< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 16 >

وَلَمَّا عَبَرَ دَاوُدُ قَلِيلًا عَنِ ٱلْقِمَّةِ، إِذَا بِصِيبَا غُلَامِ مَفِيبُوشَثَ قَدْ لَقِيَهُ بِحِمَارَيْنِ مَشْدُودَيْنِ، عَلَيْهِمَا مِئَتَا رَغِيفِ خُبْزٍ وَمِئَةُ عُنْقُودِ زَبِيبٍ وَمِئَةُ قُرْصِ تِينٍ وَزِقُّ خَمْرٍ. ١ 1
And when David had gone a little way past the top of the slope, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, came to him, with two asses on which were two hundred cakes of bread and a hundred stems of dry grapes and a hundred summer fruits and a skin of wine.
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِصِيبَا: «مَا لَكَ وَهَذِهِ؟» فَقَالَ صِيبَا: «ٱلْحِمَارَانِ لِبَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِلرُّكُوبِ، وَٱلْخُبْزُ وَٱلتِّينُ لِلْغِلْمَانِ لِيَأْكُلُوا، وَٱلْخَمْرُ لِيَشْرَبَهُ مَنْ أَعْيَا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ». ٢ 2
And David said to Ziba, What is your reason for this? And Ziba said, The asses are for the use of the king's people, and the bread and the fruit are food for the young men; and the wine is for drink for those who are overcome by weariness in the waste land.
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «وَأَيْنَ ٱبْنُ سَيِّدِكَ؟» فَقَالَ صِيبَا لِلْمَلِكِ: «هُوَذَا هُوَ مُقِيمٌ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: ٱلْيَوْمَ يَرُدُّ لِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَمْلَكَةَ أَبِي». ٣ 3
And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said, He is still at Jerusalem: for he said, Today Israel will give back to me the kingdom of my father.
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِصِيبَا: «هُوَذَا لَكَ كُلُّ مَا لِمَفِيبُوشَثَ». فَقَالَ صِيبَا: «سَجَدْتُ! لَيْتَنِي أَجِدُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ». ٤ 4
Then the king said to Ziba, Truly everything which was Mephibosheth's is yours. And Ziba said, I give honour to my lord, may I have grace in your eyes, my lord, O king!
وَلَمَّا جَاءَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَحُورِيمَ إِذَا بِرَجُلٍ خَارِجٍ مِنْ هُنَاكَ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ بَيْتِ شَاوُلَ، ٱسْمُهُ شِمْعِي بْنُ جِيرَا، يَسُبُّ وَهُوَ يَخْرُجُ، ٥ 5
And when King David came to Bahurim, a man of Saul's family named Shimei, the son of Gera, came out from there, calling curses after him.
وَيَرْشُقُ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ دَاوُدَ وَجَمِيعَ عَبِيدِ ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ. ٦ 6
And he sent stones at David and at all the king's servants and at all the people and at all the men of war by his side, on the right hand and on the left.
وَهَكَذَا كَانَ شِمْعِي يَقُولُ فِي سَبِّهِ: «ٱخْرُجِ! ٱخْرُجْ يَا رَجُلَ ٱلدِّمَاءِ وَرَجُلَ بَلِيَّعَالَ! ٧ 7
And Shimei said, with curses, Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, you good-for-nothing:
قَدْ رَدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكَ كُلَّ دِمَاءِ بَيْتِ شَاوُلَ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكْتَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ، وَقَدْ دَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ لِيَدِ أَبْشَالُومَ ٱبْنِكَ، وَهَا أَنْتَ وَاقِعٌ بِشَرِّكَ لِأَنَّكَ رَجُلُ دِمَاءٍ». ٨ 8
The Lord has sent punishment on you for all the blood of the family of Saul, whose kingdom you have taken; and the Lord has given the kingdom to Absalom, your son: now you yourself are taken in your evil, because you are a man of blood.
فَقَالَ أَبِيشَايُ ٱبْنُ صَرُويَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «لِمَاذَا يَسُبُّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلْبُ ٱلْمَيْتُ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ؟ دَعْنِي أَعْبُرُ فَأَقْطَعَ رَأْسَهُ». ٩ 9
Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king, Is this dead dog to go on cursing my lord the king? let me go over and take off his head.
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَا لِي وَلَكُمْ يَابَنِي صَرُويَةَ! دَعُوهُ يَسُبَّ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَالَ لَهُ: سُبَّ دَاوُدَ. وَمَنْ يَقُولُ: لِمَاذَا تَفْعَلُ هَكَذَا؟» ١٠ 10
And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Let him go on cursing, for the Lord has said, Put a curse on David, and who then may say, Why have you done so?
وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَبِيشَايَ وَلِجَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ: «هُوَذَا ٱبْنِي ٱلَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْ أَحْشَائِي يَطْلُبُ نَفْسِي، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ ٱلْآنَ بَنْيَامِينِيٌّ؟ دَعُوهُ يَسُبَّ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَالَ لَهُ. ١١ 11
And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, You see how my son, the offspring of my body, has made designs against my life: how much more then may this Benjamite do so? Let him be, and let him go on cursing; for the Lord has given him orders.
لَعَلَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي وَيُكَافِئُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ خَيْرًا عِوَضَ مَسَبَّتِهِ بِهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ». ١٢ 12
It may be that the Lord will take note of my wrongs, and give me back good in answer to his cursing of me today.
وَإِذْ كَانَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ يَسِيرُونَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، كَانَ شِمْعِي يَسِيرُ فِي جَانِبِ ٱلْجَبَلِ مُقَابِلَهُ وَيَسُبُّ وَهُوَ سَائِرٌ وَيَرْشُقُ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ مُقَابِلَهُ وَيَذْرِي ٱلتُّرَابَ. ١٣ 13
So David and his men went on their way: and Shimei went by the hillside parallel with them, cursing and sending stones and dust at him.
وَجَاءَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَقَدْ أَعْيَوْا فَٱسْتَرَاحُوا هُنَاكَ. ١٤ 14
And the king and his people came tired to Jordan, and took their rest there.
وَأَمَّا أَبْشَالُومُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَتَوْا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَخِيتُوفَلُ مَعَهُمْ. ١٥ 15
And Absalom and the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
وَلَمَّا جَاءَ حُوشَايُ ٱلْأَرْكِيُّ صَاحِبُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى أَبْشَالُومَ، قَالَ حُوشَايُ لِأَبْشَالُومَ: «لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ! لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ!» ١٦ 16
Then Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom and said, Long life to the king, long life to the king!
فَقَالَ أَبْشَالُومُ لِحُوشَايَ: «أَهَذَا مَعْرُوفُكَ مَعَ صَاحِبِكَ؟ لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَذْهَبْ مَعَ صَاحِبِكَ؟» ١٧ 17
And Absalom said, Is this your love for your friend? why did you not go with your friend?
فَقَالَ حُوشَايُ لِأَبْشَالُومَ: «كَلَّا، وَلَكِنِ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ وَكُلُّ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَهُ أَكُونُ وَمَعَهُ أُقِيمُ. ١٨ 18
And Hushai said to Absalom, Not so; I am for that man whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have taken as king, and I will take my place with him.
وَثَانِيًا: مَنْ أَخْدِمُ؟ أَلَيْسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ ٱبْنِهِ؟ كَمَا خَدَمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَبِيكَ كَذَلِكَ أَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ». ١٩ 19
And more than this! where is my place as a servant? is it not before his son? as I have been your father's servant, so will I be yours.
وَقَالَ أَبْشَالُومُ لِأَخِيتُوفَلَ: «أَعْطُوا مَشُورَةً، مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ؟». ٢٠ 20
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your opinion now, what are we to do?
فَقَالَ أَخِيتُوفَلُ لِأَبْشَالُومَ: «ٱدْخُلْ إِلَى سَرَارِيِّ أَبِيكَ ٱللَّوَاتِي تَرَكَهُنَّ لِحِفْظِ ٱلْبَيْتِ، فَيَسْمَعَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّكَ قَدْ صِرْتَ مَكْرُوهًا مِنْ أَبِيكَ، فَتَتَشَدَّدَ أَيْدِي جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَ». ٢١ 21
And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's women who are here looking after his house; then all Israel will have the news that you are hated by your father, and the hands of your supporters will be strong.
فَنَصَبُوا لِأَبْشَالُومَ ٱلْخَيْمَةَ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ، وَدَخَلَ أَبْشَالُومُ إِلَى سَرَارِيِّ أَبِيهِ أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٢ 22
So they put up the tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's women before the eyes of all Israel.
وَكَانَتْ مَشُورَةُ أَخِيتُوفَلَ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ يُشِيرُ بِهَا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ كَمَنْ يَسْأَلُ بِكَلَامِ ٱللهِ. هَكَذَا كُلُّ مَشُورَةِ أَخِيتُوفَلَ عَلَى دَاوُدَ وَعَلَى أَبْشَالُومَ جَمِيعًا. ٢٣ 23
In those days the opinions of Ahithophel were valued as highly as if through him a man might get direction from God; so were they valued by David as much as by Absalom.
