١ أخبار 14

١ 1 وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ رُسُلًا إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَخَشَبَ أَرْزٍ وَبَنَّائِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ لِيَبْنُوا لَهُ بَيْتًا.

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

٢ 2 وَعَلِمَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَثْبَتَهُ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ مَمْلَكَتَهُ ٱرْتَفَعَتْ مُتَصَاعِدَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.

٣ 3 وَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ نِسَاءً أَيْضًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَوَلَدَ أَيْضًا دَاوُدُ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ.

David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.

٤ 4 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ: شَمُّوعُ وَشُوبَابُ وَنَاثَانُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ

These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

٨ 8 وَسَمِعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدْ مُسِحَ مَلِكًا عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَصَعِدَ كُلُّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لِيُفَتِّشُوا عَلَى دَاوُدَ. وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ دَاوُدُ خَرَجَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ.

When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.

٩ 9 فَجَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَٱنْتَشَرُوا فِي وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ.

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

١٠ 10 فَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱللهِ قَائِلًا: «أَأَصْعَدُ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَتَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِي؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱصْعَدْ فَأَدْفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِكَ».

David enquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”

١١ 11 فَصَعِدُوا إِلَى بَعْلِ فَرَاصِيمَ وَضَرَبَهُمْ دَاوُدُ هُنَاكَ. وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «قَدِ ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱللهُ أَعْدَائِي بِيَدِي كَٱقْتِحَامِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ». لِذَلِكَ دَعَوْا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «بَعْلَ فَرَاصِيمَ».

So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

١٢ 12 وَتَرَكُوا هُنَاكَ آلِهَتَهُمْ، فَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ فَأُحْرِقَتْ بِٱلنَّارِ.

They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burnt with fire.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ عَادَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَيْضًا وَٱنْتَشَرُوا فِي ٱلْوَادِي.

The Philistines made another raid in the valley.

١٤ 14 فَسَأَلَ أَيْضًا دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱللهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱللهُ: «لَا تَصْعَدْ وَرَاءَهُمْ، تَحَوَّلْ عَنْهُمْ وَهَلُمَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مُقَابِلَ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُكَا.

David enquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.

١٥ 15 وَعِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ خَطَوَاتٍ فِي رُؤُوسِ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُكَا فَٱخْرُجْ حِينَئِذٍ لِلْحَرْبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ يَخْرُجُ أَمَامَكَ لِضَرْبِ مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ».

When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

١٦ 16 فَفَعَلَ دَاوُدُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱللهُ، وَضَرَبُوا مَحَلَّةَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ جِبْعُونَ إِلَى جَازِرَ.

David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

١٧ 17 وَخَرَجَ ٱسْمُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَيْبَتَهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

The fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all nations.
