SVD Arabic Bible: Smith–Van Dyck (1865)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 وَكَانَ جُوعٌ فِي أَيَّامِ دَاوُدَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ، سَنَةً بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ، فَطَلَبَ دَاوُدُ وَجْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ. فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هُوَ لِأَجْلِ شَاوُلَ وَلِأَجْلِ بَيْتِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَتَلَ ٱلْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ».
1 There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Yahweh. Yahweh said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
2 فَدَعَا ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ. وَٱلْجِبْعُونِيُّونَ لَيْسُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بَلْ مِنْ بَقَايَا ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ، وَقَدْ حَلَفَ لَهُمْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَطَلَبَ شَاوُلُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُمْ لِأَجْلِ غَيْرَتِهِ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا.
2 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 kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);
3 قَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ: «مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ لَكُمْ؟ وَبِمَاذَا أُكَفِّرُ فَتُبَارِكُوا نَصِيبَ ٱلرَّبِّ؟»
3 and David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless Yahweh’s inheritance?”
4 فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْجِبْعُونِيُّونَ: «لَيْسَ لَنَا فِضَّةٌ وَلَا ذَهَبٌ عِنْدَ شَاوُلَ وَلَا عِنْدَ بَيْتِهِ، وَلَيْسَ لَنَا أَنْ نُمِيتَ أَحَدًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». فَقَالَ: «مَهْمَا قُلْتُمْ أَفْعَلُهُ لَكُمْ».
4 The Gibeonites said to him, “It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” He said, “I will do for you whatever you say.”
5 فَقَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ: «ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي أَفْنَانَا وَٱلَّذِي تَآمَرَ عَلَيْنَا لِيُبِيدَنَا لِكَيْ لَا نُقِيمَ فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،
5 They said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
6 فَلْنُعْطَ سَبْعَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ بَنِيهِ فَنَصْلِبَهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ فِي جِبْعَةِ شَاوُلَ مُخْتَارِ ٱلرَّبِّ». فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «أَنَا أُعْطِي».
6 let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh.” The king said, “I will give them.”
7 وَأَشْفَقَ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَلَى مَفِيبُوشَثَ بْنِ يُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ مِنْ أَجْلِ يَمِينِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَهُمَا، بَيْنَ دَاوُدَ وَيُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ.
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Yahweh’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 فَأَخَذَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱبْنَيْ رِصْفَةَ ٱبْنَةِ أَيَّةَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ وَلَدَتْهُمَا لِشَاوُلَ: أَرْمُونِيَ وَمَفِيبُوشَثَ، وَبَنِي مِيكَالَ ٱبْنَةِ شَاوُلَ ٱلْخَمْسَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَدَتْهُمْ لِعَدْرِئِيلَ بْنِ بَرْزِلَّايَ ٱلْمَحُولِيِّ،
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 Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 وَسَلَّمَهُمْ إِلَى يَدِ ٱلْجِبْعُونِيِّينَ، فَصَلَبُوهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. فَسَقَطَ ٱلسَّبْعَةُ مَعًا وَقُتِلُوا فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْحَصَادِ، فِي أَوَّلِهَا فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ حَصَادِ ٱلشَّعِيرِ.
9 He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites; and they hanged them on the mountain before Yahweh, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
10 فَأَخَذَتْ رِصْفَةُ ٱبْنَةُ أَيَّةَ مِسْحًا وَفَرَشَتْهُ لِنَفْسِهَا عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ مِنِ ٱبْتِدَاءِ ٱلْحَصَادِ حَتَّى ٱنْصَبَّ ٱلْمَاءُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَلَمْ تَدَعْ طُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَهَارًا، وَلَا حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْحَقْلِ لَيْلًا.
10 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.
11 فَأُخْبِرَ دَاوُدُ بِمَا فَعَلَتْ رِصْفَةُ ٱبْنَةُ أَيَّةَ سُرِّيَّةُ شَاوُلَ.
11 David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 فَذَهَبَ دَاوُدُ وَأَخَذَ عِظَامَ شَاوُلَ وَعِظَامَ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ يَابِيشِ جِلْعَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَرِقُوهَا مِنْ شَارِعِ بَيْتِ شَانَ، حَيْثُ عَلَّقَهُمَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ يَوْمَ ضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ شَاوُلَ فِي جِلْبُوعَ.
12 So 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 in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa;
13 فَأَصْعَدَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عِظَامَ شَاوُلَ وَعِظَامَ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِهِ، وَجَمَعُوا عِظَامَ ٱلْمَصْلُوبِينَ،
13 and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. They also gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
14 وَدَفَنُوا عِظَامَ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِهِ فِي أَرْضِ بَنْيَامِينَ فِي صَيْلَعَ، فِي قَبْرِ قَيْسَ أَبِيهِ، وَعَمِلُوا كُلَّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلْمَلِكُ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱسْتَجَابَ ٱللهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer for the land.
15 وَكَانَتْ أَيْضًا حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، فَٱنْحَدَرَ دَاوُدُ وَعَبِيدُهُ مَعَهُ وَحَارَبُوا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، فَأَعْيَا دَاوُدُ.
15 The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. David grew faint;
16 وَيِشْبِي بَنُوبُ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ أَوْلَادِ رَافَا، وَوَزْنُ رُمْحِهِ ثَلَاثُ مِئَةِ شَاقِلِ نُحَاسٍ وَقَدْ تَقَلَّدَ جَدِيدًا، ٱفْتَكَرَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ دَاوُدَ.
16 and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought he would kill David.
17 فَأَنْجَدَهُ أَبِيشَايُ ٱبْنُ صَرُويَةَ، فَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيَّ وَقَتَلَهُ. حِينَئِذٍ حَلَفَ رِجَالُ دَاوُدَ لَهُ قَائِلِينَ: «لَا تَخْرُجُ أَيْضًا مَعَنَا إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَلَا تُطْفِئُ سِرَاجَ إِسْرَائِيلَ».
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.”
18 ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ كَانَتْ أَيْضًا حَرْبٌ فِي جُوبَ مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. حِينَئِذٍ سَبْكَايُ ٱلْحُوشِيُّ قَتَلَ سَافَ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مِنْ أَوْلَادِ رَافَا.
18 After this, there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
19 ثُمَّ كَانَتْ أَيْضًا حَرْبٌ فِي جُوبَ مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. فَأَلْحَانَانُ بْنُ يَعْرِي أُرَجِيمَ ٱلْبَيْتَلَحْمِيُّ قَتَلَ جِلْيَاتَ ٱلْجَتِّيَّ، وَكَانَتْ قَنَاةُ رُمْحِهِ كَنَوْلِ ٱلنَّسَّاجِينَ.
19 There was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 وَكَانَتْ أَيْضًا حَرْبٌ فِي جَتَّ، وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ طَوِيلَ ٱلْقَامَةِ أَصَابِعُ كُلٍّ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ سِتٌّ، وَأَصَابِعُ كُلٍّ مِنْ رِجْلَيْهِ سِتٌّ، عَدَدُهَا أَرْبَعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ، وَهُوَ أَيْضًا وُلِدَ لِرَافَا.
20 There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
21 وَلَمَّا عَيَّرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ضَرَبَهُ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شِمْعَى أَخِي دَاوُدَ.
21 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him.
22 هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ وُلِدُوا لِرَافَا فِي جَتَّ وَسَقَطُوا بِيَدِ دَاوُدَ وَبِيَدِ عَبِيدِهِ.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
