1 Samuel 7

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then the men of Kiriath-jearim arrived, and they led away the ark of the Lord. And they brought it into the house of Abinadab, in Gibeah. Then they sanctified Eleazar, his son, so that he might care for the ark of the Lord.	1 فجاء اهل قرية يعاريم واصعدوا تابوت الرب وادخلوه الى بيت ابيناداب في الأكمة وقدسوا العازار ابنه لاجل حراسة تابوت الرب
2 And it happened that, from that day, the ark of the Lord remained in Kiriath-jearim. And the days were multiplied (for it was now the twentieth year) and all the house of Israel rested, following the Lord.	2 وكان من يوم جلوس التابوت في قرية يعاريم ان المدة طالت وكانت عشرين سنة وناح كل بيت اسرائيل وراء الرب.
3 Then Samuel spoke to the entire house of Israel, saying: “If you would return to the Lord with your whole heart, take away strange gods from among you, the Baals and Ashtaroth, and prepare your hearts for the Lord, and serve him alone. And he will rescue you from the hand of the Philistines.”	3 وكلم صموئيل كل بيت اسرائيل قائلا ان كنتم بكل قلوبكم راجعين الى الرب فانزعوا الآلهة الغريبة والعشتاروث من وسطكم واعدّوا قلوبكم للرب واعبدوه وحده فينقذكم من يد الفلسطينيين.
4 Therefore, the sons of Israel took away the Baals and Ashtaroth, and they served the Lord alone.	4 فنزع بنو اسرائيل البعليم والعشتاروث وعبدوا الرب وحده
5 And Samuel said, “Gather all of Israel at Mizpah, so that I may pray for you to the Lord.”	5 فقال صموئيل اجمعوا كل اسرائيل الى المصفاة فاصلّي لاجلكم الى الرب.
6 And they convened at Mizpah. And they drew water, and they poured it out in the sight of the Lord. And on that day they fasted, and in that place they said, “We have sinned against the Lord.” And Samuel judged the sons of Israel at Mizpah.	6 فاجتمعوا الى المصفاة واستقوا ماء وسكبوه امام الرب وصاموا في ذلك اليوم وقالوا هناك قد اخطأنا الى الرب. وقضى صموئيل لبني اسرائيل في المصفاة.
7 And the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel had gathered together at Mizpah. And the princes of the Philistines ascended against Israel. And when the sons of Israel had heard this, they were afraid before the face of the Philistines.	7 وسمع الفلسطينيون ان بني اسرائيل قد اجتمعوا في المصفاة فصعد اقطاب الفلسطينيين الى اسرائيل. فلما سمع بنو اسرائيل خافوا من الفلسطينيين.
8 And they said to Samuel, “May you not cease to cry out to the Lord our God on our behalf, so that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”	8 وقال بنو اسرائيل لصموئيل لا تكف عن الصراخ من اجلنا الى الرب الهنا فيخلصنا من يد الفلسطينيين.
9 Then Samuel took one suckling lamb, and he offered it whole, as a holocaust to the Lord. And Samuel cried out to the Lord on behalf of Israel, and the Lord heeded him.	9 فاخذ صموئيل حملا رضيعا واصعده محرقة بتمامه للرب. وصرخ صموئيل الى الرب من اجل اسرائيل فاستجاب له الرب.
10 Then it happened that, while Samuel was offering the holocaust, the Philistines began the battle against Israel. But the Lord thundered with a great crash, on that day, over the Philistines, and he terrified them, and they were cut down before the face of Israel.	10 وبينما كان صموئيل يصعد المحرقة تقدم الفلسطينيون لمحاربة اسرائيل فارعد الرب بصوت عظيم في ذلك اليوم على الفلسطينيين وازعجهم فانكسروا امام اسرائيل.
11 And the men of Israel, departing from Mizpah, pursued the Philistines, and they struck them down as far as the place which was below Bethcar.	11 وخرج رجال اسرائيل من المصفاة وتبعوا الفلسطينيين وضربوهم الى ما تحت بيت كار.
12 Then Samuel took a single stone, and he placed it between Mizpah and Shen. And he called the name of this place: The Stone of Assistance. And he said, “For in this place the Lord gave assistance to us.”	12 فاخذ صموئيل حجرا ونصبه بين المصفاة والسنّ ودعا اسمه حجر المعونة وقال الى هنا اعاننا الرب.
13 And the Philistines were humbled, and they no longer drew near, so that they might enter into the borders of Israel. And so, the hand of the Lord was over the Philistines during all the days of Samuel.	13 فذلّ الفلسطينيون ولم يعودوا بعد للدخول في تخم اسرائيل وكانت يد الرب على الفلسطينيين كل ايام صموئيل.
14 And the cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron as far as Gath, with their borders. And he freed Israel from the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.	14 والمدن التي اخذها الفلسطينيون من اسرائيل رجعت الى اسرائيل من عقرون الى جتّ. واستخلص اسرائيل تخومها من يد الفلسطينيين. وكان صلح بين اسرائيل والاموريين
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.	15 وقضى صموئيل لاسرائيل كل ايام حياته.
16 And he went each year, traveling around to Bethel, and to Gilgal, and to Mizpah, and he judged Israel in the above-stated places.	16 وكان يذهب من سنة الى سنة ويدور في بيت ايل والجلجال والمصفاة ويقضي لاسرائيل في جميع هذه المواضع.
17 And he returned to Ramah. For his house was there, and he judged Israel there. And then he built an altar to the Lord there.	17 وكان رجوعه الى الرامة لان بيته هناك وهناك قضى لاسرائيل وبنى هناك مذبحا للرب
