2 Samuel 8

1 And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and humbled them: and David took Metheg-haammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

١ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَارَبَ دَاوُدُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَأَخْضَعَهُمْ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى عَاصِمَتِهِمْ جَتَّ.

2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, laying them down on the ground; and he measured with two lines to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David's servants, bringing presents.

٢ وَقَهَرَ أَيْضاً الْمُوآبِيِّينَ وَجَعَلَهُمْ يَرْقُدُونَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ فِي صُفُوفٍ مُتَرَاصَّةٍ، وَقَاسَهُمْ بِالْحَبْلِ. فَكَانَ يَقْتُلُ صَفَّيْنِ وَيَسْتَبْقِي صَفّاً. فَأَصْبَحَ الْمُوآبِيُّونَ عَبِيداً لِدَاوُدَ يَدْفَعُونَ لَهُ الْجِزْيَةَ.

3 David smote also Hadad'ezer, the son of Rechob, the king of Zobah, as he went to extend his territory at the river Euphrates.

٣ وَحِينَ حَاوَلَ هَدَدْعَزَرُ بْنُ رَحُوبَ، مَلِكُ صُوبَةَ أَنْ يَسْتَرِدَّ سُلْطَتَهُ عَلَى أَعَالِي نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ هَزَمَهُ دَاوُدُ،

4 And David captured from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot: and David hamstringed all the chariot-teams, but reserved of them a hundred chariot-teams.

٤ وَأَسَرَ مِنْ جَيْشِهِ أَلْفاً وَسَبْعَ مِئَةِ فَارِسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَاجِلٍ، وَعَرْقَبَ دَاوُدُ كُلَّ خُيُولِ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ بِاسْتِثْنَاءِ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ.

5 And the Syrians of Damascus then came to aid Hadad'ezer, the king of Zobah, when David slew of the Syrians twenty and two thousand men.

٥ وَعِنْدَمَا خَفَّ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ دِمَشْقَ لِنَجْدَةِ هَدَدْعَزَرَ مَلِكِ صُوبَةَ، قَتَلَ دَاوُدُ مِنْ جَيْشِهِ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ.

6 And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, bearing presents. And the Lord helped David whithersoever he went.

٦ وَأَقَامَ دَاوُدُ حَامِيَاتٍ عَسْكَرِيَّةً فِي أَرَامِ دِمَشْقَ، وَأَصْبَحَ الأَرَامِيُّونَ تَابِعِينَ لِدَاوُدَ يَدْفَعُونَ لَهُ الْجِزْيَةَ، وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ يَنْصُرُ دَاوُدَ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهَ.

7 And David took the shields of gold that belonged to the servants of Hadad'ezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

٧ وَاسْتَوْلَى دَاوُدُ عَلَى أَتْرَاسِ الذَّهَبِ الَّتِي كَانَ يَرْتَدِيهَا قَادَةُ هَدَدْعَزَرَ وَحَمَلَهَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

8 And from Betach, and from Berothai, cities of Hadad'ezer, did king David take exceedingly much copper.

٨ كَمَا نَقَلَ دَاوُدُ الْمَلِكُ مِنْ بَاطِحَ وَمِنْ بِيرُوثَايَ مَدِينَتَيْ هَدَدْعَزَرَ كَمِّيَّةً هَائِلَةً مِنَ النُّحَاسِ.

9 And when To'i the king of Chamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadad'ezer,

٩ وَلَمَّا عَلِمَ تُوعِي مَلِكُ حَمَاةَ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدْ قَضَى عَلَى جَيْشِ هَدَدْعَزَرَ،

10 Then did To'i send Yoram his son unto king David, to ask him after his well-being, and to bless him, because that he had fought against Hadad'ezer, and smitten him; for Hadad'ezer had been engaged in wars with To'i; and he had in his hand vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of copper:

١٠ بَعَثَ ابْنَهُ يُورَامَ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ يَسْتَفْسِرُ عَنْ سَلامَتِهِ، وَيُهَنِّئُهُ عَلَى انْتِصَارِهِ عَلَى هَدَدْعَزَرَ، لأَنَّ هَدَدْعَزَرَ كَانَ يَشُنُّ حُرُوباً عَلَى تُوعِي، وَحَمَّلَهُ هَدَايَا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَنُحَاسٍ.

11 These also did king David sanctify unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the nations which he subdued;

١١ فَتَقَبَّلَهَا دَاوُدُ الْمَلِكُ، وَلَكِنَّهُ خَصَّصَهَا لِلرَّبِّ مَعَ مَا خَصَّصَهُ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ الَّذِي حَصَلَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي أَخْضَعَهَا

12 From Syria, and from Moab, and from the children of 'Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from 'Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadad'ezer, the son of Rechob, the king of Zobah.

١٢ مِنْ أَرَامَ وَمِنْ مُوآبَ، وَمِنْ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَمِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَمِنْ عَمَالِيقَ؛ وَمَا غَنِمَهُ مِنْ أَسْلابِ هَدَدْعَزَرَ مَلِكِ صُوبَةَ.

13 And David acquired a name when he returned from his smiting the Syrians in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand men.

١٣ وَأَصَابَ دَاوُدُ شُهْرَةً وَاسِعَةً بَعْدَ رُجُوعِهِ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ عَلَى ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ أَدُومِيٍّ فِي وَادِي الْمِلْحِ.

14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord helped David whithersoever he went.

١٤ وَأَقَامَ عِدَّةَ حَامِيَاتٍ عَسْكَرِيَّةٍ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ أَدُومَ، فَأَصْبَحَ الأَدُومِيُّونَ تَابِعِينَ لِدَاوُدَ. وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ يَنْصُرُ دَاوُدَ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهَ.

15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David did what is just and right unto all his people.

١٥ وَمَلَكَ دَاوُدُ عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَكَانَ يَحْكُمُ بِالْحَقِّ وَالْعَدْلِ لِكُلِّ شَعْبِهِ.

16 And Joab the son of Zeruyah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Achilud was recorder;

١٦ وَتَوَلَّى يُوآبُ ابْنُ صَرُوِيَّةَ قِيَادَةَ الْجَيْشِ، وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ بْنُ أَخِيلُودَ مَنْصِبَ الْمُسَجِّلِ،

17 And Zadok the son of Achitub, and Achimelech the son of Ebyathar, were priests; and Serayah was scribe;

١٧ وَكَانَ صَادُوقُ بْنُ أَخِيطُوبَ وَأَخِيمَالِكُ بْنُ أَبِيَاثَارَ كَاهِنَيْنِ، وَسَرَايَا كَاتِباً.

18 And Banayahu the son of Yehoyada' was over both the Kerethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were officers of state.

١٨ كَمَا تَرأَّسَ بَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ عَلى الْجَلّادِينَ وَالسُّعَاةِ، وَصَارَ أَبْنَاءُ دَاوُدَ مُسْتَشَارِينَ لِلْمَلِكِ.
