1 Samuel 28
1 In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the army, you and your men.”
| فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ حَشَدَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ جُيُوشَهُمْ لِمُحَارَبَةِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِدَاوُدَ: «لابُدَّ أَنْ تَنْضَمَّ إِلَى الْجَيْشِ أَنْتَ وَرِجَالُكَ لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ». | ١ |
2 David said to Achish, “Therefore you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever.”
| فَأَجَابَهُ دَاوُدُ: «سَتَرَى بِعَيْنَيْكَ مَا يَصْنَعُ عَبْدُكَ فِي الْحَرْبِ». فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِدَاوُدَ: «إِذَنْ أَجْعَلُكَ حَارِسِي الشَّخْصِيَّ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ». | ٢ |
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had sent away those who had familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land.
| وَكَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ قَدْ مَاتَ وَنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي الرَّامَةِ مَدِينَتِهِ، وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ قَدْ طَرَدَ الْعَرَّافِينَ وَوُسَطَاءَ الْجِنِّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ. | ٣ |
4 The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
| وَعِنْدَمَا تَجَمَّعَتْ قُوَّاتُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ عَسْكَرُوا فِي شُونَمَ، أَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَقَدْ حَشَدَ جُيُوشَهُ وَخَيَّمَ فِي جِلْبُوعَ. | ٤ |
5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
| وَحِينَ شَاهَدَ شَاوُلُ جَيْشَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مَلأَ قَلْبَهُ الْخَوْفُ وَالاضْطِرَابُ، | ٥ |
6 When Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD didn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.
| فَاسْتَشَارَ الرَّبَّ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ لَا بِأَحْلامٍ وَلا بِالأُورِيمِ وَلا عَنْ طَرِيقِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ. | ٦ |
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.”
| فَقَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «ابْحَثُوا لِي عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ عَرَّافَةٍ وَسِيطَةٍ، فَأَذْهَبَ إِلَيْهَا وَأَسْتَشِيرَهَا». فَأَجَابَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «هُنَاكَ عَرَّافَةٌ تُقِيمُ فِي عَيْنِ دُورٍ». | ٧ |
8 Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said, “Please consult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.”
| فَتَنَكَّرَ شَاوُلُ وَارْتَدَى ثِيَاباً أُخْرَى وَتَوَجَّهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْعَرَّافَةِ لَيْلاً بِصُحْبَةِ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ رِجَالِهِ، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «اسْتَشِيرِي لِي رُوحاً، وَاسْتَدْعِي لِي مَنْ أُسَمِّيهِ لَكِ». | ٨ |
9 The woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ: «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ مَا فَعَلَهُ شَاوُلُ بِالْوُسَطَاءِ الرُّوحَانِيِّينَ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ، وَكَيْفَ قَتَلَهُمْ، فَلِمَاذَا تَنْصِبُ لِي فَخّاً وَتَقْتُلُنِي؟» | ٩ |
10 Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, “As the LORD lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”
| فَأَقْسَمَ لَهَا شَاوُلُ قَائِلاً: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ لَنْ يَلْحَقَ بِكِ أَيُّ أَذىً مِنْ جَرَّاءِ هَذَا الأَمْرِ». | ١٠ |
11 Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up to you?” He said, “Bring Samuel up for me.”
| فَسَأَلَتْهُ الْمَرْأَةُ: «مَنْ أَسْتَدْعِي لَكَ؟» فَأَجَابَهَا: «اسْتَدْعِي لِي صَمُوئِيلَ». | ١١ |
12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ صَمُوئِيلَ صَرَخَتْ صَرْخَةً هَائِلَةً وَقَالَتْ لِشَاوُلَ: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتَنِي وَأَنْتَ شَاوُلُ؟» | ١٢ |
13 The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «لا تَخَافِي. مَاذَا رَأَيْتِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «رَأَيْتُ طَيْفاً صَاعِداً مِنَ الأَرْضِ» | ١٣ |
14 He said to her, “What does he look like?” She said, “An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.
| فَسَأَلَهَا: «كَيْفَ هَيْئَتُهُ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «رَجُلٌ شَيْخٌ صَاعِدٌ وَهُوَ مُغَطَّى بِجُبَّةٍ». فَأَدْرَكَ شَاوُلُ أَنَّهُ صَمُوئِيلُ فَخَرَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ سَاجِداً. | ١٤ |
15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?” Saul answered, “I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, by prophets, or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.”
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لِمَاذَا أَزْعَجْتَنِي بِإِصْعَادِكَ لِي؟». فَأَجَابَ: «إِنَّنِي فِي ضِيقٍ شَدِيدٍ. الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي وَالرَّبُّ قَدْ نَبَذَنِي وَلَمْ يَعُدْ يُجِيبُنِي لَا عَنْ طَرِيقِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَلا بِالأَحْلامِ. فَدَعَوْتُكَ لِتُرْشِدَنِي». | ١٥ |
16 Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has departed from you and has become your adversary?
| فَسَأَلَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنِي وَالرَّبُّ قَدْ نَبَذَكَ وَصَارَ لَكَ عَدُوّاً؟ | ١٦ |
17 The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, even to David.
| وَقَدْ حَقَّقَ الرَّبُّ مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِي، فَانْتَزَعَ مِنْكَ الْمُلْكَ وَأَعْطَاهُ لِقَرِيبِكَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٧ |
18 Because you didn’t obey the LORD’s voice, and didn’t execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you today.
| لأَنَّكَ لَمْ تُطِعْ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ وَلَمْ تُنَفِّذْ قَضَاءَهُ فِي عَمَالِيقَ، لِذَلِكَ عَاقَبَكَ الرَّبُّ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، | ١٨ |
19 Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”
| وَسَيَجْعَلُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يَهْزِمُونَكَ أَنْتَ وَالإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، وَيَقْضُونَ عَلَى جَيْشِكَ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ فَسَتَلْحَقُونَ غَداً بِي وَتَكُونُونَ مَعِي». | ١٩ |
20 Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of Samuel’s words. There was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all day long or all night long.
| فَانْطَرَحَ شَاوُلُ بِطُولِهِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مَرْعُوباً مِنْ كَلامِ صَمُوئِيلَ، كَمَا زَادَ الْجُوعُ مِنْ إِعْيَائِهِ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ تَنَاوَلَ طَعَاماً طَوَالَ يَوْمٍ بِكَامِلِهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 The woman came to Saul and saw that he was very troubled, and said to him, “Behold, your servant has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مَا أَصَابَ شَاوُلَ مِنِ ارْتِيَاعٍ شَدِيدٍ، قَالَتْ لَهُ: «هَا قَدْ سَمِعَتْ جَارِيَتُكَ لِصَوْتِكَ، وَحَمَلْتُ رُوحِي فِي كَفِّي وَاسْتَجَبْتُ لِكُلِّ مَا طَلَبْتَهُ مِنِّي. | ٢١ |
22 Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you. Eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.”
| فَالآنَ اسْتَمِعْ أَنْتَ أَيْضاً لِسُؤْلِ جَارِيَتِكَ، وَدَعْنِي أُقَدِّمُ لَكَ طَعَاماً لِتَأْكُلَ، فَتَسْتَرِدَّ قُوَّتَكَ عِنْدَمَا تَنْطَلِقُ فِي سَبِيلِكَ». | ٢٢ |
23 But he refused, and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth and sat on the bed.
| فَأَبَى قَائِلاً: «لَنْ آكُلَ». وَلَكِنَّهَا أَلَحَّتْ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدَاهُ، فَأَذْعَنَ لَهُمْ وَقَامَ عَنِ الأَرْضِ وَجَلَسَ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ. | ٢٣ |
24 The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.
| وَكَانَ لَدَى الْمَرْأَةِ عِجْلٌ مُسَمَّنٌ فَبَادَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَذَبَحَتْهُ وَأَخَذَتْ دَقِيقاً وَعَجَنَتْهُ وَخَبَزَتْ فَطِيراً. | ٢٤ |
25 She brought it before Saul and before his servants, and they ate. Then they rose up and went away that night.
| ثُمَّ وَضَعَتْهُ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ وَرَجُلَيْهِ فَأَكَلُوا، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا مِنْ عِنْدِهَا فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ. | ٢٥ |
