صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 28
| وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ جَمَعُوا جُيُوشَهُمْ لِكَيْ يُحَارِبُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِدَاوُدَ: «ٱعْلَمْ يَقِينًا أَنَّكَ سَتَخْرُجُ مَعِي فِي ٱلْجَيْشِ أَنْتَ وَرِجَالُكَ». | ١ 1 |
Now in those days the Philistines got their forces together to make war on Israel. And Achish said to David, Certainly you and your men are to go out with me to the fight.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَخِيشَ: «لِذَلِكَ أَنْتَ سَتَعْلَمُ مَا يَفْعَلُ عَبْدُكَ». فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ لِدَاوُدَ: «لِذَلِكَ أَجْعَلُكَ حَارِسًا لِرَأْسِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». | ٢ 2 |
And David said to Achish, You will see now what your servant will do. And Achish said to David, Then I will make you keeper of my head for ever.
| وَمَاتَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَنَدَبَهُ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ فِي مَدِينَتِهِ. وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ قَدْ نَفَى أَصْحَابَ ٱلْجَانِّ وَٱلتَّوَابِعِ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٣ 3 |
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel, after weeping for him, had put his body in its last resting-place in Ramah, his town. And Saul had put away from the land all those who had control of spirits and who made use of secret arts.
| فَٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَجَاءُوا وَنَزَلُوا فِي شُونَمَ، وَجَمَعَ شَاوُلُ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلَ فِي جِلْبُوعَ. | ٤ 4 |
And the Philistines came together and put their forces in position in Shunem; and Saul got all Israel together and they took up their positions in Gilboa.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى شَاوُلُ جَيْشَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ خَافَ وَٱضْطَرَبَ قَلْبُهُ جِدًّا. | ٥ 5 |
And when Saul saw the Philistine army he was troubled, and his heart was moved with fear.
| فَسَأَلَ شَاوُلُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لَا بِٱلْأَحْلَامِ وَلَا بِٱلْأُورِيمِ وَلَا بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ. | ٦ 6 |
And when Saul went for directions to the Lord, the Lord gave him no answer, by a dream or by the Urim or by the prophets.
| فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «فَتِّشُوا لِي عَلَى ٱمْرَأَةٍ صَاحِبَةِ جَانٍّ، فَأَذْهَبَ إِلَيْهَا وَأَسْأَلَهَا». فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱمْرَأَةٌ صَاحِبَةُ جَانٍّ فِي عَيْنِ دُورٍ». | ٧ 7 |
Then Saul said to his servants, Get me a woman who has control of a spirit so that I may go to her and get directions. And his servants said to him, There is such a woman at En-dor.
| فَتَنَكَّرَ شَاوُلُ وَلَبِسَ ثِيَابًا أُخْرَى، وَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَرَجُلَانِ مَعَهُ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ لَيْلًا. وَقَالَ: «ٱعْرِفِي لِي بِٱلْجَانِّ وَأَصْعِدِي لِي مَنْ أَقُولُ لَكِ». | ٨ 8 |
So Saul, putting on other clothing, so that he might not be seen to be the king, took two men with him and went to the woman by night; and he said, Now, with the help of the spirit which you have, make the person whose name I will give you come up.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «هُوَذَا أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ مَا فَعَلَ شَاوُلُ، كَيْفَ قَطَعَ أَصْحَابَ ٱلْجَانِّ وَٱلتَّوَابِعِ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَلِمَاذَا تَضَعُ شَرَكًا لِنَفْسِي لِتُمِيتَهَا؟» | ٩ 9 |
And the woman said to him, But you have knowledge of what Saul has done, how he has put away out of the land those who have control of spirits and the users of secret arts: why would you, by a trick, put me in danger of death?
| فَحَلَفَ لَهَا شَاوُلُ بِٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَلْحَقُكِ إِثْمٌ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ». | ١٠ 10 |
And Saul made an oath to her by the Lord, saying, By the living Lord, no punishment will come to you for this.
| فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «مَنْ أُصْعِدُ لَكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَصْعِدِي لِي صَمُوئِيلَ». | ١١ 11 |
Then the woman said, Who am I to let you see? And he said, Make Samuel come up for me.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ صَمُوئِيلَ صَرَخَتْ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَكَلَّمَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ شَاوُلَ قَائِلَةً: «لِمَاذَا خَدَعْتَنِي وَأَنْتَ شَاوُلَ؟» | ١٢ 12 |
And the woman saw that it was Saul, and she gave a loud cry, and said to Saul, Why have you made use of deceit? for you are Saul.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ: «لَا تَخَافِي. فَمَاذَا رَأَيْتِ؟» فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ لِشَاوُلَ: «رَأَيْتُ آلِهَةً يَصْعَدُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٣ 13 |
And the king said to her, Have no fear: what do you see? And the woman said to Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «مَا هِيَ صُورَتُهُ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «رَجُلٌ شَيْخٌ صَاعِدٌ وَهُوَ مُغَطًّى بِجُبَّةٍ». فَعَلِمَ شَاوُلُ أَنَّهُ صَمُوئِيلُ، فَخَرَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ. | ١٤ 14 |
And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, It is an old man coming up covered with a robe. And Saul saw that it was Samuel, and with his face bent down to the earth he gave him honour.
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لِمَاذَا أَقْلَقْتَنِي بِإِصْعَادِكَ إِيَّايَ؟» فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «قَدْ ضَاقَ بِي ٱلْأَمْرُ جِدًّا. اَلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي، وَٱلرَّبُّ فَارَقَنِي وَلَمْ يَعُدْ يُجِيبُنِي لَا بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَلَا بِٱلْأَحْلَامِ. فَدَعَوْتُكَ لِكَيْ تُعْلِمَنِي مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ». | ١٥ 15 |
And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you made me come up, troubling my rest? And Saul in answer said, I am in great danger; for the Philistines are making war on me, and God has gone away from me and will no longer give me any answer, by the prophets or by dreams: so I have sent for you to make clear to me what I am to do.
| فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «وَلِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنِي وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ فَارَقَكَ وَصَارَ عَدُوَّكَ؟ | ١٦ 16 |
And Samuel said, Why do you put your questions to me, seeing that God has gone away from you and is on the side of him who is against you?
| وَقَدْ فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ عَنْ يَدِي، وَقَدْ شَقَّ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ يَدِكَ وَأَعْطَاهَا لِقَرِيبِكَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And the Lord himself has done what I said: the Lord has taken the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbour David;
| لِأَنَّكَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ حُمُوَّ غَضَبِهِ فِي عَمَالِيقَ، لِذَلِكَ قَدْ فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِكَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلْيَوْمَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Because you did not do what the Lord said, and did not give effect to his burning wrath against Amalek. So the Lord has done this thing to you today.
| وَيَدْفَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا مَعَكَ لِيَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَغَدًا أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ تَكُونُونَ مَعِي، وَيَدْفَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ جَيْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا لِيَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». | ١٩ 19 |
And more than this, the Lord will give Israel up with you into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me: and the Lord will give up the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.
| فَأَسْرَعَ شَاوُلُ وَسَقَطَ عَلَى طُولِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَخَافَ جِدًّا مِنْ كَلَامِ صَمُوئِيلَ، وَأَيْضًا لَمْ تَكُنْ فِيهِ قُوَّةٌ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ طَعَامًا ٱلنَّهَارَ كُلَّهُ وَٱللَّيْلَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Then Saul went down flat on the earth, and was full of fear because of Samuel's words: and there was no strength in him, for he had taken no food all that day or all that night.
| ثُمَّ جَاءَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى شَاوُلَ وَرَأَتْ أَنَّهُ مُرْتَاعٌ جِدًّا، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا قَدْ سَمِعَتْ جَارِيَتُكَ لِصَوْتِكَ فَوَضَعْتُ نَفْسِي فِي كَفِّي وَسَمِعْتُ لِكَلَامِكَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتَنِي بِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was in great trouble, and said to him, See now, your servant has given ear to your words, and I have put my life in danger by doing what you said.
| وَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا لِصَوْتِ جَارِيَتِكَ فَأَضَعَ قُدَّامَكَ كِسْرَةَ خُبْزٍ وَكُلْ، فَتَكُونَ فِيكَ قُوَّةٌ إِذْ تَسِيرُ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ». | ٢٢ 22 |
So now, give ear to the voice of your servant, and let me give you a little bread; and take some food to give you strength when you go on your way.
| فَأَبَى وَقَالَ: «لَا آكُلُ». فَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدَاهُ وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضًا، فَسَمِعَ لِصَوْتِهِمْ وَقَامَ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَلَسَ عَلَى ٱلسَّرِيرِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
But he would not, saying, I have no desire for food. But his servants, together with the woman, made him take food, and he gave way to them. So he got up from the earth, and took his seat on the bed.
| وَكَانَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ عِجْلٌ مُسَمَّنٌ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، فَأَسْرَعَتْ وَذَبَحَتْهُ وَأَخَذَتْ دَقِيقًا وَعَجَنَتْهُ وَخَبَزَتْ فَطِيرًا، | ٢٤ 24 |
And the woman had in the house a young cow, made fat for food; and she put it to death straight away; and she took meal and got it mixed and made unleavened bread;
| ثُمَّ قَدَّمَتْهُ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ وَأَمَامَ عَبْدَيْهِ فَأَكَلُوا. وَقَامُوا وَذَهَبُوا فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And she put it before Saul and his servants, and they had a meal. Then they got up and went away the same night.
