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 |
Now there was a famine in the days of David for three consecutive years, so David sought the face of YHWH. And YHWH said, "There is bloodguilt on Saul and on his house, because he murdered the Gibeonites."
| 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 |
So the king summoned the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites. And the children of Israel had sworn to them, but Saul sought to exterminate them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لَهُمْ: «مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ لَكُمْ؟ كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أُعَوِّضَ عَمَّا نَالَكُمْ مِنْ ضَرَرٍ، فَتَدْعُونَ بِالْبَرَكَةِ لِمِيرَاثِ الرَّبِّ؟» | ٣ 3 |
And David said to the Gibeonites, "What can I do for you? And how can I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of YHWH?"
| 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 |
The Gibeonites said to him, "It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, nor is it our place to put anyone to death in Israel." Then he said, "What do you want? For I will do it for you."
| فَقَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ: «أَعْطِنَا سَبْعَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ بَنِي الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي أَفْنَانَا وَتَآمَرَ عَلَيْنَا لِيُبِيدَنَا فَلا نُقِيمَ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٥ 5 |
So they said to the king, "The man who opposed us and persecuted us, who meant to eradicate us from having a place anywhere in the territory of Israel,
| فَنَصْلِبَهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ فِي جِبْعَةَ شَاوُلَ مُخْتَارِ الرَّبِّ». فَأَجَابَ الْمَلِكُ: «أَنَا أُعْطِيكُمْ». | ٦ 6 |
let seven of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them before YHWH at Gibeon on the mountain of YHWH." And the king replied, "I will do it."
| وَأَشْفَقَ الْمَلِكُ عَلَى مَفِيبُوشَثَ بْنِ يُونَاثَانَ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا بَيْنَ دَاوُدَ وَيُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ مِنْ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ، | ٧ 7 |
But the king spared Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of YHWH's oath that was between them, 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 the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mippibaal; and the five sons of Merob the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to 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 delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before YHWH, and all seven of them fell together. And they were put to death in the first days of harvest at the beginning of barley harvest.
| 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 sackcloth and spread it for herself on a rock, from the beginning of harvest until it rained on them from the sky. And she did not allow the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the wild animals by night.
| وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ دَاوُدَ مَا فَعَلَتْهُ رِصْفَةُ ابْنَةُ أَيَّةَ مَحْظِيَّةُ شَاوُلَ، | ١١ 11 |
It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the secondary wife of Saul, 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 |
Then David went and obtained the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them on the day that the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa;
| فَأَصْعَدَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عِظَامَ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ ابْنِهِ، كَمَا تَمَّ جَمْعُ عِظَامِ الْمَصْلُوبِينَ. | ١٣ 13 |
and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. And they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
| 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 he buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in the land of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. After that God responded to prayers for the land.
| وَدَارَتْ حَرْبٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَيْنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّين وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، فَخَاضَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ الْمَعْرَكَةَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَلَكِنَّ الإِعْيَاءَ أَصَابَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٥ 15 |
The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. Now David became exhausted,
| 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 Dodo son of Joash, of the descendants of the Raphah, captured him. His spear weighed three hundred bronze shekels, and he was girded with a new sword, and he thought he could kill David.
| 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 helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David took an oath, saying, "You must not go out to battle with us again, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel."
| وَنَشَبَتْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَعْرَكَةٌ أُخْرَى مَعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فِي جُوبَ، فَقَتَلَ سِبْكَايُ الْحُوشِيُّ سَافَ أَحَدَ أَبْنَاءِ رَافَا. | ١٨ 18 |
Now it came to pass after this that there was another battle with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Raphah.
| 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 |
There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
| 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 |
There was another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty four in number, and he also was a descendant of Raphah.
| وَعِنْدَمَا حَقَّرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَتَلَهُ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شِمْعَى أَخِي دَاوُدَ. | ٢١ 21 |
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
| وَهَكَذَا قَتَلَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ هَؤُلاءِ الأَرْبَعَةَ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لِرَافَا فِي جَتَّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
These four were descendants of Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
