1 Samuel 24
1 And it comes to pass, when Saul has turned back from after the Philistines, that they declare to him, saying, “Behold, David [is] in the wilderness of En-gedi.”
| وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ شَاوُلُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ عَيْنِ جَدْيٍ». | ١ |
2 And Saul takes three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and goes to seek David and his men, on the front of the rocks of the wild goats,
| فَأَخَذَ شَاوُلُ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ مُنْتَخَبِينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَذَهَبَ يَطْلُبُ دَاوُدَ وَرِجَالَهُ عَلَى صُخُورِ ٱلْوُعُولِ. | ٢ |
3 and he comes to folds of the flock, on the way, and there [is] a cave, and Saul goes in to cover his feet; and David and his men are abiding in the sides of the cave.
| وَجَاءَ إِلَى صِيَرِ ٱلْغَنَمِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ كَهْفٌ فَدَخَلَ شَاوُلُ لِكَيْ يُغَطِّيَ رِجْلَيْهِ، وَدَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ كَانُوا جُلُوسًا فِي مَغَابِنِ ٱلْكَهْفِ. | ٣ |
4 And the men of David say to him, “Behold, the day of which YHWH said to you, Behold, I am giving your enemy into your hand, and you have done to him as it is good in your eyes”; and David rises and cuts off the skirt of the upper robe which [is] on Saul with stealth.
| فَقَالَ رِجَالُ دَاوُدَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَكَ عَنْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَدْفَعُ عَدُوَّكَ لِيَدِكَ فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». فَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَقَطَعَ طَرَفَ جُبَّةِ شَاوُلَ سِرًّا. | ٤ |
5 And it comes to pass afterward that the heart of David strikes him, because that he has cut off the skirt which [is] on Saul,
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ قَلْبَ دَاوُدَ ضَرَبَهُ عَلَى قَطْعِهِ طَرَفَ جُبَّةِ شَاوُلَ، | ٥ |
6 and he says to his men, “Far be it from me, by YHWH; I do not do this thing to my lord—to the anointed of YHWH—to put forth my hand against him, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.”
| فَقَالَ لِرِجَالِهِ: «حَاشَا لِي مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ بِسَيِّدِي، بِمَسِيحِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَمُدَّ يَدِي إِلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّهُ مَسِيحُ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ». | ٦ |
7 And David subdues his men by words, and has not permitted them to rise against Saul; and Saul has risen from the cave, and goes on the way;
| فَوَبَّخَ دَاوُدُ رِجَالَهُ بِٱلْكَلَامِ، وَلَمْ يَدَعْهُمْ يَقُومُونَ عَلَى شَاوُلَ. وَأَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَقَامَ مِنَ ٱلْكَهْفِ وَذَهَبَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ. | ٧ |
8 and David rises afterward, and goes out from the cave, and calls after Saul, saying, “My lord, O king!” And Saul looks attentively behind him, and David bows—face to the earth—and pays respect.
| ثُمَّ قَامَ دَاوُدُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْكَهْفِ وَنَادَى وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ قَائِلًا: «يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ». وَلَمَّا ٱلْتَفَتَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى وَرَائِهِ، خَرَّ دَاوُدُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ. | ٨ |
9 And David says to Saul, “Why do you hear the words of man, saying, Behold, David is seeking your calamity?
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْمَعُ كَلَامَ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلْقَائِلِينَ: هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ يَطْلُبُ أَذِيَّتَكَ؟ | ٩ |
10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how that YHWH has given you into my hand today in the cave; and [one] said to slay you, and [my eye] has pity on you, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.
| هُوَذَا قَدْ رَأَتْ عَيْنَاكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَذَا كَيْفَ دَفَعَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱليَومَ لِيَدِي فِي ٱلْكَهْفِ، وَقِيلَ لِي أَنْ أَقْتُلَكَ، وَلَكِنَّنِي أَشْفَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَقُلْتُ: لَا أَمُدُّ يَدِي إِلَى سَيِّدِي، لِأَنَّهُ مَسِيحُ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ. | ١٠ |
11 And my father, see, indeed see the skirt of your upper robe in my hand; for by cutting off the skirt of your upper robe, and I have not slain you, know and see that there is not evil and transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, and you are hunting my soul to take it!
| فَٱنْظُرْ يَا أَبِي، ٱنْظُرْ أَيْضًا طَرَفَ جُبَّتِكَ بِيَدِي. فَمِنْ قَطْعِي طَرَفَ جُبَّتِكَ وَعَدَمِ قَتْلِي إِيَّاكَ ٱعْلَمْ وَٱنْظُرْ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي يَدِي شَرٌّ وَلَا جُرْمٌ، وَلَمْ أُخْطِئْ إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَصِيدُ نَفْسِي لِتَأْخُذَهَا. | ١١ |
12 YHWH judges between me and you, and YHWH has avenged me of you, and my hand is not on you;
| يَقْضِي ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ وَيَنْتَقِمُ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْكَ، وَلَكِنْ يَدِي لَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ. | ١٢ |
13 as the allegory of the ancients says, Wickedness goes out from the wicked, and my hand is not on you.
| كَمَا يَقُولُ مَثَلُ ٱلْقُدَمَاءِ: مِنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَخْرُجُ شَرٌّ. وَلَكِنْ يَدِي لَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ. | ١٣ |
14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog! After one flea!
| وَرَاءَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ وَرَاءَ مَنْ أَنْتَ مُطَارِدٌ؟ وَرَاءَ كَلْبٍ مَيْتٍ! وَرَاءَ بُرْغُوثٍ وَاحِدٍ! | ١٤ |
15 And YHWH has been for judge, and has judged between me and you, indeed, He sees and pleads my cause, and delivers me out of your hand.”
| فَيَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلدَّيَّانَ وَيَقْضِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَيَرَى وَيُحَاكِمُ مُحَاكَمَتِي، وَيُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ يَدِكَ». | ١٥ |
16 And it comes to pass, when David completes to speak these words to Saul, that Saul says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifts up his voice, and weeps.
| فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَى شَاوُلَ، قَالَ شَاوُلُ: «أَهَذَا صَوْتُكَ يَا ٱبْنِي دَاوُدُ؟» وَرَفَعَ شَاوُلُ صَوْتَهُ وَبَكَى. | ١٦ |
17 And he says to David, “You [are] more righteous than I; for you have done me good, and I have done you evil;
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَنْتَ أَبَرُّ مِنِّي، لِأَنَّكَ جَازَيْتَنِي خَيْرًا وَأَنَا جَازَيْتُكَ شَرًّا. | ١٧ |
18 and you have declared today how that you have done good with me, how that YHWH shut me up into your hand, and you did not slay me,
| وَقَدْ أَظْهَرْتَ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنَّكَ عَمِلْتَ بِي خَيْرًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَنِي بِيَدِكَ وَلَمْ تَقْتُلْنِي. | ١٨ |
19 and that a man finds his enemy, and has sent him away in a good manner; and YHWH repays you good for that which you did to me this day.
| فَإِذَا وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ عَدُوَّهُ، فَهَلْ يُطْلِقُهُ فِي طَرِيقِ خَيْرٍ؟ فَٱلرَّبُّ يُجَازِيكَ خَيْرًا عَمَّا فَعَلْتَهُ لِي ٱلْيَوْمَ هَذَا. | ١٩ |
20 And now, behold, I have known that you certainly reign, and the kingdom of Israel has stood in your hand;
| وَٱلْآنَ فَإِنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَكُونُ مَلِكًا وَتَثْبُتُ بِيَدِكَ مَمْلَكَةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٠ |
21 and now, swear to me by YHWH [that] you do not cut off my seed after me, nor do you destroy my name from the house of my father.”
| فَٱحْلِفْ لِي ٱلْآنَ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِنَّكَ لَا تَقْطَعُ نَسْلِي مِنْ بَعْدِي، وَلَا تُبِيدُ ٱسْمِي مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي». | ٢١ |
22 And David swears to Saul, and Saul goes to his house, and David and his men have gone up to the fortress.
| فَحَلَفَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَأَمَّا دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ فَصَعِدُوا إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ. | ٢٢ |
