اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 14

١ 1 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ مَرِضَ أَبِيَّا بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ.

In that tyme Abia, sone of Jeroboam, was sijk.

٢ 2 فَقَالَ يَرُبْعَامُ لِٱمْرَأَتِهِ: «قُومِي غَيِّرِي شَكْلَكِ حَتَّى لَا يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّكِ ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ وَٱذْهَبِي إِلَى شِيلُوهَ. هُوَذَا هُنَاكَ أَخِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ عَنِّي إِنِّي أَمْلِكُ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ.

And Jeroboam seide to his wijf, Rise thou, and chaunge clothing, that thou be not knowun, that thou art the wijf of Jeroboam; and go thou in to Silo, where Ahia, the prophete, is, which spak to me, that Y schulde regne on this puple.

٣ 3 وَخُذِي بِيَدِكِ عَشْرَةَ أَرْغِفَةٍ وَكَعْكًا وَجَرَّةَ عَسَلٍ، وَسِيرِي إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُخْبِرُكِ مَاذَا يَكُونُ لِلْغُلَامِ».

Also take thou in the hond ten looues, and a cake, and a vessil of hony, and go thou to hym; for he schal schewe to thee, what schal bifalle to this child.

٤ 4 فَفَعَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ هَكَذَا، وَقَامَتْ وَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى شِيلُوهَ وَدَخَلَتْ بَيْتَ أَخِيَّا. وَكَانَ أَخِيَّا لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُبْصِرَ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِسَبَبِ شَيْخُوخَتِهِ.

The wijf of Jeroboam dide as he seide, and sche roos, and yede in to Silo, and cam in to the hows of Ahia; and he miyte not se, for hise iyen dasewiden for eelde.

٥ 5 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَخِيَّا: «هُوَذَا ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ آتِيَةٌ لِتَسْأَلَ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱبْنِهَا لِأَنَّهُ مَرِيضٌ. فَقُلْ لَهَا: كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَإِنَّهَا عِنْدَ دُخُولِهَا تَتَنَكَّرُ».

Forsothe the Lord seide to Ahia, Lo! the wijf of Jeroboam entrith, that sche counsele thee on hir sone, which is sijk; thou schalt speke these and these thingis to hir. Therfor whanne sche hadde entrid, and hadde feyned hir silf to be that `womman which sche was not,

٦ 6 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَخِيَّا حِسَّ رِجْلَيْهَا وَهِيَ دَاخِلَةٌ فِي ٱلْبَابِ قَالَ: «ٱدْخُلِي يَا ٱمْرَأَةَ يَرُبْعَامَ. لِمَاذَا تَتَنَكَّرِينَ وَأَنَا مُرْسَلٌ إِلَيْكِ بِقَوْلٍ قَاسٍ؟

Ahia herde the soune of the feet of hir entrynge bi the dore, and he seide, Entre thou, the wijf of Jeroboam; whi feynest thou thee to bee an other womman? Forsothe Y am sent an hard messanger to thee.

٧ 7 اِذْهَبِي قُولِي لِيَرُبْعَامَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي قَدْ رَفَعْتُكَ مِنْ وَسْطِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَجَعَلْتُكَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،

Go thou, and seie to Jeroboam, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, For Y enhaunside thee fro the myddis of the puple, and Y yaf thee duyk on my puple Israel,

٨ 8 وَشَقَقْتُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَأَعْطَيْتُكَ إِيَّاهَا، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ كَعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ ٱلَّذِي حَفِظَ وَصَايَايَ وَٱلَّذِي سَارَ وَرَائِي بِكُلِّ قَلْبِهِ لِيَفْعَلَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فَقَطْ فِي عَيْنَيَّ،

and Y kittide the rewme of the hows of Dauid, and Y yaf it to thee, and thou were not as my seruaunt Dauid, that kepte myn heestis, and suede me in al his herte, and dide that that was plesaunt in my siyt;

٩ 9 وَقَدْ سَاءَ عَمَلُكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلَكَ، فَسِرْتَ وَعَمِلْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَمَسْبُوكَاتٍ لِتُغِيظَنِي، وَقَدْ طَرَحْتَنِي وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِكَ.

but thou wrouytist yuel, ouer alle men that weren bifore thee, and madist to thee alien goddis, and wellid to gidere, that thou schuldist excite me to wrathfulnesse, sotheli thou hast cast forth me bihyndis thi bak.

١٠ 10 لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرًّا عَلَى بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَأَقْطَعُ لِيَرُبْعَامَ كُلَّ بَائِلٍ بِحَائِطٍ مَحْجُوزًا وَمُطْلَقًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنْزِعُ آخِرَ بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ كَمَا يُنْزَعُ ٱلْبَعْرُ حَتَّى يَفْنَى.

Therfor lo! Y schal brynge in yuels on the hows of Jeroboam, and Y schal smyte of Jeroboam `til to a pissere to the wal, and prisoned, and the laste in Israel; and Y schal clense the relikis of the hows of Jeroboam, as dung is wont to be clensid `til to the purete, `ether clennesse;

١١ 11 مَنْ مَاتَ لِيَرُبْعَامَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تَأْكُلُهُ ٱلْكِلَابُ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ تَأْكُلُهُ طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمَ.

sotheli doggis schulen ete hem, that schulen die of the hows of Jeroboam in citee; forsothe briddis of the eyr schulen deuoure hem, that schulen die in the feeld; for the Lord spak.

١٢ 12 وَأَنْتِ فَقُومِي وَٱنْطَلِقِي إِلَى بَيْتِكِ، وَعِنْدَ دُخُولِ رِجْلَيْكِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ يَمُوتُ ٱلْوَلَدُ،

Therfor rise thou, and go in to thin hows; and in thilke entryng of thi feet in to the citee the child schal die.

١٣ 13 وَيَنْدُبُهُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَدْفِنُونَهُ، لِأَنَّ هَذَا وَحْدَهُ مِنْ يَرُبْعَامَ يَدْخُلُ ٱلْقَبْرَ، لِأَنَّهُ وُجِدَ فِيهِ أَمْرٌ صَالِحٌ نَحْوَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ.

And al Israel schal biweile him, and schal birie; for this child aloone of Jeroboam schal be borun in to sepulcre, for a good word is foundun on hym of the Lord God of Israel, in the hows of Jeroboam.

١٤ 14 وَيُقِيمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقْرِضُ بَيْتَ يَرُبْعَامَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ. وَمَاذَا؟ اَلْآنَ أَيْضًا!

Forsothe the Lord schal ordeyne to hym a kyng on Israel, that schal smyte the hows of Jeroboam, in this dai and in this tyme;

١٥ 15 وَيَضْرِبُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَٱهْتِزَازِ ٱلْقَصَبِ فِي ٱلْمَاءِ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ، وَيُبَدِّدُهُمْ إِلَى عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا سَوَارِيَهُمْ وَأَغَاظُوا ٱلرَّبَّ.

and the Lord God of Israel schal smyte, as a reed in the water is wont to be mouyd; and he schal drawe out Israel fro this good lond, which he yaf to her fadris, and he schal wyndewe hem ouer the flood, for thei maden to hem woodis, that thei schulden terre the Lord to ire.

١٦ 16 وَيَدْفَعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْطَأَ وَجَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ».

And the Lord God schal bitake Israel to hise enemyes, for the synnes of Jeroboam, that synnede, and made Israel to do synne.

١٧ 17 فَقَامَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ وَذَهَبَتْ وَجَاءَتْ إِلَى تِرْصَةَ، وَلَمَّا وَصَلَتْ إِلَى عَتَبَةِ ٱلْبَابِ مَاتَ ٱلْغُلَامُ،

Therfor the wijf of Jeroboam roos, and yede, and cam in to Thersa; whanne sche entride in to the threschfold of the hows, the child was deed.

١٨ 18 فَدَفَنَهُ وَنَدَبَهُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ أَخِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيِّ.

And thei birieden hym; and al Israel biweilide hym, bi the word of the Lord, which he spak in the hoond of his seruaunt, Ahia the prophet.

١٩ 19 وَأَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَرُبْعَامَ، كَيْفَ حَارَبَ وَكَيْفَ مَلَكَ، فَإِنَّهَا مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Forsothe, lo! the residue of wordis of Jeroboam, how he fauyt, and how he regnede, ben writun in the book of wordis of the daies of kyngis of Israel.

٢٠ 20 وَٱلزَّمَانُ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فِيهِ يَرُبْعَامُ هُوَ ٱثْنَتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَمَلَكَ نَادَابُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

Forsothe the daies, in whiche Jeroboam regnede, ben two and twenti yeer; and Jeroboam slepte with hise fadris, and Nadab, his sone, regnede for hym.

٢١ 21 وَأَمَّا رَحُبْعَامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ فَمَلَكَ فِي يَهُوذَا. وَكَانَ رَحُبْعَامُ ٱبْنَ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَارَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ لِوَضْعِ ٱسْمِهِ فِيهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ نِعْمَةُ ٱلْعَمُّونِيَّةُ.

٢٢ 22 وَعَمِلَ يَهُوذَا ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَغَارُوهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَا عَمِلَ آبَاؤُهُمْ بِخَطَايَاهُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأُوا بِهَا.

And Juda dide yuel bifor the Lord, and thei terriden hym to ire on alle thingis, whiche her fadris diden in her synnes, bi whiche thei synneden.

٢٣ 23 وَبَنَوْا هُمْ أَيْضًا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ وَأَنْصَابًا وَسَوَارِيَ عَلَى كُلِّ تَلٍّ مُرْتَفِعٍ وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ.

For also thei bildiden to hem silf auters, and ymagis, and wodis, on eche hiy hil, and vndur ech tree ful of bowis.

٢٤ 24 وَكَانَ أَيْضًا مَأْبُونُونَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَعَلُوا حَسَبَ كُلِّ أَرْجَاسِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

But also `men of wymmens condiciouns weren in the lond, and thei diden alle abhominaciouns of hethene men, whiche the Lord al to-brak bifor the face of the sones of Israel.

٢٥ 25 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةِ لِلْمَلِكِ رَحُبْعَامَ، صَعِدَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،

Forsothe in the fifthe yeer of the rewme of Roboam, Sesach, the kyng of Egipt, styede in to Jerusalem;

٢٦ 26 وَأَخَذَ خَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَخَذَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ. وَأَخَذَ جَمِيعَ أَتْرَاسِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ.

and he took the tresouris of the hows of the Lord, and the kyngis tresouris, and he rauischide alle thingis; also `he rauischide the goldun scheeldis, whiche Salomon made.

٢٧ 27 فَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ عِوَضًا عَنْهَا أَتْرَاسَ نُحَاسٍ وَسَلَّمَهَا لِيَدِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ ٱلْحَافِظِينَ بَابَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

٢٨ 28 وَكَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَحْمِلُهَا ٱلسُّعَاةُ، ثُمَّ يُرْجِعُونَهَا إِلَى غُرْفَةِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ.

And whanne the kyng entride in to the hows of the Lord, thei that hadden office to go bifore, baren tho, and baren ayen to the place of armer of scheeld makeris.

٢٩ 29 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ رَحُبْعَامَ وَكُلُّ مَا فَعَلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

And batel was bitwixe Roboam and Jeroboam, in alle daies.

٣١ 31 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ رَحُبْعَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ. وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ نِعْمَةُ ٱلْعَمُّونِيَّةُ. وَمَلَكَ أَبِيَامُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Roboam slepte with hise fadris, and was biried with hem in the citee of Dauid. Forsothe the name of his modir was Naama Amanyte; and Abia, his sone, regnede for hym.
