اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 16
| وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى يَاهُو بْنِ حَنَانِي عَلَى بَعْشَا قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying:
| «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي قَدْ رَفَعْتُكَ مِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ وَجَعَلْتُكَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَسِرْتَ فِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَجَعَلْتَ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُونَ وَيُغِيظُونَنِي بِخَطَايَاهُمْ | ٢ 2 |
“Even though I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have caused My people Israel to sin and to provoke Me to anger by their sins.
| هَأَنَذَا أَنْزِعُ نَسْلَ بَعْشَا وَنَسْلَ بَيْتِهِ، وَأَجْعَلُ بَيْتَكَ كَبَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ. | ٣ 3 |
So now I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat:
| فَمَنْ مَاتَ لِبَعْشَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تَأْكُلُهُ ٱلْكِلَابُ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ تَأْكُلُهُ طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ». | ٤ 4 |
Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ بَعْشَا وَمَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٥ 5 |
As for the rest of the acts of Baasha, along with his accomplishments and might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
| وَٱضْطَجَعَ بَعْشَا مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي تِرْصَةَ، وَمَلَكَ أَيْلَةُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٦ 6 |
And Baasha rested with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah, and his son Elah reigned in his place.
| وَأَيْضًا عَنْ يَدِ يَاهُو بْنِ حَنَانِي ٱلنَّبِيِّ كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى بَعْشَا وَعَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِإِغَاظَتِهِ إِيَّاهُ بِعَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ، وَكَوْنِهِ كَبَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَلِأَجْلِ قَتْلِهِ إِيَّاهُ. | ٧ 7 |
Moreover, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands and becoming like the house of Jeroboam, and also because Baasha had struck down the house of Jeroboam.
| وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ أَيْلَةُ بْنُ بَعْشَا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تِرْصَةَ سَنَتَيْنِ. | ٨ 8 |
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years.
| فَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُهُ زِمْرِي رَئِيسُ نِصْفِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ، وَهُوَ فِي تِرْصَةَ يَشْرَبُ وَيَسْكَرُ فِي بَيْتِ أَرْصَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ فِي تِرْصَةَ. | ٩ 9 |
However, while Elah was in Tirzah getting drunk in the house of Arza the steward of his household there, Elah’s servant Zimri, the commander of half his chariots, conspired against him.
| فَدَخَلَ زِمْرِي وَضَرَبَهُ، فَقَتَلَهُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَمَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
So in the twenty-seventh year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri went in, struck Elah down, and killed him. And Zimri reigned in his place.
| وَعِنْدَ تَمَلُّكِهِ وَجُلُوسِهِ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ ضَرَبَ كُلَّ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ لَهُ بَائِلًا بِحَائِطٍ، مَعَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
As soon as Zimri began to reign and was seated on the throne, he struck down the entire household of Baasha. He did not leave a single male, whether a kinsman or friend.
| فَأَفْنَى زِمْرِي كُلَّ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَى بَعْشَا عَنْ يَدِ يَاهُو ٱلنَّبِيِّ، | ١٢ 12 |
So Zimri destroyed the entire household of Baasha, according to the word that the LORD had spoken against Baasha through Jehu the prophet.
| لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ خَطَايَا بَعْشَا، وَخَطَايَا أَيْلَةَ ٱبْنِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَا بِهَا، وَجَعَلَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَبَاطِيلِهِمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
This happened because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَيْلَةَ وَكُلُّ مَا فَعَلَ، أَمَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ١٤ 14 |
As for the rest of the acts of Elah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
| فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ زِمْرِي سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي تِرْصَةَ. وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ نَازِلًا عَلَى جِبَّثُونَ ٱلَّتِي لِلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ١٥ 15 |
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah for seven days. Now the troops were encamped against Gibbethon of the Philistines,
| فَسَمِعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلنَّازِلُونَ مَنْ يَقُولُ: «قَدْ فَتَنَ زِمْرِي وَقَتَلَ أَيْضًا ٱلْمَلِكَ». فَمَلَّكَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ عُمْرِيَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْجَيْشِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
and the people in the camp heard that Zimri had not only conspired but had also struck down the king. So there in the camp that very day, all Israel proclaimed Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel.
| وَصَعِدَ عُمْرِي وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ جِبَّثُونَ وَحَاصَرُوا تِرْصَةَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Then Omri and all the Israelites marched up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى زِمْرِي أَنَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ قَدْ أُخِذَتْ، دَخَلَ إِلَى قَصْرِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَحْرَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَمَاتَ | ١٨ 18 |
When Zimri saw that the city was captured, he entered the citadel of the royal palace and burned it down upon himself. So he died
| مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَ بِهَا بِعَمَلِهِ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَيْرِهِ فِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ بِجَعْلِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ. | ١٩ 19 |
because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the sight of the LORD and following the example of Jeroboam and the sin he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ زِمْرِي وَفِتْنَتُهُ ٱلَّتِي فَتَنَهَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
As for the rest of the acts of Zimri and the treason he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
| حِينَئِذٍ ٱنْقَسَمَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نِصْفَيْنِ، فَنِصْفُ ٱلشَّعْبِ كَانَ وَرَاءَ تِبْنِي بْنِ جِينَةَ لِتَمْلِيكِهِ، وَنِصْفُهُ وَرَاءَ عُمْرِي. | ٢١ 21 |
At that time the people of Israel were divided: Half of the people supported Tibni son of Ginath as king, and half supported Omri.
| وَقَوِيَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي وَرَاءَ عُمْرِي عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي وَرَاءَ تِبْنِي بْنِ جِينَةَ، فَمَاتَ تِبْنِي وَمَلَكَ عُمْرِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
But the followers of Omri proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.
| فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ عُمْرِي عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. مَلَكَ فِي تِرْصَةَ سِتَّ سِنِينَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
In the thirty-first year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.
| وَٱشْتَرَى جَبَلَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ مِنْ شَامِرَ بِوَزْنَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَبَنَى عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ. وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي بَنَاهَا بِٱسْمِ شَامِرَ صَاحِبِ ٱلْجَبَلِ «ٱلسَّامِرَةَ». | ٢٤ 24 |
He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver and built a city there, calling it Samaria after the name of Shemer, who had owned the hill.
| وَعَمِلَ عُمْرِي ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَسَاءَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
But Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD and acted more wickedly than all who were before him.
| وَسَارَ فِي جَمِيعِ طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، وَفِي خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَبَاطِيلِهِمْ. | ٢٦ 26 |
For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sins, which he caused Israel to commit, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ عُمْرِي ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ ٱلَّذِي أَبْدَى، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
As for the rest of the acts of Omri, along with his accomplishments and the might he exercised, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
| وَٱضْطَجَعَ عُمْرِي مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَمَلَكَ أَخْآبُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And Omri rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab reigned in his place.
| وَأَخْآبُ بْنُ عُمْرِي مَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَمَلَكَ أَخْآبُ بْنُ عُمْرِي عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. | ٢٩ 29 |
In the thirty-eighth year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twenty-two years.
| وَعَمِلَ أَخْآبُ بْنُ عُمْرِي ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
However, Ahab son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him.
| وَكَأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَمْرًا زَهِيدًا سُلُوكُهُ فِي خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، حَتَّى ٱتَّخَذَ إِيزَابَلَ ٱبْنَةَ أَثْبَعَلَ مَلِكِ ٱلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ ٱمْرَأَةً، وَسَارَ وَعَبَدَ ٱلْبَعْلَ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ. | ٣١ 31 |
And as if it were not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, he even married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and he then proceeded to serve and worship Baal.
| وَأَقَامَ مَذْبَحًا لِلْبَعْلِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
First, Ahab set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria.
| وَعَمِلَ أَخْآبُ سَوَارِيَ، وَزَادَ أَخْآبُ فِي ٱلْعَمَلِ لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلَهُ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Then he set up an Asherah pole. Thus Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel before him.
| فِي أَيَّامِهِ بَنَى حِيئِيلُ ٱلْبَيْتَئِيلِيُّ أَرِيحَا. بِأَبِيرَامَ بِكْرِهِ وَضَعَ أَسَاسَهَا، وَبِسَجُوبَ صَغِيرِهِ نَصَبَ أَبْوَابَهَا، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ يَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونٍ. | ٣٤ 34 |
In Ahab’s days, Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho. At the cost of Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundation, and at the cost of Segub his youngest he set up its gates, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through Joshua son of Nun.
