اول سموئیل 17
| فلسطینی‌ها لشکر خود را برای جنگ آماده کرده، در سوکوه که در یهودا است جمع شدند و در میان سوکوه و عزیقه، در اَفَس دمیم اردو زدند. | 1 |
Now the Philistines, gathering their troops for battle, assembled at Socoh of Judah. And they made camp between Socoh and Azekah, within the borders of Dammim.
| شائول و مردان اسرائیل نیز در درهٔ ایلاه جمع شده، در مقابل فلسطینی‌ها صف‌آرایی کردند. | 2 |
But Saul and the sons of Israel, having gathered together, went to the Valley of Terebinth. And they positioned the army so as to fight against the Philistines.
| به این ترتیب، نیروهای فلسطینی و اسرائیلی در دو طرف دره در مقابل هم قرار گرفتند. | 3 |
And the Philistines were standing on a mountain on the one side, and Israel was standing on a mountain on the other side. And there was a valley between them.
| از اردوی فلسطینی‌ها، پهلوانی از اهالی جَت به نام جُلیات برای مبارزه با اسرائیلی‌ها بیرون آمد. قد او به سه متر می‌رسید و کلاهخودی مفرغین بر سر و زره‌ای مفرغین بر تن داشت. وزن زره‌اش در حدود پنجاه و هفت کیلو بود. پاهایش با ساق بندهای مفرغین پوشیده شده و زوبین مفرغین بر پشتش آویزان بود. چوب نیزه‌اش به کلفتی چوب نساجان بود. سر نیزهٔ آهنی او حدود هفت کیلو وزن داشت. یک سرباز جلوی او راه می‌رفت و سپر او را حمل می‌کرد. | 4 |
And there went out from the camp of the Philistines, a man of illegitimate birth, named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a palm.
| 5 |
And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a breastplate of scales. Moreover, the weight of his breastplate was five thousand shekels of brass.
| 6 |
And he had plates of brass on his lower legs, and a small shield of brass was covering his shoulders.
| 7 |
Now the shaft of his spear was like the beam used by a weaver. And the iron of his spear held six hundred shekels of iron. And his armor bearer went before him.
| جُلیات ایستاد و اسرائیلی‌ها را صدا زده، گفت: «چرا برای جنگ صف‌آرایی کرده‌اید؟ ای نوکران شائول، من از طرف فلسطینی‌ها آمده‌ام. پس یک نفر را از طرف خود انتخاب کنید و به میدان بفرستید تا با هم مبارزه کنیم. | 8 |
And standing still, he cried out to the battle lines of Israel, and he said to them: “Why have you arrived, prepared for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose one man from among you, and let him descend to do battle alone.
| اگر او توانست مرا شکست داده بکشد، آنگاه سربازان ما تسلیم می‌شوند. اما اگر من او را کشتم، شما باید تسلیم شوید. | 9 |
If he is able to fight with me and to strike me down, we will be your servants. But if I will prevail over him, and strike him down, you will be the servants, and you will serve us.”
| من امروز نیروهای اسرائیل را به مبارزه می‌طلبم! یک مرد به میدان بفرستید تا با من بجنگد!» | 10 |
And the Philistine was saying: “I have reproached the troops of Israel today. Present a man to me, and let him undertake a fight against me alone.”
| وقتی شائول و سپاهیان اسرائیل این را شنیدند، بسیار ترسیدند. | 11 |
And Saul and all the Israelites, hearing these words of the Philistine in this manner, were stupefied and exceedingly afraid.
| داوود هفت برادر بزرگتر از خود داشت. یَسا، پدر داوود که اینک پیر و سالخورده شده بود، از اهالی افراته واقع در بیت‌لحم یهودا بود. | 12 |
Now David was the son of an Ephrathite man, the one mentioned above, from Bethlehem of Judah, whose name was Jesse. He had eight sons, and during the days of Saul, he was an elderly man, and of great age among men.
| سه برادر بزرگتر داوود الیاب، ابیناداب و شماه بودند که همراه شائول به جنگ رفته بودند. | 13 |
Now his three eldest sons followed Saul into battle. And the names of his three sons, who went to the battle, were Eliab, the firstborn, and the second, Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
| داوود کوچکترین پسر یَسا بود و گاهی از نزد شائول به بیت‌لحم می‌رفت تا گوسفندان پدرش را بچراند. | 14 |
But David was the youngest. Therefore, when the three eldest had followed Saul,
| 15 |
David went away from Saul, and he returned, so that he might pasture the flock of his father at Bethlehem.
| آن فلسطینی، هر روز صبح و عصر به مدت چهل روز به میدان می‌آمد و در مقابل اسرائیلی‌ها رجزخوانی می‌کرد. | 16 |
Truly, the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and he stood forth, for forty days.
| روزی یَسا به داوود گفت: «این ده کیلو غله برشته و ده نان را بگیر و برای برادرانت به اردوگاه ببر. | 17 |
Now Jesse said to his son David: “Take, for your brothers, an ephah of cooked grain, and these ten loaves, and hurry to the camp, to your brothers.
| این ده تکه پنیر را هم به فرمانده شان بده و بپرس که حال برادرانت چطور است و خبر سلامتی ایشان را برای ما بیاور. | 18 |
And you shall carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune. And visit your brothers, to see if they are doing well. And learn with whom they have been stationed.”
| آنها همراه شائول و جنگجویان اسرائیل در درهٔ ایلاه علیه فلسطینی‌ها می‌جنگند.» | 19 |
But they were in the valley of Terebinth, with Saul and all the sons of Israel, fighting against the Philistines.
| داوود صبح زود برخاست و گوسفندان پدرش را به دست چوپانی دیگر سپرد و خود آذوقه را برداشته، عازم اردوگاه اسرائیل شد. او درست همان موقعی که سپاه اسرائیل با فریاد و شعار جنگی عازم میدان نبرد بودند به کنار اردوگاه رسید. | 20 |
And so, David rose up in the morning, and he commended the flock to the caretaker. And he went away burdened, just as Jesse had instructed him. And he went to the place of the battle line, and to the army, which, in going out to fight, was shouting in the conflict.
| طولی نکشید که نیروهای متخاصم در مقابل یکدیگر قرار گرفتند. | 21 |
For Israel had positioned their troops, but the Philistines also had prepared themselves against them.
| داوود آنچه را که با خود داشت به افسر تدارکات تحویل داد و به میان سپاهیان آمد و برادرانش را پیدا کرده، از احوال آنها جویا شد. | 22 |
Then, leaving the items that he had brought under the hand of the keeper of baggage, David ran to the place of the conflict. And he was asking if all was going well with his brothers.
| داوود در حالی که با برادرانش صحبت می‌کرد، چشمش به آن پهلوان فلسطینیِ جَتی که نامش جُلیات بود، افتاد. او از لشکر فلسطینی‌ها بیرون آمده، مثل دفعات پیش مشغول رجزخوانی بود. | 23 |
And while he was still speaking with them, there appeared the man of spurious descent, whose name was Goliath, the Philistine of Gath, ascending from the camp of the Philistines. And he was speaking in these same words, which David heard.
| اسرائیلی‌ها چون او را دیدند از ترس پا به فرار گذاشتند. | 24 |
Then all the Israelites, when they had seen the man, fled from his face, fearing him greatly.
| آنها به یکدیگر می‌گفتند: «ببینید این مرد چطور ما را به عذاب آورده است! پادشاه به کسی که او را بکشد پاداش بزرگی خواهد داد. دخترش را هم به عقد او در خواهد آورد و خانواده‌اش را نیز از پرداخت مالیات معاف خواهد کرد.» | 25 |
And someone of Israel said: “Have you seen this man, who has risen up. For he ascended in order to reproach Israel. Therefore, the man who will strike him down, the king will enrich with great wealth, and will give to him his daughter, and will cause his father’s house to be free of tribute in Israel.”
| داوود به کسانی که در آنجا ایستاده بودند، گفت: «این فلسطینی بت‌پرست کیست که اینچنین به سپاهیان خدای زنده توهین می‌کند! به کسی که این پهلوان را بکشد و اسرائیل را از این رسوایی برهاند چه پاداشی داده می‌شود؟» | 26 |
And David spoke to the men who were standing with him, saying: “What will be given to the man who will have struck down this Philistine, and who will have taken away the disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should reproach the soldiers of the living God?”
| آنها به او گفتند که چه پاداشی داده خواهد شد. | 27 |
Then the people repeated to him the same words, saying, “These things shall be given to the man who will have struck him down.”
| اما چون الیاب، برادر بزرگ داوود گفتگوی او را با آن مردان شنید، خشمگین شد و به داوود گفت: «تو در اینجا چه می‌کنی؟ چه کسی از آن چند گوسفند در صحرا مراقبت می‌کند؟ من از گستاخی و شرارت تو خبر دارم؛ تو به بهانهٔ تماشای میدان جنگ به اینجا آمده‌ای!» | 28 |
Now when Eliab, his eldest brother, had heard this, as he was speaking with the others, he became angry against David, and he said: “Why did you come here? And why did you leave behind those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the wickedness of your heart, that you have come down so that you might see the battle.”
| داوود در جواب برادرش گفت: «مگر چه کرده‌ام؟ آیا حق حرف زدن هم ندارم؟» | 29 |
And David said: “What have I done? Is there any word against me?”
| بعد نزد عده‌ای دیگر رفت و از آنان نیز همان سؤال را کرد و همان پاسخ را شنید. | 30 |
And he turned away from him a little, toward another. And he asked the same question. And the people responded to him as before.
| وقتی صحبتهای داوود به گوش شائول رسید، او را به نزد خود احضار نمود. | 31 |
Now the words that David had spoken were heard and reported in the sight of Saul.
| داوود به شائول گفت: «هیچ نگران نباشید، این غلامتان می‌رود و با آن فلسطینی می‌جنگد.» | 32 |
When he had been led to Saul, he said to him: “Let no one lose heart over him. I, your servant, shall go and fight against the Philistine.”
| شائول گفت: «چگونه می‌توانی با او بجنگی؟ تو جوان و بی‌تجربه هستی، ولی او از زمان جوانی‌اش مرد جنگی بوده است.» | 33 |
And Saul said to David: “You are not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him. For you are a boy, but he has been a warrior from his boyhood.”
| اما داوود گفت: «وقتی من گلهٔ پدرم را می‌چرانم و شیری یا خرسی می‌آید تا بره‌ای از گله ببرد، | 34 |
And David said to Saul: “Your servant was pasturing the flock of his father. And there approached a lion or a bear, and it took a ram from the midst of the flock.
| دنبالش می‌کنم و بره را از دهانش می‌گیرم و اگر به من حمله کند، گلویش را می‌گیرم و آنقدر می‌زنم تا بمیرد. | 35 |
And I pursued after them, and I struck them, and I rescued from their mouth. And they rose up against me. And I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.
| غلامت هم شیر کشته است هم خرس. این فلسطینی بت‌پرست را هم که به سپاهیان خدای زنده توهین می‌کند مثل آنها خواهم کشت. | 36 |
For I, your servant, have killed both lion and bear. And so this uncircumcised Philistine, too, will be like one of them. Now I will go and take away the reproach of the people. For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who has dared to curse the army of the living God?”
| خداوند که مرا از دهان شیر و از چنگ خرس رهانید، از دست این مرد نیز نجات خواهد داد!» سرانجام شائول راضی شد و گفت: «بسیار خوب، برو. خداوند با تو باشد!» | 37 |
And David said, “The Lord who rescued me from the hand of the lion, and from the hand of the bear, he himself will free me from the hand of this Philistine.” Then Saul said to David, “Go, and may the Lord be with you.”
| پس شائول لباس جنگی خود را به او داد. داوود کلاهخود مفرغین را بر سر گذاشت و زره را بر تن کرد. سپس شمشیر را به کمر بست و چند قدم راه رفت تا آنها را امتحان کند، ولی دید به زحمت می‌تواند حرکت کند. او به شائول گفت: «به این لباسها عادت ندارم. با اینها نمی‌توانم راه بروم!» پس آنها را از تن خود بیرون آورد. | 38 |
And Saul clothed David with his garments. And he placed a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clothed him with a breastplate.
| 39 |
Then David, having girded his sword over his armor, began to see if he could walk in the armor. But he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: “I cannot move about in this way. For I am not used to it.” And he put them aside.
| آنگاه پنج سنگ صاف از کنار رودخانه برداشت و در کیسهٔ چوپانی خود گذاشت و چوبدستی و فلاخن را به دست گرفته، به سراغ آن فلسطینی رفت. | 40 |
And he took up his staff, which he held always in his hands. And he chose for himself five very smooth stones from the torrent. And he put them into the shepherd’s bag that he had with him. And he took up a sling in his hand. And he went out against the Philistine.
| جُلیات در حالی که سربازی سپر او را پیشاپیش وی حمل می‌کرد به داوود نزدیک شد. وقتی از نزدیک، داوود را برانداز کرد و دید که پسر ظریفی بیش نیست، او را مسخره کرد | 41 |
And the Philistine, advancing, went and drew near against David. And his armor bearer was before him.
| 42 |
And when the Philistine had seen and considered David, he despised him. For he was a youth, ruddy and of handsome appearance.
| و گفت: «مگر من سگم که با چوبدستی پیش من آمده‌ای؟» بعد به نام خدایان خود، داوود را نفرین کرد. | 43 |
And the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you approach against me with a staff?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
| سپس به داوود گفت: «جلو بیا تا گوشت بدنت را خوراک پرندگان و درندگان صحرا بکنم.» | 44 |
And he said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.”
| داوود گفت: «تو با شمشیر و نیزه و زوبین به جنگ من می‌آیی، اما من به نام خداوند لشکرهای آسمان یعنی خدای اسرائیل که تو به او توهین کرده‌ای با تو می‌جنگم. | 45 |
But David said to the Philistine: “You approach me with sword, and spear, and shield. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which you have reproached.
| امروز خداوند تو را به دست من خواهد داد و من سرت را خواهم برید، و لاشهٔ سپاهیانت را خوراک پرندگان و درندگان صحرا خواهم کرد. به این وسیله تمام مردم جهان خواهند دانست که در اسرائیل خدایی هست | 46 |
Today, the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down. And I will take your head from you. And today, I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth, so that all the earth may know that God is with Israel.
| و همهٔ کسانی که در اینجا هستند خواهند دید که خداوند برای پیروز شدن، نیازی به شمشیر و نیزه ندارد. زیرا جنگ از آنِ خداوند است و او شما را به دست ما تسلیم خواهد نمود!» | 47 |
And this entire assembly will know that the Lord does not save by sword, nor by spear. For this is his war, and he will deliver you into our hands.”
| داوود وقتی دید جُلیات نزدیک می‌شود، به سرعت به طرف او دوید و دست به داخل کیسه‌اش برد و سنگی برداشته، در فلاخن گذاشت و به طرف جلیات نشانه رفت. سنگ درست به پیشانی جلیات فرو رفت و او را نقش زمین ساخت. | 48 |
Then, when the Philistine had risen up, and was approaching, and was drawing near against David, David hurried and ran to the fight against the Philistine.
| 49 |
And he put his hand into his bag, and took out one stone. And swinging it around, he cast it with the sling and struck the Philistine on the forehead. And the stone became imbedded in his forehead. And he fell on his face, upon the ground.
| بدین ترتیب داوود با یک فلاخن و یک سنگ، آن فلسطینی را کشت و چون شمشیری در دست نداشت، دویده، شمشیر او را از غلافش بیرون کشید و با آن سرش را از تن جدا کرد. فلسطینی‌ها چون پهلوان خود را کشته دیدند، برگشته پا به فرار گذاشتند. | 50 |
And David prevailed against the Philistine with a sling and a stone. And he struck and killed the Philistine. But since David held no sword in his hand,
| 51 |
he ran and stood over the Philistine, and he took his sword, and withdrew it from the sheath. And he killed him and cut off his head. Then the Philistines, seeing that their strongest man was dead, fled away.
| مردان اسرائیل و یهودا وقتی وضع را چنین دیدند، بر فلسطینی‌ها یورش بردند و تا جت و دروازه‌های عقرون آنها را تعقیب کرده، کشتند به طوری که سراسر جاده‌ای که به شعریم می‌رود از لاشه‌های فلسطینی‌ها پر شد. | 52 |
And the men of Israel and Judah, rising up, shouted and pursued after the Philistines, even until they arrived at the valley and as far as the gates of Ekron. And many wounded among the Philistines fell on the way of Shaaraim, and as far as Gath, and as far as Ekron.
| بعد اسرائیلی‌ها برگشته، اردوگاه فلسطینی‌ها را غارت کردند. | 53 |
And the sons of Israel, returning after they had pursued the Philistines, invaded their camp.
| داوود هم سرِ بریدهٔ جُلیات را به اورشلیم برد، ولی اسلحهٔ او را در خیمهٔ خود نگاه داشت. | 54 |
Then David, taking up the head of the Philistine, brought it to Jerusalem. Yet truly, he placed his armor in his own tent.
| وقتی داوود به جنگ جُلیات می‌رفت، شائول از ابنیر، فرماندهٔ سپاه خود پرسید: «این جوان کیست؟» ابنیر پاسخ داد: «به جان تو قسم نمی‌دانم.» | 55 |
Now at the time that Saul had seen David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner, the leader of the military, “From what stock is this youth descended, Abner?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.”
| شائول گفت: «پس برو و ببین این پسر کیست.» | 56 |
And the king said, “You shall inquire as to whose son this boy may be.”
| بعد از آنکه داوود، جُلیات را کشت، ابنیر او را، در حالی که سر جُلیات در دستش بود، نزد شائول آورد. | 57 |
And when David had returned, after the Philistine had been struck down, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul, having the head of the Philistine in his hand.
| شائول از او پرسید: «ای جوان، تو پسر کیستی؟» داوود پاسخ داد: «پسر غلامت یَسای بیت‌لحمی.» | 58 |
And Saul said to him, “Young man, from what ancestry are you?” And David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.”
