صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 15

١ 1 وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَبْشَالُومَ ٱتَّخَذَ مَرْكَبَةً وَخَيْلًا وَخَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا يَجْرُونَ قُدَّامَهُ.

And it was from after thus and he acquired for himself Absalom a chariot and horses and fifty man [who] ran before him.

٢ 2 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».

And he rose early Absalom and he stood at [the] side of [the] road of the gate and it was every person whom it belonged to him a case at law to come to the king for judgment and he called out Absalom to him and he said where? from this city [are] you and he said [is] from one of [the] tribes of Israel servant your.

٣ 3 فَيَقُولُ أَبْشَالُومُ لَهُ: «ٱنْظُرْ. أُمُورُكَ صَالِحَةٌ وَمُسْتَقِيمَةٌ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ لَكَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلْمَلِكِ».

And he said to him Absalom see matter your [are] good and right and [one who] hears not [belongs] to you from with the king.

٤ 4 ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبْشَالُومُ: «مَنْ يَجْعَلُنِي قَاضِيًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ لَهُ خُصُومَةٌ وَدَعْوَى فَأُنْصِفَهُ؟».

And he said Absalom who? will he make me a judge in the land and to me he will come every person whom it belongs to him a case at law and a judgment and I will do justice him.

٥ 5 وَكَانَ إِذَا تَقَدَّمَ أَحَدٌ لِيَسْجُدَ لَهُ، يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ وَيُمْسِكُهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ.

And it was when drew near anyone to bow down to him and he stretched out hand his and he took hold of him and he kissed him.

٦ 6 وَكَانَ أَبْشَالُومُ يَفْعَلُ مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ لِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَأْتُونَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْحُكْمِ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَٱسْتَرَقَّ أَبْشَالُومُ قُلُوبَ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And he did Absalom according to the manner this to all Israel who they came for judgment to the king and he stole Absalom [the] heart of [the] men of Israel.

٧ 7 وَفِي نِهَايَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ أَبْشَالُومُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «دَعْنِي فَأَذْهَبَ وَأُوفِيَ نَذْرِي ٱلَّذِي نَذَرْتُهُ لِلرَّبِّ فِي حَبْرُونَ،

And it was from [the] end of forty year[s] and he said Absalom to the king let me go please so I may pay vow my which I vowed to Yahweh in Hebron.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ نَذَرَ نَذْرًا عِنْدَ سُكْنَايَ فِي جَشُورَ فِي أَرَامَ قَائِلًا: إِنْ أَرْجَعَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فَإِنِّي أَعْبُدُ ٱلرَّبَّ».

For a vow he vowed servant your when dwelt I at Geshur in Aram saying if (certainly *QK) he will bring back me Yahweh Jerusalem and I will serve Yahweh (in Hebron. *X)

٩ 9 فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «ٱذْهَبْ بِسَلَامٍ». فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ.

And he said to him the king go in peace and he arose and he went Hebron towards.

١٠ 10 وَأَرْسَلَ أَبْشَالُومُ جَوَاسِيسَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ، فَقُولُوا: قَدْ مَلَكَ أَبْشَالُومُ فِي حَبْرُونَ».

And he sent Absalom spies in all [the] tribes of Israel saying when hear you [the] sound of the ram's horn and you will say he has become king Absalom in Hebron.

١١ 11 وَٱنْطَلَقَ مَعَ أَبْشَالُومَ مِئَتَا رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَدْ دُعُوا وَذَهَبُوا بِبَسَاطَةٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَعْلَمُونَ شَيْئًا.

And with Absalom they went two hundred man from Jerusalem [those who] were invited and [those who] were going to innocence their and not they knew any thing.

١٢ 12 وَأَرْسَلَ أَبْشَالُومُ إِلَى أَخِيتُوفَلَ ٱلْجِيلُونِيِّ مُشِيرِ دَاوُدَ مِنْ مَدِينَتِهِ جِيلُوهَ إِذْ كَانَ يَذْبَحُ ذَبَائِحَ. وَكَانَتِ ٱلْفِتْنَةُ شَدِيدَةً وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَزَالُ يَتَزَايَدُ مَعَ أَبْشَالُومَ.

And he sent Absalom Ahithophel the Gilonite [the] counselor of David from city his from Giloh when sacrificed he the sacrifices and it was the conspiracy strong and the people [was] going and numerous with Absalom.

١٣ 13 فَأَتَى مُخَبِّرٌ إِلَى دَاوُدَ قَائِلًا: «إِنَّ قُلُوبَ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ صَارَتْ وَرَاءَ أَبْشَالُومَ».

And he came the messenger to David saying it is [the] heart of [the] man of Israel after Absalom.

١٤ 14 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».

And he said David to all servants his who [were] with him in Jerusalem arise so let us flee for not it will belong to us an escape from before Absalom hurry to go lest he should hurry and he will overtake us and he will thrust on us calamity and he will strike the city to [the] mouth of [the] sword.

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ عَبِيدُ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِلْمَلِكِ: «حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يَخْتَارُهُ سَيِّدُنَا ٱلْمَلِكُ نَحْنُ عَبِيدُهُ».

And they said [the] servants of the king to the king according to all that he will choose lord my the king here! [are] servants your.

١٦ 16 فَخَرَجَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجَمِيعُ بَيْتِهِ وَرَاءَهُ. وَتَرَكَ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَشَرَ نِسَاءٍ سَرَارِيَّ لِحِفْظِ ٱلْبَيْتِ.

And he went out the king and all household his at feet his and he left the king ten women concubines to keep the house.

١٧ 17 وَخَرَجَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي أَثَرِهِ وَوَقَفُوا عِنْدَ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَبْعَدِ.

And he went out the king and all the people at feet his and they stood [the] house of the distance.

١٨ 18 وَجَمِيعُ عَبِيدِهِ كَانُوا يَعْبُرُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْجَلَّادِينَ وَٱلسُّعَاةِ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْجَتِّيِّينَ، سِتُّ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ أَتَوْا وَرَاءَهُ مِنْ جَتَّ، وَكَانُوا يَعْبُرُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

And all servants his [were] passing by at side his and all the Kerethite[s] and all the Pelethite[s] and all the Gittites six hundred man who they had come at foot his from Gath [were] passing by at [the] face of the king.

١٩ 19 فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِإِتَّايَ ٱلْجَتِّيِّ: «لِمَاذَا تَذْهَبُ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا مَعَنَا؟ اِرْجِعْ وَأَقِمْ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ وَمَنْفِيٌّ أَيْضًا مِنْ وَطَنِكَ.

And he said the king to Ittai the Gittite why? will you go also you with us return and dwell with the king for [are] a foreigner you and also [are] an exile you to place your.

٢٠ 20 أَمْسًا جِئْتَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ أُتِيهُكَ بِٱلذَّهَابِ مَعَنَا وَأَنَا أَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى حَيْثُ أَنْطَلِقُ؟ اِرْجِعْ وَرَجِّعْ إِخْوَتَكَ. ٱلرَّحْمَةُ وَٱلْحَقُّ مَعَكَ».

[was] yesterday - Coming you and this day (will I make wander? you *QK) with us to go and I [am] going to where I [am] going return and take back brothers your [be] with you covenant loyalty and truth.

٢١ 21 فَأَجَابَ إِتَّايُ ٱلْمَلِكَ وَقَالَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَحَيٌّ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ، إِنَّهُ حَيْثُمَا كَانَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ، إِنْ كَانَ لِلْمَوْتِ أَوْ لِلْحَيَاةِ، فَهُنَاكَ يَكُونُ عَبْدُكَ أَيْضًا».

And he answered Ittai the king and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of lord my the king that except in [the] place where he will be there - lord my the king whether for death or for life for there he will be servant your.

٢٢ 22 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِإِتَّايَ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَٱعْبُرْ». فَعَبَرَ إِتَّايُ ٱلْجَتِّيُّ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِهِ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ.

And he said David to Ittai come and pass on and he passed on Ittai the Gittite and all men his and all the little one[s] who [were] with him.

٢٣ 23 وَكَانَتْ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَبْكِي بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَعْبُرُونَ. وَعَبَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ، وَعَبَرَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

And all the land [were] weeping a voice great and all the people [were] passing by and the king [was] passing in [the] wadi of Kidron and all the people [were] passing on on [the] face of [the] road the wilderness.

٢٤ 24 وَإِذَا بِصَادُوقَ أَيْضًا وَجَمِيعُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مَعَهُ يَحْمِلُونَ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ ٱللهِ. فَوَضَعُوا تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ، وَصَعِدَ أَبِيَاثَارُ حَتَّى ٱنْتَهَى جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنَ ٱلْعُبُورِ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

And there! also Zadok and all the Levites with him [were] carrying [the] ark of [the] covenant of God and they set down [the] ark of God and he went up Abiathar until was finished all the people to pass out from the city.

٢٥ 25 فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِصَادُوقَ: «أَرْجِعْ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ فَإِنَّهُ يُرْجِعُنِي وَيُرِينِي إِيَّاهُ وَمَسْكَنَهُ.

And he said the king to Zadok take back [the] ark of God the city if I will find favor in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he will bring back me and he will show me it and habitation his.

٢٦ 26 وَإِنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا: إِنِّي لَمْ أُسَرَّ بِكَ. فَهَأَنَذَا، فَلْيَفْعَلْ بِي حَسَبَمَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ».

And if thus he will say not I delight in you here [am] I let him do to me just as it is good in eyes his.

٢٧ 27 ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِصَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ: «أَأَنْتَ رَاءٍ؟ فَٱرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ بِسَلَامٍ أَنْتَ وَأَخِيمَعَصُ ٱبْنُكَ وَيُونَاثَانُ بْنُ أَبِيَاثَارَ. ٱبْنَاكُمَا كِلَاهُمَا مَعَكُمَا.

And he said the king to Zadok the priest ¿ a seer [are] you return! the city in peace and Ahimaaz son your and Jonathan [the] son of Abiathar [the] two sons your with you.

٢٨ 28 ٱنْظُرُوا. أَنِّي أَتَوَانَى فِي سُهُولِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ كَلِمَةٌ مِنْكُمْ لِتَخْبِيرِي».

See I [will] delay (in [the] desert plains of *QK) the wilderness until comes word from with you to tell to me.

٢٩ 29 فَأَرْجَعَ صَادُوقُ وَأَبِيَاثَارُ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَقَامَا هُنَاكَ.

And he took back Zadok and Abiathar [the] ark of God Jerusalem and they remained there.

٣٠ 30 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.

And David [was] going up on [the] ascent of the olive trees going up - and weeping and head of him [was] covered and he [was] walking barefoot and all the people which [was] with him they covered each head his and they went up continuously and wept.

٣١ 31 وَأُخْبِرَ دَاوُدُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ أَخِيتُوفَلَ بَيْنَ ٱلْفَاتِنِينَ مَعَ أَبْشَالُومَ» فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «حَمِّقْ يَارَبُّ مَشُورَةَ أَخِيتُوفَلَ».

And David someone told saying Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom and he said David make foolish please [the] counsel of Ahithophel O Yahweh.

٣٢ 32 وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى ٱلْقِمَّةِ حَيْثُ سَجَدَ لِلهِ، إِذَا بِحُوشَايَ ٱلْأَرْكِيِّ قَدْ لَقِيَهُ مُمَزَّقَ ٱلثَّوْبِ وَٱلتُّرَابُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ.

And he was David coming to the top where he bowed down there to God and there! to meet him Hushai the Arkite [was] torn tunic his and earth [was] on head his.

٣٣ 33 فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ: «إِذَا عَبَرْتَ مَعِي تَكُونُ عَلَيَّ حِمْلًا.

And he said to him David if you pass over with me and you will become on me a burden.

٣٤ 34 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.

And if the city you will return and you will say to Absalom servant your I O king I will be [was] [the] servant of father your I from then and now I [will be] servant your and you will frustrate for me [the] counsel of Ahithophel.

٣٥ 35 أَلَيْسَ مَعَكَ هُنَاكَ صَادُوقُ وَأَبِيَاثَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنَانِ. فَكُلُّ مَا تَسْمَعُهُ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَأَخْبِرْ بِهِ صَادُوقَ وَأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَيْنِ.

And? not with you there [are] Zadok and Abiathar the priests and it will be every word which you will hear from [the] house of the king you will tell to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests.

٣٦ 36 هُوَذَا هُنَاكَ مَعَهُمَا ٱبْنَاهُمَا أَخِيمَعَصُ لِصَادُوقَ وَيُونَاثَانُ لِأَبِيَاثَارَ. فَتُرْسِلُونَ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمَا إِلَيَّ كُلَّ كَلِمَةٍ تَسْمَعُونَهَا».

There! there [are] with them [the] two sons their Ahimaaz of Zadok and Jonathan of Abiathar and you will send by hand their to me every word which you will hear.

٣٧ 37 فَأَتَى حُوشَايُ صَاحِبُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَبْشَالُومُ يَدْخُلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And he came Hushai [the] friend of David the city and Absalom he came Jerusalem.
