1 Cronache ( اخبار) 14

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 وارسل حيرام ملك صور رسلا الى داود وخشب ارز وبنائين ونجارين ليبنوا له بيتا.	1 Hiram, king of Tyre, sent envoys to David along with masons and carpenters, and cedar wood to build him a house.
2 وعلم داود ان الرب قد اثبته ملكا على اسرائيل لان مملكته ارتفعت متصاعدة من اجل شعبه اسرائيل	2 David now understood that the LORD had truly confirmed him as king over Israel, for his kingdom was greatly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.
3 واخذ داود نساء ايضا في اورشليم وولد ايضا داود بنين وبنات	3 David took other wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 وهذه اسماء الاولاد الذين كانوا له في اورشليم. شمّوع وشوباب وناثان وسليمان	4 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 ويبحار واليشوع والفالط	5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 ونوجه ونافج ويافيع	6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 واليشمع وبعلياداع واليفلط	7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 وسمع الفلسطينيون ان داود قد مسح ملكا على كل اسرائيل فصعد كل الفلسطينيين ليفتشوا على داود. ولما سمع داود خرج لاستقبالهم.	8 When the Philistines had heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, they went up in unison to seek him out. But when David heard of this, he marched out against them.
9 فجاء الفلسطينيون وانتشروا في وادي الرفائيين.	9 Meanwhile the Philistines had come and raided the valley of Rephaim.
10 فسأل داود من الله قائلا أأصعد على الفلسطينيين فتدفعهم ليدي. فقال له الرب اصعد فادفعهم ليدك.	10 David inquired of God, "Shall I advance against the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my power?" The LORD answered him, "Advance, for I will deliver them into your power."
11 فصعدوا الى بعل فراصيم وضربهم داود هناك. وقال داود قد اقتحم الله اعدائي بيدي كاقتحام المياه. لذلك دعوا اسم ذلك الموضع بعل فراصيم.	11 They advanced, therefore, to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, "God has used me to break through my enemies just as water breaks through a dam." Therefore that place was called Baal-perazim.
12 وتركوا هناك آلهتهم فامر داود فأحرقت بالنار.	12 The Philistines had left their gods there, and David ordered them to be burnt.
13 ثم عاد الفلسطينيون ايضا وانتشروا في الوادي.	13 Once again the Philistines raided the valley,
14 فسأل ايضا داود من الله فقال له الله لا تصعد وراءهم تحوّل عنهم وهلم عليهم مقابل اشجار البكا.	14 and again David inquired of God. But God answered him: "Do not try to pursue them, but go around them and come upon them from the direction of the mastic trees.
15 وعندما تسمع صوت خطوات في رؤوس اشجار البكا فاخرج حينئذ للحرب لان الله يخرج امامك لضرب محلّة الفلسطينيين.	15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mastic trees, then go forth to battle, for God has already gone before you to strike the army of the Philistines."
16 ففعل داود كما امره الله وضربوا محلّة الفلسطينيين من جبعون الى جازر	16 David did as God commanded him, and they routed the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer.
17 وخرج اسم داود الى جميع الاراضي وجعل الرب هيبته على جميع الامم	17 Thus David's fame was spread abroad through every land, and the LORD made all the nations fear him.
