2 Samuel 16
1 And when David was a little past the top [of the ascent], behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
| وَعِنْدَمَا عَبَرَ دَاوُدُ قِمَّةَ الْجَبَلِ لاقَاهُ صِيبَا خَادِمُ مَفِيبُوشَثَ بِحِمَارَيْنِ مُحَمَّلَيْنِ بِمِئَتَيْ رَغِيفِ خُبْزٍ وَمِئَةِ عُنْقُودِ زَبِيبٍ وَمِئَةِ قُرْصِ تِينٍ وَزِقِّ خَمْرٍ. | ١ |
2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِصِيبَا: «لِمَنْ كُلُّ هَذَا؟» فَأَجَابَ صِيبَا: «الْحِمَارَانِ لِرُكُوبِ عَائِلَةِ الْمَلِكِ، وَالْخُبْزُ وَالتِّينُ لِيَأْكُلَهَا الرِّجَالُ، وَالْخَمْرُ لِمَنْ أَعْيَا فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ». | ٢ |
3 And the king said, And where is thy master’s son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, Today shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
| فَسَأَلَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «وَأَيْنَ حَفِيدُ سَيِّدِكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ صِيبَا: «هُوَ مُقِيمٌ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ لأَنَّهُ حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ قَائِلاً: الْيَوْمَ يَرُدُّ لِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَمْلَكَةَ جِدِّي». | ٣ |
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine is all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I do obeisance; let me find favour in thy sight, my lord, O king.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِصِيبَا: «لَقَدْ وَهَبْتُكَ كُلَّ مَا يَمْتَلِكُهُ مَفِيبُوشَثُ». فَقَالَ صِيبَا: «إِنَّنِي أَنْحَنِي أَمَامَكَ بِخُضُوعٍ، لَعَلَّنِي أَحْظَى بِرِضَى سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ». | ٤ |
5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came out, and cursed still as he came.
| وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلَ الْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَحُورِيمَ خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ يَنْتَمِي إِلَى عَشِيرَةِ شَاوُلَ، يُدْعَى شِمْعِي بنَ جِيرَا، وَرَاحَ يَكِيلُ لَهُ الشَّتَائِمَ، | ٥ |
6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
| وَرَشَقَ دَاوُدَ وَرِجَالَهُ وَالشَّعْبَ الَّذِي مَعَهُ وَالأَبْطَالَ الْمُلْتَفِّينَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَيَسَارِهِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ. | ٦ |
7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and man of Belial:
| وَهُوَ يُرَدِّدُ فِي شَتَائِمِهِ: «اخْرُجْ! اخْرُجْ يَا رَجُلَ الدِّمَاءِ وَرَجُلَ بَلِيَّعَالَ! | ٧ |
8 The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art [taken] in thine own mischief, because thou art a man of blood.
| لَقَدْ رَدَّ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْكَ كُلَّ مَا سَفَكْتَهُ مِنْ دِمَاءِ بَيْتِ شَاوُلَ الَّذِي مَلَكْتَ عِوَضاً عَنْهُ، وَقَدْ سَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ الْمَمْلَكَةَ إِلَى أَبْشَالُومَ ابْنِكَ. وَهَا أَنْتَ غَارِقٌ فِي شَرِّ أَعْمَالِكَ لأَنَّكَ رَجُلُ دِمَاءٍ». | ٨ |
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
| فَقَالَ أَبِيشَايُ ابْنُ صُرُوِيَّةَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «لِمَاذَا يَشْتِمُ هَذَا الْكَلْبُ الْمَيْتُ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ؟ دَعْنِي أَهْجُمُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَقْطَعَ رَأْسَهُ». | ٩ |
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? Because he curseth, and because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David; who then shall say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «لَيْسَ هَذَا مِنْ شَأْنِكُمْ يَا بَنِي صُرُوِيَّةَ. دَعُوهُ يَشْتِمُ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَالَ لَهُ اشْتِمْ دَاوُدَ. فَمَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ: لِمَاذَا تَفْعَلُ هَذَا؟» | ١٠ |
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more [may] this Benjamite now [do it]? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
| وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لأَبِيشَايَ وَسَائِرِ رِجَالِهِ: «هُوَذَا ابْنِي الَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْ صُلْبِي يَسْعَى لِقَتْلِي، فَكَمْ بالْحَرِيِّ هَذَا الْبَنْيَامِينِيُّ. دَعُوهُ يَشْتِمُ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَمَرَهُ بِشَتْمِي. | ١١ |
12 It may be that the LORD will look on the wrong done unto me, and that the LORD will requite me good for [his] cursing of me this day.
| لَعَلَّ الرَّبَّ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي، وَيُكَافِئُنِي خَيْراً عِوَضَ شَتَائِمِهِ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ». | ١٢ |
13 So David and his men went by the way: and Shimei went along on the hill side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
| وَتَابَعَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ الْمَسِيرَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَلَكِنَّ شِمْعِي ظَلَّ يَمْشِي بِمُحَاذَاتِهِمْ عَلَى الْجَانِبِ الآخَرِ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ وَهُوَ يَكِيلُ لَهُمُ الشَّتَائِمَ وَيَرْشُقُهُمْ بِالْحِجَارَةِ وَيَذْرِي عَلَيْهِمِ التُّرَابَ. | ١٣ |
14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.
| وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلَ الْمَلِكُ وَالشَّعْبُ الَّذِي مَعَهُ ضِفَافَ الأُرْدُنِّ كَانَ الإِعْيَاءُ قَدْ أَصَابَهُمْ، فَاسْتَرَاحُوا هُنَاكَ. | ١٤ |
15 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
| أَمَّا أَبْشَالُومُ وَأَتْبَاعُهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَخِيتُوفَلُ، فَقَدْ دَخَلُوا أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٥ |
16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
| وَجَاءَ حُوشَايُ الأَرْكِيُّ مُسْتَشَارُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى أَبْشَالُومَ هَاتِفاً: «لِيَحْيَ الْمَلِكُ! لِيَحْيَ الْمَلِكُ!» | ١٦ |
17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
| فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبْشَالُومُ: «أَبِهَذِهِ الطَّرِيقَةِ تُكَافِئُ صَدِيقَكَ؟ لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَذْهَبْ مَعَهُ؟» | ١٧ |
18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
| فَأَجَابَ: «لا، إِنَّنِي أَخْدُمُ وَأُقِيمُ مَعَ مَنِ اخْتَارَهُ الرَّبُّ وَهَذَا الشَّعْبُ وَكُلُّ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٨ |
19 And again, whom should I serve? [should I] not [serve] in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father’s presence, so will I be in thy presence.
| ثُمَّ مَنْ أَخْدُمُ؟ أَلَسْتُ أَخْدُمُ ابْنَهُ؟ فَكَمَا خَدَمْتُ فِي حَضْرَةِ أَبِيكَ كَذَلِكَ أَخْدُمُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ». | ١٩ |
20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give your counsel what we shall do.
| وَسَأَلَ أَبْشَالُومُ أَخِيتُوفَلَ: «أَشِيرُوا مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ؟» | ٢٠ |
21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
| فَأَجَابَ أَخِيتُوفَلُ: «ادْخُلْ وَضَاجِعْ مَحْظِيَّاتِ أَبِيكَ اللَّوَاتِي تَرَكَهُنَّ لِلْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى الْقَصْرِ، فَيَسْمَعَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرائِيلَ أَنَّكَ قَدْ صِرْتَ مَكْرُوهاً لَدَى أَبِيكَ، فَتَتَشَدَّدَ أَيْدِي مُنَاصِرِيكَ». | ٢١ |
22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
| فَنَصَبُوا لأَبْشَالُومَ الْخَيْمَةَ عَلَى السَّطْحِ، وَدَخَلَ لِمُضَاجَعَةِ مَحْظِيَّاتِ أَبِيهِ عَلَى مَرْأَى جَمِيعِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ. | ٢٢ |
23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
| وَكَانَتْ مَشُورَاتُ أَخِيتُوفَلَ الَّتِي يُسْدِيهَا فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ تَحْظَى بِقُبُولِ دَاوُدَ وأَبْشَالُوُمَ لأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ فِي اعْتِبَارِهِمَا كَأَنَّهَا صَادِرَةٌ عَنْ فَمِ اللهِ. | ٢٣ |
