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

And the Philistines assembled their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.

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

And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of terebinths, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.

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

And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side; and the ravine was between them.

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

And there went out a champion from 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 helmet of bronze upon his head, and he was clothed with a corselet of scales; and the weight of the corselet was five thousand shekels of bronze.

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

And he had greaves of bronze upon his legs, and a javelin of bronze between 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; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and the 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.

And he stood and cried to the ranks of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I the Philistine, and ye servants of Saul? choose for yourselves a man, 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 be able to fight with me, and to smite me, then will we be your servants; but if I overcome and smite him, then shall ye 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 have defied 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

And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and 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.

Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-Judah whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was old in the days of Saul, advanced among men.

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

And the three eldest of the sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

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

And David was the youngest; and the three eldest had followed Saul.

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

But David went and returned 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.

And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself 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, I pray, for thy brethren, this ephah of parched and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to thy brethren;

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

and carry these ten cheeses to the captain of the thousand, and visit thy brethren to see how they are, and take a pledge of them.

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

Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel in the valley of terebinths, fighting against 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.

And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took his charge and went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the wagon-defence; and the host which was going forth to the battle-array shouted for the fight.

21 و َاصطَفَّ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ وَالفِلِسْطِيُّونَ استِعداداً لِلقِتالِ.

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

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

And David left the things he was carrying in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran into the ranks, and came and saluted his brethren.

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.

And as he talked with them, behold there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words; and David heard.

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 and were greatly afraid.

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 men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that comes up? for to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who smites him, him will the king 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 spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that smites 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 people told him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that smites 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.»

And Eliab, his eldest brother, heard while he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.

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

And David said, What have I now done? Was it not laid upon me?

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

And he turned from him to another, and spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him again after the former manner.

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

And the words were heard which David spoke, and they rehearsed them before 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.»

And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him: thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

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, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war 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, Thy servant fed his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and also 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.

And I went after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I seized him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

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

Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, because 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.»

And David said, Jehovah 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 Jehovah be with thee.

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

And Saul clothed David with his dress, and put a helmet of bronze upon his head, and clothed him with a corselet.

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 upon his dress, and endeavoured to go; for he had not yet tried. And David said to Saul, I cannot go in these; for I have never tried. And David put them off him.

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

And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag that he had, into the pocket; and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.

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

And the Philistine came on and approached David; and the man that bore the shield was before him.

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

And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was a youth, and ruddy, and besides of a beautiful countenance.

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 thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

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

And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the fowls of the heavens and to 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.

And David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin; but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast 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 will Jehovah deliver thee up into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the camp of the Philistines this day to the fowl of the heavens and to the wild beasts of the earth. And all the earth shall know that Israel has a God;

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

and all this congregation shall know that Jehovah saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is Jehovah'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.

And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and advanced to meet David, that David hasted, and ran towards the ranks 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.

And David put his hand into the bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, and the stone sank 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 overcame the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and killed him; and there was no sword in the hand of David.

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.

And David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him completely, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their hero 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 of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to the ravine and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down on the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.

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

And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they pillaged their camps.

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

And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour 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.»

And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.

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

And the king said, Inquire thou whose son this youth is.

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

And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
