1 Cronache ( اخبار) 19

SMITH VAN DYKE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 وكان بعد ذلك ان ناحاش ملك بني عمون مات فملك ابنه عوضا عنه.	1 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
2 فقال داود اصنع معروفا مع حانون بن ناحاش لان اباه صنع معي معروفا. فارسل داود رسلا ليعزيه بابيه. فجاء عبيد داود الى ارض بني عمون الى حانون ليعزّوه.	2 And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
3 فقال رؤساء بني عمون لحانون هل يكرم داود اباك في عينيك حتى ارسل اليك معزّين. أليس انما لاجل الفحص والقلب وتجسس الارض جاء عبيده اليك.	3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
4 فاخذ حانون عبيد داود وحلق لحاهم وقصّ ثيابهم من الوسط عند السوءة ثم اطلقهم.	4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 فذهب اناس واخبروا داود عن الرجال. فارسل للقائهم لان الرجال كانوا خجلين جدا. وقال الملك اقيموا في اريحا حتى تنبت لحاكم ثم ارجعوا	5 Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
6 ولما رأى بنو عمون انهم قد انتنوا عند داود ارسل حانون وبنو عمون الف وزنة من الفضة لكي يستأجروا لانفسهم من ارام النهرين ومن ارام معكة ومن صوبة مركبات وفرسانا.	6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah.
7 فاستأجروا لانفسهم اثنين وثلاثين الف مركبة وملك معكة وشعبه فجاءوا ونزلوا مقابل ميدبا. واجتمع بنو عمون من مدنهم وأتوا للحرب.	7 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 ولما سمع داود ارسل يوآب وكل جيش الجبابرة.	8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
9 فخرج بنو عمون واصطفوا للحرب عند باب المدينة والملوك الذين جاءوا كانوا وحدهم في الحقل.	9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
10 ولما رأى يوآب ان مقدمة الحرب كانت نحوه من قدام ومن وراء اختار من جميع منتخبي اسرائيل وصفّهم للقاء ارام.	10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11 وسلّم بقية الشعب ليد ابشاي اخيه فاصطفوا للقاء بني عمون.	11 And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 وقال ان قوي ارام عليّ تكون لي نجدة وان قوي بنو عمون عليك انجدتك.	12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
13 تجلّد ولنتشدد لاجل شعبنا ولاجل مدن الهنا وما يحسن في عيني الرب يفعل.	13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.
14 وتقدم يوآب والشعب الذين معه نحو ارام للمحاربة فهربوا من امامه.	14 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
15 ولما رأى بنو عمون انه قد هرب ارام هربوا هم ايضا من امام ابشاي اخيه ودخلوا الى المدينة. وجاء يوآب الى اورشليم	15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 ولما رأى ارام انهم قد انكسروا امام اسرائيل ارسلوا رسلا وابرزوا ارام الذين في عبر النهر وامامهم شوبك رئيس جيش هدرعزر.	16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
17 ولما أخبر داود جمع كل اسرائيل وعبر الاردن وجاء اليهم واصطف ضدّهم. اصطف داود للقاء ارام في الحرب فحاربوه.	17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
18 وهرب ارام من امام اسرائيل وقتل داود من ارام سبعة آلاف مركبة واربعين الف راجل وقتل شوبك رئيس الجيش.	18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
19 ولما رأى عبيد هدرعزر انهم قد انكسروا امام اسرائيل صالحوا داود وخدموه. ولم يشأ ارام ان ينجدوا بني عمون بعد	19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
