دوم سموئیل 19
| به یوآب خبر دادند که پادشاه برای ابشالوم عزا گرفته است و گریه می‌کند. | 1 |
Someone told Joab that the king was crying and mourning because Absalom had died.
| وقتی مردم شنیدند که پادشاه برای پسرش غصه‌دار است، شادی پیروزی بزرگ آن روز ایشان، به غم مبدل شد. | 2 |
All of David’s soldiers became sad. Instead of rejoicing about defeating [the soldiers who had fought with Absalom], they were sad because they heard that the king was mourning because Absalom [was dead].
| سربازان مثل نیروی شکست خورده بی‌سر و صدا و با سرهای افکنده وارد شهر شدند. | 3 |
The soldiers returned to the city quietly, like [SIM] soldiers do when they are ashamed because they ran away from battle.
| پادشاه صورت خود را با دستهایش پوشانده بود و به تلخی می‌گریست و می‌گفت: «ای پسرم ابشالوم، ای پسرم ابشالوم، ای پسرم!» | 4 |
The king covered his face [with his hands] and kept crying loudly, “O, my son Absalom! O, Absalom, my son! My son!”
| یوآب به خانهٔ پادشاه رفت و به او گفت: «ما امروز جان تو و زندگی پسران و دختران، زنان و کنیزانت را نجات دادیم؛ ولی تو با این رفتار خود ما را تحقیر کردی. | 5 |
Then Joab entered the room where the king was, and said to the king, “Today you have caused your soldiers to be ashamed! You have humiliated the men who saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and your ordinary wives and your slave wives!
| اینطور که به نظر می‌رسد تو کسانی را دوست داری که از تو متنفرند و از کسانی نفرت داری که دوستت دارند. گویی سرداران و افرادت برای تو هیچ ارزش ندارند. اگر ابشالوم زنده می‌ماند و همهٔ ما می‌مردیم، تو خوشحال می‌شدی. | 6 |
[It seems that] you love those who hate you and [that] you hate those who love you. You have caused it to be clear today that your commanders and your officers are not at all important to you. I think that if Absalom were still alive and we were all dead today, you would be happy.
| حال، بلند شو و بیرون بیا و به سربازانت تبریک بگو. به خداوند زنده قسم اگر چنین نکنی، امشب حتی یکی از آنها در اینجا باقی نخواهد ماند، و این از تمام بلاهایی که تاکنون برایت پیش آمده، بدتر خواهد بود.» | 7 |
So, now go and thank your soldiers [for what they did]. Because I solemnly declare that if you do not do that, none of them will still be with you by tomorrow morning and that would be worse [for you] than all the disasters/troubles that you have experienced since you were a boy.”
| پس پادشاه بیرون رفته، کنار دروازهٔ شهر نشست. وقتی افرادش این را شنیدند، دورش جمع شدند. در ضمن، تمام سربازان اسرائیلی به خانه‌های خود گریخته بودند. | 8 |
So the king got up and went and sat near the city gate. And all the people were told, “Hey, the king is sitting at the gate!” So they all came and gathered around him. Meanwhile, all the Israeli troops [who had been with Absalom] had returned to their homes.
| در سراسر مملکت، این بحث درگرفته بود که چرا نمی‌رویم پادشاه خود را که به سبب ابشالوم از مملکت فرار کرده، باز گردانیم؟ او بود که ما را از شر دشمنان فلسطینی نجات داد. ابشالوم هم که به جای پدرش به پادشاهی انتخاب کردیم، اینک مرده است. پس بیایید داوود را باز گردانیم تا دوباره پادشاه ما شود. | 9 |
Then all the people throughout the tribes of Israel started to quarrel among themselves. They said to each other, “King David rescued us from the people of Philistia and from our other enemies. But now he has fled from Absalom and left Israel!
| 10 |
We appointed [MTY] Absalom to be our king, but he died in the battle [against David’s soldiers]. So (why does someone not try to bring King David back?/surely someone should try to bring King David back.)” [RHQ]
| داوود، صادوق و اَبیّاتار کاهن را فرستاد تا به بزرگان یهودا بگویند: «چرا شما در باز آوردن پادشاه، آخر همه هستید؟ تمام قوم اسرائیل آمادهٔ حرکتند به‌جز شما که برادران و قبیله و گوشت و خون من هستید.» | 11 |
King David [found out what the people were saying. So he] sent the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, to say to the leaders of Judah, “The king says that he has heard that all the Israeli people [want him to be king again]. And he says, ‘(Why should you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace?/It is not right that you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace.) [RHQ]
| 12 |
You are my relatives; we have the same ancestor [IDM]. So (why should you be the last ones to bring me back?/you should certainly not be the last ones to bring me back.) [RHQ]’”
| در ضمن، به صادوق و اَبیّاتار گفت که به عماسا بگویند: «تو خویشاوند من هستی، پس خدا مرا بزند اگر تو را به جای یوآب به فرماندهی سپاه خود نگمارم.» | 13 |
And say to Amasa, “You are one of my relatives. I hope/desire that God strike me dead [IDM] if I do not appoint you to be, from now on, the commander of my army instead of Joab.”
| پیغام داوود تمام قبیله یهودا را خشنود کرد و آنها با دل و جان جواب مثبت داده، برای پادشاه پیغام فرستادند که همراه افرادش پیش آنها بازگردد. | 14 |
[By sending that message to them, ] David convinced all the people of Judah [IDM] [that they should (be loyal to him/accept him as their king]). So they sent a message to the king, saying “We want you and all your officials to return here.”
| پس پادشاه عازم پایتخت شد. وقتی به رود اردن رسید تمام مردم یهودا برای استقبالش به جلجال آمدند تا او را از رود اردن عبور دهند. | 15 |
So the king [and his officials started back toward Jerusalem]. When they reached the Jordan [River], the people of Judah came there to Gilgal to meet the king, and to bring him across the river.
| آنگاه شمعی (پسر جیرای بنیامینی) که از بحوریم بود، با عجله همراه مردان یهودا به استقبال داوود پادشاه رفت. | 16 |
Shimei, the man from the tribe of Benjamin, also came down quickly [to the river] with the people of Judah to meet King David.
| هزار نفر از قبیلهٔ بنیامین و صیبا خدمتگزار خاندان شائول با پانزده پسرش و بیست نوکرش همراه شمعی بودند. آنها قبل از پادشاه به رود اردن رسیدند. | 17 |
There were 1,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who came with him. And Ziba, who had been the servant of Saul, also hurried down to the Jordan [River], bringing 20 of his servants with him. They all came to the king,
| بعد، از رودخانه گذشتند تا خاندان سلطنتی را به آن طرف رودخانه بیاورند و هر چه خواست پادشاه باشد، انجام دهند. پیش از اینکه پادشاه از رودخانه عبور کند، شمعی در برابر او به خاک افتاد | 18 |
and then they all [prepared to] take the king and all his family across the river, at the place where they could walk across it. They wanted to do whatever the king wanted them to do. As the king was about to cross the river, Shimei came to him and prostrated himself in front of the king.
| و گفت: «ای پادشاه، التماس می‌کنم مرا ببخشید و فراموش کنید آن رفتار زشتی را که هنگام بیرون آمدنتان از اورشلیم، مرتکب شدم. | 19 |
He said to the king, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please do not keep thinking about the terrible thing that I did on the day that you left Jerusalem. Do not think about it any more.
| چون خودم خوب می‌دانم که چه اشتباه بزرگی مرتکب شده‌ام! به همین دلیل هم امروز زودتر از تمام افراد قبیلهٔ یوسف آمده‌ام تا به پادشاه خوش آمد بگویم.» | 20 |
Because I know that I have sinned. Look, I have come today, the first one from the northern tribes to come here to greet you today, Your Majesty.”
| ابیشای پسر صرویه گفت: «آیا شمعی به سبب اینکه به پادشاه برگزیدهٔ خداوند ناسزا گفت، نباید کشته شود؟» | 21 |
But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, “He cursed the one that Yahweh appointed [MTY] to be the king! So (should he not be executed for doing that?/he certainly should be executed for doing that.)” [RHQ]
| داوود جواب داد: «ای پسران صرویه، چرا در کار من دخالت می‌کنید؟ چرا می‌خواهید دردسر ایجاد کنید؟ امروز در اسرائیل منم که سلطنت می‌کنم، پس نباید کسی کشته شود!» | 22 |
But David said, “You sons of Zeruiah, what am I going to do with you? (OR, you are not the ones who should decide [what to do to him]). [It is as though] you have become my enemies today. I know that I am the one who has now become the king of Israel, [so I say that] certainly no one [RHQ] in Israel should be executed today.”
| سپس رو به شمعی کرد و قسم خورده، گفت: «تو کشته نخواهی شد.» | 23 |
Then the king said to Shimei, “I solemnly promise that I will not execute you.”
| در این بین، مفیبوشت، نوهٔ شائول از اورشلیم به استقبال پادشاه آمد. از روزی که پادشاه از پایتخت رفته بود، مفیبوشت پاها و لباسهای خود را نشسته بود و سر و صورتش را نیز اصلاح نکرده بود. پادشاه از او پرسید: «ای مفیبوشت، چرا همراه من نیامدی؟» | 24 |
Then Miphibosheth, Saul’s grandson, came down [to the river] to greet the king. He had not washed his feet or trimmed his beard or washed his clothes, from the time that the king left Jerusalem until the day that he returned.
| 25 |
When he arrived from Jerusalem to greet the king, the king said to him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
| عرض کرد: «ای پادشاه، صیبا، خادم من، مرا فریب داد. به او گفتم که الاغم را آماده کند تا بتوانم همراه پادشاه بروم، ولی او این کار را نکرد. چنانکه می‌دانید من لنگ هستم. | 26 |
He replied, “Your Majesty, [you know that] I am crippled. [When I heard that you were leaving Jerusalem, ] I said to my servant [Ziba], ‘Put a saddle on my donkey in order that I can ride on it and go with the king.’ But he deceived me [and left without me].
| در عوض مرا متهم کرده است به اینکه نخواسته‌ام همراه شما بیایم. اما من می‌دانم شما مثل فرشتهٔ خدا هستید. پس هر چه می‌خواهید با من بکنید. | 27 |
And he lied to you about me. But, Your Majesty, you are [as wise] as God’s angel. So do whatever seems right to you.
| «من و همهٔ بستگانم می‌بایست به دست پادشاه کشته می‌شدیم، ولی در عوض به من افتخار دادید بر سر سفره‌تان خوراک بخورم! پس من چه حق دارم از پادشاه توقع بیشتری داشته باشم؟» | 28 |
All of my grandfather’s family expected/deserved that we would be executed. But [you did not execute me; ] you allowed me to eat food with you at your table! So I certainly do not have [RHQ] the right to request you for anything more.”
| پادشاه گفت: «لازم نیست این چیزها را بگویی. دستور داده‌ام تو و صیبا، مِلک شائول را بین خودتان تقسیم کنید.» | 29 |
The king replied, “You certainly do not need to say any more. I have decided that you and Ziba will divide [equally] the land [that belonged to your grandfather Saul].”
| مفیبوشت عرض کرد: «ای آقا، تمام ملک را به او بدهید. همین که می‌بینم پادشاه به سلامت به خانه بازگشته برای من کافی است!» | 30 |
Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Your Majesty, [I am content that] you have returned safely. So allow him to take all the land.”
| برزلائی که از داوود و سربازان او در طی مدتی که در محنایم بودند پذیرایی می‌کرد، از روجلیم آمد تا پادشاه را تا آن طرف رود اردن مشایعت کند. او پیرمردی هشتاد ساله و بسیار ثروتمند بود. | 31 |
Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], had come down to the Jordan [River] from [his town of] Rogelim, to escort the king across the river.
| 32 |
Barzillai was a very old man, 80 years old. He was a very wealthy man, and he had provided food for the king [and his soldiers] while they were at Mahanaim.
| پادشاه به او گفت: «همراه من بیا و در اورشلیم زندگی کن. من در آنجا از تو نگه داری می‌کنم.» | 33 |
The king said to Barzillai, “Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you.”
| برزلائی جواب داد: «مگر از عمرم چقدر باقی است که همراه تو به اورشلیم بیایم؟ | 34 |
But Barzillai replied, “I certainly do not have [RHQ] many more years to live. So (why should I go with you to Jerusalem?/there is certainly no reason for me to go with you to Jerusalem.) [RHQ]
| الان هشتاد ساله هستم و نمی‌توانم از چیزی لذت ببرم. خوراک و شراب دیگر برایم مزه‌ای ندارد. صدای ساز و آواز نیز گوشم را نوازش نمی‌دهد. بنابراین، برای پادشاه باری خواهم بود. | 35 |
I am now 80 years old. I do not [RHQ] know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. I cannot [RHQ] enjoy what I eat and what I drink. I cannot [RHQ] hear the voices of men and women as they sing. So (why should I be another burden to you?/I do not want to be another burden to you.) [RHQ]
| همین قدر که می‌توانم همراه شما به آن طرف رودخانه بیایم، برای من افتخار بزرگی است. | 36 |
I will cross the Jordan [River] with you and go a little further, and that will be all the reward that I need [for helping you].
| اجازه دهید به شهر خود برگردم و در کنار پدر و مادرم دفن بشوم. ولی پسرم کمهام اینجاست؛ اجازه بفرمایید او همراه شما بیاید تا پادشاه هر چه صلاح می‌داند در مورد او انجام دهد.» | 37 |
Then please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is [my son] Chimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you [and serve you], and do for him whatever seems good to you!”
| پادشاه قبول کرد و گفت: «بسیار خوب، او را همراه خود می‌برم و هر چه تو صلاح بدانی برای او می‌کنم. آنچه بخواهی برای تو انجام می‌دهم.» | 38 |
The king replied, “Okay, he will cross [the river] with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you. And I will do for you whatever you want me to do.”
| پس تمام مردم با پادشاه از رود اردن عبور کردند. آنگاه داوود برزلائی را بوسید و برایش دعای برکت کرد و او به خانه‌اش بازگشت. | 39 |
Then King David and all the others crossed the Jordan [River]. He kissed Barzillai and [asked God to] bless him. Then Barzillai returned to his home.
| سپس داوود به جلجال رفت و کمهام را نیز با خود برد. تمام قبیلهٔ یهودا و نصف اسرائیل در عبور دادن پادشاه از رودخانه شرکت داشتند. | 40 |
[After they crossed the river, ] Chimham went with the king, and all the army of Judah and half the army of the other Israeli tribes escorted/accompanied the king to Gilgal.
| ولی مردان اسرائیل به پادشاه شکایت نمودند که چرا مردان یهودا پیش دستی کرده‌اند تا فقط خودشان پادشاه و خاندان و افراد او را از رودخانه عبور دهند؟ | 41 |
Then all the soldiers from the other Israeli tribes came to the king and said, “(Why is it that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men?/It is not right that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men.) [RHQ] [Why did you not request us to do that]?” [RHQ]
| مردان یهودا جواب دادند: «ما حق داشتیم این کار را بکنیم، چون پادشاه از قبیلهٔ ماست. چرا شما از این موضوع ناراحتید؟ پادشاه به ما نه خوراکی داده است و نه انعامی!» | 42 |
The soldiers from Judah replied, “We did it because the king is from Judah. So (why are you angry about that?/you should not be angry about that.) [RHQ] The king has never paid for our food, and he has never given us any gifts.”
| مردان اسرائیل جواب دادند: «ولی اسرائیل ده قبیله است. پس اکثریت با ماست و ما ده برابر بیشتر از شما به گردن پادشاه حق داریم. چرا با نظر حقارت به ما نگاه می‌کنید؟ فراموش نکنید که موضوع بازگرداندن پادشاه را ما پیشنهاد کردیم.» این بحث و گفتگو ادامه یافت، اما سخنان مردان یهودا از سخنان مردان اسرائیل قویتر بود. | 43 |
The men of the other Israeli tribes replied, “[There are ten tribes in Israel, and only one in Judah. So] it is ten times more right for us to say that David [is our king] than it is for you to say that. So why are you despising us [RHQ]? We were certainly [RHQ] the first ones to talk about bringing David back [to Jerusalem to be our king again].” But the men of Judah spoke more harshly than the men from the other tribes of Israel did.
