اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 16
| وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى يَاهُو بْنِ حَنَانِي عَلَى بَعْشَا قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
The word of Yahweh 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 |
“Although I exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, so as to provoke me to anger with their sins.
| هَأَنَذَا أَنْزِعُ نَسْلَ بَعْشَا وَنَسْلَ بَيْتِهِ، وَأَجْعَلُ بَيْتَكَ كَبَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ. | ٣ 3 |
See, I will completely sweep away Baasha and his family and I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
| فَمَنْ مَاتَ لِبَعْشَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تَأْكُلُهُ ٱلْكِلَابُ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ تَأْكُلُهُ طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ». | ٤ 4 |
The dogs will eat anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat anyone who dies in the fields.”
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ بَعْشَا وَمَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٥ 5 |
As for the other matters concerning Baasha, what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
| وَٱضْطَجَعَ بَعْشَا مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي تِرْصَةَ، وَمَلَكَ أَيْلَةُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٦ 6 |
Baasha slept with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son became king 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 |
So by the prophet Jehu son of Hanani the word of Yahweh came against Baasha and his family, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, so as to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, like the family of Jeroboam, and also because he had killed all of Jeroboam's family.
| 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 king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah; he reigned two years.
| فَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُهُ زِمْرِي رَئِيسُ نِصْفِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ، وَهُوَ فِي تِرْصَةَ يَشْرَبُ وَيَسْكَرُ فِي بَيْتِ أَرْصَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ فِي تِرْصَةَ. | ٩ 9 |
His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now Elah was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.
| فَدَخَلَ زِمْرِي وَضَرَبَهُ، فَقَتَلَهُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَمَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Zimri went in, attacked him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became king in his place.
| وَعِنْدَ تَمَلُّكِهِ وَجُلُوسِهِ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ ضَرَبَ كُلَّ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ لَهُ بَائِلًا بِحَائِطٍ، مَعَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
When Zimri began to reign and was seated on his throne, he killed all the family of Baasha. He did not leave alive a single male belonging to Baasha's relatives or friends.
| فَأَفْنَى زِمْرِي كُلَّ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَى بَعْشَا عَنْ يَدِ يَاهُو ٱلنَّبِيِّ، | ١٢ 12 |
So Zimri destroyed all the family of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
| لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ خَطَايَا بَعْشَا، وَخَطَايَا أَيْلَةَ ٱبْنِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَا بِهَا، وَجَعَلَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَبَاطِيلِهِمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son that they committed, and by which they had led Israel to sin, so that they provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their idols.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَيْلَةَ وَكُلُّ مَا فَعَلَ، أَمَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ١٤ 14 |
As for the other matters concerning Elah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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 king of Judah, Zimri reigned only for seven days in Tirzah. Now the army was camped by Gibbethon, which belonged to 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 |
The army camped there heard it said, “Zimri has plotted and has killed the king.” So that day in the camp, all Israel declared Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel.
| وَصَعِدَ عُمْرِي وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ جِبَّثُونَ وَحَاصَرُوا تِرْصَةَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Omri went up from Gibbethon and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى زِمْرِي أَنَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ قَدْ أُخِذَتْ، دَخَلَ إِلَى قَصْرِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَحْرَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَمَاتَ | ١٨ 18 |
So when Zimri saw that the city had been taken, he went into the fortress attached to the king's palace and set fire to the building over him; in this way he died in the flames.
| 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 |
This was for the sins that he had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, by walking in the way of Jeroboam and in the sin that he had committed, so as to lead Israel to sin.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ زِمْرِي وَفِتْنَتُهُ ٱلَّتِي فَتَنَهَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
As for the other matters concerning Zimri, and the treason that he carried out, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
| حِينَئِذٍ ٱنْقَسَمَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نِصْفَيْنِ، فَنِصْفُ ٱلشَّعْبِ كَانَ وَرَاءَ تِبْنِي بْنِ جِينَةَ لِتَمْلِيكِهِ، وَنِصْفُهُ وَرَاءَ عُمْرِي. | ٢١ 21 |
Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts. Half of the people followed Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.
| وَقَوِيَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي وَرَاءَ عُمْرِي عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي وَرَاءَ تِبْنِي بْنِ جِينَةَ، فَمَاتَ تِبْنِي وَمَلَكَ عُمْرِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
But the people who followed Omri were stronger than the people who followed 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 |
Omri began to reign over Israel in the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years. He reigned from Tirzah for six years.
| 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. He built a city on the hill and called the name of the city Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the past owner of the hill.
| وَعَمِلَ عُمْرِي ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَسَاءَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and acted more wickedly than all who had been 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 by which he led Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to be angry 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 other matters concerning Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
| وَٱضْطَجَعَ عُمْرِي مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَمَلَكَ أَخْآبُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
So Omri slept with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria and Ahab his son became king 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 king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
| وَعَمِلَ أَخْآبُ بْنُ عُمْرِي ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Ahab son of Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, more than all those 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 |
It was to Ahab a trivial thing to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, so he took as his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; he went and worshiped Baal and bowed down to him.
| وَأَقَامَ مَذْبَحًا لِلْبَعْلِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
He built an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which 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 |
Ahab made an Asherah pole. Ahab did even more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who had been 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 |
During Ahab's rule, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. Hiel laid the foundation of the city at the cost of the life of Abiram, his firstborn son; and Segub, his youngest son, lost his life while he was building the gates of the city, in keeping with the word of Yahweh which he spoke by Joshua son of Nun.
