< Chronicles I 10 >

1 Now the Philistines warred against Israel; and they fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelbue.
وَشَنَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ حَرْباً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فَانْهَزَمَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ أَمَامَهُمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ سَقَطَ مِنْهُمْ عَدَدٌ غَفِيرٌ قَتْلَى فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ.١
2 And the Philistines pursued after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines struck Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisue, sons of Saul.
وَتَعَقَّبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ، فَقَتَلُوا يُونَاثَانَ وَأَبيِنَادَابَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ، أَبْنَاءَ شَاوُلَ.٢
3 And the battle prevailed against Saul, and the archers hit him with bows and arrows, and they were wounded of the bows.
وَاشْتَدَّتِ الْمَعْرَكَةُ حَوْلَ شَاوُلَ، فَتَمَكَّنَ رُمَاةُ الْقِسِيِّ مِنْ إِصَابَتِهِ بِجُرْحٍ قَاتِلٍ،٣
4 And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword, and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mock me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid: so Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِحَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ: «اسْتَلَّ سَيْفَكَ وَاقْتُلْنِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَلْحَقَ بِي هَؤُلاءِ الْغُلْفُ وَيُشَوِّهُونِي». فَأَبَى حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ الإِقْدَامَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ لِشِدَّةِ خَوْفِهِ، فَتَنَاوَلَ شَاوُلُ السَّيْفَ وَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ.٤
5 And his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he also fell upon his sword.
فَلَمَّا شَاهَدَ حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ أَنَّ سَيِّدَهُ قَدْ مَاتَ، وَقَعَ هُوَ أَيْضاً عَلَى سَيْفِهِ وَمَاتَ.٥
6 So Saul died, and his three sons on that day, and all his family died at the same time.
وَهَكَذَا قَضَى شَاوُلُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ الثَّلاثَةُ مَعَ سَائِرِ رِجَالِ بَيْتِهِ أَيْضاً.٦
7 And all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, and they left their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and lived in them.
وَعِنْدَمَا أَدْرَكَ جَمِيعُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ فِي الْوَادِي أَنَّ الْجَيْشَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ قَدْ هَرَبَ، وَأَنَّ الْمَلِكَ شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ قَدْ سَقَطُوا صَرْعَى، هَجَرُوا مُدُنَهُمْ، فَجَاءَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَسَكَنُوا فِيهَا.٧
8 And it came to pass on the next [day] that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gelbue.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي لِلْمَعْرَكَةِ، أَقْبَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِسَلْبِ الْقَتْلَى فَعَثَرُوا عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ قَتْلَى فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ،٨
9 And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim the glad tidings to their idols, and to the people.
فَجَرَّدُوهُ مِنْ سِلاحِهِ، وَقَطَعُوا رَأْسَهُ، وَأَذَاعُوا الْبُشْرَى فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ دِيَارِهِمْ وَفِي مَعَابِدِهِمْ وَبَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ.٩
10 And they put their armor in the house of their god, and they put his head in the house of Dagon.
وَوَضَعُوا سِلاحَهُ فِي مَعْبَدِ آلِهَتِهِمْ، وَسَمَّرُوا رَأْسَهُ فِي هَيْكَلِ دَاجُونَ.١٠
11 And all the dwellers in Galaad heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul and to Israel.
وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ خَبَرُ مَا فَعَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بِشَاوُلَ مَسَامِعَ أَهْلِ يَابِيشَ جِلْعَادَ،١١
12 And all the mighty men rose up from Galaad, and they took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabis, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabis, and fasted seven days.
هَبَّ كُلُّ مُحَارِبٍ جَرِيءٍ وَأَخَذُوا جُثَّةَ شَاوُلَ وَجُثَثَ أَبْنَائِهِ وَحَمَلُوها إِلَى يَابِيشَ، وَوَارَوْا عِظَامَهُمْ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ الْبَلُّوطِ فِي يَابِيشَ وَصَامُوا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.١٢
13 So Saul died for his transgressions, wherein he transgressed against God, against the word of the Lord, forasmuch as he kept [it] not, because Saul enquired of a wizard to seek [counsel], and Samuel the prophet answered him:
وَهَكَذَا مَاتَ شَاوُلُ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خِيَانَتِهِ وَعِصْيَانِهِ لِلرَّبِّ، وَلأَنَّهُ لَجَأَ إِلَى الْجَانِ طَلَباً لِلْمَشُورَةِ.١٣
14 and he sought not the Lord: so he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
وَلَمْ يَلْجَأْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ طَلَباً لِمَشُورَتِهِ، فَقَضَى الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَرْشَ الْمُلْكِ لِدَاوُدَ بْنِ يَسَّى.١٤
