١ أخبار 14

١ 1 وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ رُسُلًا إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَخَشَبَ أَرْزٍ وَبَنَّائِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ لِيَبْنُوا لَهُ بَيْتًا.

And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build for him a house.

٢ 2 وَعَلِمَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَثْبَتَهُ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ مَمْلَكَتَهُ ٱرْتَفَعَتْ مُتَصَاعِدَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted on high for his people Israel's sake.

٣ 3 وَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ نِسَاءً أَيْضًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَوَلَدَ أَيْضًا دَاوُدُ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ.

And David took more wives at Jerusalem, and David begot more sons and daughters.

٤ 4 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ: شَمُّوعُ وَشُوبَابُ وَنَاثَانُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ

And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

٧ 7 وَأَلِيشَمَعُ وَبَعَلْيَادَاعُ وَأَلِيفَلَطُ.

and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

٨ 8 وَسَمِعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدْ مُسِحَ مَلِكًا عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَصَعِدَ كُلُّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لِيُفَتِّشُوا عَلَى دَاوُدَ. وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ دَاوُدُ خَرَجَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ.

And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them.

٩ 9 فَجَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَٱنْتَشَرُوا فِي وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ.

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

١٠ 10 فَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱللهِ قَائِلًا: «أَأَصْعَدُ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَتَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِي؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱصْعَدْ فَأَدْفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِكَ».

And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up, for I will deliver them into thy hand.

١١ 11 فَصَعِدُوا إِلَى بَعْلِ فَرَاصِيمَ وَضَرَبَهُمْ دَاوُدُ هُنَاكَ. وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «قَدِ ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱللهُ أَعْدَائِي بِيَدِي كَٱقْتِحَامِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ». لِذَلِكَ دَعَوْا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «بَعْلَ فَرَاصِيمَ».

So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there. And David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

١٢ 12 وَتَرَكُوا هُنَاكَ آلِهَتَهُمْ، فَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ فَأُحْرِقَتْ بِٱلنَّارِ.

And they left their gods there. And David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ عَادَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَيْضًا وَٱنْتَشَرُوا فِي ٱلْوَادِي.

And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

١٤ 14 فَسَأَلَ أَيْضًا دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱللهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱللهُ: «لَا تَصْعَدْ وَرَاءَهُمْ، تَحَوَّلْ عَنْهُمْ وَهَلُمَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مُقَابِلَ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُكَا.

And David inquired again of God. And God said to him, Thou shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry trees.

١٥ 15 وَعِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ خَطَوَاتٍ فِي رُؤُوسِ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُكَا فَٱخْرُجْ حِينَئِذٍ لِلْحَرْبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ يَخْرُجُ أَمَامَكَ لِضَرْبِ مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ».

And it shall be, when thou hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shall go out to battle. For God has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

١٦ 16 فَفَعَلَ دَاوُدُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱللهُ، وَضَرَبُوا مَحَلَّةَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ جِبْعُونَ إِلَى جَازِرَ.

And David did as God commanded him, and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

١٧ 17 وَخَرَجَ ٱسْمُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَيْبَتَهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

And the fame of David went out into all lands. And Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all nations.
