1 Samuel 2

1 And she said, "My heart rejoices in Jehovah. My strength rises up in my God. My mouth boasts over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.

١ فَصَلَّتْ حَنَّةُ وَقَالَتْ: «فَرِحَ قَلْبِي بِٱلرَّبِّ. ٱرْتَفَعَ قَرْنِي بِٱلرَّبِّ. ٱتَّسَعَ فَمِي عَلَى أَعْدَائِي، لِأَنِّي قَدِ ٱبْتَهَجْتُ بِخَلَاصِكَ.

2 Truly, there is no one as holy as Jehovah. Truly, there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.

٢ لَيْسَ قُدُّوسٌ مِثْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ غَيْرَكَ، وَلَيْسَ صَخْرَةٌ مِثْلَ إِلَهِنَا.

3 Do not speak boastfully or let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.

٣ لَا تُكَثِّرُوا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلْعَالِيَ ٱلْمُسْتَعْلِيَ، وَلْتَبْرَحْ وَقَاحَةٌ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمْ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهٌ عَلِيمٌ، وَبِهِ تُوزَنُ ٱلْأَعْمَالُ.

4 The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.

٤ قِسِيُّ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ تحَطَّمَتْ، وَٱلضُّعَفَاءُ تَمَنْطَقُوا بِٱلْبَأْسِ.

5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children languishes.

٥ ٱلشَّبَاعَى آجَرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ بِٱلْخُبْزِ، وَٱلْجِيَاعُ كَفُّوا. حَتَّى أَنَّ ٱلْعَاقِرَ وَلَدَتْ سَبْعَةً، وَكَثِيرَةَ ٱلْبَنِينَ ذَبُلَتْ.

6 Jehovah kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)

٦ ٱلرَّبُّ يُمِيتُ وَيُحْيِي. يُهْبِطُ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَيُصْعِدُ. (Sheol h7585)

7 Jehovah makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.

٧ ٱلرَّبُّ يُفْقِرُ وَيُغْنِي. يَضَعُ وَيَرْفَعُ.

8 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's. He has set the world on them.

٨ يُقِيمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ مِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ. يَرْفَعُ ٱلْفَقِيرَ مِنَ ٱلْمَزْبَلَةِ لِلْجُلُوسِ مَعَ ٱلشُّرَفَاءِ وَيُمَلِّكُهُمْ كُرْسِيَّ ٱلْمَجْدِ. لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ أَعْمِدَةَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَقَدْ وَضَعَ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ.

9 He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness. For no man will prevail by strength.

٩ أَرْجُلَ أَتْقِيَائِهِ يَحْرُسُ، وَٱلْأَشْرَارُ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ يَصْمُتُونَ. لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِٱلْقُوَّةِ يَغْلِبُ إِنْسَانٌ.

10 Those who strive with Jehovah will be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. "Jehovah will judge the farthest parts of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."

١٠ مُخَاصِمُو ٱلرَّبِّ يَنْكَسِرُونَ. مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ يُرْعِدُ عَلَيْهِمْ. ٱلرَّبُّ يَدِينُ أَقَاصِيَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيُعْطِي عِزًّا لِمَلِكِهِ، وَيَرْفَعُ قَرْنَ مَسِيحِهِ».

11 And she went to Ramah, while the child served Jehovah before Eli the priest.

١١ وَذَهَبَ أَلْقَانَةُ إِلَى ٱلرَّامَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَكَانَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ يَخْدِمُ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامَ عَالِي ٱلْكَاهِنِ.

12 Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know Jehovah.

١٢ وَكَانَ بَنُو عَالِي بَنِي بَلِيَّعَالَ، لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا ٱلرَّبَّ

13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;

١٣ وَلَا حَقَّ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ. كُلَّمَا ذَبَحَ رَجُلٌ ذَبِيحَةً يَجِيءُ غُلَامُ ٱلْكَاهِنِ عِنْدَ طَبْخِ ٱللَّحْمِ، وَمِنْشَالٌ ذُو ثَلَاثَةِ أَسْنَانٍ بِيَدِهِ،

14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

١٤ فَيَضْرِبُ فِي ٱلْمِرْحَضَةِ أَوِ ٱلْمِرْجَلِ أَوِ ٱلْمِقْلَى أَوِ ٱلْقِدْرِ. كُلُّ مَا يَصْعَدُ بِهِ ٱلْمِنْشَلُ يَأْخُذُهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ لِنَفْسِهِ. هَكَذَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ بِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْآتِينَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ فِي شِيلُوهَ.

15 Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."

١٥ كَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ مَا يُحْرِقُونَ ٱلشَّحْمَ يَأْتِي غُلَامُ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَيَقُولُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلذَّابِحِ: «أَعْطِ لَحْمًا لِيُشْوَى لِلْكَاهِنِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَأْخُذُ مِنْكَ لَحْمًا مَطْبُوخًا بَلْ نَيْئًا».

16 If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned first, and then take all of it which your soul desires"; then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."

١٦ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ ٱلرَّجُلُ: «لِيُحْرِقُوا أَوَّلًا ٱلشَّحْمَ، ثُمَّ خُذْ مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ نَفْسُكَ». فَيَقُولُ لَهُ: «لَا، بَلِ ٱلْآنَ تُعْطِي وَإِلَّا فَآخُذُ غَصْبًا».

17 The sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah; for they despised the offering of Jehovah.

١٧ فَكَانَتْ خَطِيَّةُ ٱلْغِلْمَانِ عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ ٱسْتَهَانُوا بِتَقْدِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

18 But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.

١٨ وَكَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ يَخْدِمُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَهُوَ صَبِيٌّ مُتَمَنْطِقٌ بِأَفُودٍ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ.

19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

١٩ وَعَمِلَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ جُبَّةً صَغِيرَةً وَأَصْعَدَتْهَا لَهُ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ عِنْدَ صُعُودِهَا مَعَ رَجُلِهَا لِذَبْحِ ٱلذَّبِيحَةِ ٱلسَّنَوِيَّةِ.

20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and said, "May Jehovah repay you with offspring by this woman for the gift which she made to Jehovah." And the man returned to his home.

٢٠ وَبَارَكَ عَالِي أَلْقَانَةَ وَٱمْرَأَتَهُ وَقَالَ: «يَجْعَلْ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ نَسْلًا مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ بَدَلَ ٱلْعَارِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعَارَتْ لِلرَّبِّ». وَذَهَبَا إِلَى مَكَانِهِمَا.

21 Jehovah visited Hannah, and she bore more children, three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before Jehovah.

٢١ وَلَمَّا ٱفْتَقَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ حَنَّةَ حَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ ثَلَاثَةَ بَنِينَ وَبِنْتَيْنِ. وَكَبُرَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ صَمُوئِيلُ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel (and how that they lay with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting).

٢٢ وَشَاخَ عَالِي جِدًّا، وَسَمِعَ بِكُلِّ مَا عَمِلَهُ بَنُوهُ بِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُضَاجِعُونَ ٱلنِّسَاءَ ٱلْمُجْتَمِعَاتِ فِي بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

23 And he said to them, "Why do you do such things as these that I hear being said of you from the mouth of the people of Jehovah?

٢٣ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تَعْمَلُونَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ؟ لِأَنِّي أَسْمَعُ بِأُمُورِكُمُ ٱلْخَبِيثَةِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ.

24 No, my sons, do not do this. For it is not a good report that I hear the people of Jehovah spreading.

٢٤ لَا يَابَنِيَّ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ حَسَنًا ٱلْخَبَرُ ٱلَّذِي أَسْمَعُ. تَجْعَلُونَ شَعْبَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَتَعَدُّونَ.

25 If a man sins gravely against another, he can appeal to Jehovah; but if a man sins against Jehovah, who can intercede for him?" But, they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Jehovah intended to kill them.

٢٥ إِذَا أَخْطَأَ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَى إِنْسَانٍ يَدِينُهُ ٱللهُ. فَإِنْ أَخْطَأَ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَمَنْ يُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ؟» وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ أَبِيهِمْ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ شَاءَ أَنْ يُمِيتَهُمْ.

26 The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.

٢٦ وَأَمَّا ٱلصَّبِيُّ صَمُوئِيلُ فَتَزَايَدَ نُمُوًّا وَصَلَاحًا لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَيْضًا.

27 A man of God came to Eli, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, I plainly revealed myself to the house of your father, when they were slaves in Egypt to the house of Pharaoh.

٢٧ وَجَاءَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ إِلَى عَالِي وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ تَجَلَّيْتُ لِبَيْتِ أَبِيكَ وَهُمْ فِي مِصْرَ فِي بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ،

28 And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel as food.

٢٨ وَٱنْتَخَبْتُهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِي كَاهِنًا لِيَصْعَدَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِي وَيُوقِدَ بَخُورًا وَيَلْبَسَ أَفُودًا أَمَامِي، وَدَفَعْتُ لِبَيْتِ أَبِيكَ جَمِيعَ وَقَائِدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

29 Then why do you look at my sacrifice and my offering with a selfish eye, and honor your sons more than me in letting them eat from the first part of every offering of Israel before me?'

٢٩ فَلِمَاذَا تَدُوسُونَ ذَبِيحَتِي وَتَقْدِمَتِي ٱلَّتِي أَمَرْتُ بِهَا فِي ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، وَتُكْرِمُ بَنِيكَ عَلَيَّ لِكَيْ تُسَمِّنُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِأَوَائِلِ كُلِّ تَقْدِمَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبِي؟

30 "Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, says, 'I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.' But now Jehovah says, 'Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

٣٠ لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنِّي قُلْتُ إِنَّ بَيْتَكَ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكَ يَسِيرُونَ أَمَامِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. وَٱلْآنَ يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: حَاشَا لِي! فَإِنِّي أُكْرِمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُكْرِمُونَنِي، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَحْتَقِرُونَنِي يَصْغُرُونَ.

31 Look, the days come, that I will cut off your descendants, and the descendants of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.

٣١ هُوَذَا تَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ أَقْطَعُ فِيهَا ذِرَاعَكَ وَذِرَاعَ بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ شَيْخٌ فِي بَيْتِكَ.

32 And you will see distress in the dwelling place, in all that he does good with Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house all the days.

٣٢ وَتَرَى ضِيقَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ فِي كُلِّ مَا يُحْسَنُ بِهِ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَا يَكُونُ شَيْخٌ فِي بَيْتِكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

33 And the man of yours I do not cut off from my altar will be to cause his eyes to fail and to grieve his soul, and all the increase of your house will die by the sword of men.

٣٣ وَرَجُلٌ لَكَ لَا أَقْطَعُهُ مِنْ أَمَامِ مَذْبَحِي يَكُونُ لِإِكْلَالِ عَيْنَيْكَ وَتَذْوِيبِ نَفْسِكَ. وَجَمِيعُ ذُرِّيَّةِ بَيْتِكَ يَمُوتُونَ شُبَّانًا.

34 "'This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both die.

٣٤ وَهَذِهِ لَكَ عَلَامَةٌ تَأْتِي عَلَى ٱبْنَيْكَ حُفْنِي وَفِينَحَاسَ: فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ يَمُوتَانِ كِلَاهُمَا.

35 I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed forever.

٣٥ وَأُقِيمُ لِنَفْسِي كَاهِنًا أَمِينًا يَعْمَلُ حَسَبَ مَا بِقَلْبِي وَنَفْسِي، وَأَبْنِي لَهُ بَيْتًا أَمِينًا فَيَسِيرُ أَمَامَ مَسِيحِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

36 It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, "Please put me into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread."'"

٣٦ وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَبْقَى فِي بَيْتِكَ يَأْتِي لِيَسْجُدَ لَهُ لِأَجْلِ قِطْعَةِ فِضَّةٍ وَرَغِيفِ خُبْزٍ، وَيَقُولُ: ضُمَّنِي إِلَى إِحْدَى وَظَائِفِ ٱلْكَهَنُوتِ لِآكُلَ كِسْرَةَ خُبْزٍ».
