1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
| وَحَارَبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ، فَقُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ جَمْعٌ غَفِيرٌ وَهَرَبَ الْبَاقُونَ. | ١ |
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
| وَتَعَقَّبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ، فَقَتَلُوا مِنْهُمْ يُونَاثَانَ وَأَبِينَادَابَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ. | ٢ |
3 And the battle was severe against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was severely wounded by the archers.
| وَاشْتَدَّتِ الْمَعْرَكَةُ حَوْلَ شَاوُلَ، وَأَثْخَنَ رُمَاةُ السِّهَامِ شَاوُلَ بِالْجِرَاحِ. | ٣ |
4 Then said Saul to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised should come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was exceedingly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِحَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ: «اسْتَلَّ سَيْفَكَ وَاقْتُلْنِي بِهِ، لِئَلّا يَأْتِيَ هَؤُلاءِ الْغُلْفُ وَيَطْعَنُونِي وَيُشَوِّهُونِي». فَأَبَى حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ الانْصِيَاعَ لِطَلَبِ سَيِّدِهِ خَوْفاً، فَأَخَذَ شَاوُلُ السَّيْفَ وَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ. | ٤ |
5 And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَ حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ أَنَّ شَاوُلَ قَدْ مَاتَ، وَقَعَ هُوَ أَيْضاً عَلَى سَيْفِهِ وَمَاتَ. | ٥ |
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
| وَهَكَذَا مَاتَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ شَاوُلُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ الثَّلاثَةُ وَحَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِهِ مَعاً. | ٦ |
7 And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side of Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
| وَحِينَ رَأَى رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُقِيمِينَ عَلَى مُحَاذَاةِ الْوَادِي وَعَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ أَنَّ جَيْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ هَرَبَ، وَأَنَّ شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ قَدْ مَاتُوا، هَجَرُوا الْمُدُنَ وَفَرُّوا. فَأَتَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَسَكَنُوا فِيهَا. | ٧ |
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
| وَعِنْدَمَا جَاءَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي لِيَسْلُبُوا الْقَتْلَى عَثَرُوا عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَعَلَى أَبْنَائِهِ الثَّلاثَةِ صَرْعَى فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ، | ٨ |
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among the people.
| فَقَطَعُوا رَأْسَ شَاوُلَ وَنَزَعُوا سِلاحَهُ، وَبَعَثُوا يُبَشِّرُونَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ بِلادِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَفِي مَعَابِدِهِمْ وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِهِمْ. | ٩ |
10 And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
| وَوَضَعُوا سِلاحَهُ فِي مَعْبَدِ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَسَمَّرُوا جَسَدَهُ عَلَى سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ. | ١٠ |
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
| وَحِينَ بَلَغَ أَهْلَ يَابِيشَ جِلْعَادَ مَا فَعَلَهُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بِجُثَّةِ شَاوُلَ، | ١١ |
12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
| هَبَّ كُلُّ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الصَّنَادِيدِ وَسَارُوا اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ، وَأَنْزَلُوا جُثَّةَ شَاوُلَ وَجُثَثَ أَبْنَائِهِ عَنْ سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ، وَنَقَلُوهَا إِلَى يَابِيشَ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا هُنَاكَ. | ١٢ |
13 And they took their bones, and buried [them] under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
| ثُمَّ جَمَعُوا عِظَامَهُمْ وَدَفَنُوهَا تَحْتَ الأَثْلَةِ فِي يَابِيشَ، وَصَامُوا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٣ |
