1 Samuel 14

1 And the day comes that Jonathan son of Saul says to the young man carrying his weapons, “Come, and we pass over to the station of the Philistines, which [is] on the other side of this”; and he has not declared [it] to his father.

١ وَفِي ذَاتِ يَوْمٍ قَالَ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شَاوُلَ لِلْغُلَامِ حَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَعْبُرْ إِلَى حَفَظَةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْعَبْرِ». وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْ أَبَاهُ.

2 And Saul is abiding at the extremity of Gibeah, under the pomegranate which [is] in Migron, and the people who [are] with him [are] about six hundred men,

٢ وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ مُقِيمًا فِي طَرَفِ جِبْعَةَ تَحْتَ ٱلرُّمَّانَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي مِغْرُونَ، وَٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ نَحْوُ سِتِّ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ.

3 and Ahiah, son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, son of Phinehas son of Eli priest of YHWH in Shiloh, [was] bearing an ephod; and the people did not know that Jonathan has gone.

٣ وَأَخِيَّا بْنُ أَخِيطُوبَ، أَخِي إِيخَابُودَ بْنِ فِينَحَاسَ بْنِ عَالِي، كَاهِنُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ كَانَ لَابِسًا أَفُودًا. وَلَمْ يَعْلَمِ ٱلشَّعْبُ أَنَّ يُونَاثَانَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ.

4 And between the passages where Jonathan sought to pass over to the station of the Philistines [is] the edge of a rock on one side, and the edge of a rock on the other side, and the name of one is Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

٤ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَعَابِرِ ٱلَّتِي ٱلْتَمَسَ يُونَاثَانُ أَنْ يَعْبُرَهَا إِلَى حَفَظَةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سِنُّ صَخْرَةٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْجِهَةِ وَسِنُّ صَخْرَةٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْجِهَةِ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ «بُوصَيْصُ» وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى «سَنَهُ».

5 One edge [is] fixed on the north in front of Michmash, and the one on the south in front of Gibeah.

٥ وَٱلسِّنُّ ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَمُودٌ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ مُقَابِلَ مِخْمَاسَ، وَٱلْآخَرُ إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ مُقَابِلَ جِبْعَ.

6 And Jonathan says to the young man carrying his weapons, “Come, and we pass over to the station of these uncircumcised; it may be YHWH works for us, for there is no restraint to YHWH to save by many or by few.”

٦ فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِلْغُلَامِ حَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَعْبُرْ إِلَى صَفِّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْغُلْفِ، لَعَلَّ ٱللهَ يَعْمَلُ مَعَنَا، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلرَّبِّ مَانِعٌ عَنْ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ بِٱلْكَثِيرِ أَوْ بِٱلْقَلِيلِ».

7 And the bearer of his weapons says to him, “Do all that [is] in your heart; turn for yourself; behold, I [am] with you, as your own heart.”

٧ فَقَالَ لَهُ حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ: «ٱعْمَلْ كُلَّ مَا بِقَلْبِكَ. تَقَدَّمْ. هَأَنَذَا مَعَكَ حَسَبَ قَلْبِكَ».

8 And Jonathan says, “Behold, we are passing over to the men, and are revealed to them;

٨ فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «هُوَذَا نَحْنُ نَعْبُرُ إِلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ وَنُظْهِرُ أَنْفُسَنَا لَهُمْ.

9 if they thus say to us, Stand still until we have come to you, then we have stood in our place, and do not go up to them;

٩ فَإِنْ قَالُوا لَنَا هَكَذَا: دُومُوا حَتَّى نَصِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ. نَقِفُ فِي مَكَانِنَا وَلَا نَصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِمْ.

10 and if they thus say, Come up against us, then we have gone up, for YHWH has given them into our hand, and this [is] the sign to us.”

١٠ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالُوا هَكَذَا: ٱصْعَدُوا إِلَيْنَا. نَصْعَدُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِنَا، وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ لَنَا».

11 And both of them are revealed to the station of the Philistines, and the Philistines say, “Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hid themselves.”

١١ فَأَظْهَرَا أَنْفُسَهُمَا لِصَفِّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. فَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ خَارِجُونَ مِنَ ٱلثُّقُوبِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَبَأُوا فِيهَا».

12 And the men of the station answer Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons, and say, “Come up to us, and we cause you to know something.” And Jonathan says to the bearer of his weapons, “Come up after me, for YHWH has given them into the hand of Israel.”

١٢ فَأَجَابَ رِجَالُ ٱلصَّفِّ يُونَاثَانَ وَحَامِلَ سِلَاحِهِ وَقَالُوا: «ٱصْعَدَا إِلَيْنَا فَنُعَلِّمَكُمَا شَيْئًا». فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِحَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «ٱصْعَدْ وَرَائِي لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

13 And Jonathan goes up on his hands, and on his feet, and the bearer of his weapons after him; and they fall before Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons is putting [them] to death after him.

١٣ فَصَعِدَ يُونَاثَانُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ وَرَاءَهُ. فَسَقَطُوا أَمَامَ يُونَاثَانَ، وَكَانَ حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ يُقَتِّلُ وَرَاءَهُ.

14 And the first striking which Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons have struck is of about twenty men, in about half a furrow of a yoke of a field,

١٤ وَكَانَتِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ ٱلْأُولَى ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبَهَا يُونَاثَانُ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ نَحْوَ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا فِي نَحْوِ نِصْفِ تَلَمِ فَدَّانِ أَرْضٍ.

15 and there is a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people, the station and the destroyers have trembled—even they, and the earth shakes, and it becomes a trembling of God.

١٥ وَكَانَ ٱرْتِعَادٌ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٱلصَّفُّ وَٱلْمُخَرِّبُونَ ٱرْتَعَدُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا، وَرَجَفَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ فَكَانَ ٱرْتِعَادٌ عَظِيمٌ.

16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin see, and behold, the multitude has melted away, and it goes on, and is beaten down.

١٦ فَنَظَرَ ٱلْمُرَاقِبُونَ لِشَاوُلَ فِي جِبْعَةِ بَنْيَامِينَ، وَإِذَا بِٱلْجُمْهُورِ قَدْ ذَابَ وَذَهَبُوا مُتَبَدِّدِينَ.

17 And Saul says to the people who [are] with him, “Now inspect and see; who has gone from us?” And they inspect, and behold, Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons are not.

١٧ فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ: «عُدُّوا ٱلْآنَ وَٱنْظُرُوا مَنْ ذَهَبَ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا». فَعَدُّوا، وَهُوَذَا يُونَاثَانُ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ لَيْسَا مَوْجُودَيْنِ.

18 And Saul says to Ahiah, “Bring the Ark of God near”; for the Ark of God has been with the sons of Israel on that day.

١٨ فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِأَخِيَّا: «قَدِّمْ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ». لِأَنَّ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

19 And it comes to pass, while Saul spoke to the priest, that the noise which [is] in the camp of the Philistines goes on, going on and becoming great, and Saul says to the priest, “Remove your hand.”

١٩ وَفِيمَا كَانَ شَاوُلُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بَعْدُ مَعَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، تَزَايَدَ ٱلضَّجِيجُ ٱلَّذِي فِي مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَكَثُرَ. فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلْكَاهِنِ: «كُفَّ يَدَكَ».

20 And Saul is called, and all the people who [are] with him, and they come to the battle, and behold, the sword of each has been against his neighbor—a very great destruction.

٢٠ وَصَاحَ شَاوُلُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَإِذَا بِسَيْفِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ. ٱضْطِرَابٌ عَظِيمٌ جِدًّا.

21 And the Hebrews [who] have been with the Philistines before the day prior, who had gone up with them into the camp, have turned around, even they, to be with Israel who [are] with Saul and Jonathan,

٢١ وَٱلْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ، ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ مِنْ حَوَالَيْهِمْ، صَارُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ.

22 and all the men of Israel, who are hiding themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, have heard that the Philistines have fled, and they pursue—even they—after them in battle.

٢٢ وَسَمِعَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَبَأُوا فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ أَنَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ هَرَبُوا، فَشَدُّوا هُمْ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَهُمْ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ.

23 And YHWH saves Israel on that day, and the battle has passed over to Beth-Aven.

٢٣ فَخَلَّصَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. وَعَبَرَتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ إِلَى بَيْتِ آوِنَ.

24 And the men of Israel have been distressed on that day, and Saul adjures the people, saying, “Cursed [is] the man who eats food until the evening, and I have been avenged of my enemies”; and none of the people have tasted food.

٢٤ وَضَنُكَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّ شَاوُلَ حَلَّفَ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: «مَلْعُونٌ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ حَتَّى أَنْتَقِمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي». فَلَمْ يَذُقْ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ خُبْزًا.

25 And all [those of] the land have come into a forest, and there is honey on the face of the field;

٢٥ وَجَاءَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلْوَعْرِ وَكَانَ عَسَلٌ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْحَقْلِ.

26 and the people come into the forest, and behold, the honey dropped, and none is moving his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

٢٦ وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْوَعْرَ إِذَا بِٱلْعَسَلِ يَقْطُرُ وَلَمْ يَمُدَّ أَحَدٌ يَدَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ خَافَ مِنَ ٱلْقَسَمِ.

27 And Jonathan has not heard of his father’s adjuring the people, and puts forth the end of the rod, which [is] in his hand, and dips it in the honeycomb, and brings back his hand to his mouth—and his eyes see!

٢٧ وَأَمَّا يُونَاثَانُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ عِنْدَمَا ٱسْتَحْلَفَ أَبُوهُ ٱلشَّعْبَ، فَمَدَّ طَرَفَ ٱلنُّشَّابَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِيَدِهِ وَغَمَسَهُ فِي قَطْرِ ٱلْعَسَلِ وَرَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ فَٱسْتَنَارَتْ عَيْنَاهُ.

28 And a man of the people answers and says, “Your father certainly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who eats food today; and the people are weary.”

٢٨ فَأَجَابَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ حَلَّفَ أَبُوكَ ٱلشَّعْبَ حَلْفًا قَائِلًا: مَلْعُونٌ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا ٱلْيَوْمَ. فَأَعْيَا ٱلشَّعْبُ».

29 And Jonathan says, “My father has troubled the land; now see that my eyes have become bright because I tasted a little of this honey.

٢٩ فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «قَدْ كَدَّرَ أَبِي ٱلْأَرْضَ. اُنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ ٱسْتَنَارَتْ عَيْنَايَ لِأَنِّي ذُقْتُ قَلِيلًا مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْعَسَلِ.

30 How much more if the people had well eaten today of the spoil of its enemies which it has found, for now the striking has not been great among the Philistines.”

٣٠ فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ لَوْ أَكَلَ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ غَنِيمَةِ أَعْدَائِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي وَجَدُوا؟ أَمَا كَانَتِ ٱلْآنَ ضَرْبَةٌ أَعْظَمُ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟»

31 And they strike on that day among the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, and the people are very weary,

٣١ فَضَرَبُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ مِخْمَاسَ إِلَى أَيَّلُونَ. وَأَعْيَا ٱلشَّعْبُ جِدًّا.

32 and the people make toward the spoil, and take sheep, and oxen, and sons of the herd, and slaughter on the earth, and the people eat with the blood.

٣٢ وَثَارَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ، فَأَخَذُوا غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَعُجُولًا، وَذَبَحُوا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَأَكَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى ٱلدَّمِ.

33 And they declare to Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against YHWH, to eat with the blood.” And he says, “You have dealt treacherously, roll a great stone to me today.”

٣٣ فَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ يُخْطِئُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِأَكْلِهِ عَلَى ٱلدَّمِ». فَقَالَ: «قَدْ غَدَرْتُمْ. دَحْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ ٱلْآنَ حَجَرًا كَبِيرًا».

34 And Saul says, “Be scattered among the people, and you have said to them: Each bring his ox to me, and each his sheep; and you have slain [them] in this place, and eaten, and you do not sin against YHWH to eat with the blood.” And all the people bring [them]—each one [with] his ox in his hand, that night—and slaughter [them] there.

٣٤ وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «تَفَرَّقُوا بَيْنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ أَنْ يُقَدِّمُوا إِلَيَّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ثَوْرَهُ وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ شَاتَهُ، وَٱذْبَحُوا هَهُنَا وَكُلُوا وَلَا تُخْطِئُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِأَكْلِكُمْ مَعَ ٱلدَّمِ». فَقَدَّمَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ثَوْرَهُ بِيَدِهِ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ وَذَبَحُوا هُنَاكَ.

35 And Saul builds an altar to YHWH; with it he has begun to build altars to YHWH.

٣٥ وَبَنَى شَاوُلُ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. ٱلَّذِي شَرَعَ بِبُنْيَانِهِ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ.

36 And Saul says, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and we prey on them until the morning light, and do not leave a man of them.” And they say, “Do all that is good in your eyes.” And the priest says, “Let us draw near to God here.”

٣٦ وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لِنَنْزِلْ وَرَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لَيْلًا وَنَنْهَبْهُمْ إِلَى ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَلَا نُبْقِ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا». فَقَالُوا: «ٱفْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». وَقَالَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ: «لِنَتَقَدَّمْ هُنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ».

37 And Saul asks of God, “Do I go down after the Philistines? Do You give them into the hand of Israel?” And He has not answered him on that day.

٣٧ فَسَأَلَ شَاوُلُ ٱللهَ: «أَأَنْحَدِرُ وَرَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟ أَتَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.

38 And Saul says, “Everyone draw near here, the chiefs of the people, and know and see in what this sin has been today;

٣٨ فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى هُنَا يَا جَمِيعَ وُجُوهِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَٱعْلَمُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا بِمَاذَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ ٱلْيَوْمَ.

39 for YHWH lives, who is saving Israel: surely if it is in my son Jonathan, surely he certainly dies”; and none is answering him out of all the people.

٣٩ لِأَنَّهُ حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَوْ كَانَتْ فِي يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِي فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ مَوْتًا». وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يُجِيبُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

40 And he says to all Israel, “You are on one side, and I and my son Jonathan are on another side”; and the people say to Saul, “Do that which is good in your eyes.”

٤٠ فَقَالَ لِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ فِي جَانِبٍ وَأَنَا وَيُونَاثَانُ ٱبْنِي فِي جَانِبٍ». فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِشَاوُلَ: «ٱصْنَعْ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ».

41 And Saul says to YHWH, God of Israel, “Give perfection”; and Jonathan and Saul are captured, and the people went out.

٤١ وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَبْ صِدْقًا». فَأُخِذَ يُونَاثَانُ وَشَاوُلُ، أَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ فَخَرَجُوا.

42 And Saul says, “Cast between me and my son Jonathan”; and Jonathan is captured.

٤٢ فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «أَلْقُوا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِي. فَأُخِذَ يُونَاثَانُ».

43 And Saul says to Jonathan, “Declare to me, what have you done?” And Jonathan declares to him and says, “I certainly tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that [is] in my hand; behold, I die!”

٤٣ فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِيُونَاثَانَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ». فَأَخْبَرَهُ يُونَاثَانُ وَقَالَ: «ذُقْتُ ذَوْقًا بِطَرَفِ ٱلنُّشَّابَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِيَدِي قَلِيلَ عَسَلٍ. فَهَأَنَذَا أَمُوتُ».

44 And Saul says, “Thus God does, and thus does He add, for you certainly die, Jonathan.”

٤٤ فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱللهُ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ إِنَّكَ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ يَايُونَاثَانُ».

45 And the people say to Saul, “Does Jonathan die who worked this great salvation in Israel? Certainly not! YHWH lives, if there falls to the earth [even one] hair from his head, for with God he has worked this day”; and the people rescue Jonathan, and he has not died.

٤٥ فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِشَاوُلَ: «أَيَمُوتُ يُونَاثَانُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ هَذَا ٱلْخَلَاصَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ حَاشَا! حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا تَسْقُطُ شَعْرَةٌ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِأَنَّهُ مَعَ ٱللهِ عَمِلَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ». فَٱفْتَدَى ٱلشَّعْبُ يُونَاثَانَ فَلَمْ يَمُتْ.

46 And Saul goes up from after the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone to their place;

٤٦ فَصَعِدَ شَاوُلُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَذَهَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِمْ.

47 and Saul captured the kingdom over Israel, and he fights all around against all his enemies, against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines, and wherever he turns he distresses [them].

٤٧ وَأَخَذَ شَاوُلُ ٱلْمُلْكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحَارَبَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ: مُوآبَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ وَأَدُومَ وَمُلُوكَ صُوبَةَ وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَحَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهَ غَلَبَ.

48 And he makes a force, and strikes Amalek, and delivers Israel out of the hand of its spoiler.

٤٨ وَفَعَلَ بِبَأْسٍ وَضَرَبَ عَمَالِيقَ، وَأَنْقَذَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ يَدِ نَاهِبِيهِ.

49 And the sons of Saul are Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-Shua; as for the name of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn [is] Merab, and the name of the younger Michal;

٤٩ وَكَانَ بَنُو شَاوُلَ: يُونَاثَانَ وَيَشْوِيَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ، وَٱسْمَا ٱبْنَتَيْهِ: ٱسْمُ ٱلْبِكْرِ مَيْرَبُ وَٱسْمُ ٱلصَّغِيرَةِ مِيكَالُ.

50 and the name of the wife of Saul [is] Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz; and the name of the head of his host [is] Abner son of Ner, uncle of Saul;

٥٠ وَٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَةِ شَاوُلَ أَخِينُوعَمُ بِنْتُ أَخِيمَعَصَ، وَٱسْمُ رَئِيسِ جَيْشِهِ أَبِينَيْرُ بْنُ نَيْرَ عَمِّ شَاوُلَ.

51 and Kish [is] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, [is] the son of Ahiel.

٥١ وَقَيْسُ أَبُو شَاوُلَ وَنَيْرُ أَبُو أَبْنَيْرَ ٱبْنَا أَبِيئِيلَ.

52 And the war is severe against the Philistines all the days of Saul; when Saul has seen any mighty man, and any son of valor, then he gathers him to himself.

٥٢ وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ شَدِيدَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ شَاوُلَ. وَإِذَا رَأَى شَاوُلُ رَجُلًا جَبَّارًا أَوْ ذَا بَأْسٍ ضَمَّهُ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ.
