صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 20

١ 1 وَٱتَّفَقَ هُنَاكَ رَجُلٌ لَئِيمٌ ٱسْمُهُ شَبَعُ بْنُ بِكْرِي رَجُلٌ بَنْيَامِينِيٌّ، فَضَرَبَ بِٱلْبُوقِ وَقَالَ: «لَيْسَ لَنَا قِسْمٌ فِي دَاوُدَ وَلَا لَنَا نَصِيبٌ فِي ٱبْنِ يَسَّى. كُلُّ رَجُلٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ يَاإِسْرَائِيلُ».

٢ 2 فَصَعِدَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ دَاوُدَ إِلَى وَرَاءِ شَبَعَ بْنِ بِكْرِي. وَأَمَّا رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا فَلَازَمُوا مَلِكَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And he went up every man of Israel from after David after Sheba [the] son of Bicri and [the] man of Judah they clung to king their from the Jordan and to Jerusalem.

٣ 3 وَجَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَأَخَذَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلنِّسَاءَ ٱلسَّرَارِيَّ ٱلْعَشَرَ ٱللَّوَاتِي تَرَكَهُنَّ لِحِفْظِ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَجَعَلَهُنَّ تَحْتَ حَجْزٍ، وَكَانَ يَعُولُهُنَّ وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ إِلَيْهِنَّ، بَلْ كُنَّ مَحبُوسَاتٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهِنَّ فِي عِيشَةِ ٱلْعُزُوبَةِ.

٤ 4 وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِعَمَاسَا: «ٱجْمَعْ لِي رِجَالَ يَهُوذَا فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَٱحْضُرْ أَنْتَ هُنَا».

And he said the king to Amasa summon to me [the] man of Judah three days and you here stand.

٥ 5 فَذَهَبَ عَمَاسَا لِيَجْمَعَ يَهُوذَا، وَلَكِنَّهُ تأَخَّرَ عَنِ ٱلْمِيقَاتِ ٱلَّذِي عَيَّنَهُ.

And he went Amasa to summon Judah (and he was delayed *QK) from the appointed time which he had appointed for him.

٦ 6 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأَبِيشَايَ: «ٱلْآنَ يُسِيءُ إِلَيْنَا شَبَعُ بْنُ بِكْرِي أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَبْشَالُومَ. فَخُذْ أَنْتَ عَبِيدَ سَيِّدِكَ وَٱتْبَعْهُ لِئَلَّا يَجِدَ لِنَفْسِهِ مُدُنًا حَصِينَةً وَيَنْفَلِتَ مِنْ أَمَامِ أَعْيُنِنَا».

And he said David to Abishai now he will be bad for us Sheba [the] son of Bicri more than Absalom you take [the] servants of master your and pursue after him lest he has found for himself cities fortified and he will tear out eye our.

٧ 7 فَخَرَجَ وَرَاءَهُ رِجَالُ يُوآبَ: ٱلْجَلَّادُونَ وَٱلسُّعَاةُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْأَبْطَالِ، وَخَرَجُوا مِن أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَتْبَعُوا شَبَعَ بْنَ بِكْرِي.

And they went out after him [the] men of Joab and the Kerethite[s] and the Pelethite[s] and all the warriors and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba [the] son of Bicri.

٨ 8 وَلَمَّا كَانُوا عِنْدَ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي جِبْعُونَ، جَاءَ عَمَاسَا قُدَّامَهُمْ. وَكَانَ يُوآبُ مُتَنَطِّقًا عَلَى ثَوْبِهِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَابِسَهُ، وَفَوْقَهُ مِنْطَقَةُ سَيْفٍ فِي غِمْدِهِ مَشْدُودَةٌ عَلَى حَقَوَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ ٱنْدَلَقَ ٱلسَّيْفُ.

They [were] near the stone great which [is] in Gibeon and Amasa he came before them and Joab [was] girded - robe his clothing his (and over it *Qk) a belt of a sword [was] fastened on loins his in sheath its and he he went forward and it fell.

٩ 9 فَقَالَ يُوآبُ لِعَمَاسَا: «أَسَالِمٌ أَنْتَ يَا أَخِي؟» وَأَمْسَكَتْ يَدُ يُوآبَ ٱلْيُمْنَى بِلِحْيَةِ عَمَاسَا لِيُقَبِّلَهُ.

And he said Joab to Amasa ¿ peace [are] you O brother my and it took hold [the] hand of [the] right of Joab on [the] beard of Amasa to kiss him.

١٠ 10 وَأَمَّا عَمَاسَا فَلَمْ يَحْتَرِزْ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِ يُوآبَ، فَضَرَبَهُ بِهِ فِي بَطْنِهِ فَدَلَقَ أَمْعَاءَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يُثَنِّ عَلَيْهِ، فَمَاتَ. وَأَمَّا يُوآبُ وَأَبِيشَايُ أَخُوهُ فَتَبِعَا شَبَعَ بْنَ بِكْرِي.

And Amasa not he took heed to the sword - which [was] in [the] hand of Joab and he struck him with it into the belly and he poured out bowels his [the] ground towards and not he repeated to him and he died. And Joab and Abishai brother his he pursued after Sheba [the] son of Bicri.

١١ 11 وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ غِلْمَانِ يُوآبَ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ سُرَّ بِيُوآبَ، وَمَنْ هُوَ لِدَاوُدَ، فَوَرَاءَ يُوآبَ».

And a man he stood over him one of [the] young men of Joab and he said who? [is [the] one] who he delights in Joab and who? [is [the] one] who [belongs] to David after Joab.

١٢ 12 وَكَانَ عَمَاسَا يَتَمَرَّغُ فِي ٱلدَّمِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسِّكَّةِ. وَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلرَّجُلُ أَنَّ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَقِفُونَ، نَقَلَ عَمَاسَا مِنَ ٱلسِّكَّةِ إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ وَطَرَحَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبًا، لَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ يَقِفُ.

And Amasa [was] wallowing in blood in [the] middle of the highway and he saw the man that it stopped all the people and he brought round Amasa from the highway the field and he threw over him a garment when he saw all who came on him and he stopped.

١٣ 13 فَلَمَّا نُقِلَ عَنِ ٱلسِّكَّةِ عَبَرَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ وَرَاءَ يُوآبَ لِٱتِّبَاعِ شَبَعَ بْنِ بِكْرِي.

When he had removed [him] from the highway he passed by every person after Joab to pursue after Sheba [the] son of Bicri.

١٤ 14 وَعَبَرَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى آبَلَ وَبَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ وَجَمِيعِ ٱلْبِيرِيِّينَ، فَٱجْتَمَعُوا وَخَرَجُوا أَيْضًا وَرَاءَهُ.

And he passed in all [the] tribes of Israel Abel towards and Beth Maacah and all the Berites. (And they assembled *QK) and they went also after him.

١٥ 15 وَجَاءُوا وَحَاصَرُوهُ فِي آبَلِ بَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ، وَأَقَامُوا مِتْرَسَةً حَوْلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فَأَقَامَتْ فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَ يُوآبَ كَانُوا يُخْرِبُونَ لِأَجْلِ إِسْقَاطِ ٱلسُّورِ.

And they came and they laid siege on him in Abel Beth Maacah and they poured out a mound against the city and it stood by the rampart and all the people which [was] with Joab [were] about to destroy to make fall the wall.

١٦ 16 فَنَادَتِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ حَكِيمَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ: «اِسْمَعُوا. اِسْمَعُوا. قُولُوا لِيُوآبَ تَقَدَّمْ إِلَى هَهُنَا فَأُكَلِّمَكَ».

And she called out a woman wise from the city listen listen say please to Joab draw near to here so let me speak to you.

١٧ 17 فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهَا، فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «أَأَنْتَ يُوآبُ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنَا هُوَ». فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «ٱسْمَعْ كَلَامَ أَمَتِكَ». فَقَالَ: «أَنَا سَامِعٌ».

And he drew near to her and she said the woman ¿ [are] you Joab and he said I [am] and she said to him listen to [the] words of maidservant your and he said [am] listening I.

١٨ 18 فَتَكَلَّمَتْ قَائِلَةً: «كَانُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ أَوَّلًا قَائِلِينَ: سُؤَالًا يَسْأَلُونَ فِي آبَلَ. وَهَكَذَا كَانُوا ٱنْتَهَوْا.

And she said saying surely they spoke at the former [time] saying certainly they will ask at Abel and thus they ceased.

١٩ 19 أَنَا مُسَالِمَةٌ أَمِينَةٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَنْتَ طَالِبٌ أَنْ تُمِيتَ مَدِينَةً وَأُمًّا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لِمَاذَا تَبْلَعُ نَصِيبَ ٱلرَّبِّ؟»

I [am] [the] peaceful [ones] of [the] faithful [ones] of Israel you [are] seeking to kill a city and a mother in Israel why? will you swallow up [the] inheritance of Yahweh.

٢٠ 20 فَأَجَابَ يُوآبُ وَقَالَ: «حَاشَايَ! حَاشَايَ أَنْ أَبْلَعَ وَأَنْ أُهْلِكَ.

And he answered Joab and he said far be it far be it to me if I will swallow up and if I will destroy.

٢١ 21 ٱلْأَمْرُ لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ. لِأَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ ٱسْمُهُ شَبَعُ بْنُ بِكْرِي رَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ. سَلِّمُوهُ وَحْدَهُ فَأَنْصَرِفَ عَنِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ». فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ لِيُوآبَ: «هُوَذَا رَأْسُهُ يُلْقَى إِلَيْكَ عَنِ ٱلسُّورِ».
