2 SAMUEL 24	صموئيل الثاني 24
1 Again the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah."	1 وَعَادَ فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَهَاجَ عَلَيْهِمْ دَاوُدَ قَائِلاً: «امْضِ وَأَحْصِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا».
2 So the king said to Joab the commander of the army who was with him, "Now go throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people."	2 فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِيُوآبَ رَئِيسِ الْجَيْشِ الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ: «طُفْ فِي جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دَانَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ وَعُدُّوا الشَّعْبَ، فَأَعْلَمَ عَدَدَ الشَّعْبِ».
3 And Joab said to the king, "Now may the Lord your God add to the people a hundred times more than there are, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king desire this thing?"	3 فَقَالَ يُوآبُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «لِيَزِدِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ الشَّعْبَ أَمْثَالَهُمْ مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ، وَعَيْنَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ نَاظِرَتَانِ. وَلَكِنْ لِمَاذَا يُسَرُّ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ بِهَذَا الأَمْرِ؟»
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Therefore Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.	4 فَاشْتَدَّ كَلاَمُ الْمَلِكِ عَلَى يُوآبَ وَعَلَى رُؤَسَاءِ الْجَيْشِ، فَخَرَجَ يُوآبُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الْجَيْشِ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْمَلِكِ لِيَعُدُّوا إِسْرَائِيلَ.
5 And they crossed over the Jordan and camped in Aroer, on the right side of the town which is in the midst of the ravine of Gad, and toward Jazer.	5 فَعَبَرُوا الأُرْدُنَّ وَنَزَلُوا فِي عَرُوعِيرَ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ وَادِي جَادَ وَتُجَاهَ يَعْزِيرَ،
6 Then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon;	6 وَأَتُوا إِلَى جِلْعَادَ وَإِلَى أَرْضِ تَحْتِيمَ إِلَى حُدْشِي، ثُمَّ أَتُوا إِلَى دَانِ يَعَنَ وَاسْتَدَارُوا إِلَى صَيْدُونَ،
7 and they came to the stronghold of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to South Judah as far as Beersheba.	7 ثُمَّ أَتُوا إِلَى حِصْنِ صُورٍ وَجَمِيعِ مُدُنِ الْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا إِلَى جَنُوبِيِّ يَهُوذَا إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ
8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.	8 وَطَافُوا كُلَّ الأَرْضِ، وَجَاءُوا فِي نِهَايَةِ تِسْعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْماً إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.
9 Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king. And there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.	9 فَدَفَعَ يُوآبُ جُمْلَةَ عَدَدِ الشَّعْبِ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ، فَكَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ ثَمَانَ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ ذِي بَأْسٍ مُسْتَلِّ السَّيْفِ، وَرِجَالُ يَهُوذَا خَمْسَ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ.
10 And David's heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the Lord, "I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O Lord, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly."	10 وَضَرَبَ دَاوُدَ قَلْبُهُ بَعْدَمَا عَدَّ الشَّعْبَ. فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلرَّبِّ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ جِدّاً فِي مَا فَعَلْتُ، وَالآنَ يَا رَبُّ أَزِلْ إِثْمَ عَبْدِكَ لأَنِّي انْحَمَقْتُ جِدّاً».
11 Now when David arose in the morning, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,	11 وَلَمَّا قَامَ دَاوُدُ صَبَاحاً كَانَ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى جَادٍ النَّبِيِّ رَائِي دَاوُدَ:
12 "Go and tell David, 'Thus says the Lord: "I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you." ' "	12 «اِذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِدَاوُدَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: ثَلاَثَةً أَنَا عَارِضٌ عَلَيْكَ، فَاخْتَرْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَاحِداً مِنْهَا فَأَفْعَلَهُ بِكَ».
13 So Gad came to David and told him; and he said to him, "Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or shall you flee three months before your enemies, while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' plague in your land? Now consider and see what answer I should take back to Him who sent me."	13 فَأَتَى جَادُ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَتَأْتِي عَلَيْكَ سَبْعُ سِنِي جُوعٍ فِي أَرْضِكَ، أَمْ تَهْرُبُ ثَلاَثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكَ وَهُمْ يَتْبَعُونَكَ، أَمْ يَكُونُ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَبَأٌ فِي أَرْضِكَ؟ فَالآنَ اعْرِفْ وَانْظُرْ مَاذَا أَرُدُّ جَوَاباً عَلَى مُرْسِلِي».
14 And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the Lord, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."	14 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِجَادٍ: «قَدْ ضَاقَ بِيَ الأَمْرُ جِدّاً. فَلْنَسْقُطْ فِي يَدِ الرَّبِّ لأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَلاَ أَسْقُطْ فِي يَدِ إِنْسَانٍ».
15 So the Lord sent a plague upon Israel from the morning till the appointed time. From Dan to Beersheba seventy thousand men of the people died.	15 فَجَعَلَ الرَّبُّ وَبَأً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الصَّبَاحِ إِلَى الْمِيعَادِ، فَمَاتَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ مِنْ دَانٍ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ.
16 And when the angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord relented from the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "It is enough; now restrain your hand." And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.	16 وَبَسَطَ الْمَلاَكُ يَدَهُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيُهْلِكَهَا، فَنَدِمَ الرَّبُّ عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَقَالَ لِلْمَلاَكِ الْمُهْلِكِ الشَّعْبَ: «كَفَى! الآنَ رُدَّ يَدَكَ». وَكَانَ مَلاَكُ الرَّبِّ عِنْدَ بَيْدَرِ أَرُونَةَ الْيَبُوسِيِّ.
17 Then David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, "Surely I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father's house."	17 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلرَّبَّ عِنْدَمَا رَأَى الْمَلاَكَ الضَّارِبَ الشَّعْبَ: «هَا أَنَا أَخْطَأْتُ وَأَنَا أَذْنَبْتُ، وَأَمَّا هَؤُلاَءِ الْخِرَافُ فَمَاذَا فَعَلُوا؟ فَلْتَكُنْ يَدُكَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي».
18 And Gad came that day to David and said to him, "Go up, erect an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."	18 فَجَاءَ جَادُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «اصْعَدْ وَأَقِمْ لِلرَّبِّ مَذْبَحاً فِي بَيْدَرِ أَرُونَةَ الْيَبُوسِيِّ».
19 So David, according to the word of Gad, went up as the Lord commanded.	19 فَصَعِدَ دَاوُدُ حَسَبَ كَلاَمِ جَادَ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ.
20 Now Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming toward him. So Araunah went out and bowed before the king with his face to the ground.	20 فَتَطَلَّعَ أَرُونَةُ وَرَأَى الْمَلِكَ وَعَبِيدَهُ يُقْبِلُونَ إِلَيْهِ، فَخَرَجَ أَرُونَةُ وَسَجَدَ لِلْمَلِكِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ.
21 Then Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to the Lord, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people."	21 وَقَالَ أَرُونَةُ: «لِمَاذَا جَاءَ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ إِلَى عَبْدِهِ؟» فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «لأَشْتَرِيَ مِنْكَ الْبَيْدَرَ لأَبْنِيَ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ فَتَكُفَّ الضَّرْبَةُ عَنِ الشَّعْبِ».
22 Now Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever seems good to him. Look, here are oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing implements and the yokes of the oxen for wood.	22 فَقَالَ أَرُونَةُ لِدَاوُدَ: «فَلْيَأْخُذْهُ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ وَيُصْعِدْ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. انْظُرْ. الْبَقَرُ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ، وَالنَّوَارِجُ وَأَدَوَاتُ الْبَقَرِ حَطَباً».
23 All these, O king, Araunah has given to the king." And Araunah said to the king, "May the Lord your God accept you."	23 اَلْكُلُّ دَفَعَهُ أَرُونَةُ الْمَالِكُ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ. وَقَالَ أَرُونَةُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ يَرْضَى عَنْكَ».
24 Then the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God with that which costs me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.	24 فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لأَرُونَةَ: «لاَ. بَلْ أَشْتَرِي مِنْكَ بِثَمَنٍ وَلاَ أُصْعِدُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِي مُحْرَقَاتٍ مَجَّانِيَّةً». فَاشْتَرَى دَاوُدُ الْبَيْدَرَ وَالْبَقَرَ بِخَمْسِينَ شَاقِلاً مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ.
25 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.	25 وَبَنَى دَاوُدُ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ وَأَصْعَدَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلاَمَةٍ. وَاسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ الأَرْضِ، فَكَفَّتِ الضَّرْبَةُ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
