< 1 Chronicles 14 >

1 Then Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers to David along with cedar timber, stonemasons, and carpenters to build him a palace.
وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَفْداً، صَحَبَ مَعَهُ بَنَّائِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ مُحَمَّلِينَ بِخَشَبِ أَرْزٍ، لِيَبْنُوا لَهُ قَصْراً.١
2 In this way David realized that the Lord had placed him on the throne as king of Israel and had blessed by supporting his kingdom for the sake of the Lord's people Israel.
فَأَدْرَكَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ ثَبَّتَ دَعَائِمَ مُلْكِهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّ مَمْلَكَتَهُ ازْدَادَتْ رِفْعَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٢
3 David married more wives in Jerusalem, and had more sons and daughters.
وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ تَزَوَّجَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ أَنْجَبْنَ لَهُ أَبْنَاءً وَبَنَاتٍ.٣
4 This is a list of the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ الأَبْنَاءِ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ: شَمُّوعُ وَشُوبَابُ وَنَاثَانُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ،٤
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
وَيِبْحَارُ وَأَلِيشُوعُ وَأَلِفَالَطُ،٥
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
وَنُوجَةُ وَنَافَجُ وَيَافِيعُ،٦
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
وَأَلِشَمَعُ وَبَعَلْيَادَاعُ وَأَلِيفَلَطُ.٧
8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all of Israel, they gathered their whole army to go after him. But David heard they were coming and went out to confront them.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ مَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَشَدُوا قُوَّاتِهِمْ لِيَأْسِرُوهُ. وَحِينَ بَلَغَ دَاوُدَ ذَلِكَ خَرَجَ لِلِقَائِهِمْ.٨
9 The Philistines arrived and raided the valley of Rephaim.
فَجَاءَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ إِلَى وَادِي الرَّفَائِيِّينَ وَانْتَشَرُوا فِيهِ.٩
10 David consulted God, asking “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you make me victorious over them?” “Go ahead,” the Lord told him, “I will make you victorious over them.”
فَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ الرَّبَّ: «هَلْ أُهَاجِمُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَتَنْصُرَنِي عَلَيْهِم؟» فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «هَاجِمْهُمْ فَأَنْصُرَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ».١٠
11 So David attacked and defeated them there at Baal-perazim. “God used me to defeat my enemies like a torrent of water that bursts out,” he declared. That's why the place was named Baal-perazim.
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 The Philistines had left their gods behind, so David gave orders that they should be burned.
وَخَلَّفَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ أَصْنَامَهُمْ، فَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ بِجَمْعِهَا وَإِحْرَاقِهَا بالنَّارِ.١٢
13 However, the Philistines returned and made another raid on the valley.
ثُمَّ عَادَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَاحْتَشَدُوا فِي وَادِي الرَّفَائِيِّينَ.١٣
14 David consulted God again. “Don't make a frontal attack,” God told him. “Instead go around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
فَاسْتَشَارَ دَاوُدُ اللهَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ اللهُ: «لا تُهَاجِمْهُمْ مُبَاشَرَةً، وَلَكِنْ دُرْ حَوْلَهُمْ وَهَاجِمْهُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَشْجَارِ الْبَلْسَمِ.١٤
15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, go and attack for the Lord has gone before you to strike down the Philistine army.”
وَعِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُ وَقْعَ خَطْوَاتٍ فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِ الأَشْجَارِ، خُضِ الْقِتَالَ، لأَنَّ اللهَ يَتَقَدَّمُكَ لِلْقَضَاءِ عَلَى قُوَّاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ».١٥
16 So David did what God told him, striking down the Philistine army all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
فَنَفَّذَ دَاوُدُ أَوَامِرَ الرَّبِّ، وَقَضَى عَلَى قُوَّاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ جِبْعُونَ إِلَى جَازِرَ.١٦
17 As a result David's reputation was spread everywhere, and the Lord made all the nations afraid of David.
فَذَاعَ اسْمُ دَاوُدَ فِي كُلِّ الْبِلادِ، وَجَعَلَ الرَّبُّ هَيْبَتَهُ تَطْغَى عَلى جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ.١٧
