1 صَمُوئيل 6
| وَبَقِيَ تَابُوتُ اللهِ فِي بِلادِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سَبْعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ١ 1 |
And the ark was seven months in the country of the Philistines, and their land brought forth swarms of mice.
| ثُمَّ سَأَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ الْكَهَنَةَ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ: «مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ بِتَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ؟ أَخْبِرُونَا كَيْفَ نُعِيدُهُ إِلَى مَوْطِنِهِ». | ٢ 2 |
And the Philistines call their priests, and their prophets, and their enchanters, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the Lord? teach us wherewith we shall send it away to its place.
| فَأَجَابُوهُمْ: «إِذَا أَعَدْتُمْ تَابُوتَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلا تُعِيِدُوهُ فَارِغاً بَلْ أَرْسِلُوا مَعَهُ قُرْبَانَ إِثْمٍ، حِينَئِذٍ تَبْرَأُونَ وَتُدْرِكُونَ عِلَّةَ مَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ عِقَابٍ». | ٣ 3 |
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the covenant of the Lord God of Israel, do not on any account send it away empty, but by all means render to it an offering for the plague; and then shall ye be healed, and an atonement shall be made for you: should not his hand be [thus] stayed from off you?
| فَسَأَلُوهُمْ: «وَمَا هُوَ قُرْبَانُ الإِثْمِ الَّذِي نُرْسِلُهُ؟» فَأَجَابُوا: «أَرْسِلُوا بِحَسَبِ عَدَدِ أَقْطَابِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ خَمْسَةَ نَمَاذِجَ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ لِلْبَوَاسِيرِ، وَخَمْسَةَ نَمَاذِجَ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ لِلْفِئْرَانِ، لأَنَّ الْكَارِثَةَ الَّتِي ابْتُلِيتُمْ بِها وَاحِدِةٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَلى أَقْطَابِكُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
And they say, What [is] the offering for the plague [which] we shall return to it? and they said,
| وَاسْبِكُوا نَمَاذِجَ بَوَاسِيرِكُمْ وَنَمَاذِجَ فِيرَانِكُمُ الَّتِي خَرَّبَتِ الأَرْضَ، وَمَجِّدُوا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَعَلَّهُ يُخَفِّفُ مِنْ وَطْأَةِ يَدِهِ عَنْكُمْ وَعَنْ آلِهَتِكُمْ وَعَنْ أَرْضِكُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
According to the number of the lords of the Philistines, five golden emerods, for the plague was on you, and on your rulers, and on the people; and golden mice, the likeness of the mice that destroy your land: and ye shall give glory to the Lord, that he may lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
| فَلِمَاذَا تُصَلِّبُونَ قُلُوبَكُمْ كَمَا صَلَّبَ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَفِرْعَوْنُ قُلُوبَهُمْ؟ أَلَمْ يُطْلِقُوهُمْ عَلَى أَثَرِ مَا أَوْقَعَ بِهِمْ مِنْ عِقَابٍ؟ | ٦ 6 |
And why do ye harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? [was it] not [so] when he mocked them, [that] they let the people go, and they departed?
| وَالآنَ اصْنَعُوا عَرَبَةً وَاحِدَةً جَدِيدَةً وَارْبِطُوهَا إِلَى بَقَرَتَيْنِ مُرْضِعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يَعْلُهُمَا نِيرٌ، وَرُدُّوا عِجْلَيْهِمَا عَنْهُمَا إِلَى الْحَظِيرَةِ، | ٧ 7 |
And now take wood and make a new wagon, and take two cows, that have calved for the first time, without their calves; and do ye yoke the cows to the wagon, and lead away the calves from behind them home.
| ثُمَّ ضَعُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الْعَرَبَةِ مَعَ صُنْدُوقٍ فِيهِ أَمْتِعَةُ الذَّهَبِ الَّتِي تَرُدُّونَهَا لَهُ لِتَكُونَ قُرْبَانَ إِثْمٍ، وَأَطْلِقُوا الْعَرَبَةَ بِمَا عَلَيْهَا فَتَذْهَبَ. | ٨ 8 |
And ye shall take the ark and put it on the wagon; and ye shall restore to it the golden articles for the trespass-offering in a coffer by the side of it: and ye shall let it go, and sent it away, and ye shall depart.
| وَرَاقِبُوهَا، فَإِنِ اتَّجَهَتْ فِي طَرِيقِ أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ تَعْلَمُونَ آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ بِنَا هَذَا الشَّرَّ الْعَظِيمَ، وَإِنْ مَضَتْ فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا الاتِّجَاهِ، نُدْرِكْ أَنَّ مَا أَصَابَنَا هُوَ صُدْفَةٌ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِقَاباً مِنْ يَدِهِ». | ٩ 9 |
And ye shall see, if it shall go the way of its coasts along by Baethsamys, he has brought upon us this great affliction; and if not, then shall we know that his hand has not touched us, but this [is a] chance [which] has happened to us.
| فَنَفَّذَ الرِّجَاُل الأَمْرَ، وَأَخَذُوا بَقَرَتَيْنِ مُرْضِعَتَيْنِ رَبَطُوهُمَا إِلَى الْعَرَبَةِ وِحَبَسُوا عِجْلَيْهِمَا فِي الْحَظِيرَةِ، | ١٠ 10 |
And the Philistines did so; and they took two cows that had calved for the first time, and yoked them to the waggon, and shut up their calves at home.
| ثُمَّ وَضَعُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الْعَرَبَةِ مَعَ الصُّنْدُوقِ وَفِيرَانِ الذَّهَبِ وَنَمَاذِجِ بَوَاسِيرِهِمْ، | ١١ 11 |
And they set the ark of the Lord, and the coffer, and the golden mice, on the waggon.
| فَاتَّجَهَتِ الْبَقَرَتَانِ وَهُمَا تَجْأَرَانِ، مُبَاشَرَةً فِي طَرِيقِ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ فِي خَطٍّ مُسْتَقِيمٍ، لَا تَحِيدَانِ يَمِيناً وَلا شِمَالاً. وَسَارَ أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ خَلْفَهُمَا حَتَّى حُدُودِ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And the cows went straight on the way to the way of Baethsamys, they went along one track; and laboured, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left, and the lords of the Philistines went after it as far as the coasts of Baethsamys.
| وَكَانَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ يَقُومُونَ بِحَصَادِ الْقَمْحِ فِي الْوَادِي، وَمَا إِنْ رَأَوْا التَّابُوتَ حَتَّى غَمَرَتِ الْبَهْجَةُ قُلُوبَهُمْ | ١٣ 13 |
And the men of Baethsamys were reaping the wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark of the Lord, and rejoiced to meet it.
| وَتَوَجَّهَتِ الْعَرَبَةُ إِلَى حَقْلِ رَجُلٍ اسْمُهُ يَهُوشَعُ الْبَيْتِشَمْسِيُّ، وَوَقَفَتْ بِجِوَارِ حَجَرٍ كَبِيرٍ. فَشَقَّ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ خَشَبَ الْعَرَبَةِ وَذَبَحُوا الْبَقَرَتَيْنِ وَقَدَّمُوهُمَا مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٤ 14 |
And the waggon entered into the field of Osee, which was in Baethsamys, and they set there by it a great stone; and they split the wood of the waggon, and offered up the cows for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord.
| وَأَنْزَلَ بَعْضُ اللّاوِيِّينَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ وَالصُّنْدُوقَ الَّذِي مَعَهُ، بِمَا فِيهِ مِنْ أَمْتِعَةِ الذَّهَبِ، وَأَقَامُوهُمَا عَلَى الْحَجَرِ الْكَبِيرِ. فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَصْعَدَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَقَرَّبُوا ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٥ 15 |
And the Levites brought up the ark of the Lord, and the coffer with it, and the golden articles upon it, and placed them on the great stone, and the men of Baethsamys offered whole-burnt-offerings and meat offerings on that day to the Lord.
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ شَاهَدَ أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الْخَمْسَةُ مَا جَرَى رَجَعُوا إِلَى عَقْرُونَ فِي الْيَوْمِ نَفْسِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the five lords of the Philistines saw, and returned to Ascalon in that day.
| أَمَّا قَرَابِينُ الإِثْمِ لِلرَّبِّ الَّتِي رَدَّهَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ مِنْ نَمَاذِجِ بَوَاسِيرِ الذَّهَبِ، فَكَانَتْ وَاحِداً عَنْ أَشْدُودَ، وَوَاحِداً عَنْ غَزَّةَ، وَوَاحِداً عَنْ أَشْقَلُونَ، وَوَاحِداً عَنْ جَتَّ، وَوَاحِداً عَنْ عَقْرُونَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And these [are] the golden emerods which the lords of the Philistines gave as a trespass-offering to the Lord; for Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for Accaron one.
| وَكَانَتْ نَمَاذِجُ فِيرَانِ الذَّهَبِ عَلَى عَدَدِ مُدُنِ أَقْطَابِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الْخَمْسَةِ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَتْ مُدُناً مُحَصَّنَةً أَمْ قَرْيَةً فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. وَلا يَزَالُ الْحَجَرُ الْكَبِيرُ الَّذِي وَضَعُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِ بَاقِياً حَتَّى الآنَ فِي حَقْلِ يَهُوشَعَ فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسَ، شَاهِداً عَلَى هَذَا. | ١٨ 18 |
And the golden mice according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines, belonging to the five lords, from the fenced city to the village of the Pherezite, and to the great stone, on which they placed the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that was in the field of Osee the Baethsamysite.
| وَعَاقَبَ الرَّبُّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ فَقَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلاً لأَنَّهُمْ نَظَرُوا إِلَى مَا بِدَاخِلِ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ، فَنَاحَ الشَّعْبُ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَوْقَعَ بِهِمْ كَارِثَةً عَظِيمَةً. | ١٩ 19 |
And the sons of Jechonias were not pleased with the men of Baethsamys, because they saw the ark of the Lord; and [the Lord] smote among them seventy men, and fifty thousand men: and the people mourned, because the Lord had inflicted on the people, a very great plague.
| وَقَالَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ: «مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُقَاوِمَ الرَّبَّ الإِلَهَ الْقُدُّوسَ هَذَا؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ نُرْسِلُ التَّابُوتَ مِنْ هُنَا؟» | ٢٠ 20 |
And the men of Baethsamys said, Who shall be able to pass before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall the ark of the Lord go up from us?
| وَبَعَثُوا بِرُسُلٍ إِلَى أَهْلِ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ أَعَادَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ، فَتَعَالَوْا وَخُذُوهُ». | ٢١ 21 |
And they send messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying, The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, go down and take it home to yourselves.
