< Chronicles I 14 >

1 And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.
وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَفْداً، صَحَبَ مَعَهُ بَنَّائِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ مُحَمَّلِينَ بِخَشَبِ أَرْزٍ، لِيَبْنُوا لَهُ قَصْراً.١
2 And David knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account of his people Israel.
فَأَدْرَكَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ ثَبَّتَ دَعَائِمَ مُلْكِهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّ مَمْلَكَتَهُ ازْدَادَتْ رِفْعَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٢
3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters.
وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ تَزَوَّجَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ أَنْجَبْنَ لَهُ أَبْنَاءً وَبَنَاتٍ.٣
4 And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ الأَبْنَاءِ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ: شَمُّوعُ وَشُوبَابُ وَنَاثَانُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ،٤
5 and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,
وَيِبْحَارُ وَأَلِيشُوعُ وَأَلِفَالَطُ،٥
6 and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,
وَنُوجَةُ وَنَافَجُ وَيَافِيعُ،٦
7 and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.
وَأَلِشَمَعُ وَبَعَلْيَادَاعُ وَأَلِيفَلَطُ.٧
8 And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [it], and went out to meet them.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ مَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَشَدُوا قُوَّاتِهِمْ لِيَأْسِرُوهُ. وَحِينَ بَلَغَ دَاوُدَ ذَلِكَ خَرَجَ لِلِقَائِهِمْ.٨
9 And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.
فَجَاءَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ إِلَى وَادِي الرَّفَائِيِّينَ وَانْتَشَرُوا فِيهِ.٩
10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hands.
فَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ الرَّبَّ: «هَلْ أُهَاجِمُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَتَنْصُرَنِي عَلَيْهِم؟» فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «هَاجِمْهُمْ فَأَنْصُرَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ».١٠
11 And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.
فَتَوَجَّهَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَعْلِ فَرَاصِيمَ وَهَزَمَهُمْ هُنَاكَ. وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «قَدِ اقْتَحَمَ الرَّبُّ أَعْدَائِي كَاقْتِحَامِ الْمِيَاهِ الْمُتَدَفِّقَةِ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ اسْمُ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ بَعْلَ فَرَاصِيمَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: سَيِّدُ الاقْتِحَامِ).١١
12 And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.
وَخَلَّفَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ أَصْنَامَهُمْ، فَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ بِجَمْعِهَا وَإِحْرَاقِهَا بالنَّارِ.١٢
13 And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley.
ثُمَّ عَادَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَاحْتَشَدُوا فِي وَادِي الرَّفَائِيِّينَ.١٣
14 And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, Thou shalt not go after them; turn away from them, and thou shalt come upon them near the pear trees.
فَاسْتَشَارَ دَاوُدُ اللهَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ اللهُ: «لا تُهَاجِمْهُمْ مُبَاشَرَةً، وَلَكِنْ دُرْ حَوْلَهُمْ وَهَاجِمْهُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَشْجَارِ الْبَلْسَمِ.١٤
15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then thou shalt go into the battle: for God has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.
وَعِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُ وَقْعَ خَطْوَاتٍ فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِ الأَشْجَارِ، خُضِ الْقِتَالَ، لأَنَّ اللهَ يَتَقَدَّمُكَ لِلْقَضَاءِ عَلَى قُوَّاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ».١٥
16 And he did as God commanded him: and he smote the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.
فَنَفَّذَ دَاوُدُ أَوَامِرَ الرَّبِّ، وَقَضَى عَلَى قُوَّاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ جِبْعُونَ إِلَى جَازِرَ.١٦
17 And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
فَذَاعَ اسْمُ دَاوُدَ فِي كُلِّ الْبِلادِ، وَجَعَلَ الرَّبُّ هَيْبَتَهُ تَطْغَى عَلى جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ.١٧
