< 1 Samuel 19 >

1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.
وَحَضَّ شَاوُلُ ابْنَهُ يُونَاثَانَ وَسَائِرَ حَاشِيَتِهِ عَلَى قَتْلِ دَاوُدَ،١
2 But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now, therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret [place], and hide thyself:
وَلَكِنَّ يُونَاثَانَ بْنَ شَاوُلَ، الَّذِي كَانَ مُعْجَباً جِدّاً بِدَاوُدَ، أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: «أَبِي يَلْتَمِسُ قَتْلَكَ، فَاحْتَرِسْ لِنَفْسِكَ فِي الْغَدِ وَاخْتَبِئْ،٢
3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou [art], and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.
وَأَنَا أَخْرُجُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى الْحَقْلِ الَّذِي تَخْتَبِئُ فِيهِ، وَأُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْكَ ثُمَّ أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَا يَكُونُ».٣
4 And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works [have been] toward thee very good:
وَرَاحَ يُونَاثَانُ يُثْنِي عَلَى دَاوُدَ أَمَامَ أَبِيهِ وَتَسَاءَلَ: «لِمَاذَا يُسِيءُ الْمَلِكُ إِلَى عَبْدِهِ دَاوُدَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ إِلَيْكَ، وَمَآثِرُهُ عَظِيمَةٌ جِدّاً؟٤
5 For he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest [it], and didst rejoice: Why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
لَقَدْ عَرَّضَ حَيَاتَهُ لِلْخَطَرِ عِنْدَمَا قَتَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ، فَأَجْرَى الرَّبُّ خَلاصاً عَظِيماً لِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَقَدْ شَهِدْتَ ذَلِكَ وَابْتَهَجْتَ بِهِ. فَلِمَاذَا تَقْتُلُ دَاوُدَ مِنْ غَيْرِ دَاعٍ وَتُسِيءُ إِلَى دَمٍ بَرِيءٍ؟»٥
6 And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, [As] the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.
فَاقْتَنَعَ شَاوُلُ بِكَلامِ يُونَاثَانَ، وَقَالَ: «أُقْسِمُ بِاللهِ الْحَيِّ، لَنْ يُقْتَلَ دَاوُدُ».٦
7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
فَاسْتَدْعَى يُونَاثَانُ دَاوُدَ وَأَطْلَعَهُ عَلَى مَا دَارَ مِنْ حَدِيثٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى شَاوُلَ، فَمَثُلَ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ كَمَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ مِنْ قَبْلُ.٧
8 And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.
وَعَادَتِ الْحَرْبُ تَنْشَبُ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ، فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَهَزَمَهُمْ هَزِيمَةً مُنْكَرَةً، فَلاذُوا بِالْفِرَارِ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ.٨
9 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with [his] hand.
وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ كَانَ دَاوُدُ يَعْزِفُ لِشَاوُلَ، فَهَاجَمَ الرُّوحُ الرَّدِيءُ شَاوُلَ مِنْ لَدَى الرَّبِّ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَرُمْحُهُ بِيَدِهِ.٩
10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away from Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
فَصَوَّبَ الرُّمْحَ نَحْوَ دَاوُدَ وَرَمَاهُ بِهِ لِيَطْعَنَهُ وَيُسَمِّرَهُ إِلَى الْحَائِطِ، فَتَفَادَى دَاوُدُ الضَّرْبَةَ، وَهَرَبَ مِنْ أَمَامِ شَاوُلَ نَاجِياً بِحَيَاتِهِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ، أَمَّا الرُّمْحُ فَغَاصَ فِي الْحَائِطِ.١٠
11 Saul also sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, If thou dost not save thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be slain.
فَأَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ مُرَاقِبِينَ إِلَى بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ يَتَرَصَّدُونَهُ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ. فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ مِيكَالُ قَائِلَةً: «إِذَا لَمْ تَنْجُ بِنَفْسِكَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ فَإِنَّكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ تُقْتَلُ غَداً».١١
12 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
وَدَلَّتْهُ مِيكَالُ مِنَ النَّافِذَةِ، فَانْطَلَقَ هَارِباً وَنَجَا.١٢
13 And Michal took an image, and laid [it] in the bed, and put a pillow of goat's [hair] for his bolster, and covered [it] with a cloth.
ثُمَّ أَخَذَتْ مِيكَالُ تِمْثَالاً وَوَضَعَتْهُ فِي فِرَاشِهِ، وَوَضَعَتْ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ لُبْدَةً مِنْ شَعْرِ الْمِعْزَى وَغَطَّتْهُ بِثَوْبٍ.١٣
14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He [is] sick.
وَعِنْدَمَا أَرْسَلَ شَاوُلُ جُنُودَهُ لِلْقَبْضِ عَلَى دَاوُدَ قَالَتْ لَهُمْ مِيكَالُ: «إِنَّهُ مَرِيضٌ».١٤
15 And Saul sent the messengers [again] to see David, saying, Bring him to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
فَبَعَثَ شَاوُلُ الْجُنُودَ ثَانِيَةً لِيَرَوْا دَاوُدَ قَائِلاً: «ائْتُونِي بِهِ وَهُوَ فِي السَّرِيرِ لأَقْتُلَهُ».١٥
16 And when the messengers had come in, behold, [there was] an image in the bed, with a pillow of goat's [hair] for his bolster.
فَأَقْبَلَ الْجُنُودُ، وَإذَا فِي الْفِرَاشِ تِمْثَالٌ وَلُبْدَةٌ مِنْ شَعْرِ الْمِعْزَى تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ.١٦
17 And Saul said to Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away my enemy, that he has escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لاِبْنَتِهِ مِيكَالَ: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتِنِي فَأَطْلَقْتِ عَدُوِّي حَتَّى نَجَا؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «لَقَدْ تَوَعَّدَنِي قَائِلاً: أَطْلِقِينِي لِئَلّا أَقْتُلَكِ».١٧
18 So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
وَعِنْدَمَا هَرَبَ دَاوُدُ وَنَجَا بِحَيَاتِهِ جَاءَ إِلَى صَمُوئِيلَ فِي الرَّامَةِ وَأَطْلَعَهُ عَمَّا فَعَلَهُ بِهِ شَاوُلُ، وَصَحَبَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ وَمَضَيَا وَأَقَامَا مَعاً فِي نَايُوتَ.١٨
19 And it was told to Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] at Naioth in Ramah.
فَقِيلَ لِشَاوُلَ: «هُوَذَا دَاوُدُ فِي نَايُوتَ فِي الرَّامَةِ».١٩
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing [as] appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
فَبَعَثَ بِجُنُودٍ لِلْقَبْضِ عَلَيْهِ. وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا شَاهَدُوا جَمَاعَةَ الرَّبِّ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِرِئَاسَةِ صَمُوئِيلَ، حَلَّ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الْجُنُودِ فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً.٢٠
21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
فَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ بِالأَمْرِ، فَبَعَثَ بِجُنُودٍ آخَرِينَ فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً. ثُمَّ عَادَ شَاوُلُ فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْقَةً ثَالِثَةً فَتَنَبَّأُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً.٢١
22 Then he went also to Ramah, and came to a great well that [is] in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And [one] said, Behold, [they are] at Naioth in Ramah.
وَأَخِيراً ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ إِلَى الرَّامَةِ، حَتَّى وَصَلَ إِلَى الْبِئْرِ الْعَظِيمَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ سِيخُو وَسَأَلَ: «أَيْنَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَدَاوُدُ؟» فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُمَا فِي نَايُوتَ فِي الرَّامَةِ».٢٢
23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
فَمَضَى إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَلَكِنْ فِي أَثْنَاءِ الطَّرِيقِ حَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ، فَشَرَعَ يَتَنَبَّأُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ نَايُوتَ فِي الرَّامَةِ.٢٣
24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
فَخَلَعَ هُوَ أَيْضاً ثِيَابَهُ وَرَاحَ يَتَنَبَّأُ أَمَامَ صَمُوئِيلَ، ثُمَّ انْطَرَحَ عَارِياً طُولَ ذَلِكَ النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ، لِذَلِكَ قِيلَ: «أَشَاوُلُ أَيْضاً بَيْنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ؟».٢٤
