1 Chronicles 12

1 Now these [are] they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they [were] among the mighty men, helpers of the war.

١ وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ وَفَدُوا عَلَى دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ مُخْتَبِئٌ مِنْ شَاوُلَ بْنِ قَيْسَ، وَهُمْ أَبْطَالُ حَرْبٍ

2 [They were] armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in [hurling] stones, and [shooting] arrows from a bow, [even] of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.

٢ بَارِعُونَ فِي رَمْيِ السِّهَامِ وَالْقِسِيِّ وَالْحِجَارَةِ بِالْمَقَالِيعِ، إِنْ بِالْيَدِ الْيُسْرَى أَوِ الْيَدِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى السَّوَاءِ، وَجَمِيعُهُمْ مِنْ أَقْرِبَاءِ شَاوُلَ مِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ.

3 The chief [was] Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,

٣ وَكَانَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِمْ أَخِيعَزَرُ ثُمَّ يُوآشُ ابْنَا شَمَاعَةَ الْجِبْعِيِّ، وَيَزُوئِيلُ وَفَالَطُ ابْنَا عَزْمُوتَ، وَبَرَاخَةُ وَيَاهُو الْعَنَاثُوثِيُّ،

4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,

٤ وَيَشْمَعْيَا الْجِبْعُونِيُّ أَحَدُ الأَبْطَالِ الثَّلاثِينَ وَقَائِدُهُمْ، وَيَرْمِيَا وَيَحْزِيئِيلُ وَيُوحَانَانُ وَيُوزَابَادُ مِنْ جَدِيرَةَ،

5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,

٥ وَإِلْعُوزَايُ وَيَرِيمُوثُ وَبَعْلِيَا وَشَمَرْيَا وَشَفَطْيَا مِنْ حَرُوفَ،

6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites.

٦ وَأَلْقَانَةُ وَيَشِيَّا وَعَزْرِئِيلُ وَيُوعَزَرُ وَيَشُبْعَامُ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ قُورَحَ،

7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

٧ وَيُوعِيلَةُ وَزَبَدْيَا ابْنَا يَرُوحَامَ مِنْ جَدُورَ.

8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves to David in the hold in the wilderness men of might, [and] men of war [fit] for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces [were like] the faces of lions, and [were] as swift as the roes upon the mountains;

٨ وَمِنْ أَبْطَالِ الْحَرْبِ رِجَالِ الْجَيْشِ مِنَ الْجَادِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ انْضَمُّوا إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ فِي الْقَلْعَةِ مِمَّنْ بَرَعُوا فِي اسْتِعْمَالِ التُّرُوسِ وَالرِّمَاحِ وَوُجُوهُهُمْ كَوُجُوهِ الأُسُودِ، وَسُرْعَتُهُمْ كَسُرْعَةِ ظِبَاءِ الْجِبَالِ.

9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

٩ عَازَرُ وَكَانَ رَئِيساً لَهُمْ، وَعُوبَدْيَا الثَّانِي، وَأَلِيآبُ الثَّالِثُ،

10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

١٠ وَمِشْمَنَّةُ الرَّابِعُ، وَيَرْمِيَا الْخَامِسُ،

11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

١١ وَعَتَّايُ السَّادِسُ، وَإِيلِيئِيلُ السَّابِعُ،

12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

١٢ وَيُوحَانَانُ الثَّامِنُ، وَأَلْزَابَادُ التَّاسِعُ،

13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.

١٣ وَيَرْمِيَا الْعَاشِرُ، وَمَخْبَنَّايُ الْحَادِي عَشَرَ.

14 These [were] of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least [was] over a hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.

١٤ وَجَمِيعُهُمْ مِنْ سِبْطِ جَادَ، وَقَادَةٌ فِي الْجَيْشِ، فَكَانَ الْكِبَارُ مِنْهُمْ قَادَةَ أُلُوفٍ، والصِّغَارُ قَادَةَ مِئَاتٍ.

15 These [are] they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all [them] of the valleys, [both] towards the east, and towards the west.

١٥ وَقَدْ عَبَرُوا نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ فِي أَوَّلِ شَهْرٍ مِنَ السَّنَةِ فِي مَوْسِمِ فَيَضَانِهِ وَهَزَمُوا كُلَّ أَهْلِ الأَوْدِيَةِ شَرْقِيَّ النَّهْرِ وَغَرْبِيَّهُ.

16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold to David.

١٦ وَتَوَافَدَ عَلَى دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ فِي الْحِصْنِ قَوْمٌ مِنْ سِبْطَيْ بِنْيَامِينَ وَيَهُوذَا

17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, If ye have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you: but if [ye have come] to betray me to my enemies, seeing [there is] no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look [on it], and rebuke [it].

١٧ فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ لاِسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ جِئْتُمْ بِنِيَّةٍ خَالِصَةٍ لِتُسَاعِدُونِي، فَإِنَّ قَلْبِي يَتَّحِدُ مَعَ قُلُوبِكُمْ؛ وَلَكِنْ إنْ كُنْتُمْ مُزْمِعِينَ عَلَى تَسْلِيمِي لِعَدُوِّي مِنْ غَيْرِ ذَنْبٍ جَنَيْتُهُ فَإِنَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِنَا يَرَى وَيُنْصِفُ».

18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, [who was] chief of the captains, [and he said], Thine [are we], David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace [be] to thee, and peace [be] to thy helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

١٨ فَحَلَّ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى عَمَاسَايَ الَّذِي أَصْبَحَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ قَائِدَ الثَّلاثَةِ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّنَا رِجَالُكَ يَا دَاوُدُ، وَنَحْنُ مَعَكَ يَا ابْنَ يَسَّى. سَلامٌ لَكَ، وَسَلامٌ لِنَاصِرِيكَ، لأَنَّ إِلَهَكَ هُوَ مُعِينُكَ». فَرَحَّبَ بِهِمْ دَاوُدُ وَجَعَلَهُمْ رُؤَسَاءَ فِي جَيْشِهِ.

19 And there fell [some] of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to [the jeopardy of] our heads.

١٩ وَانْضَمَّ إِلَى دَاوُدَ بَعْضُ رِجَالِ مَنَسَّى حِينَ جَاءَ مَعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا لِمُحَارَبَةِ شَاوُلَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَشْتَرِكْ فِي الْمَعْرَكَةِ لأَنَّ أَقْطَابَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ تَدَاوَلُوا فِي أَمْرِهِ وَخَافُوا أَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَحْظَى بِرِضَى شَاوُلَ، فَأَبْعَدُوهُ عَنِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ.

20 And as he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that [were] of Manasseh.

٢٠ وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ عَوْدَتِهِ إِلَى صِقْلَغَ انْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رِجَالِ مَنَسَّى: عَدْنَاحُ وَيُوزَابَادُ وَيَدِيعَئِيلُ وَمِيخَائِيلُ وَيُوزَابَادُ وَأَلِيهُو وَصِلْتَايُ، وَقَدْ كَانُوا قَادَةً عَلَى أُلُوفٍ مِنْ جُنُودِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى.

21 And they helped David against the band [of the rovers]: for they [were] all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the host.

٢١ وَقَدْ أَسْعَفُوا دَاوُدَ فِي حَرْبِهِ مَعَ الْغُزَاةِ الْعَمَالِقَةِ لأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعاً رِجَالُ حَرْبٍ أَشِدَّاءُ وَكَانُوا قَادَةً فِي الْجَيْشِ.

22 For at [that] time day by day there came to David to help him, until [it was] a great host, like the host of God.

٢٢ وَإِذْ تَقَاطَرَ الرِّجَالُ لِلانْضِمَامِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ، يَوْماً بَعْدَ يَوْمٍ، أَصْبَحَ لَدَيْهِ جَيْشٌ عَظِيمٌ قَوِيٌّ.

23 And these [are] the numbers of the bands [that were] ready armed to the war, [and] came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.

٢٣ وَهَذَا إحْصَاءٌ بِالْجُنُودِ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الَّذِينَ انْضَمُّوا إِلَى دَاوُدَ فِي حَبْرُونَ لِيُحَوِّلُوا مَمْلَكَةَ شَاوُلَ إِلَيْهِ حَسَبَ وَعْدِ الرَّبِّ.

24 The children of Judah that bore shield and spear [were] six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed for war.

٢٤ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا: سِتَّةُ آلافٍ وَثَمَانِي مِئَةِ جُنْدِيٍّ مِنْ حَمَلَةِ الأَتْرَاسِ وَالرِّمَاحِ.

25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for war, seven thousand and one hundred.

٢٥ مِنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ: سَبْعَةُ آلافٍ وَمِئَةٌ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ.

26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.

٢٦ مِنْ سِبْطِ لاوِي: أَرْبَعَةُ آلافٍ وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ.

27 And Jehoiada [was] the leader of the Aaronites, and with him [were] three thousand and seven hundred;

٢٧ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ هرُونَ: الْقَائِدُ يَهُويَادَاعُ عَلَى رَأْسِ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسَبْعِ مِئَةٍ.

28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father's house twenty and two captains.

٢٨ وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضاً صَادُوقُ الْمُقَاتِلُ الْجَبَّارُ مَعَ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ قَائِداً مِنْ أَقْرِبَائِهِ.

29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul.

٢٩ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ أَقْرِبَاءِ شَاوُلَ: ثَلاثَةُ آلافٍ، أَمَّا أَكْثَرِيَّةُ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ فَظَلُّوا مُوَالِينَ لِشَاوُلَ حَتَّى ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ.

30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous throughout the house of their fathers.

٣٠ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ: عِشْرُونَ أَلْفاً وَثَمَانِي مِئَةٍ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الأَشِدَّاءِ الْمَشْهُورِينَ بَيْنَ عَشَائِرِ قَبِيلَتِهِمْ.

31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were expressed by name, to come and make David king.

٣١ وَمِنْ نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى: ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفاً قَدْ اُخْتِيرُوا بِالتَّعْيِينِ لِيَذْهَبُوا وَيُنَصِّبُوا دَاوُدَ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ.

32 And of the children of Issachar, [who were men] that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them [were] two hundred; and all their brethren [were] at their command.

٣٢ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ يَسَّاكَرَ، مِنْ ذَوِي الْخِبْرَةِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ فِي سِيَاسَةِ شُؤُونِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: مِئَتَانِ مِنَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ مَعَ أَقْرِبَائِهِمِ الَّذِينَ تَحْتَ إِمْرَتِهِمْ.

33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, who could keep rank: [they were] not of double heart.

٣٣ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ زَبُولُونَ: خَمْسُونَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الْمُخْلِصِينَ الْمُتَمَرِّسِينَ عَلَى الْحَرْبِ بِكُلِّ أَصْنَافِ الأَسْلِحَةِ.

34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.

٣٤ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي: أَلْفُ قَائِدٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ سَبْعَةٍ وَثلاثِينَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ بِالأَتْرَاسِ وَالرِّمَاحِ.

35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.

٣٥ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ دَانٍ: ثَمَانِيَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفاً وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ مِنَ الْجُنُودِ الْمُقَاتِلِينَ فِي الْمَعَارِكِ.

36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.

٣٦ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ: أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْمُجَنَّدِينَ الْمُقَاتِلِينَ فِي الْمَعَارِكِ.

37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, a hundred and twenty thousand.

٣٧ وَمِنْ سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادٍ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى: مِئَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْمُتَمَرِّسِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ بِجَمِيعِ أَصْنَافِ الأَسْلِحَةِ، قَدِمُوا مِنْ شَرْقِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel [were] of one heart to make David king.

٣٨ وَقَدِ انْضَمَّ رِجَالُ الْحَرْبِ هَؤُلاءِ بِنِيَّةٍ خَالِصَةٍ إِلَى دَاوُدَ فِي حَبْرُونَ، لِيُنَصِّبُوهُ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، مُتَآزِرِينَ بِذَلِكَ مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ تَوَافَدُوا بِكُلِّ وَلاءٍ لِيُبَايِعُوا دَاوُدَ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ،

39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.

٣٩ وَمَكَثُوا مَعَ دَاوُدَ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَحْتَفِلُونَ آكِلِينَ شَارِبِينَ مِمَّا أَعَدَّهُ لَهُمْ أَقْرِبَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

40 Moreover, they that were nigh them, [even] to Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, [and] provision, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for [there was] joy in Israel.

٤٠ كَمَا شَارَكَ فِي اسْتِضَافَتِهِمْ عَشَائِرُ الأَسْبَاطِ الْقَرِيبَةِ حَتَّى يَسَّاكَرَ وَزَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِي، الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَأْتُونَ مُحَمِّلِينَ حَمِيرَهُمْ وَجِمَالَهُمْ وَبِغَالَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ بِالْخُبْزِ وَالدَّقِيقِ وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّبِيبِ وَالْخَمْرِ وَالزَّيْتِ. كَمَا جَاءُوا بِأَعْدَادٍ وَفِيرَةٍ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ لِلذَّبْحِ، لأَنَّ الْفَرَحَ عَمَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
