1 Samuel 22
1 David [and his men] left Gath and went [east] to hide in a cave on a hill at Adullam [city]. Soon his [older] brothers and all his other relatives came and stayed with him there.
| داوود از جَت فرار کرده، به غار عدولام رفت و طولی نکشید که در آنجا برادران و سایر بستگانش به او ملحق شدند. |
2 Then other men came there. Some were men who had caused trouble, some were men who owed money, and some were men who were not content [IDM] [with the government]. They continued to come until there were 400 men there, and David was their leader.
| همچنین تمام کسانی که رنجدیده، قرضدار و ناراضی بودند نزد وی جمع شدند. تعداد آنها به چهارصد نفر می‌رسید و داوود رهبر آنها شد. |
3 Later they left there and went [east] to Mizpah [city] in the Moab region. There David requested the king of Moab, “Please allow my father and mother to live here with you until I know what God is going to do for me.”
| بعد داوود به مصفهٔ موآب رفته، به پادشاه موآب گفت: «خواهش می‌کنم اجازه دهید پدر و مادرم در اینجا با شما زندگی کنند تا ببینم خدا برای من چه خواهد کرد.» |
4 [The king gave him permission, ] so David’s parents stayed with the king of Moab all the time that David and the men who were with him were hiding [in that area].
| پس آنها را نزد پادشاه موآب برد. در تمام مدتی که داوود در مخفیگاه زندگی می‌کرد، آنها در موآب به سر می‌بردند. |
5 One day the prophet Gad told David, “Leave (your fortress/this area) and return to Judah.” So David and his men went to Hereth forest [in Judah].
| روزی جاد نبی نزد داوود آمده، به او گفت: «از مخفیگاه بیرون بیا و به سرزمین یهودا برگرد.» پس داوود به جنگل حارث رفت. |
6 One day, someone told Saul that David and his men had arrived in Judah. On that day, Saul was sitting underneath the tamarisk tree on a hill at Gibeah [town]. He was holding his spear, and was surrounded by his army officers.
| یک روز شائول بر تپه‌ای در جِبعه زیر درخت بلوطی نشسته و نیزه‌اش در دستش بود و افرادش در اطراف او ایستاده بودند. به او خبر دادند که داوود و افرادش پیدا شده‌اند. |
7 He shouted to them, “You men of the tribe of Benjamin, listen to me! Do you think that the son of Jesse will give all of you fields and vineyards [if he becomes your king]? Will he appoint all of you to become generals and captains [in his army] [RHQ]?
| شائول به افرادش گفت: «ای مردان بنیامین گوش دهید! آیا فکر می‌کنید پسر یَسا مزارع و تاکستانها به شما خواهد داد و همهٔ شما را افسران سپاه خود خواهد ساخت؟ |
8 Is that why you have all conspired against me [RHQ]? None of you told me when my son [Jonathan] made a solemn agreement with that son of Jesse. None of you feels sorry for me. That son of Jesse was my servant, but now my son is encouraging him to hide in order to (ambush me/attack me suddenly), as he is doing today!”
| آیا برای این چیزهاست که شما بر ضد من توطئه کرده‌اید؟ چرا هیچ‌کدام از شما به من نگفتید که پسرم با پسر یَسا پیمان بسته است؟ کسی از شما به فکر من نیست و به من نمی‌گوید که خدمتگزار من داوود به ترغیب پسرم قصد کشتن مرا دارد!» |
9 Doeg, a man from the Edom people-group, was standing there with Saul’s officers. He said to Saul, “When I was at Nob, I saw that son of Jesse talking to Ahimelech, the priest.
| آنگاه دوآغ ادومی که در کنار افراد شائول ایستاده بود چنین گفت: «وقتی من در نوب بودم، پسر یَسا را دیدم که با اخیملک کاهن صحبت می‌کرد. اخیملک دعا کرد تا خواست خداوند را برای داوود بداند. بعد به او خوراک داد و شمشیر جُلیات فلسطینی را نیز در اختیارش گذاشت.» |
10 Ahimelech asked Yahweh what David should do. Then Ahimelech gave to David some food and the sword of Goliath, [the giant] from the Philistia people-group.”
11 Then Saul summoned Ahimelech and all Ahimelech’s relatives who were priests at Nob. So they all came to the king.
| شائول فوری اخیملک کاهن و بستگانش را که کاهنان نوب بودند احضار نمود. وقتی آمدند شائول گفت: «ای اخیملک، پسر اخیتوب، گوش کن!» اخیملک گفت: «بله قربان، گوش به فرمانم.» |
12 Saul said to Ahimelech, “You son of Ahitub, listen to me!” Ahimelech answered, “Yes, sir!”
13 Saul said, “Why are you and Jesse’s son conspiring to get rid of me? You gave him some bread and a sword. You requested God to tell David what he should do. David has rebelled against me, and right now he is [hiding somewhere], waiting [to attack me].”
| شائول گفت: «چرا تو و پسر یَسا علیه من توطئه چیده‌اید؟ چرا خوراک و شمشیر به او دادی و برای او از خدا هدایت خواستی؟ او بر ضد من برخاسته است و در کمین من می‌باشد تا مرا بکشد.» |
14 Ahimelech replied, “[I do not understand why you are saying that, because] David, your son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguards, is very loyal to you. No one is more loyal to you than David! Everyone in your household respects him very much.
| اخیملک پاسخ داد: «اما ای پادشاه، آیا در بین همهٔ خدمتگزارانتان شخصی وفادارتر از داوود که داماد شماست یافت می‌شود؟ او فرماندهٔ گارد سلطنتی و مورد احترام درباریان است! |
15 Furthermore, this was certainly not [RHQ] the first time that I requested God to say what he wanted David to do. And it is not right for you to accuse me or any of my relatives [of trying to get rid of you], because I do not know anything about [anyone wanting to do that].”
| دعای من برای او چیز تازه‌ای نیست. غلامت و خاندانش را در این مورد مقصر ندانید، زیرا اطلاعی از چگونگی امر نداشتم.» |
16 The king then shouted, “Ahimelech, you and your all your relatives are going to be executed right now!”
| پادشاه فریاد زد: «ای اخیملک، تو و تمام خاندانت باید کشته شوید!» |
17 Then he commanded his bodyguards, “Kill these priests of Yahweh, because they are allies of David, and they are conspiring with David against me! They knew that David was trying to run away from me, but they did not tell me!” But Saul’s bodyguards refused to kill Yahweh’s priests.
| آنگاه به گارد محافظ خود گفت: «تمام این کاهنان خداوند را بکشید، زیرا همهٔ آنها با داوود همدست هستند. آنها می‌دانستند که داوود از دست من گریخته است، ولی چیزی به من نگفتند!» اما سربازان جرأت نکردند دست خود را به خون کاهنان خداوند آلوده کنند. |
18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You kill them!” So Doeg, the man from the Edom people-group, went out and struck them with his sword. On that day he killed eighty-five men who were wearing the sacred vests [because they were God’s priests].
| پادشاه به دوآغ ادومی گفت: «تو این کار را انجام بده.» دوآغ برخاست و همه را کشت. قربانیان، هشتاد و پنج نفر بودند و لباسهای رسمی کاهنان را بر تن داشتند. |
19 He also went and killed many people in Nob, the city where the priests lived. He killed men, women, children, babies, cattle, donkeys, and sheep there.
| سپس به دستور شائول به نوب، شهر کاهنان رفته، تمام مردان، زنان، اطفال شیرخواره، و حتی گاوها، الاغها و گوسفندها را از بین برد. |
20 But Abiathar, Ahimelech’s son, escaped. He ran away and joined David [and the men who were with him].
| فقط اَبیّاتار، یکی از پسران اخیملک جان به در برد و نزد داوود فرار کرد. |
21 He told David that Saul had commanded [Doeg] to kill Yahweh’s priests.
| او به داوود خبر داد که شائول کاهنان خداوند را کشته است. |
22 Then David said to him, “That man from the Edom people-group, Doeg, was there at Nob on the day [that I was there]. I knew that he would surely tell Saul [what happened]. So it is my fault that your father and all of his family have been killed.
| داوود گفت: «وقتی دوآغ را در آنجا دیدم فهمیدم به شائول خبر می‌دهد. در حقیقت من باعث کشته شدن خاندان پدرت شدم. |
23 You stay with me, and do not be afraid. The man who wants to kill you wants to kill me also, but you will be safe if you stay with me.”
| حال، پیش من بمان و نترس. هر که قصد کشتن تو را دارد، دنبال من هم هست. تو پیش من در امان خواهی بود.» |
