1 Samuel 21
1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said to him, Why [art] thou alone, and no man with thee?
| فَجَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى نُوبٍ إِلَى أَخِيمَالِكَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، فَٱضْطَرَبَ أَخِيمَالِكُ عِنْدَ لِقَاءِ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ وَلَيْسَ مَعَكَ أَحَدٌ؟». | ١ |
2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said to me, Let no man know any thing of the business about which I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed [my] servants to such and such a place.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَخِيمَالِكَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ: «إِنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ أَمَرَنِي بِشَيْءٍ وَقَالَ لِي: لَا يَعْلَمْ أَحَدٌ شَيْئًا مِنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُكَ فِيهِ وَأَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْغِلْمَانُ فَقَدْ عَيَّنْتُ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ ٱلْفُلَانِيَّ وَٱلْفُلَانِيَّ. | ٢ |
3 Now therefore what is under thy hand? give [me] five [loaves of] bread in my hand, or what there is present.
| وَٱلْآنَ فَمَاذَا يُوجَدُ تَحْتَ يَدِكَ؟ أَعْطِ خَمْسَ خُبْزَاتٍ فِي يَدِي أَوِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَ». | ٣ |
4 And the priest answered David, and said, [There is] no common bread under my hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
| فَأَجَابَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: «لَا يُوجَدُ خُبْزٌ مُحَلَّلٌ تَحْتَ يَدِي، وَلَكِنْ يُوجَدُ خُبْزٌ مُقَدَّسٌ إِذَا كَانَ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ قَدْ حَفِظُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لَا سِيَّمَا مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ». | ٤ |
5 And David answered the priest, and said to him, Of a truth women [have been] kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and [the bread is] in a manner common, yes, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
| فَأَجَابَ دَاوُدُ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ ٱلنِّسَاءَ قَدْ مُنِعَتْ عَنَّا مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِي، وَأَمْتِعَةُ ٱلْغِلْمَانِ مُقَدَّسَةٌ. وَهُوَ عَلَى نَوْعٍ مُحَلَّلٌ، وَٱلْيَوْمَ أَيْضًا يَتَقَدَّسُ بِٱلْآنِيَةِ». | ٥ |
6 So the priest gave him hallowed [bread]: for there was no bread there but the show-bread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
| فَأَعْطَاهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُنَاكَ خُبْزٌ إِلَّا خُبْزَ ٱلْوُجُوهِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعَ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِكَيْ يُوضَعَ خُبْزٌ سُخْنٌ فِي يَوْمِ أَخْذِهِ. | ٦ |
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul [was] there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name [was] Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdmen that [belonged] to Saul.
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عَبِيدِ شَاوُلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَحْصُورًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱسْمُهُ دُوَاغُ ٱلْأَدُومِيُّ رَئِيسُ رُعَاةِ شَاوُلَ. | ٧ |
8 And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand a spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَخِيمَالِكَ: «أَفَمَا يُوجَدُ هُنَا تَحْتَ يَدِكَ رُمْحٌ أَوْ سَيْفٌ، لِأَنِّي لَمْ آخُذْ بِيَدِي سَيْفِي وَلَا سِلَاحِي لِأَنَّ أَمْرَ ٱلْمَلِكِ كَانَ مُعَجِّلًا؟». | ٨ |
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it [is here] wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take [it]: for [there is] no other save that here. And David said, [There is] none like that; give it to me.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ: «إِنَّ سَيْفَ جُلْيَاتَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ ٱلَّذِي قَتَلْتَهُ فِي وَادِي ٱلْبُطْمِ، هَا هُوَ مَلْفُوفٌ فِي ثَوْبٍ خَلْفَ ٱلْأَفُودِ، فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَهُ فَخُذْهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ آخَرُ سِوَاهُ هُنَا». فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «لَا يُوجَدُ مِثْلُهُ، أَعْطِنِي إِيَّاهُ». | ٩ |
10 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
| وَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَهَرَبَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِنْ أَمَامِ شَاوُلَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى أَخِيشَ مَلِكِ جَتَّ. | ١٠ |
11 And the servants of Achish said to him, [Is] not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
| فَقَالَ عَبِيدُ أَخِيشَ لَهُ: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا دَاوُدَ مَلِكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ أَلَيْسَ لِهَذَا كُنَّ يُغَنِّينَ فِي ٱلرَّقْصِ قَائِلَاتٍ: ضَرَبَ شَاوُلُ أُلُوفَهُ وَدَاوُدُ رِبْوَاتِهِ؟». | ١١ |
12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was greatly afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
| فَوَضَعَ دَاوُدُ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَخَافَ جِدًّا مِنْ أَخِيشَ مَلِكِ جَتَّ. | ١٢ |
13 And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
| فَغَيَّرَ عَقْلَهُ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ، وَتَظَاهَرَ بِٱلْجُنُونِ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَأَخَذَ يُخَرْبِشُ عَلَى مَصَارِيعِ ٱلْبَابِ وَيُسِيلُ رِيقَهُ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ. | ١٣ |
14 Then said Achish to his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: why [then] have ye brought him to me?
| فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «هُوَذَا تَرَوْنَ ٱلرَّجُلَ مَجْنُونًا، فَلِمَاذَا تَأْتُونَ بِهِ إِلَيَّ؟ | ١٤ |
15 Have I need of mad-men, that ye have brought this [man] to play the mad-man in my presence? shall this [man] come into my house?
| أَلَعَلِّي مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى مَجَانِينَ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُمْ بِهَذَا لِيَتَجَنَّنَ عَلَيَّ؟ أَهَذَا يَدْخُلُ بَيْتِي؟». | ١٥ |
