١ أخبار 21
| وَوَقَفَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ ضِدَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَغْوَى دَاوُدَ لِيُحْصِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ 1 |
And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِيُوآبَ وَلِرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «ٱذْهَبُوا عِدُّوا إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ إِلَى دَانَ، وَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ فَأَعْلَمَ عَدَدَهُمْ». | ٢ 2 |
And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
| فَقَالَ يُوآبُ: «لِيَزِدِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ أَمْثَالَهُمْ مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ. أَلَيْسُوا جَمِيعًا يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ عَبِيدًا لِسَيِّدِي؟ لِمَاذَا يَطْلُبُ هَذَا سَيِّدِي؟ لِمَاذَا يَكُونُ سَبَبَ إِثْمٍ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ؟» | ٣ 3 |
And Joab said, Jehovah add to his people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold: are they not all, my lord O king, my lord's servants? why does my lord require this thing? why should he become a trespass to Israel?
| فَٱشْتَدَّ كَلَامُ ٱلْمَلِكِ عَلَى يُوآبَ. فَخَرَجَ يُوآبُ وَطَافَ فِي كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٤ 4 |
But the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] to Jerusalem.
| فَدَفَعَ يُوآبُ جُمْلَةَ عَدَدِ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ، فَكَانَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَلْفَ أَلْفٍ وَمِئَةَ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ مُسْتَلِّي ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَيَهُوذَا أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ مُسْتَلِّي ٱلسَّيْفِ، | ٥ 5 |
And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were eleven hundred thousand men that drew sword; and of Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
| وَأَمَّا لَاوِي وَبَنْيَامِينُ فَلَمْ يَعُدَّهُمْ مَعَهُمْ لِأَنَّ كَلَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ كَانَ مَكْرُوهًا لَدَى يُوآبَ. | ٦ 6 |
But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
| وَقَبُحَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱللهِ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ فَضَرَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ 7 |
And God was displeased on account of this thing, and he smote Israel.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلهِ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ جِدًّا حَيْثُ عَمِلْتُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ. وَٱلْآنَ أَزِلْ إِثْمَ عَبْدِكَ لِأَنِّي سَفِهْتُ جِدًّا». | ٨ 8 |
And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; and now, I beseech thee, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
| فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ جَادَ رَائِيَ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: | ٩ 9 |
And Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
| «ٱذْهَبْ وَكَلِّمْ دَاوُدَ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ثَلَاثَةً أَنَا عَارِضٌ عَلَيْكَ فَٱخْتَرْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَاحِدًا مِنْهَا فَأَفْعَلَهُ بِكَ». | ١٠ 10 |
Go and speak to David saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I offer thee three [things]; choose one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
| فَجَاءَ جَادُ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱقْبَلْ لِنَفْسِكَ: | ١١ 11 |
And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah:
| إِمَّا ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ جُوعٌ، أَوْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ هَلَاكٌ أَمَامَ مُضَايِقِيكَ وَسَيْفُ أَعْدَائِكَ يُدْرِكُكَ، أَوْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَكُونُ فِيهَا سَيْفُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَوَبَأٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَعْثُو فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَٱنْظُرِ ٱلْآنَ مَاذَا أَرُدُّ جَوَابًا لِمُرْسِلِي». | ١٢ 12 |
Choose thee, either three years of famine, or three months to be destroyed before thine adversaries while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, or three days the sword of Jehovah and the pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying through all the borders of Israel. And now consider what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِجَادٍ: «قَدْ ضَاقَ بِيَ ٱلْأَمْرُ جِدًّا. دَعْنِي أَسْقُطْ فِي يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَلَا أَسْقُطُ فِي يَدِ إِنْسَانٍ». | ١٣ 13 |
And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for his mercies are very great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.
| فَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَبَأً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَسَقَطَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
| وَأَرْسَلَ ٱللهُ مَلَاكًا عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِإِهْلَاكِهَا، وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُهْلِكُ رَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ فَنَدِمَ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِّ، وَقَالَ لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلْمُهْلِكِ: «كَفَى ٱلْآنَ، رُدَّ يَدَكَ». وَكَانَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفًا عِنْدَ بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ. | ١٥ 15 |
And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; and as he was destroying, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough; withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
| وَرَفَعَ دَاوُدُ عَيْنَيْهِ فَرَأَى مَلَاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَسَيْفُهُ مَسْلُولٌ بِيَدِهِ وَمَمْدُودٌ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. فَسَقَطَ دَاوُدُ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ مُكْتَسِينَ بِٱلْمُسُوحِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah stand between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلهِ: «أَلَسْتُ أَنَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَ بِإِحْصَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ وَأَنَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْطَأَ وَأَسَاءَ، وَأَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْخِرَافُ فَمَاذَا عَمِلُوا؟ فَأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي لِتَكُنْ يَدُكَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي لَا عَلَى شَعْبِكَ لِضَرْبِهِمْ». | ١٧ 17 |
And David said to God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned and done evil; but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, Jehovah my God, be on me and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be smitten.
| فَكَلَّمَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ جَادَ أَنْ يَقُولَ لِدَاوُدَ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ دَاوُدُ لِيُقِيمَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ فِي بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ. | ١٨ 18 |
And the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up and rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
| فَصَعِدَ دَاوُدُ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ جَادَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٩ 19 |
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of Jehovah.
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ أُرْنَانُ فَرَأَى ٱلْمَلَاكَ. وَبَنُوهُ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ مَعَهُ ٱخْتَبَأُوا، وَكَانَ أُرْنَانُ يَدْرُسُ حِنْطَةً. | ٢٠ 20 |
And Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
| وَجَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى أُرْنَانَ. وَتَطَلَّعَ أُرْنَانُ فَرَأَى دَاوُدَ، وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْدَرِ وَسَجَدَ لِدَاوُدَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with [his] face to the ground.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأُرْنَانَ: «أَعْطِنِي مَكَانَ ٱلْبَيْدَرِ فَأَبْنِيَ فِيهِ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. بِفِضَّةٍ كَامِلَةٍ أَعْطِنِي إِيَّاهُ، فَتَكُفَّ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ عَنِ ٱلشَّعْبِ». | ٢٢ 22 |
And David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build an altar in it to Jehovah: grant it to me for the full money, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
| فَقَالَ أُرْنَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «خُذْهُ لِنَفْسِكَ، وَلْيَفْعَلْ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُ ٱلْبَقَرَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ، وَٱلنَّوَارِجَ لِلْوَقُودِ، وَٱلْحِنْطَةَ لِلتَّقْدِمَةِ. ٱلْجَمِيعَ أَعْطَيْتُ». | ٢٣ 23 |
And Ornan said to David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his sight: see, I give the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges for wood, and the wheat for the oblation; I give it all.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ لِأُرْنَانَ: «لَا! بَلْ شِرَاءً أَشْتَرِيهِ بِفِضَّةٍ كَامِلَةٍ، لِأَنِّي لَا آخُذُ مَا لَكَ لِلرَّبِّ فَأُصْعِدَ مُحْرَقَةً مَجَّانِيَّةً». | ٢٤ 24 |
And king David said to Ornan, No; but I will in any case buy [them] for the full money; for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, to offer up a burnt-offering without cost.
| وَدَفَعَ دَاوُدُ لِأُرْنَانَ عَنِ ٱلْمَكَانِ ذَهَبًا وَزْنُهُ سِتُّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And David gave to Ornan for the place in shekels of gold the weight of six hundred [shekels].
| وَبَنَى دَاوُدُ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ، وَأَصْعَدَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ، وَدَعَا ٱلرَّبَّ فَأَجَابَهُ بِنَارٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from the heavens by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
| وَأَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَلَاكَ فَرَدَّ سَيْفَهُ إِلَى غِمْدِهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And Jehovah spoke to the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
| فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ لَمَّا رَأَى دَاوُدُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَجَابَهُ فِي بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ ذَبَحَ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
At that time when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
| وَمَسْكَنُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ مُوسَى فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَمَذْبَحُ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ كَانَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ فِي ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةِ فِي جِبْعُونَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
| وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ دَاوُدُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى أَمَامِهِ لِيَسْأَلَ ٱللهَ لِأَنَّهُ خَافَ مِنْ جِهَةِ سَيْفِ مَلَاكِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣٠ 30 |
But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.
