تابوت العهد في بيت أبيناداب | |
| 1 فَجَاءَ أَهْلُ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ وَأَصْعَدُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ وَأَدْخَلُوهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ فِي الأَكَمَةِ، وَقَدَّسُوا أَلِعَازَارَ ابْنَهُ لأَجْلِ حِرَاسَةِ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ. | 1 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD. |

| 2 وَكَانَ مِنْ يَوْمِ جُلُوسِ التَّابُوتِ فِي قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ أَنَّ الْمُدَّةَ طَالَتْ وَكَانَتْ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. وَنَاحَ كُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَرَاءَ الرَّبِّ. | 2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD. |
|
|
| 3 وَكَلَّمَ صَمُوئِيلُ كُلَّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «إِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ رَاجِعِينَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، فَانْزِعُوا الآلِهَةَ الْغَرِيبَةَ وَالْعَشْتَارُوثَ مِنْ وَسْطِكُمْ، وَأَعِدُّوا قُلُوبَكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ وَاعْبُدُوهُ وَحْدَهُ، فَيُنْقِذَكُمْ مِنْ يَدِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». | 3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. |
|
|
|
| 4 فَنَزَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الْبَعْلِيمَ وَالْعَشْتَارُوثَ وَعَبَدُوا الرَّبَّ وَحْدَهُ. | 4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only. |

| 5 فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «اجْمَعُوا كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الْمِصْفَاةِ فَأُصَلِّيَ لأَجْلِكُمْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ» | 5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD. |
|
|
|
|
| 6 فَاجْتَمَعُوا إِلَى الْمِصْفَاةِ وَاسْتَقَوْا مَاءً وَسَكَبُوهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَصَامُوا فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَقَالُوا هُنَاكَ: «قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ». وَقَضَى صَمُوئِيلُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ. | 6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh. |
|
|
| 7 وَسَمِعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ، فَصَعِدَ أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ خَافُوا مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | 7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 8 وَقَالَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «لاَ تَكُفَّ عَنِ الصُّرَاخِ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا فَيُخَلِّصَنَا مِنْ يَدِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». | 8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. |
|
|
|
| 9 فَأَخَذَ صَمُوئِيلُ حَمَلاً رَضِيعًا وَأَصْعَدَهُ مُحْرَقَةً بِتَمَامِهِ لِلرَّبِّ، وَصَرَخَ صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ. | 9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him. |
|
|
| 10 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ يُصْعِدُ الْمُحْرَقَةَ، تَقَدَّمَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَرْعَدَ الرَّبُّ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَلَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَأَزْعَجَهُمْ، فَانْكَسَرُوا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | 10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel. |
|
|
| 11 وَخَرَجَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْمِصْفَاةِ وَتَبِعُوا الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَضَرَبُوهُمْ إِلَى مَا تَحْتَ بَيْتِ كَارٍ. | 11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar. |
|
| 12 فَأَخَذَ صَمُوئِيلُ حَجَرًا وَنَصَبَهُ بَيْنَ الْمِصْفَاةِ وَالسِّنِّ، وَدَعَا اسْمَهُ «حَجَرَ الْمَعُونَةِ» وَقَالَ: «إِلَى هُنَا أَعَانَنَا الرَّبُّ». | 12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us. |
|
|
| 13 فَذَلَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَلَمْ يَعُودُوا بَعْدُ لِلدُّخُولِ فِي تُخُمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَكَانَتْ يَدُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ صَمُوئِيلَ. | 13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. |
|
|
|
|
| 14 وَالْمُدُنُ الَّتِي أَخَذَهَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ عَقْرُونَ إِلَى جَتَّ. وَاسْتَخْلَصَ إِسْرَائِيلُ تُخُومَهَا مِنْ يَدِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَكَانَ صُلْحٌ بَيْنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ. | 14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites. |
|
|
| 15 وَقَضَى صَمُوئِيلُ لإِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ. | 15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. |
|
|
|
|
| 16 وَكَانَ يَذْهَبُ مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ وَيَدُورُ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَالْجِلْجَالِ وَالْمِصْفَاةِ، وَيَقْضِي لإِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَمِيعِ هذِهِ الْمَوَاضِعِ. | 16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places. |
|
|
| 17 وَكَانَ رُجُوعُهُ إِلَى الرَّامَةِ لأَنَّ بَيْتَهُ هُنَاكَ. وَهُنَاكَ قَضَى لإِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. | 17 And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD. |
