1 Samuel 17

1 Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh in Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.

1 وَجَمَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ جُيُوشَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ، فَٱجْتَمَعُوا فِي سُوكُوهَ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا، وَنَزَلُوا بَيْنَ سُوكُوهَ وَعَزِيقَةَ فِي أَفَسِ دَمِّيمَ.

2 Saul and the men of Israel assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, arraying themselves for battle against the Philistines.

2 وَٱجْتَمَعَ شَاوُلُ وَرِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي وَادِي ٱلْبُطْمِ، وَٱصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

3 The Philistines stood on one hill and the Israelites stood on another, with the valley between them.

3 وَكَانَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وُقُوفًا عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْ هُنَا، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ وُقُوفًا عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْوَادِي بَيْنَهُمْ.

4 Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,

4 فَخَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مُبَارِزٌ مِنْ جُيُوشِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱسْمُهُ جُلْيَاتُ، مِنْ جَتَّ، طُولُهُ سِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ وَشِبْرٌ،

5 and he had a bronze helmet on his head. He wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels,

5 وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ خُوذَةٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَكَانَ لَابِسًا دِرْعًا حَرْشَفِيًّا، وَوَزْنَ ٱلْدِّرْعِ خَمْسَةُ آلَافِ شَاقِلِ نُحَاسٍ،

6 and he had armor of bronze on his legs and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.

6 وَجُرْمُوقَا نُحَاسٍ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ، وَمِزْرَاقُ نُحَاسٍ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ،

7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.

7 وَقَنَاةُ رُمْحِهِ كَنَوْلِ ٱلنَّسَّاجِينَ، وَسِنَانُ رُمْحِهِ سِتُّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلِ حَدِيدٍ، وَحَامِلُ ٱلتُّرْسِ كَانَ يَمْشِي قُدَّامَهُ.

8 And Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.

8 فَوَقَفَ وَنَادَى صُفُوفَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا تَخْرُجُونَ لِتَصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ؟ أَمَا أَنَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ، وَأَنْتُمْ عَبِيدٌ لِشَاوُلَ؟ ٱخْتَارُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ رَجُلًا وَلْيَنْزِلْ إِلَيَّ.

9 If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and work for us.”

9 فَإِنْ قَدَرَ أَنْ يُحَارِبَنِي وَيَقْتُلَنِي نَصِيرُ لَكُمْ عَبِيدًا، وَإِنْ قَدَرْتُ أَنَا عَلَيْهِ وَقَتَلْتُهُ تَصِيرُونَ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا عَبِيدًا وَتَخْدِمُونَنَا».

10 Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man to fight!”

10 وَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ: «أَنَا عَيَّرْتُ صُفُوفَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ. أَعْطُونِي رَجُلًا فَنَتَحَارَبَ مَعًا».

11 On hearing the words of the Philistine, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and greatly afraid.

11 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ شَاوُلُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَلَامَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ هَذَا ٱرْتَاعُوا وَخَافُوا جِدًّا.

12 Now David was the son of a man named Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah who had eight sons. And in the days of Saul, Jesse was old and well along in years.

12 وَدَاوُدُ هُوَ ٱبْنُ ذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْأَفْرَاتِيِّ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِي ٱسْمُهُ يَسَّى وَلَهُ ثَمَانِيَةُ بَنِينَ. وَكَانَ ٱلرَّجُلُ فِي أَيَّامِ شَاوُلَ قَدْ شَاخَ وَكَبُرَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ.

13 The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul into battle: The firstborn was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.

13 وَذَهَبَ بَنُو يَسَّى ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ ٱلْكِبَارُ وَتَبِعُوا شَاوُلَ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ. وَأَسْمَاءُ بَنِيهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ: أَلِيآبُ ٱلْبِكْرُ، وَأَبِينَادَابُ ثَانِيهِ، وَشَمَّةُ ثَالِثُهُمَا.

14 And David was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul,

14 وَدَاوُدُ هُوَ ٱلصَّغِيرُ. وَٱلثَّلَاثَةُ ٱلْكِبَارُ ذَهَبُوا وَرَاءَ شَاوُلَ.

15 but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem.

15 وَأَمَّا دَاوُدُ فَكَانَ يَذْهَبُ وَيَرْجِعُ مِنْ عِنْدِ شَاوُلَ لِيَرْعَى غَنَمَ أَبِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ.

16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening to take his stand.

16 وَكَانَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ يَتَقَدَّمُ وَيَقِفُ صَبَاحًا وَمَسَاءً أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا.

17 One day Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.

17 فَقَالَ يَسَّى لِدَاوُدَ ٱبْنِهِ: «خُذْ لِإِخْوَتِكَ إِيفَةً مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْفَرِيكِ، وَهَذِهِ ٱلْعَشَرَ ٱلْخُبْزَاتِ وَٱرْكُضْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى إِخْوَتِكَ.

18 Take also these ten portions of cheese to the commander of their unit. Check on the welfare of your brothers and bring back an assurance from them.

18 وَهَذِهِ ٱلْعَشَرَ ٱلْقِطْعَاتِ مِنَ ٱلْجُبْنِ قَدِّمْهَا لِرَئِيسِ ٱلْأَلْفِ، وَٱفْتَقِدْ سَلَامَةَ إِخْوَتِكَ وَخُذْ مِنْهُمْ عُرْبُونًا».

19 They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”

19 وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ وَهُمْ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَادِي ٱلْبُطْمِ يُحَارِبُونَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

20 So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and shouting the battle cry.

20 فَبَكَّرَ دَاوُدُ صَبَاحًا وَتَرَكَ ٱلْغَنَمَ مَعَ حَارِسٍ، وَحَمَّلَ وَذَهَبَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ يَسَّى، وَأَتَى إِلَى ٱلْمِتْرَاسِ، وَٱلْجَيْشُ خَارِجٌ إِلَى ٱلِٱصْطِفَافِ وَهَتَفُوا لِلْحَرْبِ.

21 And Israel and the Philistines arrayed in formation against each other.

21 وَٱصْطَفَّ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ صَفًّا مُقَابِلَ صَفٍّ.

22 Then David left his supplies in the care of the quartermaster and ran to the battle line. When he arrived, he asked his brothers how they were doing.

22 فَتَرَكَ دَاوُدُ ٱلْأَمْتِعَةَ ٱلَّتِي مَعَهُ بِيَدِ حَافِظِ ٱلْأَمْتِعَةِ، وَرَكَضَ إِلَى ٱلصَّفِّ وَأَتَى وَسَأَلَ عَنْ سَلَامَةِ إِخْوَتِهِ.

23 And as he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the ranks of the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.

23 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ إِذَا بِرَجُلٍ مُبَارِزٍ ٱسْمُهُ جُلْيَاتُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ مِنْ جَتَّ، صَاعِدٌ مِنْ صُفُوفِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَتَكَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَسَمِعَ دَاوُدُ.

24 When all the men of Israel saw Goliath, they fled from him in great fear.

24 وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمَّا رَأَوْا ٱلرَّجُلَ هَرَبُوا مِنْهُ وَخَافُوا جِدًّا.

25 Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see how this man keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”

25 فَقَالَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَرَأَيْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلصَّاعِدَ؟ لِيُعَيِّرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ صَاعِدٍ! فَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتُلُهُ يُغْنِيهِ ٱلْمَلِكُ غِنًى جَزِيلًا، وَيُعْطِيهِ ابِنْتَهُ، وَيَجْعَلُ بَيْتَ أَبِيهِ حُرًّا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».

26 David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”

26 فَكَلَّمَ دَاوُدُ ٱلرِّجَالَ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ مَعَهُ قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا يُفْعَلُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتُلُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ، وَيُزِيلُ ٱلْعَارَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ ٱلْأَغْلَفُ حَتَّى يُعَيِّرَ صُفُوفَ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ؟»

27 The people told him about the offer, saying, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.”

27 فَكَلَّمَهُ ٱلشَّعْبُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ قَائِلِينَ: «كَذَا يُفْعَلُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتُلُهُ».

28 Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”

28 وَسَمِعَ أَخُوهُ ٱلْأَكْبَرُ أَلِيآبُ كَلَامَهُ مَعَ ٱلرِّجَالِ، فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ أَلِيآبَ عَلَى دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا نَزَلْتَ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ تَرَكْتَ تِلْكَ ٱلْغُنَيْمَاتِ ٱلْقَلِيلَةَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ؟ أَنَا عَلِمْتُ كِبْرِيَاءَكَ وَشَرَّ قَلْبِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ إِنَّمَا نَزَلْتَ لِكَيْ تَرَى ٱلْحَرْبَ».

29 “What have I done now?” said David. “Was it not just a question?”

29 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «مَاذَا عَمِلْتُ ٱلْآنَ؟ أَمَا هُوَ كَلَامٌ؟».

30 Then he turned from him toward another and asked about the offer, and those people answered him just as the first ones had answered.

30 وَتَحَوَّلَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ نَحْوَ آخَرَ، وَتَكَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَرَدَّ لَهُ ٱلشَّعْبُ جَوَابًا كَٱلْجَوَابِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ.

31 Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who sent for him.

31 وَسُمِعَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ دَاوُدُ وَأَخْبَرُوا بِهِ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ، فَٱسْتَحْضَرَهُ.

32 And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail on account of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight him!”

32 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لَا يَسْقُطْ قَلْبُ أَحَدٍ بِسَبَبِهِ. عَبْدُكَ يَذْهَبُ وَيُحَارِبُ هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ».

33 But Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”

33 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ: «لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ لِتُحَارِبَهُ لِأَنَّكَ غُلَامٌ وَهُوَ رَجُلُ حَرْبٍ مُنْذُ صِبَاهُ».

34 David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,

34 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «كَانَ عَبْدُكَ يَرْعَى لِأَبِيهِ غَنَمًا، فَجَاءَ أَسَدٌ مَعَ دُبٍّ وَأَخَذَ شَاةً مِنَ ٱلْقَطِيعِ،

35 I went after it, struck it down, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it.

35 فَخَرَجْتُ وَرَاءَهُ وَقَتَلْتُهُ وَأَنْقَذْتُهَا مِنْ فِيهِ، وَلَمَّا قَامَ عَلَيَّ أَمْسَكْتُهُ مِنْ ذَقْنِهِ وَضَرَبْتُهُ فَقَتَلْتُهُ.

36 Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”

36 قَتَلَ عَبْدُكَ ٱلْأَسَدَ وَٱلدُّبَّ جَمِيعًا. وَهَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ ٱلْأَغْلَفُ يَكُونُ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ عَيَّرَ صُفُوفَ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ».

37 David added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”

37 وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْأَسَدِ وَمِنْ يَدِ ٱلدُّبِّ هُوَ يُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ يَدِ هَذَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ». فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِدَاوُدَ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَلْيَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكَ».

38 Then Saul clothed David in his own tunic, put a bronze helmet on his head, and dressed him in armor.

38 وَأَلْبَسَ شَاوُلُ دَاوُدَ ثِيَابَهُ، وَجَعَلَ خُوذَةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَأَلْبَسَهُ دِرْعًا.

39 David strapped his sword over the tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.

39 فَتَقَلَّدَ دَاوُدُ بِسَيْفِهِ فَوْقَ ثِيَابِهِ وَعَزَمَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ جَرَّبَ. فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِشَاوُلَ: «لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَمْشِيَ بِهَذِهِ، لِأَنِّي لَمْ أُجَرِّبْهَا». وَنَزَعَهَا دَاوُدُ عَنْهُ.

40 And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.

40 وَأَخَذَ عَصَاهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَٱنْتَخَبَ لَهُ خَمْسَةَ حِجَارَةٍ مُلْسٍ مِنَ ٱلْوَادِي وَجَعَلَهَا فِي كِنْفِ ٱلرُّعَاةِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ، أَيْ فِي ٱلْجِرَابِ، وَمِقْلَاعَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَتَقَدَّمَ نَحْوَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ.

41 Now the Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer before him.

41 وَذَهَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ ذِاهِبًا وَٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَٱلْرَّجُلُ حَامِلُ ٱلتُّرْسِ أَمَامَهُ.

42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.

42 وَلَمَّا نَظَرَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ وَرَأَى دَاوُدَ ٱسْتَحْقَرَهُ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ غُلَامًا وَأَشْقَرَ جَمِيلَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ.

43 “Am I a dog,” he said to David, “that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

43 فَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَلَعَلِّي أَنَا كَلْبٌ حَتَّى أَنَّكَ تَأْتِي إِلَيَّ بِعِصِيٍّ؟». وَلَعَنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ دَاوُدَ بِآلِهَتِهِ.

44 “Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”

44 وَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ لِدَاوُدَ: «تَعَالَ إِلَيَّ فَأُعْطِيَ لَحْمَكَ لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ».

45 But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

45 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ: «أَنْتَ تَأْتِي إِلَيَّ بِسَيْفٍ وَبِرُمْحٍ وَبِتُرْسٍ، وَأَنَا آتِي إِلَيْكَ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهِ صُفُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَيَّرْتَهُمْ.

46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand. This day I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the creatures of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.

46 هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ يَحْبِسُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي يَدِي، فَأَقْتُلُكَ وَأَقْطَعُ رَأْسَكَ. وَأُعْطِي جُثَثَ جَيْشِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَتَعْلَمُ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ إِلَهٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ.

47 And all those assembled here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”

47 وَتَعْلَمُ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ كُلُّهَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِسَيْفٍ وَلَا بِرُمْحٍ يُخَلِّصُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْحَرْبَ لِلرَّبِّ وَهُوَ يَدْفَعُكُمْ لِيَدِنَا».

48 As the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.

48 وَكَانَ لَمَّا قَامَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّ وَذَهَبَ وَتَقدَّمَ لِلِقَاءِ دَاودَ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ أَسْرَعَ وَرَكَضَ نَحْوَ ٱلصَّفِّ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ.

49 Then David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.

49 وَمَدَّ دَاوُدُ يَدَهُ إِلَى ٱلْكِنْفِ وَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ حَجَرًا وَرَمَاهُ بِٱلْمِقْلَاعِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ فِي جِبْهَتِهِ، فَٱرْتَزَّ ٱلْحَجَرُ فِي جِبْهَتِهِ، وَسَقَطَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

50 Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.

50 فَتَمَكَّنَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ بِٱلْمِقْلَاعِ وَٱلْحَجَرِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ وَقَتَلَهُ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ سَيْفٌ بِيَدِ دَاوُدَ.

51 David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its sheath and killed him, and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.

51 فَرَكَضَ دَاوُدُ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ وَأَخَذَ سَيْفَهُ وَٱخْتَرَطَهُ مِنْ غِمْدِهِ وَقَتَلَهُ وَقَطَعَ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ. فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّ جَبَّارَهُمْ قَدْ مَاتَ هَرَبُوا.

52 Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the bodies of the Philistines were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.

52 فَقَامَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا وَهَتَفُوا وَلَحِقُوا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ حَتَّى مَجِيئِكَ إِلَى ٱلْوَادِي، وَحَتَّى أَبْوَابِ عَقْرُونَ. فَسَقَطَتْ قَتْلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فِي طَرِيقِ شَعَرَايِمَ إِلَى جَتَّ وَإِلَى عَقْرُونَ.

53 When the Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines, they plundered their camps.

53 ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ ٱلِٱحْتِمَاءِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَنَهَبُوا مَحَلَّتَهُمْ.

54 David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.

54 وَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ رَأْسَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ وَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَوَضَعَ أَدَوَاتِهِ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ.

55 As Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”

55 وَلَمَّا رَأَى شَاوُلُ دَاوُدَ خَارِجًا لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ قَالَ لِأَبْنَيْرَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْجَيْشِ: «ٱبْنُ مَنْ هَذَا ٱلْغُلَامُ يَا أَبْنَيْرُ؟» فَقَالَ أَبْنَيْرُ: «وَحَيَاتِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ».

56 “Find out whose son this young man is!” said the king.

56 فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «ٱسْأَلِ ٱبْنُ مَنْ هَذَا ٱلْغُلَامُ».

57 So when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.

57 وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ قَتْلِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ أَخَذَهُ أَبْنَيْرُ وَأَحْضَرَهُ أَمَامَ شَاوُلَ وَرَأْسُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّ بِيَدِهِ.

58 “Whose son are you, young man?” asked Saul. “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David replied.

58 فَقَالَ لَهُ شَاوُلُ: «ٱبْنُ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا غُلَامُ؟» فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «ٱبْنُ عَبْدِكَ يَسَّى ٱلْبَيْتَلَحْمِيِّ».
