1 Chronicles 12

1 And these are those that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, confederates for the war,

١ وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ وَفَدُوا عَلَى دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ مُخْتَبِئٌ مِنْ شَاوُلَ بْنِ قَيْسَ، وَهُمْ أَبْطَالُ حَرْبٍ

2 Who were armed with bows, and could use both the right and the left hand in [hurling] stones and shooting arrows with the bow, even of the brethren of Saul out of Benjamin.

٢ بَارِعُونَ فِي رَمْيِ السِّهَامِ وَالْقِسِيِّ وَالْحِجَارَةِ بِالْمَقَالِيعِ، إِنْ بِالْيَدِ الْيُسْرَى أَوِ الْيَدِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى السَّوَاءِ، وَجَمِيعُهُمْ مِنْ أَقْرِبَاءِ شَاوُلَ مِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ.

3 The chiefs were Achi'ezer, then Joash, the sons of Hashema'ab the Gib'athite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of 'Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the 'Anthothite,

٣ وَكَانَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِمْ أَخِيعَزَرُ ثُمَّ يُوآشُ ابْنَا شَمَاعَةَ الْجِبْعِيِّ، وَيَزُوئِيلُ وَفَالَطُ ابْنَا عَزْمُوتَ، وَبَرَاخَةُ وَيَاهُو الْعَنَاثُوثِيُّ،

4 And Yishma'yah the Gib'onite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jachaziel, and Jochanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite,

٤ وَيَشْمَعْيَا الْجِبْعُونِيُّ أَحَدُ الأَبْطَالِ الثَّلاثِينَ وَقَائِدُهُمْ، وَيَرْمِيَا وَيَحْزِيئِيلُ وَيُوحَانَانُ وَيُوزَابَادُ مِنْ جَدِيرَةَ،

5 El'uzai, and Jerimath, and Be'alyah, and Shemaryahu, and Shephatyahu, the Chariphite,

٥ وَإِلْعُوزَايُ وَيَرِيمُوثُ وَبَعْلِيَا وَشَمَرْيَا وَشَفَطْيَا مِنْ حَرُوفَ،

6 Elkanah, and Yishiyahu, and 'Azarel, and Jo'ezer, and Jashob'am, the Korchites,

٦ وَأَلْقَانَةُ وَيَشِيَّا وَعَزْرِئِيلُ وَيُوعَزَرُ وَيَشُبْعَامُ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ قُورَحَ،

7 And Jo'elah, and Zebadyah, the sons of Jerocham of Gedor.

٧ وَيُوعِيلَةُ وَزَبَدْيَا ابْنَا يَرُوحَامَ مِنْ جَدُورَ.

8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the strong-hold in the wilderness mighty men of valor, and men of the army for the war, that could handle shield and lance, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as the roebucks upon the mountains in swiftness.

٨ وَمِنْ أَبْطَالِ الْحَرْبِ رِجَالِ الْجَيْشِ مِنَ الْجَادِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ انْضَمُّوا إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ فِي الْقَلْعَةِ مِمَّنْ بَرَعُوا فِي اسْتِعْمَالِ التُّرُوسِ وَالرِّمَاحِ وَوُجُوهُهُمْ كَوُجُوهِ الأُسُودِ، وَسُرْعَتُهُمْ كَسُرْعَةِ ظِبَاءِ الْجِبَالِ.

9 'Ezer was the chief, 'Ohadiah the second, Eliab the third,

٩ عَازَرُ وَكَانَ رَئِيساً لَهُمْ، وَعُوبَدْيَا الثَّانِي، وَأَلِيآبُ الثَّالِثُ،

10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth.

١٠ وَمِشْمَنَّةُ الرَّابِعُ، وَيَرْمِيَا الْخَامِسُ،

11 'Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

١١ وَعَتَّايُ السَّادِسُ، وَإِيلِيئِيلُ السَّابِعُ،

12 Jochanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

١٢ وَيُوحَانَانُ الثَّامِنُ، وَأَلْزَابَادُ التَّاسِعُ،

13 Jirmiyahu the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.

١٣ وَيَرْمِيَا الْعَاشِرُ، وَمَخْبَنَّايُ الْحَادِي عَشَرَ.

14 These were of the sons of Gad, the chiefs of the army, one of the least could fight with a hundred, and the greatest with a thousand.

١٤ وَجَمِيعُهُمْ مِنْ سِبْطِ جَادَ، وَقَادَةٌ فِي الْجَيْشِ، فَكَانَ الْكِبَارُ مِنْهُمْ قَادَةَ أُلُوفٍ، والصِّغَارُ قَادَةَ مِئَاتٍ.

15 These are those that passed over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all the men of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.

١٥ وَقَدْ عَبَرُوا نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ فِي أَوَّلِ شَهْرٍ مِنَ السَّنَةِ فِي مَوْسِمِ فَيَضَانِهِ وَهَزَمُوا كُلَّ أَهْلِ الأَوْدِيَةِ شَرْقِيَّ النَّهْرِ وَغَرْبِيَّهُ.

16 And there came some of the children of Benjamin and of Judah as far as the strong-hold unto David.

١٦ وَتَوَافَدَ عَلَى دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ فِي الْحِصْنِ قَوْمٌ مِنْ سِبْطَيْ بِنْيَامِينَ وَيَهُوذَا

17 And David went out to meet them, and commenced and said unto them. If ye be come for peace unto me, to help me, my heart shall be inclined toward you to unite with you; but if it be to betray me to my adversaries while there is no violence in my hands, then may the God of our fathers look on and decide it.

١٧ فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ لاِسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ جِئْتُمْ بِنِيَّةٍ خَالِصَةٍ لِتُسَاعِدُونِي، فَإِنَّ قَلْبِي يَتَّحِدُ مَعَ قُلُوبِكُمْ؛ وَلَكِنْ إنْ كُنْتُمْ مُزْمِعِينَ عَلَى تَسْلِيمِي لِعَدُوِّي مِنْ غَيْرِ ذَنْبٍ جَنَيْتُهُ فَإِنَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِنَا يَرَى وَيُنْصِفُ».

18 Then a spirit invested 'Amassai, the chief of the captains, [who said, ] Thine are we, David, and with thee, O son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to every one that helpeth thee; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and placed them at the head of the troop.

١٨ فَحَلَّ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى عَمَاسَايَ الَّذِي أَصْبَحَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ قَائِدَ الثَّلاثَةِ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّنَا رِجَالُكَ يَا دَاوُدُ، وَنَحْنُ مَعَكَ يَا ابْنَ يَسَّى. سَلامٌ لَكَ، وَسَلامٌ لِنَاصِرِيكَ، لأَنَّ إِلَهَكَ هُوَ مُعِينُكَ». فَرَحَّبَ بِهِمْ دَاوُدُ وَجَعَلَهُمْ رُؤَسَاءَ فِي جَيْشِهِ.

19 And some of Menasseh went over to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but he helped them not; for upon consultation did the lords of the Philistines send him away, saying, With our heads will he go over to his master Saul.

١٩ وَانْضَمَّ إِلَى دَاوُدَ بَعْضُ رِجَالِ مَنَسَّى حِينَ جَاءَ مَعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا لِمُحَارَبَةِ شَاوُلَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَشْتَرِكْ فِي الْمَعْرَكَةِ لأَنَّ أَقْطَابَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ تَدَاوَلُوا فِي أَمْرِهِ وَخَافُوا أَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَحْظَى بِرِضَى شَاوُلَ، فَأَبْعَدُوهُ عَنِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ.

20 As he was going over to Ziklag, there went over to him of Menasseh, 'Adnach, and Jozabad, and Jedi'ael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of the thousands that belonged to Menasseh.

٢٠ وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ عَوْدَتِهِ إِلَى صِقْلَغَ انْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رِجَالِ مَنَسَّى: عَدْنَاحُ وَيُوزَابَادُ وَيَدِيعَئِيلُ وَمِيخَائِيلُ وَيُوزَابَادُ وَأَلِيهُو وَصِلْتَايُ، وَقَدْ كَانُوا قَادَةً عَلَى أُلُوفٍ مِنْ جُنُودِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى.

21 And they were those that helped David against the band [of 'Amelekites]; for they were all mighty men of valor, and they became officers in the army.

٢١ وَقَدْ أَسْعَفُوا دَاوُدَ فِي حَرْبِهِ مَعَ الْغُزَاةِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ لأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعاً رِجَالُ حَرْبٍ أَشِدَّاءُ وَكَانُوا قَادَةً فِي الْجَيْشِ.

22 For all the time, day by day, people used to come to David to help him, until the camp became great, like the camp of God.

٢٢ وَإِذْ تَقَاطَرَ الرِّجَالُ لِلانْضِمَامِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ، يَوْماً بَعْدَ يَوْمٍ، أَصْبَحَ لَدَيْهِ جَيْشٌ عَظِيمٌ قَوِيٌّ.

23 And these are the numbers of the heads of those ready armed for the host that came to David to Hebron, to turn over the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the order of the Lord.

٢٣ وَهَذَا إحْصَاءٌ بِالْجُنُودِ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الَّذِينَ انْضَمُّوا إِلَى دَاوُدَ فِي حَبْرُونَ لِيُحَوِّلُوا مَمْلَكَةَ شَاوُلَ إِلَيْهِ حَسَبَ وَعْدِ الرَّبِّ.

24 The children of Judah that bore shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed for the host.

٢٤ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا: سِتَّةُ آلافٍ وَثَمَانِي مِئَةِ جُنْدِيٍّ مِنْ حَمَلَةِ الأَتْرَاسِ وَالرِّمَاحِ.

25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the host, seven thousand and one hundred.

٢٥ مِنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ: سَبْعَةُ آلافٍ وَمِئَةٌ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ.

26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.

٢٦ مِنْ سِبْطِ لاوِي: أَرْبَعَةُ آلافٍ وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ.

27 And Jehoyada' was the leader of the family of Aaron, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred.

٢٧ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ هرُونَ: الْقَائِدُ يَهُويَادَاعُ عَلَى رَأْسِ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسَبْعِ مِئَةٍ.

28 Also Zadok, a young man, mighty of valor, and his family division twenty and two chiefs.

٢٨ وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضاً صَادُوقُ الْمُقَاتِلُ الْجَبَّارُ مَعَ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ قَائِداً مِنْ أَقْرِبَائِهِ.

29 And of the children of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand; for till that time the greatest part of them had kept the charge of the house of Saul.

٢٩ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ أَقْرِبَاءِ شَاوُلَ: ثَلاثَةُ آلافٍ، أَمَّا أَكْثَرِيَّةُ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ فَظَلُّوا مُوَالِينَ لِشَاوُلَ حَتَّى ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ.

30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valor, men of fame in their family divisions.

٣٠ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ: عِشْرُونَ أَلْفاً وَثَمَانِي مِئَةٍ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ الْمَشْهُورِينَ بَيْنَ عَشَائِرِ قَبِيلَتِهِمْ.

31 And of the half tribe of Menasseh eighteen thousand, who had been expressed by name, to come to make David king.

٣١ وَمِنْ نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى: ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفاً قَدْ اُخْتِيرُوا بِالتَّعْيِينِ لِيَذْهَبُوا وَيُنَصِّبُوا دَاوُدَ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ.

32 And of the children of Issachar, those who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, —their heads were two hundred; and all their brethren were ready at their order.

٣٢ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ يَسَّاكَرَ، مِنْ ذَوِي الْخِبْرَةِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ فِي سِيَاسَةِ شُؤُونِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: مِئَتَانِ مِنَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ مَعَ أَقْرِبَائِهِمِ الَّذِينَ تَحْتَ إِمْرَتِهِمْ.

33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to the host, arrayed for battle, with all manner of weapons of war, fifty thousand; and these were ready to place themselves in battle array with an undivided heart.

٣٣ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ زَبُولُونَ: خَمْسُونَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الْمُخْلِصِينَ الْمُتَمَرِّسِينَ عَلَى الْحَرْبِ بِكُلِّ أَصْنَافِ الأَسْلِحَةِ.

34 And of Naphtali one thousand captains, and with them were with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.

٣٤ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي: أَلْفُ قَائِدٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ سَبْعَةٍ وَثلاثِينَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ بِالأَتْرَاسِ وَالرِّمَاحِ.

35 And of the Danites arrayed for battle twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.

٣٥ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ دَانٍ: ثَمَانِيَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفاً وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ مِنَ الْجُنُودِ الْمُقَاتِلِينَ فِي الْمَعَارِكِ.

36 And of Asher, such as went forth to the host to put themselves in battle array, forty thousand.

٣٦ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ: أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْمُجَنَّدِينَ الْمُقَاتِلِينَ فِي الْمَعَارِكِ.

37 And from the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Menasseh, with all manner of weapons of the host for war, one hundred and twenty thousand.

٣٧ وَمِنْ سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادٍ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى: مِئَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْمُتَمَرِّسِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ بِجَمِيعِ أَصْنَافِ الأَسْلِحَةِ، قَدِمُوا مِنْ شَرْقِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

38 All these men of war, that placed themselves in battle array, came with an entire heart to Hebron, to make David King over all Israel; and also all the rest of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

٣٨ وَقَدِ انْضَمَّ رِجَالُ الْحَرْبِ هَؤُلاءِ بِنِيَّةٍ خَالِصَةٍ إِلَى دَاوُدَ فِي حَبْرُونَ، لِيُنَصِّبُوهُ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، مُتَآزِرِينَ بِذَلِكَ مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ تَوَافَدُوا بِكُلِّ وَلاءٍ لِيُبَايِعُوا دَاوُدَ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ،

39 And they were there with David three days eating and drinking; for their brethren had prepared for them.

٣٩ وَمَكَثُوا مَعَ دَاوُدَ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَحْتَفِلُونَ آكِلِينَ شَارِبِينَ مِمَّا أَعَدَّهُ لَهُمْ أَقْرِبَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

40 And also those that were nigh unto them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought in bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, food made of meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.

٤٠ كَمَا شَارَكَ فِي اسْتِضَافَتِهِمْ عَشَائِرُ الأَسْبَاطِ الْقَرِيبَةِ حَتَّى يَسَّاكَرَ وَزَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِي، الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَأْتُونَ مُحَمِّلِينَ حَمِيرَهُمْ وَجِمَالَهُمْ وَبِغَالَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ بِالْخُبْزِ وَالدَّقِيقِ وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّبِيبِ وَالْخَمْرِ وَالزَّيْتِ. كَمَا جَاءُوا بِأَعْدَادٍ وَفِيرَةٍ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ لِلذَّبْحِ، لأَنَّ الْفَرَحَ عَمَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
