1 و َفِي الرَّبِيعِ، فِي الوَقْتِ المُعتادِ لانطِلاقِ المُلُوكِ لِشَنِّ الحُرُوبِ، قادَ يُوآبُ الجَيشَ، وَخَرَّبَ أرْضَ العَمُّونِيِّينَ. ثُمَّ جاءَ وَحاصَرَ مَدِينَةَ رَبَّةَ. وَهاجَمَ يُوآبُ رَبَّةَ وَدَمَّرَها. أمّا داوُدُ فَبَقِيَ فِي القُدْسِ.

It happened in the spring of the year, at the time kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the armed forces and ravaged the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab defeated Rabbah and overthrew it.

2 و َأخَذَ داوُدُ تاجَ مَلِكِهِمْ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ. وَكانَ يَزِنُ قِنطاراً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَمُرَصَّعاً بِالحِجارَةِ الكَرِيمةِ. فَوَضَعَهُ داوُدُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. وَأخَذَ مِنَ المَدِينَةِ الكَثِيرَ مِنَ الغَنائِمِ،

Then David took their king’s crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. And it was set on David’s head. Also he brought out the spoil of the city in great abundance.

3 و َأخرَجَ سُكّانَها مِنْها، وَفَرَضَ عَلَيهِمْ أنْ يَعمَلُوا بِمَناشِيرَ وَمَعاوِلَ حَدِيدِيَّةٍ وَفُؤُوسٍ. وَفَعَلَ داوُدُ هَذا الأمْرِ بِكُلِّ مُدُنِ العَمُّونِيِّينَ. ثُمَّ عادَ داوُدُ وَكُلُّ الجَيشِ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. حُرُوبٌ مَعَ الفِلِسطِيِّين

And he brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. So David did to all the cities of the people of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. Philistine Giants Destroyed

4 و َبَعْدَ مُدَّةٍ، وَقَعَتْ حَربٌ مَعَ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ فِي جازَرَ. وَفِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ، قَتَلَ سِبْكايُ الحُوشِيُّ سَفّايَ، وَهُوَ أحَدُ التَّابِعِينَ لِلإلَهِ المُزَيَّفِ رافا، فَأُخضِعَ الفِلِسْطِيُّونَ.

Now it happened afterward that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines, at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Sippai, who was one of the sons of the giant. And they were subdued.

5 و َوَقَعَتْ أيضاً حَربٌ أُخْرَى مَعَ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ، فَقَتَلَ ألْحانانُ بْنُ ياعُورَ لَحْمِيَ، أخِي جُلْياتَ الجَتِّيِّ، مَعَ أنَّ قَناةَ رُمحِهِ كانَتْ كَنَولِ النَّسّاجِ.

Again there was war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

6 و َوَقَعَتْ حَرْبٌ أُخْرَى مَعَ الفِلِسطِيِّينَ فِي جَتَّ، وَكانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ ضَخْمٌ ذُو سِتِّ أصابِعَ عَلَى كُلِّ مِنْ يَدَيهِ وَقَدَمَيهِ، أربَعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ إصْبِعاً. وَكانَ هُوَ أيضاً مِنْ أحفادِ الرَّفائِيمِ العمالقة.

Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, with twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.

7 ت َهَكَّمَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ عَلَى إسْرائِيلَ. فَقَتَلَهُ يُوناثانُ بْنُ شِمْعا أخِي داوُدَ.

So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.

8 ك انَ هَؤُلاءِ مِنْ بَنِي الرَّفائِيمِ العَمالِقَةِ، وَقَتَلَهُمْ داوُدُ وَرِجالُهُ.

These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
