اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 19
| وَأَخْبَرَ أَخْآبُ إِيزَابَلَ بِكُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ إِيلِيَّا، وَكَيْفَ أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١ 1 |
Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
| فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِيزَابَلُ رَسُولًا إِلَى إِيلِيَّا تَقُولُ: «هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ ٱلْآلِهَةُ وَهَكَذَا تَزِيدُ، إِنْ لَمْ أَجْعَلْ نَفْسَكَ كَنَفْسِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي نَحْوِ هَذَا ٱلْوَقْتِ غَدًا». | ٢ 2 |
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَامَ وَمَضَى لِأَجْلِ نَفْسِهِ، وَأَتَى إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا وَتَرَكَ غُلَامَهُ هُنَاكَ. | ٣ 3 |
And he was afraid, and he got up and fled for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
| ثُمَّ سَارَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمٍ، حَتَّى أَتَى وَجَلَسَ تَحْتَ رَتَمَةٍ وَطَلَبَ ٱلْمَوْتَ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَقَالَ: «قَدْ كَفَى ٱلْآنَ يَارَبُّ. خُذْ نَفْسِي لِأَنَّنِي لَسْتُ خَيْرًا مِنْ آبَائِي». | ٤ 4 |
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough. Now, YHWH, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers."
| وَٱضْطَجَعَ وَنَامَ تَحْتَ ٱلرَّتَمَةِ. وَإِذَا بِمَلَاكٍ قَدْ مَسَّهُ وَقَالَ: «قُمْ وَكُلْ». | ٥ 5 |
He lay down and slept under a broom tree. And look, an angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat."
| فَتَطَلَّعَ وَإِذَا كَعْكَةُ رَضْفٍ وَكُوزُ مَاءٍ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ، فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَٱضْطَجَعَ. | ٦ 6 |
He looked, and look, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.
| ثُمَّ عَادَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ ثَانِيَةً فَمَسَّهُ وَقَالَ: «قُمْ وَكُلْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَسَافَةَ كَثِيرَةٌ عَلَيْكَ». | ٧ 7 |
The angel of YHWH came again the second time, and touched him, and said, "Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you."
| فَقَامَ وَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ، وَسَارَ بِقُوَّةِ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَكْلَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَارًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱللهِ حُورِيبَ، | ٨ 8 |
And he got up and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the Mount of God.
| وَدَخَلَ هُنَاكَ ٱلْمُغَارَةَ وَبَاتَ فِيهَا. وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ يَقُولُ: «مَا لَكَ هَهُنَا يَاإِيلِيَّا؟» | ٩ 9 |
And there he came to a cave and lodged there; and look, the word of YHWH came to him, and he said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
| فَقَالَ: «قَدْ غِرْتُ غَيْرَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ ٱلْجُنُودِ، لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ تَرَكُوا عَهْدَكَ، وَنَقَضُوا مَذَابِحَكَ، وَقَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، فَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي، وَهُمْ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي لِيَأْخُذُوهَا». | ١٠ 10 |
He said, "I have been very jealous for YHWH, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
| فَقَالَ: «ٱخْرُجْ وَقِفْ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ». وَإِذَا بِٱلرَّبِّ عَابِرٌ وَرِيحٌ عَظِيمَةٌ وَشَدِيدَةٌ قَدْ شَقَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَكَسَّرَتِ ٱلصُّخُورَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلرِّيحِ. وَبَعْدَ ٱلرِّيحِ زَلْزَلَةٌ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلزَّلْزَلَةِ. | ١١ 11 |
And he said, "Go out tomorrow and stand on the mountain before YHWH." Look, YHWH passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before YHWH; but YHWH was not in the wind. After the wind an earthquake; but YHWH was not in the earthquake.
| وَبَعْدَ ٱلزَّلْزَلَةِ نَارٌ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلنَّارِ. وَبَعْدَ ٱلنَّارِ صَوْتٌ مُنْخَفِضٌ خَفِيفٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
After the earthquake a fire passed; but YHWH was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ إِيلِيَّا لَفَّ وَجْهَهُ بِرِدَائِهِ وَخَرَجَ وَوَقَفَ فِي بَابِ ٱلْمُغَارَةِ، وَإِذَا بِصَوْتٍ إِلَيْهِ يَقُولُ: «مَا لَكَ هَهُنَا يَا إِيلِيَّا؟» | ١٣ 13 |
It was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his cloak, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Look, a voice came to him, and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
| فَقَالَ: «غِرْتُ غَيْرَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ ٱلْجُنُودِ، لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ تَرَكُوا عَهْدَكَ، وَنَقَضُوا مَذَابِحَكَ، وَقَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، فَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي، وَهُمْ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي لِيَأْخُذُوهَا». | ١٤ 14 |
He said, "I have been very jealous for YHWH, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
| فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱذْهَبْ رَاجِعًا فِي طَرِيقِكَ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ دِمِشْقَ، وَٱدْخُلْ وَٱمْسَحْ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكًا عَلَى أَرَامَ، | ١٥ 15 |
YHWH said to him, "Go, return on your way, and you will come to the way of the wilderness of Damascus, and when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Aram.
| وَٱمْسَحْ يَاهُوَ بْنَ نِمْشِي مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱمْسَحْ أَلِيشَعَ بْنَ شَافَاطَ مِنْ آبَلَ مَحُولَةَ نَبِيًّا عِوَضًا عَنْكَ. | ١٦ 16 |
You shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
| فَٱلَّذِي يَنْجُو مِنْ سَيْفِ حَزَائِيلَ يَقْتُلُهُ يَاهُو، وَٱلَّذِي يَنْجُو مِنْ سَيْفِ يَاهُو يَقْتُلُهُ أَلِيشَعُ. | ١٧ 17 |
It shall happen, that he who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.
| وَقَدْ أَبْقَيْتُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ، كُلَّ ٱلرُّكَبِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَجْثُ لِلْبَعْلِ وَكُلَّ فَمٍ لَمْ يُقَبِّلْهُ». | ١٨ 18 |
Yet I have kept for myself seven thousand people in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him."
| فَذَهَبَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَوَجَدَ أَلِيشَعَ بْنَ شَافَاطَ يَحْرُثُ، وَٱثْنَا عَشَرَ فَدَّانَ بَقَرٍ قُدَّامَهُ، وَهُوَ مَعَ ٱلثَّانِي عَشَرَ. فَمَرَّ إِيلِيَّا بِهِ وَطَرَحَ رِدَاءَهُ عَلَيْهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
So he departed there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over to him, and cast his cloak on him.
| فَتَرَكَ ٱلْبَقَرَ وَرَكَضَ وَرَاءَ إِيلِيَّا وَقَالَ: «دَعْنِي أُقَبِّلُ أَبِي وَأُمِّي وَأَسِيرُ وَرَاءَكَ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱذْهَبْ رَاجِعًا، لِأَنِّي مَاذَا فَعَلْتُ لَكَ؟» | ٢٠ 20 |
He left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, "Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you." He said to him, "Go back again; for what have I done to you?"
| فَرَجَعَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَأَخَذَ فَدَّانَ بَقَرٍ وَذَبَحَهُمَا، وَسَلَقَ ٱللَّحْمَ بِأَدَوَاتِ ٱلْبَقَرِ وَأَعْطَى ٱلشَّعْبَ فَأَكَلُوا. ثُمَّ قَامَ وَمَضَى وَرَاءَ إِيلِيَّا وَكَانَ يَخْدِمُهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.
