SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 وكلم شاول يوناثان ابنه وجميع عبيده ان يقتلوا داود.	1 Now Saul spoke to his son Jonathan, and to all his servants, so that they would kill David. But Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved David very much.
2 واما يوناثان بن شاول فسرّ بداود جدا. فاخبر يوناثان داود قائلا شاول ابي ملتمس قتلك والآن فاحتفظ على نفسك الى الصباح واقم في خفية واختبئ.	2 And Jonathan revealed it to David, saying: “Saul, my father, is seeking to kill you. Because of this, I ask you, take care for yourself in the morning. And you should conceal yourself and remain in hiding.
3 وانا اخرج واقف بجانب ابي في الحقل الذي انت فيه واكلم ابي عنك وارى ماذا يصير واخبرك.	3 Then I, going out, will be standing beside my father in the field, where you will be. And I will speak about you to my father. And whatever I see, I will report to you.”
4 وتكلم يوناثان عن داود حسنا مع شاول ابيه وقال له لا يخطئ الملك الى عبده داود لانه لم يخطئ اليك ولان اعماله حسنة لك جدا.	4 Then Jonathan spoke good things about David to his father Saul. And he said to him: “You should not sin, O king, against your servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his works toward you are very good.
5 فانه وضع نفسه بيده وقتل الفلسطيني فصنع الرب خلاصا عظيما لجميع اسرائيل. انت رأيت وفرحت. فلماذا تخطئ الى دم بريء بقتل داود بلا سبب.	5 And he took his life in his own hand, and struck down the Philistine. And the Lord wrought a great salvation for all of Israel. You saw it, and you rejoiced. Why then would you sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without guilt?”
6 فسمع شاول لصوت يوناثان وحلف شاول حيّ هو الرب لا يقتل.	6 And when Saul had heard this, being pleased by the voice of Jonathan, he swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed.”
7 فدعا يوناثان داود واخبره يوناثان بجميع هذا الكلام ثم جاء يوناثان بداود الى شاول فكان امامه كامس وما قبله	7 And so Jonathan called David, and he revealed to him all of these words. And Jonathan led in David to Saul, and he was before him, just as he had been yesterday and the day before.
8 وعادت الحرب تحدث فخرج داود وحارب الفلسطينيين وضربهم ضربة عظيمة فهربوا من امامه.	8 Then the war was stirred up again. And David went out and fought against the Philistines. And he struck them down with a great slaughter. And they fled from his face.
9 وكان الروح الردي من قبل الرب على شاول وهو جالس في بيته ورمحه بيده وكان داود يضرب باليد.	9 And the evil spirit from the Lord came to Saul, who was sitting in his house and holding a lance. And David was playing music with his hand.
10 فالتمس شاول ان يطعن داود بالرمح حتى الى الحائط ففرّ من امام شاول فضرب الرمح الى الحائط. فهرب داود ونجا تلك الليلة.	10 And Saul attempted to fix David to the wall with the lance. But David turned aside from the face of Saul. And the lance failed to wound him, and it became fixed in the wall. And David fled, and so he was saved that night.
11 فارسل شاول رسلا الى بيت داود ليراقبوه ويقتلوه في الصباح. فاخبرت داود ميكال امرأته قائلة ان كنت لا تنجو بنفسك هذه الليلة فانك تقتل غدا.	11 Therefore, Saul sent his guards to David’s house, so that they might watch for him, and so that he might be killed in the morning. And after Michal, his wife, had reported this to David, saying, “Unless you save yourself this night, tomorrow you will die,”
12 فانزلت ميكال داود من الكوّة فذهب هاربا ونجا.	12 she lowered him down through a window. Then he fled and went away, and he was saved.
13 فاخذت ميكال الترافيم ووضعته في الفراش ووضعت لبدة المعزى تحت راسه وغطّته بثوب.	13 Then Michal took a statue, and placed it on the bed. And she placed the pelt of a goat for the hair at its head. And she covered it with clothes.
14 وارسل شاول رسلا لاخذ داود فقالت هو مريض.	14 And Saul sent attendants to seize David. And it was answered that he was sick.
15 ثم ارسل شاول الرسل ليروا داود قائلا اصعدوا به اليّ على الفراش لكي اقتله.	15 And again, Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him to me on the bed, so that he may be killed.”
16 فجاء الرسل واذا في الفراش الترافيم ولبدة المعزى تحت راسه.	16 And when the messengers had arrived, they found a likeness on the bed, with a goat pelt at its head.
17 فقال شاول لميكال لماذا خدعتني فاطلقت عدوي حتى نجا. فقالت ميكال لشاول هو قال لي اطلقيني لماذا اقتلك	17 And Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me in this way, and released my enemy, so that he may flee?” And Michal responded to Saul, “Because he said to me, ‘Release me, otherwise I will kill you.’ ”
18 فهرب داود ونجا وجاء الى صموئيل في الرامة واخبره بكل ما عمل به شاول. وذهب هو وصموئيل واقاما في نايوت.	18 Now David was saved by fleeing, and he went to Samuel in Ramah. And he reported to him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went away and stayed at Naioth.
19 فأخبر شاول وقيل له هوذا داود في نايوت في الرامة.	19 Then it was reported to Saul by some, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth, in Ramah.”
20 فارسل شاول رسلا لاخذ داود ولما رأوا جماعة الانبياء يتنباون وصموئيل واقفا رئيسا عليهم كان روح الله على رسل شاول فتنبأوا هم ايضا.	20 Therefore, Saul sent officers to seize David. And when they had seen a company of prophets prophesying, with Samuel presiding over them, the Spirit of the Lord also came to them, and they also began to prophesy.
21 واخبروا شاول فارسل رسلا آخرين فتنبأوا هم ايضا. ثم عاد شاول فارسل رسلا ثالثة فتنبأوا هم ايضا.	21 And when this was reported to Saul, he sent other messengers. But they also prophesied. And again, Saul sent messengers a third time. And they also prophesied. And Saul, being exceedingly angry,
22 فذهب هو ايضا الى الرامة وجاء الى البئر العظيمة التي عند سيخو وسأل وقال اين صموئيل وداود. فقيل ها هما في نايوت في الرامة.	22 also went to Ramah himself. And he went as far as the great cistern, which is in Socoh. And he inquired and said, “In which place are Samuel and David?” And it was told to him, “Behold, they are at Naioth, in Ramah.”
23 فذهب الى هناك الى نايوت في الرامة فكان عليه ايضا روح الله فكان يذهب ويتنبأ حتى جاء الى نايوت في الرامة.	23 And he went to Naioth, in Ramah, and the Spirit of the Lord came to him also. And he continued on, walking and prophesying, until he arrived at Naioth, in Ramah.
24 فخلع هو ايضا ثيابه وتنبأ هو ايضا امام صموئيل وانطرح عريانا ذلك النهار كله وكل الليل. لذلك يقولون أشاول ايضا بين الانبياء	24 And he also took off his garments, and he prophesied with the others before Samuel. And he fell down naked, throughout that day and night. From this, too, is derived the proverb, “Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
