شعب إسرائيل يطلب ملكًا | |
| 1 وَكَانَ لَمَّا شَاخَ صَمُوئِيلُ أَنَّهُ جَعَلَ بَنِيهِ قُضَاةً لإِسْرَائِيلَ. | 1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 2 وَكَانَ اسْمُ ابْنِهِ الْبِكْرِ يُوئِيلَ، وَاسْمُ ثَانِيهِ أَبِيَّا. كَانَا قَاضِيَيْنِ فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. | 2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba. |
|
| 3 وَلَمْ يَسْلُكِ ابْنَاهُ فِي طَرِيقِهِ، بَلْ مَالاَ وَرَاءَ الْمَكْسَبِ، وَأَخَذَا رَشْوَةً وَعَوَّجَا الْقَضَاءَ. | 3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. |
|
| 4 فَاجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى صَمُوئِيلَ إِلَى الرَّامَةِ | 4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, |
|
|
|
|
| 5 وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هُوَذَا أَنْتَ قَدْ شِخْتَ، وَابْنَاكَ لَمْ يَسِيرَا فِي طَرِيقِكَ. فَالآنَ اجْعَلْ لَنَا مَلِكًا يَقْضِي لَنَا كَسَائِرِ الشُّعُوبِ». | 5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. |
|
|
| 6 فَسَاءَ الأَمْرُ فِي عَيْنَيْ صَمُوئِيلَ إِذْ قَالُوا: «أَعْطِنَا مَلِكًا يَقْضِي لَنَا». وَصَلَّى صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ. | 6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. |
|
|
|
| 7 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «اسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ الشَّعْبِ فِي كُلِّ مَا يَقُولُونَ لَكَ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرْفُضُوكَ أَنْتَ بَلْ إِيَّايَ رَفَضُوا حَتَّى لاَ أَمْلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ. | 7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. |
|
|
| 8 حَسَبَ كُلِّ أَعْمَالِهِمِ الَّتِي عَمِلُوا مِنْ يَوْمِ أَصْعَدْتُهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ وَتَرَكُونِي وَعَبَدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، هكَذَا هُمْ عَامِلُونَ بِكَ أَيْضًا. | 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. |
|
| 9 فَالآنَ اسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِهِمْ. وَلكِنْ أَشْهِدَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ بِقَضَاءِ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ عَلَيْهِمْ». | 9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. |
|
|
| 10 فَكَلَّمَ صَمُوئِيلُ الشَّعْبَ الَّذِينَ طَلَبُوا مِنْهُ مَلِكًا بِجَمِيعِ كَلاَمِ الرَّبِّ، | 10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king. |
|
|
|
|
| 11 وَقَالَ: «هذَا يَكُونُ قَضَاءُ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ عَلَيْكُمْ: يَأْخُذُ بَنِيكُمْ وَيَجْعَلُهُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ، لِمَرَاكِبِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ، فَيَرْكُضُونَ أَمَامَ مَرَاكِبِهِ. | 11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. |
|
|
| 12 وَيَجْعَلُ لِنَفْسِهِ رُؤَسَاءَ أُلُوفٍ وَرُؤَسَاءَ خَمَاسِينَ، فَيَحْرُثُونَ حَرَاثَتَهُ وَيَحْصُدُونَ حَصَادَهُ، وَيَعْمَلُونَ عُدَّةَ حَرْبِهِ وَأَدَوَاتِ مَرَاكِبِهِ. | 12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. |
|
| 13 وَيَأْخُذُ بَنَاتِكُمْ عَطَّارَاتٍ وَطَبَّاخَاتٍ وَخَبَّازَاتٍ. | 13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. |
|
| 14 وَيَأْخُذُ حُقُولَكُمْ وَكُرُومَكُمْ وَزَيْتُونَكُمْ، أَجْوَدَهَا وَيُعْطِيهَا لِعَبِيدِهِ. | 14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. |
|
|
| 15 وَيُعَشِّرُ زُرُوعَكُمْ وَكُرُومَكُمْ، وَيُعْطِي لِخِصْيَانِهِ وَعَبِيدِهِ. | 15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. |
|
| 16 وَيَأْخُذُ عَبِيدَكُمْ وَجَوَارِيَكُمْ وَشُبَّانَكُمُ الْحِسَانَ وَحَمِيرَكُمْ وَيَسْتَعْمِلُهُمْ لِشُغْلِهِ. | 16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. |
|
| 17 وَيُعَشِّرُ غَنَمَكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ لَهُ عَبِيدًا. | 17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. |
|
| 18 فَتَصْرُخُونَ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مِنْ وَجْهِ مَلِكِكُمُ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُمُوهُ لأَنْفُسِكُمْ، فَلاَ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ». | 18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day. |
|
| 19 فَأَبَى الشَّعْبُ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ صَمُوئِيلَ، وَقَالُوا: «لاَ بَلْ يَكُونُ عَلَيْنَا مَلِكٌ، | 19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us; |
|
|
|
|
| 20 فَنَكُونُ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا مِثْلَ سَائِرِ الشُّعُوبِ، وَيَقْضِي لَنَا مَلِكُنَا وَيَخْرُجُ أَمَامَنَا وَيُحَارِبُ حُرُوبَنَا». | 20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles. |
|
| 21 فَسَمِعَ صَمُوئِيلُ كُلَّ كَلاَمِ الشَّعْبِ وَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ فِي أُذُنَيِ الرَّبِّ. | 21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD. |
|
| 22 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «اسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِهِمْ وَمَلِّكْ عَلَيْهِمْ مَلِكًا». فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِرِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «اذْهَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ». | 22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city. |
