2 Samuel 3
1 There was a long war between those who wanted Saul’s son to be their king and those who wanted David to be their king. But more and more people began to want David to be the king, while the number of people who wanted Saul’s son to be the king continued to become smaller.
| این سرآغاز یک جنگ طولانی بین پیروان شائول و افراد داوود بود. داوود روز‌به‌روز نیرومندتر و خاندان شائول روز‌به‌روز ضعیفتر می‌شد. |
2 David’s wives gave birth to six sons at Hebron. The oldest was Amnon, whose mother was Ahinoam, from Jezreel [city].
| در مدتی که داوود در حبرون زندگی می‌کرد، صاحب پسرانی شد. پسر اول داوود، امنون از زنش اَخینوعَمِ یِزرِعیلی، |
3 The next one was Kileab, whose mother was Abigail, the widow of Nabal, from Carmel [city]. The next one was Absalom, whose mother was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, the king of [the] Geshur [region].
| پسر دوم او کیلاب از زنش اَبیجایِل (بیوهٔ نابال کرملی)، پسر سوم او ابشالوم پسر معکه (دختر تلمای پادشاه جشور)، |
4 The next one was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. The next one was Shephatiah, whose mother was Abital.
| پسر چهارم او ادونیا از حجیت، پسر پنجم او شفطیا از ابیطال |
5 The youngest one was Ithream, whose mother was Eglah, [another one of] David’s wives. Those sons of David were all born in Hebron.
| و پسر ششم او یِتَرعام از زنش عجله بودند. |
6 While those who wanted Saul’s son to rule over them and those who wanted David to rule over them continued to fight against each other, Abner was becoming more influential among those who wanted Saul’s son to be the king.
| در زمانی که جنگ بین خاندان شائول و خاندان داوود ادامه داشت، ابنیر خاندان شائول را تقویت می‌نمود. |
7 When Saul was alive, he had as one of his wives a slave woman named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. [But one day Abner had sexual relations with her]. So Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you had sexual relations with [EUP] my father’s slave wife?”
| یک روز ایشبوشت پسر شائول، ابنیر را متهم کرد که با یکی از کنیزان شائول به نام رصفه، دختر اَیه، همبستر شده است. |
8 Abner became very angry about what Ishbosheth said to him. He said to Ishbosheth, “(Do you think that I am a [worthless] dog [MET] from Judah?/You are treating me as though I am a [worthless] dog [MET] from Judah.) [RHQ] From the beginning, I have been loyal to Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends. And I have prevented you from being defeated by David’s army. So now (why are you criticizing me about [what I have done with] some woman?/you should not be criticizing me about [what I have done with] some woman.) [RHQ]
| ابنیر خشمگین شد و فریاد زد: «آیا فکر می‌کنی من به شائول خیانت می‌کنم و از داوود حمایت می‌نمایم؟ پس از آن همه خوبی‌هایی که در حق تو و پدرت کردم و نگذاشتم به چنگ داوود بیفتی، حالا به خاطر این زن به من تهمت می‌زنی؟ آیا این است پاداش من؟ |
9 Yahweh solemnly promised that he would not allow Saul and his descendants to continue to rule. He promised that he would cause David to rule over all the tribes of Israel and Judah, from Dan [city] far in the north to Beersheba [city] far in the south. So I hope/desire that God will punish me severely [HYP] if I do not enable that to happen!”
| «پس حالا خوب گوش کن. خدا مرا لعنت کند اگر هر چه در قدرت دارم به کار نبرم تا سلطنت را خاندان شائول گرفته به داوود بدهم تا همان‌طور که خداوند وعده داده بود داوود در سراسر اسرائیل و یهودا پادشاه شود.» |
11 Ishbosheth was very afraid of Abner, so he did not say anything in reply to Abner.
| ایشبوشت در جواب ابنیر چیزی نگفت چون از او می‌ترسید. |
12 Then Abner sent messengers to David [when he was at Hebron], to say to him, “[Either you or I] should be [RHQ] the ruler of this entire nation, [but not Isbosheth. However, ] if you make an agreement with me, I will help you by encouraging all the people of Israel to (be want you to be their king/start to support) you.”
| آنگاه ابنیر قاصدانی را با این پیغام نزد داوود فرستاد: «چه کسی باید بر این سرزمین حکومت کند؟ اگر تو با من عهد دوستی ببندی من تمام مردم اسرائیل را به سوی تو برمی‌گردانم.» |
13 David sent back this reply: “Good! I am willing to make an agreement with you. But before that happens, there is one thing that you must do. When you come to see me, you must bring my wife Michal, Saul’s daughter.”
| داوود پاسخ داد: «بسیار خوب، ولی به شرطی با تو عهد می‌بندم که همسرم میکال دختر شائول را با خود نزد من بیاوری.» |
14 Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, to say to him, “I [had to kill] 100 men from Philistia [and cut off] their foreskins to give to Saul to pay for Michal [to be my wife]. So now give her back to me!”
| سپس داوود این پیغام را برای ایشبوشت فرستاد: «همسرم میکال را به من پس بده، زیرا او را به قیمت کشتن صد فلسطینی خریده‌ام.» |
15 So Ishbosheth sent some men to take Michal from her husband Palti. But [when they took her, ] her husband followed them all the way to Bahurim [town], crying as he went.
| پس ایشبوشت، میکال را از شوهرش فلطئیل پس گرفت. |
16 Then Abner [turned and] said to him, “Go back [home]!”, so he did.
| فلطئیل گریه‌کنان تا بحوریم به دنبال زنش رفت. در آنجا ابنیر به او گفت: «حالا دیگر برگرد.» فلطئیل هم برگشت. |
17 Abner went to the Israeli leaders and talked with them. He said, “For a long time you have wanted David to be your king.
| در ضمن، ابنیر با بزرگان اسرائیل مشورت کرده، گفت: «مدتهاست که می‌خواهید داوود را پادشاه خود بسازید. |
18 So now you have an opportunity to do that. Keep in mind that Yahweh promised this: ‘With the help of David, who serves me [well], I will rescue my people from the people of Philistia, and from the power [MTY] of all their other enemies’.”
| حالا وقتش است! زیرا خداوند فرموده است که به‌وسیلۀ داوود قوم خود را از دست فلسطینی‌ها و سایر دشمنانشان نجات خواهد داد.» |
19 Abner also spoke to the people of the tribe of Benjamin. Then he went to Hebron, to tell David what all the people of Israel and the people of the tribe of Benjamin had agreed to do.
| ابنیر با قبیلهٔ بنیامین نیز صحبت کرد. آنگاه به حبرون رفت و توافق‌هایی را که با اسرائیل و قبیلهٔ بنیامین حاصل نموده بود، به داوود گزارش داد. |
20 When Abner came with 20 of his soldiers to see David at Hebron, David made a feast for all of them.
| بیست نفر همراه او بودند و داوود برای ایشان ضیافتی ترتیب داد. |
21 Afterwards, Abner said to David, “Sir/Your majesty, I will now go and encourage all the people of Israel to accept you to be their king, as you have desired.” Then Abner left, peacefully.
| ابنیر به داوود قول داده، گفت: «وقتی برگردم، همهٔ مردم اسرائیل را جمع می‌کنم تا تو را چنانکه خواسته‌ای، به پادشاهی خود انتخاب کنند.» پس داوود او را به سلامت روانه کرد. |
22 Soon after that, Joab and some of David’s other soldiers returned [to Hebron] after raiding [one of their enemies’ villages], bringing with them a lot of things that they had captured. But Abner was not there at Hebron, because David had sent him safely home.
| به محض رفتن ابنیر، یوآب و عده‌ای از سپاهیان داوود از غارت بازگشتند و غنیمت زیادی با خود آوردند. |
23 When Joab and the soldiers who were with him arrived, someone told him that Abner had come there and talked with the king, and that the king allowed to go home safely.
| وقتی یوآب رسید، به او گفتند که ابنیر، پسر نیر، نزد پادشاه آمده و به سلامت بازگشته است. |
24 So Joab went to the king and said, “Why have you done that? Listen to me! Abner [is your enemy, but] when he came to you, you allowed him [RHQ] to leave!
| پس یوآب با عجله به حضور پادشاه رفت و گفت: «چه کرده‌ای؟ چرا گذاشتی ابنیر سالم برگردد؟ |
25 Do you not know that he came to you to deceive you and to find out everything that you are doing, and all the places that you go to?”
| تو خوب می‌دانی که او برای جاسوسی آمده بود تا از هر چه می‌کنی باخبر شود.» |
26 After Joab left David, he sent some messengers to get Abner. They found him at Sirah Well, and brought him back to Hebron, but David did not know that they had done that.
| پس یوآب چند نفر را به دنبال ابنیر فرستاد تا او را برگردانند. آنها در کنار چشمهٔ سیره به ابنیر رسیدند و او با ایشان برگشت. اما داوود از این جریان خبر نداشت. |
27 So when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab met him at the city gate, and took him aside as though he wanted to speak with him privately. Then he stabbed Abner in the stomach [with his knife/sword]. In that way he murdered Abner because Abner had killed [MTY] Joab’s brother Asahel.
| وقتی ابنیر به دروازهٔ شهر حبرون رسید، یوآب به بهانهٔ اینکه می‌خواهد با او محرمانه صحبت کند، وی را به کناری برد و خنجر خود را کشیده، به انتقام خون برادرش عسائیل، او را کشت. |
28 Later, after David heard what had happened, he said, “Yahweh knows that I and the people of my kingdom are not at all (responsible for/guilty of) murdering [MTY] Abner.
| داوود چون این را شنید، گفت: «من و قوم من در پیشگاه خداوند از خون ابنیر تا به ابد مبرا هستیم. |
29 I hope/desire that Joab and all his family will be punished [MTY] for doing that! I hope/desire that there will always be someone in his family who has sores, or someone who is a leper, or some man who is forced to do women’s work, or someone who is killed in a battle, or someone who does not have enough food to eat!”
| خون او به گردن یوآب و خانواده‌اش باشد. عفونت و جذام همیشه دامنگیر نسل او باشد. فرزندانش عقیم شوند و از گرسنگی بمیرند یا با شمشیر کشته شوند.» |
30 That is how Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.
| پس بدین ترتیب یوآب و برادرش ابیشای، ابنیر را کشتند چون او برادرشان عسائیل را در جنگ جبعون کشته بود. |
31 Then David said to Joab and to all Joab’s soldiers, “Tear your clothes and put on coarse cloth [to show that you are sad], and mourn for Abner!” And [at the funeral], King David walked behind [the men who were carrying] the coffin.
| داوود به یوآب و همهٔ کسانی که با او بودند دستور داد که لباس خود را پاره کنند و پلاس بپوشند و برای ابنیر عزا بگیرند، و خودش همراه تشییع‌کنندگان جنازه به سر قبر رفت. |
32 They buried Abner’s body at Hebron. And at the grave, the king cried loudly, and all the other people also cried.
| ابنیر را در حبرون دفن کردند و پادشاه و همراهانش بر سر قبر او با صدای بلند گریستند. |
33 David sang this sad song to lament for Abner: “It is not right that [RHQ] Abner died like outlaws die!
| پادشاه این مرثیه را برای ابنیر خواند: «چرا ابنیر باید با خفت و خواری بمیرد؟ ای ابنیر، دستهای تو بسته نشد، پاهایت را در بند نگذاشتند؛ تو را ناجوانمردانه کشتند.» و همهٔ حضار بار دیگر با صدای بلند برای ابنیر گریه کردند. |
34 No one tied his hands or put chains on his feet, [like they do to criminals]. No, he was murdered by wicked men!”
35 Then many [HYP] people came to David to tell him to eat some food before sunset, but David refused. He said, “I hope/desire that God will punish me severely [HYP] if I eat any food before the sun goes down!”
| داوود در روز تشییع‌جنازه چیزی نخورده بود و همه از او خواهش می‌کردند که چیزی بخورد. اما داوود قسم خورده، گفت: «خدا مرا بکشد اگر تا غروب آفتاب لب به غذا بزنم.» این عمل داوود بر دل مردم نشست، در واقع تمام کارهای او را مردم می‌پسندیدند. |
36 All the people saw what David did, and they were pleased. Truly, everything that the king did pleased the people.
37 So all the people realized that the king had not wanted Abner to be killed.
| تمام قوم، یعنی هم اسرائیل و هم یهودا، دانستند که پادشاه در کشتن ابنیر دخالت نداشته است. |
38 The king said to his officials, “(Do you not realize that a leader and a great man has died today in Israel?/You should realize that a leader and a great man has died today in Israel.) [RHQ]
| داوود به افرادش گفت: «آیا نمی‌دانید که امروز در اسرائیل یک مرد، یک سردار بزرگ، کشته شده است. |
39 Even though Yahweh appointed me to be the king, today I feel weak. These two sons of Zeruiah, [Joab and Abishai], are very violent; I cannot control them. So I hope/desire that Yahweh will punish them severely in return for this wicked thing that they have done!”
| هر چند من به پادشاهی برگزیده شده‌ام، ولی نمی‌توانم از عهدهٔ این دو پسر صرویه برآیم. خداوند، عاملان این شرارت را به سزای اعمالشان برساند.» |
