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 to him, Two men were once in one city, the one rich and the other poor.
| وَكَانَ لِلْغَنِيِّ غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدًّا. | ٢ 2 |
The rich man had flocks and herds, in great abundance.
| 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, which he had bought; and he nourished it, and it grew up with him and with his children together; of his bread it used to eat, and out of his cup it used to drink, and in his bosom it used to lie, and it was to 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 traveler unto the rich man; and he felt compunction to take from his own flocks and from his own herds to dress for the wayfarer that was come to him; but he took the ewe of the poor man, 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 the anger of David was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, surely the man that hath done this deserveth to die;
| وَيَرُدُّ ٱلنَّعْجَةَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ لِأَنَّهُ فَعَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ وَلِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُشْفِقْ». | ٦ 6 |
And the ewe he shall pay fourfold, for punishment that he hath done this thing, and because he had no compassion.
| فَقَالَ نَاثَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ! هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنَا مَسَحْتُكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَنْقَذْتُكَ مِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ، | ٧ 7 |
Then said Nathan to David, Thou art the man! Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, It is I who anointed thee as king over Israel, and it is I who 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 unto thee the house of thy master, and [put] the wives of thy master into thy bosom, and gave unto thee the house of Israel and Judah: and if this be too little, I could bestow on thee yet many more like these things.
| 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 what is evil in his eyes? Uriyah the Hittite hast thou smitten with the sword, and his wife hast thou taken unto thee for wife; but him hast thou 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 |
And now, the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever; for the reason that thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriyah 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 hath said the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy own house, and I will take away thy wives before thy eyes, and I will give them unto thy neighbor; and he shall lie with thy wives before the face of this sun.
| لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ بِٱلسِّرِّ وَأَنَا أَفْعَلُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ قُدَّامَ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُدَّامَ ٱلشَّمْسِ». | ١٢ 12 |
For thou hast done it in secret; but I will surely 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 |
Then said David unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, Also the Lord hath caused thy sin to pass away: thou shalt not die.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ قَدْ جَعَلْتَ بِهَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ أَعْدَاءَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَشْمَتُونَ، فَٱلِٱبْنُ ٱلْمَوْلُودُ لَكَ يَمُوتُ». | ١٤ 14 |
Nevertheless, because thou hast given great cause to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme through this thing, the child also that hath been born unto thee shall surely die.
| وَذَهَبَ نَاثَانُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ. وَضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْوَلَدَ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أُورِيَّا لِدَاوُدَ فَثَقِلَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Nathan went to his house; and the Lord struck the child that Uriyah's wife had born unto David, that it became very sick.
| فَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ ٱللهَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلصَّبِيِّ، وَصَامَ دَاوُدُ صَوْمًا، وَدَخَلَ وَبَاتَ مُضْطَجِعًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And David besought God in behalf of the lad; and David kept a fast, and came home, and lay over night upon the earth.
| فَقَامَ شُيُوخُ بَيْتِهِ عَلَيْهِ لِيُقِيمُوهُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَلَمْ يَشَأْ، وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مَعَهُمْ خُبْزًا. | ١٧ 17 |
And the elders of the house arose about him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he did not partake of any 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 were afraid to tell him, that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how then shall we say to him, The child is dead! he might do [himself] a hurt.
| 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 were whispering to each other, David understood that the child was dead; wherefore 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 |
David then rose up from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his garments, and went into the house of the Lord and prostrated himself; and then he came to his own house, and asked that they should set food before him, and he ate.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلْتَ؟ لَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْوَلَدُ حَيًّا صُمْتَ وَبَكَيْتَ، وَلَمَّا مَاتَ ٱلْوَلَدُ قُمْتَ وَأَكَلْتَ خُبْزًا». | ٢١ 21 |
And his servants then said unto him, What is this thing which thou hast done? On account of the child when living thou didst fast and weep; but as soon as the child was dead thou didst arise 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; because I said, Who knoweth, but that the Lord will 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 then? can I restore him again? I am going 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 he 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 called his name, Yedideyah in behalf of the Lord.
| وَحَارَبَ يُوآبُ رِبَّةَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَأَخَذَ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon, and captured 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, and have also captured the water-town.
| فَٱلْآنَ ٱجْمَعْ بَقِيَّةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱنْزِلْ عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَخُذْهَا لِئَلَّا آخُذَ أَنَا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ فَيُدْعَى بِٱسْمِي عَلَيْهَا». | ٢٨ 28 |
And now gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and capture it: lest I capture the city myself, and it be called by 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 captured 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 Malkam from off his head, and its weight was a talent of gold, and [on it was] a precious stone, and it was set on the head of David; and the booty of the city he brought out in great abundance.
| 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 the people that were therein he brought forward, and put them under saws, and under iron threshing-wagons, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through brick-kilns; and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of 'Ammon: and David returned with them with all the people unto Jerusalem.
