1 صَمُوئيل 31
| وَحَارَبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ، فَقُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ جَمْعٌ غَفِيرٌ وَهَرَبَ الْبَاقُونَ. | ١ 1 |
Now, as, the Philistines, were fighting against Israel, the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain, in Mount Gilboa.
| وَتَعَقَّبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ، فَقَتَلُوا مِنْهُمْ يُونَاثَانَ وَأَبِينَادَابَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ. | ٢ 2 |
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons, —and the Philistines smote Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
| وَاشْتَدَّتِ الْمَعْرَكَةُ حَوْلَ شَاوُلَ، وَأَثْخَنَ رُمَاةُ السِّهَامِ شَاوُلَ بِالْجِرَاحِ. | ٣ 3 |
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers discovered him, —and he was terrified at 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 said Saul to his armour-bearer—Draw thy sword and pierce me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come, and pierce me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer was not willing, for he was sore afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell thereon.
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَ حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ أَنَّ شَاوُلَ قَدْ مَاتَ، وَقَعَ هُوَ أَيْضاً عَلَى سَيْفِهِ وَمَاتَ. | ٥ 5 |
And, when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also, fell upon his sword, and died with him.
| وَهَكَذَا مَاتَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ شَاوُلُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ الثَّلاثَةُ وَحَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِهِ مَعاً. | ٦ 6 |
Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, yea all his men, on that 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 |
And, when the men of Israel who were across the vale, and who were across the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled, and the Philistines entered, and took up their abode therein.
| وَعِنْدَمَا جَاءَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي لِيَسْلُبُوا الْقَتْلَى عَثَرُوا عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَعَلَى أَبْنَائِهِ الثَّلاثَةِ صَرْعَى فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ، | ٨ 8 |
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul, and his three sons, lying prostrate in Mount Gilboa.
| فَقَطَعُوا رَأْسَ شَاوُلَ وَنَزَعُوا سِلاحَهُ، وَبَعَثُوا يُبَشِّرُونَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ بِلادِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَفِي مَعَابِدِهِمْ وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِهِمْ. | ٩ 9 |
So they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, —and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and unto the people.
| وَوَضَعُوا سِلاحَهُ فِي مَعْبَدِ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَسَمَّرُوا جَسَدَهُ عَلَى سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And they put his armour in a house of Ashtoreths, —and, his dead body, fastened they on the wall of Beth-shan.
| وَحِينَ بَلَغَ أَهْلَ يَابِيشَ جِلْعَادَ مَا فَعَلَهُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بِجُثَّةِ شَاوُلَ، | ١١ 11 |
And, when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him, what the Philistines had done unto Saul,
| هَبَّ كُلُّ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الصَّنَادِيدِ وَسَارُوا اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ، وَأَنْزَلُوا جُثَّةَ شَاوُلَ وَجُثَثَ أَبْنَائِهِ عَنْ سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ، وَنَقَلُوهَا إِلَى يَابِيشَ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا هُنَاكَ. | ١٢ 12 |
then arose all the men of valour, and journeyed all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-shan, —and came to Jabesh, and burned them there;
| ثُمَّ جَمَعُوا عِظَامَهُمْ وَدَفَنُوهَا تَحْتَ الأَثْلَةِ فِي يَابِيشَ، وَصَامُوا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
and took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree in Jabesh, —and fasted seven days.
