< Chronicles I 20 >

1 And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the [time of the] going forth of kings [to war], that Joab gathered the whole force of the army, and they ravaged the land of the children of Ammon; and he came and besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabba and destroyed it.
وَحَدَثَ فِي نِهَايَةِ السَّنَةِ الْعِبْرِيَّةِ، فِي الْمَوْسِمِ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ فِيهِ الْمُلُوكُ لِلْحُرُوبِ، أَنَّ يُوآبَ قَادَ قُوَّاتِ جَيْشِهِ وَخَرَّبَ أَرْضَ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ وَحَاصَرَ الْعَاصِمَةَ رَبَّةَ. وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ آنَئِذٍ مُقِيماً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَتَمَكَّنَ يُوآبُ مِنِ اقْتِحَامِ رَبَّةَ وَتَدْمِيرِهَا.١
2 And David took the crown of Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it was found [to be] a talent of gold, and on it were precious stones; and it was [placed] on the head of David: and he brought out the spoils of the city [which were] very great.
فَتَوَجَّهَ دَاوُدُ نَحْوَ رَبَّةَ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى تَاجِ مَلِكِهَا فَوَجَدَ وَزْنَهُ يُعَادِلُ وَزْنَةً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَفِيهِ حَجَرٌ كَرِيمٌ، فَتَوَّجَ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ، وَسَلَبَ أَيْضاً غَنَائِمَ الْمَدِينَةِ الْوَفِيرَةَ،٢
3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and sawed them asunder with saws, and [cut them] with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus David did to all the children of Ammon. And David and all his people returned to Jerusalem.
وَفَرَضَ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا وَعَلَى بَقِيَّةِ مُدُنِ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ الْعَمَلَ بِالْمَنَاشِيرِ وَمَعَاوِلِ الْحَدِيدِ وَالْفُؤُوسِ. ثُمَّ رَجَعَ دَاوُدُ وَسَائِرُ جَيْشِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.٣
4 And it came to pass afterward that there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer: then Sobochai the Sosathite struck Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low.
ثُمَّ نَشَبَتْ حَرْبٌ مَعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فِي جَازَرَ، فَقَتَلَ سَبْكَايُ الْحُوشِيُّ سَفَّايَ أَحَدَ أَبْنَاءِ رَافَا، فَذَلَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ.٤
5 And there [was] war again with the Philistines; and Eleanan the son of Jair struck Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [was] as a weavers' beam.
وَدَارَتْ مَعْرَكَةٌ ثَانِيَةٌ مَعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَقَتَلَ أَلْحَانَانُ بْنُ يَاعُورَ لَحْمِيَ أَخَا جُلْيَاتَ الْجَتِّيِّ، وَكَانَتْ قَنَاةُ رُمْحِهِ كَنَوْلِ النَّسَّاجِينَ.٥
6 And there was again war in Geth, and there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingers [and toes were] six on each hand and foot, four and twenty; and he was descended from the giants.
ثُمَّ انْدَلَعَتْ نِيرَانُ حَرْبٍ ثَالِثَةٍ مَعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فِي جَتَّ، فَبَرَزَ أَحَدُ أَبْنَاءِ رَافَا، عِمْلاقٌ لَهُ سِتَّةُ أَصَابِعَ فِي كُلٍّ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ،٦
7 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David killed him.
وَشَرَعَ يُعَيِّرُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتَصَدَّى لَهُ يَهُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شِمْعَا وَقَتَلَهُ.٧
8 These were born to Rapha in Geth; all four were giants, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
هَؤُلاءِ الْعَمَالِقَةُ هُمْ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ رَافَا فِي جَتَّ، وَقَدْ هَلَكُوا عَلَى يَدِ دَاوُدَ وَرِجَالِهِ.٨
