1وارسل حيرام ملك صور رسلا الى داود وخشب ارز وبنائين ونجارين ليبنوا له بيتا.
1Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
2وعلم داود ان الرب قد اثبته ملكا على اسرائيل لان مملكته ارتفعت متصاعدة من اجل شعبه اسرائيل
2David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake.
3واخذ داود نساء ايضا في اورشليم وولد ايضا داود بنين وبنات
3David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
4وهذه اسماء الاولاد الذين كانوا له في اورشليم. شمّوع وشوباب وناثان وسليمان
4These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5ويبحار واليشوع والفالط
5and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
6ونوجه ونافج ويافيع
6and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7واليشمع وبعلياداع واليفلط
7and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8وسمع الفلسطينيون ان داود قد مسح ملكا على كل اسرائيل فصعد كل الفلسطينيين ليفتشوا على داود. ولما سمع داود خرج لاستقبالهم.
8When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9فجاء الفلسطينيون وانتشروا في وادي الرفائيين.
9Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
10فسأل داود من الله قائلا أأصعد على الفلسطينيين فتدفعهم ليدي. فقال له الرب اصعد فادفعهم ليدك.
10David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”
11فصعدوا الى بعل فراصيم وضربهم داود هناك. وقال داود قد اقتحم الله اعدائي بيدي كاقتحام المياه. لذلك دعوا اسم ذلك الموضع بعل فراصيم.
11So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
12وتركوا هناك آلهتهم فامر داود فأحرقت بالنار.
12They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13ثم عاد الفلسطينيون ايضا وانتشروا في الوادي.
13The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
14فسأل ايضا داود من الله فقال له الله لا تصعد وراءهم تحوّل عنهم وهلم عليهم مقابل اشجار البكا.
14David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry trees.
15وعندما تسمع صوت خطوات في رؤوس اشجار البكا فاخرج حينئذ للحرب لان الله يخرج امامك لضرب محلّة الفلسطينيين.
15It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
16ففعل داود كما امره الله وضربوا محلّة الفلسطينيين من جبعون الى جازر
16David did as God commanded him: and they struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17وخرج اسم داود الى جميع الاراضي وجعل الرب هيبته على جميع الامم
17The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
