1 صَمُوئيل 6
| وَبَقِيَ تَابُوتُ اللهِ فِي بِلادِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سَبْعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ١ 1 |
The ark was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
| ثُمَّ سَأَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ الْكَهَنَةَ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ: «مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ بِتَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ؟ أَخْبِرُونَا كَيْفَ نُعِيدُهُ إِلَى مَوْطِنِهِ». | ٢ 2 |
The Philistines called for the priests, and for the diviners, and for the magicians, saying, "What shall we do with the ark of YHWH? Tell us how we should send it 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 you are going to send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty. But return to him a reparation, then you shall be healed and he will be reconciled to you. Will not, then, his hand be removed from 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 |
Then they said, "What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him?" They said, "Five golden tumors, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for the same plague was on you and your lords.
| وَاسْبِكُوا نَمَاذِجَ بَوَاسِيرِكُمْ وَنَمَاذِجَ فِيرَانِكُمُ الَّتِي خَرَّبَتِ الأَرْضَ، وَمَجِّدُوا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَعَلَّهُ يُخَفِّفُ مِنْ وَطْأَةِ يَدِهِ عَنْكُمْ وَعَنْ آلِهَتِكُمْ وَعَنْ أَرْضِكُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
Therefore you shall make images of your tumors, and images of the mice that ravage the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps he will 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 |
Why then do you harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had worked wonderfully among them, did they not 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 |
"Now therefore take and prepare yourselves a new cart, and two milk cows, on which there has come no yoke; and tie the cows to the cart, and take their calves from them back 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 take the ark, and lay it on the cart; and put the figures of gold, which you return him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
| 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 watch; if it goes up by the way of its own territory to Beth Shemesh, then he has done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us; it was a chance that happened to us."
| فَنَفَّذَ الرِّجَاُل الأَمْرَ، وَأَخَذُوا بَقَرَتَيْنِ مُرْضِعَتَيْنِ رَبَطُوهُمَا إِلَى الْعَرَبَةِ وِحَبَسُوا عِجْلَيْهِمَا فِي الْحَظِيرَةِ، | ١٠ 10 |
The men did so, and took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home;
| ثُمَّ وَضَعُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الْعَرَبَةِ مَعَ الصُّنْدُوقِ وَفِيرَانِ الذَّهَبِ وَنَمَاذِجِ بَوَاسِيرِهِمْ، | ١١ 11 |
and they put the ark on the cart, and the box with the mice of gold and the images of their tumors.
| 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 |
The cows took the straight way by the way to Beth Shemesh; they went along the highway, mooing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the territory of Beth Shemesh.
| وَكَانَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ يَقُومُونَ بِحَصَادِ الْقَمْحِ فِي الْوَادِي، وَمَا إِنْ رَأَوْا التَّابُوتَ حَتَّى غَمَرَتِ الْبَهْجَةُ قُلُوبَهُمْ | ١٣ 13 |
And those of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, 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 cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stopped there near a large rock. And they split the wood of the cart, and offered up the cows for a burnt offering to YHWH.
| 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 |
The Levites took down the ark of YHWH, and the chest that was with it, in which the articles of gold were, and put them on the large rock. And the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to YHWH.
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ شَاهَدَ أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الْخَمْسَةُ مَا جَرَى رَجَعُوا إِلَى عَقْرُونَ فِي الْيَوْمِ نَفْسِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
When the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same 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 |
These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to YHWH: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron 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, both of fortified cities and of country villages. The large rock on which they set down the ark of YHWH is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Bethshemite.
| 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 |
But the sons of Jeconiah did not rejoice with the people of Beth Shemesh when they saw the ark of YHWH. So he struck seventy men of them, and the people mourned, because YHWH had struck the people with a great slaughter.
| وَقَالَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ: «مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُقَاوِمَ الرَّبَّ الإِلَهَ الْقُدُّوسَ هَذَا؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ نُرْسِلُ التَّابُوتَ مِنْ هُنَا؟» | ٢٠ 20 |
And the men of Beth Shemesh said, "Who is able to stand before this holy thing? And to whom should he go up from us?"
| وَبَعَثُوا بِرُسُلٍ إِلَى أَهْلِ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ أَعَادَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ، فَتَعَالَوْا وَخُذُوهُ». | ٢١ 21 |
They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have brought back the ark of YHWH; come down, and bring it up to yourselves."
