1 Samuele (1 صموئيل) 25

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ومات صموئيل فاجتمع جميع اسرائيل وندبوه ودفنوه في بيته في الرامة. وقام داود ونزل الى برية فاران	1 Then Samuel died, and all of Israel gathered together, and they mourned him. And they buried him at his house in Ramah. And David, rising up, descended to the desert of Paran.
2 وكان رجل في معون واملاكه في الكرمل وكان الرجل عظيما جدا وله ثلاثة آلاف من الغنم والف من المعز وكان يجزّ غنمه في الكرمل.	2 Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were at Carmel. And this man was exceedingly great. And three thousand sheep, and one thousand goats were his. And it happened that he was shearing his sheep at Carmel.
3 واسم الرجل نابال واسم امرأته ابيجايل. وكانت المرأة جيدة الفهم وجميلة الصورة. واما الرجل فكان قاسيا وردي الاعمال. وهو كالبي.	3 Now the name of this man was Nabal. And the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a very prudent and beautiful woman. But her husband was hard-hearted, and very wicked, and malicious. And he was of the stock of Caleb.
4 فسمع داود في البرية ان نابال يجزّ غنمه.	4 Therefore, when David, in the desert, had heard that Nabal was shearing his sheep,
5 فارسل داود عشرة غلمان وقال داود للغلمان اصعدوا الى الكرمل وادخلوا الى نابال واسألوا باسمي عن سلامته	5 he sent ten young men, and he said to them: “Ascend to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name peacefully.
6 وقولوا هكذا. حييت وانت سالم وبيتك سالم وكل ما لك سالم.	6 And you shall say: ‘Peace be to my brothers and to you, and peace to your house, and peace to whatever you have.
7 والآن قد سمعت ان عندك جزّازين. حين كان رعاتك معنا لم نؤذهم ولم يفقد لهم شيء كل الايام التي كانوا فيها في الكرمل.	7 I have heard that your shepherds, who were with us in the desert, were shearing. We have never troubled them, nor was anything from the flock missing to them at any time, during the entire time that they have been with us in Carmel.
8 اسأل غلمانك فيخبروك. فليجد الغلمان نعمة في عينيك لاننا قد جئنا في يوم طيب. فاعط ما وجدته يدك لعبيدك ولابنك داود.	8 Question your servants, and they will tell you. Now therefore, may your servants find favor in your eyes. For we have arrived on a good day. Whatever your hand will find, give it to your servants and to your son David.’ ”
9 فجاء الغلمان وكلموا نابال حسب كل هذا الكلام باسم داود وكفّوا.	9 And when the servants of David had arrived, they spoke to Nabal all these words in the name of David. And then they were silent.
10 فاجاب نابال عبيد داود وقال من هو داود ومن هو ابن يسّى. قد كثر اليوم العبيد الذين يقحصون كل واحد من امام سيده.	10 But Nabal, responding to the servants of David, said: “Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Today, servants who are fleeing from their lords are increasing.
11 أآخذ خبزي ومائي وذبيحي الذي ذبحت لجازّي واعطيه لقوم لا اعلم من اين هم.	11 Therefore, shall I take my bread, and my water, and the meat of the cattle that I have slain for my shearers, and give it to men, when I do not know where they are from?”
12 فتحول غلمان داود الى طريقهم ورجعوا وجاءوا واخبروه حسب كل هذا الكلام.	12 And so the servants of David traveled back along their way. And returning, they went and reported to him all the words that he had said.
13 فقال داود لرجاله ليتقلد كل واحد منكم سيفه. فتقلد كل واحد سيفه. وتقلد داود ايضا سيفه. وصعد وراء داود نحو اربع مئة رجل ومكث مئتان مع الامتعة.	13 Then David said to his servants, “Let each one gird his sword.” And each one girded his sword. And David also girded his sword. And about four hundred men followed David. But two hundred remained behind with the supplies.
14 فاخبر ابيجايل امرأة نابال غلام من الغلمان قائلا هوذا داود ارسل رسلا من البرية ليباركوا سيدنا فثار عليهم.	14 Then it was reported to Abigail, the wife of Nabal, by one of his servants, saying: “Behold, David has sent messengers from the desert, so that they might speak kindly to our lord. But he turned them away.
15 والرجال محسنون الينا جدا فلم نؤذ ولا فقد منا شيء كل ايام ترددنا معهم ونحن في الحقل.	15 These men were good enough to us, and were not troublesome. Neither did we ever lose anything, during the entire time that we conversed with them in the desert.
16 كانوا سورا لنا ليلا ونهارا كل الايام التي كنا فيها معهم نرعى الغنم.	16 They were a wall to us, as much in the night as in the day, during all the days that we were with them, pasturing the sheep.
17 والآن اعلمي وانظري ماذا تعملين لان الشر قد اعد على سيدنا وعلى بيته وهو ابن لئيم لا يمكن الكلام معه	17 For this reason, consider and realize what you should do. For evil has been decided against your husband and against your house. And he is a son of Belial, so that no one is able to speak to him.”
18 فبادرت ابيجايل واخذت مئتي رغيف خبز وزقّي خمر وخمسة خرفان مهيّأة وخمس كيلات من الفريك ومئتي عنقود من الزبيب ومئتي قرص من التين ووضعتها على الحمير	18 And so Abigail hurried, and she took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five cooked sheep, and five measures of cooked grain, and one hundred clusters of dried grapes, and two hundred masses of dried figs, and she set them upon donkeys.
19 وقالت لغلمانها اعبروا قدامي هانذا جائية وراءكم. ولم تخبر رجلها نابال.	19 And she said to her servants: “Go before me. Behold, I will follow after your back.” But she did not reveal it to her husband, Nabal.
20 وفيما هي راكبة على الحمار ونازلة في سترة الجبل اذا بداود ورجاله منحدرون لاستقبالها فصادفتهم.	20 And when she had climbed on a donkey, and was descending to the base of the mountain, David and his men were descending to meet her. And she met them.
21 وقال داود انما باطلا حفظت كل ما لهذا في البرية فلم يفقد من كل ما له شيء فكافاني شرا بدل خير.	21 And David said: “Truly, in vain have I preserved all that was his in the wilderness, so that nothing perished out of all that belonged to him. And he has repaid evil to me for good.
22 هكذا يصنع الله لاعداء داود وهكذا يزيد ان ابقيت من كل ما له الى ضوء الصباح بائلا بحائط.	22 May God do these things, by the enemies of David, and may he add these other things, if I leave behind until morning, out of all that belongs to him, anything that urinates against a wall.”
23 ولما رأت ابيجايل داود اسرعت ونزلت عن الحمار وسقطت امام داود على وجهها وسجدت الى الارض	23 Then, when Abigail had seen David, she hurried and descended from the donkey. And she fell upon her face before David, and she reverenced on the ground.
24 وسقطت على رجليه وقالت عليّ انا يا سيدي هذا الذنب ودع امتك تتكلم في اذنيك واسمع كلام امتك.	24 And she fell at his feet, and she said: “May this iniquity be upon me, my lord. I beg you, let your handmaid speak to your ears, and listen to the words of your servant.
25 لا يضعنّ سيدي قلبه على الرجل اللئيم هذا على نابال لان كاسمه هكذا هو. نابال اسمه والحماقة عنده. وانا امتك لم أر غلمان سيدي الذين ارسلتهم.	25 Let not my lord, the king, I beseech you, set his heart upon this iniquitous man, Nabal. For in accord with his name, he is senseless, and foolishness is with him. But I, your handmaid, did not see your servants, my lord, whom you had sent.
26 والآن يا سيدي حيّ هو الرب وحية هي نفسك ان الرب قد منعك عن أتيان الدماء وانتقام يدك لنفسك. والآن فليكن كنابال اعداؤك والذين يطلبون الشر لسيدي.	26 Now therefore, my lord, as your soul lives, and as the Lord lives, who has kept your hand to yourself, and has prevented you from coming to blood: now, let your enemies be like Nabal, and like all those who are seeking evil for my lord.
27 والآن هذه البركة التي أتت بها جاريتك الى سيدي فلتعط للغلمان السائرين وراء سيدي.	27 Because of this, accept this blessing, which your handmaid has brought to you, my lord. And give it to the young men who follow you, my lord.
28 واصفح عن ذنب امتك لان الرب يصنع لسيدي بيتا امينا لان سيدي يحارب حروب الرب ولم يوجد فيك شر كل ايامك.	28 Forgive the iniquity of your handmaid. For the Lord will surely make for you, my lord, a faithful house, because you, my lord, fight the battles of the Lord. Therefore, let no evil be found in you all the days of your life.
29 وقد قام رجل ليطاردك ويطلب نفسك ولكن نفس سيدي لتكن محزومة في حزمة الحياة مع الرب الهك واما انفس اعدائك فليرم بها كما من وسط كفّة المقلاع.	29 For if a man, at any time, will rise up, pursuing you and seeking your life, the life of my lord will be preserved, as if in the sheave of the living, with the Lord your God. But the lives of your enemies will be spun around, as if with the force of a whirling sling.
30 ويكون عندما يصنع الرب لسيدي حسب كل ما تكلم به من الخير من اجلك ويقيمك رئيسا على اسرائيل	30 Therefore, when the Lord will have done for you, my lord, all the good that he has spoken about you, and when he will have appointed you as leader over Israel,
31 انه لا تكون لك هذه مصدمة ومعثرة قلب لسيدي انك قد سفكت دما عفوا او ان سيدي قد انتقم لنفسه. واذا احسن الرب الى سيدي فاذكر امتك	31 this will not be for you a regret or a scruple of the heart, my lord, that you had shed innocent blood, or had taken revenge for yourself. And when the Lord will have done well for my lord, you shall remember your handmaid.”
32 فقال داود لابيجايل. مبارك الرب اله اسرائيل الذي ارسلك هذا اليوم لاستقبالي	32 And David said to Abigail: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me. And blessed is your eloquence.
33 ومبارك عقلك ومباركة انت لانك منعتني اليوم من أتيان الدماء وانتقام يدي لنفسي.	33 And blessed are you, who prevented me today from going to blood, and from taking revenge for myself with my own hand.
34 ولكن حيّ هو الرب اله اسرائيل الذي منعني عن اذيتك انك لو لم تبادري وتأتي لاستقبالي لما ابقي لنابال الى ضوء الصباح بائل بحائط.	34 But instead, as the Lord God of Israel lives, he has prevented me from doing evil to you. But if you had not come quickly to meet me, there would not have been left to Nabal by the morning light, anything that urinates against a wall.”
35 فاخذ داود من يدها ما اتت به اليه وقال لها اصعدي بسلام الى بيتك. انظري. قد سمعت لصوتك ورفعت وجهك	35 Then David received from her hand all that she had brought to him. And he said to her: “Go in peace to your own house. Behold, I have heeded your voice, and I have honored your face.”
36 فجاءت ابيجايل الى نابال واذا وليمة عنده في بيته كوليمة ملك. وكان نابال قد طاب قلبه وكان سكران جدا. فلم تخبره بشيء صغير او كبير الى ضوء الصباح.	36 Then Abigail went to Nabal. And behold, he was holding a feast for himself in his house, like the feast of a king. And the heart of Nabal was cheerful. For he was greatly inebriated. And she did not reveal a word to him, small or great, until morning.
37 وفي الصباح عند خروج الخمر من نابال اخبرته امرأته بهذا الكلام فمات قلبه داخله وصار كحجر.	37 Then, at first light, when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife revealed to him these words, and his heart died within himself, and he became like a stone.
38 وبعد نحو عشرة ايام ضرب الرب نابال فمات.	38 And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
39 فلما سمع داود ان نابال قد مات قال. مبارك الرب الذي انتقم نقمة تعييري من يد نابال وامسك عبده عن الشر ورد الرب شر نابال على راسه. وارسل داود وتكلم مع ابيجايل ليتخذها له امرأة.	39 And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: “Blessed is the Lord, who has judged the case of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and who has preserved his servant from evil. And the Lord has repaid the malice of Nabal upon his own head.” Then David sent and he spoke with Abigail, so that he might take her to himself as wife.
40 فجاء عبيد داود الى ابيجايل الى الكرمل وكلموها قائلين ان داود قد ارسلنا اليك لكي نتخذك له امرأة.	40 And David’s servants went to Abigail at Carmel, and they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, so that he might take you to himself as wife.”
41 فقامت وسجدت على وجهها الى الارض وقالت هوذا امتك جارية لغسل ارجل عبيد سيدي.	41 And rising up, she reverenced prone on the ground, and she said, “Behold, let your servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
42 ثم بادرت وقامت ابيجايل وركبت الحمار مع خمس فتيات لها ذاهبات وراءها وسارت وراء رسل داود وصارت له امرأة.	42 And Abigail rose up and hurried, and she climbed upon a donkey, and five girls went with her, her attendants. And she followed the messengers of David, and she became his wife.
43 ثم اخذ داود اخينوعم من يزرعيل فكانتا له كلتاهما امرأتين.	43 Moreover, David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel. And both of them were his wives.
44 فاعطى شاول ميكال ابنته امرأة داود لفلطي بن لايش الذي من جلّيم	44 Then Saul gave his daughter Michal, the wife of David, to Palti, the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
