1It happened after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag;
1وكان بعد موت شاول ورجوع داود من مضاربة العمالقة ان داود اقام في صقلغ يومين.
2it happened on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn, and earth on his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and showed respect.
2وفي اليوم الثالث اذا برجل اتى من المحلّة من عند شاول وثيابه ممزقة وعلى راسه تراب. فلما جاء الى داود خرّ الى الارض وسجد.
3David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
3فقال له داود من اين اتيت. فقال له من محلّة اسرائيل نجوت.
4David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”
4فقال له داود كيف كان الامر. اخبرني. فقال ان الشعب قد هرب من القتال وسقط ايضا كثيرون من الشعب وماتوا ومات شاول ويوناثان ابنه ايضا.
5David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
5فقال داود للغلام الذي اخبره كيف عرفت انه قد مات شاول ويوناثان ابنه.
6The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him.
6فقال الغلام الذي اخبره اتفق اني كنت في جبل جلبوع واذا شاول يتوكأ على رمحه واذا بالمركبات والفرسان يشدّون وراءه.
7When he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’
7فالتفت الى ورائه فرآني ودعاني فقلت هانذا.
8He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
8فقال لي من انت فقلت له عماليقي انا.
9He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me.’
9فقال لي قف عليّ واقتلني لانه قد اعتراني الدوار لان كل نفسي بعد فيّ.
10So I stood beside him, and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”
10فوقفت عليه وقتلته لاني علمت انه لا يعيش بعد سقوطه واخذت الاكليل الذي على راسه والسوار الذي على ذراعه واتيت بهما الى سيدي ههنا.
11Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and likewise all the men who were with him.
11فامسك داود ثيابه ومزقها وكذا جميع الرجال الذين معه.
12They mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yahweh, “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
12وندبوا وبكوا وصاموا الى المساء على شاول وعلى يوناثان ابنه وعلى شعب الرب وعلى بيت اسرائيل لانهم سقطوا بالسيف.
13David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”
13ثم قال داود للغلام الذي اخبره من اين انت. فقال انا ابن رجل غريب عماليقي.
14David said to him, “How were you not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy Yahweh’s anointed?”
14فقال له داود كيف لم تخف ان تمد يدك لتهلك مسيح الرب.
15David called one of the young men, and said, “Go near, and fall on him.” He struck him, so that he died.
15ثم دعا داود واحدا من الغلمان وقال تقدم. اوقع به. فضربه فمات.
16David said to him, “Your blood be on your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain Yahweh’s anointed.’”
16فقال له داود دمك على راسك لان فمك شهد عليك قائلا انا قتلت مسيح الرب
17David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
17ورثا داود بهذه المرثاة شاول ويوناثان ابنه
18(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
18وقال ان يتعلم بنو يهوذا نشيد القوس هوذا ذلك مكتوب في سفر ياشر
19“Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
19الظبي يا اسرائيل مقتول على شوامخك. كيف سقط الجبابرة.
20Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
20لا تخبروا في جتّ. لا تبشروا في اسواق اشقلون لئلا تفرح بنات الفلسطينيين لئلا تشمت بنات الغلف.
21You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain on you, neither fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
21يا جبال جلبوع لا يكن طل ولا مطر عليكنّ ولا حقول تقدمات لانه هناك طرح مجنّ الجبابرة مجنّ شاول بلا مسح بالدهن.
22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back. Saul’s sword didn’t return empty.
22من دم القتلى من شحم الجبابرة لم ترجع قوس يوناثان الى الوراء وسيف شاول لم يرجع خائبا.
23Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.
23شاول ويوناثان المحبوبان والحلوان في حياتهما لم يفترقا في موتهما. اخف من النسور واشدّ من الأسود.
24You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet delicately, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
24يا بنات اسرائيل ابكين شاول الذي ألبسكنّ قرمزا بالتنعم وجعل حليّ الذهب على ملابسكنّ.
25How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain on your high places.
25كيف سقط الجبابرة في وسط الحرب. يوناثان على شوامخك مقتول.
26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
26قد تضايقت عليك يا اخي يوناثان. كنت حلوا لي جدا. محبتك لي اعجب من محبة النساء.
27How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!”
27كيف سقط الجبابرة وبادت آلات الحرب
