< 2 Samuel 19 >

1 Someone told Joab that the king was crying and mourning because Absalom had died.
و به یوآب خبر دادند که اینک پادشاه گریه می‌کند و برای ابشالوم ماتم گرفته است.۱
2 All of David’s soldiers became sad. Instead of rejoicing about defeating [the soldiers who had fought with Absalom], they were sad because they heard that the king was mourning because Absalom [was dead].
و در آن روز برای تمامی قوم ظفر به ماتم مبدل گشت، زیرا قوم در آن روز شنیدند که پادشاه برای پسرش غمگین است.۲
3 The soldiers returned to the city quietly, like [SIM] soldiers do when they are ashamed because they ran away from battle.
و قوم در آن روز دزدانه به شهر داخل شدند، مثل کسانی که ازجنگ فرار کرده، از روی خجالت دزدانه می‌آیند.۳
4 The king covered his face [with his hands] and kept crying loudly, “O, my son Absalom! O, Absalom, my son! My son!”
و پادشاه روی خود را پوشانید و پادشاه به آوازبلند صدا زد که‌ای پسرم ابشالوم! ای ابشالوم! پسرم! ای پسر من!۴
5 Then Joab entered the room where the king was, and said to the king, “Today you have caused your soldiers to be ashamed! You have humiliated the men who saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and your ordinary wives and your slave wives!
پس یوآب نزد پادشاه به خانه درآمده، گفت: «امروز روی تمامی بندگان خود راشرمنده ساختی که جان تو و جان پسرانت ودخترانت و جان زنانت و جان متعه هایت را امروزنجات دادند.۵
6 [It seems that] you love those who hate you and [that] you hate those who love you. You have caused it to be clear today that your commanders and your officers are not at all important to you. I think that if Absalom were still alive and we were all dead today, you would be happy.
چونکه دشمنان خود را دوست داشتی و محبان خویش را بغض نمودی، زیرا که امروز ظاهر ساختی که سرداران و خادمان نزد توهیچند و امروز فهمیدم که اگر ابشالوم زنده می‌ماند و جمیع ما امروز می‌مردیم آنگاه در نظرتو پسند می‌آمد.۶
7 So, now go and thank your soldiers [for what they did]. Because I solemnly declare that if you do not do that, none of them will still be with you by tomorrow morning and that would be worse [for you] than all the disasters/troubles that you have experienced since you were a boy.”
و الان برخاسته، بیرون بیا و به بندگان خود سخنان دل آویز بگو، زیرا به خداوندقسم می‌خورم که اگر بیرون نیایی، امشب برای توکسی نخواهد ماند، و این بلا برای تو بدتر خواهدبود از همه بلایایی که از طفولیتت تا این وقت به تو رسیده است.»۷
8 So the king got up and went and sat near the city gate. And all the people were told, “Hey, the king is sitting at the gate!” So they all came and gathered around him. Meanwhile, all the Israeli troops [who had been with Absalom] had returned to their homes.
پس پادشاه برخاست و نزددروازه بنشست و تمامی قوم را خبر داده، گفتند که «اینک پادشاه نزد دروازه نشسته است.» وتمامی قوم به حضور پادشاه آمدند.۸
9 Then all the people throughout the tribes of Israel started to quarrel among themselves. They said to each other, “King David rescued us from the people of Philistia and from our other enemies. But now he has fled from Absalom and left Israel!
و جمیع قوم در تمامی اسباط اسرائیل منازعه کرده، می‌گفتند که «پادشاه ما را از دست دشمنان ما رهانیده است، و اوست که ما را ازدست فلسطینیان رهایی داده، و حال به‌سبب ابشالوم از زمین فرار کرده است.۹
10 We appointed [MTY] Absalom to be our king, but he died in the battle [against David’s soldiers]. So (why does someone not try to bring King David back?/surely someone should try to bring King David back.)” [RHQ]
و ابشالوم که او را برای خود مسح نموده بودیم، در جنگ مرده است. پس الان شما چرا در بازآوردن پادشاه تاخیر می‌نمایید؟»۱۰
11 King David [found out what the people were saying. So he] sent the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, to say to the leaders of Judah, “The king says that he has heard that all the Israeli people [want him to be king again]. And he says, ‘(Why should you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace?/It is not right that you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace.) [RHQ]
و داود پادشاه نزد صادوق و ابیاتار کهنه فرستاده، گفت: «به مشایخ یهودا بگویید: شماچرا در بازآوردن پادشاه به خانه‌اش، آخر همه هستید، و حال آنکه سخن جمیع اسرائیل نزدپادشاه به خانه‌اش رسیده است.۱۱
12 You are my relatives; we have the same ancestor [IDM]. So (why should you be the last ones to bring me back?/you should certainly not be the last ones to bring me back.) [RHQ]’”
شما برادران من هستید و شما استخوانها و گوشت منید. پس چرا در بازآوردن پادشاه، آخر همه می‌باشید؟۱۲
13 And say to Amasa, “You are one of my relatives. I hope/desire that God strike me dead [IDM] if I do not appoint you to be, from now on, the commander of my army instead of Joab.”
و به عماسا بگویید: آیا تو استخوان و گوشت من نیستی؟ خدا به من مثل این بلکه زیاده از این به عمل آورد اگر تو در حضور من در همه اوقات به‌جای یوآب، سردار لشکر، نباشی.»۱۳
14 [By sending that message to them, ] David convinced all the people of Judah [IDM] [that they should (be loyal to him/accept him as their king]). So they sent a message to the king, saying “We want you and all your officials to return here.”
پس دل جمیع مردان یهودا را مثل یک شخص مایل گردانید که ایشان نزد پادشاه پیغام فرستادند که توو تمامی بندگانت برگردید.۱۴
15 So the king [and his officials started back toward Jerusalem]. When they reached the Jordan [River], the people of Judah came there to Gilgal to meet the king, and to bring him across the river.
پس پادشاه برگشته، به اردن رسید و یهودا به استقبال پادشاه به جلجال آمدند تا پادشاه را از اردن عبور دهند.۱۵
16 Shimei, the man from the tribe of Benjamin, also came down quickly [to the river] with the people of Judah to meet King David.
و شمعی بن جیرای بنیامینی که از بحوریم بود، تعجیل نموده، همراه مردان یهودا به استقبال داود پادشاه فرودآمد.۱۶
17 There were 1,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who came with him. And Ziba, who had been the servant of Saul, also hurried down to the Jordan [River], bringing 20 of his servants with him. They all came to the king,
و هزار نفر از بنیامینیان وصیبا، خادم خاندان شاول، با پانزده پسرش وبیست خادمش همراهش بودند، و ایشان پیش پادشاه از اردن عبور کردند.۱۷
18 and then they all [prepared to] take the king and all his family across the river, at the place where they could walk across it. They wanted to do whatever the king wanted them to do. As the king was about to cross the river, Shimei came to him and prostrated himself in front of the king.
و معبر را عبوردادند تا خاندان پادشاه عبور کنند، و هر‌چه درنظرش پسند آید بجا آورند.۱۸
19 He said to the king, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please do not keep thinking about the terrible thing that I did on the day that you left Jerusalem. Do not think about it any more.
و به پادشاه گفت: «آقایم گناهی بر من اسناد ندهد و خطایی را که بنده ات در روزی که آقایم پادشاه از اورشلیم بیرون می‌آمد ورزید بیاد نیاورد و پادشاه آن را به دل خود راه ندهد.۱۹
20 Because I know that I have sinned. Look, I have come today, the first one from the northern tribes to come here to greet you today, Your Majesty.”
زیرا که بنده تو می‌داند که گناه کرده‌ام و اینک امروز من از تمامی خاندان یوسف، اول آمده‌ام و به استقبال آقایم، پادشاه، فرود شده‌ام.»۲۰
21 But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, “He cursed the one that Yahweh appointed [MTY] to be the king! So (should he not be executed for doing that?/he certainly should be executed for doing that.)” [RHQ]
و ابیشای ابن صرویه متوجه شده، گفت: «آیا شمعی به‌سبب اینکه مسیح خداوند را دشنام داده است، کشته نشود؟»۲۱
22 But David said, “You sons of Zeruiah, what am I going to do with you? (OR, you are not the ones who should decide [what to do to him]). [It is as though] you have become my enemies today. I know that I am the one who has now become the king of Israel, [so I say that] certainly no one [RHQ] in Israel should be executed today.”
اماداود گفت: «ای پسران صرویه مرا با شما چه‌کاراست که امروز دشمن من باشید و آیا امروز کسی در اسرائیل کشته شود و آیا نمی دانم که من امروزبر اسرائیل پادشاه هستم؟»۲۲
23 Then the king said to Shimei, “I solemnly promise that I will not execute you.”
پس پادشاه به شمعی گفت: «نخواهی مرد.» و پادشاه برای وی قسم خورد.۲۳
24 Then Miphibosheth, Saul’s grandson, came down [to the river] to greet the king. He had not washed his feet or trimmed his beard or washed his clothes, from the time that the king left Jerusalem until the day that he returned.
و مفیبوشت، پسر شاول، به استقبال پادشاه آمد و از روزی که پادشاه رفت تا روزی که به سلامتی برگشت نه پایهای خود را ساز داده، و نه ریش خویش را طراز نموده، و نه جامه خود راشسته بود.۲۴
25 When he arrived from Jerusalem to greet the king, the king said to him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
و چون برای ملاقات پادشاه به اورشلیم رسید، پادشاه وی را گفت: «ای مفیبوشت چرا با من نیامدی؟»۲۵
26 He replied, “Your Majesty, [you know that] I am crippled. [When I heard that you were leaving Jerusalem, ] I said to my servant [Ziba], ‘Put a saddle on my donkey in order that I can ride on it and go with the king.’ But he deceived me [and left without me].
او عرض کرد: «ای آقایم پادشاه، خادم من مرا فریب داد زیرابنده ات گفت که الاغ خود را خواهم آراست تا برآن سوار شده، نزد پادشاه بروم، چونکه بنده تولنگ است.۲۶
27 And he lied to you about me. But, Your Majesty, you are [as wise] as God’s angel. So do whatever seems right to you.
و او بنده تو را نزد آقایم، پادشاه، متهم کرده است، لیکن آقایم، پادشاه، مثل فرشته خداست، پس هر‌چه در نظرت پسند آید، به عمل آور.۲۷
28 All of my grandfather’s family expected/deserved that we would be executed. But [you did not execute me; ] you allowed me to eat food with you at your table! So I certainly do not have [RHQ] the right to request you for anything more.”
زیرا تمامی خاندان پدرم به حضورت آقایم، پادشاه، مثل مردمان مرده بودند، و بنده خود را در میان خورندگان سفره ات ممتازگردانیدی، پس من دیگر‌چه حق دارم که باز نزدپادشاه فریاد نمایم.»۲۸
29 The king replied, “You certainly do not need to say any more. I have decided that you and Ziba will divide [equally] the land [that belonged to your grandfather Saul].”
پادشاه وی را گفت: «چرادیگر از کارهای خود سخن می‌گویی؟ گفتم که توو صیبا، زمین را تقسیم نمایید.»۲۹
30 Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Your Majesty, [I am content that] you have returned safely. So allow him to take all the land.”
مفیبوشت به پادشاه عرض کرد: «نی، بلکه او همه را بگیردچونکه آقایم، پادشاه، به خانه خود به سلامتی برگشته است.»۳۰
31 Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], had come down to the Jordan [River] from [his town of] Rogelim, to escort the king across the river.
و برزلائی جلعادی از روجلیم فرود آمد وبا پادشاه از اردن عبور کرد تا او را به آن طرف اردن مشایعت نماید.۳۱
32 Barzillai was a very old man, 80 years old. He was a very wealthy man, and he had provided food for the king [and his soldiers] while they were at Mahanaim.
و برزلای مرد بسیار پیر هشتادساله بود، و هنگامی که پادشاه در محنایم توقف می‌نمود او را پرورش می‌داد زیرا مردی بسیاربزرگ بود.۳۲
33 The king said to Barzillai, “Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you.”
و پادشاه به برزلای گفت: «تو همراه من بیا و تو را در اورشلیم پرورش خواهم داد.»۳۳
34 But Barzillai replied, “I certainly do not have [RHQ] many more years to live. So (why should I go with you to Jerusalem?/there is certainly no reason for me to go with you to Jerusalem.) [RHQ]
برزلای به پادشاه عرض کرد: «ایام سالهای زندگی من چند است که با پادشاه به اورشلیم بیایم؟۳۴
35 I am now 80 years old. I do not [RHQ] know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. I cannot [RHQ] enjoy what I eat and what I drink. I cannot [RHQ] hear the voices of men and women as they sing. So (why should I be another burden to you?/I do not want to be another burden to you.) [RHQ]
من امروز هشتاد ساله هستم و آیامی توانم در میان نیک و بد تمیز بدهم و آیا بنده توطعم آنچه را که می‌خورم و می‌نوشم، توانم دریافت؟ یا دیگر آواز مغنیان و مغنیات را توانم شنید؟ پس چرا بنده ات دیگر برای آقایم پادشاه بار باشد؟۳۵
36 I will cross the Jordan [River] with you and go a little further, and that will be all the reward that I need [for helping you].
لهذا بنده تو همراه پادشاه اندکی ازاردن عبور خواهد نمود و چرا پادشاه مرا چنین مکافات بدهد.۳۶
37 Then please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is [my son] Chimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you [and serve you], and do for him whatever seems good to you!”
بگذار که بنده ات برگردد تا درشهر خود نزد قبر پدر و مادر خویش بمیرم، واینک بنده تو، کمهام، همراه آقایم پادشاه برود وآنچه در نظرت پسند آید با او به عمل آور.»۳۷
38 The king replied, “Okay, he will cross [the river] with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you. And I will do for you whatever you want me to do.”
پادشاه گفت: «کمهام همراه من خواهد آمدو آنچه در نظر تو پسند آید، با وی به عمل خواهم آورد و هر‌چه از من خواهش کنی برای تو به انجام خواهم رسانید.»۳۸
39 Then King David and all the others crossed the Jordan [River]. He kissed Barzillai and [asked God to] bless him. Then Barzillai returned to his home.
پس تمامی قوم از اردن عبور کردند و چون پادشاه عبور کرد، پادشاه برزلائی را بوسید و وی را برکت داد و او به مکان خود برگشت.۳۹
40 [After they crossed the river, ] Chimham went with the king, and all the army of Judah and half the army of the other Israeli tribes escorted/accompanied the king to Gilgal.
و پادشاه به جلجال رفت وکمهام همراهش آمد و تمامی قوم یهودا و نصف قوم اسرائیل نیز پادشاه را عبور دادند.۴۰
41 Then all the soldiers from the other Israeli tribes came to the king and said, “(Why is it that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men?/It is not right that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men.) [RHQ] [Why did you not request us to do that]?” [RHQ]
و اینک جمیع مردان اسرائیل نزد پادشاه آمدند و به پادشاه گفتند: «چرا برادران ما، یعنی مردان یهودا، تو را دزدیدند و پادشاه و خاندانش را و جمیع کسان داود را همراهش از اردن عبوردادند؟»۴۱
42 The soldiers from Judah replied, “We did it because the king is from Judah. So (why are you angry about that?/you should not be angry about that.) [RHQ] The king has never paid for our food, and he has never given us any gifts.”
و جمیع مردان یهودا به مردان اسرائیل جواب دادند: «از این سبب که پادشاه ازخویشان ماست، پس چرا از این امر حسدمی برید؟ آیا چیزی از پادشاه خورده‌ایم یا انعامی به ما داده است؟»۴۲
43 The men of the other Israeli tribes replied, “[There are ten tribes in Israel, and only one in Judah. So] it is ten times more right for us to say that David [is our king] than it is for you to say that. So why are you despising us [RHQ]? We were certainly [RHQ] the first ones to talk about bringing David back [to Jerusalem to be our king again].” But the men of Judah spoke more harshly than the men from the other tribes of Israel did.
و مردان اسرائیل در جواب مردان یهودا گفتند: «ما را در پادشاه ده حصه است و حق ما در داود از شما بیشتر است. پس چرا ما راحقیر شمردید؟ و آیا ما برای بازآوردن پادشاه خود، اول سخن نگفتیم؟» اما گفتگوی مردان یهودا از گفتگوی مردان اسرائیل سختتر بود.۴۳
