1 Samuel 21
1 And David came to Nob to Achimelech the priest; and Achimelech hastened trembling to meet David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man is with thee?
| فَجَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى نُوبٍ إِلَى أَخِيمَالِكَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، فَٱضْطَرَبَ أَخِيمَالِكُ عِنْدَ لِقَاءِ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ وَلَيْسَ مَعَكَ أَحَدٌ؟». | ١ |
2 And David said unto Achimelech the priest, The king commanded me a business, and said unto me, Let not any man know the least of the business concerning which I send thee, and which I have commanded thee. And the young men have I appointed to such and such a place.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَخِيمَالِكَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ: «إِنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ أَمَرَنِي بِشَيْءٍ وَقَالَ لِي: لَا يَعْلَمْ أَحَدٌ شَيْئًا مِنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُكَ فِيهِ وَأَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْغِلْمَانُ فَقَدْ عَيَّنْتُ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ ٱلْفُلَانِيَّ وَٱلْفُلَانِيَّ. | ٢ |
3 And now what hast thou on hand: put five loaves of bread into my hand, or what else can be found.
| وَٱلْآنَ فَمَاذَا يُوجَدُ تَحْتَ يَدِكَ؟ أَعْطِ خَمْسَ خُبْزَاتٍ فِي يَدِي أَوِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَ». | ٣ |
4 And the priest answered David, and said, I have no common bread on hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have only withheld themselves from women.
| فَأَجَابَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: «لَا يُوجَدُ خُبْزٌ مُحَلَّلٌ تَحْتَ يَدِي، وَلَكِنْ يُوجَدُ خُبْزٌ مُقَدَّسٌ إِذَا كَانَ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ قَدْ حَفِظُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لَا سِيَّمَا مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ». | ٤ |
5 And David answered the priest and said to him, To a certainty women have been denied us yesterday and the day before, when I went forth, and the vessels of the young men were holy: and if this was the custom with unholy things, how much more will it remain this day holy in the vessels.
| فَأَجَابَ دَاوُدُ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ ٱلنِّسَاءَ قَدْ مُنِعَتْ عَنَّا مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِي، وَأَمْتِعَةُ ٱلْغِلْمَانِ مُقَدَّسَةٌ. وَهُوَ عَلَى نَوْعٍ مُحَلَّلٌ، وَٱلْيَوْمَ أَيْضًا يَتَقَدَّسُ بِٱلْآنِيَةِ». | ٥ |
6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread; for there was no bread there except the showbread, that was removed from before the Lord, so as to put down hot bread on the day when it was taken away.
| فَأَعْطَاهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُنَاكَ خُبْزٌ إِلَّا خُبْزَ ٱلْوُجُوهِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعَ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِكَيْ يُوضَعَ خُبْزٌ سُخْنٌ فِي يَوْمِ أَخْذِهِ. | ٦ |
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there on that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was Doeg, the Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen that belonged to Saul.
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عَبِيدِ شَاوُلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَحْصُورًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱسْمُهُ دُوَاغُ ٱلْأَدُومِيُّ رَئِيسُ رُعَاةِ شَاوُلَ. | ٧ |
8 And David said unto Achimelech, Hast thou not also here at hand a spear or sword: for both my sword as also my other weapons have I not brought with me, because the king's business was urgent.
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَخِيمَالِكَ: «أَفَمَا يُوجَدُ هُنَا تَحْتَ يَدِكَ رُمْحٌ أَوْ سَيْفٌ، لِأَنِّي لَمْ آخُذْ بِيَدِي سَيْفِي وَلَا سِلَاحِي لِأَنَّ أَمْرَ ٱلْمَلِكِ كَانَ مُعَجِّلًا؟». | ٨ |
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou didst slay in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that for thyself, take it; for there is no other save it here. And David said, There is none like that: give it to me.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ: «إِنَّ سَيْفَ جُلْيَاتَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ ٱلَّذِي قَتَلْتَهُ فِي وَادِي ٱلْبُطْمِ، هَا هُوَ مَلْفُوفٌ فِي ثَوْبٍ خَلْفَ ٱلْأَفُودِ، فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَهُ فَخُذْهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ آخَرُ سِوَاهُ هُنَا». فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «لَا يُوجَدُ مِثْلُهُ، أَعْطِنِي إِيَّاهُ». | ٩ |
10 And David arose, and fled on that day from before Saul, and came to Achish the king of Gath.
| وَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَهَرَبَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِنْ أَمَامِ شَاوُلَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى أَخِيشَ مَلِكِ جَتَّ. | ١٠ |
11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not of this man sing one to another in the dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
| فَقَالَ عَبِيدُ أَخِيشَ لَهُ: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا دَاوُدَ مَلِكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ أَلَيْسَ لِهَذَا كُنَّ يُغَنِّينَ فِي ٱلرَّقْصِ قَائِلَاتٍ: ضَرَبَ شَاوُلُ أُلُوفَهُ وَدَاوُدُ رِبْوَاتِهِ؟». | ١١ |
12 And David took these words to his heart, and was greatly afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
| فَوَضَعَ دَاوُدُ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَخَافَ جِدًّا مِنْ أَخِيشَ مَلِكِ جَتَّ. | ١٢ |
13 And he disguised his reason before their eyes, and played the madman in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down upon his beard.
| فَغَيَّرَ عَقْلَهُ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ، وَتَظَاهَرَ بِٱلْجُنُونِ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَأَخَذَ يُخَرْبِشُ عَلَى مَصَارِيعِ ٱلْبَابِ وَيُسِيلُ رِيقَهُ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ. | ١٣ |
14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see, the man is mad: wherefore then will ye bring him to me?
| فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «هُوَذَا تَرَوْنَ ٱلرَّجُلَ مَجْنُونًا، فَلِمَاذَا تَأْتُونَ بِهِ إِلَيَّ؟ | ١٤ |
15 Have I lack of madmen, that ye have brought this man to play his pranks about me? shall this one come into my house?
| أَلَعَلِّي مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى مَجَانِينَ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُمْ بِهَذَا لِيَتَجَنَّنَ عَلَيَّ؟ أَهَذَا يَدْخُلُ بَيْتِي؟». | ١٥ |
