صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 5

١ 1 وَجَاءَ جَمِيعُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ، إِلَى حَبْرُونَ، وَتَكَلَّمُوا قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا عَظْمُكَ وَلَحْمُكَ نَحْنُ.

Then came all the tribes of Israel to Dauid vnto Hebron, and said thus, Beholde, we are thy bones and thy flesh.

٢ 2 وَمُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ، حِينَ كَانَ شَاوُلُ مَلِكًا عَلَيْنَا، قَدْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ تُخْرِجُ وَتُدْخِلُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَقَدْ قَالَ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَنْتَ تَرْعَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ رَئِيسًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ».

And in time past when Saul was our King, thou leddest Israel in and out: and the Lord hath sayde to thee, Thou shalt feede my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captaine ouer Israel.

٣ 3 وَجَاءَ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِلَى حَبْرُونَ، فَقَطَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدًا فِي حَبْرُونَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَمَسَحُوا دَاوُدَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.

So all the Elders of Israel came to the King to Hebron: and King Dauid made a couenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel.

٤ 4 كَانَ دَاوُدُ ٱبْنَ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

Dauid was thirtie yeere olde when he began to reigne: and hee reigned fortie yeere.

٥ 5 فِي حَبْرُونَ مَلَكَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ وَسِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ. وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَلَكَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا.

In Hebron hee reigned ouer Iudah seuen yeere, and sixe moneths: and in Ierusalem hee reigned thirtie and three yeeres ouer all Israel and Iudah.

٦ 6 وَذَهَبَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَرِجَالُهُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَكَلَّمُوا دَاوُدَ قَائِلِينَ: «لَا تَدْخُلْ إِلَى هُنَا، مَا لَمْ تَنْزِعِ ٱلْعُمْيَانَ وَٱلْعُرْجَ». أَيْ لَا يَدْخُلُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى هُنَا.

The King also and his men went to Ierusalem vnto the Iebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spake vnto Dauid, saying, Except thou take away the blinde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking that Dauid coulde not come thither.

٧ 7 وَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ حِصْنَ صِهْيَوْنَ، هِيَ مَدِينَةُ دَاوُدَ.

But Dauid tooke the fort of Zion: this is the citie of Dauid.

٨ 8 وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ: «إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَضْرِبُ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ وَيَبْلُغُ إِلَى ٱلْقَنَاةِ وَٱلْعُرْجِ وَٱلْعُمْيِ ٱلْمُبْغَضِينَ مِنْ نَفْسِ دَاوُدَ». لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُونَ: «لَا يَدْخُلِ ٱلْبَيْتَ أَعْمَى أَوْ أَعْرَجُ».

Nowe Dauid had sayd the same day, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites, and getteth vp to the gutters and smiteth the lame and blinde, which Dauids soule hateth, I will preferre him: therefore they saide, The blinde and the lame shall not come into that house.

٩ 9 وَأَقَامَ دَاوُدُ فِي ٱلْحِصْنِ وَسَمَّاهُ «مَدِينَةَ دَاوُدَ». وَبَنَى دَاوُدُ مُسْتَدِيرًا مِنَ ٱلْقَلْعَةِ فَدَاخِلًا.

So Dauid dwelt in that forte, and called it the citie of Dauid, and Dauid built rounde about it, from Millo, and inward.

١٠ 10 وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَتَزَايَدُ مُتَعَظِّمًا، وَٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ مَعَهُ.

And Dauid prospered and grewe: for the Lord God of hostes was with him.

١١ 11 وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ رُسُلًا إِلَى دَاوُدَ، وَخَشَبَ أَرْزٍ وَنَجَّارِينَ وَبَنَّائِينَ فَبَنَوْا لِدَاوُدَ بَيْتًا.

Hiram also king of Tyrus sent messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walles: and they built Dauid an house.

١٢ 12 وَعَلِمَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ ثَبَّتَهُ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنَّهُ قَدْ رَفَّعَ مُلْكَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Then Dauid knewe that the Lord had stablished him King ouer Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdome for his people Israels sake.

١٣ 13 وَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ أَيْضًا سَرَارِيَ وَنِسَاءً مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْدَ مَجِيئِهِ مِنْ حَبْرُونَ، فَوُلِدَ أَيْضًا لِدَاوُدَ بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ.

And Dauid tooke him more concubines and wiues out of Ierusalem, after hee was come from Hebron, and more sonnes and daughters were borne to Dauid.

١٤ 14 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ: شَمُّوعُ وَشُوبَابُ وَنَاثَانُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ،

And these bee the names of the sonnes that were borne vnto him in Ierusale: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Salomon,

١٥ 15 وَيِبْحَارُ وَأَلِيشُوعُ وَنَافَجُ وَيَافِيعُ،

And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Iaphia,

١٦ 16 وَأَلِيشَمَعُ وَأَلِيدَاعُ وَأَلِيفَلَطُ.

And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

١٧ 17 وَسَمِعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ مَسَحُوا دَاوُدَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَصَعِدَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لِيُفَتِّشُوا عَلَى دَاوُدَ. وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ دَاوُدُ نَزَلَ إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ.

But when the Philistims hearde that they had anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid: and when Dauid heard, he went downe to a fort.

١٨ 18 وَجَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَٱنْتَشَرُوا فِي وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ.

But the Philistims came, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.

١٩ 19 وَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «أَأَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟ أَتَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِي؟» فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ: «ٱصْعَدْ، لِأَنِّي دَفْعًا أَدْفَعُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لِيَدِكَ».

Then Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I goe vp to the Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into mine handes? And the Lord answered Dauid, Goe vp: for I will doubtlesse deliuer the Philistims into thine handes.

٢٠ 20 فَجَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَعْلِ فَرَاصِيمَ وَضَرَبَهُمْ دَاوُدُ هُنَاكَ، وَقَالَ: «قَدِ ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَعْدَائِي أَمَامِي كَٱقْتِحَامِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ». لِذَلِكَ دَعَى ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «بَعْلَ فَرَاصِيمَ».

Then Dauid came to Baal-perazim, and smote them there, and sayde, The Lord hath deuided mine enemies asunder before mee, as waters be deuided asunder: therefore he called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

٢١ 21 وَتَرَكُوا هُنَاكَ أَصْنَامَهُمْ فَنَزَعَهَا دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ.

And there they left their images, and Dauid and his men burnt them.

٢٢ 22 ثُمَّ عَادَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فَصَعِدُوا أَيْضًا وَٱنْتَشَرُوا فِي وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ.

Againe the Philistims came vp, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.

٢٣ 23 فَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَقَالَ: «لَا تَصْعَدْ، بَلْ دُرْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ، وَهَلُمَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مُقَابِلَ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُكَا،

And when Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, hee answered, Thou shalt not goe vp, but turne about behinde them, and come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.

٢٤ 24 وَعِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ خَطَوَاتٍ فِي رُؤُوسِ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُكَا، حِينَئِذٍ ٱحْتَرِصْ، لِأَنَّهُ إِذْ ذَاكَ يَخْرُجُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَامَكَ لِضَرْبِ مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ».

And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then remoue: for then shall the Lord goe out before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.

٢٥ 25 فَفَعَلَ دَاوُدُ كَذَلِكَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ جَبْعٍ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ جَازَرَ.

Then Dauid did so as the Lord had commanded him, and smote the Philistims from Geba, vntil thou come to Gazer.
