1 Samuele (1 صموئيل) 25

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ومات صموئيل فاجتمع جميع اسرائيل وندبوه ودفنوه في بيته في الرامة. وقام داود ونزل الى برية فاران	1 And Samuel died, and all Israel was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And David rose and went down into the wilderness of Pharan.
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 in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in 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 the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman, but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb.
4 فسمع داود في البرية ان نابال يجزّ غنمه.	4 And when David heard in the wilderness 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 said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace.
6 وقولوا هكذا. حييت وانت سالم وبيتك سالم وكل ما لك سالم.	6 And you shall say: Peace be to my brethren, and to thee, and peace to thy house, and peace to all that thou hast.
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 heard that thy shepherds that were with us in the desert were shearing: we never molested them, neither was there ought missing to them of the flock at any time, all the while they were 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 Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Now therefore let thy servants find favour in thy eyes: for we are come in a good day, whatsoever thy hand shall find give to thy servants, and to thy son David.
9 فجاء الغلمان وكلموا نابال حسب كل هذا الكلام باسم داود وكفّوا.	9 And when David's servants came, they spoke to Nabal all these words in David's name: and then held their peace.
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 answering the servants of David, said: Who is David? and what is the son of Isai? servants are multiplied now a days who flee from their masters.
11 أآخذ خبزي ومائي وذبيحي الذي ذبحت لجازّي واعطيه لقوم لا اعلم من اين هم.	11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and the flesh of my cattle, which I have killed for my shearers, and give to men whom I know not whence they are?
12 فتحول غلمان داود الى طريقهم ورجعوا وجاءوا واخبروه حسب كل هذا الكلام.	12 So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he 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 young men: Let every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword. And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men: and two hundred remained with the baggage.
14 فاخبر ابيجايل امرأة نابال غلام من الغلمان قائلا هوذا داود ارسل رسلا من البرية ليباركوا سيدنا فثار عليهم.	14 But one of the servants told Abigail the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected them.
15 والرجال محسنون الينا جدا فلم نؤذ ولا فقد منا شيء كل ايام ترددنا معهم ونحن في الحقل.	15 These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: neither did we ever lose any thing all the 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 unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
17 والآن اعلمي وانظري ماذا تعملين لان الشر قد اعد على سيدنا وعلى بيته وهو ابن لئيم لا يمكن الكلام معه	17 Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can 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 Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of dry figs, and laid them upon asses:
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 you: but she told not her husband Nabal.
20 وفيما هي راكبة على الحمار ونازلة في سترة الجبل اذا بداود ورجاله منحدرون لاستقبالها فصادفتهم.	20 And when she had gotten upon an ass, and was coming down to the foot of the mountain, David and his men came down over against 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 kept all that belonged to this man in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil 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 so and so, and add more to the foes of David, if I leave of all that belong to him till the morning, any that pisseth against the wall.
23 ولما رأت ابيجايل داود اسرعت ونزلت عن الحمار وسقطت امام داود على وجهها وسجدت الى الارض	23 And when Abigail saw David she made haste and lighted off the ass, and fell before David, on her face, and adored upon 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 said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears: and hear the words of thy 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 pray, regard this naughty man Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest.
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, the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now let thy enemies be as Nabal, and all they that seek evil to my lord.
27 والآن هذه البركة التي أتت بها جاريتك الى سيدي فلتعط للغلمان السائرين وراء سيدي.	27 Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, 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 thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy 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 shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling.
30 ويكون عندما يصنع الرب لسيدي حسب كل ما تكلم به من الخير من اجلك ويقيمك رئيسا على اسرائيل	30 And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince 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 shall not be an occasion of grief to thee, and a scruple of heart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or hast revenged thyself: and when the Lord shall have done well by my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaid.
32 فقال داود لابيجايل. مبارك الرب اله اسرائيل الذي ارسلك هذا اليوم لاستقبالي	32 And David said to Abigail: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy speech:
33 ومبارك عقلك ومباركة انت لانك منعتني اليوم من أتيان الدماء وانتقام يدي لنفسي.	33 And blessed be thou, who hast kept me to day, from coming to blood, and revenging me 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 Otherwise as the Lord liveth the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil: if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
35 فاخذ داود من يدها ما اتت به اليه وقال لها اصعدي بسلام الى بيتك. انظري. قد سمعت لصوتك ورفعت وجهك	35 And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and have honoured thy 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 And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king, and Nabal's heart was merry: for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning.
37 وفي الصباح عند خروج الخمر من نابال اخبرته امرأته بهذا الكلام فمات قلبه داخله وصار كحجر.	37 But early in the morning when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as 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 be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. The n David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a 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 came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying: David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife.
41 فقامت وسجدت على وجهها الى الارض وقالت هوذا امتك جارية لغسل ارجل عبيد سيدي.	41 And she arose and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, and said: Behold, let thy 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 arose, and made haste, and got upon an ass, and five damsels went with her, her waiting maids, and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.
43 ثم اخذ داود اخينوعم من يزرعيل فكانتا له كلتاهما امرأتين.	43 Moreover David took also Achinoam of Jezrahel: and they were both of them his wives.
44 فاعطى شاول ميكال ابنته امرأة داود لفلطي بن لايش الذي من جلّيم	44 But Saul gave Michol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallium.
