1 Samuel 25 ~ ﺻﻤﻮﺋﻴﻞ ﺍﻷﻭﻝ 25

picture

1 S amuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and mourned for him, and buried him at his house at Ramah. Then David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

وَماتَ صَمُوئِيلُ. فاجتَمَعَ كُلُّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ مَعاً وَناحُوا عَلَيهِ. ثُمَّ دَفَنُوهُ فِي بَيتِهِ فِي مَدينَةِ الرّامَةِ. وَانتَقَلَ داوُدُ إلَى صَحراءِ فارانَ.

2 T here was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

وَكانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ غَنِيٌّ جِدّاً يَسكُنُ فِي مَعُونَ. فَكانَتْ لَدَيهِ ثَلاثَةُ آلافِ رَأْسٍ مِنَ الغَنَمِ وَألفُ رَأْسٍ منَ الماعِزِ. وَكانَ يَذهَبُ إلَى الكَرمِلِ لِكَي يَجُزَّ صُوفَ غَنَمِهِ.

3 N ow the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail. This woman was intelligent and had a beautiful face; but the man was surly and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.

وَكانَ اسْمُ هَذا الرَّجُلِ نابالَ وَيَنتَمِي إلَى عائِلَةِ كالِبَ. وَكانَ مُتَزَوِّجاً مِنْ أبِيجايِلَ، وَهِيَ امْرأةٌ حَكِيمَةٌ وَجَميلَةٌ. أمّا نابالُ نَفسُهُ، فَكانَ سَيِّئَ الطَّبعِ وَقاسِياً.

4 D avid heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

وَكانَ داوُدُ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ عِندَما سَمِعَ أنَّ نابالَ يَجُزُّ غَنَمَهُ.

5 D avid sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

فَأرسَلَ داوُدُ عَشْرَةَ رِجالٍ لِيَتَحَدَّثُوا إلَى نابالَ. وَأوصاهُمْ داوُدُ فَقالَ: «اذهَبُوا إلَى الكَرمِلِ. زُورُوا نابالَ وَاطمَئِنُّوا عَلَى أحْوالِهِ.»

6 T ell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

وَطَلَبَ إلَيْهِمْ أنْ يُوصِلُوا هَذِهِ الرِّسالَةَ إلَى نابالَ: سَلامٌ لَكَ، وَسَلامٌ لأهلِ بَيتِكَ وَجَمِيعِ مُمتَلَكاتِكَ.

7 N ow I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t harm them, neither was there anything missing from them, all the while they were in Carmel.

سَمِعْتُ أنَّكَ تَجُزُّ صُوفَ غَنَمِكَ. وَقَدْ كانَ رُعاتُكَ مَعَنا مُدَّةً منَ الزَّمَنِ، لَمْ نُسِئْ إلَيْهِمْ أثناءَها. فَلَمْ نَأْخُذْ شَيئاً مِنهُمْ عِندَما كانُوا فِي الكَرمِلِ.

8 A sk your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come on a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.’”

اسألْ خُدّامَكَ إنْ أرَدْتَ، وَسَيُخبِرُونَكَ بِصِدقِ ما أقُولُ. فَأرجُو أنْ تُحسِنَ مُعامَلَةَ الفِتيانِ الَّذِينَ أُرسِلُهُمْ إلَيكَ. وَها نَحنُ نَأْتِي إلَيكَ فِي يَومِ خَيرٍ وَفَرَحٍ وَسَلامٍ، فَأرجُو أنْ تُعطِيَ رِجالِي ما تَجُودُ بِه نَفسُكَ. اعمَلْ هَذا المَعرُوفَ مَعِي أنا ابنَكَ وَخادِمَكَ داوُدَ.

9 W hen David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in the name of David, and waited.

فَذَهَبَ رِجالُ داوُدَ إلَى نابالَ. وَأوصَلُوا رِسالَةَ داوُدَ إلَيهِ.

10 N abal answered David’s servants, and said, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.

فَقالَ نابالُ: «مَنْ هُوَ داوُدُ هَذا؟ وَمَنْ يَكُونُ ابْنُ يَسَّى؟ كَثِيرُونَ هُمُ العَبِيدُ الهارِبُونَ مِنْ سَادَتِهِمْ هَذِهِ الأيّامَ!

11 S hall I then take my bread, my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”

لَدَيَّ خُبزٌ وَماءٌ وَلَحمٌ. لَكنْ هَذَهِ مِنْ أجلِ عَبِيدِي الَّذِينَ يَجُزُّونَ غَنَمِي، وَلَنْ أُعطِيَها لِرِجالٍ لا أعرِفُهُمْ.»

12 S o David’s young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him all these words.

فَرَجِعَ رِجالُ داوُدَ، وَأخبَرُوهُ بكُلِّ ما قالَهُ نابالُ.

13 D avid said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.

فَقالَ داوُدُ: «تَقَلَّدُوا سُيُوفَكُمْ.» فَتَقَلَّدَ داوُدُ وَرِجالُهُ سُيُوفَهُمْ. فَذَهَبَ مَعَ داوُدَ نَحْوَ أربَعِ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ، بَينَما بَقِيَ مِئَةُ رَجُلٍ مَعَ المُؤَنِ. أبِيجايِلُ تَمنعُ القتال

14 B ut one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to Greet our master; and he insulted them.

وَتَحَدَّثَ أحَدُ خُدّامِ نابالَ إلَى أبِيجايِلَ، زَوجَةِ سَيِّدِهِ فَقالَ: «أرسَلَ داوُدُ رُسُلاً مِنَ الصَّحراءِ لِلِقاءِ سَيِّدِي، لَكِنَّ سَيِّدِي نابالَ رَدَّهُمْ بِفَظاظَةٍ.

15 B ut the men were very good to us, and we were not harmed, and we didn’t miss anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.

كانَ رِجالُ داوُدَ هَؤُلاءِ طَيِّبِينَ جِدّاً مَعَنا عِندَما خَرَجنا إلَى الحُقُولِ مَعَ المَواشِي. بَقُوا مَعَنا طَوالَ الوَقتِ دُونَ أنْ يُسِيئُوا إلَينا، أوْ يَأْخُذُوا شَيئاً مِنّا.

16 T hey were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

حَرَسُونا لَيلاً وَنَهاراً. فَكانُوا مِثلَ سُورٍ حَولَنا عِندَما كُنّا نَرعَى الغَنَمَ بَينَهُمْ.

17 N ow therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house; for he is such a worthless fellow that one can’t speak to him.”

وَقَدْ أخطَأ سَيِّدِي فِي ما قالَهُ. وَإنِّي أتَوَقَّعُ أنْ يَأْتِيَ شَرٌّ عَلَى سَيِّدِي وَعَلَى كُلِّ عائِلَتِهِ بِسَبَبِ تَصَرُّفِهِ الشِّرِّير وَغَيرِ الحَكِيمِ. فَفَكِّرِي أنتِ بِما يُمكِنُ عَمَلُهُ لِمُعالَجَةِ الوَضعِ.»

18 T hen Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five seahs of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

فَأسرَعَتْ أبِيجايِلُ وَجَمَعَتْ مِئَتَي رَغِيفٍ مِنَ الخُبزِ، وَوِعائينِ جِلدِيَّينِ مِنَ النَّبِيذِ، وَخَمسَةَ خِرافٍ مَطبُوخَةٍ، وَخَمسَةَ مَكاييلِ مِنَ الفَرِيكِ، وَسَلَّةً مِنَ الزَّبِيبِ، وَمِئَتَي كَعكَةٍ مِنَ التِّينِ المَكبُوسِ، وَحَمَّلَتْها عَلَى الدَّوابِ.

19 S he said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I am coming after you.” But she didn’t tell her husband, Nabal.

ثُمَّ قالَتْ لِخُدّامِها: «اذهَبُوا، وَسَألحَقُ بِكُمْ.» فَعَلَتْ هَذا دُونَ أنْ تُخبِرَ زَوجَها.

20 A s she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.

وَرَكِبَتْ أبِيجايِلُ حِمارَها وَنَزَلَتْ إلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ مِنَ الجَبَلِ. فَقابَلَتْ داوُدَ وَرِجالَهُ وَهُمْ خارِجُونَ مِنَ الاتِّجاهِ الآخَرِ.

21 N ow David had said, “Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.

وَقالَ داوُدُ: «كانَ كُلُّ ما فَعَلْتُهُ مِنْ أجلِ نابالَ عَبَثاً. حَمَيتُ أملاكَهُ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ. وَحَرِصتُ عَلَى أنْ لا يَضِيعَ خَرُوفٌ واحِدٌ مِنْ خِرافِهِ. كُنتُ طَيِّباً مَعَهُ، فَلَمْ يُعامِلْنِي بِالمِثلِ.

22 G od do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”

فَأنا أُقسِمُ أنِّي سَأقتُلُ كُلَّ فَردٍ فِي عائِلَةِ نابالَ قَبلَ حُلُولِ صَباحِ الغَدِ.»

23 W hen Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off of her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

فِي تِلكَ اللَّحظَةِ وَصَلَتْ أبِيجايِلُ. فَأسرَعَتْ بِالنُّزُولِ عَنْ حِمارِها، وَانحَنَتْ أمامَ داوُدَ وَوَجهُها إلَى الأرْضِ.

24 S he fell at his feet, and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the blame! Please let your servant speak in your ears. Hear the words of your servant.

وَوَقَعَتْ أبِيجايِلُ عِندَ قَدَمَيهِ وَقالَتْ: «أعطِنِي فُرصَةً لِأتَكَلَّمَ مَعكَ يا مَولايَ. اسمَعْ ما سَأقُولُهُ لَكَ، وَاعتَبِرِ الذَّنبَ فِي ما حَدَثَ ذَنبِي أنا.

25 P lease don’t let my lord pay attention to this worthless fellow, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men, whom you sent.

لا تَلتَفِتْ إلَى ما فَعَلَهُ هَذا الرَّجُلُ التّافِهُ، نابالُ. فاسْمُهُ يَعنِي ‹أحْمَقَ!› وَهَذا يَتَناسَبُ مَعَهُ حَقّاً. أمّا أنا فَلَمْ أرَ رِجالَكَ الَّذِينَ أرسَلْتَهُمْ.

26 N ow therefore, my lord, as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, since Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

وَها قَدْ مَنَعَكَ اللهُ يا مَولايَ مِنْ قَتلِ الأبرِياءِ وَمنَ الانْتِقامِ لِنَفْسِكَ. وَأنا أتَمَنَّى باللهِ الحَيِّ، وَبِحَياتِكَ، أنْ يَصِيْرَ أعداؤُكَ وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُرِيدُ بِكَ أذَىً كَنابالَ.

27 N ow this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

«ها قَدْ أحضَرْتُ أنا أمَتَكَ لَكَ هَدِيَّةً يا سَيِّدِي، فَأعطِها لِرِجالِكَ.

28 P lease forgive the trespass of your servant. For Yahweh will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights Yahweh’s battles. Evil will not be found in you all your days.

وَاغفِرْ لِي ذَنبِي. وَأنا أعرِفُ أنَّ اللهَ سَيُرَسِّخُ عائِلَتَكَ لِأنَّكَ تُحارِبُ حُرُوبَهُ. وَلَنْ يَجِدَ النّاسُ ما يَلُومُونَكَ عَلَيهِ ما دُمتَ حَيّاً.

29 T hough men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.

فَإنْ طارَدَكَ شَخصٌ لِيَقتُلَكَ، فَإنَّ حَياتَكَ يا مَولايَ مَحْفوظَةٌ تَحْتَ عِنايَةِ إلَهِكَ. أمّا حَياةُ عَدُوِّكَ فَسَيَرمِيها كَما يُرمَى حَجَرٌ مِنْ مِقلاعٍ.

30 I t will come to pass, when Yahweh has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel,

وَعَدَكَ اللهُ بِأشْياءَ كَثِيرَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ، وَسَيحَفَظُ وُعُودَهُ لَكَ. وَسَيَجعَلُكَ رَئِيساً عَلَى إسْرائِيلَ.

31 t hat this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When Yahweh has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”

فَلا تُحزِنْ نَفسَكَ يا مَولايَ، وَلا تُتعِبْ ضَمِيرَكَ بِسَفكِ دَمٍ لا مُبَرِّرَ لَهُ، وَلا هُوَ دِفاعٌ عَنِ نَفسَكِ. وَإنِّي لأرجُو أنْ تَذكُرَنِي حِينَ يُبارِكُكَ اللهُ يا مَولايَ.»

32 D avid said to Abigail, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!

فَأجابَ داوُدُ أبِيجايِلَ: «أشْكُرُ اللهَ ، إلَهَ إسْرائِيلَ، لِأنَّهُ أرسَلَكِ لِلِقائِي.

33 B lessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

مُبارَكَةٌ أنتِ وَمُبارَكَةٌ رَجاحَةُ عَقلِكِ. فَقَدْ مَنَعْتِنِي اليَومَ مِنْ أنْ أقتُلَ لِأُحَقِّقَ مُرادِيَ.

34 F or indeed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”

أُقْسِمُ باللهِ ، إلَهِ إسْرائِيلَ الحَيِّ، لَولا أنَّكِ أسرَعتِ لِلِقائِي، لَما أشْرَقَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى أحَدٍ مِنْ عائِلَةِ نابالَ. لَكِنَّ اللهَ مَنَعَنِي مِنْ أنْ أُؤذِيَكِ.»

35 S o David received from her hand that which she had brought him. Then he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice, and have granted your request.”

وَقَبِلَ داوُدُ هَدِيَّةَ أبِيجايِلَ وَقالَ لَها: «اذهَبِي مَعَ السَّلامَةِ. لَقَدْ فَعَلْتُ كَما طَلَبتِ. وَها أنا أُعِيدُكِ راضِيَةً.» مَوتُ نابال

36 A bigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing, until the morning light.

فَرَجِعَتْ أبِيجايِلُ إلَى نابالَ. وَكانَتْ فِي بَيتِهِ وَلِيمَةٌ كَوَلِيمَةِ المَلِكِ. وَسَكِرَ وَانتَشَى. فَلَمْ تُخبِرْهُ أبِيجايِلُ بِشَيءٍ حَتَّى صَباحِ اليَومِ التّالِي.

37 I n the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

وَفِي الصَّباحِ التّالِي، كانَ نابالُ صاحِياً، فَأخبَرَتْهُ زَوجَتُهُ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ. فَأُصِيبَ بِنَوبَةٍ قَلبِيَّةٍ وَتَصَلَّبَ كَصَخرَةٍ.

38 A bout ten days later, Yahweh struck Nabal, so that he died.

وَبَعدَ عَشْرَةِ أيّامٍ أصابَهُ اللهُ بِنَوبَةٍ أُخْرَى، فَماتَ.

39 W hen David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is Yahweh, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. Yahweh has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ داوُدُ أنَّ نابالَ ماتَ، قالَ: «مُبارَكٌ اللهُ. فَقَدْ أهانَنِي نابالُ، لَكِنَّ اللهَ دافَعَ عَنْ كَرامَتِي. مَنَعَنِي اللهُ مِنَ ارتِكابِ إساءَةٍ، وَجَعَلَ نابالَ يَدفَعُ ثَمَنَ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي فَعَلَهُ.» ثُمَّ أرسَلَ داوُدُ رِسالَةً إلَى أبِيجايِلَ طالِباً يَدَها للزَّواجِ.

40 W hen David’s servants had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as wife.”

فَذَهَبَ خُدّامُهُ إلَى الكَرمِلِ. وَقالُوا لَها: «أرسَلَنا داوُدُ لِنُحضِرَكِ إلَيهِ، فَهُوَ يَطلُبُكِ زَوجَةً لَهُ.»

41 S he arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”

فانحَنَتْ أبِيجايِلُ وَوَجهُها إلَى الأرْضِ. وَقالَتْ: «أنا مُستَعِدَّةٌ أنْ أكُونَ جارِيَةً لِسَيِّدِي داوُدَ، حَتَّى وَلَو لَمْ يَكُنْ لِي عَمَلٌ آخَرُ غَيرَ أنْ أغسِلَ أقْدامَ رِجالِهِ.»

42 A bigail hurried, and arose, and rode on a donkey, with five ladies of hers who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

وَأسرَعَتْ أِبيجايِلُ بِالرُّكُوبِ عَلَى حِمارٍ، وَأخَذَتْ خَمساً مِنْ خادِماتِها مَعَها. فَتَبِعنَ رُسُلَ داوُدَ، وَتَزَوَّجَتْ أبِيجايِلُ مِنْ داوُدَ.

43 D avid also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.

وَتَزَوَّجَ دَاوُدُ أيضاً أخِينُوعَمَ مِنْ يَزرَعِيلَ، فَكانَتِ الاثْنَتانِ زَوجَتَينِ لِداوُدَ.

44 N ow Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.

وَكانَ شاوُلَ قَدْ أعْطَى ابنَتَهُ مِيكالَ – زَوجَةَ داوُدَ – لِرَجُلٍ اسْمُهُ فَلْطِي بْنُ لايِشَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ جَلِّيمَ.
