1 N ow these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.

وَهَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الرِّجالُ الَّذِينَ أتُوا إلَى داوُدَ فِي صِقلَعَ، وَهُوَ بَعْدُ مُختَبِئٌ خَوْفاً مِنَ المَلِكِ شاوُلَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ. وَهُمْ مِنْ بَينِ المُحارِبِينَ الَّذِينَ أعانُوهُ فِي القِتالِ.

2 T hey were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow: they were of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.

كانُوا رُماةَ سِهامٍ، بِمَقْدُورِهِمْ أنْ يَرْمُوا سِهاماً وَحِجارَةَ مَقالِعَ بِاليَدِ اليُمْنَى وَاليُسْرَى أيْضاً. كانُوا رِجالاً مِنْ قَبِيلَةِ بَنْيامِيْنَ الَّتِي يَنتَمِي إلَيها قَيْسٌ.

3 T he chief was Ahiezer; then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite, and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah, and Jehu the Anathothite,

الرَّئِيسُ أخِيعَزَرُ وَيُوآشُ ابْنا شَماعَةَ الجِبْعِيِّ، وَيَزُوئِيلُ وَفالَطُ ابْنا عَزْمُوتَ، وَبَراخَةُ وَياهُو العَناثُوثِيُّ،

4 a nd Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty, and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite,

وَيَشْمَعْيا الجَبْعُونِيُّ – وَهُوَ مُحارِبٌ بَينَ الثَّلاثِينَ وَآمِرٌ عَلَيهِمْ – وَيَرْمِيا وَيَحْزِيئِيلُ وَيُوحانانُ وَيُوزابادُ الجَدِيرِيُّ،

5 E luzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,

وَإلْعُوزايُ وَيَرِيمُوثُ وَبَعلِيا وَشَمَرْيا وَشَفَطْيا الحَرُوفِيُّ

6 E lkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites,

وَألْقانَةُ وَيَشِيّا وَعَزْرِيئِيلُ وَيُوعَزَرُ وَيَشُبَعامُ القُورَحِيُّونَ،

7 a nd Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

وَيُوعِيلَةَ وَزَبَدْيا ابْنا يَرُوحامَ مِنْ جَدُورَ. الجادِيُّون

8 A nd of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David to the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, that could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;

وَانْفَصَلَ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجالُ عَنِ الجادِيِّينَ، وَانضَمُّوا إلَى داوُدَ فِي الحِصْنِ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ، وَهُمْ مُحارِبُونَ شُجْعانٌ، مُدرَّبُونَ عَلَى القِتالِ، وَماهِرُونَ فِي اسْتِخدامِ التُّرْسِ وَالرُّمْحِ. كانَتْ لَهُمْ شَراسَةُ الأُسُودِ وَرَشاقَةُ الظِّباءِ وَسُرْعَتُهُم عَلَى الجِبالِ:

9 E zer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

عازَرُ الرَّئِيسُ، وَالثّانِي عُوبَدْيا، وَالثّالِثُ ألِيآبُ،

10 M ishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

وَالرّابِعُ مِشْمِنَّةُ، وَالخامِسُ يَرَمْيا،

11 A ttai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

وَالسّادِسُ عَتّايُ، وَالسّابِعُ إيلِيئِيلُ،

12 J ohanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

وَالثّامِنُ يُوحانانُ، وَالتّاسِعُ ألزابادُ،

13 J eremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.

وَالعاشِرُ يَرَمْيا، وَالحادِي عَشَرَ مَخبَنايُ.

14 T hese of the sons of Gad were captains of the host: he that was least was equal to a hundred, and the greatest to a thousand.

كانَ هَؤُلاءِ الجادِيُّونَ رُؤَساءَ الجَيشِ، وَكانَ أقَلُّ هَؤُلاءِ رَئِيساً لِمِئَةٍ، وَأعظَمَهُمْ رَئِيساً لِألْفٍ.

15 T hese are they that went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.

هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الرِّجالُ الَّذِينَ عَبَرُوا نَهْرَ الأُردُنِّ فِي الشَّهْرِ الأوَّلِ عِندَما كانَ فائِضاً عَلَى جَمِيعِ ضِفافِهِ، وَطارَدُوا كُلَّ الَّذِينَ كانُوا فِي الوادِي شَرْقاً وَغَرْباً. جُنُودٌ أخَرُونَ لِداوُد

16 A nd there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold unto David.

وَجاءَ رِجالٌ آخَرُونَ مِنْ بَنْيامِيْنَ وَيَهُوذا أيضاً إلَى داوُدَ فِي الحِصْنِ.

17 A nd David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, my heart shall be knit unto you; but if ye be come to betray me to mine adversaries, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.

فَخَرَجَ داوُدُ لاسْتِقْبالِهِمْ، وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «إنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ جِئْتُمْ إلَيَّ فِي سَلامٍ لِتُساعِدُونِي، فَإنَّهُ يُسْعِدُنِي أنْ تَنضَمُّوا إلَيَّ. أمّا إذا جِئْتُمْ إلَيَّ لِكَي تَبِيعُونِي لِأعدائِي، مَعَ أنِّي لَمْ أُسِئْ إلَيكُمْ، فَلَيتَ إلَهَ آبائِنا يَنظُرُ وَيُجازِيكُمْ.»

18 T hen the Spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thy helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

حِينَئِذٍ حَلَّ رُوحُ اللهِ عَلَى عَماسايَ، رَئِيسِ المحارِبينَ الشجعانِ الثَّلاثِينَ، وَقالَ: «نَحْنُ فِي صَفِّكَ يا داوُدُ! نَحنُ مَعَكَ يا ابْنَ يَسَّى! فَسَلامٌ لَكَ، وَسَلامٌ لِمَنْ يُعِينُونَكَ! لأنَّ إلَهُكَ قَدْ أعانَكَ.» فَرَحَّبَ بِهِمْ داوُدُ وَوَضَعَهُمْ بَينَ قادَةِ جُنُودِهِ المُغِيرِينَ.

19 O f Manasseh also there fell away some to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not; for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall away to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.

وَجاءَ بَعضُ الرِّجالِ أيضاً مِنْ مَنَسَّى وَانضَمُّوا إلَى داوُدَ عِندَما خَرَجَ مَعَ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ فِي القِتالِ ضِدَّ شاوُلَ. لَكِنَّ داوُدَ لَمْ يُساعِدِ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ، لِأنَّ سادَةَ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ صَرَفُوهُ بِعْدَ التَّشاوُرِ مَعاً وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ لِأنفُسِهِمْ: «سَيَفِرُّ إلَى سَيِّدِهِ شاوُلَ، وَسَيُكَلِّفُنا ذَلِكَ حَياتَنا.»

20 A s he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands that were of Manasseh.

وَعِندَما ذَهَبَ إلَى صِقلَعَ انضَمَّ إلَيهِ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجالُ مِنْ مَنَسَّى هُمْ عَدْناحُ وَيُوزابادُ وَيَدِيعَئِيلُ وَمِيخائِيلُ وَيُوزابادُ وَألِيهُو وَصِلْتايُ وَكانُوا رُؤَساءَ آلافٍ فِي مَنَسَّى.

21 A nd they helped David against the band of rovers: for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the host.

وَأعانُوا داوُدَ عَلَى فِرْقَةِ المُغِيرِينَ، إذْ كانُوا كُلُّهُمْ مُحارِبِينَ شُجْعاناً، وَصارُوا قادَةً فِي الجَيشِ.

22 F or from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great host, like the host of God.

وَكانَ الرِّجالُ يأتُونَ عَلَى داوُدَ يَوْماً بَعْدَ يَوْمٍ لِيُعِينُوهُ، إلَى أنْ صارَ هُناكَ جَيشٌ عَظِيمٌ كَجَيشِ اللهِ. آخَرونَ ينضَمُّونَ إلَى داوُدَ فِي حَبرُون

23 A nd these are the numbers of the heads of them that were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of Jehovah.

وَهَذِهِ هِيَ أعدادُ الرِّجالِ المُهَيَّئِينَ لِلخِدمَةِ العَسْكَرِيَّةِ، الَّذِينَ جاءُوا إلَى داوُدَ فِي حَبْرُونَ لِكَي يُبايِعُوهُ عَلَى نَقلِ مَملَكَةِ شاوُلَ إلَيهِ كَما قالَ اللهُ:

24 T he children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, armed for war.

رِجالُ يَهُوذا، حَمَلَةُ التُّرْسِ وَالرُّمْحِ، سِتَّةُ آلافٍ وَثَمانِي مِئَةٍ مُهَيَّئِينَ لِلخِدْمَةِ العَسْكَرِيَّةِ.

29 A nd of the children of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to the house of Saul.

مِنْ رِجالِ بَنْيامِيْنَ، أهلِ شاوُلَ، ثَلاثَةُ آلافٍ بَقِيَ مُعظَمُهُمْ مُوالِياً لِعائِلَةِ شاوُلَ حَتَّى ذَلِكَ الحِينِ.

31 A nd of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were mentioned by name, to come and make David king.

مِنْ نِصْفِ قَبِيلَةِ مَنَسَّى ثَمانِيَةَ عَشَرَ ألفاً عُيِّنُوا بِالاسْمِ لِكَي يَأْتُوا وَيُبايِعُوا داوُدَ مَلِكاً.

32 A nd of the children of Issachar, men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.

مِنْ رِجالِ يَسّاكَرَ، رِجالٌ فَهِمُوا الأوقاتَ، وَكانُوا يَعْرِفُون ما يَنْبَغِي أنْ تَفْعَلَهُ إسْرائِيلُ، مِئَتا رَئِيسٍ وَكُلُّ أقارِبِهِمِ الَّذِينَ تَحتَ إمْرَتِهِمْ.

33 O f Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the host, that could set the battle in array, with all manner of instruments of war, fifty thousand, and that could order the battle array, and were not of double heart.

مِنْ رِجالِ زَبُولُونَ، رِجالٌ لائِقُونَ لِلخِدْمَةِ، وَمُسْتَعِدُّونَ لِلقِتالِ بِكُلِّ أنْواعِ الأسلِحَةِ، خَمْسُونَ ألفاً جاءُوا مَعاً مُوَحَّدِينَ فِي الرَّأْيِ.

34 A nd of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.

وَمِنْ نَفْتالِي، ألفُ قائِدٍ، وَمَعَهُمْ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَلاثُونَ مُحارِباً مُسَلَّحاً بِالتُّرْسِ وَالرُّمْحِ.

38 A ll these being men of war, that could order the battle array, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

جاءَ كُلُّ هَؤُلاءِ المُحِارِبِينَ الَّذِينَ تَجَمَّعُوا فِي تَشْكِيلَةِ قِتالٍ إلَى حَبْرُونَ مُوَحَّدِي الرَّأْيِ عَلَى تَنصِيبِ داوُدَ مَلِكاً عَلَى كُلِّ إسْرائِيلَ، وَكانَتْ بَقِيَّةُ إسْرائِيلَ مُوَحَّدَةَ الرَّأْيِ أيضاً عَلَى تَنصِيبِ داوُدَ مَلِكاً عَلَى كُلِّ إسْرائِيلَ،

39 A nd they were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brethren had made preparation for them.

وَمَكَثُوا هَناكَ مَعَ داوُدَ ثَلاثَةَ أيّامٍ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ، لِأنَّ أقارِبَهُمْ زَوَّدُوهُمْ بِالطَّعامِ.

وَجاءَ أيضاً جِيرانُهُمْ حَتَّى مِنْ يَسّاكَرَ وَزَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتالِي، يَحمِلُونَ طَعاماً عَلَى الحَمِيرِ وَالجِمالِ وَالبِغالِ وَالثِّيرانِ: مُؤَناً مِنْ طَحِينٍ، وَكَعْكِ تِينٍ، وَنَبِيذٍ وَزَيتٍ، وَثِيرانٍ وَخِرافٍ بِأعدادٍ كَبِيرَةٍ، إذْ كانَ هُناكَ فَرَحٌ فِي إسْرائِيلَ.
