1 صَمُوئيل 31
| وَحَارَبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ، فَقُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ جَمْعٌ غَفِيرٌ وَهَرَبَ الْبَاقُونَ. | ١ 1 |
Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel. And the men of Israel fled before the face of the Philistines, and they fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
| وَتَعَقَّبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ، فَقَتَلُوا مِنْهُمْ يُونَاثَانَ وَأَبِينَادَابَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ. | ٢ 2 |
And the Philistines rushed upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
| وَاشْتَدَّتِ الْمَعْرَكَةُ حَوْلَ شَاوُلَ، وَأَثْخَنَ رُمَاةُ السِّهَامِ شَاوُلَ بِالْجِرَاحِ. | ٣ 3 |
And the entire weight of the battle was turned against Saul. And the men who were archers pursued him. And he was severely wounded by the archers.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِحَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ: «اسْتَلَّ سَيْفَكَ وَاقْتُلْنِي بِهِ، لِئَلّا يَأْتِيَ هَؤُلاءِ الْغُلْفُ وَيَطْعَنُونِي وَيُشَوِّهُونِي». فَأَبَى حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ الانْصِيَاعَ لِطَلَبِ سَيِّدِهِ خَوْفاً، فَأَخَذَ شَاوُلُ السَّيْفَ وَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ. | ٤ 4 |
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and strike me, otherwise these uncircumcised may come and kill me, mocking me.” And his armor bearer was not willing. For he had been struck with an exceedingly great fear. And so, Saul took his own sword, and he fell upon it.
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَ حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ أَنَّ شَاوُلَ قَدْ مَاتَ، وَقَعَ هُوَ أَيْضاً عَلَى سَيْفِهِ وَمَاتَ. | ٥ 5 |
And when his armor bearer had seen this, namely, that Saul had died, he too fell upon his sword, and he died with him.
| وَهَكَذَا مَاتَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ شَاوُلُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ الثَّلاثَةُ وَحَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِهِ مَعاً. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, on the same day together.
| وَحِينَ رَأَى رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُقِيمِينَ عَلَى مُحَاذَاةِ الْوَادِي وَعَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ أَنَّ جَيْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ هَرَبَ، وَأَنَّ شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ قَدْ مَاتُوا، هَجَرُوا الْمُدُنَ وَفَرُّوا. فَأَتَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَسَكَنُوا فِيهَا. | ٧ 7 |
Then, seeing that the men of the Israelites had fled, and that Saul had died with his sons, the men of Israel who were across the valley or beyond the Jordan abandoned their cities, and they fled. And the Philistines went and lived there.
| وَعِنْدَمَا جَاءَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي لِيَسْلُبُوا الْقَتْلَى عَثَرُوا عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَعَلَى أَبْنَائِهِ الثَّلاثَةِ صَرْعَى فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ، | ٨ 8 |
Then, when the next day arrived, the Philistines came, so that they might despoil the slain. And they found Saul and his three sons lying on mount Gilboa.
| فَقَطَعُوا رَأْسَ شَاوُلَ وَنَزَعُوا سِلاحَهُ، وَبَعَثُوا يُبَشِّرُونَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ بِلادِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَفِي مَعَابِدِهِمْ وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِهِمْ. | ٩ 9 |
And they cut off the head of Saul. And they despoiled him of the armor, and they sent it into the land of the Philistines all around, so that it might be announced in the temples of the idols and among their people.
| وَوَضَعُوا سِلاحَهُ فِي مَعْبَدِ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَسَمَّرُوا جَسَدَهُ عَلَى سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And they placed his armor in the temple of Ashtaroth. But his body they suspended on the wall of Bethshan.
| وَحِينَ بَلَغَ أَهْلَ يَابِيشَ جِلْعَادَ مَا فَعَلَهُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بِجُثَّةِ شَاوُلَ، | ١١ 11 |
And when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
| هَبَّ كُلُّ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الصَّنَادِيدِ وَسَارُوا اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ، وَأَنْزَلُوا جُثَّةَ شَاوُلَ وَجُثَثَ أَبْنَائِهِ عَنْ سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ، وَنَقَلُوهَا إِلَى يَابِيشَ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا هُنَاكَ. | ١٢ 12 |
all the most valiant men rose up, and they walked all night, and they took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan. And they went to Jabesh Gilead, and they burned them there.
| ثُمَّ جَمَعُوا عِظَامَهُمْ وَدَفَنُوهَا تَحْتَ الأَثْلَةِ فِي يَابِيشَ، وَصَامُوا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
And they took their bones, and they buried them in the forest of Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.
