Kings I 15
1 And Samuel said to Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint you king over Israel: and now hear the voice of the Lord.
| وَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «أَنَا الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي الرَّبُّ لأُنَصِّبَكَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَاسْمَعِ الآنَ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ. | ١ |
2 Thus said the Lord of hosts, Now will I take vengeance for what Amalec did to Israel, when he met him in the way as he came up out of Egypt.
| هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ: إِنِّي مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أُعَاقِبَ عَمَالِيقَ جَزَاءَ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ فِي حَقِّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ حِينَ تَصَدَّى لَهُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ٢ |
3 And now go, and you shall strike Amalec and Hierim and all that belongs to him, and you shall not save anything of him alive, but you shall utterly destroy him: and you shall devote him and all his to [destruction], and you shall spare nothing belonging to him; and you shall kill both man and woman, and infant and suckling, and calf and sheep, and camel and ass.
| فَاذْهَبِ الآنَ وَهَاجِمْ عَمَالِيقَ وَاقْضِ عَلَى كُلِّ مَالَهُ. لَا تَعْفُ عَنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ بَلِ اقْتُلْهُمْ جَمِيعاً رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً، وَأَطْفَالاً وَرُضَّعاً، بَقَراً وَغَنَماً، جِمَالاً وَحَمِيراً». | ٣ |
4 And Saul summoned the people, and he numbered them in Galgala, four hundred thousand regular troops, and Juda thirty thousand regular troops.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى جَيْشَهُ وَأَحْصَاهُ فِي طَلايِمَ، فَبَلَغَ عَدَدُهُ مِئَتَيْ أَلْفِ رَاجِلٍ، فَضْلاً عَنْ عَشَرَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا. | ٤ |
5 And Saul came to the cities of Amalec, and laid wait in the valley.
| وَتَوَجَّهَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ عَمَالِيقَ وَكَمَنَ فِي الْوَادِي. | ٥ |
6 And Saul said to the Kinite, Go, and depart out of the midst of the Amalekites, lest I put you with them; for you dealt mercifully with the children of Israel when they went up out of Egypt. So the Kinite departed from the midst of Amalec.
| وَبَعَثَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى الْقَيْنِيِّينَ قَائِلاً: «انْسَحِبُوا مِنْ بَيْنِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ لِئَلّا أُهْلِكَكُمْ مَعَهُمْ، فَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ». فَانْسَحَبَ الْقَيْنِيُّونَ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ. | ٦ |
7 And Saul struck Amalec from Evilat to Sur fronting Egypt.
| وَهَجَمَ شَاوُلُ عَلَى الْعَمَالِقَةِ عَلَى طُولِ الطَّرِيقِ مِنْ حَوِيلَةَ حَتَّى مَشَارِفِ شُورٍ مُقَابِلَ مِصْرَ. | ٧ |
8 And he took Agag the king of Amalec alive, and he killed all the people and Hierim with the edge of the sword.
| وَأَسَرَ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ عَمَالِيقَ حَيًّا، وَقَضَى عَلَى جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ. | ٨ |
9 And Saul and all the people saved Agag alive, and the best of the flocks, and of the herds, and of the fruits, of the vineyards, and of all the good things; and they would not destroy them: but every worthless and refuse thing they destroyed.
| وَعَفَا شَاوُلُ عَنْ أَجَاجَ وَعَنْ خِيَارِ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ وَالْعُجُولِ وَالْخِرَافِ، وَعَنْ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ جَيِّدٌ، وَأَبَوْا أَنْ يَقْضُوا عَلَيْهَا، وَلَمْ يُدَمِّرُوا إِلّا الْأمْلاكَ وَالْغَنَائِمَ الَّتِي لَا قِيمَةَ لَهَا. | ٩ |
10 And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying,
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: | ١٠ |
11 I have repented that I have made Saul to be king: for he has turned back from following me, and has not kept my word. And Samuel was grieved, and cried to the Lord all night.
| «لَقَدْ نَدِمْتُ لأَنِّي جَعَلْتُ شَاوُلَ مَلِكاً، فَقَدِ ارْتَدَّ عَنِ اتِّبَاعِي وَلَمْ يُطِعْ أَمْرِي». فَحَزِنَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَصَلَّى إِلَى الرَّبِّ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ. | ١١ |
12 And Samuel rose early and went to meet Israel in the morning, and it was told Saul, saying, Samuel has come to Carmel, and he has raised up help for himself: and he turned his chariot, and came down to Galgala to Saul; and, behold, he was offering up a whole burnt offering to the Lord, the chief of the spoils which he brought out of Amalec.
| وَفِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي بَاكِراً مَضَى صَمُوئِيلُ لِلِقَاءِ شَاوُلَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «لَقَدْ جَاءَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى الْكَرْمَلِ حَيْثُ أَقَامَ لِنَفْسِهِ نَصَباً تَذْكَارِيًّا، ثُمَّ الْتَفَّ وَانْحَدَرَ نَحْوَ الْجِلْجَالِ». | ١٢ |
13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed [are] you of the Lord: I have performed all that the Lord said.
| وَعِنْدَمَا الْتَقَى صَمُوئِيلُ بِشَاوُلَ، قَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لِيُبَارِكْكَ الرَّبُّ. لَقَدْ نَفَّذْتُ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ» | ١٣ |
14 And Samuel said, What then [is] the bleating of this flock in my ears, and the sound of the oxen which I hear?
| فَسَأَلَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «وَمَاذَا تَقُولُ عَنْ ثُغَاءِ الْغَنَمِ وَصَوْتِ الثِّيرَانِ الَّتِي تَضِجُّ فِي مَسَامِعِي؟» | ١٤ |
15 And Saul said, I have brought them out of Amalec, that which the people preserved, even the best of the sheep, and of the cattle, that it might be sacrificed to the Lord your God, and the rest have I utterly destroyed.
| فَأَجَابَ شَاوُلُ: «إِنَّهَا مِنْ غَنَائِمِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ، لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ عَفَا عَنْ خِيَارِ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ لِيُقَدِّمَهَا ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَأَمَّا مَا تَبَقَّى فَقَدْ دَمَّرْنَاهُ». | ١٥ |
16 And Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell you what the Lord has said to me this night: and he said to him, Say on.
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «اصْمُتْ لأُنْبِئَكَ بِمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ». فَأَجَابَهُ: «تَكَلَّمْ». | ١٦ |
17 And Samuel said to Saul, Are you not little in his eyes, [though] a leader of one of the tribes of Israel? and [yet] the Lord anointed you to be king over Israel.
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «أَلَمْ تَكُنْ تَحْسَبُ نَفْسَكَ حَقِيراً، وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ جَعَلَكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَقَامَكَ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ، | ١٧ |
18 And the Lord sent you on a journey, and said to you, Go, and utterly destroy: you shall kill the sinners against me, [even] the Amalekites; and you shall war against them until you have consumed them.
| وَكَلَّفَكَ بِمُحَارَبَةِ عَمَالِيقَ وَالْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءً مُبْرَماً؟ | ١٨ |
19 And why did not you listen to the voice of the Lord, but did haste to fasten upon the spoils, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord?
| فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تُطِعْ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، بَلْ تَهَافَتَّ عَلَى الْغَنِيمَةِ وَارْتَكَبْتَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ؟» | ١٩ |
20 And Saul said to Samuel, Because I listened to the voice of the people: yet I went the way by which the Lord sent me, and I brought Agag the king of Amalec, and I destroyed Amalec.
| فَأَجَابَ شَاوُلُ: «قَدْ أَطَعْتُ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ وَنَفَّذْتُ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ بِهِ، وَأَسَرْتُ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ عَمَالِيقَ وَقَضَيْتُ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 But the people took of the spoils the best flocks and herds [out] of that which was destroyed, to sacrifice before the Lord our God in Galgal.
| فَاخْتَارَ الْقَوْمُ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ أَفْضَلَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ لِتَقْرِيبِهَا ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ». | ٢١ |
22 And Samuel said, Does the Lord take pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in hearing the words of the Lord? behold, obedience [is] better than a good sacrifice, and hearkening than the fat of rams.
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «هَلْ يُسَرُّ الرَّبُّ بِالذَّبَائِحِ وَالْمُحْرَقَاتِ كَسُرُورِهِ بِالاسْتِمَاعِ إِلَى صَوْتِهِ؟ إِنَّ الاسْتِمَاعَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الذَّبِيحَةِ، وَالإِصْغَاءَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ شَحْمِ الْكِبَاشِ. | ٢٢ |
23 For sin is [as] divination; idols bring on pain and grief. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord also shall reject you from being king over Israel.
| فَالتَّمَرُّدُ مُمَاثِلٌ لِخَطِيئَةِ الْعِرَافَةِ، وَالْعِنَادُ شَبِيهٌ بِشَرِّ عِبَادَةِ الْوَثَنِ وَالإِثْمِ. ولأَنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ فَقَدْ رَفَضَكَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ». | ٢٣ |
24 And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, in that I have transgressed the word of the Lord and your direction; for I feared the people, and I listened to their voice.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ لأَنِّي عَصَيْتُ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ وَوَصِيَّتَكَ، إِذْ خَشِيتُ الشَّعْبَ فَسَمِعْتُ لِقَوْلِهِمْ. | ٢٤ |
25 And now remove, I pray you, my sin, and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord your God.
| فَاصْفَحِ الآنَ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِي وَارْجِعْ مَعِي لأَسْجُدَ لِلرَّبِّ» | ٢٥ |
26 And Samuel said to Saul, I will not turn back with you, for you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord will reject you from being king over Israel.
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «لَنْ أَرْجِعَ مَعَكَ؛ لأَنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ رَفَضَكَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٢٦ |
27 And Samuel turned his face to depart, and Saul caught hold of the skirt of his garment, and tore it.
| وَاسْتَدَارَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِيَمْضِيَ، فَتَشَبَّثَ شَاوُلُ بِهُدْبِ جِبَّتِهِ، فَتَمَزَّقَ هُدْبُ الْجِبَّةِ. | ٢٧ |
28 And Samuel said to him, The Lord has tore your kingdom from Israel out of your hand this day, and will give it to your neighbour who is better than you.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ: «يُمَزِّقُ الرَّبُّ مَمْلَكَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْكَ وَيَهَبُهَا لِمَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ. | ٢٨ |
29 And Israel shall be divided to two: and [God] will not turn nor repent, for he is not as a man to repent.
| فَإِنَّ قُوَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ (أَيِ اللهِ) لَا يَكْذِبُ وَلا يَنْدَمُ. لَيْسَ هُوَ إِنْسَاناً حَتَّى يُغَيِّرَ رَأْيَهُ». | ٢٩ |
30 And Saul said, I have sinned; yet honour me, I pray you, before the elders of Israel, and before my people; and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord your God.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ، وَلَكِنْ أَكْرِمْنِي أَمَامَ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِي وَأَمَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، وَعُدْ مَعِي لأَسْجُدَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ». | ٣٠ |
31 So Samuel turned back after Saul, and he worshipped the Lord.
| فَانْطَلَقَ صَمُوئِيلُ مَعَ شَاوُلَ حَيْثُ سَجَدَ شَاوُلُ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٣١ |
32 And Samuel said, Bring me Agag the king of Amalec: and Agag came to him trembling; and Agag said Is death thus bitter?
| ثُمَّ قَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «قَدِّمُوا إِلَيَّ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ الْعَمَالِقَةِ». فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ أَجَاجُ فَرِحاً قَائِلاً لِنَفْسِهِ: «حَقّاً قَدْ تَلاشَتْ مَرَارَةُ الْمَوْتِ». | ٣٢ |
33 And Samuel said to Agag, As your sword has bereaved women of their children, so shall your mother be made childless amongst women: and Samuel killed Agag before the Lord in Galgal.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ: «كَمَا أَثْكَلَ سَيْفُكَ النِّسَاءَ لِتُثْكَلْ كَذَلِكَ أُمُّكَ بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ». وَقَطَّعَ صَمُوئِيلُ أَجَاجَ إِرْباً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ. | ٣٣ |
34 And Samuel departed to Armathaim, and Saul went up to his house at Gabaa.
| ثُمَّ مَضَى صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى الرَّامَةِ، أَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَتَوجَّهَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فِي جِبْعَةِ شَاوُلَ. | ٣٤ |
35 And Samuel did not see Saul again till the day of his death, for Samuel mourned after Saul, and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
| وَامْتَنَعَ صَمُوئِيلُ عَنْ رُؤْيَةِ شَاوُلَ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّ قَلْبَهُ تَمَزَّقَ أَسىً عَلَيْهِ. أَمَّا الرَّبُّ فَقَدْ أَسِفَ لأَنَّهُ أَقَامَ شَاوُلَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٥ |
