< 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 |
Now when David and his men were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt 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 had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way.
داوود و افرادش وقتی به شهر رسیدند و دیدند چه بر سر زنها و بچههایشان آمده است، | 3 |
So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives,
با صدای بلند آنقدر گریه کردند که دیگر رمقی برایشان باقی نماند. | 4 |
David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears.
هر دو زن داوود، اخینوعم و اَبیجایِل هم جزو اسیران بودند. | 5 |
For the two wives also of David were taken captives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, 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 afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons, and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God.
داوود به اَبیاتار کاهن گفت: «ایفود را پیش من بیاور!» اَبیاتار آن را آورد. | 7 |
And he said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod. 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 after these robbers, and shall I overtake them, or not? And the Lord said to him: Pursue after them: for thou shalt surely overtake them and recover 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 |
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor: and some being weary stayed there.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed, who being weary could not go over 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 in the field, and brought him to David: and they gave him bread to eat, and water to drink,
As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water 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 David said to him: To whom dost thou belong? or whence dost thou come? and whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite, and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago.
ما به جنوب سرزمین کریتیها واقع در جنوب یهودا و سرزمین قبیلهٔ کالیب هجوم بردیم و شهر صقلغ را سوزاندیم.» | 14 |
For we made an invasion on the south side of Cerethi, and upon Juda, and upon the south of Caleb, and we burnt Siceleg 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: Canst thou bring me to this company? And he said: Swear to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee to this company. 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 brought him, behold they were lying spread upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey, and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
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 slew them from the evening unto the evening of the next day, and there escaped not a man of them, but four hundred young men, who had gotten upon 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 |
So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
And there was nothing missing small or great, neither of their sons or their daughters, nor of the spoils, and whatsoever they had taken: David recovered 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 made them go before him: 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 |
And David came to the two hundred men, who being weary had stayed, and were not able to follow David, and he had ordered them to abide at the torrent Besor: and they came out to meet David, and the people that were with him. And David coming to the people saluted them peaceably.
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 |
Then all the wicked and unjust men that had gone with David answering, said: Because they came not with us, we will not give them any thing of the prey which we have recovered: but let every man take his wife and his children, and be contented with them, and go his way.
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 so, my brethren, with these things, which the Lord hath given us, who hath kept us, and hath delivered the robbers that invaded us into our hands.
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 no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide 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 hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute, and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel.
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 came to Siceleg, and sent presents of the prey to the ancients of Juda his neighbours, saying: Receive a blessing of 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 them that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth to the south, and to them that were in Jether,
And to them that were in Aroer and that were in Sephamoth, and that were in Esthamo,
And that were in Rachal, and that were in the cities of Jerameel, and that were in the cities of Ceni,
And that were in Arama, and that were in the lake Asan, and that were in Athach,
And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men.
