< Ikinci Şamuel 1 >

1 Şaulun ölümündən sonra Davud Amaleqliləri məğlub edib qayıdan zaman iki gün Ziqlaqda qaldı.
After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2 Üçüncü gün Şaulun yanından – ordugahdan paltarı cırılmış, başı toz-torpağa batmış bir adam gəldi. O, Davudun yanına çatıb qarşısında üzünü yerə qoyaraq təzim etdi.
On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
3 Davud ondan soruşdu: «Haradan gəlirsən?» Həmin adam ona dedi: «Qaçıb canımı İsrail ordugahından qurtardım».
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
4 Davud ona dedi: «Orada nə baş verib? Rica edirəm, mənə de». O dedi: «Ordu döyüş meydanından qaçdı və onların bir çoxu qırılıb öldü. Şaulla oğlu Yonatan da həlak oldu».
David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
5 Davud ona xəbər verən cavan adamdan soruşdu: «Bəs sən haradan bildin ki, Şaulla Yonatan da öldü?»
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 Davuda xəbər verən cavan belə dedi: «Təsadüfən Gilboa dağında idim və gördüm ki, Şaul nizəsinə söykənərək dayanıb. Atlılar və döyüş arabaları isə artıq ona çatmaqda idi.
The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
7 Şaul geriyə baxanda məni görüb çağırdı. Mən dedim: “Buyurun, buradayam”.
Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
8 O mənə “Sən kimsən?” dedi. Mən ona dedim ki, mən bir Amaleqliyəm.
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
9 Şaul mənə dedi: “Gəl əyil üzərimə, məni öldür, can üstəyəm, bu ağrılardan qurtarmaq istəyirəm”.
Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
10 Elə buna görə də mən onun üstünə əyilib nəfəsini kəsdim. Çünki bilirdim ki, o yıxılandan sonra artıq yaşaya bilməyəcək. Sonra onun başının tacını və qolunun bilərziyini götürdüm və buraya, ağam üçün gətirdim».
So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
11 Bunu eşidən Davud dartıb paltarlarını cırdı və yanındakı bütün adamlar da belə etdilər.
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
12 Onlar Şaul üçün, oğlu Yonatan üçün, Rəbbin xalqı və bütün İsrail nəsli üçün axşamacan yas qurub ağladılar və oruc tutdular, çünki onlar qılıncdan keçirilərək həlak olmuşdu.
They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
13 Davud əhvalatı ona danışan cavana dedi: «Haralısan?» O cavab verdi: «Mən yadelliyəm, bir Amaleqlinin oğluyam».
Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
14 Davud ona dedi: «Bəs niyə qorxmayaraq Rəbbin məsh olunmuş padşahını öldürmək üçün əl qaldırdın?»
David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
15 Davud adamlarından birini çağırıb dedi: «Get, onu öldür». O da Amaleqlini vurub öldürdü.
You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
16 Davud Amaleqliyə dedi: «Qoy qanın öz başına dönsün! Çünki sənin əleyhinə “mən Rəbbin məsh olunmuş padşahını öldürdüm” deyən ağzın şahidlik etdi».
17 Davud Şaul və oğlu Yonatanın yasında bu mərsiyəni oxudu.
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
18 Sonra tapşırdı ki, «Oxatan yay» adlı bu mərsiyəni Yəhuda övladlarına öyrətsinlər. Bu mərsiyə Yaşar kitabında yazılmışdır:
and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
19 Ey İsrail, şərəfin öz yüksək yerlərinin üstündə öldürüldü! İgidlər necə də qırıldı!
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
20 Filiştlilərin qızları sevinməsinlər deyə, Sünnətsizlərin qızları fərəhlənməsinlər deyə Bunu Qatda bildirməyin, Aşqelon küçələrində yaymayın.
“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
21 Ey Gilboa dağları, Üstünə şeh, yağış düşməsin, Qoy zəmilərin məhsul verməsin! Çünki orada ləkələndi igidlərin qalxanı, Şaulun yağ ilə silinməmiş qalxanı.
I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
22 Öldürülənlərin qanına, igidlərin piyinə görə Yonatanın yayı geri dönməzdi, Şaulun qılıncı boş qayıtmazdı.
instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
23 Şaul ilə Yonatan necə sevimli, əziz, Həyatda və ölümdə ayrılmaz oldunuz siz. Onlar qartallardan sürətli idi, Aslanlardan qüvvətli idi.
“Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
24 Ey İsrail qızları, ağlayın Şaul üçün. O sizə qiymətli al qumaşlar geydirərdi, Geyiminizə qızıl naxışlar vurardı.
“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
25 Ah, döyüş meydanında necə də igidlər qırıldı! Yonatan sənin yüksək təpələrində həlak oldu.
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
26 Ey qardaşım Yonatan, sənin üçün ürəyim yanar. Sən mənə çox əziz idin. Sənin sevgin mənim üçün heyranedici idi, Qadın sevgisindən də üstün idi.
Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
27 İgidlər necə də qırıldı! Döyüş silahları necə də yox oldu!
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
