¹وجمع الفلسطينيون جيوشهم للحرب فاجتمعوا في سوكوه التي ليهوذا ونزلوا بين سوكوه وعزيقة في أفس دمّيم.

¹And the Philistines assembled their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.

²واجتمع شاول ورجال اسرائيل ونزلوا في وادي البطم واصطفوا للحرب للقاء الفلسطينيين.

²And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of terebinths, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.

³وكان الفلسطينيون وقوفا على جبل من هنا واسرائيل وقوفا على جبل من هناك والوادي بينهم.

³And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side; and the ravine was between them.

⁴فخرج رجل مبارز من جيوش الفلسطينيين اسمه جليات من جتّ طوله ست اذرع وشبر.

⁴And there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

⁵وعلى راسه خوذة من نحاس وكان لابسا درعا حرشفيا ووزن الدرع خمسة آلاف شاقل نحاس.

⁵And he had a helmet of bronze upon his head, and he was clothed with a corselet of scales; and the weight of the corselet was five thousand shekels of bronze.

⁶وجرموقا نحاس على رجليه ومزراق نحاس بين كتفيه.

⁶And he had greaves of bronze upon his legs, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders.

⁷وقناة رمحه كنول النساجين وسنان رمحه ست مئة شاقل حديد وحامل الترس كان يمشي قدامه.

⁷And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and the shield-bearer went before him.

⁸فوقف ونادى صفوف اسرائيل وقال لهم لماذا تخرجون لتصطفوا للحرب. اما انا الفلسطيني وانتم عبيد لشاول. اختاروا لانفسكم رجلا ولينزل اليّ.

⁸And he stood and cried to the ranks of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I the Philistine, and ye servants of Saul? choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.

⁹فان قدر ان يحاربني ويقتلني نصير لكم عبيدا. وان قدرت انا عليه وقتلته تصيرون انتم لنا عبيدا وتخدموننا.

⁹If he be able to fight with me, and to smite me, then will we be your servants; but if I overcome and smite him, then shall ye be our servants and serve us.

¹⁰وقال الفلسطيني انا عيّرت صفوف اسرائيل هذا اليوم. اعطوني رجلا فنتحارب معا.

¹⁰And the Philistine said, I have defied the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.

¹¹ولما سمع شاول وجميع اسرائيل كلام الفلسطيني هذا ارتاعوا وخافوا جدا

¹¹And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

¹²وداود هو ابن ذلك الرجل الافراتي من بيت لحم يهوذا الذي اسمه يسّى وله ثمانية بنين. وكان الرجل في ايام شاول قد شاخ وكبر بين الناس.

¹²Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-Judah whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was old in the days of Saul, advanced [in years] among men.

¹³وذهب بنو يسّى الثلاثة الكبار وتبعوا شاول الى الحرب. واسماء بنيه الثلاثة الذين ذهبوا الى الحرب اليآب البكر وابيناداب ثانيه وشمّة ثالثهما.

¹³And the three eldest of the sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

¹⁴وداود هو الصغير والثلاثة الكبار ذهبوا وراء شاول.

¹⁴And David was the youngest; and the three eldest had followed Saul.

¹⁵واما داود فكان يذهب ويرجع من عند شاول ليرعى غنم ابيه في بيت لحم

¹⁵But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.

¹⁶وكان الفلسطيني يتقدم ويقف صباحا ومساء اربعين يوما.

¹⁶And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.

¹⁷فقال يسّى لداود ابنه خذ لاخوتك ايفة من هذا الفريك وهذه العشر الخبزات واركض الى المحلّة الى اخوتك.

¹⁷And Jesse said to David his son, Take, I pray, for thy brethren, this ephah of parched [corn] and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to thy brethren;

¹⁸وهذه العشر القطعات من الجبن قدمها لرئيس الالف وافتقد سلامة اخوتك وخذ منهم عربونا.

¹⁸and carry these ten cheeses to the captain of the thousand, and visit thy brethren to see how they are, and take a pledge of them.

¹⁹وكان شاول وهم وجميع رجال اسرائيل في وادي البطم يحاربون الفلسطينيين

¹⁹Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel [were] in the valley of terebinths, fighting against the Philistines.

²⁰فبكر داود صباحا وترك الغنم مع حارس وحمل وذهب كما امره يسّى واتى الى المتراس والجيش خارج الى الاصطفاف وهتفوا للحرب.

²⁰And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took his charge and went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the wagon-defence; and the host which was going forth to the battle-array shouted for the fight.

²¹واصطف اسرائيل والفلسطينيون صفا مقابل صف.

²¹And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, rank against rank.

²²فترك داود الامتعة التي معه بيد حافظ الامتعة وركض الى الصف وأتى وسأل عن سلامة اخوته.

²²And David left the things he was carrying in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran into the ranks, and came and saluted his brethren.

²³وفيما هو يكلمهم اذا برجل مبارز اسمه جليات الفلسطيني من جتّ صاعد من صفوف الفلسطينيين وتكلم بمثل هذا الكلام فسمع داود.

²³And as he talked with them, behold there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words; and David heard [them].

²⁴وجميع رجال اسرائيل لما رأوا الرجل هربوا منه وخافوا جدا.

²⁴And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were greatly afraid.

²⁵فقال رجال اسرائيل. أرأيتم هذا الرجل الصاعد. ليعيّر اسرائيل هو صاعد. فيكون ان الرجل الذي يقتله يغنيه الملك غنى جزيلا ويعطيه بنته ويجعل بيت ابيه حرا في اسرائيل

²⁵And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that comes up? for to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who smites him, him will the king enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.

²⁶فكلم داود الرجال الواقفين معه قائلا ماذا يفعل للرجل الذي يقتل ذلك الفلسطيني ويزيل العار عن اسرائيل. لانه من هو هذا الفلسطيني الاغلف حتى يعيّر صفوف الله الحي.

²⁶And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that smites this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?

²⁷فكلمه الشعب بمثل هذا الكلام قائلين كذا يفعل للرجل الذي يقتله.

²⁷And the people told him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that smites him.

²⁸وسمع اخوه الاكبر اليآب كلامه مع الرجال فحمي غضب اليآب على داود وقال لماذا نزلت وعلى من تركت تلك الغنيمات القليلة في البرية. انا علمت كبرياءك وشر قلبك لانك انما نزلت لكي ترى الحرب.

²⁸And Eliab, his eldest brother, heard while he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.

²⁹فقال داود ماذا عملت الآن. أما هو كلام.

²⁹And David said, What have I now done? Was it not laid upon me?

³⁰وتحول من عنده نحو آخر وتكلم بمثل هذا الكلام فرد له الشعب جوابا كالجواب الاول.

³⁰And he turned from him to another, and spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him again after the former manner.

³¹وسمع الكلام الذي تكلم به داود واخبروا به امام شاول. فاستحضره.

³¹And the words were heard which David spoke, and they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.

³²فقال داود لشاول لا يسقط قلب احد بسببه. عبدك يذهب ويحارب هذا الفلسطيني.

³²And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him: thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

³³فقال شاول لداود لا تستطيع ان تذهب لهذا الفلسطيني لتحاربه لانك غلام وهو رجل حرب منذ صباه.

³³And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.

³⁴فقال داود لشاول كان عبدك يرعى لابيه غنما فجاء اسد مع دب واخذ شاة من القطيع.

³⁴And David said to Saul, Thy servant fed his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and also a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock.

³⁵فخرجت وراءه وقتلته وانقذتها من فيه ولما قام عليّ امسكته من ذقنه وضربته فقتلته.

³⁵And I went after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I seized him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

³⁶قتل عبدك الاسد والدب جميعا. وهذا الفلسطيني الاغلف يكون كواحد منهما لانه قد عيّر صفوف الله الحي.

³⁶Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.

³⁷وقال داود الرب الذي انقذني من يد الاسد ومن يد الدب هو ينقذني من يد هذا الفلسطيني. فقال شاول لداود اذهب وليكن الرب معك.

³⁷And David said, Jehovah who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and Jehovah be with thee.

³⁸وألبس شاول داود ثيابه وجعل خوذة من نحاس على راسه وألبسه درعا.

³⁸And Saul clothed David with his dress, and put a helmet of bronze upon his head, and clothed him with a corselet.

³⁹فتقلد داود بسيفه فوق ثيابه وعزم ان يمشي لانه لم يكن قد جرب. فقال داود لشاول لا اقدر ان امشي بهذه لاني لم اجربها. ونزعها داود عنه.

³⁹And David girded his sword upon his dress, and endeavoured to go; for he had not yet tried [it]. And David said to Saul, I cannot go in these; for I have never tried [them]. And David put them off him.

⁴⁰واخذ عصاه بيده وانتخب له خمسة حجارة ملس من الوادي وجعلها في كنف الرعاة الذي له اي في الجراب ومقلاعه بيده وتقدم نحو الفلسطيني.

⁴⁰And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag that he had, into the pocket; and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.

⁴¹وذهب الفلسطيني ذاهبا واقترب الى داود والرجل حامل الترس امامه.

⁴¹And the Philistine came on and approached David; and the man that bore the shield was before him.

⁴²ولما نظر الفلسطيني ورأى داود استحقره لانه كان غلاما واشقر جميل المنظر.

⁴²And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was a youth, and ruddy, and besides of a beautiful countenance.

⁴³فقال الفلسطيني لداود ألعلي انا كلب حتى انك تأتي اليّ بعصيّ. ولعن الفلسطيني داود بآلهته.

⁴³And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

⁴⁴وقال الفلسطيني لداود تعال اليّ فاعطي لحمك لطيور السماء ووحوش البرية.

⁴⁴And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the fowls of the heavens and to the beasts of the field.

⁴⁵فقال داود للفلسطيني انت تاتي اليّ بسيف وبرمح وبترس. وانا آتي اليك باسم رب الجنود اله صفوف اسرائيل الذين عيّرتهم.

⁴⁵And David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin; but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

⁴⁶هذا اليوم يحبسك الرب في يدي فاقتلك واقطع راسك. واعطي جثث جيش الفلسطينيين هذا اليوم لطيور السماء وحيوانات الارض فتعلم كل الارض انه يوجد اله لاسرائيل.

⁴⁶This day will Jehovah deliver thee up into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the camp of the Philistines this day to the fowl of the heavens and to the wild beasts of the earth. And all the earth shall know that Israel has a God;

⁴⁷وتعلم هذه الجماعة كلها انه ليس بسيف ولا برمح يخلّص الرب لان الحرب للرب وهو يدفعكم ليدنا.

⁴⁷and all this congregation shall know that Jehovah saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is Jehovah's, and he will give you into our hands.

⁴⁸وكان لما قام الفلسطيني وذهب وتقدم للقاء داود ان داود اسرع وركض نحو الصف للقاء الفلسطيني.

⁴⁸And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and advanced to meet David, that David hasted, and ran towards the ranks to meet the Philistine.

⁴⁹ومد داود يده الى الكنف واخذ منه حجرا ورماه بالمقلاع وضرب الفلسطيني في جبهته فارتزّ الحجر في جبهته وسقط على وجهه الى الارض.

⁴⁹And David put his hand into the bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, and the stone sank into his forehead; and he fell on his face to the earth.

⁵⁰فتمكن داود من الفلسطيني بالمقلاع والحجر وضرب الفلسطيني وقتله. ولم يكن سيف بيد داود.

⁵⁰So David overcame the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and killed him; and there was no sword in the hand of David.

⁵¹فركض داود ووقف على الفلسطيني واخذ سيفه واخترطه من غمده وقتله وقطع به راسه. فلما رأى الفلسطينيون ان جبارهم قد مات هربوا.

⁵¹And David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him completely, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they fled.

⁵²فقام رجال اسرائيل ويهوذا وهتفوا ولحقوا الفلسطينيين حتى مجيئك الى الوادي وحتى ابواب عقرون. فسقطت قتلى الفلسطينيين في طريق شعرايم الى جتّ والى عقرون.

⁵²And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to the ravine and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down on the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.

⁵³ثم رجع بنو اسرائيل من الاحتماء وراء الفلسطينيين ونهبوا محلّتهم.

⁵³And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they pillaged their camps.

⁵⁴واخذ داود راس الفلسطيني. وأتى به الى اورشليم. ووضع ادواته في خيمته

⁵⁴And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.

⁵⁵ولما رأى شاول داود خارجا للقاء الفلسطيني قال لابنير رئيس الجيش ابن من هذا الغلام يا ابنير. فقال ابنير وحياتك ايها الملك لست اعلم.

⁵⁵And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.

⁵⁶فقال الملك اسأل ابن من هذا الغلام.

⁵⁶And the king said, Inquire thou whose son this youth is.

⁵⁷ولما رجع داود من قتل الفلسطيني اخذه ابنير واحضره امام شاول وراس الفلسطيني بيده.

⁵⁷And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

⁵⁸فقال له شاول ابن من انت يا غلام. فقال داود ابن عبدك يسّى البيتلحمي

⁵⁸And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? And David said, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
