< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 After the death of Saul, when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and had beene two dayes in Ziklag,
وَبَعْدَ مَوْتِ شَاوُلَ وَعَوْدَةِ دَاوُدَ منْ مُحَارَبَةِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ مَكَثَ دَاوُدُ فِي صِقْلَغَ يَوْمَيْنِ.١
2 Behold, a man came the third day out of the host from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head: and when hee came to Dauid, he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
وَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ مِنْ مُعَسْكَرِ شَاوُلَ بِثِيَابٍ مُمَزَّقَةٍ وَرَأْسٍ مُعَفَّرٍ وَخَرَّ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ دَاوُدَ سَاجِداً.٢
3 Then Dauid saide vnto him, Whence commest thou? And he said vnto him, Out of the host of Israel I am escaped.
فَسَأَلَهُ دَاوُدُ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «مِنْ مُعَسْكَرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَاجِياً بِنَفْسِي».٣
4 And Dauid saide vnto him, What is done? I pray thee, tell me. Then he said, that the people is fled from the battel, and many of the people are ouerthrowen, and dead, and also Saul and Ionathan his sonne are dead.
فَسَأَلَهُ دَاوُدُ: «مَاذَا جَرَى؟ أَخْبِرْنِي» فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ هَرَبَ الْجَيْشُ مِنْ سَاحَةِ الْقِتَالِ، وَقُتِلَ جَمعٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَمَاتَ شَاوُلُ وَابْنُهُ يُونَاثَانُ أَيْضاً»٤
5 And Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Howe knowest thou that Saul and Ionathan his sonne be dead?
فَسَأَلَهُ دَاوُدُ: «كَيْفَ عَرَفْتَ بِمَوْتِ شَاوُلَ وَابْنِهِ يُونَاثَانَ؟»٥
6 Then the yong man that tolde him, answered, As I came to mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned vpon his speare, and loe, the charets and horsemen followed hard after him.
فَأَجَابَ: «صَادَفَ أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ عِنْدَمَا رَأَيْتُ شَاوُلَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى رُمْحِهِ وَعَرَبَاتُ الأَعْدَاءِ وَفُرْسَانُهُمْ يَتَعَقَّبُونَهُ.٦
7 And when he looked backe, he saw me, and called me. And I answered, Here am I.
وَمَالَبِثَ أَنِ الْتَفَتَ وَرَاءَهُ. وَحِينَ شَاهَدَنِي استَدْعَانِي إِلَيْهِ.٧
8 And he said vnto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
وَسَأَلَنِي: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَأَجَبْتُ: عَمَالِيقِيٌّ٨
9 Then saide hee vnto me, I pray thee come vpon mee, and slay me: for anguish is come vpon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
فَقَالَ لِي: قِفْ عَلَيَّ وَاقْتُلْنِي لأَنَّنِي أُقَاسِي مِنْ فَرْطِ الأَلَمِ، وَالْحَيَاةُ مَازَالَتْ تَسْرِي فِي جَسَدِي.٩
10 So I came vpon him, and slewe him, and because I was sure that hee coulde not liue, after that hee had fallen, I tooke the crowne that was vpon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arme, and brought them hither vnto my lord.
فَوَقَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَتَلْتُهُ، لأَنَّنِي أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّهُ مَيْتٌ لَا مَحَالَةَ بَعْدَ سُقُوطِهِ، فَأَخَذْتُ الإِكْلِيلَ الَّذِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ وَالسُّوَارَ الَّذِي عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ وَأَتَيْتُ بِهِمَا إِلَى سَيِّدِي».١٠
11 Then Dauid tooke hold on his clothes, and rent them, and likewise al the men that were with him.
فَمَزَّقَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ ثِيَابَهُمْ.١١
12 And they mourned and wept, and fasted vntil euen, for Saul and for Ionathan his sonne, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were slaine with the sword.
وَنَدَبُوا وَنَاحُوا وَصَامُوا إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَعَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي الْمَعْرَكَةِ.١٢
13 Afterward Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Whence art thou? And hee answered, I am the sonne of a stranger an Amalekite.
ثُمَّ قَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي أَبْلَغَهُ النَّبَأَ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنَا ابْنُ رَجُلٍ غَرِيبٍ، عَمَالِيقِيٌّ»١٣
14 And Dauid said vnto him, How wast thou not afrayd, to put forth thine hand to destroy the Anoynted of the Lord?
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «كَيْفَ جَرُؤْتَ أَنْ تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ لِتَقْتُلَ الْمَلِكَ مُخْتَارَ الرَّبِّ؟»١٤
15 Then Dauid called one of his yong men, and said, Goe neere, and fall vpon him. And hee smote him that he dyed.
وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ أَحَدَ رِجَالِهِ قَائِلاً: «تَقَدَّمْ، وَاقْتُلْهُ». فَأَغْمَدَ فِيهِ سَيْفَهُ فَمَاتَ.١٥
16 Then said Dauid vnto him, Thy blood be vpon thine owne head: for thine owne mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I haue slaine the Lords Anoynted.
وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «دَمُكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ، لأَنَّ فَمَكَ شَهِدَ عَلَيْكَ بَعْدَ اعْتِرَافِكَ أَنَّكَ قَتَلْتَ مُخْتَارَ الرَّبِّ».١٦
17 Then Dauid mourned with this lamentation ouer Saul, and ouer Ionathan his sonne,
وَرَثَا دَاوُدُ شَاوُلَ وَابْنَهُ يُونَاثَانَ بِهَذِهِ الْمَرْثَاةِ،١٧
18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Iudah to shoote, as it is written in the booke of Iasher)
وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَهَا بَنُو يَهُوذَا، وَهِيَ بِعُنْوَانِ: «نَشِيدُ الْقَوْسِ» الْمُدَوَّنَةُ فِي سِفْرِ يَاشَرَ.١٨
19 O noble Israel, hee is slane vpon thy hie places: how are the mightie ouerthrowen!
«مَجْدُكَ، مَجْدُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ صَرِيعٌ فَوْقَ رَوَابِيكَ. كَيْفَ تَهَاوَى الأَبْطَالُ؟١٩
20 Tell it not in Gath, nor publish it in the streetes of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistims reioyce, lest the daughters of the vncircumcised triumph.
لَا تُخْبِرُوا فِي جَتَّ، وَلا تُبَشِّرُوا فِي شَوَارِعِ أَشْقَلُونَ، لِئَلّا تَفْرَحَ بَنَاتُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، لِئَلّا تَشْمَتَ بَنَاتُ الْغُلْفِ.٢٠
21 Ye mountaines of Gilboa, vpon you be neither dewe nor raine, nor be there fieldes of offrings: for there the shielde of the mightie is cast downe, the shielde of Saul, as though he had not bene anointed with oyle.
يَا جِبَالَ جِلْبُوعَ، لَا يَكُنْ عَلَيْكُنَّ طَلٌّ وَلا مَطَرٌ، وَلا حُقُولٌ تُغِلُّ مَحَاصِيلَ تَقْدِمَاتٍ، لأَنَّ هُنَاكَ تَهَاوَى تُرْسُ الأَبْطَالِ. تُرْسُ شَاوُلَ لَمْ يَعُدْ يَلْمَعُ بِالزَّيْتِ.٢١
22 The bow of Ionathan neuer turned backe, neither did the sword of Saul returne emptie from the blood of the slaine, and from the fatte of the mightie.
مِنْ دَمِ الْقَتْلَى، وَمِنْ لَحْمِ الشُّجْعَانِ لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ قَوْسُ يُونَاثَانَ، وَسَيْفُ شَاوُلَ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ مُخْفِقاً.٢٢
23 Saul and Ionathan were louely and pleasant in their liues, and in their deaths they were not deuided: they were swifter then eagles, they were stronger then lions.
شَاوُلُ وَيُونَاثَانُ الْمَحْبُوبَانِ، وَمَثَارَا الإِعْجَابِ فِي حَيَاتِهِمَا لَمْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى فِي الْمَوْتِ. كَانَا أَخَفَّ مِنَ النُّسُورِ، وَأَقْوَى مِنَ الأُسُودِ.٢٣
24 Yee daughters of Israel, weepe for Saul, which clothed you in skarlet, with pleasures, and hanged ornaments of gold vpon your apparel.
يَا بَنَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، نُحْنَ عَلَى شَاوُلَ الَّذِي أَلْبَسَكُنَّ ثِيَابَ الْقِرْمِزِ وَرَفَّهَكُنَّ وَزَيَّنَ ثِيَابَكُنَّ بِالْحُلِيِّ الذَّهَبِيَّةِ.٢٤
25 Howe were the mightie slaine in the mids of the battel! O Ionathan, thou wast slaine in thine hie places.
كَيْفَ تَهَاوَى الأَبْطَالُ فِي خِضَمِّ الْحَرْبِ؟ يُونَاثَانُ عَلَى رَوَابِيكِ مَقْتُولٌ.٢٥
26 Wo is me for thee, my brother Ionathan: very kinde hast thou bene vnto me: thy loue to me was wonderfull, passing the loue of women:
لَشَدَّ مَا تَضَايَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ ياأَخِي يُونَاثَانُ. كُنْتَ عَزِيزاً جِدّاً عَلَيَّ، وَمَحَبَّتُكَ لِي كَانَتْ مَحَبَّةً عَجِيبَةً، أَرْوَعَ مِنْ مَحَبَّةِ النِّسَاءِ.٢٦
27 howe are the mightie ouerthrowen, and the weapons of warre destroyed!
كَيْفَ تَهَاوَى الأَبْطَالُ وَفَنِيَتْ عُدَّةُ الْقِتَالِ».٢٧
