صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 17
| وَقَالَ أَخِيتُوفَلُ لِأَبْشَالُومَ: «دَعْنِي أَنْتَخِبُ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ وَأَقُومُ وَأَسْعَى وَرَاءَ دَاوُدَ هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ، | ١ 1 |
Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
| فَآتِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ مُتْعَبٌ وَمُرْتَخِي ٱلْيَدَيْنِ فَأُزْعِجُهُ، فَيَهْرُبَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ، وَأَضْرِبُ ٱلْمَلِكَ وَحْدَهُ. | ٢ 2 |
And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will strike the king only:
| وَأَرُدَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَيْكَ. كَرُجُوعِ ٱلْجَمِيعِ هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي تَطْلُبُهُ، فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي سَلَامٍ». | ٣ 3 |
And I will bring back all the people unto you: the man whom you seek is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.
| فَحَسُنَ ٱلْأَمْرُ فِي عَيْنَيْ أَبْشَالُومَ وَأَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤ 4 |
And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
| فَقَالَ أَبْشَالُومُ: «ٱدْعُ أَيْضًا حُوشَايَ ٱلْأَرْكِيَّ فَنَسْمَعَ مَا يَقُولُ هُوَ أَيْضًا». | ٥ 5 |
Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he says.
| فَلَمَّا جَاءَ حُوشَايُ إِلَى أَبْشَالُومَ، كَلَّمَهُ أَبْشَالُومُ قَائِلًا: «بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ تَكَلَّمَ أَخِيتُوفَلُ. أَنَعْمَلُ حَسَبَ كَلَامِهِ أَمْ لَا؟ تَكَلَّمْ أَنْتَ». | ٦ 6 |
And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spoke unto him, saying, Ahithophel has spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak you.
| فَقَالَ حُوشَايُ لِأَبْشَالُومَ: «لَيْسَتْ حَسَنَةً ٱلْمَشُورَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَشَارَ بِهَا أَخِيتُوفَلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ». | ٧ 7 |
And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time.
| ثُمَ قَالَ حُوشَايُ: «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَبَاكَ وَرِجَالَهُ أَنَّهُمْ جَبَابِرَةٌ، وَأَنَّ أَنْفُسَهُمْ مُرَّةٌ كَدُبَّةٍ مُثْكِلٍ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. وَأَبُوكَ رَجُلُ قِتَالٍ وَلَا يَبِيتُ مَعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٨ 8 |
For, said Hushai, you know your father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and your father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
| هَا هُوَ ٱلْآنَ مُخْتَبِئٌ فِي إِحْدَى ٱلْحُفَرِ أَوْ أَحَدِ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ. وَيَكُونُ إِذَا سَقَطَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي ٱلِٱبْتِدَاءِ أَنَّ ٱلسَّامِعَ يَسْمَعُ فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ صَارَتْ كَسْرَةٌ فِي ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي وَرَاءَ أَبْشَالُومَ. | ٩ 9 |
Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever hears it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
| أَيْضًا ذُو ٱلْبَأْسِ ٱلَّذِي قَلْبُهُ كَقَلْبِ ٱلْأَسَدِ يَذُوبُ ذَوَبَانًا، لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ أَبَاكَ جَبَّارٌ، وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ ذَوُو بَأْسٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men.
| لِذَلِكَ أُشِيرُ بِأَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ إِلَيْكَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دَانَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، كَٱلرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ، وَحَضْرَتُكَ سَائِرٌ فِي ٱلْوَسَطِ. | ١١ 11 |
Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto you, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that you go to battle in your own person.
| وَنَأْتِيَ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى أَحَدِ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ حَيْثُ هُوَ، وَنَنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ نُزُولَ ٱلطَّلِّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا يَبْقَى مِنْهُ وَلَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَاحِدٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falls on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.
| وَإِذَا ٱنْحَازَ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ، يَحْمِلُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ حِبَالًا، فَنَجُرُّهَا إِلَى ٱلْوَادِي حَتَّى لَا تَبْقَى هُنَاكَ وَلَا حَصَاةٌ». | ١٣ 13 |
Moreover, if he be got into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
| فَقَالَ أَبْشَالُومُ وَكُلُّ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «إِنَّ مَشُورَةَ حُوشَايَ ٱلْأَرْكِيِّ أَحْسَنُ مِنْ مَشُورَةِ أَخِيتُوفَلَ». فَإِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَرَ بِإِبْطَالِ مَشُورَةِ أَخِيتُوفَلَ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ، لِكَيْ يُنْزِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلشَّرَّ بِأَبْشَالُومَ. | ١٤ 14 |
And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
| وَقَالَ حُوشَايُ لِصَادُوقَ وَأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَيْنِ: «كَذَا وَكَذَا أَشَارَ أَخِيتُوفَلُ عَلَى أَبْشَالُومَ وَعَلَى شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَذَا وَكَذَا أَشَرْتُ أَنَا. | ١٥ 15 |
Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
| فَٱلْآنَ أَرْسِلُوا عَاجِلًا وَأَخْبِرُوا دَاوُدَ قَائِلِينَ: لَا تَبِتْ هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ فِي سُهُولِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، بَلِ ٱعْبُرْ لِئَلَّا يُبْتَلَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ». | ١٦ 16 |
Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
| وَكَانَ يُونَاثَانُ وَأَخِيمَعَصُ وَاقِفَيْنِ عِنْدَ عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ، فَٱنْطَلَقَتِ ٱلْجَارِيَةُ وَأَخْبَرَتْهُمَا، وَهُمَا ذَهَبَا وَأَخْبَرَا ٱلْمَلِكَ دَاوُدَ، لِأَنَّهُمَا لَمْ يَقْدِرَا أَنْ يُرَيَا دَاخِلَيْنِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a maid servant went and told them; and they went and told king David.
| فَرَآهُمَا غُلَامٌ وَأَخْبَرَ أَبْشَالُومَ. فَذَهَبَا كِلَاهُمَا عَاجِلًا وَدَخَلَا بَيْتَ رَجُلٍ فِي بَحُورِيمَ وَلَهُ بِئْرٌ فِي دَارِهِ، فَنَزَلَا إِلَيْهَا. | ١٨ 18 |
Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; where they went down.
| فَأَخَذَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَفَرَشَتْ سَجْفًا عَلَى فَمِ ٱلْبِئْرِ وَسَطَحَتْ عَلَيْهِ سَمِيذًا فَلَمْ يُعْلَمِ ٱلْأَمْرُ. | ١٩ 19 |
And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known.
| فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ أَبْشَالُومَ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَقَالُوا: «أَيْنَ أَخِيمَعَصُ وَيُونَاثَانُ؟» فَقَالَتْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «قَدْ عَبَرَا قَنَاةَ ٱلْمَاءِ». وَلَمَّا فَتَّشُوا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُمَا رَجَعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
| وَبَعْدَ ذِهَابِهِمْ خَرَجَا مِنَ ٱلْبِئْرِ وَذَهَبَا وَأَخْبَرَا ٱلْمَلِكَ دَاوُدَ، وَقَالَا لِدَاوُدَ: «قُومُوا وَٱعْبُرُوا سَرِيعًا ٱلْمَاءَ، لِأَنَّ هَكَذَا أَشَارَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَخِيتُوفَلُ». | ٢١ 21 |
And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus has Ahithophel counselled against you.
| فَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ وَعَبَرُوا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ. وَعِنْدَ ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ لَمْ يَعْبُرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
| وَأَمَّا أَخِيتُوفَلُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّ مَشُورَتَهُ لَمْ يُعْمَلْ بِهَا، شَدَّ عَلَى ٱلْحِمَارِ وَقَامَ وَٱنْطَلَقَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ، وَأَوْصَى لِبَيْتِهِ، وَخَنَقَ نَفْسَهُ وَمَاتَ وَدُفِنَ فِي قَبْرِ أَبِيهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and got him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.
| وَجَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى مَحَنَايِمَ. وَعَبَرَ أَبْشَالُومُ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
| وَأَقَامَ أَبْشَالُومُ عَمَاسَا بَدَلَ يُوآبَ عَلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ. وَكَانَ عَمَاسَا ٱبْنَ رَجُلٍ ٱسْمُهُ يِثْرَا ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّ ٱلَّذِي دَخَلَ إِلَى أَبِيجَايِلَ بِنْتِ نَاحَاشَ أُخْتِ صَرُويَةَ أُمِّ يُوآبَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother.
| وَنَزَلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَأَبْشَالُومُ فِي أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا جَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى مَحَنَايِمَ أَنَّ شُوبِيَ بْنَ نَاحَاشَ مِنْ رَبَّةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَمَاكِيرَ بْنَ عَمِّيئِيلَ مِنْ لُودَبَارَ، وَبَرْزَلَّايَ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيَّ مِنْ رُوجَلِيمَ، | ٢٧ 27 |
And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
| قَدَّمُوا فَرْشًا وَطُسُوسًا وَآنِيَةَ خَزَفٍ وَحِنْطَةً وَشَعِيرًا وَدَقِيقًا وَفَرِيكًا وَفُولًا وَعَدَسًا وَحِمِّصًا مَشْوِيًّا | ٢٨ 28 |
Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and parched vegetables,
| وَعَسَلًا وَزُبْدَةً وَضَأْنًا وَجُبْنَ بَقَرٍ، لِدَاوُدَ وَلِلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ لِيَأْكُلُوا، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «ٱلشَّعْبُ جَوْعَانُ وَمُتْعَبٌ وَعَطْشَانُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ». | ٢٩ 29 |
And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of cattle, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
