< 2 Samuel 19 >

1 And it was told unto Joab, Behold, the king is weeping and he mourneth for Abshalom.
فَأُخْبِرَ يُوآبُ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْمَلِكُ يَبْكِي وَيَنُوحُ عَلَى أَبْشَالُومَ».١
2 And the victory on that day was turned into mourning unto all the people; for the people heard it said on that day, that the king was grieved for his son.
فَصَارَتِ ٱلْغَلَبَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَنَاحَةً عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ سَمِعُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَنْ يَقُولُ إِنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ قَدْ تَأَسَّفَ عَلَى ٱبْنِهِ.٢
3 And the people repaired by stealth on that day when coming into the city, as usually steal away the people who are ashamed when they flee in battle.
وَتَسَلَّلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لِلدُّخُولِ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا يَتَسَلَّلُ ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْخَجِلُونَ عِنْدَمَا يَهْرُبُونَ فِي ٱلْقِتَالِ.٣
4 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Abshalom, O Abshalom, my son, my son!
وَسَتَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجْهَهُ وَصَرَخَ ٱلْمَلكُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «يَا ٱبْنِي أَبْشَالُومُ، يَا أَبْشَالُومُ ٱبْنِي، يَا ٱبْنِي!».٤
5 And Joab came to the king, into the house, and said, Thou hast covered with shame this day the faces of all thy servants, who have saved thy life this day, and the life of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life of thy concubines;
فَدَخَلَ يُوآبُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ أَخْزَيْتَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وُجُوهَ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِكَ، مُنْقِذِي نَفْسِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَأَنْفُسِ بَنِيكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَأَنْفُسِ نِسَائِكَ وَأَنْفُسِ سَرَارِيِّكَ،٥
6 Since thou lovest thy enemies, and hatest thy friends: for thou hast declared this day, that thou hast neither princes nor servants; for I perceive this day, that if Abshalom were but alive, and we all were dead this day, that then it would have been just right in thy eyes.
بِمَحَبَّتِكَ لِمُبْغِضِيكَ وَبُغْضِكَ لِمُحِبِّيكَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَظْهَرْتَ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَكَ رُؤَسَاءُ وَلَا عَبِيدٌ، لِأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ أَبْشَالُومُ حَيًّا وَكُلُّنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ مَوْتَى، لَحَسُنَ حِينَئِذٍ ٱلْأَمْرُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ.٦
7 And now arise, go forth, and speak to the heart of thy servants; for by the Lord have I sworn, that if thou go not forth, there shall not remain one man with thee this night: and this would be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now.
فَٱلْآنَ قُمْ وَٱخْرُجْ وَطَيِّبْ قُلُوبَ عَبِيدِكَ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِنَّهُ إِنْ لَمْ تَخْرُجْ لَا يَبِيتُ أَحَدٌ مَعَكَ هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ، وَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ أَشَرَّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ أَصَابَكَ مُنْذُ صِبَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ».٧
8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told it unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. And all the people came before the king; but Israel fled, every man to his tents.
فَقَامَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجَلَسَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ. فَأَخْبَرُوا جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْمَلِكُ جَالِسٌ فِي ٱلْبَابِ». فَأَتَى جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَأَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَهَرَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ.٨
9 And all the people were contending throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king hath saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he it was that hath delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land from before Abshalom.
وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي خِصَامٍ فِي جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ قَدْ أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِنَا وَهُوَ نَجَّانَا مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ هَرَبَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِأَجْلِ أَبْشَالُومَ٩
10 And Abshalom, whom we had anointed over us, died in battle: and now why are ye silent about bringing the king back?
وَأَبْشَالُومُ ٱلَّذِي مَسَحْنَاهُ عَلَيْنَا قَدْ مَاتَ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ. فَٱلْآنَ لِمَاذَا أَنْتُمْ سَاكِتُونَ عَنْ إِرْجَاعِ ٱلْمَلِكِ؟»١٠
11 And king David sent to Zadok and to Ebyathar the priests, saying, Speak ye unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why will you be the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is already come to the king, to his house.
وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى صَادُوقَ وَأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَيْنِ قَائِلًا: «كَلِّمَا شُيُوخَ يَهُوذَا قَائِلَيْنِ: لِمَاذَا تَكُونُونَ آخِرِينَ فِي إِرْجَاعِ ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَقَدْ أَتَى كَلَامُ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي بَيْتِهِ؟١١
12 My brothers are ye, my bone and my flesh are ye: wherefore then will you be the last to bring back the king?
أَنْتُمْ إِخْوَتِي. أَنْتُمْ عَظْمِي وَلَحْمِي. فَلِمَاذَا تَكُونُونَ آخِرِينَ فِي إِرْجَاعِ ٱلْمَلِكِ؟١٢
13 And to 'Amassa shall ye say, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? May God do so to me, and may he thus continue to do, if thou shalt not be captain of the army before me continually in the room of Joab.
وَتَقُولَانِ لِعَمَاسَا: أَمَا أَنْتَ عَظْمِي وَلَحْمِي؟ هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ بِيَ ٱللهُ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ، إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَصِيرُ رَئِيسَ جَيْشٍ عِنْدِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ بَدَلَ يُوآبَ».١٣
14 And he turned the heart of all the men of Judah, as of one man: and these sent unto the king, Return thou, with all thy servants.
فَٱسْتَمَالَ بِقُلُوبِ جَمِيعِ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱرْجِعْ أَنْتَ وَجَمِيعُ عَبِيدِكَ».١٤
15 So the king returned, and came as far as the Jordan; and Judah came to Gilgal, to go forth to meet the king, to conduct the king over the Jordan.
فَرَجَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَأَتَى إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَأَتَى يَهُوذَا إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ سَائِرًا لِمُلَاقَاةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِيُعَبِّرَ ٱلْمَلِكَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ.١٥
16 Then hastened Shim'i the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bachurim, and went down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
فَبَادَرَ شِمْعِي بْنُ جِيْرَا ٱلْبَنْيَامِينِيُّ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ بَحُورِيمَ وَنَزَلَ مَعَ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ،١٦
17 And there were with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they set hastily over the Jordan before the king.
وَمَعَهُ أَلْفُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنْيَامِينَ، وَصِيبَا غُلَامُ بَيْتِ شَاوُلَ وَبَنُوهُ ٱلْخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ وَعَبِيدُهُ ٱلْعِشْرُونَ مَعَهُ، فَخَاضُوا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.١٧
18 And there went over the ferry-boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what was good in his eyes. And Shim'i the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was passing over the Jordan;
وَعَبَرَ ٱلْقَارِبُ لِتَعْبِيرِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَلِعَمَلِ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. وَسَقَطَ شِمْعِي بْنُ جِيْرَا أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ عِنْدَمَا عَبَرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ،١٨
19 And he said unto the king, Let not my Lord impute it unto me as iniquity, neither do thou remember that in which thy servant acted perversely on the day that my Lord the king went forth out of Jerusalem, so that the king should lay it to his heart.
وَقَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «لَا يَحْسِبْ لِي سَيِّدِي إِثْمًا، وَلَا تَذْكُرْ مَا ٱفْتَرَى بِهِ عَبْدُكَ يَوْمَ خُرُوجِ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، حَتَّى يَضَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ذَلِكَ فِي قَلْبِهِ،١٩
20 For thy servant doth know that I have indeed sinned; and, behold, I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my Lord the king.
لِأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ، وَهَأَنَذَا قَدْ جِئْتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَوَّلَ كُلِّ بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ، وَنَزَلْتُ لِلِقَاءِ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ».٢٠
21 But Abishai the son of Zeruyah spoke out and said, Shall Shim'i for this not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed?
فَأَجَابَ أَبِيشَايُ ٱبْنُ صَرُويَةَ وَقَالَ: «أَلَا يُقْتَلُ شِمْعِي لِأَجْلِ هَذَا، لِأَنَّهُ سَبَّ مَسِيحَ ٱلرَّبِّ؟»٢١
22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruyah, that ye should become a hindrance this day unto me? shall this day any man be put to death in Israel? for do I not know that this day I am king over Israel?
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «مَا لِي وَلَكُمْ يَا بَنِي صَرُويَةَ حَتَّى تَكُونُوا لِيَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُقَاوِمِينَ؟ آلْيَوْمَ يُقْتَلُ أَحَدٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ أَفَمَا عَلِمْتُ أَنِّي ٱلْيَوْمَ مَلِكٌ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ؟»٢٢
23 And the king said unto Shim'i, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore unto him.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِشِمْعِي: «لَا تَمُوتُ». وَحَلَفَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ.٢٣
24 And Mephibosheth the [grand] son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had not dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day that the king departed until the day that he came home in peace.
وَنَزَلَ مَفِيبُوشَثُ ٱبْنُ شَاوُلَ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَلَمْ يَعْتَنِ بِرِجْلَيْهِ، وَلَا ٱعْتَنَى بِلِحْيَتِهِ، وَلَا غَسَلَ ثِيَابَهُ، مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي ذَهَبَ فِيهِ ٱلْمَلِكُ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي أَتَى فِيهِ بِسَلَامٍ.٢٤
25 And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?
فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، قَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَذْهَبْ مَعِي يَامَفِيبُوشَثُ؟»٢٥
26 And he answered, My Lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle for me the ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king; because thy servant is lame.
فَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ إِنَّ عَبْدِي قَدْ خَدَعَنِي، لِأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَالَ: أَشُدُّ لِنَفْسِيَ ٱلْحِمَارَ فَأَرْكَبُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَذْهَبُ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، لِأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ أَعْرَجُ.٢٦
27 And he slandered thy servant unto my Lord the king; but my Lord the king is like an angel of God: do then what is good in thy eyes.
وَوَشَى بِعَبْدِكَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَسَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ كَمَلَاكِ ٱللهِ. فَٱفْعَلْ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ.٢٧
28 For all of my father's house were nothing but men deserving death with my Lord the king: and yet didst thou set thy servant among those that eat at thy own table. What other merit therefore have I, and what to complain of yet farther unto the king?
لِأَنَّ كُلَّ بَيْتِ أَبِي لَمْ يَكُنْ إِلَا أُنَاسًا مَوْتَى لِسَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَقَدْ جَعَلْتَ عَبْدَكَ بَيْنَ ٱلْآكِلِينَ عَلَى مَائِدَتِكَ. فَأَيُّ حَقٍّ لِي بَعْدُ حَتَّى أَصْرُخَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ؟»٢٨
29 And the king said unto him, For what purpose speakest thou yet thy words? I have said, Thou and Ziba shall divide the field.
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «لِمَاذَا تَتَكَلَّمُ بَعْدُ بِأُمُورِكَ؟ قَدْ قُلْتُ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَصِيبَا تَقْسِمَانِ ٱلْحَقْلَ».٢٩
30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take the whole, since that my Lord the king is come [back] in peace unto his own house.
فَقَالَ مَفِيبُوشَثُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «فَلْيَأْخُذِ ٱلْكُلَّ أَيْضًا بَعْدَ أَنْ جَاءَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ بِسَلَامٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ».٣٠
31 And Barzillai the Gil'adite came down from Rogelim; and he passed over the Jordan with the king, to accompany him over the Jordan.
وَنَزَلَ بَرْزِلَّايُ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيُّ مِنْ رُوجَلِيمَ وَعَبَرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِيُشَيِّعَهُ عِنْدَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ.٣١
32 Now Barzillai was very aged, eighty years old: and he had sustained the king while he lay at Machanayim; for he was a very great man.
وَكَانَ بَرْزِلَّايُ قَدْ شَاخَ جِدًّا. كَانَ ٱبْنَ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً. وَهُوَ عَالَ ٱلْمَلِكَ عِنْدَ إِقَامَتِهِ فِي مَحَنَايِمَ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلًا عَظِيمًا جِدًّا.٣٢
33 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will sustain thee near me in Jerusalem.
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِبَرْزِلَّايَ: «ٱعْبُرْ أَنْتَ مَعِي وَأَنَا أَعُولُكَ مَعِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ».٣٣
34 But Barzillai said unto the king, How many yet are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
فَقَالَ بَرْزِلَّايُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «كَمْ أَيَّامُ سِنِي حَيَاتِي حَتَّى أَصْعَدَ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ؟٣٤
35 I am eighty years old this day: can I discern between good and evil? or can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? or can I listen yet to the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant become yet a burden unto my Lord the king?
أَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱبْنُ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً. هَلْ أُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ ٱلطَّيِّبِ وَٱلرَّدِيءِ؟ وَهَلْ يَسْتَطْعِمُ عَبْدُكَ بِمَا آكُلُ وَمَا أَشْرَبُ؟ وَهَلْ أَسْمَعُ أَيْضًا أَصْوَاتَ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ وَٱلْمُغَنِّيَاتِ؟ فَلِمَاذَا يَكُونُ عَبْدُكَ أَيْضًا ثِقْلًا عَلَى سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ؟٣٥
36 Thy servant will pass a little way over the Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with this reward?
يَعْبُرُ عَبْدُكَ قَلِيلًا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَلِمَاذَا يُكَافِئُنِي ٱلْمَلِكُ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْمُكَافَأَةِ؟٣٦
37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the sepulchre of my father and of my mother. But, behold, thy servant Kimham will pass over with my Lord the king; and do to him what is good in thy eyes.
دَعْ عَبْدَكَ يَرْجِعُ فَأَمُوتَ فِي مَدِينَتِي عِنْدَ قَبْرِ أَبِي وَأُمِّي. وَهُوَذَا عَبْدُكَ كِمْهَامُ يَعْبُرُ مَعَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَٱفْعَلْ لَهُ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ».٣٧
38 And the king said, Kimham shall pass over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good in thy eyes: and whatsoever thou wilt desire of me, will I do for thee.
فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «إِنَّ كِمْهَامَ يَعْبُرُ مَعِي فَأَفْعَلُ لَهُ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ، وَكُلُّ مَا تَتَمَنَّاهُ مِنِّي أَفْعَلُهُ لَكَ».٣٨
39 And all the people passed over the Jordan, after the king had passed over; and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.
فَعَبَرَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ، وَٱلْمَلِكُ عَبَرَ. وَقَبَّلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَرْزِلَّايَ وَبَارَكَهُ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ.٣٩
40 Then did the king pass on to Gilgal, and Kimham passed on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
وَعَبَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، وَعَبَرَ كِمْهَامُ مَعَهُ، وَكُلُّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا عَبَّرُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ، وَكَذَلِكَ نِصْفُ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٤٠
41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have conducted the king and his household over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?
وَإِذَا بِجَمِيعِ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَاءُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَقَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ: «لِمَاذَا سَرِقَكَ إِخْوَتُنَا رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا وَعَبَرُوا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ بِٱلْمَلِكِ وَبَيْتِهِ وَكُلِّ رِجَالِ دَاوُدَ مَعَهُ؟».٤١
42 And all the men of Judah replied to the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then are ye so angry for this matter? have we eaten the least from the king? or hath he given us any gift?
فَأَجَابَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا رِجَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ قَرِيبٌ إِلَيَّ، وَلِمَاذَا تَغْتَاظُ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ؟ هَلْ أَكَلْنَا شَيْئًا مِنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَوْ وَهَبَنَا هِبَةً؟»٤٢
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, Ten parts have we in the king, and also in David have we more right than ye: why then did ye esteem us lightly? and was not our word the very first to bring back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
فَأَجَابَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِجَالَ يَهُوذَا وَقَالُوا: «لِي عَشْرَةُ أَسْهُمٍ فِي ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَنَا أَحَقُّ مِنْكَ بِدَاوُدَ، فَلِمَاذَا ٱسْتَخْفَفْتَ بِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ كَلَامِي أَوَّلًا فِي إِرْجَاعِ مَلِكِي؟» وَكَانَ كَلَامُ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا أَقْسَى مِنْ كَلَامِ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٤٣

< 2 Samuel 19 >
