اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 18
| وَبَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِيلِيَّا فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ قَائِلًا: «ٱذْهَبْ وَتَرَاءَ لِأَخْآبَ فَأُعْطِيَ مَطَرًا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١ 1 |
After many dayes, the worde of the Lord came to Eliiah, in the third yeere, saying, Goe, shewe thy selfe vnto Ahab, and I will sende rayne vpon the earth.
| فَذَهَبَ إِيلِيَّا لِيَتَرَاءَى لِأَخْآبَ. وَكَانَ ٱلْجُوعُ شَدِيدًا فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، | ٢ 2 |
And Eliiah went to shew himselfe vnto Ahab, and there was a great famine in Samaria.
| فَدَعَا أَخْآبُ عُوبَدْيَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَكَانَ عُوبَدْيَا يَخْشَى ٱلرَّبَّ جِدًّا. | ٣ 3 |
And Ahab called Obadiah the gouernour of his house: (and Obadiah feared God greatly:
| وَكَانَ حِينَمَا قَطَعَتْ إِيزَابَلُ أَنْبِيَاءَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّ عُوبَدْيَا أَخَذَ مِئَةَ نَبِيٍّ وَخَبَّأَهُمْ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا فِي مُغَارَةٍ وَعَالَهُمْ بِخُبْزٍ وَمَاءٍ. | ٤ 4 |
For when Iezebel destroyed the Prophets of the Lord, Obadiah tooke an hundreth Prophets, and hid them, by fiftie in a caue, and he fed them with bread and water.)
| وَقَالَ أَخْآبُ لِعُوبَدْيَا: «ٱذْهَبْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ عُيُونِ ٱلْمَاءِ وَإِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ، لَعَلَّنَا نَجِدُ عُشْبًا فَنُحْيِيَ ٱلْخَيْلَ وَٱلْبِغَالَ وَلَا نُعْدَمَ ٱلْبَهَائِمَ كُلَّهَا». | ٥ 5 |
And Ahab saide vnto Obadiah, Goe into the land, vnto all the fountaines of water, and vnto all the riuers, if so be that we may finde grasse to saue the horses and the mules aliue, lest we depriue the lande of the beastes.
| فَقَسَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْأَرْضَ لِيَعْبُرَا بِهَا. فَذَهَبَ أَخْآبُ فِي طَرِيقٍ وَاحِدٍ وَحْدَهُ، وَذَهَبَ عُوبَدْيَا فِي طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ وَحْدَهُ. | ٦ 6 |
And so they deuided the lande betweene them to walke thorowe it. Ahab went one way by him selfe, and Obadiah went another way by him selfe.
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ عُوبَدْيَا فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، إِذَا بِإِيلِيَّا قَدْ لَقِيَهُ فَعَرَفَهُ، وَخَرَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ: «أَأَنْتَ هُوَ سَيِّدِي إِيلِيَّا؟» | ٧ 7 |
And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Eliiah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art not thou my lord Eliiah?
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا هُوَ. ٱذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِسَيِّدِكَ: هُوَذَا إِيلِيَّا». | ٨ 8 |
And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here.
| فَقَالَ: «مَا هِيَ خَطِيَّتِي حَتَّى إِنَّكَ تَدْفَعُ عَبْدَكَ لِيَدِ أَخْآبَ لِيُمِيتَنِي؟ | ٩ 9 |
And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me?
| حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، إِنَّهُ لَا تُوجَدُ أُمَّةٌ وَلَا مَمْلَكَةٌ لَمْ يُرْسِلْ سَيِّدِي إِلَيْهَا لِيُفَتِّشَ عَلَيْكَ، وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّهُ لَا يُوجَدُ. وَكَانَ يَسْتَحْلِفُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ وَٱلْأُمَّةَ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
As the Lord thy God liueth, there is no nation or kingdome, whither my lorde hath not sent to seeke thee: and when they sayd, He is not here, he tooke an othe of the kingdome and nation, if they had not found thee.
| وَٱلْآنَ أَنْتَ تَقُولُ: ٱذْهَبْ قُلْ لِسَيِّدِكَ هُوَذَا إِيلِيَّا. | ١١ 11 |
And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here.
| وَيَكُونُ إِذَا ٱنْطَلَقْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، أَنَّ رُوحَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَحْمِلُكَ إِلَى حَيْثُ لَا أَعْلَمُ. فَإِذَا أَتَيْتُ وَأَخْبَرْتُ أَخْآبَ وَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْتُلُنِي، وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ أَخْشَى ٱلرَّبَّ مُنْذُ صِبَايَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord shall cary thee into some place that I doe not know: so when I come and tell Ahab, if he cannot finde thee, then wil he kill me: But I thy seruant feare the Lord from my youth.
| أَلَمْ يُخْبَرْ سَيِّدِي بِمَا فَعَلْتُ حِينَ قَتَلَتْ إِيزَابَلُ أَنْبِيَاءَ ٱلرَّبِّ، إِذْ خَبَّأْتُ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِئَةَ رَجُلٍ، خَمْسِينَ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا فِي مُغَارَةٍ وَعُلْتُهُمْ بِخُبْزٍ وَمَاءٍ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Was it not tolde my lord, what I did when Iezebel slew the Prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundreth men of the Lordes Prophets by fifties in a caue, and fed them with bread and water?
| وَأَنْتَ ٱلْآنَ تَقُولُ: ٱذْهَبْ قُلْ لِسَيِّدِكَ: هُوَذَا إِيلِيَّا، فَيَقْتُلُنِي». | ١٤ 14 |
And now thou sayest, Go, tel thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here, that he may slay me.
| فَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا: «حَيٌّ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا وَاقِفٌ أَمَامَهُ، إِنِّي ٱلْيَوْمَ أَتَرَاءَى لَهُ». | ١٥ 15 |
And Eliiah said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, before whome I stand, I will surely shewe my selfe vnto him this day.
| فَذَهَبَ عُوبَدْيَا لِلِقَاءِ أَخْآبَ وَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَسَارَ أَخْآبُ لِلِقَاءِ إِيلِيَّا. | ١٦ 16 |
So Obadiah went to meete Ahab, and tolde him: And Ahab went to meete Eliiah.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَخْآبُ إِيلِيَّا قَالَ لَهُ أَخْآبُ: «أَأَنْتَ هُوَ مُكَدِّرُ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» | ١٧ 17 |
And when Ahab saw Eliiah, Ahab said vnto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
| فَقَالَ: «لَمْ أُكَدِّرْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَلْ أَنْتَ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيكَ بِتَرْكِكُمْ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ وَبِسَيْرِكَ وَرَاءَ ٱلْبَعْلِيمِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And he answered, I haue not troubled Israel, but thou, and thy fathers house, in that ye haue forsaken the commandements of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.
| فَٱلْآنَ أَرْسِلْ وَٱجْمَعْ إِلَيَّ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلْكَرْمَلِ، وَأَنْبِيَاءَ ٱلْبَعْلِ أَرْبَعَ ٱلْمِئَةِ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ، وَأَنْبِيَاءَ ٱلسَّوَارِي أَرْبَعَ ٱلْمِئَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ إِيزَابَلَ». | ١٩ 19 |
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel vnto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal foure hundreth and fiftie, and the prophets of the groues foure hundreth, which eate at Iezebels table.
| فَأَرْسَلَ أَخْآبُ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَجَمَعَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلْكَرْمَلِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
So Ahab sent vnto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together vnto mount Carmel.
| فَتَقَدَّمَ إِيلِيَّا إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالَ: «حَتَّى مَتَى تَعْرُجُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلْفِرْقَتَيْنِ؟ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ ٱللهَ فَٱتَّبِعُوهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْبَعْلُ فَٱتَّبِعُوهُ». فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ٱلشَّعْبُ بِكَلِمَةٍ. | ٢١ 21 |
And Eliiah came vnto all the people, and said, How long halt ye betweene two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal be he, then goe after him. And the people answered him not a worde.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِلشَّعْبِ: «أَنَا بَقِيتُ نَبِيًّا لِلرَّبِّ وَحْدِي، وَأَنْبِيَاءُ ٱلْبَعْلِ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسُونَ رَجُلًا. | ٢٢ 22 |
Then said Eliiah vnto the people, I onely remayne a Prophet of the Lord: but Baals prophets are foure hundreth and fiftie men.
| فَلْيُعْطُونَا ثَوْرَيْنِ، فَيَخْتَارُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثَوْرًا وَاحِدًا وَيُقَطِّعُوهُ وَيَضَعُوهُ عَلَى ٱلْحَطَبِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا يَضَعُوا نَارًا. وَأَنَا أُقَرِّبُ ٱلثَّوْرَ ٱلْآخَرَ وَأَجْعَلُهُ عَلَى ٱلْحَطَبِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا أَضَعُ نَارًا. | ٢٣ 23 |
Let them therefore giue vs two bullockes, and let them chuse the one, and cut him in pieces, and lay him on the wood, but put no fire vnder, and I will prepare the other bullocke, and lay him on the wood, and will put no fire vnder.
| ثُمَّ تَدْعُونَ بِٱسْمِ آلِهَتِكُمْ وَأَنَا أَدْعُو بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُجِيبُ بِنَارٍ فَهُوَ ٱللهُ». فَأَجَابَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالُوا: «ٱلْكَلَامُ حَسَنٌ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Then call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and then the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered, and sayde, It is well spoken.
| فَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلْبَعْلِ: «ٱخْتَارُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ ثَوْرًا وَاحِدًا وَقَرِّبُوا أَوَّلًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلْأَكْثَرُ، وَٱدْعُوا بِٱسْمِ آلِهَتِكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَضَعُوا نَارًا». | ٢٥ 25 |
And Eliiah said vnto the prophets of Baal, Chuse you a bullocke, and prepare him first, (for ye are many) and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire vnder.
| فَأَخَذُوا ٱلثَّوْرَ ٱلَّذِي أُعْطِيَ لَهُمْ وَقَرَّبُوهُ، وَدَعَوْا بِٱسْمِ ٱلْبَعْلِ مِنَ ٱلصَّبَاحِ إِلَى ٱلظُّهْرِ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا بَعْلُ أَجِبْنَا». فَلَمْ يَكُنْ صَوْتٌ وَلَا مُجِيبٌ. وَكَانُوا يَرْقُصُونَ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلَّذِي عُمِلَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
So they tooke the one bullocke, that was giuen them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal, from morning to noone, saying, O Baal, heare vs: but there was no voyce, nor any to answere: and they leapt vpon the altar that was made.
| وَعِنْدَ ٱلظُّهْرِ سَخِرَ بِهِمْ إِيلِيَّا وَقَالَ: «ٱدْعُوا بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ لِأَنَّهُ إِلَهٌ! لَعَلَّهُ مُسْتَغْرِقٌ أَوْ فِي خَلْوَةٍ أَوْ فِي سَفَرٍ! أَوْ لَعَلَّهُ نَائِمٌ فَيَتَنَبَّهَ!» | ٢٧ 27 |
And at noone Eliiah mocked them, and said, Crye loude: for he is a god: either he talketh or pursueth his enemies, or is in his iourney, or it may be that he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
| فَصَرَخُوا بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ، وَتَقَطَّعُوا حَسَبَ عَادَتِهِمْ بِٱلسُّيُوفِ وَٱلرِّمَاحِ حَتَّى سَالَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلدَّمُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And they cryed loude, and cut them selues as their maner was, with kniues and launcers, till the blood gushed out vpon them.
| وَلَمَّا جَازَ ٱلظُّهْرُ، وَتَنَبَّأُوا إِلَى حِينِ إِصْعَادِ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ صَوْتٌ وَلَا مُجِيبٌ وَلَا مُصْغٍ، | ٢٩ 29 |
And when midday was passed, and they had prophecied vntil the offring of the euening sacrifice, there was neither voyce, nor one to answere, nor any that regarded.
| قَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيَّ». فَتَقَدَّمَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَيْهِ. فَرَمَّمَ مَذْبَحَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْمُنْهَدِمَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And Eliiah said vnto all the people, Come to me. And all the people came to him. And he repayred the altar of the Lord that was broken downe.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ إِيلِيَّا ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ حَجَرًا، بِعَدَدِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلًا: «إِسْرَائِيلَ يَكُونُ ٱسْمُكَ» | ٣١ 31 |
And Eliiah tooke twelue stones, according to the nomber of the tribes of the sonnes of Iaakob, (vnto whome the worde of the Lord came, saying, Israel shalbe thy name)
| وَبَنَى ٱلْحِجَارَةَ مَذْبَحًا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَعَمِلَ قَنَاةً حَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ تَسَعُ كَيْلَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْبَزْرِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And with the stones he buylt an altar in the Name of the Lord: and he made a ditch round about the altar, as great as woulde conteine two measures of seede.
| ثُمَّ رَتَّبَ ٱلْحَطَبَ وَقَطَّعَ ٱلثَّوْرَ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى ٱلْحَطَبِ، وَقَالَ: «ٱمْلَأُوا أَرْبَعَ جَرَّاتٍ مَاءً وَصُبُّوا عَلَى ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ وَعَلَى ٱلْحَطَبِ». | ٣٣ 33 |
And he put the wood in order, and hewed the bullocke in pieces, and layd him on the wood,
| ثُمَّ قَالَ: «ثَنُّوا» فَثَنَّوْا. وَقَالَ: «ثَلِّثُوا» فَثَلَّثُوا. | ٣٤ 34 |
And said, Fill foure barrels with water, and powre it on the burnt offring and on the wood. Againe he said, Doe so againe. And they did so the second time. And he sayde, Doe it the third time. And they did it the third time.
| فَجَرَى ٱلْمَاءُ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلْقَنَاةُ أَيْضًا مَاءً. | ٣٥ 35 |
And the water ran round about the altar: and he filled the ditch with water also.
| وَكَانَ عِنْدَ إِصْعَادِ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ أَنَّ إِيلِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيَّ تَقَدَّمَ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيُعْلَمِ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱللهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنِّي أَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَبِأَمْرِكَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
And when they should offer the euening sacrifice, Eliiah the Prophet came, and sayd, Lord God of Abraham, Izhak and of Israel, let it be knowen this day, that thou art the God of Israel, and that I am thy seruant, and that I haue done all these things at thy commandement.
| ٱسْتَجِبْنِي يَارَبُّ ٱسْتَجِبْنِي، لِيَعْلَمَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ، وَأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ حَوَّلْتَ قُلُوبَهُمْ رُجُوعًا». | ٣٧ 37 |
Heare me, O Lord, heare me, and let this people know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart againe at the last.
| فَسَقَطَتْ نَارُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةَ وَٱلْحَطَبَ وَٱلْحِجَارَةَ وَٱلتُّرَابَ، وَلَحَسَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهَ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْقَنَاةِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt offring, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked vp the water that was in the ditche.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ذَلِكَ سَقَطُوا عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ وَقَالُوا: «ٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ ٱللهُ! ٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ ٱللهُ!». | ٣٩ 39 |
And when all the people sawe it, they fell on their faces, and saide, The Lord is God, the Lord is God.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِيلِيَّا: «أَمْسِكُوا أَنْبِيَاءَ ٱلْبَعْلِ وَلَا يُفْلِتْ مِنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ». فَأَمْسَكُوهُمْ، فَنَزَلَ بِهِمْ إِيلِيَّا إِلَى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ وَذَبَحَهُمْ هُنَاكَ. | ٤٠ 40 |
And Elijah said vnto them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not a man of them escape. and they tooke them, and Eliiah brought them to the brooke Kishon, and slewe them there.
| وَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِأَخْآبَ: «ٱصْعَدْ كُلْ وَٱشْرَبْ، لِأَنَّهُ حِسُّ دَوِيِّ مَطَرٍ». | ٤١ 41 |
And Eliiah sayde vnto Ahab, Get thee vp, eate and drinke, for there is a sound of much rayne.
| فَصَعِدَ أَخْآبُ لِيَأْكُلَ وَيَشْرَبَ، وَأَمَّا إِيلِيَّا فَصَعِدَ إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْكَرْمَلِ وَخَرَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَجَعَلَ وَجْهَهُ بَيْنَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
So Ahab went vp to eate and to drinke, and Eliiah went vp to the top of Carmel: and he crouched vnto the earth, and put his face betweene his knees,
| وَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ: «ٱصْعَدْ تَطَلَّعْ نَحْوَ ٱلْبَحْرِ». فَصَعِدَ وَتَطَلَّعَ وَقَالَ: «لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ». فَقَالَ: «ٱرْجِعْ» سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ. | ٤٣ 43 |
And sayde to his seruant, Goe vp now and looke towarde the way of the Sea. And he went vp, and looked, and sayde, There is nothing. Againe he sayd, Goe againe seuen times.
| وَفِي ٱلْمَرَّةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ قَالَ: «هُوَذَا غَيْمَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ قَدْرُ كَفِّ إِنْسَانٍ صَاعِدَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ». فَقَالَ: «ٱصْعَدْ قُلْ لِأَخْآبَ: ٱشْدُدْ وَٱنْزِلْ لِئَلَّا يَمْنَعَكَ ٱلْمَطَرُ». | ٤٤ 44 |
And at the seuenth time he sayd, Behold, there ariseth a litle cloude out of the sea like a mans hand. Then he sayd, Vp, and say vnto Ahab, Make readie thy charet, and get thee downe, that the raine stay thee not.
| وَكَانَ مِنْ هُنَا إِلَى هُنَا أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ ٱسْوَدَّتْ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْمِ وَٱلرِّيحِ، وَكَانَ مَطَرٌ عَظِيمٌ. فَرَكِبَ أَخْآبُ وَمَضَى إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ. | ٤٥ 45 |
And in the meane while the heauen was blacke with cloudes and winde, and there was a great rayne. Then Ahab went vp and came to Izreel.
| وَكَانَتْ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِيلِيَّا، فَشَدَّ حَقْوَيْهِ وَرَكَضَ أَمَامَ أَخْآبَ حَتَّى تَجِيءَ إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ. | ٤٦ 46 |
And the hand of the Lord was on Eliiah, and he girded vp his Ioynes, and ran before Ahab till he came to Izreel.
