2 صَمُوئيل 14
| وَعَلِمَ يُوآبُ بْنُ صُرُوِيَّةَ أَنَّ قَلْبَ الْمَلِكِ مُتَشَوِّقٌ لأَبْشَالُومَ، | ١ 1 |
Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى يُوآبُ مِنْ تَقُوعَ امْرَأَةً حَكِيمَةً وَقَالَ لَهَا: «تَظَاهَرِي بِالْحُزْنِ، وَارْتَدِي ثِيَابَ الْحِدَادِ، وَلا تَتَطَيَّبِي، وَتَصَرَّفِي كَامْرَأَةٍ قَضَتْ أَيَّاماً طَوِيلَةً غَارِقَةً فِي أَحْزَانِهَا عَلَى فَقِيدٍ. | ٢ 2 |
And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray you, feign yourself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not yourself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:
| وَادْخُلِي لِمُقَابَلَةِ الْمَلِكِ، وَكَلِّمِيهِ بِمَا أُسِرُّهُ إِلَيْكِ». وَلَقَّنَهَا يُوآبُ مَا تَقُولُ. | ٣ 3 |
And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.
| وَمثَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ التَّقُوعِيَّةُ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ، وَخَرَّتْ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَتْ قَائِلَةً: «أَغِثْنِي أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ» | ٤ 4 |
And when the woman of Tekoah spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did reverence, and said, Help, O king.
| فَسَأَلَهَا الْمَلِكُ: «مَا شَأْنُكِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «أَنَا أَرْمَلَةٌ، مَاتَ رَجُلِي | ٥ 5 |
And the king said unto her, What disturbs you? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.
| مُخَلِّفاً لِي ابْنَيْنِ. فَتَخَاصَمَا فِي الْحَقْلِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَكُونَ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا. فَضَرَبَ أَحَدُهُمَا الآخَرَ وَقَتَلَهُ. | ٦ 6 |
And your handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one stroke the other, and slew him.
| وَهَا هِيَ الْعَشِيرَةُ قَاطِبَةً قَدْ قَامَتْ تُطَالِبُنِي بِتَسْلِيمِ الْقَاتِل لِمُعَاقَبَتِهِ جَزَاءً لَهُ عَلَى قَتْلِ أَخِيهِ وَبِذَلِكَ يَقْضُونَ عَلَى الْوَارِثِ. وَهَكَذَا يُطْفِئُونَ أَمَلِي الَّذِي بَقِيَ لِي، وَيَمْحُونَ اسْمَ زَوْجِي وَذِكْرِهُ مِنْ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ». | ٧ 7 |
And, behold, the whole family has risen against your handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that stroke his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «امْضِي إِلَى بَيْتِكِ وَأَنَا أُصْدِرُ قَرَاراً فِي أَمْرِكِ». | ٨ 8 |
And the king said unto the woman, Go to your house, and I will give charge concerning you.
| فَأَجَابَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: «لِيَقَعِ اللَّوْمُ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي، أَمَّا الْمَلِكُ وَعَرْشُهُ فَهُمَا بَرِيئَانِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَائِبَةٍ». | ٩ 9 |
And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «إِذَا اعْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكِ أَحَدٌ فَأَحْضِرِيهِ إِلَيَّ فَلا يَعُودَ يُسِيءُ إِلَيْكِ». | ١٠ 10 |
And the king said, Whoever says ought unto you, bring him to me, and he shall not touch you any more.
| فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: «احْلِفْ لِي باسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ أَنْ تَمْنَعَ طَالِبَ الدَّمِ مِنْ إِرَاقَةِ مَزِيدٍ مِنَ الدِّمَاءِ لِئَلّا يُهْلِكَ ابْنِي». فَأَجَابَهَا: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِنَّهُ لَنْ تَسْقُطَ شَعْرَةٌ مِنْ رَأْسِ ابْنِكِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ». | ١١ 11 |
Then said she, I pray you, let the king remember the LORD your God, that you would not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of your son fall to the earth.
| فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: «دَعْ جَارِيَتَكَ تَقُولُ كَلِمَةً لِسَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ» فَقَالَ: «تَكَلَّمِي». | ١٢ 12 |
Then the woman said, Let your handmaid, I pray you, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
| قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: «إذَنْ، لِمَاذَا ارْتَكَبْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ فِي حَقِّ شَعْبِ اللهِ؟ أَلا يَدِينُ المَلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَمَا يُصْدِرُ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْحُكْمِ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَرُدَّ ابْنَهُ مِنْ مَنْفَاهُ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
And the woman said, Wherefore then have you thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king does speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king does not fetch home again his banished.
| لأَنَّنَا لابُدَّ أَنْ نَمُوتَ وَنَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْمِيَاهِ الْمُتَسَرِّبَةِ فِي شُقُوقِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَتَعَذَّرُ جَمْعُهَا. وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَسْتأْصِلُ نَفْساً بَلْ يُفَكِّرُ بِشَتَّى الطُّرُقِ حَتَّى لَا يَقْطَعَ عَنْهُ مَنْفِيَّهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
For we must essentially die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither does God respect any person: yet does he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
| وَهَا أَنَا الآنَ قَدْ جِئْتُ لأُخَاطِبَ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ بِهَذَا الأَمْرِ لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ أَخَافَنِي. فَقُلْتُ: سَأُخَاطِبُ الْمَلِكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَتَقَبَّلُ طَلَبَ جَارِيَتِهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and your handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
| لأَنَّ الْمَلِكَ قَدْ يُوَافِقُ عَلَى إِنْقَاذِ جَارِيَتِهِ مِنْ يَدِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يُحَاوِلُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى ابْنِي وَيَسْتَوْلِيَ عَلَى الْمِيرَاثِ الَّذِي وَهَبَنَا إِيَّاهُ اللهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
| وَقَالَتْ جَارِيَتُكَ: لِتَحْمِلْ كَلِمَةُ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ عَزَاءً لِنَفْسِي، لأَنَّ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ هُوَ كَمَلاكِ اللهِ فِي التَّمْيِيزِ بَيْنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ، وَالرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ يَكُونُ مَعَكَ». | ١٧ 17 |
Then your handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD your God will be with you.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «لَدَيَّ مَا أَسْأَلُكِ عَنْهُ فَلا تَكْتُمِي الْجَوَابَ عَنِّي». فَأَجَابَتْ: «لِيَتَكَلَّمْ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ». | ١٨ 18 |
Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray you, the thing that I shall ask you. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
| فَسَأَلَهَا: «هَلْ لِيُوآبَ يَدٌ فِي كُلِّ هَذَا الأَمْرِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «لِتَحْيَ نَفْسُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ! إِنَّ أَحَداً لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُرَاوِغَ فِي أَمْرِ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ. نَعَمْ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ يُوآبَ هُوَ أَوْصَانِي وَلَقَّنَنِي كُلَّ مَا نَطَقْتُ بِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with you in all this? And the woman answered and said, As your soul lives, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king has spoken: for your servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your handmaid:
| وَقَدْ قَامَ يُوآبُ بِهَذَا الأَمْرِ لإِحْدَاثِ تَغْيِيرٍ فِي الْوَضْعِ الرَّاهِنِ. إِنَّ سَيِّدِي يَتَمَتَّعُ بِحِكْمَةٍ مُمَاثِلَةٍ لِحِكْمَةِ مَلاكِ اللهِ، وَعَالِمٌ بِمَا يَحْدُثُ فِي الْبِلادِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
To fetch about this form of speech has your servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِيُوآبَ: «لَقَدِ اسْتَقَرَّ رَأْيِي عَلَى تَنْفِيذِ هَذَا الأَمْرِ. فَاذْهَبِ الآنَ وَأَحْضِرِ الْفَتَى أَبْشَالُومَ». | ٢١ 21 |
And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
| فَانْحَنَى يُوآبُ بِوَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ وَبَارَكَ الْمَلِكَ قَائِلاً: «الْيَوْمَ عَلِمَ عَبْدُكَ أَنِّي قَدْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ، إِذِ اسْتَجَابَ الْمَلِكُ لِطَلَبِ عَبْدِهِ». | ٢٢ 22 |
And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day your servant knows that I have found grace in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant.
| ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ يُوآبُ إِلَى جَشُورَ وَأَحْضَرَ أَبْشَالُومَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «لِيَنْصَرِفْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ ولا يَرَ وَجْهِي». فَمَضَى أَبْشَالُومُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَلَمْ يَمْثُلْ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.
| وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ رَجُلٌ وَسِيمُ الْمُحَيَّا، يَحْظَى بِالإِعْجَابِ كَأَبْشَالُومَ الَّذِي خَلا مِنْ كُلِّ عَيْبٍ مِنْ قِمَّةِ الرَّأْسِ إِلَى أَخْمَصِ الْقَدَمِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
| وَكَانَ يَقُصُّ شَعْرَ رَأْسِهِ مَرَّةً فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَثْقُلُ عَلَيْهِ، إِذْ كَانَ يَزِنُ مِئَتَيْ شَاقِلٍ (نَحْوَ كِيلُو جِرَامَيْنِ وَنِصْفٍ). | ٢٦ 26 |
And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it: ) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight.
| وَأَنْجَبَ أَبْشَالُومُ ثَلاثَةَ بَنِينَ وَبِنْتاً وَاحِدَةً اسْمُهَا ثَامَارُ، كَانَتْ تَتَمَتَّعُ بِقِسْطٍ وَافِرٍ مِنَ الْجَمَالِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.
| وَمَكَثَ أَبْشَالُومُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ سَنَتَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَحْظَى بِالْمُثُولِ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ | ٢٨ 28 |
So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى يُوآبَ لِيَتَشَفَّعَ لَهُ عِنْدَ أَبِيهِ، فَلَمْ يَشَأْ يُوآبُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْهِ. ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ ثَانِيَةً، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَيْضاً. | ٢٩ 29 |
Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ أَبْشَالُومُ لِرِجَالِهِ: «لِيُوآبَ حَقْلُ شَعِيرٍ مُجاوِرٍ لِحَقْلِي، فَاذْهَبُوا وَأَحْرِقُوهُ». فَقَامَ رِجَالُ أَبْشَالُومَ بِإِحْرَاقِ الْحَقْلِ بِالنَّارِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
| فَأَقْبَلَ يُوآبُ إِلَى أَبْشَالُومَ فِي بَيْتِهِ قَائِلاً: «لِمَاذَا أَحْرَقَ رِجَالُكَ حَقْلِي بِالنَّارِ؟» | ٣١ 31 |
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have your servants set my field on fire?
| فَأَجَابَ أَبْشَالُومُ: «أَرْسَلْتُ طَالِباً إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ إِلَى هُنَا لأُوْفِدَكَ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ لِتَسْأَلَهُ لِمَاذَا اسْتَدْعَانِي مِنْ جَشُورَ خَيْرٌ لِي لَوْ بَقِيتُ هُنَاكَ. إِنِّي أَوَدُّ أَنْ أَمْثُلَ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ، فَإِنْ كُنْتُ مُذْنِباً فَلْيَقْتُلْنِي». | ٣٢ 32 |
And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto you, saying, Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me.
| فَمَضَى يُوآبُ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ وَأَبْلَغَهُ كَلامَ أَبْشَالُومَ. فَاسْتَدْعَى الْمَلِكُ أَبْشَالُومَ، فَجَاءَ هَذَا إِلَيْهِ وَسَجَدَ أَمَامَهُ، فَقَبَّلَ الْمَلِكُ أَبْشَالُومَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
