< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 10 >

وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ مَلِكَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ مَاتَ، وَمَلَكَ حَانُونُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ١ 1
It happened after this, that the king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «أَصْنَعُ مَعْرُوفًا مَعَ حَانُونَ بْنِ نَاحَاشَ كَمَا صَنَعَ أَبُوهُ مَعِي مَعْرُوفًا». فَأَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ بِيَدِ عَبِيدِهِ يُعَزِّيهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ. فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى أَرْضِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. ٢ 2
David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.
فَقَالَ رُؤَسَاءُ بَنِي عَمُّونَ لِحَانُونَ سَيِّدِهِمْ: «هَلْ يُكْرِمُ دَاوُدُ أَبَاكَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ حَتَّى أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْكَ مُعَزِّينَ؟ أَلَيْسَ لِأَجْلِ فَحْصِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَتَجَسُّسِهَا وَقَلْبِهَا، أَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ عَبِيدَهُ إِلَيْكَ؟» ٣ 3
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn't David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?"
فَأَخَذَ حَانُونُ عَبِيدَ دَاوُدَ وَحَلَقَ أَنْصَافَ لِحَاهُمْ، وَقَصَّ ثِيَابَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْوَسَطِ إِلَى أَسْتَاهِهِمْ، ثُمَّ أَطْلَقَهُمْ. ٤ 4
So Hanun took David's servants and shaved off their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
وَلَمَّا أَخْبَرُوا دَاوُدَ أَرْسَلَ لِلِقَائِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرِّجَالَ كَانُوا خَجِلِينَ جِدًّا. وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «أَقِيمُوا فِي أَرِيحَا حَتَّى تَنْبُتَ لِحَاكُمْ ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعُوا». ٥ 5
When David was told, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
وَلَمَّا رَأَى بَنُو عَمُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَنْتَنُوا عِنْدَ دَاوُدَ، أَرْسَلَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ وَٱسْتَأْجَرُوا أَرَامَ بَيْتِ رَحُوبَ وَأَرَامَ صُوبَا، عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَاجِلٍ، وَمِنْ مَلِكِ مَعْكَةَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ، وَرِجَالَ طُوبَ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ. ٦ 6
When the people of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob, and the Arameans of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ دَاوُدُ أَرْسَلَ يُوآبَ وَكُلَّ جَيْشِ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ. ٧ 7
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
وَخَرَجَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ وَٱصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ عْنْدَ مَدْخَلِ ٱلْبَابِ، وَكَانَ أَرَامُ صُوبَا وَرَحُوبُ وَرِجَالُ طُوبَ وَمَعْكَةَ وَحْدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. ٨ 8
The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى يُوآبُ أَنَّ مُقَدَّمَةَ ٱلْحَرْبِ كَانَتْ نَحْوَهُ مِنْ قُدَّامٍ وَمِنْ وَرَاءٍ، ٱخْتَارَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُنْتَخَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَصَفَّهُمْ لِلِقَاءِ أَرَامَ ٩ 9
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 أَخِيهِ أَبِيشَايَ، فَصَفَّهُمْ لِلِقَاءِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. ١٠ 10
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the people of Ammon.
وَقَالَ: «إِنْ قَوِيَ أَرَامُ عَلَيَّ تَكُونُ لِي مُنْجِدًا، وَإِنْ قَوِيَ عَلَيْكَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ أَذْهَبُ لِنَجْدَتِكَ. ١١ 11
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
تَجَلَّدْ وَلْنَتَشَدَّدْ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِنَا وَمِنْ أَجْلِ مُدُنِ إِلَهِنَا، وَٱلرَّبُّ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ». ١٢ 12
Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and YHWH do that which seems good to him."
فَتَقَدَّمَ يُوآبُ وَٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ لِمُحَارَبَةِ أَرَامَ فَهَرَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِهِ. ١٣ 13
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans: and they fled before him.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى بَنُو عَمُّونَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ هَرَبَ أَرَامُ، هَرَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِ أَبِيشَايَ وَدَخَلُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. فَرَجَعَ يُوآبُ عَنْ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَأَتَى إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٤ 14
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَرَامُ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِ ٱنْكَسَرُوا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱجْتَمَعُوا مَعًا. ١٥ 15
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by the children of Israel, they gathered themselves together.
وَأَرْسَلَ هَدَرُ عَزَرَ فَأَبْرَزَ أَرَامَ ٱلَّذِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، فَأَتَوْا إِلَى حِيلَامَ وَأَمَامَهُمْ شُوبَكُ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِ هَدَرِ عَزَرَ. ١٦ 16
Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
وَلَمَّا أُخْبِرَ دَاوُدُ، جَمَعَ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَبَرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ وَجَاءَ إِلَى حِيلَامَ، فَٱصْطَفَّ أَرَامُ لِلِقَاءِ دَاوُدَ وَحَارَبُوهُ. ١٧ 17
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Arameans set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
وَهَرَبَ أَرَامُ مِنْ أَمَامِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقَتَلَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ أَرَامَ سَبْعَ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ، وَضَرَبَ شُوبَكَ رَئِيسَ جَيْشِهِ فَمَاتَ هُنَاكَ. ١٨ 18
The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand foot soldiers, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى جَمِيعُ ٱلْمُلُوكِ، عَبِيدُ هَدَرِ عَزَرَ أَنَّهُمُ ٱنْكَسَرُوا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، صَالَحُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱسْتُعْبِدُوا لَهُمْ، وَخَافَ أَرَامُ أَنْ يُنْجِدُوا بَنِي عَمُّونَ بَعْدُ. ١٩ 19
When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Arameans feared to help the people of Ammon any more.
