1 Samuel 24
1 It happened, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, "Look, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi."
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ رَجَعَ شَاوُلُ مِنْ مُطَارَدَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قِيلَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ دَاوُدَ مُتَحَصِّنٌ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ عَيْنِ جَدْيٍ» | ١ |
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.
| فَحَشَدَ ثَلاثَةَ آلافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ خِيرَةِ قُوَّاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَسَعَى وَرَاءَ دَاوُدَ وَرِجَالِهِ فِي صُخُورِ الْوُعُولِ. | ٢ |
3 He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave.
| وَدَخَلَ شَاوُلُ كَهْفاً عِنْدَ حَظِيرَةِ غَنَمٍ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ لِيَقْضِيَ حَاجَتَهُ، وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ مُخْتَبِئِينَ فِي أَغْوَارِ الْكَهْفِ. | ٣ |
4 The men of David said to him, "Look, the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Look, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'" Then David arose, and cut off an edge of Saul's robe secretly.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ رِجَالُهُ: «هَذَا هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي وَعَدَكَ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ فِيهِ عَدُوَّكَ إِلَيْكَ فَتَصْنَعُ بِهِ مَا تَشَاءُ». فَانْسَلَّ دَاوُدُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَطَعَ طَرَفَ جُبَّتِهِ سِرّاً. | ٤ |
5 It happened afterward, that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off an edge of Saul's robe.
| وَلَكِنْ مَا لَبِثَ قَلْبُهُ أَنْ وَبَّخَهُ عَلَى قَطْعِهِ طَرَفَ جُبَّةِ شَاوُلَ. | ٥ |
6 He said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD's anointed, to put forth my hand against him, since he is the LORD's anointed."
| فَقَالَ لِرِجَالِهِ: «مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ هَذَا الإِثْمَ بِحَقِّ سَيِّدِي الْمُخْتَارِ مِنَ الرَّبِّ فَأَمُدَّ يَدِي وَأُسِيءَ إِلَيْهِ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ مَسَحَهُ مَلِكاً». | ٦ |
7 So David persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. Then Saul got up, and went down the road.
| وَهَكَذَا زَجَرَ دَاوُدُ رِجَالَهُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلامِ، وَلَمْ يَدَعْهُمْ يُهَاجِمُونَ شَاوُلَ. وَمَا لَبِثَ شَاوُلُ أَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْكَهْفِ وَمَضَى فِي سَبِيلِهِ، | ٧ |
8 Afterward David also got up and left the cave, and called out after Saul, saying, "My lord the king." When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.
| فَتَبِعَهُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْكَهْفِ وَنَادَى: «يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ». فَالْتَفَتَ شَاوُلُ خَلْفَهُ، فَانْحَنَى دَاوُدُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ سَاجِداً | ٨ |
9 David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to men's words, saying, 'Look, David seeks your harm?'
| وَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى أَقَاوِيلِ النَّاسِ: إِنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدْ وَطَّدَ الْعَزْمَ عَلَى إِيْذَائِكَ. | ٩ |
10 Look, this day your eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave, but I refused to kill you, and my eye spared you; and I said, 'I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.'
| هَا أَنْتَ قَدْ رَأَيْتَ الْيَوْمَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ كَيْفَ أَوْقَعَكَ الرَّبُّ فِي قَبْضَتِي عِنْدَمَا كُنْتَ فِي الْكَهْفِ، وَجَاءَ مَنْ يُحَرِّضُنِي عَلَى قَتْلِكَ، وَلَكِنِّي أَشْفَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَقُلْتُ: لا! لَنْ أَمُدَّ يَدِي بِالإِسَاءَةِ إِلَى سَيِّدِي، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ. | ١٠ |
11 Now look, the skirt of your robe in my hand. When I cut off the skirt, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.
| فَانْظُرْ يَا أَبِي مَا بِيَدِي، إِنَّهُ طَرَفُ جُبَّتِكَ. إِنَّ قَطْعِي طَرَفَ جُبَّتِكَ وَعَدَمَ قَتْلِي إِيَّاكَ خَيْرُ دَلِيلٍ عَلَى أَنَّنِي لَمْ أَرْتَكِبْ شَرّاً أَوْ ذَنْباً، وَلَمْ أُخْطِئْ إِلَيْكَ، بَيْنَمَا أَنْتَ تَتَرَبَّصُ بِي لِتَقْتُلَنِي. | ١١ |
12 May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand shall not be on you.
| فَلْيَقْضِ الرَّبُّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ وَيَنْتَقِمْ لِيَ الرَّبُّ مِنْكَ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَنْ أَمَسَّكَ بِسُوءٍ. | ١٢ |
13 As the proverb of the ancients says, 'Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness;' but my hand shall not be on you.
| وَكَمَا قِيلَ فِي مَثَلِ الْقُدَمَاءِ: عَنِ الأَشْرَارِ يَصْدُرُ شَرٌّ، لِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ يَدِي لَنْ تَنَالَكَ بأَذىً. | ١٣ |
14 Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, or one flea?
| ثُمَّ وَرَاءَ مَنْ يَسْعَى مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ مَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي تُطَارِدُهُ؟ أَتَسْعَى وَرَاءَ كَلْبٍ مَيْتٍ؟ وَرَاءَ بُرْغُوثٍ وَاحِدٍ؟ | ١٤ |
15 May the LORD therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you. May he see and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand."
| لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ هُوَ الدَّيَّانُ فَيَقْضِيَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ وَيَتَوَلَّى قَضِيَّتِي وَيُبْرِئَنِي وَيُنْقِذَنِي مِنْ قَبْضَتِكَ». | ١٥ |
16 It came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
| فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ الْكَلامِ تَسَاءَلَ شَاوُلُ: «أَهَذَا صَوْتُكَ يَا ابْنِي دَاوُدُ؟» وَارْتَفَعَ صَوْتُ شَاوُلَ بِالْبُكَاءِ. | ١٦ |
17 He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لِدَاوُدَ: «إِنَّكَ حَقّاً أَبَرُّ مِنِّي لأَنَّكَ كَافَأْتَنِي خَيْراً وَأَنَا جَازَيْتُكَ شَرّاً. | ١٧ |
18 And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that the LORD had delivered me up into your hand and you did not kill me.
| وَأَبْدَيْتَ نَحْوِي خَيْراً إِذْ إِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَوْقَعَنِي فِي قَبْضَتِكَ وَلَكِنَّكَ عَفَوْتَ عَنِّي. | ١٨ |
19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may the LORD reward you good for that which you have done this day.
| أَيَعْفُو رَجُلٌ عَنْ عَدُوِّهِ وَيُطْلِقُهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْتَقِمَ مِنْهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَقَعَ فِي قَبْضَتِهِ؟ فَلْيُكَافِئْكَ الرَّبُّ جَزَاءَ مَا صَنَعْتَ الْيَوْمَ مَعِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ. | ١٩ |
20 Now, look, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
| لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ الآنَ أَنَّكَ تُصْبِحُ مَلِكاً وَبِيَدِكَ تَثْبُتُ مَمْلَكَةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٠ |
21 Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house."
| فَاحْلِفْ لِيَ الآنَ بِالرَّبِّ أَنَّكَ لَا تُبِيدُ نَسْلِي مِنْ بَعْدِي وَلا تَقْضِي عَلَى اسْمِي مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي». | ٢١ |
22 David swore to Saul. Saul went home; but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
| فَحَلَفَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ ثُمَّ مَضَى شَاوُلُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، أَمَّا دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ فَالْتَجَأُوا إِلَى الْحِصْنِ. | ٢٢ |
