Kings I 28
1 And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together with their armies to go out to fight with Israel; and Anchus said to David, Know surely, that you shall go forth to battle with me, [you], and your men.
| فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ حَشَدَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ جُيُوشَهُمْ لِمُحَارَبَةِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِدَاوُدَ: «لابُدَّ أَنْ تَنْضَمَّ إِلَى الْجَيْشِ أَنْتَ وَرِجَالُكَ لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ». | ١ |
2 And David said to Anchus, Thus now you shall know what your servant will do. And Anchus said to David, So will I make you captain of my body-guard continually.
| فَأَجَابَهُ دَاوُدُ: «سَتَرَى بِعَيْنَيْكَ مَا يَصْنَعُ عَبْدُكَ فِي الْحَرْبِ». فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِدَاوُدَ: «إِذَنْ أَجْعَلُكَ حَارِسِي الشَّخْصِيَّ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ». | ٢ |
3 And Samuel died, and all Israel lamented for him, and they bury him in his city, in Armathaim. And Saul had removed those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
| وَكَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ قَدْ مَاتَ وَنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي الرَّامَةِ مَدِينَتِهِ، وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ قَدْ طَرَدَ الْعَرَّافِينَ وَوُسَطَاءَ الْجِنِّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ. | ٣ |
4 And the Philistines assemble themselves, and come and encamp in Sonam: and Saul gathers all the men of Israel, and they encamp in Gelbue.
| وَعِنْدَمَا تَجَمَّعَتْ قُوَّاتُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ عَسْكَرُوا فِي شُونَمَ، أَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَقَدْ حَشَدَ جُيُوشَهُ وَخَيَّمَ فِي جِلْبُوعَ. | ٤ |
5 And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was alarmed, and his heart was greatly dismayed.
| وَحِينَ شَاهَدَ شَاوُلُ جَيْشَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مَلأَ قَلْبَهُ الْخَوْفُ وَالاضْطِرَابُ، | ٥ |
6 And Saul enquired of the Lord; and the Lord answered him not by dreams, nor by manifestations, nor by prophets.
| فَاسْتَشَارَ الرَّبَّ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ لَا بِأَحْلامٍ وَلا بِالأُورِيمِ وَلا عَنْ طَرِيقِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ. | ٦ |
7 Then Saul said to his servants, Seek for me a woman who has in her a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire of her: and his servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a woman who has in her a divining spirit at Aendor.
| فَقَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «ابْحَثُوا لِي عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ عَرَّافَةٍ وَسِيطَةٍ، فَأَذْهَبَ إِلَيْهَا وَأَسْتَشِيرَهَا». فَأَجَابَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «هُنَاكَ عَرَّافَةٌ تُقِيمُ فِي عَيْنِ دُورٍ». | ٧ |
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he goes, and two men with him, and they come to the woman by night; and he said to her, Divine to me, I pray you, by the divining spirit within you, and bring up to me him whom I shall name to you.
| فَتَنَكَّرَ شَاوُلُ وَارْتَدَى ثِيَاباً أُخْرَى وَتَوَجَّهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْعَرَّافَةِ لَيْلاً بِصُحْبَةِ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ رِجَالِهِ، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «اسْتَشِيرِي لِي رُوحاً، وَاسْتَدْعِي لِي مَنْ أُسَمِّيهِ لَكِ». | ٨ |
9 And the woman said to him, Behold now, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards from the land, and why do you spread a snare for my life to destroy it?
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ: «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ مَا فَعَلَهُ شَاوُلُ بِالْوُسَطَاءِ الرُّوحَانِيِّينَ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ، وَكَيْفَ قَتَلَهُمْ، فَلِمَاذَا تَنْصِبُ لِي فَخّاً وَتَقْتُلُنِي؟» | ٩ |
10 And Saul swore to her, and said, [As] the Lord lives, no injury shall come upon you on this account.
| فَأَقْسَمَ لَهَا شَاوُلُ قَائِلاً: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ لَنْ يَلْحَقَ بِكِ أَيُّ أَذىً مِنْ جَرَّاءِ هَذَا الأَمْرِ». | ١٠ |
11 And the woman said, Whom shall I bring up to you? and he said, Bring up to me Samuel.
| فَسَأَلَتْهُ الْمَرْأَةُ: «مَنْ أَسْتَدْعِي لَكَ؟» فَأَجَابَهَا: «اسْتَدْعِي لِي صَمُوئِيلَ». | ١١ |
12 And the woman saw Samuel, and cried out with a loud voice: and the woman said to Saul, Why have you deceived me? for you are Saul.
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ صَمُوئِيلَ صَرَخَتْ صَرْخَةً هَائِلَةً وَقَالَتْ لِشَاوُلَ: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتَنِي وَأَنْتَ شَاوُلُ؟» | ١٢ |
13 And the king said to her, Fear not; tell me whom you has seen. And the woman said to him, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «لا تَخَافِي. مَاذَا رَأَيْتِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «رَأَيْتُ طَيْفاً صَاعِداً مِنَ الأَرْضِ» | ١٣ |
14 And he said to her, What did you perceive? and she said to him, An upright man ascending out of the earth, and he [was] clothed with a mantle. And Saul knew that this was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the earth, and did obeisance to him.
| فَسَأَلَهَا: «كَيْفَ هَيْئَتُهُ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «رَجُلٌ شَيْخٌ صَاعِدٌ وَهُوَ مُغَطَّى بِجُبَّةٍ». فَأَدْرَكَ شَاوُلُ أَنَّهُ صَمُوئِيلُ فَخَرَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ سَاجِداً. | ١٤ |
15 And Samuel said, Why have you troubled me, that I should come up? And Saul said, I am greatly distressed, and the Philistines war against me, and God has departed from me, and no longer hearkens to me either by the hand of the prophets or by dreams: and now I have called you to tell me what I shall do.
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لِمَاذَا أَزْعَجْتَنِي بِإِصْعَادِكَ لِي؟». فَأَجَابَ: «إِنَّنِي فِي ضِيقٍ شَدِيدٍ. الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي وَالرَّبُّ قَدْ نَبَذَنِي وَلَمْ يَعُدْ يُجِيبُنِي لَا عَنْ طَرِيقِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَلا بِالأَحْلامِ. فَدَعَوْتُكَ لِتُرْشِدَنِي». | ١٥ |
16 And Samuel said, Why asked you me, whereas the Lord has departed from you, and taken part with your neighbor?
| فَسَأَلَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنِي وَالرَّبُّ قَدْ نَبَذَكَ وَصَارَ لَكَ عَدُوّاً؟ | ١٦ |
17 And the Lord has done to you, as the Lord spoke by me; and the Lord will rend your kingdom out of your hand, and will give it to your neighbor David.
| وَقَدْ حَقَّقَ الرَّبُّ مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِي، فَانْتَزَعَ مِنْكَ الْمُلْكَ وَأَعْطَاهُ لِقَرِيبِكَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٧ |
18 because you did not listen to the voice of the Lord, and did not execute his fierce anger upon Amalec, therefore the Lord has done this thing to you this day.
| لأَنَّكَ لَمْ تُطِعْ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ وَلَمْ تُنَفِّذْ قَضَاءَهُ فِي عَمَالِيقَ، لِذَلِكَ عَاقَبَكَ الرَّبُّ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، | ١٨ |
19 And the Lord shall deliver Israel with you into the hands of the Philistines, and to-morrow you and your sons with you shall fall, and the Lord shall deliver the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.
| وَسَيَجْعَلُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يَهْزِمُونَكَ أَنْتَ وَالإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، وَيَقْضُونَ عَلَى جَيْشِكَ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ فَسَتَلْحَقُونَ غَداً بِي وَتَكُونُونَ مَعِي». | ١٩ |
20 And Saul instantly fell at his full length upon the earth, and was greatly afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no longer any strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day, and all that night.
| فَانْطَرَحَ شَاوُلُ بِطُولِهِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مَرْعُوباً مِنْ كَلامِ صَمُوئِيلَ، كَمَا زَادَ الْجُوعُ مِنْ إِعْيَائِهِ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ تَنَاوَلَ طَعَاماً طَوَالَ يَوْمٍ بِكَامِلِهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 And the woman went in to Saul, and saw that he was greatly disquieted, and said to him, Behold now, your handmaid has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have heard the words which you has spoken to me.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مَا أَصَابَ شَاوُلَ مِنِ ارْتِيَاعٍ شَدِيدٍ، قَالَتْ لَهُ: «هَا قَدْ سَمِعَتْ جَارِيَتُكَ لِصَوْتِكَ، وَحَمَلْتُ رُوحِي فِي كَفِّي وَاسْتَجَبْتُ لِكُلِّ مَا طَلَبْتَهُ مِنِّي. | ٢١ |
22 And now listen, I pray you, to the voice of your handmaid, and I will set before you a morsel of bread, and eat, and you shall be strengthened, for you will be going on your way.
| فَالآنَ اسْتَمِعْ أَنْتَ أَيْضاً لِسُؤْلِ جَارِيَتِكَ، وَدَعْنِي أُقَدِّمُ لَكَ طَعَاماً لِتَأْكُلَ، فَتَسْتَرِدَّ قُوَّتَكَ عِنْدَمَا تَنْطَلِقُ فِي سَبِيلِكَ». | ٢٢ |
23 But he would not eat; so his servants and the woman constrained him, and he listened to their voice, and rose up from the earth, and sat upon a bench.
| فَأَبَى قَائِلاً: «لَنْ آكُلَ». وَلَكِنَّهَا أَلَحَّتْ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدَاهُ، فَأَذْعَنَ لَهُمْ وَقَامَ عَنِ الأَرْضِ وَجَلَسَ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ. | ٢٣ |
24 And the woman had a fat heifer in the house; and she hasted and killed it; and she took meal and kneaded it, and baked unleavened cakes.
| وَكَانَ لَدَى الْمَرْأَةِ عِجْلٌ مُسَمَّنٌ فَبَادَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَذَبَحَتْهُ وَأَخَذَتْ دَقِيقاً وَعَجَنَتْهُ وَخَبَزَتْ فَطِيراً. | ٢٤ |
25 And she brought [the meat] before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate, and rose up, and departed that night.
| ثُمَّ وَضَعَتْهُ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ وَرَجُلَيْهِ فَأَكَلُوا، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا مِنْ عِنْدِهَا فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ. | ٢٥ |
