2 Samuel 1

1 It happened after the death of Saul, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and he stayed two days in Ziklag.

١ وَبَعْدَ مَوْتِ شَاوُلَ وَعَوْدَةِ دَاوُدَ منْ مُحَارَبَةِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ مَكَثَ دَاوُدُ فِي صِقْلَغَ يَوْمَيْنِ.

2 It happened on the third day, that, look, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and dirt on his head. And it came about when he came to David that he fell to the ground and paid homage.

٢ وَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ مِنْ مُعَسْكَرِ شَاوُلَ بِثِيَابٍ مُمَزَّقَةٍ وَرَأْسٍ مُعَفَّرٍ وَخَرَّ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ دَاوُدَ سَاجِداً.

3 David said to him, "Where do you come from?" He said to him, "I have escaped out of the camp of Israel."

٣ فَسَأَلَهُ دَاوُدُ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «مِنْ مُعَسْكَرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَاجِياً بِنَفْسِي».

4 David said to him, "How did it go? Please tell me." He answered, "The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."

٤ فَسَأَلَهُ دَاوُدُ: «مَاذَا جَرَى؟ أَخْبِرْنِي» فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ هَرَبَ الْجَيْشُ مِنْ سَاحَةِ الْقِتَالِ، وَقُتِلَ جَمعٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَمَاتَ شَاوُلُ وَابْنُهُ يُونَاثَانُ أَيْضاً»

5 David said to the young man who had told him this, "How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?"

٥ فَسَأَلَهُ دَاوُدُ: «كَيْفَ عَرَفْتَ بِمَوْتِ شَاوُلَ وَابْنِهِ يُونَاثَانَ؟»

6 Then the young man replied, "I happened to be on Mount Gilboa and saw Saul leaning on his spear. And look, the chariots and the horsemen were closing in on him.

٦ فَأَجَابَ: «صَادَفَ أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ عِنْدَمَا رَأَيْتُ شَاوُلَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى رُمْحِهِ وَعَرَبَاتُ الأَعْدَاءِ وَفُرْسَانُهُمْ يَتَعَقَّبُونَهُ.

7 When he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. I answered, 'Here I am.'

٧ وَمَالَبِثَ أَنِ الْتَفَتَ وَرَاءَهُ. وَحِينَ شَاهَدَنِي استَدْعَانِي إِلَيْهِ.

8 He said to me, 'Who are you?' I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'

٨ وَسَأَلَنِي: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَأَجَبْتُ: عَمَالِيقِيٌّ

9 He said to me, 'Please stand beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, yet there is life in me still.'

٩ فَقَالَ لِي: قِفْ عَلَيَّ وَاقْتُلْنِي لأَنَّنِي أُقَاسِي مِنْ فَرْطِ الأَلَمِ، وَالْحَيَاةُ مَازَالَتْ تَسْرِي فِي جَسَدِي.

10 So I stood beside him, and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. Then I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord."

١٠ فَوَقَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَتَلْتُهُ، لأَنَّنِي أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّهُ مَيْتٌ لَا مَحَالَةَ بَعْدَ سُقُوطِهِ، فَأَخَذْتُ الإِكْلِيلَ الَّذِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ وَالسُّوَارَ الَّذِي عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ وَأَتَيْتُ بِهِمَا إِلَى سَيِّدِي».

11 Then David grabbed his clothes and tore them, and all the men with him did the same.

١١ فَمَزَّقَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ ثِيَابَهُمْ.

12 They mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword.

١٢ وَنَدَبُوا وَنَاحُوا وَصَامُوا إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَعَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي الْمَعْرَكَةِ.

13 David said to the young man who had told him, "Where are you from?" He answered, "I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite."

١٣ ثُمَّ قَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي أَبْلَغَهُ النَّبَأَ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنَا ابْنُ رَجُلٍ غَرِيبٍ، عَمَالِيقِيٌّ»

14 David said to him, "How is it that you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?"

١٤ فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «كَيْفَ جَرُؤْتَ أَنْ تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ لِتَقْتُلَ الْمَلِكَ مُخْتَارَ الرَّبِّ؟»

15 David called one of the young men, and said, "Go near, and fall on him." He struck him, so that he died.

١٥ وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ أَحَدَ رِجَالِهِ قَائِلاً: «تَقَدَّمْ، وَاقْتُلْهُ». فَأَغْمَدَ فِيهِ سَيْفَهُ فَمَاتَ.

16 David said to him, "Your blood is on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, 'I have killed the LORD's anointed.'"

١٦ وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «دَمُكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ، لأَنَّ فَمَكَ شَهِدَ عَلَيْكَ بَعْدَ اعْتِرَافِكَ أَنَّكَ قَتَلْتَ مُخْتَارَ الرَّبِّ».

17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,

١٧ وَرَثَا دَاوُدُ شَاوُلَ وَابْنَهُ يُونَاثَانَ بِهَذِهِ الْمَرْثَاةِ،

18 and said it should be taught to the people of Judah. Look, it is written in the book of Jashar.

١٨ وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَهَا بَنُو يَهُوذَا، وَهِيَ بِعُنْوَانِ: «نَشِيدُ الْقَوْسِ» الْمُدَوَّنَةُ فِي سِفْرِ يَاشَرَ.

19 "Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places. How the mighty have fallen.

١٩ «مَجْدُكَ، مَجْدُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ صَرِيعٌ فَوْقَ رَوَابِيكَ. كَيْفَ تَهَاوَى الأَبْطَالُ؟

20 Do not tell it in Gath. Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised celebrate.

٢٠ لَا تُخْبِرُوا فِي جَتَّ، وَلا تُبَشِّرُوا فِي شَوَارِعِ أَشْقَلُونَ، لِئَلّا تَفْرَحَ بَنَاتُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، لِئَلّا تَشْمَتَ بَنَاتُ الْغُلْفِ.

21 You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain on you, nor fields of offerings. For there the shield of the mighty was dishonored. The shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.

٢١ 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.

22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan's bow did not retreat. Saul's sword did not return empty.

٢٢ مِنْ دَمِ الْقَتْلَى، وَمِنْ لَحْمِ الشُّجْعَانِ لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ قَوْسُ يُونَاثَانَ، وَسَيْفُ شَاوُلَ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ مُخْفِقاً.

23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely, not separated. Lovely in their life, and in their death they were not separated. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.

٢٣ شَاوُلُ وَيُونَاثَانُ الْمَحْبُوبَانِ، وَمَثَارَا الإِعْجَابِ فِي حَيَاتِهِمَا لَمْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى فِي الْمَوْتِ. كَانَا أَخَفَّ مِنَ النُّسُورِ، وَأَقْوَى مِنَ الأُسُودِ.

24 You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you luxuriously in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.

٢٤ يَا بَنَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، نُحْنَ عَلَى شَاوُلَ الَّذِي أَلْبَسَكُنَّ ثِيَابَ الْقِرْمِزِ وَرَفَّهَكُنَّ وَزَيَّنَ ثِيَابَكُنَّ بِالْحُلِيِّ الذَّهَبِيَّةِ.

25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle. Jonathan is slain on your high places.

٢٥ كَيْفَ تَهَاوَى الأَبْطَالُ فِي خِضَمِّ الْحَرْبِ؟ يُونَاثَانُ عَلَى رَوَابِيكِ مَقْتُولٌ.

26 I grieve for you, my brother. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love for me was a wonder, more than the love of women.

٢٦ لَشَدَّ مَا تَضَايَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ ياأَخِي يُونَاثَانُ. كُنْتَ عَزِيزاً جِدّاً عَلَيَّ، وَمَحَبَّتُكَ لِي كَانَتْ مَحَبَّةً عَجِيبَةً، أَرْوَعَ مِنْ مَحَبَّةِ النِّسَاءِ.

27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished."

٢٧ كَيْفَ تَهَاوَى الأَبْطَالُ وَفَنِيَتْ عُدَّةُ الْقِتَالِ».
