2 صَمُوئيل 21
| وَحَدَثَتْ مَجَاعَةٌ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُكْمِ دَاوُدَ اسْتَمَرَّتْ ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ مُتَتَالِيَةً، فَالْتَمَسَ دَاوُدُ وَجْهَ الرَّبِّ. فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «هَذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ شَاوُلُ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ الْمُلَطَّخَةُ أَيْدِيهِمْ بِدِمَاءِ الْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوهُمْ.» | ١ 1 |
In the days of David they were short of food for three years, year after year; and David went before the Lord for directions. And the Lord said, On Saul and on his family there is blood, because he put the Gibeonites to death.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى الْمَلِكُ الْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ، وَهُمْ مِنْ بَقَايَا شَعْبِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ وَقَّعَ مَعَهُمُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مُعَاهَدَةَ صُلْحٍ، وَلَكِنَّ شَاوُلَ سَعَى لِلْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ فَرْطِ غَيْرَتِهِ عَلَى بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢ 2 |
Then the king sent for the Gibeonites; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but were the last of the Amorites, to whom the children of Israel had given an oath; but Saul, in his passion for the children of Israel and Judah, had made an attempt on their lives: )
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لَهُمْ: «مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ لَكُمْ؟ كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أُعَوِّضَ عَمَّا نَالَكُمْ مِنْ ضَرَرٍ، فَتَدْعُونَ بِالْبَرَكَةِ لِمِيرَاثِ الرَّبِّ؟» | ٣ 3 |
So David said to the Gibeonites, What may I do for you? how am I to make up to you for your wrongs, so that you may give a blessing to the heritage of the Lord?
| فَأَجَابَهُ الْجِبْعُونِيُّونَ: «لا نُرِيدُ مَالاً وَلا فِضَّةً مِنْ شَاوُلَ وَلا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، وَلا نَبْغِي أَنْ نُمِيتَ أَحَداً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَهْمَا طَلَبْتُمْ أَفْعَلُهُ لَكُمْ» | ٤ 4 |
And the Gibeonites said to him, It is not a question of silver and gold between us and Saul or his family; and it is not in our power to put to death any man in Israel. And he said, Say, then, what am I to do for you?
| فَقَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ: «أَعْطِنَا سَبْعَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ بَنِي الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي أَفْنَانَا وَتَآمَرَ عَلَيْنَا لِيُبِيدَنَا فَلا نُقِيمَ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٥ 5 |
And they said to the king, As for the man by whom we were wasted, and who made designs against us to have us completely cut off from the land of Israel,
| فَنَصْلِبَهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ فِي جِبْعَةَ شَاوُلَ مُخْتَارِ الرَّبِّ». فَأَجَابَ الْمَلِكُ: «أَنَا أُعْطِيكُمْ». | ٦ 6 |
Let seven men of his family be given up to us and we will put an end to them by hanging them before the Lord in Gibeon, on the hill of the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.
| وَأَشْفَقَ الْمَلِكُ عَلَى مَفِيبُوشَثَ بْنِ يُونَاثَانَ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا بَيْنَ دَاوُدَ وَيُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ مِنْ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ، | ٧ 7 |
But the king did not give up Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son Jonathan, because of the Lord's oath made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.
| فَأَخَذَ الْمَلِكُ، أَرْمُونِيَ وَمَفِبيُوشَثَ ابْنَيْ رِصْفَةَ ابْنَةِ أَيَّةَ اللَّذَيْنِ وَلَدَتْهُمَا لِشَاوُلَ، وَأَبْنَاءَ ابْنَةِ شَاوُلَ الْخَمْسَةَ الَّذِينَ أَنْجَبَتْهُمْ لِعَدْرِيئِيلَ ابْنِ بَرْزِلايَ الْمَحُولِيِّ. | ٨ 8 |
But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Saul to whom Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth; and the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab, whose father was Adriel, the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
| وَسَلَّمَهُمْ إِلَى الْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ، فَصَلَبُوهُمْ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ. فَقُتِلَ السَّبْعَةُ مَعاً فِي بِدَايَةِ مَوْسِمِ حَصَادِ الشَّعِيرِ. | ٩ 9 |
And he gave them up to the Gibeonites, and they put them to death, hanging them on the mountain before the Lord; all seven came to their end together in the first days of the grain-cutting, at the start of the cutting of the barley.
| فَأَخَذَتْ رِصْفَةُ ابْنَةُ أَيَّةَ مِسْحاً فَرَشَتْهُ عَلَى الصَّخْرِ مِنْ بِدَايَةِ الْحَصَادِ حَتَّى هُطُولِ الأَمْطَارِ عَلَى الْجُثَثِ، وَمَنَعَتِ الْجَوَارِحَ مِنَ الانْقِضَاضِ عَلَيْهَا نَهَاراً، وَالْوُحُوشَ مِنِ افْتِرَاسِهَا لَيْلاً. | ١٠ 10 |
And Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took haircloth, placing it on the rock as a bed for herself, from the start of the grain-cutting till rain came down on them from heaven; and she did not let the birds of the air come near them by day, or the beasts of the field by night.
| وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ دَاوُدَ مَا فَعَلَتْهُ رِصْفَةُ ابْنَةُ أَيَّةَ مَحْظِيَّةُ شَاوُلَ، | ١١ 11 |
And news was given to David of what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, one of Saul's wives, had done.
| ذَهَبَ وَأَخَذَ عِظَامَ شَاوُلَ وَعِظَامَ يُونَاثَانَ ابْنِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ يَابِيشَ جِلْعَادَ، الَّذِينَ سَرَقُوهَا مِنْ شَارِعِ بَيْتِ شَانَ حَيْثُ عَلَّقَهَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بَعْدَ قَضَائِهِمْ عَلَيْهِمَا فِي جِلْبُوعَ، | ١٢ 12 |
And David went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had taken them away secretly from the public place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had put them, hanging up the bodies there on the day when they put Saul to death in Gilboa:
| فَأَصْعَدَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عِظَامَ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ ابْنِهِ، كَمَا تَمَّ جَمْعُ عِظَامِ الْمَصْلُوبِينَ. | ١٣ 13 |
And he took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from that place; and they got together the bones of those who had been put to death by hanging.
| وَدَفَنُوهَا فِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ فِي صَيْلَعَ فِي قَبْرِ قَيْسَ أَبِي شَاوُلَ. وَعِنْدَمَا تَمَّ تَنْفِيذُ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ الْمَلِكُ اسْتَجَابَ اللهُ الصَّلاةَ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِخْصَابِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And they put them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the resting-place of Kish, his father, in Zela in the country of Benjamin; they did all the king had given them orders to do. And after that, God gave ear to their prayers for the land.
| وَدَارَتْ حَرْبٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَيْنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّين وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، فَخَاضَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ الْمَعْرَكَةَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَلَكِنَّ الإِعْيَاءَ أَصَابَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And the Philistines went to war again with Israel; and David went down with his people, and while they were at Gob they had a fight with the Philistines:
| وَهَمَّ يِشْبِي بْنُ بَنُوبَ، أَحَدُ أَبْنَاءِ رَافَا، أَنْ يَقْتُلَ دَاوُدَ، وَكَانَ وَزْنُ رُمْحِهِ النُّحَاسِيِّ ثَلاثُ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامَاتٍ وَنِصْفٍ)، وَقَدْ تَقَلَّدَ سَيْفاً جَدِيداً. | ١٦ 16 |
And there came against David one of the offspring of the Rephaim, whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, and having a new sword, he made an attempt to put David to death.
| فَأَنْجَدَهُ أَبِيشَايُ بْنُ صُرُويَّةَ، وَضَرَبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ وَقَتَلَهُ. حِينَئِذٍ أَقْسَمَ رِجَالُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: «لا تَخْرُجْ مَعَنَا بَعْدَ الآنَ إِلَى الْحَرْبِ، وَلا تُطْفِئْ بِمَوْتِكَ سِرَاجَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١٧ 17 |
But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and, turning on the Philistine, gave him his death-blow. Then David's men took an oath, and said, Never again are you to go out with us to the fight, so that you may not put out the light of Israel.
| وَنَشَبَتْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَعْرَكَةٌ أُخْرَى مَعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فِي جُوبَ، فَقَتَلَ سِبْكَايُ الْحُوشِيُّ سَافَ أَحَدَ أَبْنَاءِ رَافَا. | ١٨ 18 |
Now after this there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Saph, one of the offspring of the Rephaim.
| وَوَقَعَتْ حَرْبٌ ثَالِثَةٌ فِي جُوبَ مَعَ الفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَتَلَ فِيهَا أَلْحَانَانُ بْنُ يَعْرِي الْبَيْتَلَحْمِيُّ جِلْيَاتَ الْجَتِّيَّ الَّذِي كَانَتْ قَنَاةُ رُمْحِهِ فِي حَجْمِ نَوْلِ النَّسَّاجِينَ. | ١٩ 19 |
And again there was war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan, the son of Jair the Beth-lehemite, put to death Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.
| وَجَرَتْ مَعْرَكَةٌ رَابِعَةٌ فِي جَتَّ، كَانَ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ طَوِيلُ الْقَامَةِ لَهُ سِتُّ أَصَابِعَ فِي كُلِّ يَدٍ وَفِي كُلِّ قَدَمٍ. فَكَانَتْ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ إِصْبَعاً، وَهُوَ أَيْضاً مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ رَافَا. | ٢٠ 20 |
And again there was war at Gath, where there was a very tall man, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet; he was one of the offspring of the Rephaim.
| وَعِنْدَمَا حَقَّرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَتَلَهُ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شِمْعَى أَخِي دَاوُدَ. | ٢١ 21 |
And when he was purposing to put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimei, David's brother, put him to death.
| وَهَكَذَا قَتَلَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ هَؤُلاءِ الأَرْبَعَةَ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لِرَافَا فِي جَتَّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
These four were of the offspring of the Rephaim in Gath; and they came to their end by the hands of David and his servants.
