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 it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten 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 had taken captive the women and all that were therein, both small and great; they slew not any, but carried them off, and went their way.
| داوود و افرادش وقتی به شهر رسیدند و دیدند چه بر سر زنها و بچه‌هایشان آمده است، | 3 |
And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
| با صدای بلند آنقدر گریه کردند که دیگر رمقی برایشان باقی نماند. | 4 |
Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
| هر دو زن داوود، اخینوعم و اَبیجایِل هم جزو اسیران بودند. | 5 |
And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
| 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 distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
| داوود به اَبیاتار کاهن گفت: «ایفود را پیش من بیاور!» اَبیاتار آن را آورد. | 7 |
And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech: 'I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod.' And Abiathar brought thither 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 inquired of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them?' And He answered him: 'Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and shalt without fail recover all.'
| 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 came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
| 10 |
But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook 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 gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink;
| 12 |
and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit came back to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any 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 unto him: 'To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou?' And he said: 'I am a young Egyptian, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
| ما به جنوب سرزمین کریتی‌ها واقع در جنوب یهودا و سرزمین قبیلهٔ کالیب هجوم بردیم و شهر صقلغ را سوزاندیم.» | 14 |
We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon 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: 'Wilt thou bring me down to this troop?' And he said: 'Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.'
| 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 down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and feasting, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of 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 smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode 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 |
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
| 19 |
And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them; David brought back all.
| افراد داوود تمام گله‌ها و رمه‌ها را گرفته، پیشاپیش خود می‌راندند و می‌گفتند: «همهٔ اینها غنایم داوود است.» | 20 |
And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said: 'This is David's spoil.'
| 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 were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
| 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 answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said: 'Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.'
| 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 |
Then said David: 'Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
| 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 who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as is the share of him that goeth down to the battle, so shall be the share of him that tarrieth by the baggage; they shall share 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 it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto 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 |
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying: 'Behold a present for you of the spoil 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 Beth-el, and to them that were in Ramoth of the South, and to them that were in Jattir;
| 28 |
and to them that were in Aroer, and to them that were in Siphmoth, and to them that were in Eshtemoa;
| 29 |
and to them that were in Racal, and to them that were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them that were in the cities of the Kenites;
| 30 |
and to them that were in Hormah, and to them that were in Bor-ashan, and to them that were in Athach;
| 31 |
and to them that were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
