< 1 Chronicles 10 >

1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
وَشَنَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ حَرْباً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فَانْهَزَمَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ أَمَامَهُمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ سَقَطَ مِنْهُمْ عَدَدٌ غَفِيرٌ قَتْلَى فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ.١
2 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua, the sons of Saul.
وَتَعَقَّبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ، فَقَتَلُوا يُونَاثَانَ وَأَبيِنَادَابَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ، أَبْنَاءَ شَاوُلَ.٢
3 The battle grew fierce against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was wounded by the archers.
وَاشْتَدَّتِ الْمَعْرَكَةُ حَوْلَ شَاوُلَ، فَتَمَكَّنَ رُمَاةُ الْقِسِيِّ مِنْ إِصَابَتِهِ بِجُرْحٍ قَاتِلٍ،٣
4 Then said Saul to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and torture me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِحَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ: «اسْتَلَّ سَيْفَكَ وَاقْتُلْنِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَلْحَقَ بِي هَؤُلاءِ الْغُلْفُ وَيُشَوِّهُونِي». فَأَبَى حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ الإِقْدَامَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ لِشِدَّةِ خَوْفِهِ، فَتَنَاوَلَ شَاوُلُ السَّيْفَ وَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ.٤
5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died.
فَلَمَّا شَاهَدَ حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ أَنَّ سَيِّدَهُ قَدْ مَاتَ، وَقَعَ هُوَ أَيْضاً عَلَى سَيْفِهِ وَمَاتَ.٥
6 So Saul died, and his three sons; and all his house died together.
وَهَكَذَا قَضَى شَاوُلُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ الثَّلاثَةُ مَعَ سَائِرِ رِجَالِ بَيْتِهِ أَيْضاً.٦
7 When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
وَعِنْدَمَا أَدْرَكَ جَمِيعُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ فِي الْوَادِي أَنَّ الْجَيْشَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ قَدْ هَرَبَ، وَأَنَّ الْمَلِكَ شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ قَدْ سَقَطُوا صَرْعَى، هَجَرُوا مُدُنَهُمْ، فَجَاءَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَسَكَنُوا فِيهَا.٧
8 It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي لِلْمَعْرَكَةِ، أَقْبَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِسَلْبِ الْقَتْلَى فَعَثَرُوا عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ قَتْلَى فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ،٨
9 They stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
فَجَرَّدُوهُ مِنْ سِلاحِهِ، وَقَطَعُوا رَأْسَهُ، وَأَذَاعُوا الْبُشْرَى فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ دِيَارِهِمْ وَفِي مَعَابِدِهِمْ وَبَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ.٩
10 They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
وَوَضَعُوا سِلاحَهُ فِي مَعْبَدِ آلِهَتِهِمْ، وَسَمَّرُوا رَأْسَهُ فِي هَيْكَلِ دَاجُونَ.١٠
11 When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ خَبَرُ مَا فَعَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بِشَاوُلَ مَسَامِعَ أَهْلِ يَابِيشَ جِلْعَادَ،١١
12 all the valiant men arose, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
هَبَّ كُلُّ مُحَارِبٍ جَرِيءٍ وَأَخَذُوا جُثَّةَ شَاوُلَ وَجُثَثَ أَبْنَائِهِ وَحَمَلُوها إِلَى يَابِيشَ، وَوَارَوْا عِظَامَهُمْ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ الْبَلُّوطِ فِي يَابِيشَ وَصَامُوا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.١٢
13 So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORD, which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire thereby,
وَهَكَذَا مَاتَ شَاوُلُ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خِيَانَتِهِ وَعِصْيَانِهِ لِلرَّبِّ، وَلأَنَّهُ لَجَأَ إِلَى الْجَانِ طَلَباً لِلْمَشُورَةِ.١٣
14 and did not inquire of the LORD: therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
وَلَمْ يَلْجَأْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ طَلَباً لِمَشُورَتِهِ، فَقَضَى الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَرْشَ الْمُلْكِ لِدَاوُدَ بْنِ يَسَّى.١٤
