2 Samuel 2
1 It happened after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?" The LORD said to him, "Go up." David said, "Where shall I go up?" He said, "To Hebron."
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ سَأَلَ ٱلرَّبَّ قَائِلًا: «أَأَصْعَدُ إِلَى إِحْدَى مَدَائِنِ يَهُوذَا؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱصْعَدْ». فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ أَصْعَدُ؟» فَقَالَ: «إِلَى حَبْرُونَ». | ١ |
2 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
| فَصَعِدَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ هُوَ وَٱمْرَأَتَاهُ أَخِينُوعَمُ ٱلْيَزْرَعِيلِيَّةُ وَأَبِيجَايِلُ ٱمْرَأَةُ نَابَالَ ٱلْكَرْمَلِيِّ. | ٢ |
3 and the men who were with him, everyone with his household. And they lived in Hebron.
| وَأَصْعَدَ دَاوُدُ رِجَالَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ وَبَيْتَهُ، وَسَكَنُوا فِي مُدُنِ حَبْرُونَ. | ٣ |
4 Then the men of Judah came, and they anointed David king over the house of Judah. When David was told that the men of Jabesh Gilead buried Saul,
| وَأَتَى رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا وَمَسَحُوا هُنَاكَ دَاوُدَ مَلِكًا عَلَى بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا. وَأَخْبَرُوا دَاوُدَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ رِجَالَ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ دَفَنُوا شَاوُلَ». | ٤ |
5 then he sent messengers to the lords of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, "May you be blessed by the LORD, since you showed loyalty towards your lord, Saul, and have buried him.
| فَأَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ رُسُلًا إِلَى أَهْلِ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «مُبَارَكُونَ أَنْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ، إِذْ قَدْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْمَعْرُوفَ بِسَيِّدِكُمْ شَاوُلَ فَدَفَنْتُمُوهُ. | ٥ |
6 Now may the LORD show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
| وَٱلْآنَ لِيَصْنَعِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ إِحْسَانًا وَحَقًّا، وَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَفْعَلُ مَعَكُمْ هَذَا ٱلْخَيْرَ لِأَنَّكُمْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ. | ٦ |
7 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."
| وَٱلْآنَ فَلْتَتَشَدَّدْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَكُونُوا ذَوِي بَأْسٍ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ سَيِّدُكُمْ شَاوُلُ، وَإِيَّايَ مَسَحَ بَيْتُ يَهُوذَا مَلِكًا عَلَيْهِمْ». | ٧ |
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, had taken Ishbaal the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
| وَأَمَّا أَبْنَيْرُ بْنُ نَيْرٍ، رَئِيسُ جَيْشِ شَاوُلَ، فَأَخَذَ إِيشْبُوشَثَ بْنَ شَاوُلَ وَعَبَرَ بِهِ إِلَى مَحَنَايِمَ، | ٨ |
9 and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Geshurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
| وَجَعَلَهُ مَلِكًا عَلَى جِلْعَادَ وَعَلَى ٱلْأَشُّورِيِّينَ وَعَلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ وَعَلَى أَفْرَايِمَ وَعَلَى بَنْيَامِينَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٩ |
10 Ishbaal, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
| وَكَانَ إِيشْبُوشَثُ بْنُ شَاوُلَ ٱبْنَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَلَكَ سَنَتَيْنِ. وَأَمَّا بَيْتُ يَهُوذَا فَإِنَّمَا ٱتَّبَعُوا دَاوُدَ. | ١٠ |
11 And the time that David ruled in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمُدَّةُ ٱلَّتِي مَلَكَ فِيهَا دَاوُدُ فِي حَبْرُونَ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا سَبْعَ سِنِينَ وَسِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ١١ |
12 Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbaal the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
| وَخَرَجَ أَبْنَيْرُ بْنُ نَيْرٍ وَعَبِيدُ إِيشْبُوشَثَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ مِنْ مَحَنَايِمَ إِلَى جِبْعُونَ. | ١٢ |
13 Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
| وَخَرَجَ يُوآبُ ٱبْنُ صَرُويَةَ وَعَبِيدُ دَاوُدَ، فَٱلْتَقَوْا جَمِيعًا عَلَى بِرْكَةِ جِبْعُونَ، وَجَلَسُوا هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى ٱلْبِرْكَةِ مِنْ هُنَا وَهَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى ٱلْبِرْكَةِ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. | ١٣ |
14 Abner said to Joab, "Let the young men now arise and compete before us." Joab said, "Let them arise."
| فَقَالَ أَبْنَيْرُ لِيُوآبَ: «لِيَقُمِ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ وَيَتَكَافَحُوا أَمَامَنَا». فَقَالَ يُوآبُ: «لِيَقُومُوا». | ١٤ |
15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve of the sons of Benjamin of Ishbaal the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
| فَقَامُوا وَعَبَرُوا بِٱلْعَدَدِ، ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ لِأَجْلِ بَنْيَامِينَ وَإِيشْبُوشَثَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ، وَٱثْنَا عَشَرَ مِنْ عَبِيدِ دَاوُدَ. | ١٥ |
16 They each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called Field of Blades, which is in Gibeon.
| وَأَمْسَكَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِرَأْسِ صَاحِبِهِ وَضَرَبَ سَيْفَهُ فِي جَنْبِ صَاحِبِهِ وَسَقَطُوا جَمِيعًا. فَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعُ «حِلْقَثَ هَصُّورِيمَ»، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ فِي جِبْعُونَ. | ١٦ |
17 The battle was very severe that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْقِتَالُ شَدِيدًا جِدًّا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَٱنْكَسَرَ أَبْنَيْرُ وَرِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَمَامَ عَبِيدِ دَاوُدَ. | ١٧ |
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as quick on his feet as a wild gazelle.
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ بَنُو صَرُويَةَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ: يُوآبُ وَأَبِيشَايُ وَعَسَائِيلُ. وَكَانَ عَسَائِيلُ خَفِيفَ ٱلرِّجْلَيْنِ كَظَبْيِ ٱلْبَرِّ. | ١٨ |
19 Asahel pursued after Abner, and as he went he did not turn to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
| فَسَعَى عَسَائِيلُ وَرَاءَ أَبْنَيْرَ، وَلَمْ يَمِلْ فِي ٱلسَّيْرِ يَمْنَةً وَلَا يَسْرَةً مِنْ وَرَاءِ أَبْنَيْرَ. | ١٩ |
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, "Is it you, Asahel?" He answered, "It is I."
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ أَبْنَيْرُ إِلَى وَرَائِهِ وَقَالَ: «أَأَنْتَ عَسَائِيلُ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنَا هُوَ». | ٢٠ |
21 Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor." But Asahel would not stop from pursuing him.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبْنَيْرُ: «مِلْ إِلَى يَمِينِكَ أَوْ إِلَى يَسَارِكَ وَٱقْبِضْ عَلَى أَحَدِ ٱلْغِلْمَانِ وَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ سَلَبَهُ». فَلَمْ يَشَأْ عَسَائِيلُ أَنْ يَمِيلَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 Abner said again to Asahel, "Stop pursuing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?"
| ثُمَّ عَادَ أَبْنَيْرُ وَقَالَ لِعَسَائِيلَ: «مِلْ مِنْ وَرَائِي. لِمَاذَا أَضْرِبُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ فَكَيْفَ أَرْفَعُ وَجْهِي لَدَى يُوآبَ أَخِيكَ؟» | ٢٢ |
23 But he refused to stop. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came about that all who came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died, stopped there.
| فَأَبَى أَنْ يَمِيلَ، فَضَرَبَهُ أَبْنَيْرُ بِزُجِّ ٱلرُّمْحِ فِي بَطْنِهِ، فَخَرَجَ ٱلرُّمْحُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ، فَسَقَطَ هُنَاكَ وَمَاتَ فِي مَكَانِهِ. وَكَانَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي سَقَطَ فِيهِ عَسَائِيلُ وَمَاتَ يَقِفُ. | ٢٣ |
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
| وَسَعَى يُوآبُ وَأَبِيشَايُ وَرَاءَ أَبْنَيْرَ، وَغَابَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ عِنْدَمَا أَتَيَا إِلَى تَلِّ أَمَّةَ ٱلَّذِي تُجَاهَ جِيحَ فِي طَرِيقِ بَرِّيَّةِ جِبْعُونَ. | ٢٤ |
25 The sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and formed a single group, and stood on the top of a hill.
| فَٱجْتَمَعَ بَنُو بَنْيَامِينَ وَرَاءَ أَبْنَيْرَ وَصَارُوا جَمَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَوَقَفُوا عَلَى رَأْسِ تَلٍّ وَاحِدٍ. | ٢٥ |
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before you ask the people to stop pursuing their brothers?"
| فَنَادَى أَبْنَيْرُ يُوآبَ وَقَالَ: «هَلْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَأْكُلُ ٱلسَّيْفُ؟ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّهَا تَكُونُ مَرَارَةً فِي ٱلْأَخِيرِ؟ فَحَتَّى مَتَى لَا تَقُولُ لِلشَّعْبِ أَنْ يَرْجِعُوا مِنْ وَرَاءِ إِخْوَتِهِمْ؟» | ٢٦ |
27 Joab said, "As the LORD lives, if you had not spoken, surely the people would not have given up the pursuit of their brothers until the morning."
| فَقَالَ يُوآبُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱللهُ، إِنَّهُ لَوْ لَمْ تَتَكَلَّمْ لَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ قَدْ صَعِدَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ وَرَاءِ أَخِيهِ». | ٢٧ |
28 So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stopped, and no longer chased after Israel, and they no longer fought.
| وَضَرَبَ يُوآبُ بِٱلْبُوقِ فَوَقَفَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَلَمْ يَسْعَوْا بَعْدُ وَرَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا عَادُوا إِلَى ٱلْمُحَارَبَةِ. | ٢٨ |
29 Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and marched the whole morning, and came to Mahanaim.
| فَسَارَ أَبْنَيْرُ وَرِجَالُهُ فِي ٱلْعَرَبَةِ ذَلِكَ ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ وَعَبَرُوا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ، وَسَارُوا فِي كُلِّ ٱلشُّعَبِ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى مَحَنَايِمَ. | ٢٩ |
30 Joab returned from pursuing Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing from David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
| وَرَجَعَ يُوآبُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ أَبْنَيْرَ وَجَمَعَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ. وَفُقِدَ مِنْ عَبِيدِ دَاوُدَ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا وَعَسَائِيلُ. | ٣٠ |
31 But the servants of David had struck of the people of Benjamin, from the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men who died.
| وَضَرَبَ عَبِيدُ دَاوُدَ مِنْ بَنْيَامِينَ وَمِنْ رِجَالِ أَبْنَيْرَ، فَمَاتَ ثَلَاثُ مِئْةَ وَسِتُّونَ رَجُلًا. | ٣١ |
32 They took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
| وَرَفَعُوا عَسَائِيلَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي قَبْرِ أَبِيهِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ. وَسَارَ يُوآبُ وَرِجَالُهُ ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ وَأَصْبَحُوا فِي حَبْرُونَ. | ٣٢ |
