1 Samuele (1 صموئيل) 16

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 فقال الرب لصموئيل حتى متى تنوح على شاول وانا قد رفضته عن ان يملك على اسرائيل. املأ قرنك دهنا وتعال ارسلك الى يسّى البيتلحمي لاني قد رأيت لي في بنيه ملكا.	1 And the Lord said to Samuel. How It long wilt thou mourn for Saul, whom I have rejected from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and come, that I may send thee to Isai the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
2 فقال صموئيل كيف اذهب. ان سمع شاول يقتلني. فقال الرب خذ بيدك عجلة من البقر وقل قد جئت لاذبح للرب.	2 And Samuel said: How shall I go? for Saul will hear of it, and he will kill me. And the Lord said: Thou shalt take with thee a calf of the herd, and thou shalt say: I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.
3 وادع يسّى الى الذبيحة وانا اعلمك ماذا تصنع وامسح لي الذي اقول لك عنه.	3 And thou shalt call Isai to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou art to do, and thou shalt anoint him whom I shall shew to thee.
4 ففعل صموئيل كما تكلم الرب وجاء الى بيت لحم. فارتعد شيوخ المدينة عند استقباله وقالوا أسلام مجيئك.	4 Then Samuel did as the Lord had said to him. And he came to Bethlehem, and the ancients of the city wondered, and meeting him, they said: Is thy coming hither peaceable?
5 فقال سلام. قد جئت لاذبح للرب. تقدسوا وتعالوا معي الى الذبيحة. وقدس يسّى وبنيه ودعاهم الى الذبيحة.	5 And he said: It is peaceable: I am come to offer sacrifice to the Lord, be ye sanctified, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Isai and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
6 وكان لما جاءوا انه رأى اليآب فقال ان امام الرب مسيحه.	6 And when they were come in, he saw Eliab, and said: Is the Lord's anointed before him?
7 فقال الرب لصموئيل لا تنظر الى منظره وطول قامته لاني قد رفضته. لانه ليس كما ينظر الانسان. لان الانسان ينظر الى العينين واما الرب فانه ينظر الى القلب.	7 And the Lord said to Samuel: Look not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature: because I have rejected him, nor do I judge according to the look of man: for man seeth those things that appear, but the Lord beholdeth the heart.
8 فدعا يسّى ابيناداب وعبّره امام صموئيل. فقال وهذا ايضا لم يختره الرب.	8 And Isai called Abinadab, and brought him before Samuel. And he said: Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
9 وعبّر يسّى شمّة. فقال وهذا ايضا لم يختره الرب.	9 And Isai brought Samma, and he said of him: Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
10 وعبّر يسّى بنيه السبعة امام صموئيل فقال صموئيل ليسّى الرب لم يختر هؤلاء.	10 Isai therefore brought his seven sons before Samuel: and Samuel said to Isai: The Lord hath not chosen any one of these.
11 وقال صموئيل ليسّى هل كملوا الغلمان. فقال بقي بعد الصغير وهوذا يرعى الغنم. فقال صموئيل ليسّى ارسل وائت به. لاننا لا نجلس حتى يأتي الى ههنا.	11 And Samuel said to Isai: Are here all thy sons? He answered: There remaineth yet a young one, who keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said to Isai: Send, and fetch him, for we will not sit down till he come hither.
12 فارسل واتى به. وكان اشقر مع حلاوة العينين وحسن المنظر. فقال الرب قم امسحه لان هذا هو.	12 He sent therefore and brought him Now he was ruddy and beautiful to behold, and of a comely face. And the Lord said: Arise, and anoint him, for this is he.
13 فاخذ صموئيل قرن الدهن ومسحه في وسط اخوته. وحلّ روح الرب على داود من ذلك اليوم فصاعدا. ثم قام صموئيل وذهب الى الرامة	13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward: and Samuel rose up, and went to Ramatha.
14 وذهب روح الرب من عند شاول وبغته روح رديء من قبل الرب.	14 But the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
15 فقال عبيد شاول له هوذا روح رديء من قبل الله يبغتك.	15 And the servants of Saul said to him: Behold now an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
16 فليأمر سيدنا عبيده قدامه ان يفتشوا على رجل يحسن الضرب بالعود ويكون اذا كان عليك الروح الرديء من قبل الله انه يضرب بيده فتطيب.	16 Let our lord give orders, and thy servants who are before thee will seek out a man skilful in playing on the harp, that when the evil spirit from the Lord is upon thee, he may play with his hand, and thou mayest bear it more easily.
17 فقال شاول لعبيده انظروا لي رجلا يحسن الضرب وأتوا به اليّ.	17 And Saul said to his servants: Provide me then some man that can play well, and bring him to me.
18 فاجاب واحد من الغلمان وقال هوذا قد رأيت ابنا ليسّى البيتلحمي يحسن الضرب وهو جبار بأس ورجل حرب وفصيح ورجل جميل والرب معه.	18 And one of the servants answering, said: Behold I have seen a son of Isai the Bethlehemite, a skilful player, and one of great strength, and a man fit for war, and prudent in his words, and a comely person: and the Lord is with him.
19 فارسل شاول رسلا الى يسّى يقول ارسل اليّ داود ابنك الذي مع الغنم.	19 Then Saul sent messengers to Isai, saying: Send me David thy son, who is in the pastures.
20 فاخذ يسّى حمارا حاملا خبزا وزق خمر وجدي معزى وارسلها بيد داود ابنه الى شاول.	20 And Isai took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid of the flock, and sent them by the hand of David his son to Saul.
21 فجاء داود الى شاول ووقف امامه فاحبه جدا وكان له حامل سلاح.	21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him exceedingly, and made him his armourbearer.
22 فارسل شاول الى يسّى يقول ليقف داود امامي لانه وجد نعمة في عينيّ.	22 And Saul sent to Isai, saying: Let David stand before me: for he hath found favour in my sight.
23 وكان عندما جاء الروح من قبل الله على شاول ان داود اخذ العود وضرب بيده فكان يرتاح شاول ويطيب ويذهب عنه الروح الردي	23 So whensoever the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul, David took his harp, and played with his hand, and Saul was refreshed, and was better, for the evil spirit departed from him.
