2 Samuel 21
1 Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, [It is] for Saul, and for [his] bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.
| وَحَدَثَتْ مَجَاعَةٌ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُكْمِ دَاوُدَ اسْتَمَرَّتْ ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ مُتَتَالِيَةً، فَالْتَمَسَ دَاوُدُ وَجْهَ الرَّبِّ. فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «هَذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ شَاوُلُ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ الْمُلَطَّخَةُ أَيْدِيهِمْ بِدِمَاءِ الْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوهُمْ.» | ١ |
2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said to them; (now the Gibeonites [were] not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them: and Saul sought to slay them, in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)
| فَاسْتَدْعَى الْمَلِكُ الْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ، وَهُمْ مِنْ بَقَايَا شَعْبِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ وَقَّعَ مَعَهُمُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مُعَاهَدَةَ صُلْحٍ، وَلَكِنَّ شَاوُلَ سَعَى لِلْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ فَرْطِ غَيْرَتِهِ عَلَى بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢ |
3 Wherefore David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لَهُمْ: «مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ لَكُمْ؟ كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أُعَوِّضَ عَمَّا نَالَكُمْ مِنْ ضَرَرٍ، فَتَدْعُونَ بِالْبَرَكَةِ لِمِيرَاثِ الرَّبِّ؟» | ٣ |
4 And the Gibeonites said to him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, [that] will I do for you.
| فَأَجَابَهُ الْجِبْعُونِيُّونَ: «لا نُرِيدُ مَالاً وَلا فِضَّةً مِنْ شَاوُلَ وَلا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، وَلا نَبْغِي أَنْ نُمِيتَ أَحَداً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَهْمَا طَلَبْتُمْ أَفْعَلُهُ لَكُمْ» | ٤ |
5 And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us [that] we should be destroyed from remaining within the borders of Israel,
| فَقَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ: «أَعْطِنَا سَبْعَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ بَنِي الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي أَفْنَانَا وَتَآمَرَ عَلَيْنَا لِيُبِيدَنَا فَلا نُقِيمَ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٥ |
6 Let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, [whom] the LORD chose. And the king said, I will give [them].
| فَنَصْلِبَهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ فِي جِبْعَةَ شَاوُلَ مُخْتَارِ الرَّبِّ». فَأَجَابَ الْمَلِكُ: «أَنَا أُعْطِيكُمْ». | ٦ |
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the LORD'S oath that [was] between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
| وَأَشْفَقَ الْمَلِكُ عَلَى مَفِيبُوشَثَ بْنِ يُونَاثَانَ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا بَيْنَ دَاوُدَ وَيُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ مِنْ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ، | ٧ |
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
| فَأَخَذَ الْمَلِكُ، أَرْمُونِيَ وَمَفِبيُوشَثَ ابْنَيْ رِصْفَةَ ابْنَةِ أَيَّةَ اللَّذَيْنِ وَلَدَتْهُمَا لِشَاوُلَ، وَأَبْنَاءَ ابْنَةِ شَاوُلَ الْخَمْسَةَ الَّذِينَ أَنْجَبَتْهُمْ لِعَدْرِيئِيلَ ابْنِ بَرْزِلايَ الْمَحُولِيِّ. | ٨ |
9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD: and they fell [all] seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], in the beginning of barley harvest.
| وَسَلَّمَهُمْ إِلَى الْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ، فَصَلَبُوهُمْ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ. فَقُتِلَ السَّبْعَةُ مَعاً فِي بِدَايَةِ مَوْسِمِ حَصَادِ الشَّعِيرِ. | ٩ |
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
| فَأَخَذَتْ رِصْفَةُ ابْنَةُ أَيَّةَ مِسْحاً فَرَشَتْهُ عَلَى الصَّخْرِ مِنْ بِدَايَةِ الْحَصَادِ حَتَّى هُطُولِ الأَمْطَارِ عَلَى الْجُثَثِ، وَمَنَعَتِ الْجَوَارِحَ مِنَ الانْقِضَاضِ عَلَيْهَا نَهَاراً، وَالْوُحُوشَ مِنِ افْتِرَاسِهَا لَيْلاً. | ١٠ |
11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah the concubine of Saul had done.
| وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ دَاوُدَ مَا فَعَلَتْهُ رِصْفَةُ ابْنَةُ أَيَّةَ مَحْظِيَّةُ شَاوُلَ، | ١١ |
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:
| ذَهَبَ وَأَخَذَ عِظَامَ شَاوُلَ وَعِظَامَ يُونَاثَانَ ابْنِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ يَابِيشَ جِلْعَادَ، الَّذِينَ سَرَقُوهَا مِنْ شَارِعِ بَيْتِ شَانَ حَيْثُ عَلَّقَهَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بَعْدَ قَضَائِهِمْ عَلَيْهِمَا فِي جِلْبُوعَ، | ١٢ |
13 And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
| فَأَصْعَدَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عِظَامَ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ ابْنِهِ، كَمَا تَمَّ جَمْعُ عِظَامِ الْمَصْلُوبِينَ. | ١٣ |
14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son they buried in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulcher of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
| وَدَفَنُوهَا فِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ فِي صَيْلَعَ فِي قَبْرِ قَيْسَ أَبِي شَاوُلَ. وَعِنْدَمَا تَمَّ تَنْفِيذُ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ الْمَلِكُ اسْتَجَابَ اللهُ الصَّلاةَ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِخْصَابِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٤ |
15 Moreover, the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David became faint.
| وَدَارَتْ حَرْبٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَيْنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّين وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، فَخَاضَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ الْمَعْرَكَةَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَلَكِنَّ الإِعْيَاءَ أَصَابَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٥ |
16 And Ishbi-benob, who [was] of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred [shekels] of brass in weight, he being girded with a new [sword], thought to have slain David.
| وَهَمَّ يِشْبِي بْنُ بَنُوبَ، أَحَدُ أَبْنَاءِ رَافَا، أَنْ يَقْتُلَ دَاوُدَ، وَكَانَ وَزْنُ رُمْحِهِ النُّحَاسِيِّ ثَلاثُ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامَاتٍ وَنِصْفٍ)، وَقَدْ تَقَلَّدَ سَيْفاً جَدِيداً. | ١٦ |
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go out no more with us to battle, that thou mayest not extinguish the light of Israel.
| فَأَنْجَدَهُ أَبِيشَايُ بْنُ صُرُويَّةَ، وَضَرَبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ وَقَتَلَهُ. حِينَئِذٍ أَقْسَمَ رِجَالُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: «لا تَخْرُجْ مَعَنَا بَعْدَ الآنَ إِلَى الْحَرْبِ، وَلا تُطْفِئْ بِمَوْتِكَ سِرَاجَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١٧ |
18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, who [was] of the sons of the giant.
| وَنَشَبَتْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَعْرَكَةٌ أُخْرَى مَعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فِي جُوبَ، فَقَتَلَ سِبْكَايُ الْحُوشِيُّ سَافَ أَحَدَ أَبْنَاءِ رَافَا. | ١٨ |
19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Beth-lehemite, slew [the brother of] Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear [was] like a weaver's beam.
| وَوَقَعَتْ حَرْبٌ ثَالِثَةٌ فِي جُوبَ مَعَ الفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَتَلَ فِيهَا أَلْحَانَانُ بْنُ يَعْرِي الْبَيْتَلَحْمِيُّ جِلْيَاتَ الْجَتِّيَّ الَّذِي كَانَتْ قَنَاةُ رُمْحِهِ فِي حَجْمِ نَوْلِ النَّسَّاجِينَ. | ١٩ |
20 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
| وَجَرَتْ مَعْرَكَةٌ رَابِعَةٌ فِي جَتَّ، كَانَ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ طَوِيلُ الْقَامَةِ لَهُ سِتُّ أَصَابِعَ فِي كُلِّ يَدٍ وَفِي كُلِّ قَدَمٍ. فَكَانَتْ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ إِصْبَعاً، وَهُوَ أَيْضاً مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ رَافَا. | ٢٠ |
21 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew him.
| وَعِنْدَمَا حَقَّرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَتَلَهُ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شِمْعَى أَخِي دَاوُدَ. | ٢١ |
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
| وَهَكَذَا قَتَلَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ هَؤُلاءِ الأَرْبَعَةَ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لِرَافَا فِي جَتَّ. | ٢٢ |
