صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 18
| وَأَحْصَى دَاوُدُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ، وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ رُؤَسَاءَ أُلُوفٍ وَرُؤَسَاءَ مِئَاتٍ. | ١ 1 |
And David numbered the people that [were] with him, and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.
| وَأَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ثُلْثًا بِيَدِ يُوآبَ، وَثُلْثًا بِيَدِ أَبِيشَايَ ٱبْنِ صَرُويَةَ أَخِي يُوآبَ، وَثُلْثًا بِيَدِ إِتَّايَ ٱلْجَتِّيِّ. وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلشَّعْبِ: «إِنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا أَخْرُجُ مَعَكُمْ». | ٢ 2 |
And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.
| فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ: «لَا تَخْرُجْ، لِأَنَّنَا إِذَا هَرَبْنَا لَا يُبَالُونَ بِنَا، وَإِذَا مَاتَ نِصْفُنَا لَا يُبَالُونَ بِنَا. وَٱلْآنَ أَنْتَ كَعَشْرَةِ آلَافٍ مِنَّا. وَٱلْآنَ ٱلْأَصْلَحُ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَنَا نَجْدَةً مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ». | ٣ 3 |
But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now [thou art] worth ten thousand of us: therefore now [it is] better that thou shouldst succor us out of the city.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ أَفْعَلُهُ». فَوَقَفَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْبَابِ وَخَرَجَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِئَاتٍ وَأُلُوفًا. | ٤ 4 |
And the king said to them, What seemeth to you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
| وَأَوْصَى ٱلْمَلِكُ يُوآبَ وَأَبِيشَايَ وَإِتَّايَ قَائِلًا: «تَرَفَّقُوا لِي بِٱلْفَتَى أَبْشَالُومَ». وَسَمِعَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ حِينَ أَوْصَى ٱلْمَلِكُ جَمِيعَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ بِأَبْشَالُومَ. | ٥ 5 |
And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, [Deal] gently for my sake with the young man, [even] with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
| وَخَرَجَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ لِلِقَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَكَانَ ٱلْقِتَالُ فِي وَعْرِ أَفْرَايِمَ، | ٦ 6 |
So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;
| فَٱنْكَسَرَ هُنَاكَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَمَامَ عَبِيدِ دَاوُدَ، وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ مَقْتَلَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. قُتِلَ عِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا. | ٧ 7 |
Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand [men].
| وَكَانَ ٱلْقِتَالُ هُنَاكَ مُنْتَشِرًا عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَزَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَكَلَهُمُ ٱلْوَعْرُ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ أَكَلَهُمُ ٱلسَّيْفُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٨ 8 |
For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
| وَصَادَفَ أَبْشَالُومُ عَبِيدَ دَاوُدَ، وَكَانَ أَبْشَالُومُ رَاكِبًا عَلَى بَغْلٍ، فَدَخَلَ ٱلْبَغْلُ تَحْتَ أَغْصَانِ ٱلْبُطْمَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ ٱلْمُلْتَفَّةِ، فَتَعَلَّقَ رَأْسُهُ بِٱلْبُطْمَةِ وَعُلِّقَ بَيْنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ، وَٱلْبَغْلُ ٱلَّذِي تَحْتَهُ مَرَّ. | ٩ 9 |
And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was suspended between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that [was] under him went away.
| فَرَآهُ رَجُلٌ وَأَخْبَرَ يُوآبَ وَقَالَ: «إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَبْشَالُومَ مُعَلَّقًا بِٱلْبُطْمَةِ». | ١٠ 10 |
And a certain man saw [it], and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.
| فَقَالَ يُوآبُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ: «إِنَّكَ قَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ، فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تَضْرِبْهُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ وَعَلَيَّ أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَمِنْطَقَةً». | ١١ 11 |
And Joab said to the man that told him, And behold, thou sawest [him], and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten [shekels] of silver, and a girdle.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّجُلُ لِيُوآبَ: «فَلَوْ وُزِنَ فِي يَدِي أَلْفٌ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ لَمَا كُنْتُ أَمُدُّ يَدِي إِلَى ٱبْنِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ أَوْصَاكَ فِي آذَانِنَا أَنْتَ وَأَبِيشَايَ وَإِتَّايَ قَائِلًا: ٱحْتَرِزُوا أَيًّا كَانَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى ٱلْفَتَى أَبْشَالُومَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And the man said to Joab, Though I should receive a thousand [shekels] of silver in my hand, [yet] would I not put forth my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none [touch] the young man Absalom.
| وَإِلَّا فَكُنْتُ فَعَلْتُ بِنَفْسِي زُورًا، إِذْ لَا يَخْفَى عَنِ ٱلْمَلِكِ شَيْءٌ، وأَنْتَ كُنْتَ وَقَفْتَ ضِدِّي». | ١٣ 13 |
Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against my own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldst have set thyself against [me].
| فَقَالَ يُوآبُ: «إِنِّي لَا أَصْبِرُ هَكَذَا أَمَامَكَ». فَأَخَذَ ثَلَاثَةَ سِهَامٍ بِيَدِهِ وَنَشَّبَهَا فِي قَلْبِ أَبْشَالُومَ، وَهُوَ بَعْدُ حَيٌّ فِي قَلْبِ ٱلْبُطْمَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he [was] yet alive in the midst of the oak.
| وَأَحَاطَ بِهَا عَشْرَةُ غِلْمَانٍ حَامِلُو سِلَاحِ يُوآبَ، وَضَرَبُوا أَبْشَالُومَ وَأَمَاتُوهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And ten young men that bore Joab's armor compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.
| وَضَرَبَ يُوآبُ بِٱلْبُوقِ فَرَجَعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَنِ ٱتِّبَاعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ يُوآبَ مَنَعَ ٱلشَّعْبَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel: for Joab restrained the people.
| وَأَخَذُوا أَبْشَالُومَ وَطَرَحُوهُ فِي ٱلْوَعْرِ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، وَأَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ رُجْمَةً عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا مِنَ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ. وَهَرَبَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.
| وَكَانَ أَبْشَالُومُ قَدْ أَخَذَ وَأَقَامَ لِنَفْسِهِ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ ٱلنُّصْبَ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَادِي ٱلْمَلِكِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ لِيَ ٱبْنٌ لِأَجْلِ تَذْكِيرِ ٱسْمِي». وَدَعَا ٱلنُّصْبَ بِٱسْمِهِ، وَهُوَ يُدْعَى «يَدَ أَبْشَالُومَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Now Absalom in his life-time had taken and raised for himself a pillar, which [is] in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called to this day, Absalom's place.
| وَقَالَ أَخِيمَعَصُ بْنُ صَادُوقَ: «دَعْنِي أَجْرِ فَأُبَشِّرَ ٱلْمَلِكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدِ ٱنْتَقَمَ لَهُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ». | ١٩ 19 |
Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and inform the king, how the LORD hath avenged himself of his enemies.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ يُوآبُ: «مَا أَنْتَ صَاحِبُ بِشَارَةٍ فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. فِي يَوْمٍ آخَرَ تُبَشِّرُ، وَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تُبَشِّرُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ قَدْ مَاتَ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And Joab said to him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
| وَقَالَ يُوآبُ لِكُوشِي: «ٱذْهَبْ وَأَخْبِرِ ٱلْمَلِكَ بِمَا رَأَيْتَ». فَسَجَدَ كُوشِي لِيُوآبَ وَرَكَضَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Then said Joab to Cushi, Go, tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself to Joab, and ran.
| وَعَادَ أَيْضًا أَخِيمَعَصُ بْنُ صَادُوقَ فَقَالَ لِيُوآبَ: «مَهْمَا كَانَ، فَدَعْنِي أَجْرِ أَنَا أَيْضًا وَرَاءَ كُوشِي». فَقَالَ يُوآبُ: «لِمَاذَا تَجْرِي أَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنِي، وَلَيْسَ لَكَ بِشَارَةٌ تُجَازَى؟» | ٢٢ 22 |
Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But however, let me also, I pray thee, run after Cushi. And Joab said, Why wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?
| قَالَ: «مَهْمَا كَانَ أَجْرِي». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱجْرِ». فَجَرَى أَخِيمَعَصُ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْغَوْرِ وَسَبَقَ كُوشِيَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
But however, [said he], let me run. And he said to him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and outran Cushi.
| وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ جَالِسًا بَيْنَ ٱلْبَابَيْنِ، وَطَلَعَ ٱلرَّقِيبُ إِلَى سَطْحِ ٱلْبَابِ إِلَى ٱلسُّورِ وَرَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ يَجْرِي وَحْدَهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate to the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.
| فَنَادَى ٱلرَّقِيبُ وَأَخْبَرَ ٱلْمَلِكَ. فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «إِنْ كَانَ وَحْدَهُ فَفِي فَمِهِ بِشَارَةٌ». وَكَانَ يَسْعَى وَيَقْرُبُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And the watchman called, and told the king. And the king said, If he [is] alone [there is] tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near.
| ثُمَّ رَأَى ٱلرَّقِيبُ رَجُلًا آخَرَ يَجْرِي، فَنَادَى ٱلرَّقِيبُ ٱلْبَوَّابَ وَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا رَجُلٌ يَجْرِي وَحْدَهُ». فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «وَهَذَا أَيْضًا مُبَشِّرٌ». | ٢٦ 26 |
And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called to the porter, and said, Behold [another] man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّقِيبُ: «إِنِّي أَرَى جَرْيَ ٱلْأَوَّلِ كَجَرْيِ أَخِيمَعَصَ بْنِ صَادُوقَ». فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «هَذَا رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ وَيَأْتِي بِبِشَارَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ». | ٢٧ 27 |
And the watchman said, I think the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He [is] a good man, and cometh with good news.
| فَنَادَى أَخِيمَعَصُ وَقَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «ٱلسَّلَامُ». وَسَجَدَ لِلْمَلِكِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي دَفَعَ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ رَفَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَى سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ». | ٢٨ 28 |
And Ahimaaz called, and said to the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed [be] the LORD thy God, who hath delivered up the men that raised their hand against my lord the king.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «أَسَلَامٌ لِلْفَتَى أَبْشَالُومَ؟» فَقَالَ أَخِيمَعَصُ: «قَدْ رَأَيْتُ جُمْهُورًا عَظِيمًا عِنْدَ إِرْسَالِ يُوآبَ عَبْدَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَعَبْدَكَ، وَلَمْ أَعْلَمْ مَاذَا». | ٢٩ 29 |
And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and [me] thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what [it was].
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «دُرْ وَقِفْ هَهُنَا». فَدَارَ وَوَقَفَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And the king said [to him], Turn aside, [and] stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
| وَإِذَا بِكُوشِي قَدْ أَتَى، وَقَالَ كُوشِي: «لِيُبَشَّرْ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدِ ٱنْتَقَمَ لَكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيْكَ». | ٣١ 31 |
And behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِكُوشِي: «أَسَلَامٌ لِلْفَتَى أَبْشَالُومَ؟» فَقَالَ كُوشِي: «لِيَكُنْ كَٱلْفَتَى أَعْدَاءُ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ قَامُوا عَلَيْكَ لِلشَّرِّ». | ٣٢ 32 |
And the king said to Cushi, [Is] the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, May the enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do [thee] hurt, be as [that] young man [is].
| فَٱنْزَعَجَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى عِلِّيَّةِ ٱلْبَابِ وَكَانَ يَبْكِي وَيَقُولُ هكَذَا وَهُوَ يَتَمَشَّى: «يَا ٱبْنِي أَبْشَالُومُ، يَا ٱبْنِي، يَا ٱبْنِي أَبْشَالُومُ! يَالَيْتَنِي مُتُّ عِوَضًا عَنْكَ! يَا أَبْشَالُومُ ٱبْنِي، يَا ٱبْنِي». | ٣٣ 33 |
And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! O that I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
