< 2 Samuel 12 >

1 And the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ نَاثَانَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ. فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «كَانَ رَجُلَانِ فِي مَدِينَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا غَنِيٌّ وَٱلْآخَرُ فَقِيرٌ.١
2 The rich [man] had very numerous flocks and herds:
وَكَانَ لِلْغَنِيِّ غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدًّا.٢
3 But the poor [man] had nothing save one little ewe-lamb, which he had bought and nourished: and it grew up together with him, and with his children: it fed of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْفَقِيرُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَيْءٌ إِلَا نَعْجَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ قَدِ ٱقْتَنَاهَا وَرَبَّاهَا وَكَبُرَتْ مَعَهُ وَمَعَ بَنِيهِ جَمِيعًا. تَأْكُلُ مِنْ لُقْمَتِهِ وَتَشْرَبُ مِنْ كَأْسِهِ وَتَنَامُ فِي حِضْنِهِ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ كَٱبْنَةٍ.٣
4 And there came a traveler to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the way-faring man that had come to him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that had come to him.
فَجَاءَ ضَيْفٌ إِلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْغَنِيِّ، فَعَفَا أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ غَنَمِهِ وَمِنْ بَقَرِهِ لِيُهَيِّئَ لِلضَّيْفِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَخَذَ نَعْجَةَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْفَقِيرِ وَهَيَّأَ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ».٤
5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, [As] the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this [thing] shall surely die:
فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ دَاوُدَ عَلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ جِدًّا، وَقَالَ لِنَاثَانَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْفَاعِلُ ذَلِكَ،٥
6 And he shall restore the lamb four-fold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
وَيَرُدُّ ٱلنَّعْجَةَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ لِأَنَّهُ فَعَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ وَلِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُشْفِقْ».٦
7 And Nathan said to David, Thou [art] the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul;
فَقَالَ نَاثَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ! هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنَا مَسَحْتُكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَنْقَذْتُكَ مِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ،٧
8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if [that had been] too little, I would moreover have given to thee such and such things.
وَأَعْطَيْتُكَ بَيْتَ سَيِّدِكَ وَنِسَاءَ سَيِّدِكَ فِي حِضْنِكَ، وَأَعْطَيْتُكَ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا. وَإِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ قَلِيلًا، كُنْتُ أَزِيدُ لَكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا.٨
9 Why hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife [to be] thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
لِمَاذَا ٱحْتَقَرْتَ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِتَعْمَلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ؟ قَدْ قَتَلْتَ أُورِيَّا ٱلْحِثِّيَّ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَخَذْتَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ لَكَ ٱمْرَأَةً، وَإِيَّاهُ قَتَلْتَ بِسَيْفِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.٩
10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
وَٱلْآنَ لَا يُفَارِقُ ٱلسَّيْفُ بَيْتَكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِأَنَّكَ ٱحْتَقَرْتَنِي وَأَخَذْتَ ٱمْرَأَةَ أُورِيَّا ٱلْحِثِّيِّ لِتَكُونَ لَكَ ٱمْرَأَةً.١٠
11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes, and give [them] to thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُقِيمُ عَلَيْكَ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ، وَآخُذُ نِسَاءَكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ وَأُعْطِيهِنَّ لِقَرِيبِكَ، فَيَضْطَجِعُ مَعَ نِسَائِكَ فِي عَيْنِ هَذِهِ ٱلشَّمْسِ.١١
12 For thou didst [it] secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ بِٱلسِّرِّ وَأَنَا أَفْعَلُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ قُدَّامَ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُدَّامَ ٱلشَّمْسِ».١٢
13 And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said to David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِنَاثَانَ: «قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ». فَقَالَ نَاثَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «ٱلرَّبُّ أَيْضًا قَدْ نَقَلَ عَنْكَ خَطِيَّتَكَ. لَا تَمُوتُ.١٣
14 But, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also [that is] born to thee shall surely die.
غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ قَدْ جَعَلْتَ بِهَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ أَعْدَاءَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَشْمَتُونَ، فَٱلِٱبْنُ ٱلْمَوْلُودُ لَكَ يَمُوتُ».١٤
15 And Nathan departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
وَذَهَبَ نَاثَانُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ. وَضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْوَلَدَ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أُورِيَّا لِدَاوُدَ فَثَقِلَ.١٥
16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
فَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ ٱللهَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلصَّبِيِّ، وَصَامَ دَاوُدُ صَوْمًا، وَدَخَلَ وَبَاتَ مُضْطَجِعًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٦
17 And the elders of his house arose, [and went] to him, to raise him from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
فَقَامَ شُيُوخُ بَيْتِهِ عَلَيْهِ لِيُقِيمُوهُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَلَمْ يَشَأْ، وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مَعَهُمْ خُبْزًا.١٧
18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how will he then be grieved, if we tell him that the child is dead?
وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ أَنَّ ٱلْوَلَدَ مَاتَ، فَخَافَ عَبِيدُ دَاوُدَ أَنْ يُخْبِرُوهُ بِأَنَّ ٱلْوَلَدَ قَدْ مَاتَ لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «هُوَذَا لَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْوَلَدُ حَيًّا كَلَّمْنَاهُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِنَا. فَكَيْفَ نَقُولُ لَهُ: قَدْ مَاتَ ٱلْوَلَدُ؟ يَعْمَلُ أَشَرَّ!».١٨
19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
وَرَأَى دَاوُدُ عَبِيدَهُ يَتَنَاجَوْنَ، فَفَطِنَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ ٱلْوَلَدَ قَدْ مَاتَ. فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «هَلْ مَاتَ ٱلْوَلَدُ؟» فَقَالُوا: «مَاتَ».١٩
20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed [himself], and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshiped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he ate.
فَقَامَ دَاوُدُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱغْتَسَلَ وَٱدَّهَنَ وَبَدَّلَ ثِيَابَهُ وَدَخَلَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَسَجَدَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَطَلَبَ فَوَضَعُوا لَهُ خُبْزًا فَأَكَلَ.٢٠
21 Then said his servants to him, What thing [is] this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, [while it was] alive; but after the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلْتَ؟ لَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْوَلَدُ حَيًّا صُمْتَ وَبَكَيْتَ، وَلَمَّا مَاتَ ٱلْوَلَدُ قُمْتَ وَأَكَلْتَ خُبْزًا».٢١
22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted, and wept: for I said, Who can tell [whether] God will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
فَقَالَ: «لَمَّا كَانَ ٱلْوَلَدُ حَيًّا صُمْتُ وَبَكَيْتُ لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ: مَنْ يَعْلَمُ؟ رُبَّمَا يَرْحَمُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ وَيَحْيَا ٱلْوَلَدُ.٢٢
23 But now he is dead, Why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.
وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ مَاتَ، فَلِمَاذَا أَصُومُ؟ هَلْ أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَرُدَّهُ بَعْدُ؟ أَنَا ذَاهِبٌ إِلَيْهِ وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَلَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيَّ».٢٣
24 And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.
وَعَزَّى دَاوُدُ بَثْشَبَعَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ، وَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهَا وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا، فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَٱلرَّبُّ أَحَبَّهُ،٢٤
25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
وَأَرْسَلَ بِيَدِ نَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «يَدِيدِيَّا» مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ.٢٥
26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
وَحَارَبَ يُوآبُ رِبَّةَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَأَخَذَ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ.٢٦
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
وَأَرْسَلَ يُوآبُ رُسُلًا إِلَى دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ: «قَدْ حَارَبْتُ رِبَّةَ وَأَخَذْتُ أَيْضًا مَدِينَةَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.٢٧
28 Now therefore collect the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
فَٱلْآنَ ٱجْمَعْ بَقِيَّةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱنْزِلْ عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَخُذْهَا لِئَلَّا آخُذَ أَنَا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ فَيُدْعَى بِٱسْمِي عَلَيْهَا».٢٨
29 And David collected all the people, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
فَجَمَعَ دَاوُدُ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى رِبَّةَ وَحَارَبَهَا وَأَخَذَهَا.٢٩
30 And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight of which [was] a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was [set] on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
وَأَخَذَ تَاجَ مَلِكِهِمْ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ، وَوَزْنُهُ وَزْنَةٌ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ مَعَ حَجَرٍ كَرِيمٍ، وَكَانَ عَلَى رَأْسِ دَاوُدَ. وَأَخْرَجَ غَنِيمَةَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَثِيرَةً جِدًّا.٣٠
31 And he brought forth the people that [were] in it, and put [them] under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
وَأَخْرَجَ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي فِيهَا وَوَضَعَهُمْ تَحْتَ مَنَاشِيرَ وَنَوَارِجِ حَدِيدٍ وَفُؤُوسِ حَدِيدٍ وَأَمَرَّهُمْ فِي أَتُونِ ٱلْآجُرِّ، وَهَكَذَا صَنَعَ بِجَمِيعِ مُدُنِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. ثُمَّ رَجَعَ دَاوُدُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.٣١
