¹David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.

¹فذهب داود من هناك ونجا الى مغارة عدلام. فلما سمع اخوته وجميع بيت ابيه نزلوا اليه الى هناك.

²And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.

²واجتمع اليه كل رجل متضايق وكل من كان عليه دين وكل رجل مرّ النفس فكان عليهم رئيسا وكان معه نحو اربع مئة رجل.

³And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.

³وذهب داود من هناك الى مصفاة موآب وقال لملك موآب ليخرج ابي وامي اليكم حتى اعلم ماذا يصنع لي الله.

⁴And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.

⁴فودعهما عند ملك موآب فاقاما عنده كل ايام اقامة داود في الحصن.

⁵And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.

⁵فقال جاد النبي لداود لا تقم في الحصن. اذهب وادخل ارض يهوذا. فذهب داود وجاء الى وعر حارث

⁶When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him;)

⁶وسمع شاول انه قد اشتهر داود والرجال الذين معه. وكان شاول مقيما في جبعة تحت الأثلة في الرامة ورمحه بيده وجميع عبيده وقوفا لديه.

⁷Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;

⁷فقال شاول لعبيده الواقفين لديه اسمعوا يا بنيامينيون. هل يعطيكم جميعكم ابن يسّى حقولا وكروما وهل يجعلكم جميعكم رؤساء الوف ورؤساء مئات

⁸That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that showeth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or showeth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?

⁸حتى فتنتم كلكم عليّ وليس من يخبرني بعهد ابني مع ابن يسّى وليس منكم من يحزن عليّ او يخبرني بان ابني قد اقام عبدي عليّ كمينا كهذا اليوم.

⁹Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

⁹فاجاب دواغ الادومي الذي كان موكّلا على عبيد شاول وقال قد رأيت ابن يسّى آتيا الى نوب الى اخيمالك بن اخيطوب.

¹⁰And he inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.

¹⁰فسأل له من الرب واعطاه زادا وسيف جليات الفلسطيني اعطاه اياه.

¹¹Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.

¹¹فارسل الملك واستدعى اخيمالك بن اخيطوب الكاهن وجميع بيت ابيه الكهنة الذين في نوب فجاءوا كلهم الى الملك.

¹²And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.

¹²فقال شاول اسمع يا ابن اخيطوب. فقال هانذا يا سيدي.

¹³And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?

¹³فقال له شاول لماذا فتنتم عليّ انت وابن يسّى باعطائك اياه خبزا وسيفا وسألت له من الله ليقوم عليّ كامنا كهذا اليوم.

¹⁴Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honorable in thine house?

¹⁴فاجاب اخيمالك الملك وقال ومن من جميع عبيدك مثل داود امين وصهر الملك وصاحب سرّك ومكرم في بيتك.

¹⁵Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.

¹⁵فهل اليوم ابتدأت اسأل له من الله. حاشا لي. لا ينسب الملك شيئا لعبده ولا لجميع بيت ابي لان عبدك لم يعلم شيئا من كل هذا صغيرا او كبيرا.

¹⁶And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.

¹⁶فقال الملك موتا تموت يا اخيمالك انت وكل بيت ابيك.

¹⁷And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD: because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not show it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.

¹⁷وقال الملك للسعاة الواقفين لديه دوروا واقتلوا كهنة الرب لان يدهم ايضا مع داود ولانهم علموا انه هارب ولم يخبروني. فلم يرض عبيد الملك ان يمدوا ايديهم ليقعوا بكهنة الرب.

¹⁸And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.

¹⁸فقال الملك لدواغ در انت وقع بالكهنة. فدار دواغ الادومي ووقع هو بالكهنة وقتل في ذلك اليوم خمسة وثمانين رجلا لابسي افود كتان.

¹⁹And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

¹⁹وضرب نوب مدينة الكهنة بحد السيف. الرجال والنساء والاطفال والرضعان والثيران والحمير والغنم بحد السيف.

²⁰And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.

²⁰فنجا ولد واحد لاخيمالك بن اخيطوب اسمه ابياثار وهرب الى داود.

²¹And Abiathar showed David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests.

²¹واخبر ابياثار داود بان شاول قد قتل كهنة الرب.

²²And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.

²²فقال داود لابياثار علمت في ذلك اليوم الذي فيه كان دواغ الادومي هناك انه يخبر شاول. انا سبّبت لجميع انفس بيت ابيك.

²³Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.

²³أقم معي. لا تخف. لان الذي يطلب نفسي يطلب نفسك ولكنك عندي محفوظ
