دوم سموئیل 1

۱ 1 و بعد از وفات شاول و مراجعت داود از مقاتله عمالقه واقع شد که داود دو روز درصقلغ توقف نمود.

After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.

۲ 2 و در روز سوم ناگاه شخصی از نزد شاول با لباس دریده و خاک بر سرش ریخته از لشکر آمد، و چون نزد داود رسید، به زمین افتاده، تعظیم نمود.

On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].

۳ 3 و داود وی را گفت: «ازکجا آمدی؟» او در جواب وی گفت: «از لشکراسرائیل فرار کرده‌ام.»

David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”

۴ 4 داود وی را گفت: «مراخبر بده که کار چگونه شده است.» او گفت: «قوم از جنگ فرار کردند و بسیاری از قوم نیز افتادند ومردند، و هم شاول و پسرش، یوناتان، مردند.»

David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”

۵ 5 پس داود به جوانی که او را مخبر ساخته بود، گفت: «چگونه دانستی که شاول و پسرش یوناتان مرده‌اند.»

David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”

۶ 6 و جوانی که او را مخبر ساخته بود، گفت: «اتفاق مرا در کوه جلبوع گذر افتاد و اینک شاول بر نیزه خود تکیه می‌نمود، و اینک ارابه‌ها وسواران او را به سختی تعاقب می‌کردند.

The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.

۷ 7 و به عقب نگریسته، مرا دید و مرا خواند و جواب دادم، لبیک.

Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’

۸ 8 او مرا گفت: تو کیستی؟ وی را گفتم: عمالیقی هستم.

He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’

۹ 9 او به من گفت: تمنا اینکه بر من بایستی و مرا بکشی زیرا که پریشانی مرا در‌گرفته است چونکه تمام جانم تا بحال در من است.

Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’

۱۰ 10 پس بر او ایستاده، او را کشتم زیرا دانستم که بعد از افتادنش زنده نخواهد ماند و تاجی که برسرش و بازوبندی که بر بازویش بود، گرفته، آنها را اینجا نزد آقایم آوردم.»

So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”

۱۱ 11 آنگاه داود جامه خود را گرفته، آن را دریدو تمامی کسانی که همراهش بودند، چنین کردند.

Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].

۱۲ 12 و برای شاول و پسرش، یوناتان، و برای قوم خداوند و خاندان اسرائیل ماتم گرفتند و گریه کردند، و تا شام روزه داشتند، زیرا که به دم شمشیر افتاده بودند.

They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].

۱۳ 13 و داود به جوانی که او رامخبر ساخت، گفت: «تو از کجا هستی؟» او گفت: «من پسر مرد غریب عمالیقی هستم.»

Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”

۱۴ 14 داود وی را گفت: «چگونه نترسیدی که دست خود را بلندکرده، مسیح خداوند را هلاک ساختی؟»

David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]

۱۵ 15 آنگاه داود یکی از خادمان خود را طلبیده، گفت: «نزدیک آمده، او را بکش.» پس او را زد که مرد.

You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].

۱۶ 16 و داود او راگفت: «خونت بر سر خودت باشدزیرا که دهانت بر تو شهادت داده، گفت که من مسیح خداوند را کشتم.»

۱۷ 17 و داود این مرثیه را درباره شاول و پسرش یوناتان انشا کرد.

Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,

۱۸ 18 و امر فرمود که نشید قوس رابه بنی یهودا تعلیم دهند. اینک در سفر یاشرمکتوب است:

and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:

۱۹ 19 «زیبایی تو‌ای اسرائیل در مکانهای بلندت کشته شد. جباران چگونه افتادند.

“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!

۲۰ 20 در جت اطلاع ندهید و در کوچه های اشقلون خبر مرسانید، مبادا دختران فلسطینیان شادی کنند. و مبادا دختران نامختونان وجد نمایند.

“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.

۲۱ 21 ‌ای کوههای جلبوع، شبنم و باران بر شما نبارد. و نه از کشتزارهایت هدایا بشود، زیرا در آنجاسپر جباران دور انداخته شد. سپر شاول که گویابه روغن مسح نشده بود.

I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;

۲۲ 22 از خون کشتگان و از پیه جباران، کمان یوناتان برنگردید. و شمشیر شاول تهی برنگشت.

instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]

۲۳ 23 شاول و یوناتان در حیات خویش محبوب نازنین بودند. و در موت خود از یکدیگر جدانشدند. از عقابها تیزپرتر و از شیران تواناتر بودند.

“Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.

۲۴ 24 ‌ای دختران اسرائیل برای شاول گریه کنید که شما را به قرمز و نفایس ملبس می‌ساخت وزیورهای طلا بر لباس شما می‌گذاشت.

“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.

۲۵ 25 شجاعان در معرض جنگ چگونه افتادند. ای یوناتان بر مکان های بلند خود کشته شدی.

“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.

۲۶ 26 ‌ای برادر من یوناتان برای تو دلتنگ شده‌ام. برای من بسیار نازنین بودی. محبت تو با من عجیب تر از محبت زنان بود.

Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].

۲۷ 27 جباران چگونه افتادند. و چگونه اسلحه جنگ تلف شد.»

“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
