صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 10

١ 1 وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ مَلِكَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ مَاتَ، وَمَلَكَ حَانُونُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And it was after thus and he died [the] king of [the] people of Ammon and he reigned Hanun son his in place his.

٢ 2 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «أَصْنَعُ مَعْرُوفًا مَعَ حَانُونَ بْنِ نَاحَاشَ كَمَا صَنَعَ أَبُوهُ مَعِي مَعْرُوفًا». فَأَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ بِيَدِ عَبِيدِهِ يُعَزِّيهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ. فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى أَرْضِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.

And he said David I will do covenant loyalty - with Hanun [the] son of Nahash just as he did father his with me covenant loyalty and he sent David to comfort him by [the] hand of servants his concerning father his and they came [the] servants of David [the] land of [the] people of Ammon.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ رُؤَسَاءُ بَنِي عَمُّونَ لِحَانُونَ سَيِّدِهِمْ: «هَلْ يُكْرِمُ دَاوُدُ أَبَاكَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ حَتَّى أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْكَ مُعَزِّينَ؟ أَلَيْسَ لِأَجْلِ فَحْصِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَتَجَسُّسِهَا وَقَلْبِهَا، أَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ عَبِيدَهُ إِلَيْكَ؟»

And they said [the] leaders of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun lord their ¿ honoring [is] David father your in view your for he has sent to you comforters ¿ not in order to explore the city and to spy on it and to overthrow it has he sent David servants his to you.

٤ 4 فَأَخَذَ حَانُونُ عَبِيدَ دَاوُدَ وَحَلَقَ أَنْصَافَ لِحَاهُمْ، وَقَصَّ ثِيَابَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْوَسَطِ إِلَى أَسْتَاهِهِمْ، ثُمَّ أَطْلَقَهُمْ.

And he took Hanun [the] servants of David and he shaved half of beard their and he cut off robes their at the middle to buttocks their and he sent away them.

٥ 5 وَلَمَّا أَخْبَرُوا دَاوُدَ أَرْسَلَ لِلِقَائِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرِّجَالَ كَانُوا خَجِلِينَ جِدًّا. وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «أَقِيمُوا فِي أَرِيحَا حَتَّى تَنْبُتَ لِحَاكُمْ ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعُوا».

And people told to David and he sent to meet them for they were the men humiliated very and he said the king remain at Jericho until it will grow back beard your and you will return.

٦ 6 وَلَمَّا رَأَى بَنُو عَمُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَنْتَنُوا عِنْدَ دَاوُدَ، أَرْسَلَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ وَٱسْتَأْجَرُوا أَرَامَ بَيْتِ رَحُوبَ وَأَرَامَ صُوبَا، عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَاجِلٍ، وَمِنْ مَلِكِ مَعْكَةَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ، وَرِجَالَ طُوبَ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ.

And they saw [the] people of Ammon that they had made themselves odious with David and they sent [the] people of Ammon and they hired Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah twenty thousand foot soldier[s] and [the] king of Maacah one thousand man and [the] man of Tob two [plus] ten thousand man.

٧ 7 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ دَاوُدُ أَرْسَلَ يُوآبَ وَكُلَّ جَيْشِ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ.

And he heard David and he sent Joab and all the army the warriors.

٨ 8 وَخَرَجَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ وَٱصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ عْنْدَ مَدْخَلِ ٱلْبَابِ، وَكَانَ أَرَامُ صُوبَا وَرَحُوبُ وَرِجَالُ طُوبَ وَمَعْكَةَ وَحْدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ.

And they went out [the] people of Ammon and they deployed battle [the] entrance of the gate and Aram Zobah and Rehob and [the] man of Tob and Maacah to alone them [were] in the open country.

٩ 9 فَلَمَّا رَأَى يُوآبُ أَنَّ مُقَدَّمَةَ ٱلْحَرْبِ كَانَتْ نَحْوَهُ مِنْ قُدَّامٍ وَمِنْ وَرَاءٍ، ٱخْتَارَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُنْتَخَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَصَفَّهُمْ لِلِقَاءِ أَرَامَ

And he saw Joab that it was against him [the] face of the battle from before and from behind and he chose some of all [the] chosen [men] (of Israel *Q(K)*) and he deployed [them] to meet Aram.

١٠ 10 وَسَلَّمَ بَقِيَّةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِيَدِ أَخِيهِ أَبِيشَايَ، فَصَفَّهُمْ لِلِقَاءِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.

And [the] rest of the people he put in [the] hand of Abishai brother his and he deployed [them] to meet [the] people of Ammon.

١١ 11 وَقَالَ: «إِنْ قَوِيَ أَرَامُ عَلَيَّ تَكُونُ لِي مُنْجِدًا، وَإِنْ قَوِيَ عَلَيْكَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ أَذْهَبُ لِنَجْدَتِكَ.

And he said if it will be [too] strong Aram for me and you will become of me deliverance and if [the] people of Ammon they will be [too] strong for you and I will come to deliver you.

١٢ 12 تَجَلَّدْ وَلْنَتَشَدَّدْ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِنَا وَمِنْ أَجْلِ مُدُنِ إِلَهِنَا، وَٱلرَّبُّ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ».

Be strong so we may show ourselves strong for people our and for [the] cities of God our and Yahweh he will do the good in view his.

١٣ 13 فَتَقَدَّمَ يُوآبُ وَٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ لِمُحَارَبَةِ أَرَامَ فَهَرَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِهِ.

And he drew near Joab and the people which [was] with him for battle in Aram and they fled from before him.

١٤ 14 وَلَمَّا رَأَى بَنُو عَمُّونَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ هَرَبَ أَرَامُ، هَرَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِ أَبِيشَايَ وَدَخَلُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. فَرَجَعَ يُوآبُ عَنْ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَأَتَى إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And [the] people of Ammon they saw that it had fled Aram and they fled from before Abishai and they went the city and he returned Joab from on [the] people of Ammon and he came Jerusalem.

١٥ 15 وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَرَامُ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِ ٱنْكَسَرُوا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱجْتَمَعُوا مَعًا.

And it saw Aram that it was defeated before Israel and they gathered themselves together.

١٦ 16 وَأَرْسَلَ هَدَرُ عَزَرَ فَأَبْرَزَ أَرَامَ ٱلَّذِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، فَأَتَوْا إِلَى حِيلَامَ وَأَمَامَهُمْ شُوبَكُ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِ هَدَرِ عَزَرَ.

And he sent Hadadezer and he brought out Aram which [was] from [the] other side of the River and they came Helam and Shobach [the] commander of [the] army of Hadadezer [was] before them.

١٧ 17 وَلَمَّا أُخْبِرَ دَاوُدُ، جَمَعَ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَبَرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ وَجَاءَ إِلَى حِيلَامَ، فَٱصْطَفَّ أَرَامُ لِلِقَاءِ دَاوُدَ وَحَارَبُوهُ.
