1 Samuel 17
1 And the Philistines gather their camps to battle, and are gathered to Shochoh, which [is] to Judah, and encamp between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-Dammim;
| وَجَمَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ جُيُوشَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ، فَٱجْتَمَعُوا فِي سُوكُوهَ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا، وَنَزَلُوا بَيْنَ سُوكُوهَ وَعَزِيقَةَ فِي أَفَسِ دَمِّيمَ. | ١ |
2 and Saul and the men of Israel have been gathered, and encamp by the Valley of Elah, and set in array [for] battle to meet the Philistines.
| وَٱجْتَمَعَ شَاوُلُ وَرِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي وَادِي ٱلْبُطْمِ، وَٱصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٢ |
3 And the Philistines are standing on the mountain on this [side], and Israel is standing on the mountain on that [side], and the valley [is] between them.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وُقُوفًا عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْ هُنَا، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ وُقُوفًا عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْوَادِي بَيْنَهُمْ. | ٣ |
4 And a man goes out, the champion from the camps of the Philistines, his name [is] Goliath, from Gath; his height [is] six cubits and a span [[or four cubits and a span]],
| فَخَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مُبَارِزٌ مِنْ جُيُوشِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱسْمُهُ جُلْيَاتُ، مِنْ جَتَّ، طُولُهُ سِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ وَشِبْرٌ، | ٤ |
5 and a helmet of bronze [is] on his head, and he is clothed [with] a scaled coat of mail, and the weight of the coat of mail [is] five thousand shekels of bronze,
| وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ خُوذَةٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَكَانَ لَابِسًا دِرْعًا حَرْشَفِيًّا، وَوَزْنَ ٱلْدِّرْعِ خَمْسَةُ آلَافِ شَاقِلِ نُحَاسٍ، | ٥ |
6 and a frontlet of bronze [is] on his feet, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders,
| وَجُرْمُوقَا نُحَاسٍ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ، وَمِزْرَاقُ نُحَاسٍ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ، | ٦ |
7 and the wood of his spear [is] like a weavers’ beam, and the flame of his spear [is] six hundred shekels of iron, and the bearer of the buckler is going before him.
| وَقَنَاةُ رُمْحِهِ كَنَوْلِ ٱلنَّسَّاجِينَ، وَسِنَانُ رُمْحِهِ سِتُّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلِ حَدِيدٍ، وَحَامِلُ ٱلتُّرْسِ كَانَ يَمْشِي قُدَّامَهُ. | ٧ |
8 And he stands and calls to the ranks of Israel, and says to them, “Why do you come out to set in array for battle? [Am] I not the Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me;
| فَوَقَفَ وَنَادَى صُفُوفَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تَخْرُجُونَ لِتَصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ؟ أَمَا أَنَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ، وَأَنْتُمْ عَبِيدٌ لِشَاوُلَ؟ ٱخْتَارُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ رَجُلًا وَلْيَنْزِلْ إِلَيَّ. | ٨ |
9 if he is able to fight with me, and has struck me, then we have been for servants to you; and if I prevail against him, and have struck him, then you have been for servants to us, and have served us.”
| فَإِنْ قَدَرَ أَنْ يُحَارِبَنِي وَيَقْتُلَنِي نَصِيرُ لَكُمْ عَبِيدًا، وَإِنْ قَدَرْتُ أَنَا عَلَيْهِ وَقَتَلْتُهُ تَصِيرُونَ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا عَبِيدًا وَتَخْدِمُونَنَا». | ٩ |
10 And the Philistine says, “I have reproached the ranks of Israel this day; give a man to me and we fight together!”
| وَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ: «أَنَا عَيَّرْتُ صُفُوفَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ. أَعْطُونِي رَجُلًا فَنَتَحَارَبَ مَعًا». | ١٠ |
11 And Saul hears—and all Israel—these words of the Philistine, and they are broken down and greatly afraid.
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ شَاوُلُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَلَامَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ هَذَا ٱرْتَاعُوا وَخَافُوا جِدًّا. | ١١ |
12 And David [is] son of this Ephraimite of Beth-Lehem-Judah, whose name [is] Jesse, and he has eight sons, and the man has become aged among men in the days of Saul;
| وَدَاوُدُ هُوَ ٱبْنُ ذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْأَفْرَاتِيِّ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِي ٱسْمُهُ يَسَّى وَلَهُ ثَمَانِيَةُ بَنِينَ. وَكَانَ ٱلرَّجُلُ فِي أَيَّامِ شَاوُلَ قَدْ شَاخَ وَكَبُرَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ. | ١٢ |
13 and the three eldest sons of Jesse go, they have gone after Saul to battle; and the name of his three sons who have gone into battle [are] Eliab the firstborn, and his second Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
| وَذَهَبَ بَنُو يَسَّى ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ ٱلْكِبَارُ وَتَبِعُوا شَاوُلَ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ. وَأَسْمَاءُ بَنِيهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ: أَلِيآبُ ٱلْبِكْرُ، وَأَبِينَادَابُ ثَانِيهِ، وَشَمَّةُ ثَالِثُهُمَا. | ١٣ |
14 And David is the youngest, and the three eldest have gone after Saul,
| وَدَاوُدُ هُوَ ٱلصَّغِيرُ. وَٱلثَّلَاثَةُ ٱلْكِبَارُ ذَهَبُوا وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ. | ١٤ |
15 and David is going and returning from Saul, to feed the flock of his father at Beth-Lehem.
| وَأَمَّا دَاوُدُ فَكَانَ يَذْهَبُ وَيَرْجِعُ مِنْ عِنْدِ شَاوُلَ لِيَرْعَى غَنَمَ أَبِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ. | ١٥ |
16 And the Philistine draws near, morning and evening, and stations himself [for] forty days.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ يَتَقَدَّمُ وَيَقِفُ صَبَاحًا وَمَسَاءً أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. | ١٦ |
17 And Jesse says to his son David, “Now take an ephah of this roasted [grain] and these ten loaves for your brothers, and run to the camp to your brothers;
| فَقَالَ يَسَّى لِدَاوُدَ ٱبْنِهِ: «خُذْ لِإِخْوَتِكَ إِيفَةً مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْفَرِيكِ، وَهَذِهِ ٱلْعَشَرَ ٱلْخُبْزَاتِ وَٱرْكُضْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى إِخْوَتِكَ. | ١٧ |
18 and take these ten cuttings of the cheese to the head of the one thousand, and inspect your brothers for welfare, and receive their pledge.”
| وَهَذِهِ ٱلْعَشَرَ ٱلْقِطْعَاتِ مِنَ ٱلْجُبْنِ قَدِّمْهَا لِرَئِيسِ ٱلْأَلْفِ، وَٱفْتَقِدْ سَلَامَةَ إِخْوَتِكَ وَخُذْ مِنْهُمْ عُرْبُونًا». | ١٨ |
19 And Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [are] in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
| وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ وَهُمْ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَادِي ٱلْبُطْمِ يُحَارِبُونَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ١٩ |
20 And David rises early in the morning, and leaves the flock to a keeper, and lifts up, and goes, as Jesse commanded him, and he comes to the path, and to the force which is going out to the rank, and they have shouted for battle;
| فَبَكَّرَ دَاوُدُ صَبَاحًا وَتَرَكَ ٱلْغَنَمَ مَعَ حَارِسٍ، وَحَمَّلَ وَذَهَبَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ يَسَّى، وَأَتَى إِلَى ٱلْمِتْرَاسِ، وَٱلْجَيْشُ خَارِجٌ إِلَى ٱلِٱصْطِفَافِ وَهَتَفُوا لِلْحَرْبِ. | ٢٠ |
21 and Israel and the Philistines set in array rank to meet rank.
| وَٱصْطَفَّ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ صَفًّا مُقَابِلَ صَفٍّ. | ٢١ |
22 And David lets down the goods from off him on the hand of a keeper of the goods, and runs into the rank, and comes and asks of his brothers of [their] welfare.
| فَتَرَكَ دَاوُدُ ٱلْأَمْتِعَةَ ٱلَّتِي مَعَهُ بِيَدِ حَافِظِ ٱلْأَمْتِعَةِ، وَرَكَضَ إِلَى ٱلصَّفِّ وَأَتَى وَسَأَلَ عَنْ سَلَامَةِ إِخْوَتِهِ. | ٢٢ |
23 And he is speaking with them, and behold, a man, the champion, is coming up, his name [is] Goliath the Philistine, from Gath, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he speaks according to those words, and David hears;
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ إِذَا بِرَجُلٍ مُبَارِزٍ ٱسْمُهُ جُلْيَاتُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ مِنْ جَتَّ، صَاعِدٌ مِنْ صُفُوفِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَتَكَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَسَمِعَ دَاوُدُ. | ٢٣ |
24 and all the men of Israel, when they see the man, flee from his presence, and are greatly afraid.
| وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمَّا رَأَوْا ٱلرَّجُلَ هَرَبُوا مِنْهُ وَخَافُوا جِدًّا. | ٢٤ |
25 And the men of Israel say, “Have you seen this man who is coming up? For he is coming up to reproach Israel, and it has been—the man who strikes him, the king enriches him with great riches, and he gives his daughter to him, and makes his father’s house free in Israel.”
| فَقَالَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَرَأَيْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلصَّاعِدَ؟ لِيُعَيِّرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ صَاعِدٍ! فَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتُلُهُ يُغْنِيهِ ٱلْمَلِكُ غِنًى جَزِيلًا، وَيُعْطِيهِ ابِنْتَهُ، وَيَجْعَلُ بَيْتَ أَبِيهِ حُرًّا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٢٥ |
26 And David speaks to the men who are standing by him, saying, “What is done to the man who strikes this Philistine, and has turned aside reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine that he has reproached the ranks of the living God?”
| فَكَلَّمَ دَاوُدُ ٱلرِّجَالَ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ مَعَهُ قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا يُفْعَلُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتُلُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ، وَيُزِيلُ ٱلْعَارَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ ٱلْأَغْلَفُ حَتَّى يُعَيِّرَ صُفُوفَ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ؟» | ٢٦ |
27 And the people speak to him according to this word, saying, “Thus it is done to the man who strikes him.”
| فَكَلَّمَهُ ٱلشَّعْبُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ قَائِلِينَ: «كَذَا يُفْعَلُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتُلُهُ». | ٢٧ |
28 And Eliab, his eldest brother, hears when he speaks to the men, and the anger of Eliab burns against David, and he says, “Why [is] this—[that] you have come down? And to whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I have known your pride, and the evil of your heart—for you have come down to see the battle.”
| وَسَمِعَ أَخُوهُ ٱلْأَكْبَرُ أَلِيآبُ كَلَامَهُ مَعَ ٱلرِّجَالِ، فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ أَلِيآبَ عَلَى دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا نَزَلْتَ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ تَرَكْتَ تِلْكَ ٱلْغُنَيْمَاتِ ٱلْقَلِيلَةَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ؟ أَنَا عَلِمْتُ كِبْرِيَاءَكَ وَشَرَّ قَلْبِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ إِنَّمَا نَزَلْتَ لِكَيْ تَرَى ٱلْحَرْبَ». | ٢٨ |
29 And David says, “What have I done now? Is it not a word?”
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «مَاذَا عَمِلْتُ ٱلْآنَ؟ أَمَا هُوَ كَلَامٌ؟». | ٢٩ |
30 And he turns around from him to another, and says according to this word, and the people return him word as the first word.
| وَتَحَوَّلَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ نَحْوَ آخَرَ، وَتَكَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَرَدَّ لَهُ ٱلشَّعْبُ جَوَابًا كَٱلْجَوَابِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ. | ٣٠ |
31 And the words which David has spoken are heard, and they declare [them] before Saul, and he receives him;
| وَسُمِعَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ دَاوُدُ وَأَخْبَرُوا بِهِ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ، فَٱسْتَحْضَرَهُ. | ٣١ |
32 and David says to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fall because of him, your servant goes, and has fought with this Philistine.”
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لَا يَسْقُطْ قَلْبُ أَحَدٍ بِسَبَبِهِ. عَبْدُكَ يَذْهَبُ وَيُحَارِبُ هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ». | ٣٢ |
33 And Saul says to David, “You are not able to go to this Philistine, to fight with him, for you [are] a youth, and he [has been] a man of war from his youth.”
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ: «لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ لِتُحَارِبَهُ لِأَنَّكَ غُلَامٌ وَهُوَ رَجُلُ حَرْبٍ مُنْذُ صِبَاهُ». | ٣٣ |
34 And David says to Saul, “Your servant has been a shepherd among the sheep for his father, and the lion has come—and the bear—and has taken away a sheep out of the drove,
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «كَانَ عَبْدُكَ يَرْعَى لِأَبِيهِ غَنَمًا، فَجَاءَ أَسَدٌ مَعَ دُبٍّ وَأَخَذَ شَاةً مِنَ ٱلْقَطِيعِ، | ٣٤ |
35 and I have gone out after him, and struck him, and delivered [it] out of his mouth, and he rises against me, and I have taken hold on his beard, and struck him, and put him to death.
| فَخَرَجْتُ وَرَاءَهُ وَقَتَلْتُهُ وَأَنْقَذْتُهَا مِنْ فِيهِ، وَلَمَّا قَامَ عَلَيَّ أَمْسَكْتُهُ مِنْ ذَقْنِهِ وَضَرَبْتُهُ فَقَتَلْتُهُ. | ٣٥ |
36 Your servant has struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine has been as one of them, for he has reproached the ranks of the living God.”
| قَتَلَ عَبْدُكَ ٱلْأَسَدَ وَٱلدُّبَّ جَمِيعًا. وَهَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ ٱلْأَغْلَفُ يَكُونُ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ عَيَّرَ صُفُوفَ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ». | ٣٦ |
37 And David says, “YHWH, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He delivers me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul says to David, “Go, and YHWH is with you.”
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْأَسَدِ وَمِنْ يَدِ ٱلدُّبِّ هُوَ يُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ يَدِ هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ». فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَلْيَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكَ». | ٣٧ |
38 And Saul clothes David with his long robe, and has put a helmet of bronze on his head, and clothes him with a coat of mail.
| وَأَلْبَسَ شَاوُلُ دَاوُدَ ثِيَابَهُ، وَجَعَلَ خُوذَةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَأَلْبَسَهُ دِرْعًا. | ٣٨ |
39 And David girded his sword above his long robe, and begins to go, for he has not tried [it]; and David says to Saul, “I am not able to go with these, for I had not tried”; and David turns them aside from off him.
| فَتَقَلَّدَ دَاوُدُ بِسَيْفِهِ فَوْقَ ثِيَابِهِ وَعَزَمَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ جَرَّبَ. فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَمْشِيَ بِهَذِهِ، لِأَنِّي لَمْ أُجَرِّبْهَا». وَنَزَعَهَا دَاوُدُ عَنْهُ. | ٣٩ |
40 And he takes his staff in his hand, and chooses five smooth stones for himself from the brook, and puts them in the shepherds’ vessel that he has, even in the leather pouch, and his sling [is] in his hand, and he draws near to the Philistine.
| وَأَخَذَ عَصَاهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَٱنْتَخَبَ لَهُ خَمْسَةَ حِجَارَةٍ مُلْسٍ مِنَ ٱلْوَادِي وَجَعَلَهَا فِي كِنْفِ ٱلرُّعَاةِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ، أَيْ فِي ٱلْجِرَابِ، وَمِقْلَاعَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَتَقَدَّمَ نَحْوَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ. | ٤٠ |
41 And the Philistine goes on, going and drawing near to David, and the man carrying the buckler [is] before him,
| وَذَهَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ ذِاهِبًا وَٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَٱلْرَّجُلُ حَامِلُ ٱلتُّرْسِ أَمَامَهُ. | ٤١ |
42 and the Philistine looks attentively, and sees David, and despises him, for he was a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.
| وَلَمَّا نَظَرَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ وَرَأَى دَاوُدَ ٱسْتَحْقَرَهُ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ غُلَامًا وَأَشْقَرَ جَمِيلَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ. | ٤٢ |
43 And the Philistine says to David, “Am I a dog that you are coming to me with sticks?” And the Philistine reviles David by his gods,
| فَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَلَعَلِّي أَنَا كَلْبٌ حَتَّى أَنَّكَ تَأْتِي إِلَيَّ بِعِصِيٍّ؟». وَلَعَنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ دَاوُدَ بِآلِهَتِهِ. | ٤٣ |
44 and the Philistine says to David, “Come to me, and I give your flesh to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the field.”
| وَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ لِدَاوُدَ: «تَعَالَ إِلَيَّ فَأُعْطِيَ لَحْمَكَ لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ». | ٤٤ |
45 And David says to the Philistine, “You are coming to me with sword, and with spear, and with buckler, and I am coming to you in the Name of YHWH of Hosts, God of the ranks of Israel, which you have reproached!
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ: «أَنْتَ تَأْتِي إِلَيَّ بِسَيْفٍ وَبِرُمْحٍ وَبِتُرْسٍ، وَأَنَا آتِي إِلَيْكَ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهِ صُفُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَيَّرْتَهُمْ. | ٤٥ |
46 This day YHWH shuts you up into my hand—and I have struck you, and turned aside your head from off you, and given the carcass of the camp of the Philistines this day to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and all the earth knows that God is for Israel!
| هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ يَحْبِسُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي يَدِي، فَأَقْتُلُكَ وَأَقْطَعُ رَأْسَكَ. وَأُعْطِي جُثَثَ جَيْشِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَتَعْلَمُ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ إِلَهٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤٦ |
47 And all this assembly knows that YHWH does not save by sword and by spear, for the battle [is] YHWH’s, and He has given you into our hand.”
| وَتَعْلَمُ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ كُلُّهَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِسَيْفٍ وَلَا بِرُمْحٍ يُخَلِّصُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْحَرْبَ لِلرَّبِّ وَهُوَ يَدْفَعُكُمْ لِيَدِنَا». | ٤٧ |
48 And it has come to pass, that the Philistine has risen, and goes, and draws near to meet David, and David hurries and runs to the rank to meet the Philistine,
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا قَامَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ وَذَهَبَ وَتَقدَّمَ لِلِقَاءِ دَاودَ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ أَسْرَعَ وَرَكَضَ نَحْوَ ٱلصَّفِّ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ. | ٤٨ |
49 and David puts forth his hand into the vessel, and takes a stone from there, and slings, and strikes the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sinks into his forehead, and he falls on his face to the earth.
| وَمَدَّ دَاوُدُ يَدَهُ إِلَى ٱلْكِنْفِ وَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ حَجَرًا وَرَمَاهُ بِٱلْمِقْلَاعِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ فِي جِبْهَتِهِ، فَٱرْتَزَّ ٱلْحَجَرُ فِي جِبْهَتِهِ، وَسَقَطَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٤٩ |
50 And David is stronger than the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and strikes the Philistine, and puts him to death, and there is no sword in the hand of David,
| فَتَمَكَّنَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ بِٱلْمِقْلَاعِ وَٱلْحَجَرِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ وَقَتَلَهُ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ سَيْفٌ بِيَدِ دَاوُدَ. | ٥٠ |
51 and David runs and stands over the Philistine, and takes his sword, and draws it out of its sheath, and puts him to death, and cuts off his head with it; and the Philistines see that their hero [is] dead, and flee.
| فَرَكَضَ دَاوُدُ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ وَأَخَذَ سَيْفَهُ وَٱخْتَرَطَهُ مِنْ غِمْدِهِ وَقَتَلَهُ وَقَطَعَ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ. فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّ جَبَّارَهُمْ قَدْ مَاتَ هَرَبُوا. | ٥١ |
52 And the men of Israel rise—also Judah—and shout, and pursue the Philistines until you enter the valley, and to the gates of Ekron, and the wounded of the Philistines fall in the way of Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron,
| فَقَامَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا وَهَتَفُوا وَلَحِقُوا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ حَتَّى مَجِيئِكَ إِلَى ٱلْوَادِي، وَحَتَّى أَبْوَابِ عَقْرُونَ. فَسَقَطَتْ قَتْلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فِي طَرِيقِ شَعَرَايِمَ إِلَى جَتَّ وَإِلَى عَقْرُونَ. | ٥٢ |
53 and the sons of Israel return from burning after the Philistines, and spoil their camps.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ ٱلِٱحْتِمَاءِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَنَهَبُوا مَحَلَّتَهُمْ. | ٥٣ |
54 And David takes the head of the Philistine, and brings it to Jerusalem, and he has put his weapons in his own tent.
| وَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ رَأْسَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ وَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَوَضَعَ أَدَوَاتِهِ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ. | ٥٤ |
55 And when Saul sees David going out to meet the Philistine, he has said to Abner, head of the host, “Whose son [is] this—the youth, Abner?” And Abner says, “Your soul lives, O king, I have not known.”
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى شَاوُلُ دَاوُدَ خَارِجًا لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ قَالَ لِأَبْنَيْرَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْجَيْشِ: «ٱبْنُ مَنْ هَذَا ٱلْغُلَامُ يَا أَبْنَيْرُ؟» فَقَالَ أَبْنَيْرُ: «وَحَيَاتِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ». | ٥٥ |
56 And the king says, “Ask whose son this [is]—the young man.”
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «ٱسْأَلِ ٱبْنُ مَنْ هَذَا ٱلْغُلَامُ». | ٥٦ |
57 And when David turns back from striking the Philistine, then Abner takes him and brings him in before Saul, and the head of the Philistine [is] in his hand;
| وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ قَتْلِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ أَخَذَهُ أَبْنَيْرُ وَأَحْضَرَهُ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ وَرَأْسُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ بِيَدِهِ. | ٥٧ |
58 and Saul says to him, “Whose son [are] you, O youth?” And David says, “Son of your servant Jesse, the Beth-Lehemite.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ شَاوُلُ: «ٱبْنُ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا غُلَامُ؟» فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «ٱبْنُ عَبْدِكَ يَسَّى ٱلْبَيْتَلَحْمِيِّ». | ٥٨ |
