١ أخبار 21
| وَوَقَفَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ ضِدَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَغْوَى دَاوُدَ لِيُحْصِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ 1 |
And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِيُوآبَ وَلِرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «ٱذْهَبُوا عِدُّوا إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ إِلَى دَانَ، وَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ فَأَعْلَمَ عَدَدَهُمْ». | ٢ 2 |
And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.
| فَقَالَ يُوآبُ: «لِيَزِدِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ أَمْثَالَهُمْ مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ. أَلَيْسُوا جَمِيعًا يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ عَبِيدًا لِسَيِّدِي؟ لِمَاذَا يَطْلُبُ هَذَا سَيِّدِي؟ لِمَاذَا يَكُونُ سَبَبَ إِثْمٍ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ؟» | ٣ 3 |
And Joab said, Jehovah make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel?
| فَٱشْتَدَّ كَلَامُ ٱلْمَلِكِ عَلَى يُوآبَ. فَخَرَجَ يُوآبُ وَطَافَ فِي كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٤ 4 |
Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
| فَدَفَعَ يُوآبُ جُمْلَةَ عَدَدِ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ، فَكَانَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَلْفَ أَلْفٍ وَمِئَةَ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ مُسْتَلِّي ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَيَهُوذَا أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ مُسْتَلِّي ٱلسَّيْفِ، | ٥ 5 |
And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.
| وَأَمَّا لَاوِي وَبَنْيَامِينُ فَلَمْ يَعُدَّهُمْ مَعَهُمْ لِأَنَّ كَلَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ كَانَ مَكْرُوهًا لَدَى يُوآبَ. | ٦ 6 |
But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.
| وَقَبُحَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱللهِ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ فَضَرَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ 7 |
And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلهِ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ جِدًّا حَيْثُ عَمِلْتُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ. وَٱلْآنَ أَزِلْ إِثْمَ عَبْدِكَ لِأَنِّي سَفِهْتُ جِدًّا». | ٨ 8 |
And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing: but now, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
| فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ جَادَ رَائِيَ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: | ٩ 9 |
And Jehovah spake unto Gad, David’s seer, saying,
| «ٱذْهَبْ وَكَلِّمْ دَاوُدَ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ثَلَاثَةً أَنَا عَارِضٌ عَلَيْكَ فَٱخْتَرْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَاحِدًا مِنْهَا فَأَفْعَلَهُ بِكَ». | ١٠ 10 |
Go and speak unto David, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
| فَجَاءَ جَادُ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱقْبَلْ لِنَفْسِكَ: | ١١ 11 |
So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Take which thou wilt:
| إِمَّا ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ جُوعٌ، أَوْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ هَلَاكٌ أَمَامَ مُضَايِقِيكَ وَسَيْفُ أَعْدَائِكَ يُدْرِكُكَ، أَوْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَكُونُ فِيهَا سَيْفُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَوَبَأٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَعْثُو فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَٱنْظُرِ ٱلْآنَ مَاذَا أَرُدُّ جَوَابًا لِمُرْسِلِي». | ١٢ 12 |
either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before thy foes, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of Jehovah, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِجَادٍ: «قَدْ ضَاقَ بِيَ ٱلْأَمْرُ جِدًّا. دَعْنِي أَسْقُطْ فِي يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَلَا أَسْقُطُ فِي يَدِ إِنْسَانٍ». | ١٣ 13 |
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Jehovah; for very great are his mercies: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
| فَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَبَأً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَسَقَطَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
So Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
| وَأَرْسَلَ ٱللهُ مَلَاكًا عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِإِهْلَاكِهَا، وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُهْلِكُ رَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ فَنَدِمَ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِّ، وَقَالَ لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلْمُهْلِكِ: «كَفَى ٱلْآنَ، رُدَّ يَدَكَ». وَكَانَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفًا عِنْدَ بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ. | ١٥ 15 |
And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was about to destroy, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay thy hand. And the angel of Jehovah was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
| وَرَفَعَ دَاوُدُ عَيْنَيْهِ فَرَأَى مَلَاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَسَيْفُهُ مَسْلُولٌ بِيَدِهِ وَمَمْدُودٌ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. فَسَقَطَ دَاوُدُ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ مُكْتَسِينَ بِٱلْمُسُوحِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah standing between earth and heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلهِ: «أَلَسْتُ أَنَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَ بِإِحْصَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ وَأَنَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْطَأَ وَأَسَاءَ، وَأَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْخِرَافُ فَمَاذَا عَمِلُوا؟ فَأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي لِتَكُنْ يَدُكَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي لَا عَلَى شَعْبِكَ لِضَرْبِهِمْ». | ١٧ 17 |
And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O Jehovah my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against thy people, that they should be plagued.
| فَكَلَّمَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ جَادَ أَنْ يَقُولَ لِدَاوُدَ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ دَاوُدُ لِيُقِيمَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ فِي بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ. | ١٨ 18 |
Then the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
| فَصَعِدَ دَاوُدُ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ جَادَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٩ 19 |
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of Jehovah.
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ أُرْنَانُ فَرَأَى ٱلْمَلَاكَ. وَبَنُوهُ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ مَعَهُ ٱخْتَبَأُوا، وَكَانَ أُرْنَانُ يَدْرُسُ حِنْطَةً. | ٢٠ 20 |
And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
| وَجَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى أُرْنَانَ. وَتَطَلَّعَ أُرْنَانُ فَرَأَى دَاوُدَ، وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْدَرِ وَسَجَدَ لِدَاوُدَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأُرْنَانَ: «أَعْطِنِي مَكَانَ ٱلْبَيْدَرِ فَأَبْنِيَ فِيهِ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. بِفِضَّةٍ كَامِلَةٍ أَعْطِنِي إِيَّاهُ، فَتَكُفَّ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ عَنِ ٱلشَّعْبِ». | ٢٢ 22 |
Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto Jehovah: for the full price shalt thou give it me, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
| فَقَالَ أُرْنَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «خُذْهُ لِنَفْسِكَ، وَلْيَفْعَلْ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُ ٱلْبَقَرَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ، وَٱلنَّوَارِجَ لِلْوَقُودِ، وَٱلْحِنْطَةَ لِلتَّقْدِمَةِ. ٱلْجَمِيعَ أَعْطَيْتُ». | ٢٣ 23 |
And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give [thee] the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ لِأُرْنَانَ: «لَا! بَلْ شِرَاءً أَشْتَرِيهِ بِفِضَّةٍ كَامِلَةٍ، لِأَنِّي لَا آخُذُ مَا لَكَ لِلرَّبِّ فَأُصْعِدَ مُحْرَقَةً مَجَّانِيَّةً». | ٢٤ 24 |
And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost.
| وَدَفَعَ دَاوُدُ لِأُرْنَانَ عَنِ ٱلْمَكَانِ ذَهَبًا وَزْنُهُ سِتُّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
| وَبَنَى دَاوُدُ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ، وَأَصْعَدَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ، وَدَعَا ٱلرَّبَّ فَأَجَابَهُ بِنَارٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And David built there an altar unto Jehovah, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
| وَأَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَلَاكَ فَرَدَّ سَيْفَهُ إِلَى غِمْدِهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And Jehovah commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
| فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ لَمَّا رَأَى دَاوُدُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَجَابَهُ فِي بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ ذَبَحَ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
At that time, when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
| وَمَسْكَنُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ مُوسَى فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَمَذْبَحُ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ كَانَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ فِي ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةِ فِي جِبْعُونَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
For the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
| وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ دَاوُدُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى أَمَامِهِ لِيَسْأَلَ ٱللهَ لِأَنَّهُ خَافَ مِنْ جِهَةِ سَيْفِ مَلَاكِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣٠ 30 |
But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.
