1 Samuele (1 صموئيل) 4

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 وكان كلام صموئيل الى جميع اسرائيل وخرج اسرائيل للقاء الفلسطينيين للحرب ونزلوا عند حجر المعونة واما الفلسطينيون فنزلوا في افيق.	1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec,
2 واصطف الفلسطينيون للقاء اسرائيل واشتبكت الحرب فانكسر اسرائيل امام الفلسطينيين وضربوا من الصف في الحقل نحو اربعة آلاف رجل.	2 And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines, and there was slain in that fight here and there in the fields about four thousand men.
3 فجاء الشعب الى المحلّة. وقال شيوخ اسرائيل لماذا كسرنا اليوم الرب امام الفلسطينيين. لنأخذ لانفسنا من شيلوه تابوت عهد الرب فيدخل في وسطنا ويخلصنا من يد اعدائنا.	3 And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.
4 فارسل الشعب الى شيلوه وحملوا من هناك تابوت عهد رب الجنود الجالس على الكروبيم. وكان هناك ابنا عالي حفني وفينحاس مع تابوت عهد الله.	4 So the people sent to Silo, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts sitting upon the cherubims: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 وكان عند دخول تابوت عهد الرب الى المحلّة ان جميع اسرائيل هتفوا هتافا عظيما حتى ارتجّت الارض.	5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, and the earth rang again.
6 فسمع الفلسطينيون صوت الهتاف فقالوا ما هو صوت هذا الهتاف العظيم في محلّة العبرانيين. وعلموا ان تابوت الرب جاء الى المحلّة.	6 And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
7 فخاف الفلسطينيون لانهم قالوا قد جاء الله الى المحلّة. وقالوا ويل لنا لانه لم يكن مثل هذا منذ امس ولا ما قبله.	7 And the Philistines were afraid, saying: God is come into the camp. And sighing, they said:
8 ويل لنا. من ينقذنا من يد هؤلاء الآلهة القادرين. هؤلاء هم الآلهة الذين ضربوا مصر بجميع الضربات في البرية.	8 Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high gods? these are the gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert.
9 تشددوا وكونوا رجالا ايها الفلسطينيون لئلا تستعبدوا للعبرانيين كما استعبدوا هم لكم. فكونوا رجالا وحاربوا.	9 Take courage and behave like men, ye Philistines: lest you come to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have served you: take courage and fight.
10 فحارب الفلسطينيون وانكسر اسرائيل وهربوا كل واحد الى خيمته. وكانت الضربة عظيمة جدا. وسقط من اسرائيل ثلاثون الف راجل.	10 So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11 وأخذ تابوت الله ومات ابنا عالي حفني وفينحاس	11 And the ark of God was taken: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain.
12 فركض رجل من بنيامين من الصف وجاء الى شيلوه في ذلك اليوم وثيابه ممزقة وتراب على راسه.	12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust.
13 ولما جاء فاذا عالي جالس على كرسي بجانب الطريق يراقب لان قلبه كان مضطربا لاجل تابوت الله. ولما جاء الرجل ليخبر في المدينة صرخت المدينة كلها.	13 And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out.
14 فسمع عالي صوت الصراخ فقال ما هو صوت الضجيج هذا. فاسرع الرجل واخبر عالي.	14 And Heli heard the noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told Heli.
15 وكان عالي ابن ثمان وتسعين سنة وقامت عيناه ولم يقدر ان يبصر.	15 Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see.
16 فقال الرجل لعالي انا جئت من الصف وانا هربت اليوم من الصف. فقال كيف كان الأمر يا ابني.	16 And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son?
17 فاجاب المخبر وقال هرب اسرائيل امام الفلسطينيين وكانت ايضا كسرة عظيمة في الشعب ومات ايضا ابناك حفني وفينحاس وأخذ تابوت الله.	17 And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken.
18 وكان لما ذكر تابوت الله انه سقط عن الكرسي الى الوراء الى جانب الباب فانكسرت رقبته ومات. لانه كان رجلا شيخا وثقيلا. وقد قضى لاسرائيل اربعين سنة	18 And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck, and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: and he judged Israel forty years.
19 وكنّته امرأة فينحاس كانت حبلى تكاد تلد. فلما سمعت خبر اخذ تابوت الله وموت حميها ورجلها ركعت وولدت لان مخاضها انقلب عليها.	19 And his daughter in law the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden.
20 وعند احتضارها قالت لها الواقفات عندها لا تخافي لانك قد ولدت ابنا. فلم تجب ولم يبال قلبها.	20 And when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them.
21 فدعت الصبي ايخابود قائلة قد زال المجد من اسرائيل لان تابوت الله قد أخذ ولاجل حميها ورجلها.	21 And she called the child Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and her husband:
22 فقالت زال المجد من اسرائيل لان تابوت الله قد أخذ	22 And she said: The glory is departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken.
