< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 And these [are] the last words of David: — 'The affirmation of David son of Jesse — And the affirmation of the man raised up — Concerning the Anointed of the God of Jacob, And the Sweetness of the Songs of Israel:

وَهَذِهِ كَلِمَاتُ دَاوُدَ الأَخِيرَةُ: هَذَا مَا أُوْحِيَ بِهِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ بْنِ يَسَّى، وَمَا تَنَبَّأَ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي عَظَّمَهُ الْعَلِيُّ، الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي مَسَحَهُ إِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ. هَذَا هُوَ مُرَتِّلُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمَحْبُوبُ.

2 The Spirit of Jehovah hath spoken by me, And His word [is] on my tongue.

«تَكَلَّمَ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ بِفَمِي، وَكَلِمَتُهُ نَطَقَ بِها لِسَانِي.

3 He said — the God of Israel — to me, He spake — the Rock of Israel: He who is ruling over man [is] righteous, He is ruling in the fear of God.

إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَكَلَّمَ، صَخْرَةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالَ لِي: عِنْدَمَا يَحْكُمُ إِنْسَانٌ بِعَدْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَتَسَلَّطُ بِمَخَافَةِ اللهِ،

4 And as the light of morning he riseth, A morning sun — no clouds! By the shining, by the rain, Tender grass of the earth!

فَإِنَّهُ يُشْرِقُ عَلَيْهِمْ كَنُورِ الْفَجْرِ، وَكَالشَّمْسِ يَشِعُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي صَبَاحٍ صَافٍ، وَكَالْمَطَرِ الَّذِي يَسْتَنْبِتُ عُشْبَ الأَرْضِ.

5 For — not so [is] my house with God; For — a covenant age-during He made with me, Arranged in all things, and kept; For — all my salvation, and all desire, For — He hath not caused [it] to spring up.

أَلَيْسَتْ هَكَذَا عَلاقَةُ بَيْتِي بِاللهِ؟ أَلَمْ يُبْرِمْ مَعِي عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا كَامِلاً وَمُؤَمَّناً؟ أَلا يُكَلِّلُ خَلاصِي بِالْفَلاحِ وَيَضْمَنُ تَحْقِيقَ رَغَائِبِي؟

6 As to the worthless — As a thorn driven away [are] all of them, For — not by hand are they taken;

أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَيُطْرَحُونَ جَمِيعاً كَالشَّوْكِ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَجْرَحُونَ الْيَدَ الَّتِي تَلْمَسُهُمْ.

7 And the man who cometh against them Is filled with iron and the staff of a spear, And with fire they are utterly burnt In the cessation.'

وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَمَسُّهُمْ يَتَسَلَّحُ بِحَدِيدٍ وقَنَاةِ رُمْحٍ، وَتَلْتَهِمُهُمُ النَّارُ جَمِيعاً فِي مَكَانِهِمْ».

8 These [are] the names of the mighty ones whom David hath: sitting in the seat [is] the Tachmonite, head of the captains — he [is] Adino, who hardened himself against eight hundred — wounded at one time.

وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ رِجَالِ دَاوُدَ الأَبْطَالِ: يُوشَيْبُ بَشَّبَثُ التَّحْكَمُونِيُّ، وَكَانَ قَائِدَ الثَّلاثَةِ، هَاجَمَ بِرُمْحِهِ ثَمَانِي مِئَةٍ وَقَتَلَهُمْ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً.

9 And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, of the three mighty men with David; in their exposing themselves among the Philistines — they have been gathered there to battle, and the men of Israel go up —

وَيَلِيهِ أَلِعَازَارُ بْنُ دُودُو بْنِ أَخُوخِي، وَهُوَ أَحَدُ الأَبْطَالِ الثَّلاثَةِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ دَاوُدَ حِينَ عَيَّرُوا الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ (فِي أَفَسِ دَمِّيمَ) الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ هُنَاكَ لِلْحَرْبِ، وَعِنْدَمَا تَقَهْقَرَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

10 he hath arisen, and smiteth among the Philistines till that his hand hath been weary, and his hand cleaveth unto the sword, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation on that day, and the people turn back after him only to strip off.

صَمَدَ هُوَ وَظَلَّ يُهَاجِمُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ حَتَّى كَلَّتْ يَدُهُ وَلَصِقَتْ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَوَهَبَهُ الرَّبُّ نَصْراً مُؤَزَّراً فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ رَجَعَ الشَّعْبُ لِنَهْبِ الْغَنَائِمِ فَقَطْ.

١٠

11 And after him [is] Shammah son of Agee the Hararite, and the Philistines are gathered into a company, and there is there a portion of the field full of lentiles, and the people hath fled from the presence of the Philistines,

وَيَعْقُبُهُ شَمَّةُ بْنُ أَجِي الْهَرَارِيُّ. وَكَانَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ قَدْ حَشَدُوا جَيْشاً فِي قِطْعَةِ حَقْلٍ مَزْرُوعَةٍ بِالْعَدَسِ، فَهَرَبَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ أَمَامَهُمْ.

١١

12 and he stationeth himself in the midst of the portion, and delivereth it, and smiteth the Philistines, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation.

لَكِنَّ شَمَّةَ ثَبَتَ فِي مَكَانِهِ وَسَطَ قِطْعَةِ الْحَقْلِ، وَقَضَى عَلَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَأَنْقَذَ الْحَقْلَ مِنْهُمْ، فَوَهَبَهُ اللهُ النَّصْرَ عَلَيْهِمْ.

١٢

13 And three of the thirty heads go down and come unto the harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the company of the Philistines are encamping in the valley of Rephaim,

وَفِي مَوْسِمِ الْحَصَادِ، أَقْبَلَ هَؤُلاءِ الثَّلاثَةُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الثَّلاثِينَ رَئِيساً إِلَى دَاوُدَ اللّاجِئِ إِلَى مَغَارَةِ عَدُلَّامَ، وَكَانَ جَيْشُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ آنَئِذٍ مُعَسْكِراً فِي وَادِي الرَّفَائِيِّينَ،

١٣

14 and David [is] then in a fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,

بَيْنَمَا دَاوُدُ مُعْتَصِماً فِي الْحِصْنِ، وَحَامِيَةُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ نَازِلةً فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ.

١٤

15 and David longeth and saith, 'Who doth give me a drink of the water of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate?'

فَتَأَوَّهَ دَاوُدُ قَائِلاً: «مَنْ يَسْقِينِي مَاءً مِنْ بِئْرِ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ الْقَائِمَةِ عِنْدَ بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ؟»

١٥

16 And the three mighty ones cleave through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water out of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate, and take [it] up, and bring in unto David; and he was not willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,

فَاقْتَحَمَ الأَبْطَالُ الثَّلاثَةُ مُعَسْكَرَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَجَلَبُوا مَاءً مِنْ بِئْرِ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ الْقَائِمَةِ عِنْدَ الْبَوَّابَةِ، وَحَمَلُوهُ إِلَى دَاوُدَ. فَلَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يَشْرَبَهُ بَلْ سَكَبَهُ لِلرَّبِّ،

١٦

17 and saith, 'Far be it from me, O Jehovah, to do this; is it the blood of the men who are going with their lives?' and he was not willing to drink it; these [things] did the three mighty ones.

قَائِلاً: «مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ هَذَا! إِنَّهُ دَمُ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ جَازَفُوا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ». وَهَكَذَا أَبَى أَنْ يَشْرَبَهُ. هَذَا مَا قَامَ بِهِ هَؤُلاءِ الأَبْطَالُ الثَّلاثَةُ.

١٧

18 And Abishai brother of Joab, son of Zeruiah, he [is] head of three, and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred — wounded, and he hath a name among three.

وَكَانَ أَبِيشَايُ أَخُو يُوآبَ وَابْنُ صُرُويَّةَ رَئِيسَ ثَلاثَةٍ أَيْضاً. هَذَا جَابَهَ بِرُمْحِهِ ثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَقَتَلَهُمْ، فَذَاعَتْ شُهْرَتُهُ بَيْنَ الثَّلاثَةِ،

١٨

19 Of the three is he not the honoured? and he becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come.

وَارْتَفَعَتْ مَكَانَتُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَصَارَ لَهُمْ رَئِيساً، إِلّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَصِلْ إِلَى مَرْتَبَةِ الثَّلاثَةِ الأُوَلِ.

١٩

20 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada (son of a man of valour, great in deeds from Kabzeel), he hath smitten two lion-like men of Moab, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit in a day of snow.

وَكَانَ بَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ مُحَارِباً مُجِيداً مِنْ قَبْصِئِيلَ، هَذَا صَرَعَ بَطَلَيْ مُوآبَ، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى وَسَطِ جُبٍّ فِي يَوْمٍ مُثْلِجٍ وَقَتَلَ أَسَداً،

٢٠

21 And he hath smitten the Egyptian man, a man of appearance, and in the hand of the Egyptian [is] a spear, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.

كَمَا قَضَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِصْرِيٍّ عِمْلاقٍ كَانَ يَحْمِلُ بِيَدِهِ رُمْحاً، فَتَصَدَّى لَهُ بِعَصاً وَخَطَفَ الرُّمْحَ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَقَتَلَهُ بِهِ.

٢١

22 These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among three mighty.

هَذَا مَا صَنَعَهُ بَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ فَذَاعَتْ شُهْرَتُهُ بَيْنَ الأَبْطَالِ الثَّلاثَةِ.

٢٢

23 Of the thirty he is honoured, and unto the three he came not; and David setteth him over his guard.

وَارْتَفَعَتْ مَكَانَتُهُ عَلَى الثَّلاثِينَ قَائِداً، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ مَرْتَبَةَ الثَّلاثَةِ الأُوَلِ فَعَيَّنَهُ دَاوُدُ قَائِداً لِحَرَسِهِ الْخَاصِّ.

٢٣

24 Asahel brother of Joab [is] of the thirty; Elhanan son of Dodo of Beth-Lehem.

وَكَانَ عَسَائِيلُ أَخُو يُوآبَ وَاحِداً مِنَ الثَّلاثِينَ رَئِيساً، وَكَذَلِكَ أَلْحَانَانُ بْنُ دُودُو مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ،

٢٤

25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,

وَشَمَّةُ الْحَرُودِيُّ وَأَلِيقَا الْحَرُودِيُّ

٢٥

26 Helez the Paltite, Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

وَحَالَصُ الْفَلْطِيُّ، وَعِيرَا بْنُ عِقِّيشَ التَّقُوعِيُّ

٢٦

27 Abiezer the Annethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,

وَأَبِيعَزَرُ الْعَنَاثُوثِيُّ، وَمَبُونَايُ الْحُوشَاتِيُّ.
