1It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid on the South, and on Ziklag, and had struck 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 captive the women and all who were therein, both small and great. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
2وسبوا النساء اللواتي فيها. لم يقتلوا احدا لا صغيرا ولا كبيرا بل ساقوهم ومضوا في طريقهم.
3When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
3فدخل داود ورجاله المدينة واذا هي محرقة بالنار ونساؤهم وبنوهم وبناتهم قد سبوا.
4Then David and the people who 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.
5David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
5وسبيت امرأتا داود اخينوعم اليزرعيلية وابيجايل امرأة نابال الكرملي.
6David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in Yahweh 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
7David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring me here the ephod.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
7ثم قال داود لابياثار الكاهن ابن اخيمالك قدم اليّ الافود. فقدّم ابياثار الافود الى داود.
8David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall 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 who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who 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 stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn’t go over the brook Besor.
10واما داود فلحق هو واربع مئة رجل ووقف مئتا رجل لانهم اعيوا عن ان يعبروا وادي البسور.
11They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
11فصادفوا رجلا مصريا في الحقل فاخذوه الى داود واعطوه خبزا فاكل وسقوه ماء
12They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. 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.
13David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago 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 a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on 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.
15David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”
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.
16When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, 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.
17David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
17فضربهم داود من العتمة الى مساء غدهم ولم ينج منهم رجل الا اربع مئة غلام الذين ركبوا جمالا وهربوا.
18David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
18واستخلص داود كل ما اخذه عماليق وانقذ داود امرأتيه.
19There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back 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.
20David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s spoil.”
20واخذ داود الغنم والبقر. ساقوها امام تلك الماشية وقالوا هذه غنيمة داود
21David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted 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 all the wicked men and base fellows, of those who went with David, answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he 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 David said, “You shall not do so, my brothers, with that which Yahweh has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop 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.
24Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who tarries by the baggage: they shall share alike.”
24ومن يسمع لكم في هذا الامر. لانه كنصيب النازل الى الحرب نصيب الذي يقيم عند الامتعة فانهم يقتسمون بالسوية.
25It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
25وكان من ذلك اليوم فصاعدا انه جعلها فريضة وقضاء لاسرائيل الى هذا اليوم
26When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh.”
26ولما جاء داود الى صقلغ ارسل من الغنيمة الى شيوخ يهوذا الى اصحابه قائلا هذه لكم بركة من غنيمة اعداء الرب.
27He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir,
27الى الذين في بيت ايل والذين في راموت الجنوب والذين في يتّير
28and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
28والى الذين في عروعير والذين في سفموث والذين في اشتموع
29and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
29والى الذين في راخال والذين في مدن اليرحمئيليين والذين في مدن القينيين
30and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Borashan, and to those who were in Athach,
30والى الذين في حرمة والذين في كور عاشان والذين في عتاك
31and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
31والى الذين في حبرون والى جميع الاماكن التي تردد فيها داود ورجاله
