Kings II 1
1 And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from striking Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
| وَبَعْدَ مَوْتِ شَاوُلَ وَعَوْدَةِ دَاوُدَ منْ مُحَارَبَةِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ مَكَثَ دَاوُدُ 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 tore, 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.
| وَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ مِنْ مُعَسْكَرِ شَاوُلَ بِثِيَابٍ مُمَزَّقَةٍ وَرَأْسٍ مُعَفَّرٍ وَخَرَّ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ دَاوُدَ سَاجِداً. | ٢ |
3 And David said to him, Whence come you? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.
| فَسَأَلَهُ دَاوُدُ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «مِنْ مُعَسْكَرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَاجِياً بِنَفْسِي». | 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.
| فَسَأَلَهُ دَاوُدُ: «مَاذَا جَرَى؟ أَخْبِرْنِي» فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ هَرَبَ الْجَيْشُ مِنْ سَاحَةِ الْقِتَالِ، وَقُتِلَ جَمعٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَمَاتَ شَاوُلُ وَابْنُهُ يُونَاثَانُ أَيْضاً» | ٤ |
5 And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
| فَسَأَلَهُ دَاوُدُ: «كَيْفَ عَرَفْتَ بِمَوْتِ شَاوُلَ وَابْنِهِ يُونَاثَانَ؟» | 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.
| فَأَجَابَ: «صَادَفَ أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ عِنْدَمَا رَأَيْتُ شَاوُلَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى رُمْحِهِ وَعَرَبَاتُ الأَعْدَاءِ وَفُرْسَانُهُمْ يَتَعَقَّبُونَهُ. | ٦ |
7 And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.
| وَمَالَبِثَ أَنِ الْتَفَتَ وَرَاءَهُ. وَحِينَ شَاهَدَنِي استَدْعَانِي إِلَيْهِ. | ٧ |
8 And he said to me, Who are you? and I said, I am an Amalekite.
| وَسَأَلَنِي: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَأَجَبْتُ: عَمَالِيقِيٌّ | ٨ |
9 And he said to me, Stand, I pray you, over me, and kill me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me.
| فَقَالَ لِي: قِفْ عَلَيَّ وَاقْتُلْنِي لأَنَّنِي أُقَاسِي مِنْ فَرْطِ الأَلَمِ، وَالْحَيَاةُ مَازَالَتْ تَسْرِي فِي جَسَدِي. | ٩ |
10 So I stood over him and killed 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، لأَنَّنِي أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّهُ مَيْتٌ لَا مَحَالَةَ بَعْدَ سُقُوطِهِ، فَأَخَذْتُ الإِكْلِيلَ الَّذِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ وَالسُّوَارَ الَّذِي عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ وَأَتَيْتُ بِهِمَا إِلَى سَيِّدِي». | ١٠ |
11 And David laid hold of his garments, and tore them; and all the men who were with him tore their garments.
| فَمَزَّقَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ ثِيَابَهُمْ. | 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 struck with the sword.
| وَنَدَبُوا وَنَاحُوا وَصَامُوا إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَعَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي الْمَعْرَكَةِ. | ١٢ |
13 And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence are you? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي أَبْلَغَهُ النَّبَأَ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنَا ابْنُ رَجُلٍ غَرِيبٍ، عَمَالِيقِيٌّ» | ١٣ |
14 And David said to him, How was it you were not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «كَيْفَ جَرُؤْتَ أَنْ تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ لِتَقْتُلَ الْمَلِكَ مُخْتَارَ الرَّبِّ؟» | ١٤ |
15 And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he struck him, and he died.
| وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ أَحَدَ رِجَالِهِ قَائِلاً: «تَقَدَّمْ، وَاقْتُلْهُ». فَأَغْمَدَ فِيهِ سَيْفَهُ فَمَاتَ. | ١٥ |
16 And David said to him, Your blood [be] upon your own head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «دَمُكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ، لأَنَّ فَمَكَ شَهِدَ عَلَيْكَ بَعْدَ اعْتِرَافِكَ أَنَّكَ قَتَلْتَ مُخْتَارَ الرَّبِّ». | ١٦ |
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
| وَرَثَا دَاوُدُ شَاوُلَ وَابْنَهُ يُونَاثَانَ بِهَذِهِ الْمَرْثَاةِ، | ١٧ |
18 And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.
| وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَهَا بَنُو يَهُوذَا، وَهِيَ بِعُنْوَانِ: «نَشِيدُ الْقَوْسِ» الْمُدَوَّنَةُ فِي سِفْرِ يَاشَرَ. | ١٨ |
19 Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon your high places: how are the mighty fallen!
| «مَجْدُكَ، مَجْدُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ صَرِيعٌ فَوْقَ رَوَابِيكَ. كَيْفَ تَهَاوَى الأَبْطَالُ؟ | 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، وَلا تُبَشِّرُوا فِي شَوَارِعِ أَشْقَلُونَ، لِئَلّا تَفْرَحَ بَنَاتُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، لِئَلّا تَشْمَتَ بَنَاتُ الْغُلْفِ. | ٢٠ |
21 You 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.
| 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 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 الْقَتْلَى، وَمِنْ لَحْمِ الشُّجْعَانِ لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ قَوْسُ يُونَاثَانَ، وَسَيْفُ شَاوُلَ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ مُخْفِقاً. | 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 الْمَحْبُوبَانِ، وَمَثَارَا الإِعْجَابِ فِي حَيَاتِهِمَا لَمْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى فِي الْمَوْتِ. كَانَا أَخَفَّ مِنَ النُّسُورِ، وَأَقْوَى مِنَ الأُسُودِ. | 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، نُحْنَ عَلَى شَاوُلَ الَّذِي أَلْبَسَكُنَّ ثِيَابَ الْقِرْمِزِ وَرَفَّهَكُنَّ وَزَيَّنَ ثِيَابَكُنَّ بِالْحُلِيِّ الذَّهَبِيَّةِ. | ٢٤ |
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon your high places!
| كَيْفَ تَهَاوَى الأَبْطَالُ فِي خِضَمِّ الْحَرْبِ؟ يُونَاثَانُ عَلَى رَوَابِيكِ مَقْتُولٌ. | ٢٥ |
26 I am grieved for you, my brother Jonathan; you were very lovely to me; your love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.
| لَشَدَّ مَا تَضَايَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ ياأَخِي يُونَاثَانُ. كُنْتَ عَزِيزاً جِدّاً عَلَيَّ، وَمَحَبَّتُكَ لِي كَانَتْ مَحَبَّةً عَجِيبَةً، أَرْوَعَ مِنْ مَحَبَّةِ النِّسَاءِ. | ٢٦ |
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
| كَيْفَ تَهَاوَى الأَبْطَالُ وَفَنِيَتْ عُدَّةُ الْقِتَالِ». | ٢٧ |
