اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 6
| وَقَالَ بَنُو ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ لِأَلِيشَعَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعُ ٱلَّذِي نَحْنُ مُقِيمُونَ فِيهِ أَمَامَكَ ضَيِّقٌ عَلَيْنَا. | ١ 1 |
The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.
| فَلْنَذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ وَنَأْخُذْ مِنْ هُنَاكَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ خَشَبَةً، وَنَعْمَلْ لِأَنْفُسِنَا هُنَاكَ مَوْضِعًا لِنُقِيمَ فِيهِ». فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا». | ٢ 2 |
Please let us go to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell." He answered, "Go."
| فَقَالَ وَاحِدٌ: «ٱقْبَلْ وَٱذْهَبْ مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ». فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَذْهَبُ». | ٣ 3 |
One said, "Please be pleased to go with your servants." He answered, "I will go."
| فَٱنْطَلَقَ مَعَهُمْ. وَلَمَّا وَصَلُوا إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ قَطَعُوا خَشَبًا. | ٤ 4 |
So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
| وَإِذْ كَانَ وَاحِدٌ يَقْطَعُ خَشَبَةً، وَقَعَ ٱلْحَدِيدُ فِي ٱلْمَاءِ. فَصَرَخَ وَقَالَ: «آهِ يَا سَيِّدِي! لِأَنَّهُ عَارِيَةٌ». | ٥ 5 |
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water. Then he cried, and said, "Alas, my master. For it was borrowed."
| فَقَالَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ: «أَيْنَ سَقَطَ؟» فَأَرَاهُ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ، فَقَطَعَ عُودًا وَأَلْقَاهُ هُنَاكَ، فَطَفَا ٱلْحَدِيدُ. | ٦ 6 |
The man of God asked, "Where did it fall?" He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
| فَقَالَ: «ٱرْفَعْهُ لِنَفْسِكَ». فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَهُ. | ٧ 7 |
He said, "Take it." So he put out his hand and took it.
| وَأَمَّا مَلِكُ أَرَامَ فَكَانَ يُحَارِبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتَآمَرَ مَعَ عَبِيدِهِ قَائِلًا: «فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلْفُلَانِيِّ تَكُونُ مَحَلَّتِي». | ٨ 8 |
Now the king of Aram was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, "My camp will be in such and such a place."
| فَأَرْسَلَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ إِلَى مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقُولُ: «ٱحْذَرْ مِنْ أَنْ تَعْبُرَ بِهَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ حَالُّونَ هُنَاكَ». | ٩ 9 |
The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, "Beware that you not pass such a place; for the Arameans are coming down there."
| فَأَرْسَلَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ عَنْهُ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ وَحَذَّرَهُ مِنْهُ وَتَحَفَّظَ هُنَاكَ، لَا مَرَّةً وَلَا مَرَّتَيْنِ. | ١٠ 10 |
The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
| فَٱضْطَرَبَ قَلْبُ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ، وَدَعَا عَبِيدَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَمَا تُخْبِرُونَنِي مَنْ مِنَّا هُوَ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» | ١١ 11 |
The heart of the king of Aram was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, "Won't you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?"
| فَقَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ عَبِيدِهِ: «لَيْسَ هَكَذَا يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ. وَلَكِنَّ أَلِيشَعَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ ٱلَّذِي فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يُخْبِرُ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا فِي مُخْدَعِ مِضْطَجَعِكَ». | ١٢ 12 |
One of his servants said, "No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom."
| فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا أَيْنَ هُوَ، فَأُرْسِلَ وَآخُذَهُ». فَأُخْبِرَ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا هُوَ فِي دُوثَانَ». | ١٣ 13 |
He said, "Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him." It was told him, saying, "Look, he is in Dothan."
| فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ خَيْلًا وَمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَجَيْشًا ثَقِيلًا، وَجَاءُوا لَيْلًا وَأَحَاطُوا بِٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city.
| فَبَكَّرَ خَادِمُ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ وَقَامَ وَخَرَجَ، وَإِذَا جَيْشٌ مُحِيطٌ بِٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَخَيْلٌ وَمَرْكَبَاتٌ. فَقَالَ غُلَامُهُ لَهُ: «آهِ يَاسَيِّدِي! كَيْفَ نَعْمَلُ؟» | ١٥ 15 |
When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, look, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, "Alas, my master. What shall we do?"
| فَقَالَ: «لَا تَخَفْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَنَا أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُمْ». | ١٦ 16 |
He answered, "Do not be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
| وَصَلَّى أَلِيشَعُ وَقَالَ: «يَارَبُّ، ٱفْتَحْ عَيْنَيْهِ فَيُبْصِرَ». فَفَتَحَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَيْنَيِ ٱلْغُلَامِ فَأَبْصَرَ، وَإِذَا ٱلْجَبَلُ مَمْلُوءٌ خَيْلًا وَمَرْكَبَاتِ نَارٍ حَوْلَ أَلِيشَعَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Then Elisha prayed and said, "YHWH, please open his eyes, that he may see." YHWH opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and look, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
| وَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا إِلَيْهِ صَلَّى أَلِيشَعُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «ٱضْرِبْ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمَ بِٱلْعَمَى». فَضَرَبَهُمْ بِٱلْعَمَى كَقَوْلِ أَلِيشَعَ. | ١٨ 18 |
When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to YHWH, and said, "Please strike this people with blindness." He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَلِيشَعُ: «لَيْسَتْ هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلطَّرِيقَ، وَلَا هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. ٱتْبَعُونِي فَأَسِيرَ بِكُمْ إِلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي تُفَتِّشُونَ عَلَيْهِ». فَسَارَ بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ١٩ 19 |
Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." He led them to Samaria.
| فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا ٱلسَّامِرَةَ قَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «يَارَبُّ ٱفْتَحْ أَعْيُنَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَيُبْصِرُوا». فَفَتَحَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَأَبْصَرُوا وَإِذَا هُمْ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
It happened, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, "YHWH, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." YHWH opened their eyes, and they saw; and look, they were in the midst of Samaria.
| فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَلِيشَعَ لَمَّا رَآهُمْ: «هَلْ أَضْرِبُ؟ هَلْ أَضْرِبُ يَا أَبِي؟» | ٢١ 21 |
The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, "My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?"
| فَقَالَ: «لَا تَضْرِبْ. تَضْرِبُ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَيْتَهُمْ بِسَيْفِكَ وَبِقَوْسِكَ. ضَعْ خُبْزًا وَمَاءً أَمَامَهُمْ فَيَأْكُلُوا وَيَشْرَبُوا، ثُمَّ يَنْطَلِقُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِهِمْ». | ٢٢ 22 |
He answered, "You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master."
| فَأَوْلَمَ لَهُمْ وَلِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا، ثُمَّ أَطْلَقَهُمْ فَٱنْطَلَقُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِهِمْ. وَلَمْ تَعُدْ أَيْضًا جُيُوشُ أَرَامَ تَدْخُلُ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
He prepared great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The bands of Aram stopped raiding the land of Israel.
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ بَنْهَدَدَ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ جَمَعَ كُلَّ جَيْشِهِ وَصَعِدَ فَحَاصَرَ ٱلسَّامِرَةَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
It happened after this, that Benhadad king of Aram gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
| وَكَانَ جُوعٌ شَدِيدٌ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. وَهُمْ حَاصَرُوهَا حَتَّى صَارَ رَأْسُ ٱلْحِمَارِ بِثَمَانِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَرُبْعُ ٱلْقَابِ مِنْ زِبْلِ ٱلْحَمَامِ بِخَمْسٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
There was a great famine in Samaria. Look, they besieged it, until a donkey's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَائِزًا عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ صَرَخَتِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ إِلَيْهِ تَقُولُ: «خَلِّصْ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ». | ٢٦ 26 |
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, "Help, my lord, O king."
| فَقَالَ: «لَا! يُخَلِّصْكِ ٱلرَّبُّ. مِنْ أَيْنَ أُخَلِّصُكِ؟ أَمِنَ ٱلْبَيْدَرِ أَوْ مِنَ ٱلْمِعْصَرَةِ؟» | ٢٧ 27 |
He said, "If YHWH doesn't help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?"
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَا لَكِ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «إِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ قَدْ قَالَتْ لِي: هَاتِي ٱبْنَكِ فَنَأْكُلَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ثُمَّ، نَأْكُلَ ٱبْنِي غَدًا. | ٢٨ 28 |
The king said to her, "What ails you?" She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'
| فَسَلَقْنَا ٱبْنِي وَأَكَلْنَاهُ. ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهَا فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْآخَرِ: هَاتِي ٱبْنَكِ فَنَأْكُلَهُ فَخَبَّأَتِ ٱبْنَهَا». | ٢٩ 29 |
So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, 'Give your son, that we may eat him;' and she has hidden her son."
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ كَلَامَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَهُوَ مُجْتَازٌ عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ، فَنَظَرَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَإِذَا مِسْحٌ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
It happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked and saw that he had sackcloth against his skin.
| فَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا يَصْنَعُ لِي ٱللهُ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ، إِنْ قَامَ رَأْسُ أَلِيشَعَ بْنِ شَافَاطَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْيَوْمَ». | ٣١ 31 |
Then he said, "God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stay on him this day."
| وَكَانَ أَلِيشَعُ جَالِسًا فِي بَيْتِهِ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ جُلُوسًا عِنْدَهُ. فَأَرْسَلَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَمَامِهِ. وَقَبْلَمَا أَتَى ٱلرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لِلشُّيُوخِ: «هَلْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْقَاتِلِ هَذَا قَدْ أَرْسَلَ لِكَيْ يَقْطَعَ رَأْسِي؟ ٱنْظُرُوا! إِذَا جَاءَ ٱلرَّسُولُ فَأَغْلِقُوا ٱلْبَابَ وَٱحْصُرُوهُ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَابِ. أَلَيْسَ صَوْتُ قَدَمَيْ سَيِّدِهِ وَرَاءَهُ؟». | ٣٢ 32 |
But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Isn't the sound of his master's feet behind him?"
| وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ إِذَا بِٱلرَّسُولِ نَازِلٌ إِلَيْهِ. فَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا هَذَا ٱلشَّرُّ هُوَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. مَاذَا أَنْتَظِرُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ بَعْدُ؟». | ٣٣ 33 |
While he was still talking with them, look, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, "Look, this disaster is from YHWH. Why should I wait for YHWH any longer?"
