1 Samuel 14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 One day Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the Philistine garrison on yonder side." But he did not tell his father.	1 ܘܗܘܐ ܝܘܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܒܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܕܫܩܝܠ ܡܐ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܬܐ ܢܥܒܪ ܠܩܝܡܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܕܠܗܠ ܘܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܚܘܝ
2 Saul was staying in the outskirts of Gibe-ah under the pomegranate tree which is at Migron; the people who were with him were about six hundred men,	2 ܘܫܐܘܠ ܝܬ̇ܒ ܒܣܘܦܐ ܕܪܡܬܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܘܡܢܐ ܕܒܓܒܥܘܢ ܘܥܡܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗ ܐܝܟ ܫܬܡܐܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ
3 and Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.	3 ܘܐܚܝܐ ܒܪ ܐܚܝܛܘܒ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܟܒܪ ܒܪ ܦܝܢܚܝܣ ܒܪ ܥܠܝ ܟܗܢܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܒܫܝܠܘ ܘܫܩ̇ܠ ܦܕܬܐ ܘܥܡܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܕܐܙܠ ܝܘܢܬܢ
4 In the pass, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistine garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.	4 ܠܒܝܬ ܡܥܒܪܬܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܕܢܥܒܪ ܠܩܝܡܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܫܢܐ ܕܟܐܦܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܪܐ ܡܟܐ ܘܫܢܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܕܟܐܦܐ ܡܟܐ ܫܡܗ̇ ܕܚܕܐ ܒܨܘܨ ܘܫܡܗ̇ ܕܐܚܪܬܐ ܣܝܥܐ
5 The one crag rose on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.	5 ܫܢܐ ܚܕܐ ܢܓܕܐ ܡܢ ܓܪܒܝܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܡܟܡܣ ܘܐܚܪܬܐ ܡܢ ܬܝܡܢܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܓܒܥ
6 And Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us; for nothing can hinder the LORD from saving by many or by few."	6 ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܕܫܩܝܠ ܡܐ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܬܐ ܢܥܒܪ ܠܩܝܡܐ ܕܥܘܪ̈ܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܛܟ ܢܥܕܪܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܟܠܝܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܦܪܩ ܒܣܓܝ ܐܘ ܒܙܥܘܪ
7 And his armor-bearer said to him, "Do all that your mind inclines to; behold, I am with you, as is your mind so is mine."	7 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܩ̇ܠ ܡܐ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܥܒܕ ܟܘܠ ܕܒܠܒܟ ܘܣܛܝ ܙܠ ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܡܟ ܟܠ ܕܒܠܒܟ ܥܒܕ
8 Then said Jonathan, "Behold, we will cross over to the men, and we will show ourselves to them.	8 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܥܒܪܝܢܢ ܥܠ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܘܢܬܓܠܐ ܠܗܘܢ
9 If they say to us, Wait until we come to you,' then we will stand still in our place, and we will not go up to them.	9 ܐܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܢ ܫܬܘܩܘ ܥܕ ܢܡܛܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܢܩܘܡ ܒܕܘܟܬܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܣܩ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
10 But if they say, Come up to us,' then we will go up; for the LORD has given them into our hand. And this shall be the sign to us."	10 ܘܐܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܢ ܣܩܘ ܠܘܬܢ ܢܣܩ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܒܐܝܕܢ ܗܕܐ ܠܢ ܐܬܐ
11 So both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, "Look, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hid themselves."	11 ܘܐܬܓܠܝܘ ܬܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܩܝܡܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܗܐ ܥܒܪ̈ܝܐ ܢܦܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܚ̈ܠܠܐ ܕܐܬܛܫܝܘ ܬܡܢ
12 And the men of the garrison hailed Jonathan and his armor-bearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you a thing." And Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, "Come up after me; for the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel."	12 ܘܥܢܘ ܐܢܫ̈ܝ ܩܝܡܐ ܠܝܘܢܬܢ ܘܠܫܩ̇ܠ ܡܐ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܣܩܘ ܠܘܬܢ ܘܢܘܕܥܟܘܢ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܠܫܩ̇ܠ ܡܐ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܣܩ ܒܬܪܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
13 Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, and his armor-bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer killed them after him;	13 ܘܣܠܩ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܥܠ ܪ̈ܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܫܩ̇ܠ ܡܐ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܢܦܠ ܩܝܡܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܩܕܡ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܘܫ̇ܩܠ ܡܐ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܡܩܛܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪܗ
14 and that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor-bearer made, was of about twenty men within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.	14 ܘܗܘܬ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܕܡܚܐ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܘܫܩ̇ܠ ܡܐ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܦܣ̈ܘܠܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܒܪ̈ܝ ܦܕܢܐ ܒܚܩܠܐ
15 And there was a panic in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and even the raiders trembled; the earth quaked; and it became a very great panic.	15 ܘܗܘܬ ܙܘܥܬܐ ܡܢ ܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܕܒܚܩܠܐ ܘܒܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܘܡܚ̈ܒܠܢܐ ܙܥܘ ܘܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܙܥܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܗܘܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܚܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibe-ah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude was surging hither and thither.	16 ܘܚܙܘ ܕܘܩ̈ܐ ܕܫܐܘܠ ܕܒܓܒܥܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܡܝܢ ܘܗܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܙܥ ܘܐܙܠ ܘܐܬܬܒܪ
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Number and see who has gone from us." And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not there.	17 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܥܡܐ ܕܥܡܗ ܦܩܘܕܘ ܘܚܙܘ ܡܢܘ ܐܙܠ ܡܢܢ ܘܦܩܕܘ ܘܚܙܘ ܘܗܐ ܠܝܬ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܘܫܩ̇ܠ ܡܐ̈ܢܘܗܝ
18 And Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring hither the ark of God." For the ark of God went at that time with the people of Israel.	18 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܐܚܝܐ ܩܪܒ ܐܪܘܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܬܡܢ ܗܘܐ ܐܪܘܢܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܥܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
19 And while Saul was talking to the priest, the tumult in the camp of the Philistines increased more and more; and Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."	19 ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܟܗܢܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܒܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܐܙܠ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܟܗܢܐ ܟܢܘܫ ܐܝܕܟ
20 Then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and went into the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was very great confusion.	20 ܘܩܥܐ ܫܐܘܠ ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܥܡܗ ܘܐܬܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܩܪܒܐ ܘܗܐ ܗܘܬ ܬܡܢ ܚܪܒܗ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܒܚܒܪܗ ܫܓܝܫܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܛܒ
21 Now the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines before that time and who had gone up with them into the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.	21 ܥܒܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܬܡܠܝ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܡܢܬܡܠܝ ܘܣܠܩܘ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܠܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܘܚܕܝܪ̈ܝܢ ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܥܡ ܫܐܘܠ ܘܝܘܢܬܢ
22 Likewise, when all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were fleeing, they too followed hard after them in the battle.	22 ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܡܛܫܝܢ ܒܛܘܪܐ ܕܐܦܪܝܡ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܥܪܩܘ ܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܙܕܝܢܘ ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܒܬܪܗܘܢ ܠܩܪܒܐ
23 So the LORD delivered Israel that day; and the battle passed beyond Beth-aven.	23 ܘܦܪܩ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܘܩܪܒܐ ܥܒܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܘܢ
24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul laid an oath on the people, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats food until it is evening and I am avenged on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.	24 ܠܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܩܪܒ ܫܐܘܠ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܥܡܐ ܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܐܟܘܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܪܡܫܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܦܪܥ ܡܢ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝ ܘܠܐ ܛܥܡܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܠܚܡܐ
25 And all the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.	25 ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܥܠܘ ܒܥܒܐ ܘܗܐ ܕܒܫܐ ܒܥܒܐ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܚܩܠܐ
26 And when the people entered the forest, behold, the honey was dropping, but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.	26 ܘܥܠܘ ܥܡܐ ܒܥܒܐ ܘܪ̈ܕܐ ܕܒܫܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܡܘܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ ܠܦܘܡܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠܘ ܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܘܡ̈ܬܐ
27 But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; so he put forth the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes became bright.	27 ܘܝܘܢܬܢ ܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܟܕ ܐܘܡܝ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܐܘܫܛ ܗܘ ܒܪܝܫ ܚܘܛܪܐ ܕܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܛܡܫܗ ܒܟܟܪܝܬܐ ܕܕܒܫܐ ܘܐܗܦܟ ܐܝܕܗ ܠܦܘܡܗ ܘܢܗܪ ܥܝ̈ܢܘܗܝ
28 Then one of the people said, "Your father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man who eats food this day.'" And the people were faint.	28 ܘܥܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܘܢܬܢ ܡܘܡܝܘ ܐܘܡܝ ܐܒܘܟ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܐܟܘܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܘܐܬܛܪܦ ܥܡܐ
29 Then Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land; see how my eyes have become bright, because I tasted a little of this honey.	29 ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܕܠܚܗ̇ ܐܒܝ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܚܙܘ ܕܢܗܪ ܥܝܢ̈ܝ ܕܛܥܡܬ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܢ ܕܒܫܐ ܗܢܐ
30 How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found; for now the slaughter among the Philistines has not been great."	30 ܘܐܦ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܐܟܠ ܥܡܐ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܡܢ ܒܙܬܐ ܕܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܘܗܝ ܕܐܫܟܚ ܡܛܠ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܒܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ
31 They struck down the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint;	31 ܘܚܪܒܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܒܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܡܢ ܡܟܡܣ ܐܝܠܘܢ ܘܐܬܛܪܦ ܥܡܐ ܛܒ
32 the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep and oxen and calves, and slew them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.	32 ܘܐܬܠܥܒܘ ܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܒܙܬܐ ܘܕܒܪܘ ܥܢܐ ܘܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܘܥ̈ܓܠܐ ܘܢܟܣܘ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܟܠܘ ܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܕܡܐ
33 Then they told Saul, "Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD, by eating with the blood." And he said, "You have dealt treacherously; roll a great stone to me here. "	33 ܘܚܘܝܘ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܗܐ ܥܡܐ ܚܛܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܟܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܕܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܐܥܠܝܬܘܢ ܓܙܘܪܘ ܠܝ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܪܒܬܐ
34 And Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Let every man bring his ox or his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood.'" So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night, and slew them there.	34 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܐܬܟܪܟܘ ܒܥܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܓܒܪ ܬܘܪܗ ܘܓܒܪ ܥܪܒܗ ܘܟܘܣܘ ܗܪܟܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܛܘܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܬܐܟܠܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܡܐ ܘܩܪܒܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܓܒܪ ܬܘܪܗ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܢܟܣܘ ܬܡܢ
35 And Saul built an altar to the LORD; it was the first altar that he built to the LORD.	35 ܘܒܢܐ ܬܡܢ ܫܐܘܠ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܒܢܐ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ
36 Then Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night and despoil them until the morning light; let us not leave a man of them." And they said, "Do whatever seems good to you." But the priest said, "Let us draw near hither to God."	36 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܢܚܘܬ ܒܬܪ ܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܢܒܘܙ ܒܗܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܗܪ ܨܦܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܓܒܪ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܟܠ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ ܢܥܒܕ
37 And Saul inquired of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Wilt thou give them into the hand of Israel?" But he did not answer him that day.	37 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܚܘܬ ܒܬܪ ܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܡܫܠܡ ܐܢܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܠܐ ܥܢܝܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ
38 And Saul said, "Come hither, all you leaders of the people; and know and see how this sin has arisen today.	38 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܝ ܗܪܟܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܫܪ̈ܒܬܗ ܕܥܡܐ ܘܕܥܘ ܘܚܙܘ ܒܡܢܐ ܗܘܬ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܝܘܡܢܐ
39 For as the LORD lives who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.	39 ܡܛܠ ܕܚܝ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܦܪܩ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܒܝܘܢܬܢ ܒܪܝ ܐܠܐ ܡܡܬ ܢܡܘܬ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܥܢܝܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ
40 Then he said to all Israel, "You shall be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side." And the people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."	40 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܣܛܪܐ ܚܕ ܘܐܢܐ ܘܝܘܢܬܢ ܒܪܝ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܣܛܪܐ ܚܕ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܥܡܐ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܟܠ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܥܒܕ
41 Therefore Saul said, "O LORD God of Israel, why hast thou not answered thy servant this day? If this guilt is in me or in Jonathan my son, O LORD, God of Israel, give Urim; but if this guilt is in thy people Israel, give Thummim." And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.	41 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗܒ ܫܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܐܬܬܚܕ ܫܐܘܠ ܘܝܘܢܬܢ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܥܡܐ
42 Then Saul said, "Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan." And Jonathan was taken.	42 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܐܪܡܘ ܒܝ̈ܢܝ ܘܠܝܘܢܬܢ ܒܪܝ ܘܐܬܬܚܕ ܝܘܢܬܢ
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, "I tasted a little honey with the tip of the staff that was in my hand; here I am, I will die."	43 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܝܘܢܬܢ ܚܘܢܝ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܘܚܘܝܗ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܪܝܫ ܚܘܛܪܐ ܕܒܐܝܕܝ ܩܠܝܠ ܛܥܡܬ ܕܒܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܘ ܡܐܬ ܐܢܐ
44 And Saul said, "God do so to me and more also; you shall surely die, Jonathan."	44 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܠܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܢܘܣܦ ܠܝ ܕܡܡܬ ܬܡܘܬ ܝܘܢܬܢ
45 Then the people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great victory in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with God this day." So the people ransomed Jonathan, that he did not die.	45 ܘܐܡܪ ܥܡܐ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܢܡܘܬ ܕܥܒܕ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܚܣ ܚܝ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܢ ܢܦܠ ܡܢ ܣܥܪܐ ܕܪܝܫܗ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܡܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܦܪܩ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܘܦܨܝܗ ܥܡܐ ܠܝܘܢܬܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܝܬ
46 Then Saul went up from pursuing the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.	46 ܘܗܦܟ ܫܐܘܠ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܦܠܫܬ̈ܝܐ ܘܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܐܬܪܗܘܢ
47 When Saul had taken the kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the Ammonites, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines; wherever he turned he put them to the worse.	47 ܘܐܚܕ ܫܐܘܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܬܟܬܫ ܒܚܕܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܘܗܝ ܒܡܘܐܒ ܘܒܒ̈ܢܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܘܒܐܕܘܡ ܘܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܨܘܒܐ ܘܒ̈ܦܠܫܬܝܐ ܘܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܡܬܦܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܙܟܐ ܗܘܐ
48 And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.	48 ܘܟܢܫ ܚܝܠܐ ܘܚܪܒ ܠܥܡܠܝܩ ܘܦܨܝ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܒܙܘ̈ܙܘܗܝ
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the first-born was Merab, and the name of the younger Michal;	49 ܘܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܫܐܘܠ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܘܝܫܘܝ ܘܡܠܟܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܫܒܫܘܠ ܘܫܡ̈ܗܐ ܕܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܒܢ̈ܬܗ ܫܡܗ̇ ܕܩܫܝܫܬܐ ܢܕܒ ܘܫܡܗ̇ ܕܙܥܘܪܬܐ ܡܠܟܠ
50 and the name of Saul's wife was Ahino-am the daughter of Ahima-az. And the name of the commander of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle;	50 ܘܫܡܗ̇ ܕܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܫܐܘܠ ܐܚܝܢܥܡ ܒܪܬ ܐܚܝܡܥܨ ܘܫܡ ܪܒ ܚܝܠܗ ܐܒܢܝܪ ܒܪ ܢܝܪ ܕܕܗ ܕܫܐܘܠ
51 Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.	51 ܘܩܝܫ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܫܐܘܠ ܘܢܝܪ ܒܪ ܐܒܝܠ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܐܒܢܝܪ
52 There was hard fighting against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he attached him to himself.	52 ܘܗܘܐ ܩܪܒܐ ܥܫܝܢܐ ܥܡ ܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܗ ܕܫܐܘܠ ܘܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܫܐܘܠ ܟܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܓܢܒܪ ܘܟܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܘܟܢܫ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܘܬܗ
