1It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
1وكان لما فرغ من الكلام مع شاول انّ نفس يوناثان تعلّقت بنفس داود واحبه يوناثان كنفسه.
2Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house.
2فأخذه شاول في ذلك اليوم ولم يدعه يرجع الى بيت ابيه.
3Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
3وقطع يوناثان وداود عهدا لانه احبه كنفسه.
4Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his clothing, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his sash.
4وخلع يوناثان الجبة التي عليه واعطاها لداود مع ثيابه وسيفه وقوسه ومنطقته.
5David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
5وكان داود يخرج الى حيثما ارسله شاول. كان يفلح. فجعله شاول على رجال الحرب وحسن في اعين جميع الشعب وفي اعين عبيد شاول ايضا
6It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
6وكان عند مجيئهم حين رجع داود من قتل الفلسطيني ان النساء خرجت من جميع مدن اسرائيل بالغناء والرقص للقاء شاول الملك بدفوف وبفرح وبمثلثات.
7The women sang one to another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands.”
7فاجابت النساء اللاعبات وقلن ضرب شاول الوفه وداود ربواته.
8Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
8فاحتمى شاول جدا وساء هذا الكلام في عينيه وقال اعطين داود ربوات واما انا فاعطينني الالوف. وبعد فقط تبق له المملكة.
9Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
9فكان شاول يعاين داود من ذلك اليوم فصاعدا.
10It happened on the next day, that an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
10وكان في الغد ان الروح الردي من قبل الله اقتحم شاول وجنّ في وسط البيت وكان داود يضرب بيده كما في يوم فيوم وكان الرمح بيد شاول.
11and Saul threw the spear; for he said, “I will pin David even to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.
11فاشرع شاول الرمح وقال اضرب داود حتى الى الحائط. فتحول داود من امامه مرتين.
12Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, and was departed from Saul.
12وكان شاول يخاف داود لان الرب كان معه وقد فارق شاول.
13Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
13فابعده شاول عنه وجعله له رئيس الف فكان يخرج ويدخل امام الشعب.
14David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yahweh was with him.
14وكان داود مفلحا في جميع طرقه والرب معه.
15When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
15فلما رأى شاول انه مفلح جدا فزع منه.
16But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
16وكان جميع اسرائيل ويهوذا يحبون داود لانه كان يخرج ويدخل امامهم
17Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
17وقال شاول لداود هوذا ابنتي الكبيرة ميرب اعطيك اياها امرأة. انما كن لي ذا بأس وحارب حروب الرب. فان شاول قال لا تكن يدي عليه بل لتكن عليه يد الفلسطينيين.
18David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
18فقال داود لشاول من انا وما هي حياتي وعشيرة ابي في اسرائيل حتى اكون صهر الملك.
19But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
19وكان في وقت اعطاء ميرب ابنة شاول لداود انها أعطيت لعدريئيل المحولي امرأة.
20Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
20وميكال ابنة شاول احبت داود فاخبروا شاول فحسن الامر في عينيه.
21Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David, “You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time.”
21وقال شاول اعطيه اياها فتكون له شركا وتكون يد الفلسطينيين عليه. وقال شاول لداود ثانية تصاهرني اليوم.
22Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you: now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”
22وأمر شاول عبيده. تكلموا مع داود سرّا قائلين هوذا قد سرّ بك الملك وجميع عبيده قد احبوك فالآن صاهر الملك.
23Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seems to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
23فتكلم عبيد شاول في اذني داود بهذا الكلام. فقال داود هل مستخف في اعينكم مصاهرة الملك وانا رجل مسكين وحقير.
24The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”
24فاخبر شاول عبيده قائلين بمثل هذا الكلام تكلم داود.
25Saul said, “You shall tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
25فقال شاول هكذا تقولون لداود. ليست مسرّة الملك بالمهر بل بمئة غلفة من الفلسطينيين للانتقام من اعداء الملك. وكان شاول يتفكر ان يوقع داود بيد الفلسطينيين.
26When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. The days were not expired;
26فاخبر عبيده داود بهذا الكلام فحسن الكلام في عيني داود ان يصاهر الملك. ولم تكمل الايام
27and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
27حتى قام داود وذهب هو ورجاله وقتل من الفلسطينيين مئتي رجل واتى داود بغلفهم فاكملوها للملك لمصاهرة الملك. فاعطاه شاول ميكال ابنته امرأة.
28Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
28فرأى شاول وعلم ان الرب مع داود. وميكال ابنة شاول كانت تحبه.
29Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
29وعاد شاول يخاف داود بعد وصار شاول عدوا لداود كل الايام
30Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
30وخرج اقطاب الفلسطينيين ومن حين خروجهم كان داود يفلح اكثر من جميع عبيد شاول فتوقّر اسمه جدا
