صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 12
| فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ نَاثَانَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ. فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «كَانَ رَجُلَانِ فِي مَدِينَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا غَنِيٌّ وَٱلْآخَرُ فَقِيرٌ. | ١ 1 |
And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him: 'There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor.
| وَكَانَ لِلْغَنِيِّ غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدًّا. | ٢ 2 |
The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds;
| وَأَمَّا ٱلْفَقِيرُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَيْءٌ إِلَا نَعْجَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ قَدِ ٱقْتَنَاهَا وَرَبَّاهَا وَكَبُرَتْ مَعَهُ وَمَعَ بَنِيهِ جَمِيعًا. تَأْكُلُ مِنْ لُقْمَتِهِ وَتَشْرَبُ مِنْ كَأْسِهِ وَتَنَامُ فِي حِضْنِهِ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ كَٱبْنَةٍ. | ٣ 3 |
but the poor man had nothing save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and reared; and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
| فَجَاءَ ضَيْفٌ إِلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْغَنِيِّ، فَعَفَا أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ غَنَمِهِ وَمِنْ بَقَرِهِ لِيُهَيِّئَ لِلضَّيْفِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَخَذَ نَعْجَةَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْفَقِيرِ وَهَيَّأَ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ». | ٤ 4 |
And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him, but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.'
| فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ دَاوُدَ عَلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ جِدًّا، وَقَالَ لِنَاثَانَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْفَاعِلُ ذَلِكَ، | ٥ 5 |
And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan: 'As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this deserveth to die;
| وَيَرُدُّ ٱلنَّعْجَةَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ لِأَنَّهُ فَعَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ وَلِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُشْفِقْ». | ٦ 6 |
and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.'
| فَقَالَ نَاثَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ! هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنَا مَسَحْتُكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَنْقَذْتُكَ مِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ، | ٧ 7 |
And Nathan said to David: 'Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
| وَأَعْطَيْتُكَ بَيْتَ سَيِّدِكَ وَنِسَاءَ سَيِّدِكَ فِي حِضْنِكَ، وَأَعْطَيْتُكَ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا. وَإِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ قَلِيلًا، كُنْتُ أَزِيدُ لَكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا. | ٨ 8 |
and I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that were too little, then would I add unto thee so much more.
| لِمَاذَا ٱحْتَقَرْتَ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِتَعْمَلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ؟ قَدْ قَتَلْتَ أُورِيَّا ٱلْحِثِّيَّ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَخَذْتَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ لَكَ ٱمْرَأَةً، وَإِيَّاهُ قَتَلْتَ بِسَيْفِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. | ٩ 9 |
Wherefore hast thou despised the word of the LORD, to do that which is evil in My sight? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten with the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to be thy wife, and him thou hast slain with the sword of the children of Ammon.
| وَٱلْآنَ لَا يُفَارِقُ ٱلسَّيْفُ بَيْتَكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِأَنَّكَ ٱحْتَقَرْتَنِي وَأَخَذْتَ ٱمْرَأَةَ أُورِيَّا ٱلْحِثِّيِّ لِتَكُونَ لَكَ ٱمْرَأَةً. | ١٠ 10 |
Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from thy house; because thou hast despised Me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُقِيمُ عَلَيْكَ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ، وَآخُذُ نِسَاءَكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ وَأُعْطِيهِنَّ لِقَرِيبِكَ، فَيَضْطَجِعُ مَعَ نِسَائِكَ فِي عَيْنِ هَذِهِ ٱلشَّمْسِ. | ١١ 11 |
Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
| لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ بِٱلسِّرِّ وَأَنَا أَفْعَلُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ قُدَّامَ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُدَّامَ ٱلشَّمْسِ». | ١٢ 12 |
For thou didst it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِنَاثَانَ: «قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ». فَقَالَ نَاثَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «ٱلرَّبُّ أَيْضًا قَدْ نَقَلَ عَنْكَ خَطِيَّتَكَ. لَا تَمُوتُ. | ١٣ 13 |
And David said unto Nathan: 'I have sinned against the LORD.' And Nathan said unto David: 'The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ قَدْ جَعَلْتَ بِهَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ أَعْدَاءَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَشْمَتُونَ، فَٱلِٱبْنُ ٱلْمَوْلُودُ لَكَ يَمُوتُ». | ١٤ 14 |
Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast greatly blasphemed the enemies of the LORD, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.'
| وَذَهَبَ نَاثَانُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ. وَضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْوَلَدَ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أُورِيَّا لِدَاوُدَ فَثَقِلَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore unto David, and it was very sick.
| فَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ ٱللهَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلصَّبِيِّ، وَصَامَ دَاوُدُ صَوْمًا، وَدَخَلَ وَبَاتَ مُضْطَجِعًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٦ 16 |
David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and as often as he went in, he lay all night upon the earth.
| فَقَامَ شُيُوخُ بَيْتِهِ عَلَيْهِ لِيُقِيمُوهُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَلَمْ يَشَأْ، وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مَعَهُمْ خُبْزًا. | ١٧ 17 |
And the elders of his house arose, and stood beside him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ أَنَّ ٱلْوَلَدَ مَاتَ، فَخَافَ عَبِيدُ دَاوُدَ أَنْ يُخْبِرُوهُ بِأَنَّ ٱلْوَلَدَ قَدْ مَاتَ لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «هُوَذَا لَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْوَلَدُ حَيًّا كَلَّمْنَاهُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِنَا. فَكَيْفَ نَقُولُ لَهُ: قَدْ مَاتَ ٱلْوَلَدُ؟ يَعْمَلُ أَشَرَّ!». | ١٨ 18 |
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said: 'Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice; how then shall we tell him that the child is dead, so that he do himself some harm?'
| وَرَأَى دَاوُدُ عَبِيدَهُ يَتَنَاجَوْنَ، فَفَطِنَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ ٱلْوَلَدَ قَدْ مَاتَ. فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «هَلْ مَاتَ ٱلْوَلَدُ؟» فَقَالُوا: «مَاتَ». | ١٩ 19 |
But when David saw that his servants whispered together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said unto his servants: 'Is the child dead?' And they said: 'He is dead.'
| فَقَامَ دَاوُدُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱغْتَسَلَ وَٱدَّهَنَ وَبَدَّلَ ثِيَابَهُ وَدَخَلَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَسَجَدَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَطَلَبَ فَوَضَعُوا لَهُ خُبْزًا فَأَكَلَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel; and he came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped; then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلْتَ؟ لَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْوَلَدُ حَيًّا صُمْتَ وَبَكَيْتَ، وَلَمَّا مَاتَ ٱلْوَلَدُ قُمْتَ وَأَكَلْتَ خُبْزًا». | ٢١ 21 |
Then said his servants unto him: 'What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.'
| فَقَالَ: «لَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْوَلَدُ حَيًّا صُمْتُ وَبَكَيْتُ لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ: مَنْ يَعْلَمُ؟ رُبَّمَا يَرْحَمُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ وَيَحْيَا ٱلْوَلَدُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And he said: 'While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said: Who knoweth whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?
| وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ مَاتَ، فَلِمَاذَا أَصُومُ؟ هَلْ أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَرُدَّهُ بَعْدُ؟ أَنَا ذَاهِبٌ إِلَيْهِ وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَلَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيَّ». | ٢٣ 23 |
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.'
| وَعَزَّى دَاوُدُ بَثْشَبَعَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ، وَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهَا وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا، فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَٱلرَّبُّ أَحَبَّهُ، | ٢٤ 24 |
And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her; and she bore a son, and called his name Solomon. And the LORD loved him;
| وَأَرْسَلَ بِيَدِ نَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «يَدِيدِيَّا» مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٥ 25 |
and He sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he called his name Jedidiah, for the LORD'S sake.
| وَحَارَبَ يُوآبُ رِبَّةَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَأَخَذَ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
| وَأَرْسَلَ يُوآبُ رُسُلًا إِلَى دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ: «قَدْ حَارَبْتُ رِبَّةَ وَأَخَذْتُ أَيْضًا مَدِينَةَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said: 'I have fought against Rabbah, yea, I have taken the city of waters.
| فَٱلْآنَ ٱجْمَعْ بَقِيَّةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱنْزِلْ عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَخُذْهَا لِئَلَّا آخُذَ أَنَا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ فَيُدْعَى بِٱسْمِي عَلَيْهَا». | ٢٨ 28 |
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.'
| فَجَمَعَ دَاوُدُ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى رِبَّةَ وَحَارَبَهَا وَأَخَذَهَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
| وَأَخَذَ تَاجَ مَلِكِهِمْ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ، وَوَزْنُهُ وَزْنَةٌ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ مَعَ حَجَرٍ كَرِيمٍ، وَكَانَ عَلَى رَأْسِ دَاوُدَ. وَأَخْرَجَ غَنِيمَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَثِيرَةً جِدًّا. | ٣٠ 30 |
And he took the crown of Malcam from off his head; and the weight thereof was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
| وَأَخْرَجَ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي فِيهَا وَوَضَعَهُمْ تَحْتَ مَنَاشِيرَ وَنَوَارِجِ حَدِيدٍ وَفُؤُوسِ حَدِيدٍ وَأَمَرَّهُمْ فِي أَتُونِ ٱلْآجُرِّ، وَهَكَذَا صَنَعَ بِجَمِيعِ مُدُنِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. ثُمَّ رَجَعَ دَاوُدُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٣١ 31 |
And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln; and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
