1 Samuel 4
1 And Samuel's words came to all Israel. And Eli grew very old, and his sons kept advancing in their wicked behavior before Jehovah. And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together against Israel. And Israel went out to meet them in battle, and camped beside Ebenezer, and the Philistines camped in Aphek.
| وَكَانَ كَلَامُ صَمُوئِيلَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَخَرَجَ إِسْرَائِيلُ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لِلْحَرْبِ، وَنَزَلُوا عِنْدَ حَجَرِ ٱلْمَعُونَةِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فَنَزَلُوا فِي أَفِيقَ. | ١ |
2 The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was struck before the Philistines; and they killed of the army in the field about four thousand men.
| وَٱصْطَفَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِلِقَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱشْتَبَكَتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ فَٱنْكَسَرَ إِسْرَائِيلُ أَمَامَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَضَرَبُوا مِنَ ٱلصَّفِّ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ. | ٢ |
3 When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has Jehovah struck us today before the Philistines? Let us get the ark of Jehovah out of Shiloh to us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies."
| فَجَاءَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. وَقَالَ شُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لِمَاذَا كَسَّرَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَامَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟ لِنَأْخُذْ لِأَنْفُسِنَا مِنْ شِيلُوهَ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ فَيَدْخُلَ فِي وَسَطِنَا وَيُخَلِّصَنَا مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِنَا». | ٣ |
4 So the people sent to Shiloh; and they brought from there the ark of Jehovah, who sits above the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark.
| فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى شِيلُوهَ وَحَمَلُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ ٱبْنَا عَالِي حُفْنِي وَفِينَحَاسُ مَعَ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱللهِ. | ٤ |
5 When the ark of Jehovah came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
| وَكَانَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ أَنَّ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هَتَفُوا هُتَافًا عَظِيمًا حَتَّى ٱرْتَجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ. | ٥ |
6 When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, "What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?" They understood that the ark of Jehovah had come into the camp.
| فَسَمِعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ صَوْتَ ٱلْهُتَافِ فَقَالُوا: «مَا هُوَ صَوْتُ هَذَا ٱلْهُتَافِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ فِي مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ؟» وَعَلِمُوا أَنَّ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ٦ |
7 The Philistines were afraid, for they said, "Gods have come into the camp." They said, "Woe to us. For there has not been such a thing before.
| فَخَافَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «قَدْ جَاءَ ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ». وَقَالُوا: «وَيْلٌ لَنَا لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُ هَذَا مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَلَا مَا قَبْلَهُ! | ٧ |
8 Woe to us. Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
| وَيْلٌ لَنَا! مَنْ يُنْقِذُنَا مِنْ يَدِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلْقَادِرِينَ؟ هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْآلِهَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ ضَرَبُوا مِصْرَ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلضَّرَبَاتِ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٨ |
9 Be strong, and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves like men, and fight."
| تَشَدَّدُوا وَكُونُوا رِجَالًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِئَّلَا تُسْتَعْبَدُوا لِلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ كَمَا ٱسْتُعْبِدُوا هُمْ لَكُمْ. فَكُونُوا رِجَالًا وَحَارِبُوا». | ٩ |
10 So they fought, and Israel was defeated, and they fled every man to his tent. And there was a very great slaughter, for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
| فَحَارَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ، وَٱنْكَسَرَ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَهَرَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ. وَكَانَتِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا، وَسَقَطَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَلَاثُونَ أَلْفَ رَاجِلٍ. | ١٠ |
11 The ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
| وَأُخِذَ تَابُوتُ ٱللهِ، وَمَاتَ ٱبْنَا عَالِي حُفْنِي وَفِينَحَاسُ. | ١١ |
12 There ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn, and with earth on his head.
| فَرَكَضَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنْيَامِينَ مِنَ ٱلصَّفِّ وَجَاءَ إِلَى شِيلُوهَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَثِيَابُهُ مُمَزَّقَةٌ وَتُرَابٌ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 When he came, look, Eli was sitting on his seat by the side of the gate watching the road, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. When the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
| وَلَمَّا جَاءَ، فَإِذَا عَالِي جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بِجَانِبِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ يُرَاقِبُ، لِأَنَّ قَلْبَهُ كَانَ مُضْطَرِبًا لِأَجْلِ تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ. وَلَمَّا جَاءَ ٱلرَّجُلُ لِيُخْبِرَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ صَرَخَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ كُلُّهَا. | ١٣ |
14 When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, "What does the noise of this tumult mean?" The man hurried, and came and told Eli.
| فَسَمِعَ عَالِي صَوْتَ ٱلصُّرَاخِ فَقَالَ: «مَا هُوَ صَوْتُ ٱلضَّجِيجِ هَذَا؟» فَأَسْرَعَ ٱلرَّجُلُ وَأَخْبَرَ عَالِيَ. | ١٤ |
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, so that he could not see.
| وَكَانَ عَالِي ٱبْنَ ثَمَانٍ وَتِسْعِينَ سَنَةً، وَقَامَتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يُبْصِرَ. | ١٥ |
16 The man said to Eli, "I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army." He said, "How did the matter go, my son?"
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّجُلُ لِعَالِي: «أَنَا جِئْتُ مِنَ ٱلصَّفِّ، وَأَنَا هَرَبْتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنَ ٱلصَّفِّ». فَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ كَانَ ٱلْأَمْرُ يَا ٱبْنِي؟» | ١٦ |
17 He who brought the news answered, "Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured."
| فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمُخَبِّرُ وَقَالَ: «هَرَبَ إِسْرَائِيلُ أَمَامَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَكَانَتْ أَيْضًا كَسْرَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ فِي ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَمَاتَ أَيْضًا ٱبْنَاكَ حُفْنِي وَفِينَحَاسُ، وَأُخِذَ تَابُوتُ ٱللهِ». | ١٧ |
18 It happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died; for he was an old man, and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا ذَكَرَ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ، أَنَّهُ سَقَطَ عَنِ ٱلْكُرْسِيِّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْبَابِ، فَٱنْكَسَرَتْ رَقَبَتُهُ وَمَاتَ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلًا شَيْخًا وَثَقِيلًا. وَقَدْ قَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. | ١٨ |
19 His daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered. When she heard the news that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.
| وَكَنَّتُهُ ٱمْرَأَةُ فِينَحَاسَ كَانَتْ حُبْلَى تَكَادُ تَلِدُ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ خَبَرَ أَخْذِ تَابُوتِ ٱللهِ وَمَوْتَ حَمِيهَا وَرَجُلِهَا، رَكَعَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ، لِأَنَّ مَخَاضَهَا ٱنْقَلَبَ عَلَيْهَا. | ١٩ |
20 When her time came, she was abount to die, and the women who stood by her said to her, "Do not be afraid; for you have given birth to a son." But she did not answer, neither did she regard it.
| وَعِنْدَ ٱحْتِضَارِهَا قَالَتْ لَهَا ٱلْوَاقِفَاتُ عِنْدَهَا: «لَا تَخَافِي لِأَنَّكِ قَدْ وَلَدْتِ ٱبْنًا». فَلَمْ تُجِبْ وَلَمْ يُبَالِ قَلْبُهَا. | ٢٠ |
21 And she named the boy Ichabod, because of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
| فَدَعَتِ ٱلصَّبِيَّ «إِيخَابُودَ» قَائِلَةً: «قَدْ زَالَ ٱلْمَجْدُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ». لِأَنَّ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ قَدْ أُخِذَ وَلِأَجْلِ حَمِيهَا وَرَجُلِهَا. | ٢١ |
22 She said, "The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured."
| فَقَالَتْ: «زَالَ ٱلْمَجْدُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَنَّ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ قَدْ أُخِذَ». | ٢٢ |
