اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 9
| وَدَعَا أَلِيشَعُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَاحِدًا مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «شُدَّ حَقَوَيْكَ وَخُذْ قِنِّينَةَ ٱلدُّهْنِ هَذِهِ بِيَدِكَ، وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ. | ١ 1 |
Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, “Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.
| وَإِذَا وَصَلْتَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ فَٱنْظُرْ هُنَاكَ يَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُوشَافَاطَ بْنَ نِمْشِي، وَٱدْخُلْ وَأَقِمْهُ مِنْ وَسْطِ إِخْوَتِهِ، وَٱدْخُلْ بِهِ إِلَى مُخْدَعٍ دَاخِلَ مُخْدَعٍ. | ٢ 2 |
When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room.
| ثُمَّ خُذْ قِنِّينَةَ ٱلدُّهْنِ وَصُبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ مَسَحْتُكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. ثُمَّ ٱفْتَحِ ٱلْبَابَ وَٱهْرُبْ وَلَا تَنْتَظِرْ». | ٣ 3 |
Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘Yahweh says, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door, flee, and don’t wait.”
| فَٱنْطَلَقَ ٱلْغُلَامُ، أَيِ ٱلْغُلَامُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ | ٤ 4 |
So the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead.
| وَدَخَلَ وَإِذَا قُوَّادُ ٱلْجَيْشِ جُلُوسٌ. فَقَالَ: «لِي كَلَامٌ مَعَكَ يَا قَائِدُ». فَقَالَ يَاهُو: «مَعَ مَنْ مِنَّا كُلِّنَا؟». فَقَالَ: «مَعَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْقَائِدُ». | ٥ 5 |
When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, “I have a message for you, captain.” Jehu said, “To which one of us?” He said, “To you, O captain.”
| فَقَامَ وَدَخَلَ ٱلْبَيْتَ، فَصَبَّ ٱلدُّهْنَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: قَدْ مَسَحْتُكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى شَعْبِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٦ 6 |
He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have anointed you king over the people of Yahweh, even over Israel.
| فَتَضْرِبُ بَيْتَ أَخْآبَ سَيِّدِكَ. وَأَنْتَقِمُ لِدِمَاءِ عَبِيدِيَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَدِمَاءِ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ يَدِ إِيزَابَلَ. | ٧ 7 |
You must strike your master Ahab’s house, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, at the hand of Jezebel.
| فَيَبِيدُ كُلُّ بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ لِأَخْآبَ كُلَّ بَائِلٍ بِحَائِطٍ وَمَحْجُوزٍ وَمُطْلَقٍ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٨ 8 |
For the whole house of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
| وَأَجْعَلُ بَيْتَ أَخْآبَ كَبَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، وَكَبَيْتِ بَعْشَا بْنِ أَخِيَّا. | ٩ 9 |
I will make Ahab’s house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
| وَتَأْكُلُ ٱلْكِلَابُ إِيزَابَلَ فِي حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُهَا». ثُمَّ فَتَحَ ٱلْبَابَ وَهَرَبَ. | ١٠ 10 |
The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be no one to bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled.
| وَأَمَّا يَاهُو فَخَرَجَ إِلَى عَبِيدِ سَيِّدِهِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «أَسَلَامٌ؟ لِمَاذَا جَاءَ هَذَا ٱلْمَجْنُونُ إِلَيْكَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَكَلَامَهُ». | ١١ 11 |
When Jehu came out to the servants of his lord and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this madman come to you?” He said to them, “You know the man and how he talks.”
| فَقَالُوا: «كَذِبٌ. فَأَخْبِرْنَا». فَقَالَ: «بِكَذَا وَكَذَا كَلَّمَنِي قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ مَسَحْتُكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١٢ 12 |
They said, “That is a lie. Tell us now.” He said, “He said to me, ‘Yahweh says, I have anointed you king over Israel.’”
| فَبَادَرَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ وَأَخَذَ ثَوْبَهُ وَوَضَعَهُ تَحْتَهُ عَلَى ٱلدَّرَجِ نَفْسِهِ، وَضَرَبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ مَلَكَ يَاهُو». | ١٣ 13 |
Then they hurried, and each man took his cloak, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king.”
| وَعَصَى يَاهُو بْنُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ بْنِ نِمْشِي عَلَى يُورَامَ. وَكَانَ يُورَامُ يُحَافِظُ عَلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ هُوَ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ. | ١٤ 14 |
So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was defending Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;
| وَرَجَعَ يَهُورَامُ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِكَيْ يَبْرَأَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْجُرُوحِ ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبَهُ بِهَا ٱلْأَرَامِيُّونَ حِينَ قَاتَلَ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ. فَقَالَ يَاهُو: «إِنْ كَانَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ، لَا يَخْرُجْ مُنْهَزِمٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِكَيْ يَنْطَلِقَ فَيُخْبِرَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ». | ١٥ 15 |
but King Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, “If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.”
| وَرَكِبَ يَاهُو وَذَهَبَ إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ، لِأَنَّ يُورَامَ كَانَ مُضْطَجِعًا هُنَاكَ. وَنَزَلَ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لِيَرَى يُورَامَ. | ١٦ 16 |
So Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
| وَكَانَ ٱلرَّقِيبُ وَاقِفًا عَلَى ٱلْبُرْجِ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ، فَرَأَى جَمَاعَةَ يَاهُو عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِهِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَرَى جَمَاعَةً». فَقَالَ يَهُورَامُ: «خُذْ فَارِسًا وَأَرْسِلْهُ لِلِقَائِهِمْ، فَيَقُولَ: أَسَلَامٌ؟» | ١٧ 17 |
Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.” Joram said, “Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’”
| فَذَهَبَ رَاكِبُ ٱلْفَرَسِ لِلِقَائِهِ وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: أَسَلَامٌ؟» فَقَالَ يَاهُو: «مَا لَكَ وَلِلسَّلَامِ؟ دُرْ إِلَى وَرَائِي». فَأَخْبَرَ ٱلرَّقِيبُ قَائِلًا: «قَدْ وَصَلَ ٱلرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ». | ١٨ 18 |
So one went on horseback to meet him, and said, “the king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!” The watchman said, “The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.”
| فَأَرْسَلَ رَاكِبَ فَرَسٍ ثَانِيًا، فَلَمَّا وَصَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: أَسَلَامٌ؟» فَقَالَ يَاهُو: «مَا لَكَ وَلِلسَّلَامِ؟ دُرْ إِلَى وَرَائِي». | ١٩ 19 |
Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them and said, “The king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”
| فَأَخْبَرَ ٱلرَّقِيبُ قَائِلًا: «قَدْ وَصَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ. وَٱلسَّوْقُ كَسَوْقِ يَاهُوَ بْنِ نِمْشِي، لِأَنَّهُ يَسُوقُ بِجُنُونٍ». | ٢٠ 20 |
The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”
| فَقَالَ يَهُورَامُ: «ٱشْدُدْ». فَشُدَّتْ مَرْكَبَتُهُ، وَخَرَجَ يَهُورَامُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ، خَرَجَا لِلِقَاءِ يَاهُو. فَصَادَفَاهُ عِنْدَ حَقْلَةِ نَابُوتَ ٱلْيَزْرَعِيلِيِّ. | ٢١ 21 |
Joram said, “Get ready!” They got his chariot ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him on Naboth the Jezreelite’s land.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَهُورَامُ يَاهُوَ قَالَ: «أَسَلَامٌ يَا يَاهُو؟» فَقَالَ: «أَيُّ سَلَامٍ مَا دَامَ زِنَى إِيزَابَلَ أُمِّكَ وَسِحْرُهَا ٱلْكَثِيرُ؟» | ٢٢ 22 |
When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”
| فَرَدَّ يَهُورَامُ يَدَيْهِ وَهَرَبَ، وَقَالَ لِأَخَزْيَا: «خِيَانَةً يَا أَخَزْيَا!» | ٢٣ 23 |
Joram turned his hands and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “This is treason, Ahaziah!”
| فَقَبَضَ يَاهُو بِيَدِهِ عَلَى ٱلْقَوْسِ وَضَرَبَ يَهُورَامَ بَيْنَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ، فَخَرَجَ ٱلسَّهْمُ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ فَسَقَطَ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
| وَقَالَ لِبِدْقَرَ ثَالِثِهِ: «ٱرْفَعْهُ وَأَلْقِهِ فِي حِصَّةِ حَقْلِ نَابُوتَ ٱلْيَزْرَعِيلِيِّ. وَٱذْكُرْ كَيْفَ إِذْ رَكِبْتُ أَنَا وَإِيَّاكَ مَعًا وَرَاءَ أَخْآبَ أَبِيهِ، جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ هَذَا ٱلْحِمْلَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh laid this burden on him:
| أَلَمْ أَرَ أَمْسًا دَمَ نَابُوتَ وَدِمَاءَ بَنِيهِ يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَأُجَازِيكَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْحَقْلَةِ يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَٱلْآنَ ٱرْفَعْهُ وَأَلْقِهِ فِي ٱلْحَقْلَةِ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ٢٦ 26 |
‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says Yahweh; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to Yahweh’s word.”
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا هَرَبَ فِي طَرِيقِ بَيْتِ ٱلْبُسْتَانِ، فَطَارَدَهُ يَاهُو وَقَالَ: «ٱضْرِبُوهُ». فَضَرَبُوهُ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ فِي عَقَبَةِ جُورَ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ يِبْلَعَامَ. فَهَرَبَ إِلَى مَجِدُّو وَمَاتَ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!” They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.
| فَأَرْكَبَهُ عَبِيدُهُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in David’s city.
| فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِيُورَامَ بْنِ أَخْآبَ، مَلَكَ أَخَزْيَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
| فَجَاءَ يَاهُو إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ. وَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ إِيزَابَلُ كَحَّلَتْ بِٱلْأُثْمُدِ عَيْنَيْهَا، وَزَيَّنَتْ رَأْسَهَا وَتَطَلَّعَتْ مِنْ كَوَّةٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the window.
| وَعِنْدَ دُخُولِ يَاهُو ٱلْبَابَ قَالَتْ: «أَسَلَامٌ لِزِمْرِي قَاتِلِ سَيِّدِهِ؟» | ٣١ 31 |
As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?”
| فَرَفَعَ وَجْهَهُ نَحْوَ ٱلْكَوَّةِ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ مَعِي؟ مَنْ؟» فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِ ٱثْنَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
| فَقَالَ: «ٱطْرَحُوهَا». فَطَرَحُوهَا، فَسَالَ مِنْ دَمِهَا عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ وَعَلَى ٱلْخَيْلِ فَدَاسَهَا. | ٣٣ 33 |
He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot.
| وَدَخَلَ وَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «ٱفْتَقِدُوا هَذِهِ ٱلْمَلْعُونَةَ وَٱدْفِنُوهَا، لِأَنَّهَا بِنْتُ مَلِكٍ». | ٣٤ 34 |
When he had come in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.”
| وَلَمَّا مَضَوْا لِيَدْفِنُوهَا، لَمْ يَجِدُوا مِنْهَا إِلَّا ٱلْجُمْجُمَةَ وَٱلرِّجْلَيْنِ وَكَفَّيِ ٱلْيَدَيْنِ. | ٣٥ 35 |
They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands.
| فَرَجَعُوا وَأَخْبَرُوهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ إِيلِيَّا ٱلتِّشْبِيِّ قَائِلًا: فِي حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ تَأْكُلُ ٱلْكِلَابُ لَحْمَ إِيزَابَلَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, “This is Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,
| وَتَكُونُ جُثَّةُ إِيزَابَلَ كَدِمْنَةٍ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْحَقْلِ فِي قِسْمِ يَزْرَعِيلَ حَتَّى لَا يَقُولُوا: هَذِهِ إِيزَابَلُ». | ٣٧ 37 |
and the body of Jezebel will be as dung on the surface of the field on Jezreel’s land, so that they won’t say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
