2 Samuel 1
1 After the death of Saul, David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag two days.
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ شَاوُلَ وَرُجُوعِ دَاوُدَ مِنْ مُضَارَبَةِ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةِ، أَنَّ دَاوُدَ أَقَامَ فِي صِقْلَغَ يَوْمَيْنِ. | ١ |
2 On the third day a man with torn clothes and dust on his head arrived from Saul’s camp. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him homage.
| وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ إِذَا بِرَجُلٍ أَتَى مِنَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ مِنْ عِنْدِ شَاوُلَ وَثِيَابُهُ مُمَزَّقَةٌ وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ تُرَابٌ. فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ خَرَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ. | ٢ |
3 “Where have you come from?” David asked. “I have escaped from the Israelite camp,” he replied.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ: «مِنْ مَحَلَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَجَوْتُ». | ٣ |
4 “What was the outcome?” David asked. “Please tell me.” “The troops fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ: «كَيْفَ كَانَ ٱلْأَمْرُ؟ أَخْبِرْنِي». فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَدْ هَرَبَ مِنَ ٱلْقِتَالِ، وَسَقَطَ أَيْضًا كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَمَاتُوا، وَمَاتَ شَاوُلُ وَيُونَاثَانُ ٱبْنُهُ أَيْضًا». | ٤ |
5 Then David asked the young man who had brought him the report, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْغُلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ: «كَيْفَ عَرَفْتَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ شَاوُلُ وَيُونَاثَانُ ٱبْنُهُ؟» | ٥ |
6 “I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” he replied, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and the cavalry closing in on him.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْغُلَامُ ٱلَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ: «ٱتَّفَقَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ وَإِذَا شَاوُلُ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى رُمْحِهِ، وَإِذَا بِٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَٱلْفُرْسَانِ يَشُدُّونَ وَرَاءَهُ. | ٦ |
7 When he turned around and saw me, he called out and I answered, ‘Here I am!’
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى وَرَائِهِ فَرَآنِي وَدَعَانِي فَقُلْتُ: هَأَنَذَا. | ٧ |
8 ‘Who are you?’ he asked. So I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
| فَقَالَ لِي: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: عَمَالِيقِيٌّ أَنَا. | ٨ |
9 Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’
| فَقَالَ لِي: قِفْ عَلَيَّ وَٱقْتُلْنِي لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱعْتَرَانِيَ ٱلدُّوَارُ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ نَفْسِي بَعْدُ فِيَّ. | ٩ |
10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.”
| فَوَقَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَتَلْتُهُ لِأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَعِيشُ بَعْدَ سُقُوطِهِ، وَأَخَذْتُ ٱلْإِكْلِيلَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَٱلسِّوارَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ وَأَتَيْتُ بِهِمَا إِلَى سَيِّدِي هَهُنَا». | ١٠ |
11 Then David took hold of his own clothes and tore them, and all the men who were with him did the same.
| فَأَمْسَكَ دَاوُدُ ثِيَابَهُ وَمَزَّقَهَا، وَكَذَا جَمِيعُ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ. | ١١ |
12 They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the people of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
| وَنَدَبُوا وَبَكَوْا وَصَامُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَعَلَى يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِهِ، وَعَلَى شَعْبِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَنَّهُمْ سَقَطُوا بِٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١٢ |
13 And David inquired of the young man who had brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I am the son of a foreigner,” he answered. “I am an Amalekite.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْغُلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنَا ٱبْنُ رَجُلٍ غَرِيبٍ، عَمَالِيقِيٍّ». | ١٣ |
14 So David asked him, “Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ: «كَيْفَ لَمْ تَخَفْ أَنْ تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ لِتُهْلِكَ مَسِيحَ ٱلرَّبِّ؟». | ١٤ |
15 Then David summoned one of the young men and said, “Go, execute him!” So the young man struck him down, and he died.
| ثُمَّ دَعَا دَاوُدُ وَاحِدًا مِنَ ٱلْغِلْمَانِ وَقَالَ: «تَقَدَّمْ. أَوْقِعْ بِهِ». فَضَرَبَهُ فَمَاتَ. | ١٥ |
16 For David had said to the Amalekite, “Your blood be on your own head because your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I killed the LORD’s anointed.’”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ: «دَمُكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ لِأَنَّ فَمَكَ شَهِدَ عَلَيْكَ قَائِلًا: أَنَا قَتَلْتُ مَسِيحَ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٦ |
17 Then David took up this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan,
| وَرَثَا دَاوُدُ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْمَرْثَاةِ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنَهُ، | ١٧ |
18 and he ordered that the sons of Judah be taught the Song of the Bow. It is written in the Book of Jashar:
| وَقَالَ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ بَنُو يَهُوذَا «نَشِيدَ ٱلْقَوْسِ». هُوَذَا ذَلِكَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي سِفْرِ يَاشَرَ: | ١٨ |
19 “Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen!
| «اَلظَّبْيُ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ مَقْتُولٌ عَلَى شَوَامِخِكَ. كَيْفَ سَقَطَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ! | ١٩ |
20 Tell it not in Gath; proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, and the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
| لَا تُخْبِرُوا فِي جَتَّ. لَا تُبَشِّرُوا فِي أَسْوَاقِ أَشْقَلُونَ، لِئَلَّا تَفْرَحَ بَنَاتُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، لِئَلَّا تَشْمَتَ بَنَاتُ ٱلْغُلْفِ. | ٢٠ |
21 O mountains of Gilboa, may you have no dew or rain, no fields yielding offerings of grain. For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.
| يَاجِبَالَ جِلْبُوعَ لَا يَكُنْ طَلٌّ وَلَا مَطَرٌ عَلَيْكُنَّ، وَلَا حُقُولُ تَقْدِمَاتٍ، لِأَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ طُرِحَ مِجَنُّ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ، مِجَنُّ شَاوُلَ بِلَا مَسْحٍ بِٱلدُّهْنِ. | ٢١ |
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not retreat, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
| مِنْ دَمِ ٱلْقَتْلَى، مِنْ شَحْمِ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ لَمْ تَرْجِعْ قَوْسُ يُونَاثَانَ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَسَيْفُ شَاوُلَ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ خَائِبًا. | ٢٢ |
23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in life, were not divided in death. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
| شَاوُلُ وَيُونَاثَانُ ٱلْمَحْبُوبَانِ وَٱلْحُلْوَانِ فِي حَيَاتِهِمَا لَمْ يَفْتَرِقَا فِي مَوْتِهِمَا. أَخَفُّ مِنَ ٱلنُّسُورِ وَأَشَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْأُسُودِ. | ٢٣ |
24 O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and luxury, who decked your garments with ornaments of gold.
| يَا بَنَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱبْكِينَ شَاوُلَ ٱلَّذِي أَلْبَسَكُنَّ قِرْمِزًا بِٱلتَّنَعُّمِ، وَجَعَلَ حُلِيَّ ٱلذَّهَبِ عَلَى مَلَابِسِكُنَّ. | ٢٤ |
25 How the mighty have fallen in the thick of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights.
| كَيْفَ سَقَطَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْحَرْبِ! يُونَاثَانُ عَلَى شَوَامِخَكِ مَقْتُولٌ. | ٢٥ |
26 I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother. You were delightful to me; your love to me was extraordinary, surpassing the love of women.
| قَدْ تَضَايَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَخِي يُونَاثَانُ. كُنْتَ حُلْوًا لِي جِدًّا. مَحَبَّتُكَ لِي أَعْجَبُ مِنْ مَحَبَّةِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ. | ٢٦ |
27 How the mighty have fallen and the weapons of war have perished!”
| كَيْفَ سَقَطَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ وَبَادَتْ آلَاتُ ٱلْحَرْبِ!». | ٢٧ |
