍ وَتُسِيءُ إِلَى دَمٍ بَرِيءٍ؟» ٥ 5
For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?
فَاقْتَنَعَ شَاوُلُ بِكَلامِ يُونَاثَانَ، وَقَالَ: «أُقْسِمُ بِاللهِ الْحَيِّ، لَنْ يُقْتَلَ دَاوُدُ». ٦ 6
And Saul gave ear to the voice of Jonathan, and said with an oath, By the living Lord, he is not to be put to death.
فَاسْتَدْعَى يُونَاثَانُ دَاوُدَ وَأَطْلَعَهُ عَلَى مَا دَارَ مِنْ حَدِيثٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى شَاوُلَ، فَمَثُلَ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ كَمَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ مِنْ قَبْلُ. ٧ 7
Then Jonathan sent for David and gave him word of all these things. And Jonathan took David to Saul, who kept him by his side as in the past.
وَعَادَتِ الْحَرْبُ تَنْشَبُ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ، فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَهَزَمَهُمْ هَزِيمَةً مُنْكَرَةً، فَلاذُوا بِالْفِرَارِ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ. ٨ 8
And there was war again: and David went out fighting the Philistines, causing great destruction among them; and they went in flight before him.
وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ كَانَ دَاوُدُ يَعْزِفُ لِشَاوُلَ، فَهَاجَمَ الرُّوحُ الرَّدِيءُ شَاوُلَ مِنْ لَدَى الرَّبِّ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَرُمْحُهُ بِيَدِهِ. ٩ 9
And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.
فَصَوَّبَ الرُّمْحَ نَحْوَ دَاوُدَ وَرَمَاهُ بِهِ لِيَطْعَنَهُ وَيُسَمِّرَهُ إِلَى الْحَائِطِ، فَتَفَادَى دَاوُدُ الضَّرْبَةَ، وَهَرَبَ مِنْ أَمَامِ شَاوُلَ نَاجِياً بِحَيَاتِهِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ، أَمَّا الرُّمْحُ فَغَاصَ فِي الْحَائِطِ. ١٠ 10
And Saul would have sent his spear through him, pinning him to the wall, but he got away and the spear went into the wall: and that night David went in flight and got away.
فَأَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ مُرَاقِبِينَ إِلَى بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ يَتَرَصَّدُونَهُ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ. فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ مِيكَالُ قَائِلَةً: «إِذَا لَمْ تَنْجُ بِنَفْسِكَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ فَإِنَّكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ تُقْتَلُ غَداً». ١١ 11
Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.
وَدَلَّتْهُ مِيكَالُ مِنَ النَّافِذَةِ، فَانْطَلَقَ هَارِباً وَنَجَا. ١٢ 12
So Michal let David down through the window, and he went in flight and got away.
ثُمَّ أَخَذَتْ مِيكَالُ تِمْثَالاً وَوَضَعَتْهُ فِي فِرَاشِهِ، وَوَضَعَتْ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ لُبْدَةً مِنْ شَعْرِ الْمِعْزَى وَغَطَّتْهُ بِثَوْبٍ. ١٣ 13
Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.
وَعِنْدَمَا أَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ جُنُودَهُ لِلْقَبْضِ عَلَى دَاوُدَ قَالَتْ لَهُمْ مِيكَالُ: «إِنَّهُ مَرِيضٌ». ١٤ 14
And when Saul sent men to take David, she said, He is ill.
فَبَعَثَ شَاوُلُ الْجُنُودَ ثَانِيَةً لِيَرَوْا دَاوُدَ قَائِلاً: «ائْتُونِي بِهِ وَهُوَ فِي السَّرِيرِ لأَقْتُلَهُ». ١٥ 15
And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.
فَأَقْبَلَ الْجُنُودُ، وَإذَا فِي الْفِرَاشِ تِمْثَالٌ وَلُبْدَةٌ مِنْ شَعْرِ الْمِعْزَى تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ. ١٦ 16
And when the men came in, there was the image in the bed, with the cushion of goat's hair at its head
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لاِبْنَتِهِ مِيكَالَ: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتِنِي فَأَطْلَقْتِ عَدُوِّي حَتَّى نَجَا؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «لَقَدْ تَوَعَّدَنِي قَائِلاً: أَطْلِقِينِي لِئَلّا أَقْتُلَكِ». ١٧ 17
And Saul said to Michal, why have you been false to me, letting my hater go and get safely away? And in answer Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go, or I will put you to death.
وَعِنْدَمَا هَرَبَ دَاوُدُ وَنَجَا بِحَيَاتِهِ جَاءَ إِلَى صَمُوئِيلَ فِي الرَّامَةِ وَأَطْلَعَهُ عَمَّا فَعَلَهُ بِهِ شَاوُلُ، وَصَحَبَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ وَمَضَيَا وَأَقَامَا مَعاً فِي نَايُوتَ. ١٨ 18
So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.
فَقِيلَ لِشَاوُلَ: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ فِي نَايُوتَ فِي الرَّامَةِ». ١٩ 19
And word was given to Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah.
فَبَعَثَ بِجُنُودٍ لِلْقَبْضِ عَلَيْهِ. وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا شَاهَدُوا جَمَاعَةَ الرَّبِّ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِرِئَاسَةِ صَمُوئِيلَ، حَلَّ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الْجُنُودِ فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً. ٢٠ 20
And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.
فَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ بِالأَمْرِ، فَبَعَثَ بِجُنُودٍ آخَرِينَ فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً. ثُمَّ عَادَ شَاوُلُ فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْقَةً ثَالِثَةً فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً. ٢١ 21
And Saul, having news of this, sent other men, who in the same way became like prophets. And a third time Saul sent men, and they like the others became like prophets.
وَأَخِيراً ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ إِلَى الرَّامَةِ، حَتَّى وَصَلَ إِلَى الْبِئْرِ الْعَظِيمَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ سِيخُو وَسَأَلَ: «أَيْنَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَدَاوُدُ؟» فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُمَا فِي نَايُوتَ فِي الرَّامَةِ». ٢٢ 22
Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great water-spring in Secu; and questioning the people he said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, They are at Naioth in Ramah.
فَمَضَى إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَلَكِنْ فِي أَثْنَاءِ الطَّرِيقِ حَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ، فَشَرَعَ يَتَنَبَّأُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ نَايُوتَ فِي الرَّامَةِ. ٢٣ 23
And he went on from there to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God came on him, and he went on, acting like a prophet, till he came to Naioth in Ramah.
فَخَلَعَ هُوَ أَيْضاً ثِيَابَهُ وَرَاحَ يَتَنَبَّأُ أَمَامَ صَمُوئِيلَ، ثُمَّ انْطَرَحَ عَارِياً طُولَ ذَلِكَ النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ، لِذَلِكَ قِيلَ: «أَشَاوُلُ أَيْضاً بَيْنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ؟». ٢٤ 24
And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?
