< 1 صَمُوئيل 7 >

وَجَاءَ أَهْلُ يَعَارِيمَ وَأَخَذُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ حَيْثُ وَضَعُوهُ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى التَّلِّ، وَكَرَّسُوا أَلِعَازَارَ ابْنَهُ لِيَقُومَ عَلَى حِرَاسَةِ التَّابُوتِ. ١ 1
And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and brought up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
وَطَالَتْ مُدَّةُ بَقَاءِ التَّابُوتِ فِي قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ، إِذِ انْقَضَتْ عِشْرُونَ سَنَةً عَلَيْهِ هُنَاكَ. تَابَ فِيهَا كُلُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ نَائِحِينَ. ٢ 2
And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِكُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «إِنْ كُنْتُمْ حَقّاً قَدْ تُبْتُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، فَانْزِعُوا الآلِهَةَ الْغَرِيبَةَ وَأَصْنَامَ الْعَشْتَارُوثِ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ، وَهَيِّئُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ وَاعْبُدُوهُ وَحْدَهُ، فَيُنْقِذَكُمْ مَنْ قَبْضَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». ٣ 3
And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return to the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods, and Ashtaroth, from among you, and prepare your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.
فَتَخَلَّصَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْبَعْلِيمِ وَأَصْنامِ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَعَبَدُوا الرَّبَّ وَحْدَهُ. ٤ 4
Then the children of Israel put away Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «ادْعُوا كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلاجْتِمَاعِ فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ فَأُصَلِّيَ لأَجْلِكُمْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ». ٥ 5
And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you to the LORD.
فَاجْتَمَعُوا فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ حَيْثُ اسْتَقَوْا مَاءً وَسَكَبُوهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَصَامُوا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَائِلِينَ هُنَاكَ: «قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ». وَكَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ يَقْضِي لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ. ٦ 6
And they assembled at Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and there said, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
وَإِذْ سَمِعَ أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ بِتَجَمُّعِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ، احْتَشَدُوا لِمُحَارَبَتِهِمْ. وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ الْخَبَرُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اعْتَرَاهُمُ الْخَوْفُ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، ٧ 7
And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were assembled at Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard [it], they were afraid of the Philistines.
وَقَالُوا لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «لا تَكُفَّ عَنِ التَّضَرُّعِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا مِنْ أَجْلِنَا حَتَّى يُخَلِّصَنَا مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». ٨ 8
And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he will save us from the hand of the Philistines.
فَأَخَذَ صَمُوئِيلُ حَمَلاً رَضِيعاً، وَقَدَّمَهُ بِكَامِلِهِ مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ، وَتَضَرَّعَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِنْقَاذِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ. ٩ 9
And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt-offering wholly to the LORD: and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ يُقَدِّمُ الْمُحْرَقَةَ، أَقْبَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَطْلَقَ الرَّبُّ صَرْخَةً رَاعِدَةً عَظِيمَةً عَلَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَلْقَتْ فِيهِمِ الرُّعْبَ فَانْهَزَمُوا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٠ 10
And as Samuel was offering the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
فَانْدَفَعَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْمِصْفَاةِ، وَتَعَقَّبُوهُمْ إِلَى مَا تَحْتَ بَيْتِ كَارٍ، وَقَضَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ. ١١ 11
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Beth-car.
فَأَخَذَ صَمُوئِيلُ حَجَراً وَنَصَبَهُ بَيْنَ الْمِصْفَاةِ وَالسِّنِّ، وَدَعَاهُ «حَجَرَ الْمَعُونَةِ» وَقَالَ: «إِلَى هُنَا أَعَانَنَا الرَّبُّ» ١٢ 12
Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.
فَانْكَسَرَتْ شَوْكَةُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَلَمْ يَجْرُؤُوا عَلَى التَّعَدِّي عَلَى تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ كَانَتْ ضِدَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ طَوَالَ حَيَاةِ صَمُوئِيلَ. ١٣ 13
So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the borders of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
وَاسْتَرَدَّ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي اقْتَطَعَهَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ عَقْرُونَ إِلَى جَتَّ، وَاسْتَعَادُوا تُخُومَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. كَمَا عَقَدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مُعَاهَدَةَ صُلْحٍ مَعَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ. ١٤ 14
And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and the borders of it did Israel deliver from the hands of the Philistines: and there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
وَظَلَّ صَمُوئِيلُ قَاضِياً لإِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، ١٥ 15
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
فَكَانَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ يَنْتَقِلُ بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَالْجِلْجَالِ وَالْمِصْفَاةِ لِيَعْقِدَ مَجْلِسَ قَضَائِهِ فِيهَا، ١٦ 16
And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ لِلرَّامَةِ حَيْثُ يُقِيمُ، وَهُنَاكَ يَقْضِي لإِسْرَائِيلَ، كَمَا بَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ. ١٧ 17
And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar to the LORD.
