1 و َحَشَدَ الفِلِسْطِيُّونَ جُيُوشَهُمْ لِلحَربِ. اجتَمَعُوا فِي سُوكُوهَ التي فِي يَهُوذا، وَعَسكَرُوا بَينَ سُوكُوهَ وَعَزِيقَةَ، فِي مَدِينَةٍ اسْمُها أفَسُ دَمِّيمَ.

Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle and were assembled at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.

2 و َحَشَدَ شاوُلُ جُنُودَ بَني إسْرائِيلَ أيضاً، وَعَسكَرُوا فِي وادِي البُطمِ. وَاصطَفُّوا استِعداداً لِمُقاتَلَةِ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ.

Saul and the men of Israel were encamped in the Valley of Elah and drew up in battle array against the Philistines.

3 و َقَفَ الفِلِسْطِيُّونَ عَلَى تَلَّةٍ، وَبَنُو إسْرائِيلَ عَلَى تَلَّةٍ مُقابِلَةٍ يَفصِلُ بَينَهُما الوادِي.

And the Philistines stood on a mountain on one side and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with the valley between them.

4 و َكانَ لَدَى الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ مُقاتِلٌ جَبّارٌ اسْمُهُ جُلياتُ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ جَتَّ، طُولُهُ أربَعُ أذرُعٍ وَشِبرٌ! فَخَرَجَ جُلياتُ مِنْ مُخَيَّمِ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ.

And a champion went out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

5 ك انَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ خُوذَةٌ مِنْ بُرونْزٍ. وَيَلبِسُ دِرعاً عَلَى شَكلِ حَراشِفِ سَمَكَةٍ، يَزِنُ خَمْسَةَ آلافِ مِثْقالٍ مِنَ البُرونْزِ.

And he had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of mail, and the coat weighed 5, 000 shekels of bronze.

6 و َكانَ يَضَعُ واقِياتٍ نُحاسِيَّةً عَلَى ساقَيهِ. وَكانَ مَربُوطاً عَلَى ظَهرِهِ رُمحٌ نُحاسِيٌّ.

He had bronze shin armor on his legs and a bronze javelin across his shoulders.

7 و َكانَتْ عَصا رُمحِهِ طَوِيلَةً كَنَولِ النَّسّاجِ. وَزْنُ سِنانِ الرُّمحِ سِتُّ مِئَةِ مِثْقالٍ مِنَ الحَدِيدِ. وَكانَ مُساعِدُهُ يَمشِي أمامَهُ حامِلاً تُرسَهُ.

And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; his spear’s head weighed 600 shekels of iron. And a shield bearer went before him.

8 ك انَ جُلْياتُ يخْرُجُ كُلَّ يَومٍ وَيُنادِي مُتَحَدِّياً جُنُودَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، فَيَقُولُ: «لِماذا جُنُودُكُمْ مُصْطَفُّونَ اسْتِعْداداً للقِتالِ هَكَذا؟ أنتُمْ خُدّامُ شاوُلَ، وَأنا مِنَ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ. فاخْتارُوا رَجُلاً وَأرْسِلُوهُ لِكَي يُبارِزَنِي.

Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to me.

9 ف َإذا قَتَلَنِي، يَفُوزُ، وَنَصِيرُ نَحنُ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ عَبِيداً لَكُمْ. لَكِنْ إذا قَتَلتُ رَجُلَكُمْ، أفُوزُ، وَتَصِيرُونَ أنتُمْ عَبِيداً لَنا، وَتَخدِمُونَنا.»

If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.

10 و َقالَ الفِلِسْطِيُّ: «أقِفُ اليَومَ مُعَبِّراً عَنِ احتِقارِي لِجَيشِ إسْرائِيلَ. فَأنا أتَحَدّاكُمْ أنْ تُرسلُوا أحَدَ رِجالِكُمْ لِيُقاتِلَنِي.»

And the Philistine said, I defy the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.

11 ف َسَمِعَ شاوُلُ وَجُنُودُ إسْرائِيلَ ما قالَهُ جُلياتُ، وَخافُوا خُوفاً شَدِيداً. داوُدُ يَذهَبُ إلَى جَبهَةِ القِتال

When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

12 ك انَ داوُدُ مِنْ أبناءِ يَسَّى مِنْ عائِلَةِ أفراتَةَ فِي بَيتَ لَحْمَ فِي يَهُوذا. وَكانَ لِيَسَّى ثَمانِيَةُ أبناءٍ. وَكانَ يَسَّى طاعِناً فِي السِّنِّ فِي عَهدِ شاوُلَ.

David was the son of an Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah named Jesse, who had eight sons. in the days of Saul was old, advanced in years.

13 ذ َهَبَ أبناءُ يَسَّى الثَّلاثَةُ الكِبارُ إلَى الحَربِ مَعَ شاوُلَ: أمّا أسماؤُهُمْ، فَالأوَّلُ ألِيآبُ، وَالثّانِي أبِينادابُ، وَالثّالِثُ شَمَّةُ.

three eldest sons had followed Saul into battle. Their names were Eliab the firstborn; next, Abinadab; and third, Shammah.

14 أ مّا داوُدُ فَكانَ الأصغَرَ. وَقَدِ انضَمَّ إخْوَتُهُ الثَّلاثَةُ الكِبارُ فِي جَيشِ شاوُلَ.

David was the youngest. The three eldest followed Saul,

15 و َكانَ داوُدُ يَترُكُ شاوُلَ مِنْ وَقتٍ إلَى آخَرَ لِلاعتِناءِ بِغَنَمِ أبِيهِ فِي بَيتَ لَحمَ.

But David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.

16 و َظَلَّ الفِلِسْطِيُّ يَخرُجُ صَباحاً وَمَساءً مُقابِلَ جَيشِ إسْرائِيلَ أرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً، وَيُوَجِّهُ الإهاناتِ لإسْرائِيلَ.

The Philistine came out morning and evening, presenting himself for forty days.

17 و َذاتَ يَومٍ، قالَ يَسَّى لابْنِهِ داوُدَ: «خُذْ هَذِهِ القُفَّةَ مِنَ الفَرِيكِ، وَهَذِهِ الأرغِفَةَ العَشْرَةَ مِنَ الخُبزِ إلَى إخْوَتِكَ فِي المُعَسكَرِ.

And Jesse said to David his son, Take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain and these ten loaves and carry them quickly to your brothers at the camp.

18 خ ُذْ أيضاً قِطَعَ الجُبْنِ العَشْرِ هَذِهِ إلَى قائِدِهِمْ. اطمَئِنَّ عَلَى أحْوالِ إخْوَتِكَ، وَأحْضِرْ شَيئاً يَدُلُّ عَلَى سَلامَتِهِمْ.

Also take these ten cheeses to the commander of their thousand. See how your brothers fare and bring some token from them.

19 ف َإخوَتُكَ هُناكَ مَعَ شاوُلَ وَمَعَ كُلِّ جُنُودِ إسْرائِيلَ فِي وادِي البُطمِ لمُحارَبَةِ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ.»

Now Saul and the brothers and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

20 و َفِي الصَّباحِ الباكِرِ تَرَكَ داوُدُ الغَنَمَ فِي رِعايَةِ راعٍ آخَرَ. وَأخَذَ الطَّعامَ وَذَهَبَ كَما طَلَبَ إلَيه أبُوهُ. وَأتَى داوُدُ إلَى مِنْطَقَةِ المُعَسكَرِ. وَكانَ الجُنُودُ خارِجينَ لِأخذِ مَواقِعِهمْ فِي القِتالِ عِندَ وُصُول داوُدَ. وَراحَ الجُنُودُ يُطلِقُونَ صَيحاتِ الحَربِ.

So David rose up early next morning, left the sheep with a keeper, took the provisions, and went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the encampment as the host going forth to the battleground shouted the battle cry.

21 و َاصطَفَّ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ وَالفِلِسْطِيُّونَ استِعداداً لِلقِتالِ.

And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.

22 ف َتَرَكَ داوُدُ الطَّعامَ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَحفَظُ المُؤَنَ، وَرَكَضَ إلَى حَيثُ جَيشُ إسْرائِيلَ، وَسَألَهُمْ عَنْ إخْوَتِه.

David left his packages in the care of the baggage keeper and ran into the ranks and came and greeted his brothers.

23 ف َخَرَجَ الجبّارُ الفِلِسْطِيُّ مِنْ بَينِ صُفُوفِ الجَيشِ الفِلِسْطِيِّ أثناءَ حَدِيثِ داوُدَ مَعَ إخْوَتِهِ. وَكانَ هَذا البَطَلُ جُلياتَ الفِلِسْطِيَّ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ جَتَّ. أعادَ جُلياتُ ما كانَ يَقُولُهُ كُلَّ يَومٍ عَنْ جَيشِ إسْرائِيلَ. فَسَمِعَ داوُدُ ما قالَهُ.

As they talked, behold, Goliath, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, came forth from the Philistine ranks and spoke the same words as before, and David heard him.

24 ف َلَمَّا رَأى جُنُودُ إسْرائِيلَ جُلياتَ هَرَبُوا جَميعاً خَوْفاً مِنْ جُلياتَ.

And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, terrified.

25 ف َقالَ أحَدُ رِجالِ إسْرائِيلَ: «أرَأيتُمْ ضَخامَتَهُ؟ انظُرُوا إلَيهِ! يَخرُجُ كُلَّ يَومٍ لِيَهزَأَ بِإسْرائِيلَ مَرَّةً بَعدَ مَرَّةٍ. وَقَدْ أعلَنَ شاوُلُ أنَّهُ سيُغْنِي مَّنْ يَقتُلُ جُلياتَ وسَيُزَوِّجُهُ ابنَتَه. وَسَيَجعَلُ شاوُلُ كُلَّ عائِلَةِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ أحراراً فِي إسْرائِيلَ.»

And the Israelites said, Have you seen this man who has come out? Surely he has come out to defy Israel; and the man who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter and make his father’s house free in Israel.

26 ف َسَألَ داوُدُ الرِّجالَ الواقِفِينَ قُربَهُ: «ما هِيَ مُكافَأةُ مَنْ يَقتُلُ ذَلِكَ الفِلِسْطِيَّ وَيَنزِعُ العارَ عَنْ إسْرائِيلَ؟ فَمَنْ يَظُنُّ نَفْسَهُ هَذا الفِلِسْطِيٌّ اللّامَختُونُ لِيَهزَأَ بجَيشِ اللهِ الحَيِّ؟»

And David said to the men standing by him, What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?

27 ف َأخْبَرَ الرِّجالُ داوُدَ عَنْ مُكافَأةِ مَنْ يَقتُلُ جُلياتَ.

And the told him, Thus shall it be done for the man who kills him.

28 ف َسَمِعَهُ أخُوهُ الأكبَرُ ألِيآبَ وَهُوَ يَتَحَدَّثُ إلَى الجُنُودِ فَغَضِبَ. وَسَألَ ألِيآبُ داوُدَ: «ما الَّذِي جاءَ بِكَ إلَى هُنا؟ وَمَعَ مَنْ تَرَكتَ تِلكَ الغُنَيْماتِ القَلِيلَةَ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ؟ أنا أعلَمُ غُرُورَكَ وَقَلْبَكَ الشِّرِّيرَ، فَما أتَيْتَ إلّا لِكَيْ تَتَفَرَّجَ عَلَى المَعْرَكَةِ.»

Now Eliab his eldest brother heard what he said to the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David and he said, Why did you come here? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumption and evilness of heart; for you came down that you might see the battle.

29 ف َقالَ داوُدُ: «ما الَّذِي فَعَلتُهُ الآنَ؟ فَقَدْ كُنتُ أتَكَلَّمُ فَحَسبُ.»

And David said, What have I done now? Was it not a harmless question?

30 و َذَهَبَ داوُدُ إلَى آخَرِينَ وَطَرَحَ عَلَيهِمِ الأسئِلَةَ نَفسَها، فَأعطُوهُ الأجوبَةَ نَفسَها.

And David turned away from Eliab to another and he asked the same question, and again the men gave him the same answer.

31 ف َسَمِعَ بَعضُ الرِّجال ما قالَهُ داوُدُ، فَأخَذُوهُ إلَى شاوُلَ وَأخبَرُوهُ بِما قالَ.

When David’s words were heard, they were repeated to Saul, and he sent for him.

32 ف َقالَ داوُدُ لِشاوُلَ: «لا يَنبَغِي أنْ نَسمَحَ لِجُلياتَ بِأنْ يُثَبِّطَ هِمَمَ الشَّعبِ. فَأنا خادِمُكَ مُستَعِدٌّ لِلذَّهابِ وَمُنازَلَةِ هَذا الفِلِسْطِيِّ.»

David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of this Philistine; your servant will go out and fight with him.

33 ف َأجابَ شاوُلُ: «لا تَقدِرُ أنْ تَذهَبَ وَتُنازِلَ هَذا الفِلِسْطِيَّ، فَلَستَ حَتَّى جُندِيّاً. أمّا جُلياتُ فاشتَرَكَ فِي الحُرُوبِ مُنذُ صِباهُ.»

And Saul said to David, You are not able to go to fight against this Philistine. You are only an adolescent, and he has been a warrior from his youth.

34 ف َقالَ داوُدُ: «كُنتُ، أنا خادِمَكَ، كَثِيراً ما أرْعَى غَنَمَ أبِي. فَمَتَى جاءَ أسَدٌّ أوْ دُبٌ وَخَطَفَ حَمَلاً مِنَ القَطِيْعِ،

And David said to Saul, Your servant kept his father’s sheep. And when there came a lion or again a bear and took a lamb out of the flock,

35 ك ُنْتُ أُطارِدُهُ وَأَضْرِبُهُ وَأُنْقِذُ الحَمَلَ مِنْ فَمِهِ. فَإنِ عادَ وَهَجَمَ عَلَيَّ، أُمْسِكُهُ مِنْ ذَقنِهِ، وَأضْرِبُهُ وَأقْتُلُهُ.

I went out after it and smote it and delivered the lamb out of its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard and smote it and killed it.

36 ق َتَلتُ، أنا خادِمَكَ، دُبّاً وَأسَداً! وَسَأقتُلُ ذَلِكَ الفِلِسْطِيَّ غَيْرَ المَخْتُونِ كَما قَتَلتُهُما، لِأنَّهُ اسْتَهزَأَ بِجَيشِ اللهِ الحَيِّ.

Your servant killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God!

37 ف َاللهُ الَّذِي أنقَذَنِي مِنْ مَخالِبِ الأسَدِ وَالدُّبِّ، يُنقِذُنِي مِنْ يَدِ هَذا الفِلِسْطِيِّ.» فَقالَ شاوُلُ لِداوُدَ: «اذْهَبْ، وَلْيَكُنِ اللهُ مَعَكَ.»

David said, The Lord Who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord be with you!

38 و َألبَسَ شاوُلُ داوُدَ لِباسَهُ الحَربِيَّ. وَضَعَ خُوذَةً نُحاسِيَّةً عَلَى رَأْسِ داوُدَ، وَقَلَّدَهُ دِرعاً عَلَى جِسمِهِ.

Then Saul clothed David with his armor; he put a bronze helmet on his head and clothed him with a coat of mail.

39 و َوَضَعَ داوُدُ سَيفَ شاوُلَ إلَى جَنبهِ. وَحاوَلَ داوُدُ أنْ يَمشِيَ، فَلَمْ يَستَطِعْ، لِأنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُعتاداً عَلَى هَذِهِ الأشياءِ. فَقالَ داوُدُ لشاوُلَ: «لا أستَطِيعُ القِتالَ بِهَذِه. فَأنا لَستُ مُعتاداً عَلَيها.» فَخَلَعَها داوُدُ.

And David girded his sword over his armor. Then he tried to go, but could not, for he was not used to it. And David said to Saul, I cannot go with these, for I am not used to them. And David took them off.

40 ف َأخَذَ داوُدُ عَصاهُ بيَدِهِ، وَذَهَبَ وَبَحَثَ عَنْ خَمْسَةِ حِجارَةٍ مَلساءَ مِنَ الجَدوَل. وَلَمّا وَجَدَها، وَضَعَها فِي جِرابِهِ. وَأمسَكَ بمِقلاعهِ فِي يَدِهِ، ثُمَّ انطَلَقَ لِمُلاقاةِ الفِلِسْطِيِّ. داوُدُ يَقتُلُ جُليات

Then he took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones out of the brook and put them in his shepherd’s bag, in his pouch, and his sling was in his hand, and he drew near the Philistine.

41 و َأخَذَ الفِلِسْطِيُّ يَقتَرِبُ أكثَرَ فَأكثَرَ منْ داوُدَ. وَمَشَى أمامَهُ مُساعِدُهُ حاملاً تُرسَهُ.

The Philistine came on and drew near to David, the man who bore the shield going before him.

42 ف َنَظَرَ جُلياتُ إلَى داوُدَ باشْمِئزازٍ وَاحْتِقارٍ، إذْ رَأى أنَّ داوُدَ مُجَرَّدُ وَلَدٍ وَسِيمٍ أحْمَرِ الوَجْهِ.

And when the Philistine looked around and saw David, he scorned and despised him, for he was but an adolescent, with a healthy reddish color and a fair face.

43 ف َقالَ جُلياتُ لِداوُدَ: «أتَظُنُّ أنَّي كَلْبٌ لِتُهاجِمَنِي بِعَصا؟» ثُمَّ نَطَقَ جُلياتُ بِلَعَناتٍ مِنْ آلهَتِهِ عَلَى داوُدَ.

And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you should come to me with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

44 و َقالَ لِداوُدَ: «اقتَرِبْ فَأُطْعِمَ جَسَدَكَ لِلطُّيُورِ وَالحَيواناتِ المُفتَرِسَةِ.»

The Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field.

45 ف َقالَ داوُدُ: «أنتَ تَأْتِي لِتُحارِبَنِي بِسَيفٍ وَبِرُمحٍ وَبِحَرْبَةٍ، أمّا أنا فَآتِي لِأُحارِبُكَ بِاسْمِ اللهِ القَدِيرِ، إلَهِ جُيُوشِ إسْرائِيلَ الَّذِي أهَنْتَهُ.

Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, Whom you have defied.

46 ل ِهَذا فَإنَّ اللهَ سَيَنصُرُنِي عَلَيكَ هَذا اليَومَ. سَأقتُلُكَ، وَسَأقطَعُ رَأْسَكَ، وَأُطعِمُ جَسَدَكَ لِلطُّيُورِ وَالحَيواناتِ المُفتَرِسَةِ. وَسَنَفعَلُ هَذا أيضاً بكُلِّ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ الآخَرِينَ الَّذِينَ مَعكَ. حِينَئِذٍ، سَيَعرِفُ العالَمُ كُلُّهُ أنَّ فِي إسْرائِيلَ إلَهاً.

This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will smite you and cut off your head. And I will give the corpses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

47 و َسَيَعرِفُ جَمِيعُ المُحتَشِدِينَ هُنا أنَّ اللهَ لا يَحتاجُ سُيُوفاً وَرِماحاً ليُخَلِّصَ. المَعرَكَةُ مَعرَكَةُ اللهِ ، وَهُوَ سَيَنصُرُنا عَلَيكُمْ.»

And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.

48 و َتَقَدَّمَ جُلياتُ الفِلِسْطِيُّ لِمُهاجَمَةِ داوُدَ. وَكانَ يَقتَرِبُ بِبُطءٍ أكثَرَ فَأكثَرَ مِنْ داوُدَ. لَكِنَّ داوُدَ رَكَضَ لِمُلاقاتِهِ.

When the Philistine came forward to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.

49 و َأخرَجَ داوُدُ حَجَراً مِنْ جرابِهِ، وَوَضَعَهُ فِي مِقلاعِه، وَضَرَبَ الفِلِسْطِيَّ بِالمِقلاعِ، فَأصابَ الحَجَرُ جُلياتَ بَينَ عَينَيه، وَغُرِزَ فِي رَأْسِهِ. فَسَقَطَ جُلياتُ عَلَى وَجهِهِ إلَى الأرْضِ.

David put his hand into his bag and took out a stone and slung it, and it struck the Philistine, sinking into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.

50 و َهَكَذا تَغَلَّبَ داوُدُ عَلَى الفِلِسْطِيِّ بِمِقلاعٍ وَحَجَرٍ لا غَيرَ! ضَرَبَ الفِلِسْطِيَّ وَقَتَلَهُ دُونَ أنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهُ سَيفٌ.

So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck down the Philistine and slew him. But no sword was in David’s hand.

51 ث ُمَّ رَكَضَ وَوَقَفَ بِجانِبِ الفِلِسْطِيِّ. ثُمَّ أخْرَجَ داوُدُ سَيفَ جُلياتَ مِنْ غمدهِ وَقَطَعَ بِهِ رَأسَهُ. هَكَذا قَتَلَ داوُدُ الفِلِسْطِيَّ. وَلَمّا رَأى الفِلِسْطِيُّونَ جَبّارهُمْ مَيِّتاً، استَدارُوا وَهَرَبُوا.

So he ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their mighty champion was dead, they fled.

52 ف َهَتَفَ جُنُودُ إسْرائِيلَ وَيَهُوذا، وَراحُوا يُطارِدُونَ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ حَتَّى حُدُودِ مَدِينَةِ جَتَّ وَمَدينَةِ عَقرُونَ، وَقَتَلُوا كَثِيرِينَ مِنهُمْ. فَتَناثَرَتْ جُثَثُهُمْ عَلَى طُولِ طَرِيقِ شَعْرايِمَ وَحَتَّى جَتَّ وَعَقرُونَ.

And the men of Israel and Judah rose with a shout and pursued the Philistines as far as Gath and the gates of Ekron. So the wounded Philistines fell along the way from Shaaraim as far as Gath and Ekron.

53 و َبَعدَ أنْ طارَدَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ، رَجِعُوا إلَى مُعَسْكَرِ الفِلِسْطِيِّيِنَ، وَغَنمُوا مِنهُ أشياءَ ثَمِينَةً.

The Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines and plundered their tents.

54 و َأخَذَ داوُدُ رَأْسَ الفِلِسْطِيِّ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ، لَكنَّهُ أبقَى سِلاحَ الفِلِسْطِيِّ في بَيتِه. شاوُلُ يَغارُ مِنْ داوُد

David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.

55 ر اقَبَ شاوُلُ داوُدَ وَهُوَ يُقاتِلُ جُلياتَ. فَسَألَ شاوُلُ أبْنِيْرَ قائِدَ جَيشِهِ: «مَنْ هُوَ أبُو ذَلِكَ الشّاب؟» فَأجابَ أبْنَيْرُ: «أُقْسِمُ أنِّي لا أعْرِفُ يا سَيِّدِي.»

When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell.

56 ف َقالَ المَلِكُ شاوُلُ: «تَحَقَّقْ لِي مَنْ هُوَ.»

And the king said, Inquire whose son the stripling is.

57 ف َلَمّا رَجِعَ داوُدُ بَعدَ أنْ قَتَلَ جُلياتَ، أحْضَرَهُ أبْنَيْرُ إلَى شاوُلَ. وَكانَ داوُدُ مازالَ يَحملُ رَأْسَ الفِلِسْطِيِّ.

When David returned from killing Goliath the Philistine, Abner brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

58 ف َسَألَهُ شاوُلُ: «أيُّها الشّابُّ، مَنْ هُوَ أبُوكَ؟» فَأجابَ داوُدُ: «أنا ابنُ خادمِكَ يَسَّى البَيتَ لَحمِيِّ.»

And Saul said to him, Whose son are you, young man? And David answered, I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.
