1 Samuele (1 صموئيل) 31

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 وحارب الفلسطينيون اسرائيل فهرب رجال اسرائيل من امام الفلسطينيين وسقطوا قتلى في جبل جلبوع.	1 And the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelboe.
2 فشدّ الفلسطينيون وراء شاول وبنيه وضرب الفلسطينيون يوناثان وابيناداب وملكيشوع ابناء شاول.	2 And the Philistines fell upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they slew Jonathan, and Abinadab and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
3 واشتدت الحرب على شاول فاصابه الرماة رجال القسي فانجرح جدا من الرماة.	3 And the whole weight of the battle was turned upon Saul: and the archers overtook him, and he was grievously wounded by the archers.
4 فقال شاول لحامل سلاحه استل سيفك واطعنّي به لئلا ياتي هؤلاء الغلف ويطعنوني ويقبحوني. فلم يشأ حامل سلاحه لانه خاف جدا. فاخذ شاول السيف وسقط عليه.	4 Then Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and slay me, and mock at me. And his armourbearer would not: for he was struck with exceeding great fear. Then Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
5 ولما رأى حامل سلاحه انه قد مات شاول سقط هو ايضا على سيفه ومات معه.	5 And when his armourbearer saw this, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him.
6 فمات شاول وبنوه الثلاثة وحامل سلاحه وجميع رجاله في ذلك اليوم معا.	6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men that same day together.
7 ولما رأى رجال اسرائيل الذين في عبر الوادي والذين في عبر الاردن ان رجال اسرائيل قد هربوا وان شاول وبنيه قد ماتوا تركوا المدن وهربوا فاتى الفلسطينيون وسكنوا بها	7 And the men of Israel, that were beyond the valley, and beyond the Jordan, seeing that the Israelites were fled, and that Saul was dead, and his sons, forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came, and dwelt there.
8 وفي الغد لما جاء الفلسطينيون ليعرّوا القتلى وجدوا شاول وبنيه الثلاثة ساقطين في جبل جلبوع.	8 And on the morrow the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons lying in mount Gelboe.
9 فقطعوا راسه ونزعوا سلاحه وارسلوا الى ارض الفلسطينيين في كل جهة لاجل التبشير في بيت اصنامهم وفي الشعب.	9 And they cut off Saul's head, and stripped him of his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the temples of their idols, and among their people.
10 ووضعوا سلاحه في بيت عشتاروث وسمروا جسده على سور بيت شان.	10 And they put his armour in the temple of Astaroth, but his body they hung on the wall of Bethsan.
11 ولما سمع سكان يابيش جلعاد بما فعل الفلسطينيون بشاول	11 Now when the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 قام كل ذي بأس وساروا الليل كله واخذوا جسد شاول واجساد بنيه عن سور بيت شان وجاءوا بها الى يابيش واحرقوها هناك	12 All the most valiant men arose, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Bethsan: and they came to Jabes Galaad, and burnt them there:
13 واخذوا عظامهم ودفنوها تحت الاثلة في يابيش وصاموا سبعة ايام	13 And they took their bones and buried them in the wood of Jabes: and fasted seven days.
