1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
| وَعِنْدَمَا فَرَغَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ مَعَ شَاوُلَ، تَعَلَّقَتْ نَفْسُ يُونَاثَانَ بِدَاوُدَ وَأَحَبَّهُ كَنَفْسِهِ. | ١ |
2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house.
| وَاسْتَبْقَى شَاوُلُ دَاوُدَ، وَلَمْ يَدَعْهُ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ. | ٢ |
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
| وَتَعَاهَدَ يُونَاثَانُ وَدَاوُدُ، لأَنَّ يُونَاثَانَ أَحَبَّهُ كَنَفْسِهِ. | ٣ |
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his belt.
| وَخَلَعَ يُونَاثَانُ جُبَّتَهُ وَوَهَبَهَا لِدَاوُدَ مَعَ ثِيَابِهِ وَسَيْفِهِ وَقَوْسِهِ وَحِزَامِهِ. | ٤ |
5 And David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
| وَكَانَ النَّجَاحُ حَلِيفَ دَاوُدَ فِي كُلِّ مُهِمَّةٍ كَلَّفَهُ بِها شَاوُلُ، لِذَلِكَ وَلّاهُ شَاوُلُ إِمْرَةَ رِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ، فَحَظِيَ ذَلِكَ بِاسْتِحْسَانِ الشَّعْبِ وَعَبِيدِ شَاوُلَ أَيْضاً. | ٥ |
6 And it came to pass as they came, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music.
| وَعِنْدَ رُجُوعِ الْجَيْشِ بَعْدَ مَقْتَلِ جُلْيَاتَ، خَرَجَتِ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالْغِنَاءِ وَالرَّقْصِ، وَبِدُفُوفِ الْفَرَحِ وَبِمُثَلَّثَاتٍ لاِسْتِقْبَالِ شَاوُلَ الْمَلِكِ. | ٦ |
7 And the women spoke to one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
| وَرَاحَتِ النِّسَاءُ الرَّاقِصَاتُ يُنْشِدْنَ: «قَتَلَ شَاوُلُ أُلُوفَهُ وَقَتَلَ دَاوُدُ رِبْوَاتِهِ (أَيْ عَشَرَاتِ الأُلُوفِ)». | ٧ |
8 And Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
| فَأَثَارَ هَذَا غَضَبَ شَاوُلَ، وَسَاءَ هَذَا الْغِنَاءُ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَقَالَ: «نَسَبْنَ لِدَاوُدَ قَتْلَ عَشَرَاتِ الأُلُوفِ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَنَسَبْنَ لِي قَتْلَ الأُلُوفِ فَقَطْ! لَمْ يَبْقَ سِوَى أَنْ يُنْعِمْنَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَمْلَكَةِ». | ٨ |
9 And Saul kept a jealous eye on David from that day and onward.
| وَشَرَعَ شَاوُلُ مُنْذُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فَصَاعِداً يُرَاقِبُ دَاوُدَ بِعَيْنٍ مُمْتَلِئَةٍ بِالْغَيْرَةِ. | ٩ |
10 And it came to pass on the next day, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul’s hand.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي أَنْ هَاجَمَ الرُّوحُ الرَّدِيءُ شَاوُلَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ، فَبَدَأَ يَهْذِي جُنُوناً فِي وَسَطِ الْبَيْتِ، بَيْنَمَا كَانَ دَاوُدُ يَعْزِفُ كَعَادَتِهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ. وَكَانَ فِي يَدِ شَاوُلَ رُمْحٌ، | ١٠ |
11 And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David escaped from his presence twice.
| فَأَشْرَعَ شَاوُلُ الرُّمْحَ وَقَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «سَأُسَمِّرُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى الْحَائِطِ». فَرَاغَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ. | ١١ |
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul.
| وَصَارَ شَاوُلُ يَخْشَى دَاوُدَ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ، وَقَدْ فَارَقَ شَاوُلَ. | ١٢ |
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
| فَأَبْعَدَهُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِ وَعَيَّنَهُ قَائِدَ أَلْفٍ، فَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَتَقَدَّمُ دَائِماً فِي طَلِيعَةِ فِرْقَتِهِ. | ١٣ |
14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
| وَحَالَفَهُ الْفَلاحُ فِي كُلِّ أَعْمَالِهِ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ مَعَهُ. | ١٤ |
15 Therefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى شَاوُلُ مَا يَتَمَتَّعُ بِهِ دَاوُدُ مِنْ فِطْنَةٍ تَفَاقَمَ فَزَعُهُ مِنْهُ. | ١٥ |
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
| أَمَّا جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا فَقَدِ ازْدَادُوا حُبّاً لَهُ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ دَائِماً يَقُودُهُمْ فِي حَمْلاتِهِمِ الْعَسْكَرِيَّةِ الْمُوَفَّقَةِ. | ١٦ |
17 And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee for a wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD’S battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
| وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ: «إِنَّنِي أَبْغِي أَنْ أُزَوِّجَكَ مِنِ ابْنَتِي الْكَبِيرَةِ مَيْرَبَ، شَرِيطَةَ أَنْ تَكُونَ بَطَلاً وَتُحَارِبَ حُرُوبَ الرَّبِّ» فَقَدْ حَدَّثَ شَاوُلُ نَفْسَهُ قَائِلاً: «لا أَحْمِلُ أَنَا جَرِيرَةَ قَتْلِهِ بَلْ يَقْتُلُهُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ». | ١٧ |
18 And David said to Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?
| فَأَجَابَ دَاوُدُ: «مَنْ أَنَا وَمَا هِيَ حَيَاتِي؟ وَمَا هِيَ عَائِلَتِي وَمَا هِيَ مَكَانَةُ عَائِلَتِي فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى أُصْبِحَ صِهْراً لِلْمَلِكِ؟» | ١٨ |
19 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
| وَعِنْدَمَا اقْتَرَبَ مَوْعِدُ زِفَافِ مَيْرَبَ لِدَاوُدَ، زَوَّجَهَا شَاوُلُ مِنْ عَدْرِيئِيلَ الْمَحُولِيِّ. | ١٩ |
20 And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
| لَكِنَّ مِيكَالَ ابْنَةَ شَاوُلَ الصُّغْرَى أَحَبَّتْ دَاوُدَ، فَعَلِمَ شَاوُلُ بِالأَمْرِ وَحَظِيَ ذَلِكَ بِرِضَاهُ. | ٢٠ |
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the two.
| وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «أُزَوِّجُهُ مِنْهَا فَتَكُونُ لَهُ فَخّاً، وَكَذَلِكَ يَسْعَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ إِلَى قَتْلِهِ». وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً: «يُمْكِنُكَ مُصَاهَرَتِي الْيَوْمَ». | ٢١ |
22 And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Speak with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king’s son in law.
| وَأَمَرَ شَاوُلُ رِجَالَهُ أَنْ يُسِرُّوا فِي أُذُنِ دَاوُدَ أَنَّ الْمَلِكَ يُحِبُّهُ، وَأَنَّهُ مَحَلُّ إِعْجَابِ الْحَاشِيَةِ، وَأَنْ يَنْصَحُوهُ بِمُصَاهَرَةِ الْمَلِكِ، | ٢٢ |
23 And Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king’s son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
| فَرَاحَ عَبِيدُ شَاوُلَ يُسِرُّونَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فِي مَسَامِعِ دَاوُدَ. فَأَجَابَ دَاوُدُ: «أَتَظُنُّونَ مُصَاهَرَةَ الْمَلِكِ أَمْراً تَافِهاً؟ أَنَا لَسْتُ سِوَى رَجُلٍ مِسْكِينٍ حَقِيرٍ». | ٢٣ |
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spoke David.
| فَأَخْبَرَ عَبِيدُ شَاوُلَ سَيِّدَهُمْ بِحَدِيثِ دَاوُدَ. | ٢٤ |
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا مَا تَقُولُونَهُ لِدَاوُدَ: إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ لَا يَطْمَعُ فِي مَهْرٍ، بَلْ فِي مِئَةِ غُلْفَةٍ مِنْ غُلَفِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، انْتِقَاماً مِنْ أَعْدَاءِ الْمَلِكِ». قَالَ هَذَا ظَنّاً مِنْهُ أَنْ يُوْقِعَ دَاوُدَ فِي أَسْرِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٢٥ |
26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law: and the days had not expired.
| فَأَبْلَغَ عَبِيدُ شَاوُلَ دَاوُدَ بِمَطْلَبِ الْمَلِكِ، فَرَاقَهُ الأَمْرُ، وَلاسِيَّمَا فِكْرَةُ مُصَاهَرَةِ الْمَلِكِ. وَقَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ الْمُهْلَةُ الْمُعْطَاةُ لَهُ، | ٢٦ |
27 Therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife.
| انْطَلَقَ مَعَ رِجَالِهِ وَقَتَلَ مِئَتَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَأَتَى بِغُلَفِهِمْ وَقَدَّمَهَا كَامِلَةً لِتَكُونَ مَهْراً لِمُصَاهَرَةِ الْمَلِكِ. فَزَوَّجَهُ شَاوُلُ عِنْدَئِذٍ مِنِ ابْنَتِهِ مِيكَالَ. | ٢٧ |
28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul’s daughter loved him.
| وَأَدْرَكَ شَاوُلُ يَقِيناً أَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَ دَاوُدَ، وَأَنَّ ابْنَتَهُ مِيكَالَ تُحِبُّهُ. | ٢٨ |
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
| فَتَزَايَدَ خَوْفُ شَاوُلَ مِنْ دَاوُدَ، وَأَصْبَحَ عَدُوَّهُ اللَّدُودَ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِهِ. | ٢٩ |
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much esteemed.
| وَثَابَرَ أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ عَلَى مُحَارَبَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَظْفَرُ بِهِمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ قُوَّادِ شَاوُلَ، وَأَصْبَحَ اسْمُهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَفَةٍ وَلِسَانٍ. | ٣٠ |
