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 came to Ziklag on the third day, that, the Amalekites, had made a raid into the South, and into 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 who were therein, from small even unto great, they had not put one to death, —but had driven them forth, and gone 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, lo! it was burnt with fire, —and, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.
| 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 strength to weep.
| هر دو زن داوود، اخینوعم و اَبیجایِل هم جزو اسیران بودند. | 5 |
And, the two wives of David, had been taken captive, —Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, 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 in sore distress, for the people had spoken of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were embittered, every man for his own sons and for his own daughters, —but David emboldened himself in Yahweh his God.
| داوود به اَبیاتار کاهن گفت: «ایفود را پیش من بیاور!» اَبیاتار آن را آورد. | 7 |
Then said David to Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, Do bring near me, I pray thee, the ephod. So Abiathar brought near the ephod, unto 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 enquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake it? And he said unto him: Pursue, for thou shalt, overtake, and thou shalt, rescue.
| 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, who were with him, and they came in as far as the ravine of Besor, —where, they who had to be left behind, stayed.
| 10 |
But David pursued, he. and four hundred men, —but the two hundred men stayed, because they were too wearied to cross over the ravine of 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 took him unto David, —and gave him food, 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 cakes of raisins, and, when he had eaten, his spirit came back unto him, —for he had neither eaten food, 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 |
Then David said to him—Whose art thou? and whence art thou? And he said, A young man of Egypt, am I, servant to an Amalekite, and my lord left me behind, because I fell 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 |
As for us, we invaded the South of the Cherithites, and against that which pertaineth unto Judah, and against the South of Caleb, —and, Ziklag, burned we 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 unto him, Wilt thou bring me down unto this troop? And he said—Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not put me to death, neither wilt thou surrender me into the hand of my lord, and I will bring thee down unto 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 |
So he brought him down, and lo! they were left to themselves over the face of all the land, —eating, and drinking, and dancing around, for all the great spoil which 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 closing twilight even unto the evening of the next day, —and there escaped not of them a man, 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 rescued all whom the Amalekites had taken, —his two wives also, did David rescue;
| 19 |
and there was nothing missing to them—whether small or great, whether spoil, or sons or daughters, or, any thing which they had taken unto themselves, —the whole, did David recover.
| 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, —they drave them before those other cattle, and they 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 unto the two hundred men, who had been too wearied to follow David, and whom they had suffered to remain at the ravine of Besor, —and they came forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him, and when David came near unto the people, they enquired of his success.
| 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 responded every man who was bad and abandoned, from among the men who had been with David, and said—Because they went not with me there shall not be given them of the spoil that we have rescued, —save, to every man, his wife and his children, let them put them forth, then, and go.
| 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 Yahweh hath given to 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 |
Who indeed, could hearken unto you, in this mutter? Surely, like the share of him that went down into the battle, even, so, shall be the share of him that remained by the stores—alike, shall they share.
| 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 so it came to pass, from that day forward, that he appointed it, for a statute and for a custom unto Israel, until 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, unto his friends, saying, —Lo! for you, a blessing, out of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh:
| 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 who were in Bethel, and to them who were in Ramoth of the South, and to them who were in Jattir,
| 28 |
and to them who were in Aroer, and to them who were in Siphmoth, and to them who were in Eshtemoa,
| 29 |
and to them who were in Racal, and to them who were in the cities of the Jerameelites, and to them who were in the cities of the Kenites,
| 30 |
and to them who were in Hormah, and to them who were in Cor-ashan, and to them who were in Athach,
| 31 |
and to them who were in Hebron, —and to all the places where David had been to and fro, he and his men.
