1 Samuel 6
1 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
| وَبَقِيَ تَابُوتُ اللهِ فِي بِلادِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سَبْعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ١ |
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
| ثُمَّ سَأَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ الْكَهَنَةَ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ: «مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ بِتَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ؟ أَخْبِرُونَا كَيْفَ نُعِيدُهُ إِلَى مَوْطِنِهِ». | ٢ |
3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
| فَأَجَابُوهُمْ: «إِذَا أَعَدْتُمْ تَابُوتَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلا تُعِيِدُوهُ فَارِغاً بَلْ أَرْسِلُوا مَعَهُ قُرْبَانَ إِثْمٍ، حِينَئِذٍ تَبْرَأُونَ وَتُدْرِكُونَ عِلَّةَ مَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ عِقَابٍ». | ٣ |
4 Then said they, What [shall be] the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, [according to] the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague [was] on you all, and on your lords.
| 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 |
5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
| وَاسْبِكُوا نَمَاذِجَ بَوَاسِيرِكُمْ وَنَمَاذِجَ فِيرَانِكُمُ الَّتِي خَرَّبَتِ الأَرْضَ، وَمَجِّدُوا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَعَلَّهُ يُخَفِّفُ مِنْ وَطْأَةِ يَدِهِ عَنْكُمْ وَعَنْ آلِهَتِكُمْ وَعَنْ أَرْضِكُمْ. | ٥ |
6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
| فَلِمَاذَا تُصَلِّبُونَ قُلُوبَكُمْ كَمَا صَلَّبَ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَفِرْعَوْنُ قُلُوبَهُمْ؟ أَلَمْ يُطْلِقُوهُمْ عَلَى أَثَرِ مَا أَوْقَعَ بِهِمْ مِنْ عِقَابٍ؟ | ٦ |
7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
| وَالآنَ اصْنَعُوا عَرَبَةً وَاحِدَةً جَدِيدَةً وَارْبِطُوهَا إِلَى بَقَرَتَيْنِ مُرْضِعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يَعْلُهُمَا نِيرٌ، وَرُدُّوا عِجْلَيْهِمَا عَنْهُمَا إِلَى الْحَظِيرَةِ، | ٧ |
8 And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him [for] a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
| ثُمَّ ضَعُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الْعَرَبَةِ مَعَ صُنْدُوقٍ فِيهِ أَمْتِعَةُ الذَّهَبِ الَّتِي تَرُدُّونَهَا لَهُ لِتَكُونَ قُرْبَانَ إِثْمٍ، وَأَطْلِقُوا الْعَرَبَةَ بِمَا عَلَيْهَا فَتَذْهَبَ. | ٨ |
9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, [then] he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that [it is] not his hand [that] smote us; it [was] a chance [that] happened to us.
| 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 |
10 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
| فَنَفَّذَ الرِّجَاُل الأَمْرَ، وَأَخَذُوا بَقَرَتَيْنِ مُرْضِعَتَيْنِ رَبَطُوهُمَا إِلَى الْعَرَبَةِ وِحَبَسُوا عِجْلَيْهِمَا فِي الْحَظِيرَةِ، | ١٠ |
11 And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
| ثُمَّ وَضَعُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الْعَرَبَةِ مَعَ الصُّنْدُوقِ وَفِيرَانِ الذَّهَبِ وَنَمَاذِجِ بَوَاسِيرِهِمْ، | ١١ |
12 And the kine took the straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh, [and] went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside [to] the right hand or [to] the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh.
| 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 |
13 And [they of] Beth-shemesh [were] reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see [it].
| وَكَانَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ يَقُومُونَ بِحَصَادِ الْقَمْحِ فِي الْوَادِي، وَمَا إِنْ رَأَوْا التَّابُوتَ حَتَّى غَمَرَتِ الْبَهْجَةُ قُلُوبَهُمْ | ١٣ |
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood there, where [there was] a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD.
| وَتَوَجَّهَتِ الْعَرَبَةُ إِلَى حَقْلِ رَجُلٍ اسْمُهُ يَهُوشَعُ الْبَيْتِشَمْسِيُّ، وَوَقَفَتْ بِجِوَارِ حَجَرٍ كَبِيرٍ. فَشَقَّ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ خَشَبَ الْعَرَبَةِ وَذَبَحُوا الْبَقَرَتَيْنِ وَقَدَّمُوهُمَا مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٤ |
15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that [was] with it, wherein the jewels of gold [were], and put [them] on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.
| 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 |
16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen [it], they returned to Ekron the same day.
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ شَاهَدَ أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الْخَمْسَةُ مَا جَرَى رَجَعُوا إِلَى عَقْرُونَ فِي الْيَوْمِ نَفْسِهِ. | ١٦ |
17 And these [are] the golden emerods which the Philistines returned [for] a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
| 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 |
18 And the golden mice, [according to] the number of all the cities of the Philistines [belonging] to the five lords, [both] of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great [stone of] Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: [which stone remaineth] unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemite.
| 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 |
19 And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten [many] of the people with a great slaughter.
| 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 |
20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
| وَقَالَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ شَمْسَ: «مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُقَاوِمَ الرَّبَّ الإِلَهَ الْقُدُّوسَ هَذَا؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ نُرْسِلُ التَّابُوتَ مِنْ هُنَا؟» | ٢٠ |
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, [and] fetch it up to you.
| وَبَعَثُوا بِرُسُلٍ إِلَى أَهْلِ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ أَعَادَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ، فَتَعَالَوْا وَخُذُوهُ». | ٢١ |
