< 1 Samuel 15 >

1 And Samuel said to Saul, The Lord sent me to put the holy oil on you and to make you king over his people, over Israel: so give ear now to the words of the Lord.
وَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «إِيَّايَ أَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمَسْحِكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَٱلْآنَ فَٱسْمَعْ صَوْتَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ.١
2 The Lord of armies says, I will give punishment to Amalek for what he did to Israel, fighting against him on the way when Israel came out of Egypt.
هَكَذَا يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنِّي قَدِ ٱفْتَقَدْتُ مَا عَمِلَ عَمَالِيقُ بِإِسْرَائِيلَ حِينَ وَقَفَ لَهُ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ صُعُودِهِ مِنْ مِصْرَ.٢
3 Go now and put Amalek to the sword, putting to the curse all they have, without mercy: put to death every man and woman, every child and baby at the breast, every ox and sheep, camel and ass.
فَٱلْآنَ ٱذْهَبْ وَٱضْرِبْ عَمَالِيقَ، وَحَرِّمُوا كُلَّ مَا لَهُ وَلَا تَعْفُ عَنْهُمْ بَلِ ٱقْتُلْ رَجُلًا وَٱمْرَأَةً، طِفْلًا وَرَضِيعًا، بَقَرًا وَغَنَمًا، جَمَلًا وَحِمَارًا».٣
4 And Saul sent for the people and had them numbered in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen and ten thousand men of Judah.
فَٱسْتَحْضَرَ شَاوُلُ ٱلشَّعْبَ وَعَدَّهُ فِي طَلَايِمَ، مِئَتَيْ أَلْفِ رَاجِلٍ، وَعَشْرَةَ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ يَهُوذَا.٤
5 And Saul came to the town of Amalek, and took up his position in the valley secretly.
ثُمَّ جَاءَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ عَمَالِيقَ وَكَمَنَ فِي ٱلْوَادِي.٥
6 And Saul said to the Kenites, Go away, take yourselves out from among the Amalekites, or destruction will overtake you with them: for you were kind to the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt. So the Kenites went away from among the Amalekites.
وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلْقَيْنِيِّينَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا حِيدُوا ٱنْزِلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةِ لِئَّلَا أُهْلِكَكُمْ مَعَهُمْ، وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ فَعَلْتُمْ مَعْرُوفًا مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ صُعُودِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ». فَحَادَ ٱلْقَيْنِيُّ مِنْ وَسَطِ عَمَالِيقَ.٦
7 And Saul made an attack on the Amalekites from Havilah on the road to Shur, which is before Egypt.
وَضَرَبَ شَاوُلُ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ حَوِيلَةَ حَتَّى مَجِيئِكَ إِلَى شُورَ ٱلَّتِي مُقَابِلَ مِصْرَ.٧
8 He took Agag, king of the Amalekites, prisoner, and put all the people to the sword without mercy.
وَأَمْسَكَ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ عَمَالِيقَ حَيًّا، وَحَرَّمَ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ.٨
9 But Saul and the people did not put Agag to death, and they kept the best of the sheep and the oxen and the fat beasts and the lambs, and whatever was good, not desiring to put them to the curse: but everything which was bad and of no use they put to the curse.
وَعَفَا شَاوُلُ وَٱلشَّعْبُ عَنْ أَجَاجَ وَعَنْ خِيَارِ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلثُّنْيَانِ وَٱلْخِرَافِ، وَعَنْ كُلِّ ٱلْجَيِّدِ، وَلَمْ يَرْضَوْا أَنْ يُحَرِّمُوهَا. وَكُلُّ ٱلْأَمْلَاكِ ٱلْمُحْتَقَرَةِ وَٱلْمَهْزُولَةِ حَرَّمُوهَا.٩
10 Then the Lord said to Samuel,
وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى صَمُوئِيلَ قَائِلًا:١٠
11 It is no longer my pleasure for Saul to be king; for he is turned back from going in my ways, and has not done my orders. And Samuel was very sad, crying to the Lord in prayer all night.
«نَدِمْتُ عَلَى أَنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ شَاوُلَ مَلِكًا، لِأَنَّهُ رَجَعَ مِنْ وَرَائِي وَلَمْ يُقِمْ كَلَامِي». فَٱغْتَاظَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَصَرَخَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ.١١
12 And early in the morning he got up and went to Saul; and word was given to Samuel that Saul had come to Carmel and put up a pillar, and had gone from there down to Gilgal.
فَبَكَّرَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِلِقَاءِ شَاوُلَ صَبَاحًا. فَأُخْبِرَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «قَدْ جَاءَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى ٱلْكَرْمَلِ، وَهُوَذَا قَدْ نَصَبَ لِنَفْسِهِ نُصْبًا وَدَارَ وَعَبَرَ وَنَزَلَ إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ».١٢
13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, May the blessing of the Lord be with you: I have done what was ordered by the Lord.
وَلَمَّا جَاءَ صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى شَاوُلَ قَالَ لَهُ شَاوُلُ: «مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ لِلرَّبِّ. قَدْ أَقَمْتُ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ».١٣
14 And Samuel said, What then is this sound of the crying of sheep and the noise of oxen which comes to my ears?
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «وَمَا هُوَ صَوْتُ ٱلْغَنَمِ هَذَا فِي أُذُنَيَّ، وَصَوْتُ ٱلْبَقَرِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا سَامِعٌ؟»١٤
15 And Saul said, They have taken them from the Amalekites: for the people have kept the best of the sheep and of the oxen as an offering to the Lord your God; all the rest we have given up to destruction.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «مِنَ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةِ، قَدْ أَتَوْا بِهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَدْ عَفَا عَنْ خِيَارِ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلذَّبْحِ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْبَاقِي فَقَدْ حَرَّمْنَاهُ».١٥
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, Say no more! Let me give you word of what the Lord has said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «كُفَّ فَأُخْبِرَكَ بِمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «تَكَلَّمْ».١٦
17 And Samuel said, Though you may seem little to yourself, are you not head of the tribes of Israel? for the Lord with the holy oil made you king over Israel,
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «أَلَيْسَ إِذْ كُنْتَ صَغِيرًا فِي عَيْنَيْكَ صِرْتَ رَأْسَ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَسَحَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ،١٧
18 And the Lord sent you on a journey and said, Go and put to the curse those sinners, the Amalekites, fighting against them till every one is dead.
وَأَرْسَلَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي طَرِيقٍ وَقَالَ: ٱذْهَبْ وَحَرِّمِ ٱلْخُطَاةَ عَمَالِيقَ وَحَارِبْهُمْ حَتَّى يَفْنَوْا؟١٨
19 Why then did you not do the orders of the Lord, but by violently taking their goods did evil in the eyes of the Lord?
فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَلْ ثُرْتَ عَلَى ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ وَعَمِلْتَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟».١٩
20 And Saul said, Truly, I have done the orders of the Lord and have gone the way the Lord sent me; I have taken Agag, the king of Amalek, and have given the Amalekites up to destruction.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «إِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَذَهَبْتُ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلَنِي فِيهَا ٱلرَّبُّ وَأَتَيْتُ بِأَجَاجَ مَلِكِ عَمَالِيقَ وَحَرَّمْتُ عَمَالِيقَ.٢٠
21 But the people took some of their goods, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which were put to the curse, to make an offering of them to the Lord your God in Gilgal.
فَأَخَذَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنَ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا، أَوَائِلَ ٱلْحَرَامِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلذَّبْحِ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ».٢١
22 And Samuel said, Has the Lord as much delight in offerings and burned offerings as in the doing of his orders? Truly, to do his pleasure is better than to make offerings, and to give ear to him than the fat of sheep.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «هَلْ مَسَرَّةُ ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَٱلذَّبَائِحِ كَمَا بِٱسْتِمَاعِ صَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ هُوَذَا ٱلِٱسْتِمَاعُ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ ٱلذَّبِيحَةِ، وَٱلْإِصْغَاءُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ شَحْمِ ٱلْكِبَاشِ.٢٢
23 For to go against his orders is like the sin of those who make use of secret arts, and pride is like giving worship to images. Because you have put away from you the word of the Lord, he has put you from your place as king.
لِأَنَّ ٱلتَّمَرُّدَ كَخَطِيَّةِ ٱلْعِرَافَةِ، وَٱلْعِنَادُ كَٱلْوَثَنِ وَٱلتَّرَافِيمِ. لِأَنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ رَفَضَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُلْكِ».٢٣
24 And Saul said to Samuel, Great is my sin: for I have gone against the orders of the Lord and against your words: because, fearing the people, I did what they said.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «أَخْطَأْتُ لِأَنِّي تَعَدَّيْتُ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَكَلَامَكَ، لِأَنِّي خِفْتُ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَسَمِعْتُ لِصَوْتِهِمْ.٢٤
25 So now, let my sin have forgiveness, and go back with me to give worship to the Lord.
وَٱلْآنَ فَٱغْفِرْ خَطِيَّتِي وَٱرْجِعْ مَعِي فَأَسْجُدَ لِلرَّبِّ».٢٥
26 And Samuel said to Saul, I will not go back with you: for you have put away from you the word of the Lord, and the Lord has put you from your place as king over Israel.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لَا أَرْجِعُ مَعَكَ لِأَنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَرَفَضَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ».٢٦
27 And when Samuel was turning round to go away, Saul took the skirt of his robe in his hand, and the cloth came away.
وَدَارَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِيَمْضِيَ، فَأَمْسَكَ بِذَيْلِ جُبَّتِهِ فَٱنْمَزَقَ.٢٧
28 And Samuel said to him, The Lord has taken away the kingdom of Israel from you this day by force, and has given it to a neighbour of yours who is better than you.
فَقَالَ لَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ: «يُمَزِّقُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَمْلَكَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَيُعْطِيهَا لِصَاحِبِكَ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ.٢٨
29 And further, the Glory of Israel will not say what is false, and his purpose may not be changed: for he is not a man, whose purpose may be changed.
وَأَيْضًا نَصِيحُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَكْذِبُ وَلَا يَنْدَمُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانًا لِيَنْدَمَ».٢٩
30 Then he said, Great is my sin: but still, give me honour now before the heads of my people and before Israel, and come back with me so that I may give worship to the Lord your God.
فَقَالَ: «قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ. وَٱلْآنَ فَأَكْرِمْنِي أَمَامَ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِي وَأَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱرْجِعْ مَعِي فَأَسْجُدَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ».٣٠
31 So Samuel went back after Saul, and Saul gave worship to the Lord.
فَرَجَعَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ، وَسَجَدَ شَاوُلُ لِلرَّبِّ.٣١
32 Then Samuel said, Make Agag, the king of the Amalekites, come here to me. And Agag came to him shaking with fear. And Agag said, Truly the pain of death is past.
وَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «قَدِّمُوا إِلَيَّ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ عَمَالِيقَ». فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَجَاجُ فَرِحًا. وَقَالَ أَجَاجُ: «حَقًّا قَدْ زَالَتْ مَرَارَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ».٣٢
33 And Samuel said, As your sword has made women without children, so now your mother will be without children among women. And Agag was cut up by Samuel, bone from bone, before the Lord in Gilgal.
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «كَمَا أَثْكَلَ سَيْفُكَ ٱلنِّسَاءَ، كَذَلِكَ تُثْكَلُ أُمُّكَ بَيْنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ». فَقَطَعَ صَمُوئِيلُ أَجَاجَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ.٣٣
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah, in the land of Saul.
وَذَهَبَ صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى ٱلرَّامَةِ، وَأَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَصَعِدَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فِي جِبْعَةِ شَاوُلَ.٣٤
35 And Samuel never saw Saul again till the day of his death; but Samuel was sorrowing for Saul: and it was no longer the Lord's pleasure for Saul to be king over Israel.
وَلَمْ يَعُدْ صَمُوئِيلُ لِرُؤْيَةِ شَاوُلَ إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهِ، لِأَنَّ صَمُوئِيلَ نَاحَ عَلَى شَاوُلَ. وَٱلرَّبُّ نَدِمَ لِأَنَّهُ مَلَّكَ شَاوُلَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.٣٥
