1 Samuele (1 صموئيل) 13

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 كان شاول ابن سنة في ملكه وملك سنتين على اسرائيل.	1 Saul was a child of one year when he began to reign, and he reigned two years over Israel.
2 واختار شاول لنفسه ثلاثة آلاف من اسرائيل فكان الفان مع شاول في مخماس وفي جبل بيت ايل والف كان مع يوناثان في جبعة بنيامين. واما بقية الشعب فارسلهم كل واحد الى خيمته.	2 And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel: and two thousand were with Saul in Machmas, and in mount Bethel: and a thousand with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin, and the rest of the people he sent back every man to their dwellings.
3 وضرب يوناثان نصب الفلسطينيين الذي في جبع. فسمع الفلسطينيون. وضرب شاول بالبوق في جميع الارض قائلا ليسمع العبرانيون.	3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines which was in Gabaa. And when the Philistines had heard of it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying: Let the Hebrews hear.
4 فسمع جميع اسرائيل قولا قد ضرب شاول نصب الفلسطينيين وايضا قد انتن اسرائيل لدى الفلسطينيين. فاجتمع الشعب وراء شاول الى الجلجال.	4 And all Israel heard this report: Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines: and Israel took courage against the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Galgal.
5 وتجمع الفلسطينيون لمحاربة اسرائيل. ثلاثون الف مركبة وستة آلاف فارس وشعب كالرمل الذي على شاطئ البحر في الكثرة. وصعدوا ونزلوا في مخماس شرقي بيت آون.	5 The Philistines also were assembled to fight against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a multitude of people besides, like the sand on the sea shore for number. And going up they camped in Machmas at the east of Bethaven.
6 ولما رأى رجال اسرائيل انهم في ضنك. لان الشعب تضايق. اختبأ الشعب في المغاير والغياض والصخور والصروح والآبار.	6 And when the men of Israel saw that they were straitened, (for the people were distressed,) they hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in dens, and in pits.
7 وبعض العبرانيين عبروا الاردن الى ارض جاد وجلعاد. وكان شاول بعد في الجلجال وكل الشعب ارتعد وراءه	7 And some of the Hebrews passed over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Galaad. And when Saul was yet in Galgal, all the people that followed him were greatly afraid.
8 فمكث سبعة ايام حسب ميعاد صموئيل ولم يات صموئيل الى الجلجال والشعب تفرق عنه.	8 And he waited seven days according to the appointment of Samuel, I and Samuel came not to Galgal, and the people slipt away from him.
9 فقال شاول قدموا اليّ المحرقة وذبائح السلامة. فاصعد المحرقة.	9 Then Saul said: Bring me the holocaust, and the peace offerings. And he offered the holocaust.
10 وكان لما انتهى من اصعاد المحرقة اذا صموئيل مقبل فخرج شاول للقائه ليباركه.	10 And when he had made an end of offering the holocaust, behold Samuel came: and Saul went forth to meet him and salute him.
11 فقال صموئيل ماذا فعلت فقال شاول لاني رأيت ان الشعب قد تفرق عني وانت لم تات في ايام الميعاد والفلسطينيون متجمعون في مخماس	11 And Samuel said to him: What hast thou done? Saul answered: Because I saw that the people slipt from me, and thou wast not come according to the days appointed, and the Philistines were gathered together in Machmas,
12 فقلت الآن ينزل الفلسطينيون اليّ الى الجلجال ولم اتضرع الى وجه الرب فتجلّدت واصعدت المحرقة.	12 I said: Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Galgal, and I have not appeased the face of the Lord. Forced by necessity, I offered the holocaust.
13 فقال صموئيل لشاول قد انحمقت. لم تحفظ وصية الرب الهك التي امرك بها لانه الآن كان الرب قد ثبّت مملكتك على اسرائيل الى الابد.	13 And Samuel said to Saul: Thou hast done foolishly, and hast not kept the commandments of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. And if thou hadst not done thus, the Lord would now have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever.
14 واما الآن فمملكتك لا تقوم. قد انتخب الرب لنفسه رجلا حسب قلبه وامره الرب ان يترأس على شعبه. لانك لم تحفظ ما امرك به الرب.	14 But thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man according to his own heart: and him hath the Lord commanded to be prince over his people, because thou hast not observed that which the Lord commanded.
15 وقام صموئيل وصعد من الجلجال الى جبعة بنيامين. وعدّ شاول الشعب الموجود معه نحو ست مئة رجل	15 And Samuel arose and went up from Galgal to Gabaa of Benjamin. And the rest of the people went up after Saul, to meet the people who fought against them, going from Galgal to Gabaa in the hill of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people, that were found with him, about six hundred men.
16 وكان شاول ويوناثان ابنه والشعب الموجود معهما مقيمين في جبع بنيامين والفلسطينيون نزلوا في مخماس.	16 And Saul and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, were in Gabaa of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Machmas.
17 فخرج المخربون من محلّة الفلسطينيين في ثلاث فرق. الفرقة الواحدة توجهت في طريق عفرة الى ارض شوعال	17 And there went out of the camp of the Philistines three companies to plunder. One company went towards the way of Ephra to the land of Sual;
18 والفرقة الاخرى توجهت في طريق بيت حوزون والفرقة الاخرى توجهت في طريق التخم المشرف على وادي صبوعيم نحو البرية.	18 And another went by the way of Beth-horon, and the third turned to the way of the border, above the valley of Seboim towards the desert.
19 ولم يوجد صانع في كل ارض اسرائيل. لان الفلسطينيين قالوا لئلا يعمل العبرانيون سيفا او رمحا.	19 Now there was no smith to be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had taken this precaution, lest the Hebrews should make them swords or spears.
20 بل كان ينزل كل اسرائيل الى الفلسطينيين لكي يحدد كل واحد سكّته ومنجله وفأسه ومعوله	20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his ploughshare, and his spade, and his axe, and his rake.
21 عندما كلّت حدود السكك والمناجل والمثلثات الاسنان والفؤوس ولترويس المناسيس.	21 So that their shares, and their spades, and their forks, and their axes were blunt, even to the goad, which was to be mended.
22 وكان في يوم الحرب انه لم يوجد سيف ولا رمح بيد جميع الشعب الذي مع شاول ومع يوناثان. على انه وجد مع شاول ويوناثان ابنه.	22 And when the day of battle was come, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, except Saul and Jonathan his son.
23 وخرج حفظة الفلسطينيين الى معبر مخماس	23 And the army of the Philistines went out in order to advance further in Machmas.
