Kings II 1
1 And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from smiting Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ شَاوُلَ وَرُجُوعِ دَاوُدَ مِنْ مُضَارَبَةِ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةِ، أَنَّ دَاوُدَ أَقَامَ فِي صِقْلَغَ يَوْمَيْنِ. | ١ |
2 And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were rent, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.
| 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 And David said to him, Whence comest thou? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ: «مِنْ مَحَلَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَجَوْتُ». | ٣ |
4 And David said to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are 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 And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْغُلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ: «كَيْفَ عَرَفْتَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ شَاوُلُ وَيُونَاثَانُ ٱبْنُهُ؟» | ٥ |
6 And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْغُلَامُ ٱلَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ: «ٱتَّفَقَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ وَإِذَا شَاوُلُ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى رُمْحِهِ، وَإِذَا بِٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَٱلْفُرْسَانِ يَشُدُّونَ وَرَاءَهُ. | ٦ |
7 And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى وَرَائِهِ فَرَآنِي وَدَعَانِي فَقُلْتُ: هَأَنَذَا. | ٧ |
8 And he said to me, Who art thou? and I said, I am an Amalekite.
| فَقَالَ لِي: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: عَمَالِيقِيٌّ أَنَا. | ٨ |
9 And he said to me, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me.
| فَقَالَ لِي: قِفْ عَلَيَّ وَٱقْتُلْنِي لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱعْتَرَانِيَ ٱلدُّوَارُ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ نَفْسِي بَعْدُ فِيَّ. | ٩ |
10 So I stood over him and slew him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither 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 And David laid hold of his garments, and rent them; and all the men who were with him rent their garments.
| فَأَمْسَكَ دَاوُدُ ثِيَابَهُ وَمَزَّقَهَا، وَكَذَا جَمِيعُ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ. | ١١ |
12 And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were smitten with 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 said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence art thou? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْغُلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنَا ٱبْنُ رَجُلٍ غَرِيبٍ، عَمَالِيقِيٍّ». | ١٣ |
14 And David said to him, How was it thou wast not afraid to lift thy hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?
| فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ: «كَيْفَ لَمْ تَخَفْ أَنْ تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ لِتُهْلِكَ مَسِيحَ ٱلرَّبِّ؟». | ١٤ |
15 And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he smote him, and he died.
| ثُمَّ دَعَا دَاوُدُ وَاحِدًا مِنَ ٱلْغِلْمَانِ وَقَالَ: «تَقَدَّمْ. أَوْقِعْ بِهِ». فَضَرَبَهُ فَمَاتَ. | ١٥ |
16 And David said to him, Thy blood [be] upon thine own head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ: «دَمُكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ لِأَنَّ فَمَكَ شَهِدَ عَلَيْكَ قَائِلًا: أَنَا قَتَلْتُ مَسِيحَ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٦ |
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
| وَرَثَا دَاوُدُ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْمَرْثَاةِ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنَهُ، | ١٧ |
18 And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.
| وَقَالَ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ بَنُو يَهُوذَا «نَشِيدَ ٱلْقَوْسِ». هُوَذَا ذَلِكَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي سِفْرِ يَاشَرَ: | ١٨ |
19 Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
| «اَلظَّبْيُ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ مَقْتُولٌ عَلَى شَوَامِخِكَ. كَيْفَ سَقَطَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ! | ١٩ |
20 Tell it not in Geth, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ascalon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
| لَا تُخْبِرُوا فِي جَتَّ. لَا تُبَشِّرُوا فِي أَسْوَاقِ أَشْقَلُونَ، لِئَلَّا تَفْرَحَ بَنَاتُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، لِئَلَّا تَشْمَتَ بَنَاتُ ٱلْغُلْفِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Ye mountains of Gelbue, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first-fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not 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, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty.
| مِنْ دَمِ ٱلْقَتْلَى، مِنْ شَحْمِ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ لَمْ تَرْجِعْ قَوْسُ يُونَاثَانَ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَسَيْفُ شَاوُلَ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ خَائِبًا. | ٢٢ |
23 Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.
| شَاوُلُ وَيُونَاثَانُ ٱلْمَحْبُوبَانِ وَٱلْحُلْوَانِ فِي حَيَاتِهِمَا لَمْ يَفْتَرِقَا فِي مَوْتِهِمَا. أَخَفُّ مِنَ ٱلنُّسُورِ وَأَشَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْأُسُودِ. | ٢٣ |
24 Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.
| يَا بَنَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱبْكِينَ شَاوُلَ ٱلَّذِي أَلْبَسَكُنَّ قِرْمِزًا بِٱلتَّنَعُّمِ، وَجَعَلَ حُلِيَّ ٱلذَّهَبِ عَلَى مَلَابِسِكُنَّ. | ٢٤ |
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon thy high places!
| كَيْفَ سَقَطَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْحَرْبِ! يُونَاثَانُ عَلَى شَوَامِخَكِ مَقْتُولٌ. | ٢٥ |
26 I am grieved for thee, my brother Jonathan; thou wast very lovely to me; thy love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.
| قَدْ تَضَايَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَخِي يُونَاثَانُ. كُنْتَ حُلْوًا لِي جِدًّا. مَحَبَّتُكَ لِي أَعْجَبُ مِنْ مَحَبَّةِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ. | ٢٦ |
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
| كَيْفَ سَقَطَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ وَبَادَتْ آلَاتُ ٱلْحَرْبِ!». | ٢٧ |
