1 Samuel 7
1 The men of Kiriath Jearim came and took the LORD’s ark, and brought it into Abinadab’s house on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the LORD’s ark.
| وَجَاءَ أَهْلُ يَعَارِيمَ وَأَخَذُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ حَيْثُ وَضَعُوهُ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى التَّلِّ، وَكَرَّسُوا أَلِعَازَارَ ابْنَهُ لِيَقُومَ عَلَى حِرَاسَةِ التَّابُوتِ. | ١ |
2 From the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, the time was long—for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
| وَطَالَتْ مُدَّةُ بَقَاءِ التَّابُوتِ فِي قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ، إِذِ انْقَضَتْ عِشْرُونَ سَنَةً عَلَيْهِ هُنَاكَ. تَابَ فِيهَا كُلُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ نَائِحِينَ. | ٢ |
3 Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from amongst you, and direct your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِكُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «إِنْ كُنْتُمْ حَقّاً قَدْ تُبْتُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، فَانْزِعُوا الآلِهَةَ الْغَرِيبَةَ وَأَصْنَامَ الْعَشْتَارُوثِ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ، وَهَيِّئُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ وَاعْبُدُوهُ وَحْدَهُ، فَيُنْقِذَكُمْ مَنْ قَبْضَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». | ٣ |
4 Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
| فَتَخَلَّصَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْبَعْلِيمِ وَأَصْنامِ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَعَبَدُوا الرَّبَّ وَحْدَهُ. | ٤ |
5 Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you.”
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «ادْعُوا كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلاجْتِمَاعِ فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ فَأُصَلِّيَ لأَجْلِكُمْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ». | ٥ |
6 They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, “We have sinned against the LORD.” Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
| فَاجْتَمَعُوا فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ حَيْثُ اسْتَقَوْا مَاءً وَسَكَبُوهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَصَامُوا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَائِلِينَ هُنَاكَ: «قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ». وَكَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ يَقْضِي لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ. | ٦ |
7 When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
| وَإِذْ سَمِعَ أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ بِتَجَمُّعِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ، احْتَشَدُوا لِمُحَارَبَتِهِمْ. وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ الْخَبَرُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اعْتَرَاهُمُ الْخَوْفُ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، | ٧ |
8 The children of Israel said to Samuel, “Don’t stop crying to the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.”
| وَقَالُوا لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «لا تَكُفَّ عَنِ التَّضَرُّعِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا مِنْ أَجْلِنَا حَتَّى يُخَلِّصَنَا مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». | ٨ |
9 Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to the LORD. Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.
| فَأَخَذَ صَمُوئِيلُ حَمَلاً رَضِيعاً، وَقَدَّمَهُ بِكَامِلِهِ مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ، وَتَضَرَّعَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِنْقَاذِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ. | ٩ |
10 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines came near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ يُقَدِّمُ الْمُحْرَقَةَ، أَقْبَلَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَطْلَقَ الرَّبُّ صَرْخَةً رَاعِدَةً عَظِيمَةً عَلَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَلْقَتْ فِيهِمِ الرُّعْبَ فَانْهَزَمُوا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ |
11 The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them until they came under Beth Kar.
| فَانْدَفَعَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْمِصْفَاةِ، وَتَعَقَّبُوهُمْ إِلَى مَا تَحْتَ بَيْتِ كَارٍ، وَقَضَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ. | ١١ |
12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “The LORD helped us until now.”
| فَأَخَذَ صَمُوئِيلُ حَجَراً وَنَصَبَهُ بَيْنَ الْمِصْفَاةِ وَالسِّنِّ، وَدَعَاهُ «حَجَرَ الْمَعُونَةِ» وَقَالَ: «إِلَى هُنَا أَعَانَنَا الرَّبُّ» | ١٢ |
13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they stopped coming within the border of Israel. The LORD’s hand was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
| فَانْكَسَرَتْ شَوْكَةُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَلَمْ يَجْرُؤُوا عَلَى التَّعَدِّي عَلَى تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ كَانَتْ ضِدَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ طَوَالَ حَيَاةِ صَمُوئِيلَ. | ١٣ |
14 The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its border out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
| وَاسْتَرَدَّ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي اقْتَطَعَهَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ عَقْرُونَ إِلَى جَتَّ، وَاسْتَعَادُوا تُخُومَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. كَمَا عَقَدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مُعَاهَدَةَ صُلْحٍ مَعَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ. | ١٤ |
15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
| وَظَلَّ صَمُوئِيلُ قَاضِياً لإِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، | ١٥ |
16 He went from year to year in a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.
| فَكَانَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ يَنْتَقِلُ بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَالْجِلْجَالِ وَالْمِصْفَاةِ لِيَعْقِدَ مَجْلِسَ قَضَائِهِ فِيهَا، | ١٦ |
17 His return was to Ramah, for his house was there, and he judged Israel there; and he built an altar to the LORD there.
| ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ لِلرَّامَةِ حَيْثُ يُقِيمُ، وَهُنَاكَ يَقْضِي لإِسْرَائِيلَ، كَمَا بَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٧ |
