< 1 Samuel 2 >

1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart exults in Jehovah. My horn is exalted in Jehovah. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies because I rejoice in thy salvation.
وَصَلَّتْ حَنَّةُ قَائِلَةً: «ابْتَهَجَ قَلْبِي بِالرَّبِّ وَسَمَتْ عِزَّتِي بِهِ. أَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِي لأَنِّي فَرِحْتُ بِخَلاصِكَ.١
2 There is none holy as Jehovah, for there is none besides thee, neither is there any rock like our God.
إِذْ لَيْسَ قُدُّوسٌ نَظِيرَ الرَّبِّ، وَلا يُوْجَدُ مَنْ يُمَاثِلُكَ، وَلَيْسَ صَخْرَةٌ كَإِلَهِنَا.٢
3 Talk no more so very proudly. Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
كُفُّوا عِنِ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ، وَكُمُّوا أَفْوَاهَكُمْ عَنِ الْغُرُورِ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهٌ عَلِيمٌ وَبِهِ تُوْزَنُ الأَعْمَالُ.٣
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength.
لَقَدْ تَحَطَّمَتْ أَقْوَاسُ الْجَبَابِرَةِ وَتَنَطَّقَ الضُّعَفَاءُ بِالْقُوَّةِ.٤
5 Those who were full have hired out themselves for bread, and those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. Yea, the barren has borne seven, and she who has many sons languishes.
الَّذِينَ كَانُوا شَبَاعَى آجَرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِقَاءَ الطَّعَامِ، وَالَّذِينَ كَانُوا جِيَاعاً مَلأَهُمُ الشِّبَعُ. أَنْجَبَتِ الْعَاقِرُ سَبْعَةً، أَمَّا كَثِيرَةُ الأَبْنَاءِ فَقَدْ ذَبُلَتْ.٥
6 Jehovah kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
الرَّبُّ يُمِيتُ وَيُحْيِي، يَطْرَحُ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ وَيُصْعِدُ مِنْهَا. (Sheol h7585)٦
7 Jehovah makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
الرَّبُّ يُفْقِرُ وَيُغْنِي، يُذِلُّ وَيُعِزُّ.٧
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust, he lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with rulers, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and he has set the world upon them.
يُنْهِضُ الْمِسْكِينَ مِنَ التُّرَابِ، وَيَرْفَعُ الْبَائِسَ مِنْ كَوْمَةِ الرَّمَادِ، لِيُجْلِسَهُ مَعَ النُّبَلاءِ، وَيُمَلِّكَهُ عَرْشَ الْمَجْدِ، لأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ أَسَاسَاتِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَرْسَى عَلَيْهَا الْمَسْكُونَةَ.٨
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness, for by strength no man shall prevail.
هُوَ يَحْفَظُ أَقْدَامَ أَتْقِيَائِهِ، أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَيَنْطَوُونَ فِي الظَّلامِ، لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِالْقُوَّةِ يَتَغَلَّبُ الإِنْسَانُ.٩
10 Those who strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in heaven. Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth, and he will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
مُخَاصِمُو الرَّبِّ يَتَحَطَّمُونَ، وَمِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَقْذِفُ رُعُودَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ؛ يَدِينُ الرَّبُّ أَقَاصِيَ الأَرْضِ، وَيَمْنَحُ عِزَّةً لِمَنْ يَخْتَارُهُ مَلِكاً وَيُمَجِّدُ مَسِيحَهُ».١٠
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the child ministered to Jehovah before Eli the priest.
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ أَلْقَانَةُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فِي الرَّامَةِ، وَظَلَّ الصَّبِيُّ يَخْدُمُ الرَّبَّ لَدَى عَالِي الْكَاهِنِ.١١
12 Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not Jehovah.
أَمَّا ابْنَا عَالِي فَكَانَا مُتَوَرِّطَيْنِ فِي الشَّرِّ لَا يَعْرِفَانِ الرَّبَّ١٢
13 And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand,
وَلا حَقَّ الْكَهَنَةِ الْمَتَوَجِّبَ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ. فَكَانَ كُلَّمَا قَدَّمَ رَجُلٌ ذَبِيحَةً يَأْتِي غُلامُ الْكَاهِنِ عِنْدَ طَبْخِ اللَّحْمِ حَامِلاً بِيَدِهِ خُطَّافاً ذَا ثلاثِ شُعَبٍ.١٣
14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot. All that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took with it. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
فَيَغْرِزُهُ فِي اللَّحْمِ الَّذِي في الْمَرْحَضَةِ أَوِ الْمِرْجَلِ أَوِ الْمِقْلَى أَوِ الْقِدْرِ، وَيَأْخُذُ الْكَاهِنُ كُلَّ مَا يَعْلَقُ بِشُعَبِ الْخُطَّافِ. هَكَذَا كَانَا يُعَامِلانِ جَمِيعَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ الْقَادِمِينَ إِلَى شِيلُوهَ.١٤
15 And before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, for he will not have boiled flesh from thee, but raw.
كَذَلِكَ كَانَ خَادِمُ الْكَاهِنِ يَأْتِي إِلَى ذَابِحِ الْقُرْبَانِ وَيَقُولُ لَهُ قَبْلَ إِحْرَاقِ الشَّحْمِ: «أَعْطِ لَحْماً لِلْكَاهِنِ حَتَّى يُشْوَى، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَقْبَلُ مِنْكَ لَحْماً مَطْبُوخاً بَلْ نِيئاً».١٥
16 And if the man said to him, They will surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as thy soul desires, then he would say, No, but thou shall give it to me now, and if not, I will take it by force.
فَيُجِيبُهُ الرَّجُلُ: «لِيُحْرِقُوا أَوَّلاً شَحْمَ الذَّبِيحَةِ، ثُمَّ خُذْ مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ نَفْسُكَ». فَيَقُولُ الْخَادِمُ: «لا، بَلْ أَعْطِنِي الآنَ اللَّحْمَ وَإلَّا آخُذُهُ بِالرَّغْمِ عَنْكَ».١٦
17 And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah, for the men despised the offering of Jehovah.
فَعَظُمَتْ خَطِيئَةُ أَبْنَاءِ عَالِي أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ اسْتَهَانَ بِذَبِيحَةِ الرَّبِّ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ تَصَرُّفَاتِهِمَا.١٧
18 But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
وَكَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ آنَئِذٍ يَخْدُمُ فِي مَحْضَرِ الرَّبِّ وَهُوَ مَا بَرِحَ صَبِيًّا، يَرْتَدِي أَفُوداً مِنْ كَتَّانٍ.١٨
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
وَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُ تَصْنَعُ لَهُ جُبَّةً صَغِيرَةً، تُحْضِرُهَا مَعَهَا كُلَّ سَنَةٍ عِنْدَ مَجِيءِ رَجُلِهَا لِتَقْرِيبِ الذَّبِيحَةِ السَّنَوِيَّةِ،١٩
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah give thee seed by this woman for the petition which was asked of Jehovah. And they went to their own home.
فَيُبَارِكُ عَالِي أَلْقَانَةَ وَزَوْجَتَهُ قَائِلاً: «لِيَرْزُقْكَ الرَّبُّ ذُرِّيَّةً مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ عِوَضاً عَنِ الصَّبِيِّ الَّذِي وَهَبْتُمَاهُ لِلرَّبِّ». ثُمَّ يَرْجِعَانِ إِلَى حَيْثُ يُقِيمَانِ.٢٠
21 And Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before Jehovah.
وَعِنْدَمَا افْتَقَدَ الرَّبُّ حَنَّةَ، حَمَلَتْ وَأَنْجَبَتْ ثَلاثَةَ أَبْنَاءٍ وَبِنْتَيْنِ. أَمَّا صَمُوئِيلُ فَقَدْ تَرَعْرَعَ فِي خِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ.٢١
22 Now Eli was very old. And he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the tent of meeting.
وَطَعَنَ عَالِي فِي السِّنِّ. وَبَلَغَهُ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ بَنوهُ مَنْ مَسَاوِئَ بِحَقِّ جَمِيِع الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، وَأَنَّهُمْ كَانَوا يُضَاجِعَونِ النِّسَاءَ الْمُجْتَمِعَاتِ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.٢٢
23 And he said to them, Why do ye such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.
فَقَال لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تَرْتَكِبُونَ هَذِهِ الْفَوَاحِشَ، فَقَدْ بَلَغَتْنِي أَخْبَارُ مَسَاوِئِكُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ؟٢٣
24 No, my sons, for it is no good report that I hear. Ye make Jehovah's people to transgress.
لا، يا بَنِيَّ، فَالأَخْبَارُ الَّتِي بَلَغَتْنِي مُشِينَةٌ، إِذْ إِنَّكُمْ تَجْعَلُونَ الشَّعْبَ يَتَعَدَّى عَلَى شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ.٢٤
25 If one man sins against another, God shall judge him, but if a man sins against Jehovah, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they did not hearken to the voice of their father, because Jehovah intended to kill them.
فَإِنْ أَخْطَأَ إِنْسَانٌ نَحْوَ إِنْسَانٍ، فَاللهُ يَدِينُهُ، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ أَخْطَأَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَمَنْ يُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ؟» لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُعِيرَوا تَوْبِيخَ أَبِيهِمْ أَيَّ اهْتِمَامٍ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ شَاءَ أَنْ يُمِيتَهُمْ.٢٥
26 And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.
أَمَّا الصَّبِيُّ صَمُوئِيلُ فَاسْتَمَرَّ يَنْمُو فِي الصَّلاحِ وَيَحْظَى بِرِضَى اللهِ وَالنَّاسِ.٢٦
27 And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Did I reveal myself to the house of thy father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?
وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ جَاءَ نَبِيٌّ إِلَى عَالِي بِرِسَالَةٍ مِنَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «أَلَمْ أَتَجَلَّ لِبَيْتِ أَبِيكَ وَهُمْ مَا بَرِحُوا فِي مِصْرَ فِي دِيَارِ فِرْعَوْنَ،٢٧
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? And did I give to the house of thy father all the offerings of the sons of Israel made by fire?
وَانْتَخَبْتُ أَبَاكُمْ هرُونَ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَكُونَ لِي كَاهِناً يُصْعِدُ عَلَى مَذْبَحِي قَرَابِينَ وَيُوْقِدُ بَخُوراً، وَيَرْتَدِي أَمَامِي أَفُوداً، وَوَهَبْتُ لِبَيْتِ أَبِيكَ جَمِيعَ وَقائِدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.٢٨
29 Why do ye kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honor thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chief of all the offerings of Israel my people?
فَلِمَاذَا تَحْتَقِرُونَ ذَبِيحَتِي وَتَقْدِمَتِي الَّتِي أَمَرْتُ بِها لِلْمَسْكَنِ، وَتُفَضِّلُ ابْنَيْكَ عَنِّي لِتُكَدِّسُوا الشَّحْمَ عَلَى أَبْدَانِكُمْ، مِمَّا تَخَيَّرْتُمُوهُ مِنْ قَرَابِينِ شَعْبِي؟٢٩
30 Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me forever, but now Jehovah says, Be it far from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَقَدْ وَعَدْتُ أَنْ يَظَلَّ بَيْتُكَ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيكَ يَخْدُمُونَ فِي مَحْضَرِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ. أَمَّا الآنَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: فَحَاشَا لِي أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ، لأَنَّنِي أُكْرِمُ الَّذِينَ يُكْرِمُونَنِي، أَمَّا الَّذِينَ يَحْتَقِرُونَنِي فَيَصْغُرُونَ.٣٠
31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
هَا هِي أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ يَخْطِفُ فِيهَا الْمَوْتُ رِجَالَكُمْ فَلا يَبْقَى شَيْخٌ فِي بَيْتِكَ.٣١
32 And thou shall see an enemy in my habitation, in all that I shall give Israel, and there shall not be an old man in thy house forever.
وَتَشْهَدُ ضِيقاً فِي مَسْكَنِي، بَيْنَمَا يَنْعَمُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ بِالرَّفَاهِيَةِ وَيَخْلُو بَيْتُكَ مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ.٣٢
33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy heart. And all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age.
وَيَكُونُ مَنْ أَسْتَحْيِيهِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ لِخِدْمَةِ مَذْبَحِي سَبَباً فِي إعْشَاءِ عَيْنَيْكَ بِالْدُّمُوعِ وَإِذَابَةِ قَلْبِكَ بِالْحُزْنِ، وَبَقِيَّةُ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ يَمُوتُونَ شُبَّاناً.٣٣
34 And this shall be the sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: In one day they shall die, both of them.
وَتَصْدِيقاً لِقَوْلِي أُعْطِيكَ عَلامَةً تُصِيبُ ابْنَيْكَ حُفْنِي وَفِينْحَاسَ: إِنَّهُمَا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ يَمُوتَانِ كِلاهُمَا.٣٤
35 And I will raise up for me a faithful priest who shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build for him a sure house, and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
فَأَخْتَارُ لِنَفْسِي كَاهِناً مُخْلِصاً يَعْمَلُ بِمُقْتَضَى مَا بِقَلْبِي وَنَفْسِي فَأُقِيمُ لَهُ بَيْتاً أَمِيناً، وَيَصِيرُ كَاهِناً لِلْمَلِكِ الَّذِي أَخْتَارُهُ.٣٥
36 And it shall come to pass, that everyone who is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices that I may eat a morsel of bread.
وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَبْقَى مِنْ ذَرِّيَّتِكَ يَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ سَاجِداً مُتَوَسِّلاً مَنْ أَجْلِ قِطْعَةِ فِضَّةٍ وَرَغِيفِ خُبْزٍ، مُتَضَرِّعاً إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: هَبْنِي عَمَلاً بَيْنَ الْكَهَنَةِ لِآكُلَ كِسْرَةَ خُبْزٍ».٣٦
