< صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 5 >

وَجَاءَ جَمِيعُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ، إِلَى حَبْرُونَ، وَتَكَلَّمُوا قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا عَظْمُكَ وَلَحْمُكَ نَحْنُ. ١ 1
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your flesh and bone.
وَمُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ، حِينَ كَانَ شَاوُلُ مَلِكًا عَلَيْنَا، قَدْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ تُخْرِجُ وَتُدْخِلُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَقَدْ قَالَ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَنْتَ تَرْعَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ رَئِيسًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٢ 2
In the recent past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led the Israelite army. Yahweh said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become ruler over Israel.'”
وَجَاءَ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِلَى حَبْرُونَ، فَقَطَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدًا فِي حَبْرُونَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَمَسَحُوا دَاوُدَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٣ 3
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before Yahweh. They anointed David king over Israel.
كَانَ دَاوُدُ ٱبْنَ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. ٤ 4
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
فِي حَبْرُونَ مَلَكَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ وَسِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ. وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَلَكَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا. ٥ 5
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
وَذَهَبَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَرِجَالُهُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَكَلَّمُوا دَاوُدَ قَائِلِينَ: «لَا تَدْخُلْ إِلَى هُنَا، مَا لَمْ تَنْزِعِ ٱلْعُمْيَانَ وَٱلْعُرْجَ». أَيْ لَا يَدْخُلُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى هُنَا. ٦ 6
The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. They said to David, “You will not come here except to be turned away by the blind and the lame. David cannot come here.”
وَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ حِصْنَ صِهْيَوْنَ، هِيَ مَدِينَةُ دَاوُدَ. ٧ 7
Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion, which now is the city of David.
وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ: «إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَضْرِبُ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ وَيَبْلُغُ إِلَى ٱلْقَنَاةِ وَٱلْعُرْجِ وَٱلْعُمْيِ ٱلْمُبْغَضِينَ مِنْ نَفْسِ دَاوُدَ». لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُونَ: «لَا يَدْخُلِ ٱلْبَيْتَ أَعْمَى أَوْ أَعْرَجُ». ٨ 8
At that time David said, “Those who attack the Jebusites will have to go through the water shaft to reach the 'lame and the blind' who are David's enemies.” That is why people say, “The 'blind and the lame' must not enter the palace.”
وَأَقَامَ دَاوُدُ فِي ٱلْحِصْنِ وَسَمَّاهُ «مَدِينَةَ دَاوُدَ». وَبَنَى دَاوُدُ مُسْتَدِيرًا مِنَ ٱلْقَلْعَةِ فَدَاخِلًا. ٩ 9
So David lived in the stronghold and called it the city of David. He fortified around it, from the terrace toward the inside.
وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَتَزَايَدُ مُتَعَظِّمًا، وَٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ مَعَهُ. ١٠ 10
David became very powerful because Yahweh, the God of hosts, was with him.
وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ رُسُلًا إِلَى دَاوُدَ، وَخَشَبَ أَرْزٍ وَنَجَّارِينَ وَبَنَّائِينَ فَبَنَوْا لِدَاوُدَ بَيْتًا. ١١ 11
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for David.
وَعَلِمَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ ثَبَّتَهُ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنَّهُ قَدْ رَفَّعَ مُلْكَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٢ 12
David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
وَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ أَيْضًا سَرَارِيَ وَنِسَاءً مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْدَ مَجِيئِهِ مِنْ حَبْرُونَ، فَوُلِدَ أَيْضًا لِدَاوُدَ بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. ١٣ 13
After David left Hebron and came to Jerusalem, he took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ: شَمُّوعُ وَشُوبَابُ وَنَاثَانُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ، ١٤ 14
These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
وَيِبْحَارُ وَأَلِيشُوعُ وَنَافَجُ وَيَافِيعُ، ١٥ 15
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
وَأَلِيشَمَعُ وَأَلِيدَاعُ وَأَلِيفَلَطُ. ١٦ 16
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
وَسَمِعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ مَسَحُوا دَاوُدَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَصَعِدَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لِيُفَتِّشُوا عَلَى دَاوُدَ. وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ دَاوُدُ نَزَلَ إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ. ١٧ 17
Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
وَجَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَٱنْتَشَرُوا فِي وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ. ١٨ 18
Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
وَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «أَأَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟ أَتَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِي؟» فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ: «ٱصْعَدْ، لِأَنِّي دَفْعًا أَدْفَعُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لِيَدِكَ». ١٩ 19
Then David asked for help from Yahweh. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to David, “Attack, for I will certainly give you victory over the Philistines.”
فَجَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَعْلِ فَرَاصِيمَ وَضَرَبَهُمْ دَاوُدُ هُنَاكَ، وَقَالَ: «قَدِ ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَعْدَائِي أَمَامِي كَٱقْتِحَامِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ». لِذَلِكَ دَعَى ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «بَعْلَ فَرَاصِيمَ». ٢٠ 20
So David attacked at Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies before me like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.
وَتَرَكُوا هُنَاكَ أَصْنَامَهُمْ فَنَزَعَهَا دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ. ٢١ 21
The Philistines left their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.
ثُمَّ عَادَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فَصَعِدُوا أَيْضًا وَٱنْتَشَرُوا فِي وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ. ٢٢ 22
Then the Philistines came up again and spread out once more in the Valley of Rephaim.
فَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَقَالَ: «لَا تَصْعَدْ، بَلْ دُرْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ، وَهَلُمَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مُقَابِلَ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُكَا، ٢٣ 23
So David sought help from Yahweh again, and Yahweh said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
وَعِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ خَطَوَاتٍ فِي رُؤُوسِ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُكَا، حِينَئِذٍ ٱحْتَرِصْ، لِأَنَّهُ إِذْ ذَاكَ يَخْرُجُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَامَكَ لِضَرْبِ مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». ٢٤ 24
When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because Yahweh will have gone out before you to attack the army of the Philistines.”
فَفَعَلَ دَاوُدُ كَذَلِكَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ جَبْعٍ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ جَازَرَ. ٢٥ 25
So David did as Yahweh had commanded him. He killed Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
