| 1 وكان في تلك الايام ان الفلسطينيين جمعوا جيوشهم لكي يحاربوا اسرائيل. فقال اخيش لداود اعلم يقينا انك ستخرج معي في الجيش انت ورجالك. | 1 In those days the Philistines gathered their forces for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, "Understand that you and your men are to go out with me in the army." |
| 2 فقال داود لاخيش لذلك انت ستعلم ما يفعل عبدك. فقال اخيش لداود لذلك اجعلك حارسا لراسي كل الايام. | 2 David said to Achish, "Very well, you shall know what your servant can do." And Achish said to David, "Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life." |
| 3 ومات صموئيل وندبه كل اسرائيل ودفنوه في الرامة في مدينته. وكان شاول قد نفى اصحاب الجان والتوابع من الارض. | 3 Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the wizards out of the land. |
| 4 فاجتمع الفلسطينيون وجاءوا ونزلوا في شونم وجمع شاول جميع اسرائيل ونزل في جلبوع. | 4 The Philistines assembled, and came and encamped at Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel, and they encamped at Gilboa. |
| 5 ولما رأى شاول جيش الفلسطينيين خاف واضطرب قلبه جدا. | 5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. |
| 6 فسأل شاول من الرب فلم يجبه الرب لا بالاحلام ولا بالاوريم ولا بالانبياء. | 6 And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets. |
| 7 فقال شاول لعبيده فتشوا لي على امرأة صاحبة جان فاذهب اليها واسألها. فقال له عبيده هوذا امرأة صاحبة جان في عين دور. | 7 Then Saul said to his servants, "Seek out for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "Behold, there is a medium at Endor." |
| 8 فتنكّر شاول ولبس ثيابا اخرى وذهب هو ورجلان معه وجاءوا الى المرأة ليلا وقال اعرفي لي بالجان واصعدي لي من اقول لك. | 8 So Saul disguised himself and put on other garments, and went, he and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Divine for me by a spirit, and bring up for me whomever I shall name to you." |
| 9 فقالت له المرأة هوذا انت تعلم ما فعل شاول كيف قطع اصحاب الجان والتوابع من الارض. فلماذا تضع شركا لنفسي لتميتها. | 9 The woman said to him, "Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the wizards from the land. Why then are you laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?" |
| 10 فحلف لها شاول بالرب قائلا حيّ هو الرب انه لا يلحقك اثم في هذا الامر. | 10 But Saul swore to her by the LORD, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing." |
| 11 فقالت المرأة من اصعد لك. فقال اصعدي لي صموئيل. | 11 Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" He said, "Bring up Samuel for me." |
| 12 فلما رأت المرأة صموئيل صرخت بصوت عظيم وكلمت المرأة شاول قائلة لماذا خدعتني وانت شاول. | 12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman said to Saul, "Why have you deceived me? You are Saul." |
| 13 فقال لها الملك لا تخافي. فماذا رأيت. فقالت المرأة لشاول رأيت آلهة يصعدون من الارض. | 13 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." |
| 14 فقال لها ما هي صورته. فقالت رجل شيخ صاعد وهو مغطي بجبّة. فعلم شاول انه صموئيل فخرّ على وجهه الى الارض وسجد. | 14 He said to her, "What is his appearance?" And she said, "An old man is coming up; and he is wrapped in a robe." And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance. |
| 15 فقال صموئيل لشاول لماذا اقلقتني باصعادك اياي. فقال شاول قد ضاق بي الأمر جدا. الفلسطينيون يحاربونني والرب فارقني ولم يعد يجيبني لا بالانبياء ولا بالاحلام فدعوتك لكي تعلمني ماذا اصنع. | 15 Then Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" Saul answered, "I am in great distress; for the Philistines are warring against me, and God has turned away from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams; therefore I have summoned you to tell me what I shall do." |
| 16 فقال صموئيل ولماذا تسألني والرب قد فارقك وصار عدوك. | 16 And Samuel said, "Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has turned from you and become your enemy? |
| 17 وقد فعل الرب لنفسه كما تكلم عن يدي وقد شق الرب المملكة من يدك واعطاها لقريبك داود. | 17 The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me; for the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbor, David. |
| 18 لانك لم تسمع لصوت الرب ولم تفعل حمو غضبه في عماليق لذلك قد فعل الرب بك هذا الامر اليوم. | 18 Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD, and did not carry out his fierce wrath against Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day. |
| 19 ويدفع الرب اسرائيل ايضا معك ليد الفلسطينيين وغدا انت وبنوك تكونون معي ويدفع الرب جيش اسرائيل ايضا ليد الفلسطينيين. | 19 Moreover the LORD will give Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons shall be with me; the LORD will give the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines." |
| 20 فاسرع شاول وسقط على طوله الى الارض وخاف جدا من كلام صموئيل وايضا لم تكن فيه قوة لانه لم ياكل طعاما النهار كله والليل | 20 Then Saul fell at once full length upon the ground, filled with fear because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten nothing all day and all night. |
| 21 ثم جاءت المرأة الى شاول ورأت انه مرتاع جدا فقالت له هوذا قد سمعت جاريتك لصوتك فوضعت نفسي في كفّي وسمعت لكلامك الذي كلمتني به. | 21 And the woman came to Saul, and when she saw that he was terrified, she said to him, "Behold, your handmaid has hearkened to you; I have taken my life in my hand, and have hearkened to what you have said to me. |
| 22 والآن اسمع انت ايضا لصوت جاريتك فاضع قدامك كسرة خبز وكل فتكون فيك قوة اذ تسير في الطريق. | 22 Now therefore, you also hearken to your handmaid; let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way." |
| 23 فأبى وقال لا آكل. فالحّ عليه عبداه والمرأة ايضا فسمع لصوتهم وقام عن الارض وجلس على السرير. | 23 He refused, and said, "I will not eat." But his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he hearkened to their words. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed. |
| 24 وكان للمرأة عجل مسمّن في البيت فاسرعت وذبحته واخذت دقيقا وعجنته وخبزت فطيرا | 24 Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she quickly killed it, and she took flour, and kneaded it and baked unleavened bread of it, |
| 25 ثم قدمته امام شاول وامام عبديه فأكلوا. وقاموا وذهبوا في تلك الليلة | 25 and she put it before Saul and his servants; and they ate. Then they rose and went away that night. |
