2 صَمُوئيل 19
| وَقِيلَ لِيُوآبَ: «هُوَذَا الْمَلِكُ يَبْكِي وَيَنُوحُ عَلَى أَبْشَالُومَ». | ١ 1 |
And it was told to Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
| فَتَحَوَّلَ النَّصْرُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لَدَى جَمِيعِ الْجَيْشِ إِلَى مَنَاحَةٍ، إِذْ شَاعَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَنَّ الْمَلِكَ قَدْ حَزِنَ جِدّاً عَلَى مَصْرَعِ ابْنِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
And the victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people: for the people heard it said that day how the king was grieved for his son.
| فَتَسَلَّلَ أَفْرَادُ الْجَيْشِ عَائِدِينَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا يَتَسَلَّلُ قَوْمٌ لَحِقَ بِهِمْ عَارُ الْهَزِيمَةِ. | ٣ 3 |
And the people withdrew by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
| وَأَخْفَى الْمَلِكُ وَجْهَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ صَارِخاً بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «يَا ابْنِي أَبْشَالُومُ، يَا أَبْشَالُومُ ابْنِي، ابْنِي». | ٤ 4 |
But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
| فَتَوَجَّهَ يُوآبُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ وَقَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «لَقَدْ أَخْجَلْتَ الْيَوْمَ جَمِيعَ رِجَالِكَ الَّذِينَ أَنْقَذُوكَ أَنْتَ وَأَبْنَاءَكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَاءَكَ وَمَحْظِيَّاتِكَ، | ٥ 5 |
And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, who this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;
| بِمَحَبَّتِكَ لِمُبْغِضِيكَ وَبُغْضِكَ لِمُحِبِّيكَ، فَقَدْ أَبْدَيْتَ الْيَوْمَ بِوُضُوحٍ أَنَّهُ لَا اعْتِبَارَ لَدَيْكَ لِلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَلا لِلْعَبِيدِ، لأَنِّي أَدْرَكْتُ الْيَوْمَ أَنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ أَبْشَالُومُ حَيًّا وَكُلُّنَا هَلَكْنَا، لَطَابَ الأَمْرُ لَكَ. | ٦ 6 |
In that thou lovest thy enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
| فَقُمِ الآنَ وَاخْرُجْ وَاشْرَحْ قُلُوبَ رِجَالِكَ، لأَنِّي قَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِالرَّبِّ أَنَّهُ إِنْ لَمْ تَخْرُجْ، فَلَنْ يَبْقَى مَعَكَ أَحَدٌ اللَّيْلَةَ، فَيَكُونُ هَذَا الأَمْرُ أَسْوَأَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ كَارِثَةٍ أَصَابَتْكَ مُنْذُ صِبَاكَ إِلَى الآنَ». | ٧ 7 |
Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak kindly to thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou shalt not go forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse to thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now.
| فَقَامَ الْمَلِكُ وَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ. فَذَاعَ الْخَبَرُ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ أَوْسَاطِ الْجَيْشِ أَنَّ المَلِكَ جَاِلسٌ عِنْدَ الْبَوَّابَةِ، فَأَقْبَلَ الجَيْشُ إلَيْهِ. أَمَّا الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فَهَرَبُوا لائِذِينَ بِبُيُوتِهِمْ. | ٨ 8 |
Then the king rose, and sat in the gate. And they told to all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
| وَنَشَبَتْ خُصُومَاتٌ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ قَدْ أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ قَبْضَةِ أَعْدَائِنَا، وَخَلَّصَنَا مِنْ حُكْمِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَهَا هُوَ قَدْ هَرَبَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ لِيَنْجُوَ مِنْ أَبْشَالُومَ. | ٩ 9 |
And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us from the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us from the hand of the Philistines; and now he hath fled out of the land for Absalom.
| وَأَبْشَالُومُ الَّذِي نَصَّبْنَاهُ مَلِكاً عَلَيْنَا مَاتَ فِي الْحَرْبِ. فَالآنَ لِمَاذَا أَنْتُمْ مُتَقَاعِسُونَ عَنْ إِرْجَاعِ الْمَلِكِ؟» | ١٠ 10 |
And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?
| وَبَعَثَ الْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى صَادُوقَ وَأَبِيَاثَارَ الْكَاهِنَيْنِ قَائِلاً: «اسْأَلا شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمَاذَا تَكُونُونَ آخِرَ مَنْ يُطَالِبُ بِعَوْدَةِ الْمَلِكِ إِلَى مَقَرِّهِ، وَقَدْ بَلَغَ مَسَامِعَ الْمَلِكِ فِي بَيْتِهِ كُلُّ مَا قِيلَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even to his house.
| أَنْتُمْ إِخْوَتِي وَعَظْمِي وَلَحْمِي، فَلِمَاذَا تَكُونُونَ آخِرَ مَنْ يُطَالِبُ بِإِرْجَاعِ الْمَلِكِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: why then are ye the last to bring back the king?
| وَقُولا لِعَمَاسَا: أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ مِنْ لَحْمِي وَعَظْمِي؟ فَلْيُعَاقِبْنِي الرَّبُّ أَشَدَّ عِقَابٍ وَيَزِدْ، إِنْ لَمْ أَجْعَلْكَ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِكَ قَائِداً لِجَيْشِي بَدَلَ يُوآبَ». | ١٣ 13 |
And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the place of Joab.
| فَاسْتَمَالَ بِذَلِكَ قُلُوبَ جَمِيعِ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يُنَاشِدُونَهُ الرُّجُوعَ قَائِلِينَ: «عُدْ أَنْتَ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِكَ». | ١٤ 14 |
And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word to the king, Return thou, and all thy servants.
| فَرَجَعَ الْمَلِكُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الأُرْدُنَّ، فَتَوَافَدَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا إِلَى الْجِلْجَالِ لاِسْتِقْبَالِهِ وَالْعُبُورِ بِهِ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ. | ١٥ 15 |
So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan.
| وَأَسْرَعَ شِمْعِي بْنُ جِيرَا الْبَنْيَامِينِيُّ، الَّذِي مِنْ بَحُورِيمَ، وَرَافَقَ رِجَالَ يَهُوذَا لاسْتِقْبَالِ الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ، | ١٦ 16 |
And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
| وَمَعَهُ أَلْفُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ، كَمَا جَاءَ صِيبَا خَادِمُ شَاوُلَ وَمَعَهُ أَوْلادُهُ الْخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ وَعَبِيدُهُ الْعِشْرُونَ، وَخَاضُوا نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ. | ١٧ 17 |
And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over Jordan before the king.
| وَإِذِ اجْتَازُوا الْمَخَاضَةَ لِمُوَاكَبَةِ بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ وَعَمَلِ مَا يَسْتَحْوِذُ عَلَى رِضَاهُ، مَثَلَ شِمْعِي بْنُ جِيرَا أَمَامَ المَلِكِ عِنْدَ عُبُورِهِ الأُرْدُنَّ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ مُتَوَسِّلاً | ١٨ 18 |
And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he came over Jordan;
| قَائِلاً: «لِيَغْفِرْ لِي سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ إِثْمِي وَلا يَذْكُرِ افْتِرَاءَ عَبْدِهِ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَمَا خَرَجَ المَلِكُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلا يَكْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فِي قَلْبِهِ، | ١٩ 19 |
And said to the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity to me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
| لأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ أَنِّي قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ، هَا أَنَا قَدْ جِئْتُ الْيَوْمَ فِي طَلِيعَةِ بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ لاسْتِقْبَالِ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I have come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
| فَقَالَ أَبِيشَايُ بْنُ صُرُويَّةَ: «أَلا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُقْتَلَ شِمْعِي لأَجْلِ هَذَا؟ لَقَدْ شَتَمَ مُخْتَارَ الرَّبِّ». | ٢١ 21 |
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’S anointed?
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «كُفَّا عَنِّي يَاابْنَيْ صُرُويَّةَ، فَلِمَاذَا تُقَاوِمَانِنِي؟ أَيُقْتَلُ الْيَوْمَ أَحَدٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ أَلَسْتُ أَنَا الآنَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» | ٢٢ 22 |
And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِشِمْعِي: «لَنْ تَمُوتَ». وَأَقْسَمَ لَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Therefore the king said to Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore to him.
| وَكَذَلِكَ جَاءَ مَفِيبُوشَثُ حَفِيدُ شَاوُلَ لِلِقَاءِ الْمَلِكِ، وَكَانَ قَدْ أَهْمَلَ الاعْتِنَاءَ بِرِجْلَيْهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ، وَلَمْ يَغْسِلْ ثِيَابَهُ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي غَادَرَ فِيهِ الْمَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى حِينِ رُجُوعِهِ سَالِماً. | ٢٤ 24 |
And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither cared for his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace.
| وَعِنْدَمَا جَاءَ لِلِقَائِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ سَأَلَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَأْتِ مَعِي يَا مَفِيبُوشَثُ؟» | ٢٥ 25 |
And it came to pass, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?
| فَأَجَابَ: «إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ أَعْرَجُ، فَقُلْتُ لِنَفْسِي. أُسْرِجُ حِمَارِي وَأَرْكَبُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَمْضِي مَعَ المَلِكِ، وَلَكِنَّ صِيبَا وَكِيلَ أَعْمَالِي خَدَعَنِي، | ٢٦ 26 |
And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me a donkey, that I may ride on it, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.
| وَوَشَى بِعَبْدِكَ بُهْتَاناً إِلَى سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ، وَسَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ كَمَلاكِ اللهِ. فَافْعَلْ مَا يَرُوقُ لَكَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And he hath slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thy eyes.
| إِنَّ كُلَّ بَيْتِ أَبِي لَا يَسْتَحِقُّونَ مِنْكَ شَيْئاً سِوَى الْمَوْتِ، وَلَكِنَّكَ أَكْرَمْتَنِي، فَجَعَلْتَ عَبْدَكَ بَيْنَ الآكِلِينَ عَلَى مَائِدَتِكَ، فَأَيُّ حَقٍّ لِي بَعْدُ أُطَالِبُ بِهِ الْمَلِكَ؟» | ٢٨ 28 |
For all of my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that ate at thy own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more to the king?
| فَأَجَابَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «كَفَاكَ حَدِيثاً عَنْ شُؤُونِكَ، لَقَدْ أَمَرْتُ أَنْ تَقْسِمَ أَنْتَ وَصِيبَا الْحُقُولَ». | ٢٩ 29 |
And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
| فَقَالَ مَفِيبُوشَثُ: «فَلْيَأْخُذْهَا كُلَّهَا بَعْدَ أَنْ عَادَ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ بِسَلامٍ». | ٣٠ 30 |
And Mephibosheth said to the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king hath come again in peace to his own house.
| وَنَزَلَ بَرْزِلايُ الْجِلْعَادِيُّ مِنْ رُوجَلِيمَ وَعَبَرَ الأُرْدُنَّ مَعَ الْمَلِكِ لِيُشَيِّعَهُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. | ٣١ 31 |
And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.
| وَكَانَ بَرْزِلايُ قَدْ طَعَنَ فِي السِّنِّ وَبَلَغَ الثَّمَانِينَ عَاماً، وَكَانَ قَدْ عَالَ الْمَلِكَ عِنْدَ إِقَامَتِهِ فِي مَحَنَايِمَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلاً ثَرِيًّا جِدّاً. | ٣٢ 32 |
Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِبَرْزِلايَ: «تَعَالَ مَعِي لأُورُشَلِيمَ فَأَقُومَ عَلَى إِعَالَتِكَ» | ٣٣ 33 |
And the king said to Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.
| فَأَجَابَ بَرْزِلايُ: «كَمْ بَقِيَ لِي مِنَ الْعُمْرِ حَتَّى أَصْعَدَ مَعَ الْمَلِكِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ؟ | ٣٤ 34 |
And Barzillai said to the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
| أَنَا الْيَوْمَ قَدْ بَلَغْتُ الثَّمَانِيَن، فَهَلْ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُمَيِّزَ بَيْنَ الطَّيِّبِ وَالرَّدِيءِ؟ وَهَلْ يَلْتَذُّ عَبْدُكَ بِمَا يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ؟ وَهَلْ مَازِلْتُ قَادِراً عَلَى الاسْتِمَاعِ إِلَى أَصْوَاتِ الْمُغَنِّينَ وَالْمُغَنِّيَاتِ؟ فَلِمَاذَا يُصْبِحُ عَبْدُكَ عِبْئاً عَلَى سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ؟ | ٣٥ 35 |
I am this day eighty years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why then should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?
| لِيُرَافِقْ عَبْدُكَ مَوْكِبَكَ قَلِيلاً بَعْدَ عُبُورِكَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ. وَلَكِنْ عَلامَ يُكَافِئُنِي الْمَلِكُ هَذِهِ الْمُكَافَأَةَ؟ | ٣٦ 36 |
Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with such a reward?
| دَعْنِي أَرْجِعُ لأَمُوتَ فِي مَدِينَتِي بِجِوَارِ ضَرِيحِ أَبِي وَأُمِّي، وَهَا هُوَ وَلَدِي كِمْهَامُ يَذْهَبُ مَعَ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ فَكَافِئْهُ بِمَا يَحْلُو لَكَ». | ٣٧ 37 |
Let thy servant, I pray thee, return again, that I may die in my own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to thee.
| فَأَجَابَ الْمَلِكُ: «لِيُرَافِقْنِي كِمْهَامُ فَأُجْزِلَ لَهُ مَا يَرُوقُ لَكَ مِنْ مُكَافَأَةٍ وَكُلُّ مَا تَتَمَنَّاهُ مِنِّي أُلَبِّيهِ لَكَ». | ٣٨ 38 |
And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to thee: and whatever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
| فَاجْتَازَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ وَكَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ الْمَلِكُ. وَقَبَّلَ الْمَلِكُ بَرْزِلايَ وَبَارَكَهُ، ثُمَّ قَفَلَ هَذَا رَاجِعاً إِلَى مَحَلِّ إِقَامَتِهِ. | ٣٩ 39 |
And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king had come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
| وَتَوَجَّهَ الْمَلِكُ إِلَى الْجِلْجَالِ يُرَافِقُهُ كِمْهَامُ وَسَائِرُ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا الَّذِينَ وَاكَبُوهُ مُجْتَازِينَ بِهِ نَهْرَ الأُردُنِّ، وَكَذَلِكَ نِصْفُ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
| وَاجْتَمَعَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ: «لِمَاذَا أَخَذَكَ إِخْوَتُنَا رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا خُفْيَةً، وَعَبَرُوا الأُرْدُنَّ بِالْمَلِكِ وَبِأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَبِكُلِّ رِجَالِ دَاوُدَ؟» | ٤١ 41 |
And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to him, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David’s men with him, over Jordan?
| فَأَجَابَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا رِجَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لأَنَّ الْمَلِكَ قَرِيبٌ لَنَا، فَمَاذَا يُثِيرُ غَيْظَكُمْ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ؟ هَلْ أَكَلْنَا شَيْئاً مِنْ مَؤُونَةِ الْمَلِكِ؟ هَلْ نِلْنَا مُكَافَأَةً عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟» | ٤٢ 42 |
And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: why then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? or hath he given us any gift?
| فَقَالَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِرِجَالِ يَهُوذَا: «إِنَّ لَنَا عَشَرَةَ سِهَامٍ فِي الْمَلِكِ، وَنَحْنُ أَوْلَى مِنْكُمْ بِدَاوُدَ، فَلِمَاذَا اسْتَخْفَفْتُمْ بِنَا؟ أَوَ لَمْ نَكُنْ نَحْنُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ تَحَدَّثَ عَنْ إِرْجَاعِ مَلِكِنَا؟» فَكَانَ رَدُّ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا أَغْلَظَ مِنْ كَلامِ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤٣ 43 |
And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
