2 Samuel 2
1 After this, Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go vp into any of the cities of Iudah? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Goe vp. And Dauid sayd Whither shall I goe? Hee then answered, Vnto Hebron.
| ثُمَّ اسْتَشَارَ دَاوُدُ الرَّبَّ: «هَلْ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَى إِحْدَى مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا؟» فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «اذْهَبْ». فَسَأَلَ: «إِلَى أَيَّةِ مَدِينَةٍ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «إِلَى حَبْرُونَ». | ١ |
2 So Dauid went vp thither, and his two wiues also, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail Nabals wife the Carmelite.
| فَانْطَلَقَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ بصُحْبَةِ زَوْجَتَيْهِ أَخِينُوعَمَ الْيَزْرَعِيلِيَّةِ وَأَبِيجَايِلَ أَرْمَلَةِ نَابَالَ الْكَرْمَلِيِّ. | ٢ |
3 And Dauid brought vp the men that were with him, euery man with his houshold, and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
| وَاصْطَحَبَ مَعَهُ رِجَالَهُ وَأَهْلَ بُيُوتِهِمْ، فَأَقَامُوا فِي مُدُنِ حَبْرُونَ. | ٣ |
4 Then the men of Iudah came, and there they anoynted Dauid King ouer the house of Iudah. And they tolde Dauid, saying, that the men of Iabesh Gilead buried Saul.
| وَجَاءَ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا فَنَصَّبُوا دَاوُدَ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ. وَعِنْدَمَا عَلِمَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ رِجَالَ يَابِيشَ جِلْعَادَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ دَفَنُوا شَاوُلَ، | ٤ |
5 And Dauid sent messengers vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, and said vnto them, Blessed are ye of the Lord, that yee haue shewed such kindenes vnto your lord Saul, that you haue buried him.
| بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِرُسُلٍ قَائِلاً: «لِتَكُونُوا مُبَارَكِينَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ لأَنَّكُمْ صَنَعْتُمْ هَذَا الْمَعْرُوفَ بِسَيِّدِكُمْ شَاوُلَ فَدَفَنْتُمُوهُ. | ٥ |
6 Therefore now the Lord shewe mercie and trueth vnto you: and I will recompence you this benefite, because ye haue done this thing.
| فَلْيُكَافِئْكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِحْسَاناً وَخَيْراً، وَأَنَا أَيْضاً أُجَازِيكُمْ خَيْراً لِقَاءَ حُسْنِ عَمَلِكُمْ. | ٦ |
7 Therefore nowe let your handes be strong, and be you valiant: albeit your master Saul bee dead, yet neuerthelesse the house of Iudah hath anoynted me King ouer them.
| وَالآنَ تَشَجَّعُوا وَكُونُوا أَبْطَالاً لأَنَّ سَيِّدَكُمْ مَاتَ، وَقَدْ نَصَّبَنِي بَيْتُ يَهُوذَا مَلِكاً عَلَيْكُمْ». | ٧ |
8 But Abner the sonne of Ner that was captaine of Sauls hoste, tooke Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and brought him to Mahanaim,
| وَأَمَّا أَبْنَيْرُ بْنُ نَيْرٍ قَائِدُ جَيْشِ شَاوُلَ فَأَخَذَ إِيشْبُوشَثَ بْنَ شَاوُلَ وَاجْتَازَ بِهِ الأُرْدُنَّ إِلَى مَحَنَايِمَ، | ٨ |
9 And made him King ouer Gilead, and ouer the Ashurites, and ouer Izreel, and ouer Ephraim, and ouer Beniamin, and ouer al Israel.
| وَأَقَامَهُ مَلِكاً عَلَى الْجِلْعَادِيِّينَ وَالأَشِيرِيِّينَ وَالْيَزْرَعِيلِيِّينَ وَعَلَى بَنِي أَفْرَايِمَ وَبَنِي بِنْيَامِينَ وَسَائِرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٩ |
10 Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne was fourtie yeere olde when he began to reigne ouer Israel, and reigned two yeere: but the house of Iudah followed Dauid.
| وَكَانَ إِيشْبُوشَثُ بْنُ شَاوُلَ فِي الأَرْبَعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَظَلَّ فِي الْحُكْمِ سَنَتَيْنِ، أَمَّا سِبْطُ يَهُوذَا فَقَدِ الْتَفَّ حَوْلَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٠ |
11 (And the time which Dauid reigned in Hebron ouer the house of Iudah, was seuen yeere and sixe moneths)
| وَمَلَكَ دَاوُدُ فِي حَبْرُونَ عَلَى سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا سَبْعَ سَنَوَاتٍ وَسِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ١١ |
12 And Abner the sonne of Ner, and the seruantes of Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul went out of Mahanaim to Gibeon.
| وَتوَجَّهَ أَبْنَيْرُ بْنُ نَيْرٍ مَعَ بَعْضِ قُوَّاتِ إِيشْبُوشَثَ مِنْ مَحَنَايِمَ إِلَى جِبْعُونَ، | ١٢ |
13 And Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and the seruants of Dauid went out and met one another by the poole of Gibeon: and they sate downe, the one on the one side of the poole, and the other on the otherside of the poole.
| وَكَذَلِكَ خَرَجَ يُوآبُ بْنُ صُرُوِيَّةَ مَعَ بَعْضِ قُوَّاتِ دَاوُدَ فَالْتَقَوْا جَمِيعاً عِنْدَ بِرْكَةِ جِبْعُونَ، فَجَلَسَ كُلُّ فَرِيقٍ مُقَابِلَ الآخَرِ عَلَى جَانِبَيِ الْبِرْكَةِ. | ١٣ |
14 Then Abner saide to Ioab, Let the yong men nowe arise, and play before vs. And Ioab said, Let them arise.
| فَقَالَ أَبْنَيْرُ لِيُوآبَ: «لِيَقُمْ جُنُودُنَا لِلْمُبَارَزَةِ أَمَامَنَا». فَأَجَابَ يُوآبُ: لِيَقُومُوا. | ١٤ |
15 Then there arose and went ouer twelue of Beniamin by number, which perteined to Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and twelue of the seruants of Dauid.
| فَهَبَّ اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي بِنْيَامِينَ مِنْ أَتْبَاعِ إِيشْبُوشَثَ وَاثْنَا عَشَرَ مِنْ قُوَّاتِ دَاوُدَ. | ١٥ |
16 And euery one caught his fellowe by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellowes side, so they fell downe together: wherefore ye place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
| وَاشْتَبَكَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَعَ نَدِّهِ وَأَغْمَدَ سَيْفَهُ فِيهِ، فَمَاتُوا جَمِيعاً. وَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعُ «حِلْقَثَ هَصُّورِيمَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ حَقْلُ السُّيُوفِ). الَّتِي هِيَ فِي جِبْعُونَ. | ١٦ |
17 And the battel was exceeding sore that same day: for Abner and the men of Israel fell before the seruants of Dauid.
| وَاشْتَدَّ الْقِتَالُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، فَانْكَسَرَ أَبْنَيْرُ وَرِجَالُهُ أَمَامَ قُوَّاتِ دَاوُدَ. | ١٧ |
18 And there were three sonnes of Zeruiah there, Ioab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as light on foote as a wilde roe.
| وَكَانَ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ رِجَالِ دَاوُدَ هُنَاكَ أَبْنَاءُ صُرُوِيَّةَ: يُوآبُ وَأَبِيشَايُ وَعَسَائِيلُ. وَكَانَ عَسَائِيلُ سَرِيعَ الْعَدْوِ كَالْغَزَالِ الْبَرِّيِّ. | ١٨ |
19 And Asahel followed after Abner, and in going he turned neither to the right hand nor to the left from Abner.
| فَتَعَقَّبَ عَسَائِيلُ أَبْنَيْرَ وَلَمْ يَمِلْ عَنْهُ يَمْنَةً أَوْ يَسْرَةً. | ١٩ |
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, Yea.
| فَالْتَفَتَ أَبْنَيْرُ وَرَاءَهُ وَتَسَاءَلَ: «هَلْ أَنْتَ عَسَائِيلُ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «أَنَا هُوَ». | ٢٠ |
21 Then Abner said, Turne thee either to the right hande, or to the left, and take one of the yong men, and take thee his weapons: and Asahel would not depart from him.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «تَنَحَّ عَنِّي وَاقْبِضْ عَلَى أَحَدِ الرِّجَالِ الآخَرِينَ وَاسْلُبْهُ سِلاحَهُ». غَيْرَ أَنَّ عَسَائِيلَ ظَلَّ يَسْعَى فِي أَثَرِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 And Abner saide to Asahel, Depart from me: wherefore shoulde I smite thee to the grounde? howe then shoulde I be able to holde vp my face to Ioab thy brother?
| ثُمَّ عَادَ أَبْنَيْرُ يُلِحُّ عَلَى عَسَائِيلَ أَنْ يَكُفَّ عَنْهُ قَائِلاً: «لِمَاذَا تَدْفَعُنِي إِلَى قَتْلِكَ؟ وَكَيْفَ يُمْكِنُنِي أَنْ أُوَاجِهَ أَخَاكَ يُوآبَ إذَا قَتَلْتُكَ؟» | ٢٢ |
23 And when he woulde not depart, Abner with the hinder ende of the speare smote him vnder the fift ryb, that the speare came out behind him: and he fell downe there, and dyed in his place. And as many as came to the place where Asahel fell downe and dyed, stoode still.
| لَكِنَّ عَسَائِيلَ أَبَى أَنْ يَتَنَحَّى عَنْهُ، فَطَعَنَهُ أَبْنَيْرُ بِعَقِبِ الرُّمْحِ، فَغَاصَ الرُّمْحُ فِي بَطْنِهِ وَخَرَجَ مِنْ ظَهْرِهِ، فَوَقَعَ صَرِيعاً وَمَاتَ فِي مَكَانِهِ. فَكَانَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَمُرُّ بِالْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي صُرِعَ فِيهِ عَسَائِيلُ يَتَوَقَّفُ عِنْدَهُ. | ٢٣ |
24 Ioab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sunne went downe, when they were come to the hill Ammah, that lieth before Giah, by the way of the wildernesse of Gibeon.
| وَطَارَدَ يُوآبُ وَأَبِيشَايُ أَبْنَيْرَ حَتَّى مَغِيبِ الشَّمْسِ حَيْثُ أَتَيَا إِلَى تَلِّ أَمَّةَ مُقَابِلَ جِيحَ الوَاقِعَةِ عَلَى طَرِيقِ صَحْرَاءِ جِبْعُونَ. | ٢٤ |
25 And the children of Beniamin gathered them selues together after Abner, and were on an heape and stoode on the top of an hill.
| فَاجْتَمَعَ أَبْنَاءُ بِنْيَامِينَ وَرَاءَ أَبْنَيْرَ فِي قُوَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَاصْطَفُّوا عَلى رَأْسِ تَلٍّ وَاحِدٍ. | ٢٥ |
26 Then Abner called to Ioab, and said, Shall the sworde deuoure for euer? knowest thou not, that it will be bitternesse in the latter ende? howe long then shall it be, or thou bid the people returne from following their brethren?
| فَنَادَى أَبْنَيْرُ يُوآبَ قَائِلاً: «أَيَنْبَغِي لِلسَّيْفِ أَنْ يَظَلَّ يَنْهَشُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ عَاقِبَةَ الْقِتَالِ هِي مَرَارَةٌ؟ فَإِلَى مَتَى لَا تَأْمُرُ جَيْشَكَ بِالارْتِدَادِ عَنْ إِخْوَتِهِمْ؟» | ٢٦ |
27 And Ioab sayde, As God liueth, if thou haddest not spoken, surely euen in the morning the people had departed euery one backe from his brother.
| فَقَالَ يُوآبُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ اللهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ لَمْ تَتَكَلَّمْ لَتَعَقَّبَ رِجَالِي فِي الصَّبَاحِ إِخْوَتَهُمْ». | ٢٧ |
28 So Ioab blew a trumpet, and all the people stoode still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
| وَنَفَخَ يُوآبُ بِالْبُوقِ فَكَفَّ جَمِيعُ جَيْشِهِ عَنْ مُطَارَدَةِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ وَامْتَنَعُوا عَنِ الْمُحَارَبَةِ. | ٢٨ |
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plaine, and went ouer Iorden, and past through all Bithron till they came to Mahanaim.
| فَانْطَلَقَ أَبْنَيْرُ وَرِجَالُهُ طَوَالِ اللَّيْلِ عَبْرَ وَادِي الأُرْدُنِّ وَظَلُّوا يَجِدُّونَ فِي السَّيْرِ إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغُوا مَحَنَايِمَ. | ٢٩ |
30 Ioab also returned backe from Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of Dauids seruants nineteene men and Asahel.
| وَرَجَعَ يُوآبُ عَنْ أَبْنَيْرَ، وَجَمَّعَ جَيْشَهُ، فَوَجَدَ أَنَّ الْمَفْقُودِينَ مِنْ قُوَّاتِ دَاوُدَ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلاً بِالإِضَافَةِ إِلى عَسَائِيلَ. | ٣٠ |
31 But the seruants of Dauid had smitten of Beniamin, and of Abners men, so that three hundreth and threescore men dyed.
| أَمَّا الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا مِنَ الْبَنْيَامِينِيِّينَ وَمِنْ رِجَالِ أَبْنَيْرَ عَلَى أَيْدِي قُوَّاتِ دَاوُدَ فَكَانُوا ثَلاثَ مِئَةً وَسِتِّينَ رَجُلاً. | ٣١ |
32 And they tooke vp Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem: and Ioab and his men went all night, and when they came to Hebron, the day arose.
| وَنَقَلُوا عَسَائِيلَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي قَبْرِ أَبِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ. وَسَارَ يُوآبُ وَرِجَالُهُ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ حَتَّى وَصَلُوا حَبْرُونَ عِنْدَ الْفَجْرِ. | ٣٢ |
