1 Samuel 19
1 And Saul speaks to his son Jonathan, and to all his servants, to put David to death,
| وَحَضَّ شَاوُلُ ابْنَهُ يُونَاثَانَ وَسَائِرَ حَاشِيَتِهِ عَلَى قَتْلِ دَاوُدَ، | ١ |
2 and Jonathan son of Saul delighted in David exceedingly, and Jonathan declares [it] to David, saying, “My father Saul is seeking to put you to death, and now, please take heed in the morning, and you have abided in a secret place and been hidden,
| وَلَكِنَّ يُونَاثَانَ بْنَ شَاوُلَ، الَّذِي كَانَ مُعْجَباً جِدّاً بِدَاوُدَ، أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: «أَبِي يَلْتَمِسُ قَتْلَكَ، فَاحْتَرِسْ لِنَفْسِكَ فِي الْغَدِ وَاخْتَبِئْ، | ٢ |
3 and I go out, and have stood by the side of my father in the field where you [are], and I speak of you to my father, and have seen what [is coming], and have declared [it] to you.”
| وَأَنَا أَخْرُجُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى الْحَقْلِ الَّذِي تَخْتَبِئُ فِيهِ، وَأُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْكَ ثُمَّ أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَا يَكُونُ». | ٣ |
4 And Jonathan speaks good of David to his father Saul and says to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works [are] very good for you;
| وَرَاحَ يُونَاثَانُ يُثْنِي عَلَى دَاوُدَ أَمَامَ أَبِيهِ وَتَسَاءَلَ: «لِمَاذَا يُسِيءُ الْمَلِكُ إِلَى عَبْدِهِ دَاوُدَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ إِلَيْكَ، وَمَآثِرُهُ عَظِيمَةٌ جِدّاً؟ | ٤ |
5 indeed, he puts his life in his hand, and strikes the Philistine, and YHWH works a great salvation for all Israel; you have seen, and rejoice, and why do you sin against innocent blood, to put David to death for nothing?”
| لَقَدْ عَرَّضَ حَيَاتَهُ لِلْخَطَرِ عِنْدَمَا قَتَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ، فَأَجْرَى الرَّبُّ خَلاصاً عَظِيماً لِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَقَدْ شَهِدْتَ ذَلِكَ وَابْتَهَجْتَ بِهِ. فَلِمَاذَا تَقْتُلُ دَاوُدَ مِنْ غَيْرِ دَاعٍ وَتُسِيءُ إِلَى دَمٍ بَرِيءٍ؟» | ٥ |
6 And Saul listens to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swears, “YHWH lives—he does not die.”
| فَاقْتَنَعَ شَاوُلُ بِكَلامِ يُونَاثَانَ، وَقَالَ: «أُقْسِمُ بِاللهِ الْحَيِّ، لَنْ يُقْتَلَ دَاوُدُ». | ٦ |
7 And Jonathan calls for David, and Jonathan declares all these words to him, and Jonathan brings in David to Saul, and he is before him as before.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى يُونَاثَانُ دَاوُدَ وَأَطْلَعَهُ عَلَى مَا دَارَ مِنْ حَدِيثٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى شَاوُلَ، فَمَثُلَ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ كَمَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ مِنْ قَبْلُ. | ٧ |
8 And there adds to be war, and David goes out and fights against the Philistines, and strikes among them [with] a great striking, and they flee from his face.
| وَعَادَتِ الْحَرْبُ تَنْشَبُ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ، فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَهَزَمَهُمْ هَزِيمَةً مُنْكَرَةً، فَلاذُوا بِالْفِرَارِ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ. | ٨ |
9 And a spirit of sadness [from] YHWH is to Saul, and he is sitting in his house, and his javelin [is] in his hand, and David is playing with the hand,
| وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ كَانَ دَاوُدُ يَعْزِفُ لِشَاوُلَ، فَهَاجَمَ الرُّوحُ الرَّدِيءُ شَاوُلَ مِنْ لَدَى الرَّبِّ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَرُمْحُهُ بِيَدِهِ. | ٩ |
10 and Saul seeks to strike with the javelin through David, and through the wall, and he frees himself from the presence of Saul, and he strikes the javelin through the wall; and David has fled and escapes during that night.
| فَصَوَّبَ الرُّمْحَ نَحْوَ دَاوُدَ وَرَمَاهُ بِهِ لِيَطْعَنَهُ وَيُسَمِّرَهُ إِلَى الْحَائِطِ، فَتَفَادَى دَاوُدُ الضَّرْبَةَ، وَهَرَبَ مِنْ أَمَامِ شَاوُلَ نَاجِياً بِحَيَاتِهِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ، أَمَّا الرُّمْحُ فَغَاصَ فِي الْحَائِطِ. | ١٠ |
11 And Saul sends messengers to the house of David to watch him, and to put him to death in the morning; and his wife Michal declares [it] to David, saying, “If you are not delivering your life tonight—tomorrow you are put to death.”
| فَأَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ مُرَاقِبِينَ إِلَى بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ يَتَرَصَّدُونَهُ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ. فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ مِيكَالُ قَائِلَةً: «إِذَا لَمْ تَنْجُ بِنَفْسِكَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ فَإِنَّكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ تُقْتَلُ غَداً». | ١١ |
12 And Michal causes David to go down through the window, and he goes on, and flees, and escapes;
| وَدَلَّتْهُ مِيكَالُ مِنَ النَّافِذَةِ، فَانْطَلَقَ هَارِباً وَنَجَا. | ١٢ |
13 and Michal takes the teraphim, and lays [it] on the bed, and she has put the mattress of goats’ [hair for] his pillows, and covers [it] with a garment.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَتْ مِيكَالُ تِمْثَالاً وَوَضَعَتْهُ فِي فِرَاشِهِ، وَوَضَعَتْ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ لُبْدَةً مِنْ شَعْرِ الْمِعْزَى وَغَطَّتْهُ بِثَوْبٍ. | ١٣ |
14 And Saul sends messengers to take David, and she says, “He [is] sick.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ جُنُودَهُ لِلْقَبْضِ عَلَى دَاوُدَ قَالَتْ لَهُمْ مِيكَالُ: «إِنَّهُ مَرِيضٌ». | ١٤ |
15 And Saul sends the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up in the bed to me in order to put him to death.”
| فَبَعَثَ شَاوُلُ الْجُنُودَ ثَانِيَةً لِيَرَوْا دَاوُدَ قَائِلاً: «ائْتُونِي بِهِ وَهُوَ فِي السَّرِيرِ لأَقْتُلَهُ». | ١٥ |
16 And the messengers come in, and behold, the teraphim [are] on the bed, and the mattress of goats’ [hair for] his pillows.
| فَأَقْبَلَ الْجُنُودُ، وَإذَا فِي الْفِرَاشِ تِمْثَالٌ وَلُبْدَةٌ مِنْ شَعْرِ الْمِعْزَى تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ. | ١٦ |
17 And Saul says to Michal, “Why have you thus deceived me—that you send my enemy away, and he escapes?” And Michal says to Saul, “He said to me, Send me away. Why do I put you to death?”
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لاِبْنَتِهِ مِيكَالَ: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتِنِي فَأَطْلَقْتِ عَدُوِّي حَتَّى نَجَا؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «لَقَدْ تَوَعَّدَنِي قَائِلاً: أَطْلِقِينِي لِئَلّا أَقْتُلَكِ». | ١٧ |
18 And David has fled, and escapes, and comes to Samuel at Ramath, and declares to him all that Saul has done to him, and he goes, he and Samuel, and they dwell in Naioth.
| وَعِنْدَمَا هَرَبَ دَاوُدُ وَنَجَا بِحَيَاتِهِ جَاءَ إِلَى صَمُوئِيلَ فِي الرَّامَةِ وَأَطْلَعَهُ عَمَّا فَعَلَهُ بِهِ شَاوُلُ، وَصَحَبَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ وَمَضَيَا وَأَقَامَا مَعاً فِي نَايُوتَ. | ١٨ |
19 And it is declared to Saul, saying, “Behold, David [is] in Naioth in Ramah.”
| فَقِيلَ لِشَاوُلَ: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ فِي نَايُوتَ فِي الرَّامَةِ». | ١٩ |
20 And Saul sends messengers to take David, and they see the assembly of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing, set over them, and the Spirit of God is on Saul’s messengers, and they prophesy—they also.
| فَبَعَثَ بِجُنُودٍ لِلْقَبْضِ عَلَيْهِ. وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا شَاهَدُوا جَمَاعَةَ الرَّبِّ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِرِئَاسَةِ صَمُوئِيلَ، حَلَّ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الْجُنُودِ فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً. | ٢٠ |
21 And they declare [it] to Saul, and he sends other messengers, and they prophesy—they also; and Saul adds and sends messengers a third time, and they prophesy—they also.
| فَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ بِالأَمْرِ، فَبَعَثَ بِجُنُودٍ آخَرِينَ فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً. ثُمَّ عَادَ شَاوُلُ فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْقَةً ثَالِثَةً فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً. | ٢١ |
22 And he goes—he also—to Ramath, and comes to the great well which [is] in Sechu, and asks and says, “Where [are] Samuel and David?” And [one] says, “Behold, in Naioth in Ramah.”
| وَأَخِيراً ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ إِلَى الرَّامَةِ، حَتَّى وَصَلَ إِلَى الْبِئْرِ الْعَظِيمَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ سِيخُو وَسَأَلَ: «أَيْنَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَدَاوُدُ؟» فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُمَا فِي نَايُوتَ فِي الرَّامَةِ». | ٢٢ |
23 And he goes there—to Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God is on him also; and he goes, going on, and he prophesies until his coming to Naioth in Ramah,
| فَمَضَى إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَلَكِنْ فِي أَثْنَاءِ الطَّرِيقِ حَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ، فَشَرَعَ يَتَنَبَّأُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ نَايُوتَ فِي الرَّامَةِ. | ٢٣ |
24 and he strips off—he also—his garments, and prophesies—he also—before Samuel, and falls down naked all that day and all the night; therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
| فَخَلَعَ هُوَ أَيْضاً ثِيَابَهُ وَرَاحَ يَتَنَبَّأُ أَمَامَ صَمُوئِيلَ، ثُمَّ انْطَرَحَ عَارِياً طُولَ ذَلِكَ النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ، لِذَلِكَ قِيلَ: «أَشَاوُلُ أَيْضاً بَيْنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ؟». | ٢٤ |
