< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 21 >

وَكَانَ جُوعٌ فِي أَيَّامِ دَاوُدَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ، سَنَةً بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ، فَطَلَبَ دَاوُدُ وَجْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ. فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هُوَ لِأَجْلِ شَاوُلَ وَلِأَجْلِ بَيْتِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَتَلَ ٱلْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ». ١ 1
Now there was a famine in the days of David for three consecutive years, so David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, "There is bloodguilt on Saul and on his house, because he murdered the Gibeonites."
فَدَعَا ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ. وَٱلْجِبْعُونِيُّونَ لَيْسُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بَلْ مِنْ بَقَايَا ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ، وَقَدْ حَلَفَ لَهُمْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَطَلَبَ شَاوُلُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُمْ لِأَجْلِ غَيْرَتِهِ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا. ٢ 2
So the king summoned the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites. And the children of Israel had sworn to them, but Saul sought to exterminate them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
قَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ: «مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ لَكُمْ؟ وَبِمَاذَا أُكَفِّرُ فَتُبَارِكُوا نَصِيبَ ٱلرَّبِّ؟» ٣ 3
And David said to the Gibeonites, "What can I do for you? And how can I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?"
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْجِبْعُونِيُّونَ: «لَيْسَ لَنَا فِضَّةٌ وَلَا ذَهَبٌ عِنْدَ شَاوُلَ وَلَا عِنْدَ بَيْتِهِ، وَلَيْسَ لَنَا أَنْ نُمِيتَ أَحَدًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». فَقَالَ: «مَهْمَا قُلْتُمْ أَفْعَلُهُ لَكُمْ». ٤ 4
The Gibeonites said to him, "It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, nor is it our place to put anyone to death in Israel." Then he said, "What do you want? For I will do it for you."
فَقَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ: «ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي أَفْنَانَا وَٱلَّذِي تَآمَرَ عَلَيْنَا لِيُبِيدَنَا لِكَيْ لَا نُقِيمَ فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٥ 5
So they said to the king, "The man who opposed us and persecuted us, who meant to eradicate us from having a place anywhere in the territory of Israel,
فَلْنُعْطَ سَبْعَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ بَنِيهِ فَنَصْلِبَهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ فِي جِبْعَةِ شَاوُلَ مُخْتَارِ ٱلرَّبِّ». فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «أَنَا أُعْطِي». ٦ 6
let seven of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them before the LORD at Gibeon on the mountain of the LORD." And the king replied, "I will do it."
وَأَشْفَقَ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَلَى مَفِيبُوشَثَ بْنِ يُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ مِنْ أَجْلِ يَمِينِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَهُمَا، بَيْنَ دَاوُدَ وَيُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ. ٧ 7
But the king spared Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
فَأَخَذَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱبْنَيْ رِصْفَةَ ٱبْنَةِ أَيَّةَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ وَلَدَتْهُمَا لِشَاوُلَ: أَرْمُونِيَ وَمَفِيبُوشَثَ، وَبَنِي مِيكَالَ ٱبْنَةِ شَاوُلَ ٱلْخَمْسَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَدَتْهُمْ لِعَدْرِئِيلَ بْنِ بَرْزِلَّايَ ٱلْمَحُولِيِّ، ٨ 8
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mippibaal; and the five sons of Merob the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
وَسَلَّمَهُمْ إِلَى يَدِ ٱلْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ، فَصَلَبُوهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. فَسَقَطَ ٱلسَّبْعَةُ مَعًا وَقُتِلُوا فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْحَصَادِ، فِي أَوَّلِهَا فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ حَصَادِ ٱلشَّعِيرِ. ٩ 9
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before the LORD, and all seven of them fell together. And they were put to death in the first days of harvest at the beginning of barley harvest.
فَأَخَذَتْ رِصْفَةُ ٱبْنَةُ أَيَّةَ مِسْحًا وَفَرَشَتْهُ لِنَفْسِهَا عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ مِنِ ٱبْتِدَاءِ ٱلْحَصَادِ حَتَّى ٱنْصَبَّ ٱلْمَاءُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَلَمْ تَدَعْ طُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَهَارًا، وَلَا حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْحَقْلِ لَيْلًا. ١٠ 10
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on a rock, from the beginning of harvest until it rained on them from the sky. And she did not allow the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the wild animals by night.
فَأُخْبِرَ دَاوُدُ بِمَا فَعَلَتْ رِصْفَةُ ٱبْنَةُ أَيَّةَ سُرِّيَّةُ شَاوُلَ. ١١ 11
It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the secondary wife of Saul, had done.
فَذَهَبَ دَاوُدُ وَأَخَذَ عِظَامَ شَاوُلَ وَعِظَامَ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَرِقُوهَا مِنْ شَارِعِ بَيْتِ شَانَ، حَيْثُ عَلَّقَهُمَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يَوْمَ ضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ شَاوُلَ فِي جِلْبُوعَ. ١٢ 12
Then David went and obtained the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them on the day that the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa;
فَأَصْعَدَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عِظَامَ شَاوُلَ وَعِظَامَ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِهِ، وَجَمَعُوا عِظَامَ ٱلْمَصْلُوبِينَ، ١٣ 13
and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. And they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
وَدَفَنُوا عِظَامَ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِهِ فِي أَرْضِ بَنْيَامِينَ فِي صَيْلَعَ، فِي قَبْرِ قَيْسَ أَبِيهِ، وَعَمِلُوا كُلَّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلْمَلِكُ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱسْتَجَابَ ٱللهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٤ 14
And he buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in the land of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. After that God responded to prayers for the land.
وَكَانَتْ أَيْضًا حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، فَٱنْحَدَرَ دَاوُدُ وَعَبِيدُهُ مَعَهُ وَحَارَبُوا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَأَعْيَا دَاوُدُ. ١٥ 15
The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. Now David became exhausted,
وَيِشْبِي بَنُوبُ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ أَوْلَادِ رَافَا، وَوَزْنُ رُمْحِهِ ثَلَاثُ مِئَةِ شَاقِلِ نُحَاسٍ وَقَدْ تَقَلَّدَ جَدِيدًا، ٱفْتَكَرَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ دَاوُدَ. ١٦ 16
and Dodo son of Joash, of the descendants of the Raphah, captured him. His spear weighed three hundred bronze shekels, and he was girded with a new sword, and he thought he could kill David.
فَأَنْجَدَهُ أَبِيشَايُ ٱبْنُ صَرُويَةَ، فَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ وَقَتَلَهُ. حِينَئِذٍ حَلَفَ رِجَالُ دَاوُدَ لَهُ قَائِلِينَ: «لَا تَخْرُجُ أَيْضًا مَعَنَا إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَلَا تُطْفِئُ سِرَاجَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». ١٧ 17
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David took an oath, saying, "You must not go out to battle with us again, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel."
ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ كَانَتْ أَيْضًا حَرْبٌ فِي جُوبَ مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. حِينَئِذٍ سَبْكَايُ ٱلْحُوشِيُّ قَتَلَ سَافَ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مِنْ أَوْلَادِ رَافَا. ١٨ 18
Now it came to pass after this that there was another battle with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Raphah.
ثُمَّ كَانَتْ أَيْضًا حَرْبٌ فِي جُوبَ مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. فَأَلْحَانَانُ بْنُ يَعْرِي أُرَجِيمَ ٱلْبَيْتَلَحْمِيُّ قَتَلَ جِلْيَاتَ ٱلْجَتِّيَّ، وَكَانَتْ قَنَاةُ رُمْحِهِ كَنَوْلِ ٱلنَّسَّاجِينَ. ١٩ 19
There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
وَكَانَتْ أَيْضًا حَرْبٌ فِي جَتَّ، وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ طَوِيلَ ٱلْقَامَةِ أَصَابِعُ كُلٍّ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ سِتٌّ، وَأَصَابِعُ كُلٍّ مِنْ رِجْلَيْهِ سِتٌّ، عَدَدُهَا أَرْبَعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ، وَهُوَ أَيْضًا وُلِدَ لِرَافَا. ٢٠ 20
There was another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty four in number, and he also was a descendant of Raphah.
وَلَمَّا عَيَّرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ضَرَبَهُ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شِمْعَى أَخِي دَاوُدَ. ٢١ 21
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ وُلِدُوا لِرَافَا فِي جَتَّ وَسَقَطُوا بِيَدِ دَاوُدَ وَبِيَدِ عَبِيدِهِ. ٢٢ 22
These four were descendants of Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
