اول سموئیل 30
| بعد از سه روز، داوود و افرادش به صقلغ رسیدند. قبل از آن، عَمالیقی‌ها به جنوب یهودا هجوم آورده، شهر صقلغ را به آتش کشیده بودند | 1 |
And when David and his men had arrived at Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the south side against Ziklag. And they had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire.
| و زنان و تمام کسانی را که در آنجا بودند، از کوچک و بزرگ به اسارت برده و هیچ‌کس را نکشته بودند، بلکه همه را برداشته، به راه خود رفته بودند. | 2 |
And they had led the women in it away as captives, from the small to the great. And they had not killed anyone, but they led them away with them. And then they traveled on their journey.
| داوود و افرادش وقتی به شهر رسیدند و دیدند چه بر سر زنها و بچه‌هایشان آمده است، | 3 |
Therefore, when David and his men had arrived at the city, and had found it burned with fire, and that their wives and their sons and daughters had been led away as captives,
| با صدای بلند آنقدر گریه کردند که دیگر رمقی برایشان باقی نماند. | 4 |
David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.
| هر دو زن داوود، اخینوعم و اَبیجایِل هم جزو اسیران بودند. | 5 |
For indeed, the two wives of David also had been led away as captives: Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
| داوود بسیار مضطرب بود، زیرا افرادش به خاطر از دست دادن بچه‌هایشان از شدت ناراحتی می‌خواستند او را سنگسار کنند. اما داوود خویشتن را از خداوند، خدایش تقویت کرد. | 6 |
And David was greatly saddened. And the people were willing to stone him, because the soul of every man was bitter over his sons and daughters. But David was strengthened by the Lord his God.
| داوود به اَبیاتار کاهن گفت: «ایفود را پیش من بیاور!» اَبیاتار آن را آورد. | 7 |
And he said to the priest Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring the ephod to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
| داوود از خداوند پرسید: «آیا دشمن را تعقیب کنم؟ آیا به آنها خواهم رسید؟» خداوند به او فرمود: «بله، آنها را تعقیب کن، چون به آنها خواهی رسید و آنچه را که برده‌اند پس خواهی گرفت!» | 8 |
And David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue these robbers, and will I overtake them, or not?” And the Lord said to him: “Pursue. For without doubt, you will overtake them and find the prey.”
| پس داوود و آن ششصد نفر به تعقیب عَمالیقی‌ها پرداختند. وقتی به نهر بسور رسیدند، دویست نفر از افراد داوود از فرط خستگی نتوانستند از آن عبور کنند، اما چهارصد نفر دیگر به تعقیب دشمن ادامه دادند. | 9 |
Therefore, David went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they arrived as far as the torrent Besor. And certain ones, being weary, stayed there.
| 10 |
But David pursued, he and four hundred men. For two hundred stayed, who, being weary, were not able to cross the torrent Besor.
| در بین راه به یک جوان مصری برخوردند و او را نزد داوود آوردند. او سه شبانه روز چیزی نخورده و نیاشامیده بود. آنها مقداری نان انجیری، دو نان کشمشی و آب به او دادند و جان او تازه شد. | 11 |
And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and they led him to David. And they gave him bread, so that he might eat, and water, so that he might drink,
| 12 |
and also a section of a mass of dried figs, and two clusters of dried grapes. And when he had eaten, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed. For he had not eaten bread, nor drank water, for three days and three nights.
| داوود از او پرسید: «تو کیستی و از کجا می‌آیی؟» گفت: «من مصری و نوکر یک شخص عَمالیقی هستم. اربابم سه روز پیش مرا در اینجا رها نمود و رفت، چون مریض بودم. | 13 |
And so David said to him: “To whom do you belong? Or where are you from? And where are you going?” And he said: “I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalekite man. But my lord abandoned me, because I began to be sick the day before yesterday.
| ما به جنوب سرزمین کریتی‌ها واقع در جنوب یهودا و سرزمین قبیلهٔ کالیب هجوم بردیم و شهر صقلغ را سوزاندیم.» | 14 |
For indeed, we broke forth to the southern side of Cherethi, and against Judah, and to the south of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
| داوود از او پرسید: «آیا می‌توانی ما را به آن گروه برسانی؟» آن جوان پاسخ داد: «اگر به نام خدا قسم بخورید که مرا نکشید و یا مرا به اربابم پس ندهید حاضرم شما را راهنمایی کنم تا به آنها برسید.» | 15 |
And David said to him, “Are you able to lead me to this battle line?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my lord, and I will lead you to this battle line.” And David swore to him.
| پس او داوود و همراهانش را به اردوگاه دشمن راهنمایی کرد. عَمالیقی‌ها در مزارع پخش شده، می‌خوردند و می‌نوشیدند و می‌رقصیدند، چون از فلسطینی‌ها و مردم یهودا غنایم فراوانی به چنگ آورده بودند. | 16 |
And when he had led him, behold, they were stretched out on the face of the land everywhere, eating and drinking and celebrating, as if it were a feast day, because of all the prey and spoils that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.
| همان شب داوود و همراهانش بر آنها هجوم برده، تا غروب روز بعد، ایشان را از دم شمشیر گذراندند، به طوری که فقط چهارصد نفر از آنها باقی ماندند که بر شتران خود سوار شده، گریختند. | 17 |
And David struck them down from evening until the evening of the next day. And no one among them escaped, except four hundred youths, who had climbed on camels and fled.
| داوود تمام غنایم را از عمالیقی‌ها پس گرفت. آنها زنان و اطفال و همهٔ متعلقات خود را بدون کم و کسر پس گرفتند و داوود دو زن خود را نجات داد. | 18 |
Therefore, David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
| 19 |
And nothing was missing, from small even to great, among the sons and daughters, and among the spoils, and among everything whatsoever that they had seized. David returned it all.
| افراد داوود تمام گله‌ها و رمه‌ها را گرفته، پیشاپیش خود می‌راندند و می‌گفتند: «همهٔ اینها غنایم داوود است.» | 20 |
And he took all the flocks and the herds, and he drove them before his face. And they said, “This is the prey of David.”
| سپس داوود نزد آن دویست نفر خسته‌ای که کنار نهر بسور مانده بودند، رفت. آنها به استقبال داوود و همراهانش آمدند و داوود با آنها احوالپرسی کرد. | 21 |
Then David arrived at the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, for they had not been able to follow David, and he had ordered them to remain at the torrent Besor. And they went out to meet David, and the people who were with him. Then David, drawing near to the people, greeted them peacefully.
| اما بعضی از افراد شروری که در میان مردان داوود بودند گفتند: «آنها همراه ما نیامدند، بنابراین از این غنیمت هم سهمی ندارند. زنان و بچه‌هایشان را به آنها واگذارید و بگذارید بروند.» | 22 |
And all the wicked and iniquitous men, out of the men who had gone with David, responding, said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give to them anything from the prey that we have rescued. But let his wife and children be enough for each of them; when they have accepted this, they may go back.”
| اما داوود گفت: «نه، برادران من! با آنچه خداوند به ما داده است چنین عمل نکنید. خداوند ما را سلامت نگاه داشته و کمک کرده است تا دشمن را شکست دهیم. | 23 |
But David said: “You shall not do this, my brothers, with these things that the Lord has delivered to us, for he has preserved us, and he has given into our hands the robbers who broke out among us.
| من با آنچه شما می‌گویید موافق نیستم. همهٔ ما به طور یکسان از این غنیمت سهم خواهیم برد. کسانی که به میدان جنگ می‌روند و آنانی که در اردوگاه نزد اسباب و اثاثیه می‌مانند سهم هر دو مساوی است.» | 24 |
And so, let no one heed you over these words. But equal shall be the portion of him who descended to the battle, and of him who remained with the supplies, and they will divide it alike.”
| از آن زمان به بعد این حکم داوود در اسرائیل به صورت یک قانون درآمد که تا به امروز هم به قوت خود باقی است. | 25 |
And this has been done from that day and thereafter. And it was established as a statute, and as if a law, in Israel even to this day.
| وقتی که داوود به صقلغ رسید، قسمتی از غنایم جنگی را برای بزرگان یهودا که دوستانش بودند، فرستاد و گفت: «این هدیه‌ای است که از دشمنان خداوند به دست آورده‌ایم.» | 26 |
Then David went to Ziklag, and he sent gifts from the prey to the elders of Judah, his neighbors, saying, “Receive a blessing from the prey of the enemies of the Lord,”
| داوود برای این شهرها نیز که خود و همراهانش قبلاً در آنجا بودند هدایا فرستاد: بیت‌ئیل، راموت در جنوب یهودا، یتیر، عروعیر، سفموت، اشتموع، راکال، شهرهای یرحم‌ئیلیان، شهرهای قینیان، حرمه، بورعاشان، عتاق و حبرون. | 27 |
to those who were in Bethel, and who were in Ramoth toward the south, and who were in Jattir,
| 28 |
and who were in Aroer, and who were in Siphmoth, and who were in Eshtemoa,
| 29 |
and who were in Racal, and who were in the cities of Jerahmeel, and who were in the cities of Keni,
| 30 |
and who were in Hormah, and who were at the lake of Ashan, and who were in Athach,
| 31 |
and who were in Hebron, and to the remainder who were in those places where David had stayed, he and his men.
