1 صَمُوئيل 20
| وَهَرَبَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ نَايُوتَ فِي الرَّامَةِ وَالْتَقَى بِيُونَاثَانَ وَسَأَلَهُ: «مَاذَا جَنَيْتُ، وَمَاذَا اقْتَرَفْتُ مِنْ إِثْمٍ فِي حَقِّ أَبِيكَ حَتَّى يُصِرَّ عَلَى قَتْلِي؟» | ١ 1 |
Then David fled from the dwellings at Ramah, and came before Jonathan and said, "What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?"
| فَأَجَابَهُ: «مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ تَمُوتَ! فَإِنَّ أَبِي لَا يُقْدِمُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ كَبِيرٍ أَمْ صَغِيرٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُطْلِعَنِي عَلَيْهِ، فَلِمَاذَا يُخْفِي عَنِّي أَمْراً كَهَذَا؟ إِنَّ مَخَاوِفَكَ لَا أَسَاسَ لَهَا مِنَ الصِّحَّةِ». | ٢ 2 |
He said to him, "Far from it; you shall not die. Look, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so."
| فَأَقْسَمَ دَاوُدُ قَائِلاً: «إِنَّ أَبَاكَ يُدْرِكُ أَنَّنِي حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ، لِذَلِكَ قَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: لأَكْتُمَنَّ الأَمْرَ عَنْ يُونَاثَانَ لِئَلّا يَطْغَى عَلَيْهِ الْغَمُّ. وَلَكِنِّي أُقْسِمُ لَكَ بِاللهِ الْحَيِّ، كَمَا أُقْسِمُ بِحَيَاتِكَ، إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْمَوْتِ سِوَى خُطْوَةٍ». | ٣ 3 |
And David answered and said, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, 'Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved:' but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."
| فَأَجَابَ يُونَاثَانُ: «مَهْمَا تَطْلُبْهُ نَفْسُكَ أَفْعَلْهُ لَكَ». | ٤ 4 |
Then Jonathan said to David, "Whatever your soul desires, I will do for you."
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِيُونَاثَانَ: «غَداً هُوَ الاحْتِفَالُ بِأَوَّلِ أَيَّامِ الشَّهْرِ، حَيْثُ مِنْ عَادَتِي أَنْ أَجْلِسَ مَعَ الْمَلِكِ حَوْلَ مَائِدَةِ الأَكْلِ وَلَكِنْ دَعْنِي أَذْهَبُ فَأَخْتَبِئَ فِي الْحَقْلِ إِلَى مَسَاءِ الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ. | ٥ 5 |
So David said to Jonathan, "Look, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat. Instead, let me go so that I may hide myself in the field until evening.
| فَإِذَا افْتَقَدَنِي أَبُوكَ، فَقُلْ لَهُ: قَدِ اسْتَأْذَنَ مِنِّي فِي الذَّهَابِ إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ مَدِينَتِهِ لِلْمُشَارَكَةِ فِي الذَّبِيحَةِ السَّنَوِيَّةِ الَّتِي تُقَامُ لِكُلِّ الْعَشِيرَةِ. | ٦ 6 |
If your father missed me at all, then say, 'David urgently requested of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city, for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'
| فَإِنْ قَالَ: حَسَناً، فَمَعْنَى ذَلِكَ أَنَّ خَادِمَكَ فِي أَمَانٍ. وَلَكِنْ إِنِ اشْتَعَلَ غَيْظاً فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ يُضْمِرُ لِيَ الشَّرَّ. | ٧ 7 |
If he says, 'It is well;' your servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, then know that evil is determined by him.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَكُونُ قَدْ صَنَعْتَ خَيْراً مَعَ خَادِمِكَ، وَفَاءً بِمَا قَطَعْتَ لَهُ مِنْ عَهْدٍ أَشْهَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ الرَّبَّ. وَإِنْ كَانَ فِيَّ إِثمٌ فَخَيْرٌ أَنْ تَقْتُلَنِي أَنْتَ مِنْ أَنْ تُسْلِمَنِي لأَبِيكَ». | ٨ 8 |
Therefore deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you: but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?"
| فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ ذَلِكَ، لأَنَّهُ لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ أَبِي يُضْمِرُ لَكَ شَرّاً، أَفَمَا كُنْتُ أُخْبِرُكَ؟» | ٩ 9 |
Jonathan said, "Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn't I tell you that?"
| وَتَسَاءَلَ دَاوُدُ: «مَنْ يُخْبِرُنِي إِنْ رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ أَبُوكَ بِجَوَابٍ فَظٍّ؟» | ١٠ 10 |
Then David said to Jonathan, "Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?"
| فَأَجَابَهُ يُونَاثَانُ: «تَعَالَ نَخْرُجُ إِلَى الْحَقْلِ». فَانْطَلَقَا مَعاً إِلَى الْحَقْلِ. | ١١ 11 |
Jonathan said to David, "Come, and let us go out into the field." They both went out into the field.
| وَهُنَاكَ قَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَاهِداً أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَشَفْتُ عَنْ نِيَّةِ أَبِي مِنْ نَحْوِكَ غداً أَوْ بَعْدَ غَدٍ، فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ، فَوَجَدْتُ أَنَّهُ يَكُنُّ لَكَ الْخَيْرَ وَلَمْ أُرْسِلْ لأُطْلِعَكَ عَلَيْهِ، | ١٢ 12 |
Jonathan said to David, "The LORD, the God of Israel, is witness. When I have studied my father, about this time tomorrow, or the third day, look, if there is good toward David, shall I not then send to you, and disclose it to you?
| فَلْيُعَاقِبِ الرَّبُّ يُونَاثَانَ أَشَدَّ عُقُوبَةٍ وَيَزِدْ. وَإِنْ أَضْمَرَ لَكَ أَبِي سُوءاً فَإِنَّنِي أُخْبِرُكَ وَأُطْلِقُكَ، فَتَنْصَرِفُ بِسَلامٍ، وَلْيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَكَ كَمَا كَانَ مَعَ أَبِي. | ١٣ 13 |
But should it please my father to do you harm, God do so to Jonathan and more also if I do not let you know and send you away, that you may go in safety. And may the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.
| وَلا تَقْصُرُ خَيْرَ الرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حَيَاتِي. | ١٤ 14 |
And if I am still alive, deal loyally with me. But if I die,
| بَلِ احْفَظِ الْعَهْدَ نَفْسَهُ مَعَ عَائِلَتِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ، حَتَّى حِينَ يَقْضِي الرَّبُّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكَ». | ١٥ 15 |
do not cut off your loyalty from my house forever. And when the LORD cuts off the enemies of David, each one from the face of the earth,
| وَهَكَذَا أَبْرَمَ يُونَاثَانُ عَهْداً مَعَ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ قَائِلاً: «وَلْيُعَاقِبْكَ الرَّبُّ بِيَدِ أَعْدَائِكَ إِنْ خُنْتَ الْعَهْدَ». | ١٦ 16 |
if the name of Jonathan be cut off from the house of David, then may the LORD require it at the hand of the enemies of David."
| ثُمَّ عَادَ يُونَاثَانُ يَسْتَحْلِفُ دَاوُدَ بِمَحَبَّتِهِ لَهُ لأَنَّهُ أَحَبَّهُ كَمَحَبَّتِهِ لِنَفْسِهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
And Jonathan swore to David again, because he loved him, for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ يُونَاثَانُ: «غَداً يَكُونُ الاحْتِفَالُ بِأَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ فَيَفْتَقِدُونَكَ لأَنَّ مَوْضِعَكَ يَكُونُ خَالِياً. | ١٨ 18 |
Then Jonathan said, "Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ، عِنْدَ حُلُولِ الْمَسَاءِ، تَأْتِي مُسْرِعاً إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي اخْتَبَأْتَ فِيهِ عِنْدَمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ زِمَامُ الأَمْرِ قَدْ أَفْلَتَ بَعْدُ، وَتَجْلِسُ إِلَى جِوَارِ حَجَرِ الافْتِرَاقِ. | ١٩ 19 |
On the third day you should go down quickly, and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and stay by that mound.
| فَأَرْمِي أَنَا ثَلاثَةَ سِهَامٍ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ وَكَأَنَّنِي أَسْتَهْدِفُ غَرَضاً. | ٢٠ 20 |
And as for me, on the third day I will shoot arrows to its side, aiming it toward a target.
| وَعِنْدَئِذٍ أُرْسِلُ الْغُلامَ قَائِلاً:’اذْهَبْ وَالْتَقِطِ السِّهَامَ‘فَإِنْ قُلْتُ لَهُ:’هَا السِّهَامُ إِلَى جَانِبِكَ فَأَحْضِرْهَا‘تَعَالَ، لأَنَّهُ حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، أَنْتَ فِي أَمَانٍ وَلا خَطَرَ عَلَيْكَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Look, I will send the boy, saying, 'Go, find the arrows.' If I tell the boy, 'Look, the arrow is on this side of you. Take it;' then come; for there is peace to you and no hurt, as the LORD lives.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قُلْتُ لِلْغُلامِ:’هَا السِّهَامُ أَمَامَكَ فَتَقَدَّمْ‘فَامْضِ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَطْلَقَكَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But if I say this to the boy, 'Look, the arrow is beyond you;' then go your way; for the LORD has sent you away.
| أَمَّا مَا جَرَى بَيْنَنَا مِنْ حَدِيثٍ فَلْيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ شَاهِداً عَلَيْهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». | ٢٣ 23 |
Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, look, the LORD is a witness between you and me forever."
| فَاخْتَبَأَ دَاوُدُ فِي الْحَقْلِ. وَفِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ جَلَسَ الْمَلِكُ لِتَنَاوُلِ الطَّعَامِ | ٢٤ 24 |
So David hid himself in the field. And when the new moon had come, the king sat at the table to eat.
| فِي مَقْعَدِهِ الْمُعْتَادِ عِنْدَ الْحَائِطِ، وَجَلَسَ يُونَاثَانُ فِي مُوَاجَهَتِهِ. أَمَّا أَبْنَيْرُ فَقَدِ احْتَلَّ مَقْعَداً إِلَى جِوَارِ شَاوُلَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan sat opposite, and Abner sat by Saul's side: but David's place was empty.
| وَلَمْ يُعَلِّقْ شَاوُلُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَلَى غِيَابِ دَاوُدَ، ظَنّاً مِنْهُ أَنَّ عَارِضاً قَدْ أَلَمَّ بِهِ وَأَنَّهُ غَيْرُ طَاهِرٍ طِبْقاً لِلشَّرِيعَةِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day: for he thought, "Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean."
| وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا خَلا مَوْضِعُ دَاوُدَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، سَأَلَ شَاوُلُ يُونَاثَانَ ابْنَهُ: «لِمَاذَا تَغَيَّبَ ابْنُ يَسَّى عَنِ الطَّعَامِ أَمْسِ وَالْيَوْمَ؟» | ٢٧ 27 |
It happened on the next day after the new moon, the second day, that David's place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why hasn't the son of Jesse come to the table, either yesterday or today?"
| فَأَجَابَ يُونَاثَانُ: «لَقَدِ اسْتَأْذَنَ دَاوُدُ مِنِّي لِلذَّهَابِ إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ، | ٢٨ 28 |
Jonathan answered Saul, and said, "David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem.
| وَقَالَ: دَعْنِي أَذْهَبُ لأَنَّ عَشِيرَتِي تُقَدِّمُ ذَبِيحَةً فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَقَدْ أَوْصَانِي أَخِي بِالْحُضُورِ. فَإِنْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ فَدَعْنِي أَمْضِي لأَرَى إِخْوَتِي، لِذَلِكَ تَغَيَّبَ عَنْ مَائِدَةِ الْمَلِكِ». | ٢٩ 29 |
He said, 'Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. And as for me, my brothers have ordered me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.' Therefore he has not come to the king's table."
| فَاسْتَشَاطَ شَاوُلُ غَضَباً عَلَى يُونَاثَانَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا ابْنَ الْمُتَعَوِّجَةِ الْمُتَمَرِّدَةِ، أَتَظُنُّ أَنَّنِي لَمْ أَعْلَمْ أَنَّ انْحِيَازَكَ لاِبْنِ يَسَّى يُفْضِي إِلَى خِزْيِكَ وَخِزْيِ أُمِّكَ الَّتِي أَنْجَبَتْكَ؟ | ٣٠ 30 |
Then Saul's anger flared up at Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a rebellious slave girl, don't I know that you are the companion of the son of Jesse, to your own disgrace, and to the disgrace of your mother's nakedness?
| فَمَادَامَ ابْنُ يَسَّى حَيًّا فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسْتَقِرُّ أَنْتَ وَلا مَمْلَكَتُكَ. وَالآنَ أَرْسِلْ وَاقْبِضْ عَلَيْهِ، وَأْتِ بِهِ لأَنَّهُ مَحْكُومٌ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَوْتِ». | ٣١ 31 |
For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, your kingdom will not be established. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die."
| فَأَجَابَ يُونَاثَانُ: «لِمَاذَا يُقْتَلُ، وَأَيُّ ذَنْبٍ جَنَاهُ؟» | ٣٢ 32 |
But Jonathan answered Saul, "Why should he be put to death? What has he done?"
| فَصَوَّبَ شَاوُلُ الرُّمْحَ نَحْوَهُ لِيَطْعَنَهُ، فَأَدْرَكَ يُونَاثَانُ عَلَى الْفَوْرِ أَنَّ وَالِدَهُ مُصِرٌّ عَلَى قَتْلِ دَاوُدَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Then Saul raised his spear at him to strike him, and Jonathan realized that this evil from his father to kill David was determined.
| فَغَادَرَ الْمَائِدَةَ وَالْغَضَبُ الْجَامِحُ يَعْصِفُ بِهِ، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَقْرُبَ الطَّعَامَ إِذْ سَاءَهُ تَصَرُّفُ وَالِدِهِ الْمُخْزِي مِنْ نَحْوِ دَاوُدَ. وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي مِنْ أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
So Jonathan sprang up from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had dishonored him.
| وَخَرَجَ فِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ إِلَى الْحَقْلِ كَمَا اتَّفَقَ مَعَ دَاوُدَ، يُرَافِقُهُ غُلامٌ صَغِيرٌ. | ٣٥ 35 |
It happened in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.
| فَقَالَ لِغُلامِهِ: «أَسْرِعْ وَالْتَقِطِ السِّهَامَ الَّتِي أَرْمِي بِها». وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ الْغُلامُ رَاكِضاً رَمَى السَّهْمَ حَتَّى جَاوَزَ الْغُلامَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
He said to the boy, "Run, find now the arrows which I shoot." And as the boy ran, he shot an arrow, causing it to pass beyond, toward the city.
| وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلَ الْغُلامُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ السَّهْمِ الَّذِي رَمَاهُ نَادَى يُونَاثَانُ الْغُلامَ: «أَلَيْسَ السَّهْمُ أَمَامَكَ؟» | ٣٧ 37 |
When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the youth, and said, "Isn't the arrow beyond you?"
| ثُمَّ عَادَ يَهْتِفُ بِهِ: «عَجِّلْ أَسْرِعْ! لَا تَقِفْ». فَالْتَقَطَ الْغُلامُ السَّهْمَ وَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى سَيِّدِهِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
Jonathan cried after the boy, "Go fast. Hurry. Do not delay." Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
| وَلَمْ يَعْلَمِ الْغُلامُ بِمَا يَجْرِي، أَمَّا يُونَاثَانُ وَدَاوُدُ فَهُمَا وَحْدَهُمَا اللَّذَانِ كَانَا مُطَّلِعَيْنِ عَلَى الأَمْرِ. | ٣٩ 39 |
But the boy did not know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
| فَعَهَدَ يُونَاثَانُ بِسِلاحِهِ إِلَى الْغُلامِ قَائِلاً لَهُ: «اذْهَبْ، وَادْخُلْ بِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ». | ٤٠ 40 |
Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, "Go, carry them to the city."
| وَمَا إِنْ تَوَارَى الْغُلامُ عَنِ الأَنْظَارِ حَتَّى بَرَزَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ الْجِهَةِ الْجَنُوبِيَّةِ وَسَقَطَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ سَاجِداً ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَقَبَّلَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ، وَبَكَيَا مَعاً. وَكَانَ بُكَاءُ دَاوُدَ أَشَدَّ مَرَارَةً. | ٤١ 41 |
As soon as the boy was gone, David arose from beside the mound, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another, and wept one with another, and David wept the most.
| وَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «امْضِ بِسَلامٍ لأَنَّنَا كِلَيْنَا حَلَفْنَا عَلَى صَدَاقَتِنَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ قَائِلَيْنِ: لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ شَاهِداً بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ نَسْلِي وَنَسْلِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». ثُمَّ افْتَرَقَا. فَذَهَبَ دَاوُدُ فِي طَرِيقِهِ، أَمَّا يُونَاثَانُ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Then Jonathan said, "Go in peace, because we have both sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, 'The LORD shall be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants, forever.'" He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
