1 Samuel 15
1 Samuel also said to Saul, the LORD sent me to anoint thee [to be] king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou to the voice of the words of the LORD.
| وَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «أَنَا الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي الرَّبُّ لأُنَصِّبَكَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَاسْمَعِ الآنَ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ. | ١ |
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember [that] which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [wait] for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
| هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ: إِنِّي مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أُعَاقِبَ عَمَالِيقَ جَزَاءَ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ فِي حَقِّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ حِينَ تَصَدَّى لَهُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ٢ |
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
| فَاذْهَبِ الآنَ وَهَاجِمْ عَمَالِيقَ وَاقْضِ عَلَى كُلِّ مَالَهُ. لَا تَعْفُ عَنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ بَلِ اقْتُلْهُمْ جَمِيعاً رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً، وَأَطْفَالاً وَرُضَّعاً، بَقَراً وَغَنَماً، جِمَالاً وَحَمِيراً». | ٣ |
4 And Saul assembled the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى جَيْشَهُ وَأَحْصَاهُ فِي طَلايِمَ، فَبَلَغَ عَدَدُهُ مِئَتَيْ أَلْفِ رَاجِلٍ، فَضْلاً عَنْ عَشَرَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا. | ٤ |
5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
| وَتَوَجَّهَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ عَمَالِيقَ وَكَمَنَ فِي الْوَادِي. | ٥ |
6 And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, withdraw yourselves from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up from Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
| وَبَعَثَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى الْقَيْنِيِّينَ قَائِلاً: «انْسَحِبُوا مِنْ بَيْنِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ لِئَلّا أُهْلِكَكُمْ مَعَهُمْ، فَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ». فَانْسَحَبَ الْقَيْنِيُّونَ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ. | ٦ |
7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah, [until] thou comest to Shur, that [is] over against Egypt.
| وَهَجَمَ شَاوُلُ عَلَى الْعَمَالِقَةِ عَلَى طُولِ الطَّرِيقِ مِنْ حَوِيلَةَ حَتَّى مَشَارِفِ شُورٍ مُقَابِلَ مِصْرَ. | ٧ |
8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
| وَأَسَرَ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ عَمَالِيقَ حَيًّا، وَقَضَى عَلَى جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ. | ٨ |
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all [that was] good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing [that was] vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
| وَعَفَا شَاوُلُ عَنْ أَجَاجَ وَعَنْ خِيَارِ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ وَالْعُجُولِ وَالْخِرَافِ، وَعَنْ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ جَيِّدٌ، وَأَبَوْا أَنْ يَقْضُوا عَلَيْهَا، وَلَمْ يُدَمِّرُوا إِلّا الْأمْلاكَ وَالْغَنَائِمَ الَّتِي لَا قِيمَةَ لَهَا. | ٩ |
10 Then came the word of the LORD to Samuel, saying,
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: | ١٠ |
11 I repent that I have set up Saul [to be] king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried to the LORD all night.
| «لَقَدْ نَدِمْتُ لأَنِّي جَعَلْتُ شَاوُلَ مَلِكاً، فَقَدِ ارْتَدَّ عَنِ اتِّبَاعِي وَلَمْ يُطِعْ أَمْرِي». فَحَزِنَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَصَلَّى إِلَى الرَّبِّ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ. | ١١ |
12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set him up a place, and has gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
| وَفِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي بَاكِراً مَضَى صَمُوئِيلُ لِلِقَاءِ شَاوُلَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «لَقَدْ جَاءَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى الْكَرْمَلِ حَيْثُ أَقَامَ لِنَفْسِهِ نَصَباً تَذْكَارِيًّا، ثُمَّ الْتَفَّ وَانْحَدَرَ نَحْوَ الْجِلْجَالِ». | ١٢ |
13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
| وَعِنْدَمَا الْتَقَى صَمُوئِيلُ بِشَاوُلَ، قَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لِيُبَارِكْكَ الرَّبُّ. لَقَدْ نَفَّذْتُ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ» | ١٣ |
14 And Samuel said, What [meaneth] then this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
| فَسَأَلَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «وَمَاذَا تَقُولُ عَنْ ثُغَاءِ الْغَنَمِ وَصَوْتِ الثِّيرَانِ الَّتِي تَضِجُّ فِي مَسَامِعِي؟» | ١٤ |
15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
| فَأَجَابَ شَاوُلُ: «إِنَّهَا مِنْ غَنَائِمِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ، لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ عَفَا عَنْ خِيَارِ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ لِيُقَدِّمَهَا ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَأَمَّا مَا تَبَقَّى فَقَدْ دَمَّرْنَاهُ». | ١٥ |
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «اصْمُتْ لأُنْبِئَكَ بِمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ». فَأَجَابَهُ: «تَكَلَّمْ». | ١٦ |
17 And Samuel said, When thou [wast] little in thy own sight, [wast] thou not [made] the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «أَلَمْ تَكُنْ تَحْسَبُ نَفْسَكَ حَقِيراً، وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ جَعَلَكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَقَامَكَ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ، | ١٧ |
18 And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.
| وَكَلَّفَكَ بِمُحَارَبَةِ عَمَالِيقَ وَالْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءً مُبْرَماً؟ | ١٨ |
19 Why then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?
| فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تُطِعْ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، بَلْ تَهَافَتَّ عَلَى الْغَنِيمَةِ وَارْتَكَبْتَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ؟» | ١٩ |
20 And Saul said to Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
| فَأَجَابَ شَاوُلُ: «قَدْ أَطَعْتُ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ وَنَفَّذْتُ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ بِهِ، وَأَسَرْتُ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ عَمَالِيقَ وَقَضَيْتُ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD thy God in Gilgal.
| فَاخْتَارَ الْقَوْمُ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ أَفْضَلَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ لِتَقْرِيبِهَا ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ». | ٢١ |
22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams.
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «هَلْ يُسَرُّ الرَّبُّ بِالذَّبَائِحِ وَالْمُحْرَقَاتِ كَسُرُورِهِ بِالاسْتِمَاعِ إِلَى صَوْتِهِ؟ إِنَّ الاسْتِمَاعَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الذَّبِيحَةِ، وَالإِصْغَاءَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ شَحْمِ الْكِبَاشِ. | ٢٢ |
23 For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king.
| فَالتَّمَرُّدُ مُمَاثِلٌ لِخَطِيئَةِ الْعِرَافَةِ، وَالْعِنَادُ شَبِيهٌ بِشَرِّ عِبَادَةِ الْوَثَنِ وَالإِثْمِ. ولأَنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ فَقَدْ رَفَضَكَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ». | ٢٣ |
24 And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words; because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ لأَنِّي عَصَيْتُ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ وَوَصِيَّتَكَ، إِذْ خَشِيتُ الشَّعْبَ فَسَمِعْتُ لِقَوْلِهِمْ. | ٢٤ |
25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.
| فَاصْفَحِ الآنَ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِي وَارْجِعْ مَعِي لأَسْجُدَ لِلرَّبِّ» | ٢٥ |
26 And Samuel said to Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «لَنْ أَرْجِعَ مَعَكَ؛ لأَنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ رَفَضَكَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٢٦ |
27 And as Samuel turned about to depart, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
| وَاسْتَدَارَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِيَمْضِيَ، فَتَشَبَّثَ شَاوُلُ بِهُدْبِ جِبَّتِهِ، فَتَمَزَّقَ هُدْبُ الْجِبَّةِ. | ٢٧ |
28 And Samuel said to him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, [that is] better than thou.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ: «يُمَزِّقُ الرَّبُّ مَمْلَكَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْكَ وَيَهَبُهَا لِمَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ. | ٢٨ |
29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent.
| فَإِنَّ قُوَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ (أَيِ اللهِ) لَا يَكْذِبُ وَلا يَنْدَمُ. لَيْسَ هُوَ إِنْسَاناً حَتَّى يُغَيِّرَ رَأْيَهُ». | ٢٩ |
30 Then he said, I have sinned: [yet] honor me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ، وَلَكِنْ أَكْرِمْنِي أَمَامَ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِي وَأَمَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، وَعُدْ مَعِي لأَسْجُدَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ». | ٣٠ |
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshiped the LORD.
| فَانْطَلَقَ صَمُوئِيلُ مَعَ شَاوُلَ حَيْثُ سَجَدَ شَاوُلُ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٣١ |
32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came to him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «قَدِّمُوا إِلَيَّ أَجَاجَ مَلِكَ الْعَمَالِقَةِ». فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ أَجَاجُ فَرِحاً قَائِلاً لِنَفْسِهِ: «حَقّاً قَدْ تَلاشَتْ مَرَارَةُ الْمَوْتِ». | ٣٢ |
33 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ: «كَمَا أَثْكَلَ سَيْفُكَ النِّسَاءَ لِتُثْكَلْ كَذَلِكَ أُمُّكَ بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ». وَقَطَّعَ صَمُوئِيلُ أَجَاجَ إِرْباً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ. | ٣٣ |
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
| ثُمَّ مَضَى صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى الرَّامَةِ، أَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَتَوجَّهَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فِي جِبْعَةِ شَاوُلَ. | ٣٤ |
35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
| وَامْتَنَعَ صَمُوئِيلُ عَنْ رُؤْيَةِ شَاوُلَ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّ قَلْبَهُ تَمَزَّقَ أَسىً عَلَيْهِ. أَمَّا الرَّبُّ فَقَدْ أَسِفَ لأَنَّهُ أَقَامَ شَاوُلَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٥ |
