¹And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;

¹ولما جاء داود ورجاله الى صقلغ في اليوم الثالث كان العمالقة قد غزوا الجنوب وصقلغ وضربوا صقلغ واحرقوها بالنار

²And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.

²وسبوا النساء اللواتي فيها. لم يقتلوا احدا لا صغيرا ولا كبيرا بل ساقوهم ومضوا في طريقهم.

³So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.

³فدخل داود ورجاله المدينة واذا هي محرقة بالنار ونساؤهم وبنوهم وبناتهم قد سبوا.

⁴Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

⁴فرفع داود والشعب الذين معه اصواتهم وبكوا حتى لم تبق لهم قوة للبكاء.

⁵And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

⁵وسبيت امرأتا داود اخينوعم اليزرعيلية وابيجايل امرأة نابال الكرملي.

⁶And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

⁶فتضايق داود جدا لان الشعب قالوا برجمه لان انفس جميع الشعب كانت مرّة كل واحد على بنيه وبناته. واما داود فتشدد بالرب الهه

⁷And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.

⁷ثم قال داود لابياثار الكاهن ابن اخيمالك قدم اليّ الافود. فقدّم ابياثار الافود الى داود.

⁸And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

⁸فسأل داود من الرب قائلا. اذا لحقت هؤلاء الغزاة فهل ادركهم. فقال له الحقهم فانك تدرك وتنقذ.

⁹So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.

⁹فذهب داود هو والست مئة الرجل الذين معه وجاءوا الى وادي البسور والمتخلفون وقفوا.

¹⁰But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.

¹⁰واما داود فلحق هو واربع مئة رجل ووقف مئتا رجل لانهم اعيوا عن ان يعبروا وادي البسور.

¹¹And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;

¹¹فصادفوا رجلا مصريا في الحقل فاخذوه الى داود واعطوه خبزا فاكل وسقوه ماء

¹²And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

¹²واعطوه قرصا من التين وعنقودين من الزبيب فاكل ورجعت روحه اليه لانه لم ياكل خبزا ولا شرب ماء في ثلاثة ايام وثلاث ليال.

¹³And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.

¹³فقال له داود لمن انت ومن اين انت. فقال انا غلام مصري عبد لرجل عماليقي وقد تركني سيدي لاني مرضت منذ ثلاثة ايام.

¹⁴We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.

¹⁴فاننا قد غزونا على جنوبي الكريتيين وعلى ما ليهوذا وعلى جنوبي كالب واحرقنا صقلغ بالنار.

¹⁵And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.

¹⁵فقال له داود هل تنزل بي الى هؤلاء الغزاة. فقال احلف لي بالله انك لا تقتلني ولا تسلمني ليد سيدي فانزل بك الى هؤلاء الغزاة.

¹⁶And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

¹⁶فنزل به واذ بهم منتشرون على وجه كل الارض يأكلون ويشربون ويرقصون بسبب جميع الغنيمة العظيمة التي اخذوا من ارض الفلسطينيين ومن ارض يهوذا.

¹⁷And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.

¹⁷فضربهم داود من العتمة الى مساء غدهم ولم ينج منهم رجل الا اربع مئة غلام الذين ركبوا جمالا وهربوا.

¹⁸And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.

¹⁸واستخلص داود كل ما اخذه عماليق وانقذ داود امرأتيه.

¹⁹And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

¹⁹ولم يفقد لهم شيء لا صغير ولا كبير ولا بنون ولا بنات ولا غنيمة ولا شيء من جميع ما اخذوا لهم بل رد داود الجميع.

²⁰And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.

²⁰واخذ داود الغنم والبقر. ساقوها امام تلك الماشية وقالوا هذه غنيمة داود

²¹And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.

²¹وجاء داود الى مئتي الرجل الذين اعيوا عن الذهاب وراء داود فأرجعهم في وادي البسور فخرجوا للقاء داود ولقاء الشعب الذين معه. فتقدم داود الى القوم وسأل عن سلامتهم.

²²Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.

²²فاجاب كل رجل شرير ولئيم من الرجال الذين ساروا مع داود وقالوا لاجل انهم لم يذهبوا معنا لا نعطيهم من الغنيمة التي استخلصناها بل لكل رجل امرأته وبنيه فليقتادوهم وينطلقوا.

²³Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.

²³فقال داود لا تفعلوا هكذا يا اخوتي لان الرب قد اعطانا وحفظنا ودفع ليدنا الغزاة الذين جاءوا علينا.

²⁴For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.

²⁴ومن يسمع لكم في هذا الامر. لانه كنصيب النازل الى الحرب نصيب الذي يقيم عند الامتعة فانهم يقتسمون بالسوية.

²⁵And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.

²⁵وكان من ذلك اليوم فصاعدا انه جعلها فريضة وقضاء لاسرائيل الى هذا اليوم

²⁶And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;

²⁶ولما جاء داود الى صقلغ ارسل من الغنيمة الى شيوخ يهوذا الى اصحابه قائلا هذه لكم بركة من غنيمة اعداء الرب.

²⁷To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,

²⁷الى الذين في بيت ايل والذين في راموت الجنوب والذين في يتّير

²⁸And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,

²⁸والى الذين في عروعير والذين في سفموث والذين في اشتموع

²⁹And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,

²⁹والى الذين في راخال والذين في مدن اليرحمئيليين والذين في مدن القينيين

³⁰And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,

³⁰والى الذين في حرمة والذين في كور عاشان والذين في عتاك

³¹And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.

³¹والى الذين في حبرون والى جميع الاماكن التي تردد فيها داود ورجاله
