داود يقيم مع الفلسطينيين | |
| 1 وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «إِنِّي سَأَهْلِكُ يَوْمًا بِيَدِ شَاوُلَ، فَلاَ شَيْءَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ أَنْ أُفْلِتَ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَيَيْأَسُ شَاوُلُ مِنِّي فَلاَ يُفَتِّشُ عَلَيَّ بَعْدُ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَنْجُو مِنْ يَدِهِ». | 1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand. |
|
| 2 فَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَعَبَرَ هُوَ وَالسِّتُّ مِئَةِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ، إِلَى أَخِيشَ بْنِ مَعُوكَ مَلِكِ جَتٍّ. | 2 And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath. |
|
| 3 وَأَقَامَ دَاوُدُ عِنْدَ أَخِيشَ فِي جَتٍّ هُوَ وَرِجَالُهُ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ وَبَيْتُهُ، دَاوُدُ وَامْرَأَتَاهُ أَخِينُوعَمُ الْيَزْرَعِيلِيَّةُ وَأَبِيجَايِلُ امْرَأَةُ نَابَالَ الْكَرْمَلِيَّةُ. | 3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife. |
|
| 4 فَأُخْبِرَ شَاوُلُ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدْ هَرَبَ إِلَى جَتٍّ فَلَمْ يَعُدْ أَيْضًا يُفَتِّشُ عَلَيْهِ. | 4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him. |
|
| 5 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لأَخِيشَ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ، فَلْيُعْطُونِي مَكَانًا فِي إِحْدَى قُرَى الْحَقْلِ فَأَسْكُنَ هُنَاكَ. وَلِمَاذَا يَسْكُنُ عَبْدُكَ فِي مَدِينَةِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ مَعَكَ؟» | 5 And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee? |
|
| 6 فَأَعْطَاهُ أَخِيشُ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ صِقْلَغَ. لِذلِكَ صَارَتْ صِقْلَغُ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ. | 6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. |
|
| 7 وَكَانَ عَدَدُ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي سَكَنَ فِيهَا دَاوُدُ فِي بِلاَدِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سَنَةً وَأَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | 7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months. |
|
| 8 وَصَعِدَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ وَغَزَوْا الْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَالْجَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْعَمَالِقَةَ، لأَنَّ هؤُلاَءِ مِنْ قَدِيمٍ سُكَّانُ الأَرْضِ مِنْ عِنْدِ شُورٍ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | 8 And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt. |
|
| 9 وَضَرَبَ دَاوُدُ الأَرْضَ، وَلَمْ يَسْتَبْقِ رَجُلاً وَلاَ امْرَأَةً، وَأَخَذَ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَحَمِيرًا وَجِمَالاً وَثِيَابًا وَرَجَعَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى أَخِيشَ. | 9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish. |
|
| 10 فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ: «إِذًا لَمْ تَغْزُوا الْيَوْمَ». فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «بَلَى. عَلَى جَنُوبِيِّ يَهُوذَا، وَجَنُوبِيِّ الْيَرْحَمِئِيلِيِّينَ، وَجَنُوبِيِّ الْقِينِيِّينَ». | 10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites. |
|
| 11 فَلَمْ يَسْتَبْقِ دَاوُدُ رَجُلاً وَلاَ امْرَأَةً حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ إِلَى جَتٍّ، إِذْ قَالَ: «لِئَلاَّ يُخْبِرُوا عَنَّا قَائِلِينَ: هكَذَا فَعَلَ دَاوُدُ». وَهكَذَا عَادَتُهُ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ إِقَامَتِهِ فِي بِلاَدِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | 11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines. |
|
| 12 فَصَدَّقَ أَخِيشُ دَاوُدَ قَائِلاً: «قَدْ صَارَ مَكْرُوهًا لَدَى شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَكُونُ لِي عَبْدًا إِلَى الأَبَدِ». | 12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever. |
