1 Samuel 14

1 Now it happened one day that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who carried his armor, "Come, let's go over to the Philistine garrison on the other side." But he did not tell his father.

١ وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ قَالَ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شَاوُلَ لِلْغُلامِ حَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَمْضِ إِلَى حَامِيَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الْمُعَسْكِرَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَمَرِّ». وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْبِرْ أَبَاهُ بِذَلِكَ.

2 Now Saul stayed in the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree by the threshing floor, and the people who were with him were about six hundred men.

٢ وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ وَرِجَالُهُ السِّتُّ مِئَةٍ مُقِيمِينَ فِي طَرَفِ جِبْعَةَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ الرُّمَّانِ فِي مِغْرُونَ.

3 Now Ahijah was wearing an ephod. He was the son of Ahitub, the brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of YHWH in Shiloh. And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.

٣ وَمِنْ جُمْلَتِهِمْ كَانَ أَخِيَّا بْنُ أَخِيطُوبَ أَخِي إِيخَابُودَ بْنِ فِينْحَاسَ بْنِ عَالِي، كَاهِنُ الرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ، وَكَانَ لابِساً أَفُوداً، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْجَيْشِ بِذَهَابِ يُونَاثَانَ.

4 Now on each side of the pass through which Jonathan intended to cross to the Philistine garrison there was a steep cliff on one side and a steep cliff on the other side. And the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

٤ وَكَانَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْمَمَرَّاتِ الَّتِي الْتَمَسَ يُونَاثَانُ عُبُورَهَا، لِكَيْ يَتَسَلَّلَ إِلَى حَامِيَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، مَمَرٌّ ضَيِّقٌ بَيْنَ صَخْرَتَيْنِ مَسْنُونَتَيْنِ، تُسَمَّى إِحْدَاهُمَا بُوصَيْصَ وَالأُخْرَى تُسَمَّى سِنَهَ،

5 The one cliff was to north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

٥ وَكَانَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا تَنْتَصِبُ كَعَمُودٍ إِلَى الشِّمَالِ مُقَابِلَ مِخْمَاسَ، وَالأُخْرَى إِلَى الْجَنُوبِ مُقَابِلَ جِبْعَةَ.

6 Then Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor, "Come, let's go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that YHWH will work for us, for nothing can prevent YHWH from saving by many or by a few."

٦ فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِلْغُلامِ حَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ: «نَذَهَبُ إِلَى خُطُوطِ هَؤُلاءِ الْغُلْفِ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ يُجْرِي مِنْ أَجْلِنَا أَمْراً عَظِيماً، إِذْ لَا يَمْتَنِعُ عَنِ الرَّبِّ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ بِالْعَدَدِ الْكَثِيرِ أَوْ بِالْقَلِيلِ».

7 His armor bearer said to him, "Do all that your heart inclines toward. Look, I am with you, my heart is as your heart."

٧ فَأَجَابَهُ: «افْعَلْ مَا اسْتَقَرَّ عَلَيْهِ قَلْبُكَ. تَقَدَّمْ، وَهَا أَنَا مَعَكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا عَزَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ».

8 Then Jonathan said, "Look, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.

٨ فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «لِنَعْبُرْ صَوْبَ الْقَوْمِ وَنُظْهِرْ لَهُمْ أَنْفُسَنَا.

9 If they say thus to us, 'Wait until we come to you,' then we will stop where we are, and will not go up to them.

٩ فَإِنْ قَالُوا لَنَا: انْتَظِرُوا رَيْثَمَا نَأْتِي إِلَيْكُمْ. نَثْبُتُ فِي مَكَانِنَا وَلا نَتَقَدَّمُ نَحْوَهُمْ.

10 But if they say this, 'Come up to us,' then we will go up; for YHWH has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us."

١٠ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالُوا لَنَا: تَقَدَّمُوا صَوْبَنَا، نَتَّجِهُ نَحْوَهُمْ، وَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ عَلامَةَ الرَّبِّ لَنَا أَنَّهُ يَنْصُرُنَا عَلَيْهِمْ».

11 Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, "Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves."

١١ فَأَظْهَرَا نَفْسَيْهُمَا لِحَامِيَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. فَقَالَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ: «هَا الْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ يَبْرُزُونَ مِنَ الْجُحُورِ الَّتِي اخْتَبَأُوا فِيهَا».

12 The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you something." Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come up after me; for YHWH has delivered them into the hand of Israel."

١٢ وَقَالَ رِجَالُ الْحَامِيَةِ لِيُونَاثَانَ وَحَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ: «تَقَدَّمُوا صَوْبَنَا لِنُلْقِيَ عَلَيْكُمَا دَرْساً». فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِحَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ: «اتْبَعْنِي لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَسْلَمَهُمْ لإِسْرَائِيلَ».

13 Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.

١٣ وَتَسَلَّقَ يُونَاثَانُ وَحَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمَا وَأَرْجُلِهِمَا، وَهَاجَمَهُمْ يُونَاثَانُ. فَكَانَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يَسْقُطُونَ أَمَامَهُ، فَيُسْرِعُ حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ وَرَاءَهُ وَيَقْضِي عَلَيْهِمْ.

14 That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer made was about twenty men, with arrows and with weapons from flints of the field.

١٤ فَقُتِلَ عَلَى إِثْرِ هَذَا الْهُجُومِ الأَوَّلِ نَحْوَ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلاً تَبَعْثَرَتْ جُثَثُهُمْ فِي حَوَالَيْ نِصْفِ فَدَّانٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ.

15 And there was a terror in the camp, and in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and even the raiders were terrified. And the earth quaked, and it became a terror of God.

١٥ فَانْتَابَ الرُّعْبُ الْمُخَيَّمَ وَالْجَيْشَ الْمُنْتَشِرَ فِي الْحَقْلِ وَجَمِيعَ الشَّعْبِ، وَارْتَعَدَتِ الْحَامِيَةُ وَالْغُزَاةُ، وَحَدَثَتْ هَزَّةٌ رَجَفَتْ فِيهَا الأَرْضُ وَزَادَتْ مِنْ رِعْدَتِهِمِ الْعَظِيمَةِ.

16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin saw, and look, the multitude was scattering here and there.

١٦ وَشَاهَدَ مُرَاقِبُو جَيْشِ شَاوُلَ فِي جِبْعَةِ بِنْيَامِينَ مَا أَصَابَ جَيْشَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ تَبَدُّدٍ وَتَشَتُّتٍ.

17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Count now, and see who is missing from us." When they had counted, look, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

١٧ فَأَمَرَ شَاوُلُ رِجَالَهُ أَنْ يَقُومُوا بِإِحْصَاءِ الْمَوْجُودِينَ لِمَعْرِفَةِ الَّذِينَ انْطَلَقُوا لِمُهَاجَمَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَاكْتَشَفُوا غِيَابَ يُونَاثَانَ وَحَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ

18 And Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring near the ephod," for he wore the ephod at that time before Israel.

١٨ فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لأَخِيَّا: «أَحْضِرْ تَابُوتَ اللهِ». لأَنَّ تَابُوتَ اللهِ كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

19 And it happened, while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."

١٩ وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ شَاوُلُ يَتَحَدَّثُ مَعَ الْكَاهِنِ تَزَايَدَ ضَجِيجُ مُعَسْكَرِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلْكَاهِنِ: «كُفَّ يَدَكَ».

20 Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and look, every man's sword was against his fellow: a very great confusion.

٢٠ وَهَتَفَ شَاوُلُ وَجَمِيعُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَى سَاحَةِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ، وَإذَا بِهِمْ يَشْهَدُونَ سَيْفَ كُلِّ فِلِسْطِينِيٍّ مُسَلَّطاً عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ، وَقَدْ فَشَا بَيْنَهُمُ اضْطِرَابٌ عَظِيمٌ.

21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines previously when they went up with them to the camp, they too turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

٢١ وَانْضَمَّ الْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ الْتَحَقُوا بِالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَأَقَامُوا مَعَهُمْ فِي الْمُعَسْكَرِ وَمَا حَوْلَهُ إِلَى الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ مَعَ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ.

22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed closely after them in the battle.

٢٢ وَسَمِعَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ اخْتَبَأُوا فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ أَنَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَرُّوا، فَجَدُّوا هُمْ أَيْضاً فِي تَعَقُّبِهِمْ وَقَتْلِهِمْ.

23 So YHWH saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over by Beth Aven. And all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men. And the battle extended itself into every city in the hill country of Ephraim.

٢٣ وَهَكَذَا أَنْقَذَ الرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَمَا لَبِثَتْ سَاحَةُ الْحَرْبِ أَنِ انْتَقَلَتْ إِلَى مَا وَرَاءِ حُدودِ بَيْتِ آوِنَ.

24 And Saul committed a great blunder that day, for he had placed the people under an oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

٢٤ وَأَعْيَا رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، لأَنَّ شَاوُلَ حَلَّفَ الشَّعْبَ قَائِلاً: «مَلْعُونٌ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ طَعَاماً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ حَتَّى أَنْتَقِمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي». فَلَمْ يَذُقْ جَمِيعُ الْقَوْمِ طَعَاماً.

25 Now all the people came upon a honeycomb, and there was honey on the ground.

٢٥ وَأَقْبَلَ كُلُّ الْجَيْشِ إِلَى الْغَابَةِ حَيْثُ كَانَ الْعَسَلُ يَتَقَاطَرُ،

26 And when the people came upon the honeycomb, look, its bees had left, but no man would raise his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

٢٦ وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَجْرُؤْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَتَذَوَّقَ مِنْهُ خَوْفاً مِنْ لَعْنَةِ الْحَلْفِ.

27 But Jonathan did not hear when his father commanded the people with the oath, so he put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.

٢٧ أَمَّا يُونَاثَانُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ حَاضِراً عِنْدَمَا اسْتَحْلَفَ وَالِدُهُ الْقَوْمَ، فَمَدَّ طَرَفَ عَصَاهُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ بِيَدِهِ وَغَمَسَهُ فِي قَطْرِ الْعَسَلِ وَتَذَوَّقَ مِنْهُ فَانْتَعَشَتْ قُوَّتُهُ.

28 Then one of the people answered, and said, "Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, 'Cursed is the man who eats food this day.'" The people were faint.

٢٨ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ: «قَدْ حَلَّفَ أَبُوكَ الْقَوْمَ قَائِلاً: مَلْعُونٌ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ الْيَوْمَ طَعَاماً»، فَأَصَابَ الشَّعْبَ الإِعْيَاءُ.

29 Then Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

٢٩ فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «لَقَدْ أَضَرَّ أَبِي بِكُلِّ الْجَيْشِ. انْظُرُوا كَيْفَ انْتَعَشَتْ قُوَايَ لأَنِّي ذُقْتُ قَلِيلاً مِنَ الْعَسَلِ.

30 How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies when they found it, for the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater."

٣٠ فَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ حَالُ الْجَيْشِ لَوْ أَكَلَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ غَنَائِمِ أَعْدَائِهِ الَّتِي أَحْرَزَهَا؟ أَلا تَكُونُ عِنْدَئِذٍ كَارِثَةَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَدْهَى وَأَمَرَّ؟»

31 They struck of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;

٣١ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ ظَلَّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ يَتَعَقَّبُونَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَيَقْتُلُونَهُمْ مِنْ مِخْمَاسَ إِلَى أَيَّلُونَ. وَأَصَابَ الْجَيْشَ إِعْيَاءٌ شَدِيدٌ.

32 and the people pounced upon the spoil, and took sheep, and cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.

٣٢ وَهَجَمَ الْجَيْشُ عَلَى الْغَنَائِمِ مِنَ الْمَاشِيَةِ وَأَخَذُوا غَنَماً وَبَقَراً وَعُجُولاً، وَذَبَحُوا عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَأَكَلُوا اللَّحْمَ بِدَمِهِ.

33 Then they told Saul, saying, "Look, the people are sinning against YHWH, in that they eat meat with the blood." He said, "You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me this day."

٣٣ فَأَخْبَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ شَاوُلَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ الْجَيْشَ يَرْتَكِبُ خَطِيئَةً بِحَقِّ الرَّبِّ، إِذْ يَأْكُلُونَ اللَّحْمَ مَعَ الدَّمِ». فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لَقَدْ نَقَضْتُمْ عَهْدَكُمْ. دَحْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ حَجَراً كَبِيراً،

34 And Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, 'Each one of you bring to me his ox or his sheep, and slaughter them here and eat, and do not sin against YHWH by eating with the blood.'" So everyone of the people brought whatever he had at hand with him, and slaughtered it there.

٣٤ وَتَفَرَّقُوا بَيْنَ الْجَيْشِ وَأْمُرُوهُمْ أَنْ يُحْضِرُوا بَقَرَهَمْ وَشِيَاهَهُمْ لِيَذْبَحُوهَا عِنْدَ الْحَجَرِ، وَيَتْرُكُوهَا لِتَسِيلَ دِمَاؤُهَا، فَلا يَرْتَكِبُونَ إِثْماً فِي حَقِّ الرَّبِّ بِأَكْلِ الدَّمِ». وَفَعَلَ الْجُنُودُ مَا أَمَرَ شَاوُلُ بِهِ فَأَحْضَرُوا بَقَرَهُمْ وَذَبَحُوهَا هُنَاكَ.

35 Saul built an altar to YHWH. This was the first altar that he built to YHWH.

٣٥ وبَنَى شَاوُلُ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ. فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَذْبَحٍ يَشْرَعُ فِي بِنَائِهِ.

36 Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them." They said, "Do whatever seems good to you." Then the priest said, "Let us draw near here to God."

٣٦ وَأَمَرَ شَاوُلُ: «لِنَتَعَقَّبِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لَيْلاً وَنَظَلَّ نَنْهَبُهُمْ إِلَى ضَوْءِ الصَّبَاحِ، وَلا نُبْقِ مِنْهُمْ أَحَداً». فَأَجَابُوهُ: «افْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا يَطِيبُ لَكَ». وَلَكِنَّ الْكَاهِنَ قَالَ: «لِنَسْتَشِرِ اللهَ هُنَا».

37 Saul asked counsel of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?" But he did not answer him that day.

٣٧ فَاسْتَشَارَ شَاوُلُ اللهَ سَائِلاً: «أَنَتَعَقَّبُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟ أَتَنْصُرُنَا عَلَيْهِمْ؟» فَلَمْ يَحْظَ بِجَوَابٍ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.

38 And Saul said, "Come here, all you leaders of the people; and investigate and see how this sin has arisen today.

٣٨ فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «اقْتَرِبُوا إِلَى هُنَا يَا جَمِيعَ وُجُوهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتَقَصَّوْا أَيَّةَ خَطِيئَةٍ ارْتُكِبَتِ الْيَوْمَ.

39 For, as YHWH lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.

٣٩ لأَنَّهُ حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنَّ الْمَوْتَ هُوَ جَزَاءُ مُرْتَكِبِ الْخَطِيئَةِ حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ جَانِيهَا ابْنِي يُونَاثَانَ». فَاعْتَصَمَ الْقَوْمُ بِالصَّمْتِ.

40 Then he said to all Israel, "You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side." The people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."

٤٠ فَقَالَ لِكُلِّ الْجَيْشِ: «قِفُوا أَنْتُمْ فِي جَانِبٍ، وَأَقِفُ أَنَا وَابْنِي يُونَاثَانُ فِي جَانِبٍ آخَرَ». فَأَجَابَ الشَّعْبُ: «اصْنَعْ مَا يَرُوقُ لَكَ».

41 Therefore Saul said, "YHWH, God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? If this sin is mine or in Jonathan my son, YHWH, God of Israel, give Urim. But if this sin is in your people Israel, give Thummim." And Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people were cleared.

٤١ وَصَلَّى شَاوُلُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «اكْشِفْ لِيَ الْحَقَّ». فَوَقَعَتِ الْقُرْعَةُ عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ، وَتَبَرَّأَ الْقَوْمُ.

42 And Saul said, "Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. Whomever YHWH shall indicate to be taken by lot, let him die." And the people said to Saul, "This thing is not to be." And Saul prevailed over the people, and they cast lots between him and Jonathan his son. And Jonathan was selected.

٤٢ وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «أَلْقُوا الْقُرْعَةَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ يُونَاثَانَ ابْنِي». فَوَقَعَتِ الْقُرْعَةُ عَلَى يُونَاثَانَ.

43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, and said, "I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand; and look, I must die."

٤٣ فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِيُونَاثَانَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي مَاذَا جَنَيْتَ؟» فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «ذُقْتُ قَلِيلاً مِنَ الْعَسَلِ بِطَرَفِ عَصَايَ الَّتِي بِيَدِي. أَمِنْ أَجْلِ قَلِيلٍ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَمُوتَ؟»

44 And Saul said, "God do the same to me and more also if you are not put to death this day."

٤٤ فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لِيُضَاعِفِ الرَّبُّ عِقَابِي إِنْ لَمْ يُنَفَّذْ بِكَ حُكْمُ الْمَوْتِ».

45 The people said to Saul, "Shall he who has worked this great salvation in Israel die today? As YHWH lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.

٤٥ فَهَتَفَ الْجَيْشُ فِي وَجْهِ شَاوُلَ: «أَيَمُوتُ يُونَاثَانُ الَّذِي صَنَعَ هَذَا الْخَلاصَ الْعَظِيمَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ هَذَا لَا يُمْكِنُ! حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، لَا تَسْقُطُ شَعْرَةٌ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ لأَنَّهُ صَنَعَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ بِمَعُونَةِ الرَّبِّ الْيَوْمَ». وَهَكَذَا افْتَدَى الشَّعْبُ يُونَاثَانَ فَلَمْ يَمُتْ.

46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.

٤٦ وَكَفَّ شَاوُلُ عَنْ تَعَقُّبِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَرَجَعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ إِلَى أَرْضِهِمْ.

47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the people of Ammon, and against Edom, and against Beth Rehob, and against the king of Zobah, and against the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he was victorious.

٤٧ وَتَوَلَّى شَاوُلُ كُرْسِيَّ الْمُلْكِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَحَارَبَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ، الْمُوآبِيِّينَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ وَالأَدُومِيِّينَ وَمُلُوكَ صُوبَةَ وَالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَحَالَفَهُ النَّصْرُ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهَ.

48 And he did valiantly, and struck Amalek, and delivered Israel out of the hand of its plunderers.

٤٨ وَخَاضَ مَعَارِكَ قَاسِيَةً، فَقَهَرَ عَمَالِيقَ وَأَنْقَذَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ مِنْ يَدِ نَاهِبِيهِمْ.

49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jishvi, and Malkishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the younger Mikal:

٤٩ أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ شَاوُلَ فَهُمْ يُونَاثَانُ وَيَشْوِي وَمَلْكِيشُوعُ، وَاسْمَا ابْنَتَيْهِ مَيْرَبُ وَهِيَ الْكُبْرَى، وَمِيكَالُ وَهِيَ الصُّغْرَى.

50 and the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the commander of his army was Abiner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
