صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 15
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَبْشَالُومَ ٱتَّخَذَ مَرْكَبَةً وَخَيْلًا وَخَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا يَجْرُونَ قُدَّامَهُ. | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
| وَكَانَ أَبْشَالُومُ يُبَكِّرُ وَيَقِفُ بِجَانِبِ طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَابِ، وَكُلُّ صَاحِبِ دَعْوَى آتٍ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْحُكْمِ، كَانَ أَبْشَالُومُ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: «مِنْ أَيَّةِ مَدِينَةٍ أَنْتَ؟». فَيَقُولُ: «مِنْ أَحَدِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَبْدُكَ». | ٢ 2 |
And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, Of what city are you? And he said, Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
| فَيَقُولُ أَبْشَالُومُ لَهُ: «ٱنْظُرْ. أُمُورُكَ صَالِحَةٌ وَمُسْتَقِيمَةٌ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ لَكَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلْمَلِكِ». | ٣ 3 |
And Absalom said to him, See, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear you.
| ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبْشَالُومُ: «مَنْ يَجْعَلُنِي قَاضِيًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ لَهُ خُصُومَةٌ وَدَعْوَى فَأُنْصِفَهُ؟». | ٤ 4 |
Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!
| وَكَانَ إِذَا تَقَدَّمَ أَحَدٌ لِيَسْجُدَ لَهُ، يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ وَيُمْسِكُهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ. | ٥ 5 |
And it was so, that when any man came near to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
| وَكَانَ أَبْشَالُومُ يَفْعَلُ مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ لِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَأْتُونَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْحُكْمِ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَٱسْتَرَقَّ أَبْشَالُومُ قُلُوبَ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٦ 6 |
And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
| وَفِي نِهَايَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ أَبْشَالُومُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «دَعْنِي فَأَذْهَبَ وَأُوفِيَ نَذْرِي ٱلَّذِي نَذَرْتُهُ لِلرَّبِّ فِي حَبْرُونَ، | ٧ 7 |
And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray you, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.
| لِأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ نَذَرَ نَذْرًا عِنْدَ سُكْنَايَ فِي جَشُورَ فِي أَرَامَ قَائِلًا: إِنْ أَرْجَعَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فَإِنِّي أَعْبُدُ ٱلرَّبَّ». | ٨ 8 |
For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «ٱذْهَبْ بِسَلَامٍ». فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ. | ٩ 9 |
And the king said to him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
| وَأَرْسَلَ أَبْشَالُومُ جَوَاسِيسَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ، فَقُولُوا: قَدْ مَلَكَ أَبْشَالُومُ فِي حَبْرُونَ». | ١٠ 10 |
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, Absalom reigns in Hebron.
| وَٱنْطَلَقَ مَعَ أَبْشَالُومَ مِئَتَا رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَدْ دُعُوا وَذَهَبُوا بِبَسَاطَةٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَعْلَمُونَ شَيْئًا. | ١١ 11 |
And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
| وَأَرْسَلَ أَبْشَالُومُ إِلَى أَخِيتُوفَلَ ٱلْجِيلُونِيِّ مُشِيرِ دَاوُدَ مِنْ مَدِينَتِهِ جِيلُوهَ إِذْ كَانَ يَذْبَحُ ذَبَائِحَ. وَكَانَتِ ٱلْفِتْنَةُ شَدِيدَةً وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَزَالُ يَتَزَايَدُ مَعَ أَبْشَالُومَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
| فَأَتَى مُخَبِّرٌ إِلَى دَاوُدَ قَائِلًا: «إِنَّ قُلُوبَ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ صَارَتْ وَرَاءَ أَبْشَالُومَ». | ١٣ 13 |
And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِجَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ: «قُومُوا بِنَا نَهْرُبُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَنَا نَجَاةٌ مِنْ وَجْهِ أَبْشَالُومَ. أَسْرِعُوا لِلذَّهَابِ لِئَلَّا يُبَادِرَ وَيُدْرِكَنَا وَيُنْزِلَ بِنَا ٱلشَّرَّ وَيَضْرِبَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ». | ١٤ 14 |
And David said to all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil on us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
| فَقَالَ عَبِيدُ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِلْمَلِكِ: «حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يَخْتَارُهُ سَيِّدُنَا ٱلْمَلِكُ نَحْنُ عَبِيدُهُ». | ١٥ 15 |
And the king’s servants said to the king, Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king shall appoint.
| فَخَرَجَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجَمِيعُ بَيْتِهِ وَرَاءَهُ. وَتَرَكَ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَشَرَ نِسَاءٍ سَرَارِيَّ لِحِفْظِ ٱلْبَيْتِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
| وَخَرَجَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي أَثَرِهِ وَوَقَفُوا عِنْدَ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَبْعَدِ. | ١٧ 17 |
And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
| وَجَمِيعُ عَبِيدِهِ كَانُوا يَعْبُرُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْجَلَّادِينَ وَٱلسُّعَاةِ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْجَتِّيِّينَ، سِتُّ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ أَتَوْا وَرَاءَهُ مِنْ جَتَّ، وَكَانُوا يَعْبُرُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِإِتَّايَ ٱلْجَتِّيِّ: «لِمَاذَا تَذْهَبُ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا مَعَنَا؟ اِرْجِعْ وَأَقِمْ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ وَمَنْفِيٌّ أَيْضًا مِنْ وَطَنِكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Why go you also with us? return to your place, and abide with the king: for you are a stranger, and also an exile.
| أَمْسًا جِئْتَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ أُتِيهُكَ بِٱلذَّهَابِ مَعَنَا وَأَنَا أَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى حَيْثُ أَنْطَلِقُ؟ اِرْجِعْ وَرَجِّعْ إِخْوَتَكَ. ٱلرَّحْمَةُ وَٱلْحَقُّ مَعَكَ». | ٢٠ 20 |
Whereas you came but yesterday, should I this day make you go up and down with us? seeing I go where I may, return you, and take back your brothers: mercy and truth be with you.
| فَأَجَابَ إِتَّايُ ٱلْمَلِكَ وَقَالَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَحَيٌّ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ، إِنَّهُ حَيْثُمَا كَانَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ، إِنْ كَانَ لِلْمَوْتِ أَوْ لِلْحَيَاةِ، فَهُنَاكَ يَكُونُ عَبْدُكَ أَيْضًا». | ٢١ 21 |
And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will your servant be.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِإِتَّايَ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَٱعْبُرْ». فَعَبَرَ إِتَّايُ ٱلْجَتِّيُّ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِهِ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
| وَكَانَتْ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَبْكِي بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَعْبُرُونَ. وَعَبَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ، وَعَبَرَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
| وَإِذَا بِصَادُوقَ أَيْضًا وَجَمِيعُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مَعَهُ يَحْمِلُونَ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ ٱللهِ. فَوَضَعُوا تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ، وَصَعِدَ أَبِيَاثَارُ حَتَّى ٱنْتَهَى جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنَ ٱلْعُبُورِ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And see Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِصَادُوقَ: «أَرْجِعْ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ فَإِنَّهُ يُرْجِعُنِي وَيُرِينِي إِيَّاهُ وَمَسْكَنَهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And the king said to Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation:
| وَإِنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا: إِنِّي لَمْ أُسَرَّ بِكَ. فَهَأَنَذَا، فَلْيَفْعَلْ بِي حَسَبَمَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
But if he thus say, I have no delight in you; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seems good to him.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِصَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ: «أَأَنْتَ رَاءٍ؟ فَٱرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ بِسَلَامٍ أَنْتَ وَأَخِيمَعَصُ ٱبْنُكَ وَيُونَاثَانُ بْنُ أَبِيَاثَارَ. ٱبْنَاكُمَا كِلَاهُمَا مَعَكُمَا. | ٢٧ 27 |
The king said also to Zadok the priest, Are not you a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
| ٱنْظُرُوا. أَنِّي أَتَوَانَى فِي سُهُولِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ كَلِمَةٌ مِنْكُمْ لِتَخْبِيرِي». | ٢٨ 28 |
See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
| فَأَرْجَعَ صَادُوقُ وَأَبِيَاثَارُ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَقَامَا هُنَاكَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
| وَأَمَّا دَاوُدُ فَصَعِدَ فِي مِصْعَدِ جَبَلِ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ. كَانَ يَصْعَدُ بَاكِيًا وَرَأْسُهُ مُغَطَّى وَيَمْشِي حَافِيًا، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ غَطَّوْا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ رَأْسَهُ، وَكَانُوا يَصْعَدُونَ وَهُمْ يَبْكُونَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
| وَأُخْبِرَ دَاوُدُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ أَخِيتُوفَلَ بَيْنَ ٱلْفَاتِنِينَ مَعَ أَبْشَالُومَ» فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «حَمِّقْ يَارَبُّ مَشُورَةَ أَخِيتُوفَلَ». | ٣١ 31 |
And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray you, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
| وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى ٱلْقِمَّةِ حَيْثُ سَجَدَ لِلهِ، إِذَا بِحُوشَايَ ٱلْأَرْكِيِّ قَدْ لَقِيَهُ مُمَزَّقَ ٱلثَّوْبِ وَٱلتُّرَابُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth on his head:
| فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ: «إِذَا عَبَرْتَ مَعِي تَكُونُ عَلَيَّ حِمْلًا. | ٣٣ 33 |
To whom David said, If you pass on with me, then you shall be a burden to me:
| وَلَكِنْ إِذَا رَجَعْتَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَقُلْتَ لِأَبْشَالُومَ: أَنَا أَكُونُ عَبْدَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ. أَنَا عَبْدُ أَبِيكَ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ وَٱلْآنَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ. فَإِنَّكَ تُبْطِلُ لِي مَشُورَةَ أَخِيتُوفَلَ. | ٣٤ 34 |
But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father’s servant till now, so will I now also be your servant: then may you for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
| أَلَيْسَ مَعَكَ هُنَاكَ صَادُوقُ وَأَبِيَاثَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنَانِ. فَكُلُّ مَا تَسْمَعُهُ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَأَخْبِرْ بِهِ صَادُوقَ وَأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَيْنِ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And have you not there with you Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever you shall hear out of the king’s house, you shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
| هُوَذَا هُنَاكَ مَعَهُمَا ٱبْنَاهُمَا أَخِيمَعَصُ لِصَادُوقَ وَيُونَاثَانُ لِأَبِيَاثَارَ. فَتُرْسِلُونَ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمَا إِلَيَّ كُلَّ كَلِمَةٍ تَسْمَعُونَهَا». | ٣٦ 36 |
Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok’s son, and Jonathan Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send to me every thing that you can hear.
| فَأَتَى حُوشَايُ صَاحِبُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَبْشَالُومُ يَدْخُلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٣٧ 37 |
So Hushai David’s friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
