وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ نَاحَاشَ مَلِكَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ مَاتَ، فَمَلَكَ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ١ 1
And it happened after this, that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned in his place.
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «أَصْنَعُ مَعْرُوفًا مَعَ حَانُونَ بْنِ نَاحَاشَ، لِأَنَّ أَبَاهُ صَنَعَ مَعِي مَعْرُوفًا». فَأَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ رُسُلًا لِيُعَزِّيَهُ بِأَبِيهِ. فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى أَرْضِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ إِلَى حَانُونَ لِيُعَزُّوهُ. ٢ 2
David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
فَقَالَ رُؤَسَاءُ بَنِي عَمُّونَ لِحَانُونَ: «هَلْ يُكْرِمُ دَاوُدُ أَبَاكَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ حَتَّى أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْكَ مُعَزِّينَ؟ أَلَيْسَ إِنَّمَا لِأَجْلِ ٱلْفَحْصِ وَٱلْقَلْبِ وَتَجَسُّسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ جَاءَ عَبِيدُهُ إِلَيْكَ؟» ٣ 3
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven't his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?"
فَأَخَذَ حَانُونُ عَبِيدَ دَاوُدَ وَحَلَقَ لِحَاهُمْ وَقَصَّ ثِيَابَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْوَسَطِ عِنْدَ ٱلسَّوْءَةِ ثُمَّ أَطْلَقَهُمْ. ٤ 4
So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
فَذَهَبَ أُنَاسٌ وَأَخْبَرُوا دَاوُدَ عَنِ ٱلرِّجَالِ. فَأَرْسَلَ لِلِقَائِهِمْ لِأَنَّ ٱلرِّجَالَ كَانُوا خَجِلِينَ جِدًّا. وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «أَقِيمُوا فِي أَرِيحَا حَتَّى تَنْبُتَ لِحَاكُمْ ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعُوا». ٥ 5
Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
وَلَمَّا رَأَى بَنُو عَمُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَنْتَنُوا عِنْدَ دَاوُدَ، أَرْسَلَ حَانُونُ وَبَنُو عَمُّونَ أَلْفَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ لِكَيْ يَسْتَأْجِرُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ أَرَامِ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ وَمِنْ أَرَامِ مَعْكَةَ وَمِنْ صُوبَةَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَفُرْسَانًا. ٦ 6
When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram Maacah, and out of Zobah.
فَٱسْتَأْجَرُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ مَرْكَبَةٍ، وَمَلِكَ مَعْكَةَ وَشَعْبَهُ. فَجَاءُوا وَنَزَلُوا مُقَابِلَ مَيْدَبَا. وَٱجْتَمَعَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ مِنْ مُدُنِهِمْ وَأَتَوْا لِلْحَرْبِ. ٧ 7
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. The people of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ دَاوُدُ أَرْسَلَ يُوآبَ وَكُلَّ جَيْشِ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ. ٨ 8
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
فَخَرَجَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ وَٱصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ عِنْدَ بَابِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلْمُلُوكُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا كَانُوا وَحْدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. ٩ 9
The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى يُوآبُ أَنَّ مُقَدِّمَةَ ٱلْحَرْبِ كَانَتْ نَحْوَهُ مِنْ قُدَّامٍ وَمِنْ وَرَاءٍ، ٱخْتَارَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُنْتَخَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَصَفَّهُمْ لِلِقَاءِ أَرَامَ. ١٠ 10
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.
وَسَلَّمَ بَقِيَّةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِيَدِ أَبْشَايَ أَخِيهِ، فَٱصْطَفُّوا لِلِقَاءِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. ١١ 11
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the people of Ammon.
وَقَالَ: «إِنْ قَوِيَ أَرَامُ عَلَيَّ تَكُونُ لِي نَجْدَةً، وَإِنْ قَوِيَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْجَدْتُكَ. ١٢ 12
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
تَجَلَّدْ، وَلْنَتَشَدَّدْ لِأَجْلِ شَعْبِنَا وَلِأَجْلِ مُدُنِ إِلَهِنَا، وَمَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَفْعَلُ». ١٣ 13
Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him."
وَتَقَدَّمَ يُوآبُ وَٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ نَحْوَ أَرَامَ لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ، فَهَرَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِهِ. ١٤ 14
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Arameans to the battle; and they fled before him.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى بَنُو عَمُّونَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ هَرَبَ أَرَامُ هَرَبُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَمَامِ أَبْشَايَ أَخِيهِ وَدَخَلُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. وَجَاءَ يُوآبُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٥ 15
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَرَامُ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِ ٱنْكَسَرُوا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْسَلُوا رُسُلًا، وَأَبْرَزُوا أَرَامَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، وَأَمَامَهُمْ شُوبَكُ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِ هَدَرَ عَزَرَ. ١٦ 16
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
وَلَمَّا أُخْبِرَ دَاوُدُ جَمَعَ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَبَرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَٱصْطَفَّ ضِدَّهُمْ. اِصْطَفَّ دَاوُدُ لِلِقَاءِ أَرَامَ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ فَحَارَبُوهُ. ١٧ 17
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, they fought with him.
وَهَرَبَ أَرَامُ مِنْ أَمَامِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقَتَلَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ أَرَامَ سَبْعَةَ آلَافِ مَرْكَبَةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ رَاجِلٍ، وَقَتَلَ شُوبَكَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْجَيْشِ. ١٨ 18
The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shobach the captain of the army.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى عَبِيدُ هَدَرَ عَزَرَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِ ٱنْكَسَرُوا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ صَالَحُوا دَاوُدَ وَخَدَمُوهُ. وَلَمْ يَشَأْ أَرَامُ أَنْ يُنْجِدُوا بَنِي عَمُّونَ بَعْدُ. ١٩ 19
When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Arameans help the people of Ammon any more.
