١ أخبار 21
| وَوَقَفَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ ضِدَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَغْوَى دَاوُدَ لِيُحْصِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ 1 |
And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked 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 rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer–sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
| 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 answered, Yhwh make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to 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 the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an 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, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
| فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ جَادَ رَائِيَ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: | ٩ 9 |
And Yhwh 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 tell David, saying, Thus saith Yhwh, 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 Yhwh, Choose thee
| 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’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of Yhwh, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of Yhwh destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again 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 now into the hand of Yhwh; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.
| فَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَبَأً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَسَقَطَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
So Yhwh sent 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 destroying, Yhwh beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of Yhwh stood by the threshingfloor 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 Yhwh stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were 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 evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O Yhwh my God, be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on 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 Yhwh commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto Yhwh in the threshingfloor 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 Yhwh.
| 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 with him hid themselves, but Ornan continued 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 threshingfloor, 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, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto Yhwh: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: 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 also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the grain 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 Yhwh, nor offer burnt offerings 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 Yhwh, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon Yhwh; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
| وَأَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَلَاكَ فَرَدَّ سَيْفَهُ إِلَى غِمْدِهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And Yhwh 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 Yhwh had answered him in the threshingfloor 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 Yhwh, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season 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 enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Yhwh.
