1 A nd after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

بَعْدَ مُرورِ وَقْتٍ، هاجَمَ داوُدُ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ وَأخْضَعَهُمْ. وَكانَتْ عاصِمَتُهُمْ قَدْ سَيطَرَتْ عَلَى بُقْعَةٍ واسِعَةٍ مِنَ الأرْضِ، فَسَيْطَرَ داوُدُ عَلَيْها.

2 A nd he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.

كَما هَزَمَ داوُدُ المُوآبِيِّينَ. فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ، أجْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى الاسْتِلقاءِ عَلَى الأرْضِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَخْدَمَ حَبلاً لِيُوَزِّعَهُم ضِمْنَ صُفُوفٍ. فَقَتَلَ صَفّينِ مِنْ صُفوفِ الرِّجالِ، وَأُبْقِيَ عَلَى حياةِ مَنْ كانُوا فِي الصَّفِّ الثّالِثِ. وَهَكَذا، أصْبَحَ المُوآبِيُّونَ خَدَمَ داوُدَ يَدْفَعُونَ لَهُ الجِزْيَةَ.

3 D avid smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.

وكانَ هَدَدُ عَزَرُ بنُ رَحُوبَ ملِكَ صَوبَةَ. وَقَدْ هَزَمَهُ داوُدُ يَوْمَ ذهَبَ لِيستَولِيَ عَلَى المِنْطَقَةِ الواقِعَةِ بالْقُرْبِ من نَهْرِ الفُراتِ.

4 A nd David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.

أخَذَ داوُدُ مِنْ هدَدَ عَزَرَ ألفاً وَسَبعَ مِئَةِ خيّالٍ وَعِشْرينَ ألفاً مِنَ المُشاةِ. فَعَطَّلَ المَرْكَباتِ كُلَّها ما عَدا مِئَةَ مَرْكَبَةٍ.

5 A nd when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

وَجاءَ آرامِيُّو دِمَشْقَ لِمُساعَدَةِ هَدَدَ عَزَرَ ملِكِ صُوبَة. لَكِنَّ داوُدَ هَزَمَ الأرامِيِّينَ وَقَتَلَ مِنُهُمُ اثْنَينِ وَعِشرينَ ألفاً.

6 T hen David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.

ثُمَّ وَضَعَ فِرَقاً من الجُنودِ في دِمَشْقَ، فِي أرامَ. وَأصْبَحَ الأرامِيُّونَ خَدَمَ داوُدَ يَدْفَعُونَ لَهُ الجِزْيَةَ. وَكانَ اللهُ يَنْصُرُ داوُدَ حَيثُما تَوَجَّهَ.

7 A nd David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

وَأخَذَ داوُدُ الدُّرُوعَ الذَّهَبِيَّةَ الّتِي كانَتْ مُلْكاً لِخَدَمِ هدَدَ عَزَرَ، وَأحْضَرَها إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

8 A nd from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.

كَما أخَذَ أشْياءَ كَثيرَةً جِداً مِنَ البُرونْزِ مِنْ باطِحَ وَبِيرَوَثايَ – وَهُما مَدينَتانِ مِنْ مُدُنِ هَددَ عَزَرَ.

9 W hen Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,

وَسَمِعَ تُوعِي مَلِكُ حَماةَ أنَّ داوُدَ قَدْ هَزَمَ جَيْشَ هَدَدَ عَزَرَ كُلَّهُ.

10 t hen Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:

فَأرْسَلَ ابْنَهُ يُورامَ إلَى المَلِكِ داوُدَ يُحَيِّيهِ. فَحَيّا يُورامُ داوُدَ وَبارَكَهُ لأنَّهُ حارَبَ هَدَدَ عَزَرَ وَهَزَمَهُ. وَكانَ هَدَدُ عَزَرُ قَدْ شَنَّ حُروباً ضِدَّ تُوعِي مِنْ قَبلُ. فَأحْضَرَ يُورامُ هَدايا مِنَ الفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَالبُرونْزِ.

11 w hich also king David did dedicate unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

فأخَذَها داوُدُ وَكَرَّسَها للهِ ، مَعَ الذَّهَبِ وَالفِضَّةِ الَّتي غَنِمَها مِنَ الأُمَمِ الّتي هَزَمَها.

12 o f Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

فَقَدْ غَنِمَ مِنَ الأرامِيِّينَ وَالمُوآبِيِّينَ وَالعَمُّونِيِّينَ وَالفلِسْطِيِّينَ وَالعَمالِيقَ وَمِنْ أمْوالِ هَدَدَ عَزَرَ بنَ رَحُوبَ مَلِكِ صُوبَة.

13 A nd David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.

وَقَتَلَ داوُدُ ثَمانِيَةَ عَشَرَ ألفاً مِنَ الأرامِيِّينَ فِي وادِي المِلْحِ. فَازْدادَتْ شُهْرَتُهُ عَنْدَما عادَ إلَى دِيارِهِ.

14 A nd he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.

وَوَضَعَ داود فِرَقاً مِنَ الجُنودِ في كافَّةِ أنْحاءِ أدُومَ التي أصْبَح سُكّانُها كُلُّهم مِنْ خُدّامِهِ وَخاضِعِينَ لَهُ. وَكانَ اللهُ يَنْصُرُ داوُدَ حَيثُما تَوَجَّهَ. حُكْمُ داوُد

15 A nd David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.

وَحَكَمَ داوُدُ إسْرائِيلَ كُلَّها. وَكانَ يَحْكُمُ شَعبَهُ بِالحَقِّ وَالإنْصافِ.

16 A nd Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

كانَ يُوآبُ بنُ صُرُوِيَّةَ قائِدَ الجَيْشِ. وَيَهُوشافاطُ بنُ أَخيلُودَ المُؤَرّخَ.

17 a nd Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;

وَكانَ صادُوقُ بنُ أَخِيطُوبَ وَأخِيمالِكُ بنُ أبِياثارَ كاهِنَيْنِ. وَكانَ سَرايا كاتِباً،

18 a nd Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief rulers.

وَبَناياهُو بْنُ يَهُوياداعَ مَسْؤُولاً عَنْ الكْرِيتيِّينَ وَالفِليتيّينَ. أمّا أبناءُ داوُدَ فَكانُوا مِنَ القادَةِ المُهِمِّينَ.
