Sh'muel (שמואל) - 2 Samuele 1

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי מֹות שָׁאוּל וְדָוִד שָׁב מֵהַכֹּות אֶת־הָעֲמָלֵק וַיֵּשֶׁב דָּוִד בְּצִקְלָג יָמִים שְׁנָיִם	1 Now it came to pass, after Saul was dead, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalecites, and abode two days in Siceleg.
2 וַיְהִי ׀ בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וְהִנֵּה אִישׁ בָּא מִן־הַמַּחֲנֶה מֵעִם שָׁאוּל וּבְגָדָיו קְרֻעִים וַאֲדָמָה עַל־רֹאשֹׁו וַיְהִי בְּבֹאֹו אֶל־דָּוִד וַיִּפֹּל אַרְצָה וַיִּשְׁתָּחוּ	2 And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul's camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David, he fell upon his face, and adored.
3 וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו דָּוִד אֵי מִזֶּה תָּבֹוא וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו מִמַּחֲנֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל נִמְלָטְתִּי	3 And David said to him: From whence comest thou? And he said to him: I am fled out of the camp of Israel.
4 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו דָּוִד מֶה־הָיָה הַדָּבָר הַגֶּד־נָא לִי וַיֹּאמֶר אֲשֶׁר־נָס הָעָם מִן־הַמִּלְחָמָה וְגַם־הַרְבֵּה נָפַל מִן־הָעָם וַיָּמֻתוּ וְגַם שָׁאוּל וִיהֹונָתָן בְּנֹו מֵתוּ	4 And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? tell me. He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain.
5 וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־הַנַּעַר הַמַּגִּיד לֹו אֵיךְ יָדַעְתָּ כִּי־מֵת שָׁאוּל וִיהֹונָתָן בְּנֹו	5 And David said to the young man that told him: How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son, are dead?
6 וַיֹּאמֶר הַנַּעַר ׀ הַמַּגִּיד לֹו נִקְרֹא נִקְרֵיתִי בְּהַר הַגִּלְבֹּעַ וְהִנֵּה שָׁאוּל נִשְׁעָן עַל־חֲנִיתֹו וְהִנֵּה הָרֶכֶב וּבַעֲלֵי הַפָּרָשִׁים הִדְבִּקֻהוּ	6 And the young man that told him, said: I came by chance upon mount Gelboe, and Saul leaned upon his spear: and the chariots and horsemen drew nigh unto him,
7 וַיִּפֶן אַחֲרָיו וַיִּרְאֵנִי וַיִּקְרָא אֵלָי וָאֹמַר הִנֵּנִי	7 And looking behind him, and seeing me, he called me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 וַיֹּאמֶר לִי מִי־אָתָּה [וַיֹּאמֶר כ] (וָאֹמַר ק) אֵלָיו עֲמָלֵקִי אָנֹכִי	8 And he said to me: Who art thou? And I said to him: I am an Amalecite.
9 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי עֲמָד־נָא עָלַי וּמֹתְתֵנִי כִּי אֲחָזַנִי הַשָּׁבָץ כִּי־כָל־עֹוד נַפְשִׁי בִּי	9 And he said to me: Stand over me, and kill me: for anguish is come upon me, and as yet my whole life is in me.
10 וָאֶעֱמֹד עָלָיו וַאֲמֹתְתֵהוּ כִּי יָדַעְתִּי כִּי לֹא יִחְיֶה אַחֲרֵי נִפְלֹו וָאֶקַּח הַנֵּזֶר ׀ אֲשֶׁר עַל־רֹאשֹׁו וְאֶצְעָדָה אֲשֶׁר עַל־זְרֹעֹו וָאֲבִיאֵם אֶל־אֲדֹנִי הֵנָּה	10 So standing over him, I killed him: for I knew that he could not live after the fall: and I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm and have brought them hither to thee, my lord.
11 וַיַּחֲזֵק דָּוִד [בִּבְגָדֹו כ] (בִּבְגָדָיו ק) וַיִּקְרָעֵם וְגַם כָּל־הָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר אִתֹּו	11 Then David took hold of his garments and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him.
12 וַיִּסְפְּדוּ וַיִּבְכּוּ וַיָּצֻמוּ עַד־הָעָרֶב עַל־שָׁאוּל וְעַל־יְהֹונָתָן בְּנֹו וְעַל־עַם יְהוָה וְעַל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי נָפְלוּ בֶּחָרֶב׃ ס	12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were fallen by the sword.
13 וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־הַנַּעַר הַמַּגִּיד לֹו אֵי מִזֶּה אָתָּה וַיֹּאמֶר בֶּן־אִישׁ גֵּר עֲמָלֵקִי אָנֹכִי	13 And David said to the young man that told him: Whence art thou? He answered: I am the son of a stranger of Amalee.
14 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו דָּוִד אֵיךְ לֹא יָרֵאתָ לִשְׁלֹחַ יָדְךָ לְשַׁחֵת אֶת־מְשִׁיחַ יְהוָה	14 David said to him: Why didst thou not fear to put out thy hand to kill the Lord's anointed?
15 וַיִּקְרָא דָוִד לְאַחַד מֵהַנְּעָרִים וַיֹּאמֶר גַּשׁ פְּגַע־בֹּו וַיַּכֵּהוּ וַיָּמֹת	15 And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died.
16 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו דָּוִד [דָּמֵיךָ כ] (דָּמְךָ ק) עַל־רֹאשֶׁךָ כִּי פִיךָ עָנָה בְךָ לֵאמֹר אָנֹכִי מֹתַתִּי אֶת־מְשִׁיחַ יְהוָה׃ ס	16 And David said to him: Thy blood be upon thy own head: for thy own mouth hath spoken against thee, saying: I have slain the Lord's anointed.
17 וַיְקֹנֵן דָּוִד אֶת־הַקִּינָה הַזֹּאת עַל־שָׁאוּל וְעַל־יְהֹונָתָן בְּנֹו	17 And David made this kind of lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son.
18 וַיֹּאמֶר לְלַמֵּד בְּנֵי־יְהוּדָה קָשֶׁת הִנֵּה כְתוּבָה עַל־סֵפֶר הַיָּשָׁר	18 (Also he commanded that they should teach the children of Juda the use of the bow, as it is written in the book of the just.) And he said: Consider, O Israel, for them that are dead, wounded on thy high places.
19 הַצְּבִי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־בָּמֹותֶיךָ חָלָל אֵיךְ נָפְלוּ גִבֹּורִים	19 The illustrious of Israel are slain upon thy mountains: how are the valiant fallen?
20 אַל־תַּגִּידוּ בְגַת אַל־תְּבַשְּׂרוּ בְּחוּצֹת אַשְׁקְלֹון פֶּן־תִּשְׂמַחְנָה בְּנֹות פְּלִשְׁתִּים פֶּן־תַּעֲלֹזְנָה בְּנֹות הָעֲרֵלִים	20 Tell it not in Geth, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon: lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph,
21 הָרֵי בַגִּלְבֹּעַ אַל־טַל וְאַל־מָטָר עֲלֵיכֶם וּשְׂדֵי תְרוּמֹת כִּי שָׁם נִגְעַל מָגֵן גִּבֹּורִים מָגֵן שָׁאוּל בְּלִי מָשִׁיחַ בַּשָּׁמֶן	21 Ye mountains of Gelboe, let neither dew, nor rain come upon you, neither be they fields of firstfruits: for there was cast away the shield of the valiant, the shield of Saul as though he had not been anointed with oil.
22 מִדַּם חֲלָלִים מֵחֵלֶב גִּבֹּורִים קֶשֶׁת יְהֹונָתָן לֹא נָשֹׂוג אָחֹור וְחֶרֶב שָׁאוּל לֹא תָשׁוּב רֵיקָם	22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the valiant, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23 שָׁאוּל וִיהֹונָתָן הַנֶּאֱהָבִים וְהַנְּעִימִם בְּחַיֵּיהֶם וּבְמֹותָם לֹא נִפְרָדוּ מִנְּשָׁרִים קַלּוּ מֵאֲרָיֹות גָּבֵרוּ	23 Saul and Jonathan, lovely, and comely in their life, even in death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
24 בְּנֹות יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־שָׁאוּל בְּכֶינָה הַמַּלְבִּשְׁכֶם שָׁנִי עִם־עֲדָנִים הַמַּעֲלֶה עֲדִי זָהָב עַל לְבוּשְׁכֶן	24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet in delights, who gave ornaments of gold for your attire.
25 אֵיךְ נָפְלוּ גִבֹּרִים בְּתֹוךְ הַמִּלְחָמָה יְהֹונָתָן עַל־בָּמֹותֶיךָ חָלָל	25 How are the valiant fallen in battle? Jonathan slain in the high places?
26 צַר־לִי עָלֶיךָ אָחִי יְהֹונָתָן נָעַמְתָּ לִּי מְאֹד נִפְלְאַתָה אַהֲבָתְךָ לִי מֵאַהֲבַת נָשִׁים	26 I grieve for thee, my brother Jonathan: exceeding beautiful, and amiable to me above the love of women. As the mother loveth her only son, so did I love thee.
27 אֵיךְ נָפְלוּ גִבֹּורִים וַיֹּאבְדוּ כְּלֵי מִלְחָמָה׃ פ	27 How are the valiant fallen, and the weapons of war perished?
