1 Chronicles 12

1 Now these were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the mighty men who helped him in battle;

١ وَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَى دَاوُدَ إِلَى صِقْلَغَ وَهُوَ بَعْدُ مَحْجُوزٌ عَنْ وَجْهِ شَاوُلَ بْنِ قَيْسَ، وَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَبْطَالِ مُسَاعِدُونَ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ،

2 they were archers using both the right and left hands to sling stones and shoot arrows; and they were Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin):

٢ نَازِعُونَ فِي ٱلْقِسِيِّ، يَرْمُونَ ٱلْحِجَارَةَ وَٱلسِّهَامَ مِنَ ٱلْقِسِيِّ بِٱلْيَمِينِ وَٱلْيَسَارِ، مِنْ إِخْوَةِ شَاوُلَ مِنْ بَنْيَامِينَ.

3 Ahiezer their chief and Joash, who were the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;

٣ ٱلرَّأْسُ أَخِيعَزَرُ ثُمَّ يُوآشُ ٱبْنَا شَمَاعَةَ ٱلْجِبْعِيُّ، وَيَزُوئِيلُ وَفَالَطُ ٱبْنَا عَزْمُوتَ، وَبَرَاخَةُ وَيَاهُو ٱلْعَنَاثُوثِيُّ،

4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the Thirty and a leader over the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;

٤ وَيَشْمَعْيَا ٱلْجِبْعُونِيُّ ٱلْبَطَلُ بَيْنَ ٱلثَّلَاثِينَ وَعَلَى ٱلثَّلَاثِينَ، وَيَرْمِيَا وَيَحْزِيئِيلُ وَيُوحَانَانُ وَيُوزَابَادُ ٱلْجَدِيرِيُّ،

5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite;

٥ وَإِلْعُوزَايُ وَيَرِيمُوثُ وَبَعْلِيَا وَشَمَرْيَا وَشَفَطْيَا ٱلْحَرُوفِيُّ،

6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, who were Korahites;

٦ وَأَلْقَانَةُ وَيَشِيَّا وَعَزْرِيئِيلُ وَيُوعَزَرُ وَيَشُبْعَامُ ٱلْقُورَحِيُّونَ،

7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.

٧ وَيُوعِيلَةُ وَزَبَدْيَا ٱبْنَا يَرُوحَامَ مِنْ جَدُورَ.

8 Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the desert. They were mighty men of valor, trained for battle, experts with the shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions and who were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:

٨ وَمِنَ ٱلْجَادِيِّينَ ٱنْفَصَلَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ جَبَابِرَةُ ٱلْبَأْسِ رِجَالُ جَيْشٍ لِلْحَرْبِ، صَافُّو أَتْرَاسٍ وَرِمَاحٍ، وُجُوهُهُمْ كَوُجُوهِ ٱلْأُسُودِ، وَهُمْ كَٱلظَّبْيِ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ فِي ٱلسُّرْعَةِ:

9 Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,

٩ عَازَرُ ٱلرَّأْسُ، وَعُوبَدْيَا ٱلثَّانِي، وَأَلِيآبُ ٱلثَّالِثُ،

10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

١٠ وَمِشْمِنَّةُ ٱلرَّابِعُ، وَيَرْمِيَا ٱلْخَامِسُ،

11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

١١ وَعَتَّايُ ٱلسَّادِسُ، وَإِيلِيئِيلُ ٱلسَّابِعُ،

12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

١٢ وَيُوحَانَانُ ٱلثَّامِنُ، وَأَلْزَابَادُ ٱلتَّاسِعُ

13 Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh.

١٣ وَيَرْمِيَا ٱلْعَّاشِرُ، وَمَخْبَنَّايُ ٱلْحَادِي عَشَرَ.

14 These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.

١٤ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ بَنِي جَادَ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْجَيْشِ. صَغِيرُهُمْ لِمِئَةٍ، وَٱلْكَبِيرُ لِأَلْفٍ.

15 These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks, and they put to flight all those in the valleys, both to the east and to the west.

١٥ هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ عَبَرُوا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ وَهُوَ مُمْتَلِئٌ إِلَى جَمِيعِ شُطُوطِهِ وَهَزَمُوا كُلَّ أَهْلِ ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ شَرْقًا وَغَرْبًا.

16 Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.

١٦ وَجَاءَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ وَيَهُوذَا إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ.

17 And David went out to meet them, saying, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free of violence, may the God of our fathers see it and judge you.”

١٧ فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ وَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ جِئْتُمْ بِسَلَامٍ إِلَيَّ لِتُسَاعِدُونِي، يَكُونُ لِي مَعَكُمْ قَلْبٌ وَاحِدٌ. وَإِنْ كَانَ لِكَيْ تَدْفَعُونِي لِعَدُوِّي وَلَا ظُلْمَ فِي يَدَيَّ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَهُ آبَائِنَا وَيُنْصِفْ».

18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the chief of the Thirty, and he said: “We are yours, O David! We are with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers, for your God helps you.” So David received them and made them leaders of his troops.

١٨ فَحَلَّ ٱلرُّوحُ عَلَى عَمَاسَايَ رَأْسِ ٱلثَّوَالِثِ فَقَالَ: «لَكَ نَحْنُ يَا دَاوُدُ، وَمَعَكَ نَحْنُ يَا ٱبْنَ يَسَّى. سَلَامٌ سَلَامٌ لَكَ، وَسَلَامٌ لِمُسَاعِدِيكَ. لِأَنَّ إِلَهَكَ مُعِينُكَ». فَقَبِلَهُمْ دَاوُدُ وَجَعَلَهُمْ رُؤُوسَ ٱلْجُيُوشِ.

19 Some from Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (They did not help the Philistines because the Philistine rulers consulted and sent David away, saying, “It will cost us our heads if he defects to his master Saul.”)

١٩ وَسَقَطَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ بَعْضٌ مِنْ مَنَسَّى حِينَ جَاءَ مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ضِدَّ شَاوُلَ لِلْقِتَالِ وَلَمْ يُسَاعِدُوهُمْ، لِأَنَّ أَقْطَابَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَرْسَلُوهُ بِمَشُورَةٍ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّمَا بِرُؤُوسِنَا يَسْقُطُ إِلَى سَيِّدِهِ شَاوُلَ».

20 When David went to Ziklag, these men of Manasseh defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh.

٢٠ حِينَ ٱنْطَلَقَ إِلَى صِقْلَغَ سَقَطَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَنَسَّى عَدْنَاحُ وَيُوزَابَادُ وَيَدِيعَئِيلُ وَمِيخَائِيلُ وَيُوزَابَادُ وَأَلِيهُو وَصِلْتَايُ رُؤُوسُ أُلُوفِ مَنَسَّى.

21 They helped David against the raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.

٢١ وَهُمْ سَاعَدُوا دَاوُدَ عَلَى ٱلْغُزَاةِ لِأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعًا جَبَابِرَةُ بَأْسٍ، وَكَانُوا رُؤَسَاءَ فِي ٱلْجَيْشِ.

22 For at that time men came to David day after day to help him, until he had a great army, like the army of God.

٢٢ لِأَنَّهُ وَقْتَئِذٍ أَتَى أُنَاسٌ إِلَى دَاوُدَ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا لِمُسَاعَدَتِهِ حَتَّى صَارُوا جَيْشًا عَظِيمًا كَجَيْشِ ٱللهِ.

23 Now these are the numbers of men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, in accordance with the word of the LORD:

٢٣ وَهَذَا عَدَدُ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْمُتَجَرِّدِينَ لِلْقِتَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَى دَاوُدَ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ لِيُحَوِّلُوا مَمْلَكَةَ شَاوُلَ إِلَيْهِ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

24 From Judah: 6,800 armed troops bearing shields and spears.

٢٤ بَنُو يَهُوذَا حَامِلُو ٱلْأَتْرَاسِ وَٱلرِّمَاحِ سِتَّةُ آلَافٍ وَثَمَانِ مِئَةِ مُتَجَرِّدٍ لِلْقِتَالِ.

25 From Simeon: 7,100 mighty men of valor, ready for battle.

٢٥ مِنْ بَنِي شِمْعُونَ جَبَابِرَةُ بَأْسٍ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ سَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ وَمِئَةٌ.

26 From Levi: 4,600,

٢٦ مِنْ بَنِي لَاوِي أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ.

27 including Jehoiada, leader of the house of Aaron, with 3,700 men,

٢٧ وَيَهُويَادَاعُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْهَارُونِيِّينَ وَمَعَهُ ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافٍ وَسَبْعُ مِئَةٍ.

28 and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family.

٢٨ وَصَادُوقُ غُلَامٌ جَبَّارُ بَأْسٍ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيهِ ٱثْنَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ قَائِدًا.

29 From Benjamin, the kinsmen of Saul: 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to the house of Saul up to that time.

٢٩ وَمِنْ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ إِخْوَةُ شَاوُلَ ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافٍ، وَإِلَى هُنَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ بَيْتِ شَاوُلَ.

30 From Ephraim: 20,800 mighty men of valor, famous among their own clans.

٣٠ وَمِنْ بَنِي أَفْرَايِمَ عِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا وَثَمَانُ مِئَةٍ، جَبَابِرَةُ بَأْسٍ وَذَوُو ٱسْمٍ فِي بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ.

31 From the half-tribe of Manasseh: 18,000 designated by name to come and make David king.

٣١ وَمِنْ نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا قَدْ تَعَيَّنُوا بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ لِكَيْ يَأْتُوا وَيُمَلِّكُوا دَاوُدَ.

32 From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.

٣٢ وَمِنْ بَنِي يَسَّاكَرَ ٱلْخَبِيرِينَ بِٱلْأَوْقَاتِ لِمَعْرِفَةِ مَا يَعْمَلُ إِسْرَائِيلُ، رُؤُوسُهُمْ مِئَتَانِ، وَكُلُّ إِخْوَتِهِمْ تَحْتَ أَمْرِهِمْ.

33 From Zebulun: 50,000 fit for service, trained for battle with all kinds of weapons of war, who with one purpose were devoted to David.

٣٣ مِنْ زَبُولُونَ ٱلْخَارِجُونَ لِلْقِتَالِ ٱلْمُصْطَفُّونَ لِلْحَرْبِ بِجَمِيعِ أَدَوَاتِ ٱلْحَرْبِ خَمْسُونَ أَلْفًا، وَلِلِٱصْطِفَافِ مِنْ دُونِ خِلَافٍ.

34 From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders, accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.

٣٤ وَمِنْ نَفْتَالِي أَلْفُ رَئِيسٍ وَمَعَهُمْ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ أَلْفًا بِٱلْأَتْرَاسِ وَٱلرِّمَاحِ.

35 From Dan: 28,600 prepared for battle.

٣٥ وَمِنَ ٱلدَّانِيِّينَ مُصْطَفُّونَ لِلْحَرْبِ ثَمَانِيَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ.

36 From Asher: 40,000 fit for service, prepared for battle.

٣٦ وَمِنْ أَشِيرَ ٱلْخَارِجُونَ لِلْجَيْشِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلِٱصْطِفَافِ لِلْحَرْبِ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفًا.

37 And from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh there: 120,000 armed with every kind of weapon of war.

٣٧ وَمِنْ عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى بِجَمِيعِ أَدَوَاتِ جَيْشِ ٱلْحَرْبِ مِئَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا.

38 All these men of war, arrayed for battle, came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. And all the rest of the Israelites were of one mind to make David king.

٣٨ كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ رِجَالُ حَرْبٍ يَصْطَفُّونَ صُفُوفًا، أَتَوْا بِقَلْبٍ تَامٍّ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ لِيُمَلِّكُوا دَاوُدَ عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ بَقِيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِقَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ لِتَمْلِيكِ دَاوُدَ.

39 They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them.

٣٩ وَكَانُوا هُنَاكَ مَعَ دَاوُدَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ لِأَنَّ إِخْوَتَهُمْ أَعَدُّوا لَهُمْ.

40 And their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen—abundant supplies of flour, fig cakes and raisin cakes, wine and oil, oxen and sheep. Indeed, there was joy in Israel.

٤٠ وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلْقَرِيبُونَ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى يَسَّاكَرَ وَزَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِي، كَانُوا يَأْتُونَ بِخُبْزٍ عَلَى ٱلْحَمِيرِ وَٱلْجِمَالِ وَٱلْبِغَالِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ، وَبِطَعَامٍ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ وَتِينٍ وَزَبِيبٍ وَخَمْرٍ وَزَيْتٍ وَبَقَرٍ وَغَنَمٍ بِكَثْرَةٍ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ فَرَحٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.
