1 مُلُوك 14

١ 1 فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ مَرِضَ أَبِيَّا بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ،

At that time was Abijah son of Jeroboam sick,

٢ 2 فَقَالَ يَرُبْعَامُ لِزَوْجَتِهِ: «تَنَكَّرِي حَتَّى لَا يَكْتَشِفَ أَحَدٌ أَنَّكِ زَوْجَتِي، وَامْضِي إِلَى شِيلُوهَ حَيْثُ يُقِيمُ أَخِيَّا الَّذِي أَنْبَأَنِي أَنَّنِي سَأَمْلِكُ عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ،

and Jeroboam saith to his wife, 'Rise, I pray thee, and change thyself, and they know not that thou [art] wife of Jeroboam, and thou hast gone to Shiloh; lo, there [is] Ahijah the prophet; he spake unto me of [being] king over this people;

٣ 3 وَخُذِي لَهُ مَعَكِ عَشْرَةَ أَرْغِفَةٍ وَكَعْكاً وَجَرَّةَ عَسَلٍ، وَانْطَلِقِي إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُخْبِرُكِ بِمَصِيرِ الْغُلامِ».

and thou hast taken in thy hand ten loaves, and crumbs, and a bottle of honey, and hast gone in unto him; he doth declare to thee what becometh of the youth.'

٤ 4 فَنَفَّذَتْ زَوْجَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ مَا طَلَبَهُ مِنْهَا، وَوَصَلَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَخِيَّا فِي شِيلُوهَ، وَكَانَ أَخِيَّا قَدْ طَعَنَ فِي السِّنِّ، وَكَلَّ بَصَرُهُ.

And the wife of Jeroboam doth so, and riseth, and goeth to Shiloh, and entereth the house of Ahijah, and Ahijah is not able to see, for his eyes have stood because of his age.

٥ 5 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لأَخِيَّا: «هَا هِيَ زَوْجَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ مُقْبِلَةٌ لِتَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ مَصِيرِ ابْنِهَا الْمَرِيضِ، فَأَجِبْهَا بِمَا أَقُولُهُ لَكَ، لأَنَّهَا سَتَدْخُلُ إِلَيْكَ مُتَنَكِّرَةً».

And Jehovah said unto Ahijah, 'Lo, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from thee concerning her son, for he is sick; thus and thus thou dost speak unto her, and it cometh to pass at her coming in, that she is making herself strange.'

٦ 6 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَخِيَّا وَقْعَ خَطْوَاتِهَا وَهِيَ دَاخِلَةٌ مِنَ الْبَابِ قَالَ: «ادْخُلِي يَا زَوْجَةَ يَرُبْعَامَ. لِمَاذَا تَتَنَكَّرِينَ؟ إِنَّنِي أَحْمِلُ إِلَيْكِ أَخْبَاراً سَيِّئَةً.

And it cometh to pass, at Ahijah's hearing the sound of her feet [as] she came in to the opening, that he saith, 'Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why is this — thou art making thyself strange? and I am sent unto thee [with] a sharp thing:

٧ 7 اذْهَبِي وَبَلِّغِي يَرُبْعَامَ قَضَاءَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَقَدْ رَفَعْتُكَ مِنْ وَسَطِ الشَّعْبِ، ونَصَّبْتُكَ رَئِيساً عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،

Go, say to Jeroboam, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Because that I have made thee high out of the midst of the people, and appoint thee leader over my people Israel,

٨ 8 وَمَزَّقْتُ الْمَمْلَكَةَ عَنْ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَوَلَّيْتُكَ عَلَيْهَا، وَلَكِنَّكَ لَمْ تَكُنْ كَعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ الَّذِي حَفِظَ وَصَايَايَ وَتَبِعَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِهِ لِيَصْنَعَ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ.

and rend the kingdom from the house of David, and give it to thee, — and thou hast not been as My servant David who kept My commands, and who walked after Me with all his heart, to do only that which [is] right in Mine eyes,

٩ 9 لَقَدِ ارْتَكَبْتَ مِنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ مَا فَاقَ جَمِيعَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلَكَ، فَصَنَعْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، أَصْنَاماً مَسْبُوكَةً، لِتُثِيرَ غَيْظِي، وَقَدْ طَرَحْتَنِي خَلْفَ ظَهْرِكَ.

and thou dost evil above all who have been before thee, and goest, and makest to thee other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and Me thou hast cast behind thy back:

١٠ 10 لِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أَبْتَلِيَ بَيْتَكَ بِشَرٍّ عَظِيمٍ، وَأُبِيدَ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ نَسْلِكَ، عَبْداً كَانَ أَمْ حُرّاً، وَأُفْنِيَ بَيْتَكَ كَمَا تُفْنِي النَّارُ الرَّوْثَ الْجَافَّ،

'Therefore, lo, I am bringing in evil unto the house of Jeroboam, and have cut off to Jeroboam those sitting on the wall — shut up and left — in Israel, and have put away the posterity of the house of Jeroboam, as one putteth away the dung till its consumption;

١١ 11 فَتَأْكُلُ الْكِلابُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَمُوتُ لَكَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَتَنْهَشُ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ كُلَّ مَنْ يَمُوتُ لَكَ فِي الْحَقْلِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمَ».

him who dieth of Jeroboam in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat, for Jehovah hath spoken.

١٢ 12 وَأَضَافَ أَخِيَّا: «أَمَّا أَنْتِ فَانْهَضِي وَانْطَلِقِي إِلَى بَيْتِكِ، وَحَالَمَا تَدْخُلِينَ الْمَدِينَةَ يَمُوتُ الْوَلَدُ،

'And thou, rise, go to thy house; in the going in of thy feet to the city — hath the lad died;

١٣ 13 فَيَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ وَيَدْفِنُونَهُ، لأَنَّ هَذَا وَحْدَهُ مِنْ نَسْلِ يَرُبْعَامَ يُوَارَى فِي قَبْرٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ وَجَدَ فِيهِ، مِنْ دُونِ سَائِرِ بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ، شَيْئاً صَالِحاً.

and all Israel have mourned for him, and buried him, for this one — by himself — cometh of Jeroboam unto a grave, because there hath been found in him a good thing towards Jehovah, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

١٤ 14 وَيُقِيمُ الرَّبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُبِيدَ بَيْتَ يَرُبْعَامَ الْيَوْمَ.

'And Jehovah hath raised up for Him a king over Israel who cutteth off the house of Jeroboam this day — and what? — even now!

١٥ 15 ثُمَّ يَعْصِفُ الرَّبُّ بِإِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَهُزُّهُمْ كَاهْتِزَازِ الْقَصَبِ فِي الْمَاءِ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُهُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ الْخَيِّرَةِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ، وَيُشَتِّتُهُمْ إِلَى مَا وَرَاءِ النَّهْرِ لأَنَّهُمْ أَقَامُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ أَصْنَاماً وَأَثَارُوا غَيْظَ الرَّبِّ.

And Jehovah hath smitten Israel as the reed is moved by the waters, and hath plucked Israel from off this good ground that He gave to their fathers, and scattered them beyond the River, because that they made their shrines, provoking Jehovah to anger;

١٦ 16 وَيَنْبِذُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبَهَا وَاسْتَغْوَى إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ فَأَخْطَأُوا».

and He giveth up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin.'

١٧ 17 فَعَادَتْ زَوْجَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ إِلَى تِرْصَةَ. وَمَا إِنْ وَصَلَتْ إِلَى عَتَبَةِ بَابِ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى مَاتَ الْغُلامُ،

And the wife of Jeroboam riseth, and goeth, and cometh to Tirzah; she hath come in to the threshold of the house, and the youth dieth;

١٨ 18 فَدَفَنَهُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ وَنَاحُوا عَلَيْهِ، تَمَاماً حَسَبَ كَلامِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبْدِهِ أَخِيَّا النَّبِيِّ.

and they bury him, and mourn for him do all Israel, according to the word of Jehovah, that he spake by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet.

١٩ 19 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَعْمَالِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَكَيْفَ حَارَبَ وَكَيْفَ مَلَكَ، فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And the rest of the matters of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, lo, they are written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.

٢٠ 20 وَدَامَ مُلْكُ يَرُبْعَامَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ مَاتَ وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ابْنُهُ نَادَابُ.

And the days that Jeroboam reigned [are] twenty and two years, and he lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Nadab his son in his stead.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا رَحُبْعَامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ فَقَدْ مَلَكَ فِي يَهُوذَا وَكَانَ عُمْرُهُ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَاسْتَمَرَّ حُكْمُهُ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَارَهَا الرَّبُّ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَضَعَ اسْمَهُ عَلَيْهَا، وَكَانَ اسْمُ أُمِّهِ نِعْمَةَ الْعَمُّونِيَّةَ.

And Rehoboam son of Solomon hath reigned in Judah; a son of forty and one years [is] Rehoboam in his reigning, and seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah chose to set His name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess.

٢٢ 22 وَارْتَكَبَ شَعْبُ يَهُوذَا الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، فَاسْتَثَارُوا غَيْظَهُ كَمَا لَمْ تَسْتَثِرْهُ خَطَايَا آبَائِهِمِ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبُوهَا.

And Judah doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and they make Him zealous above all that their fathers did by their sins that they have sinned.

٢٣ 23 وَأَقَامُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ وَأَنْصَاباً وَتَمَاثِيلَ عَلَى كُلِّ تَلٍّ مُرْتَفِعٍ، وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرةٍ خَضْرَاءَ.

And they build — also they — for themselves high places, and standing-pillars, and shrines, on every high height, and under every green tree;

٢٤ 24 وَتَكَاثَرَ فِي الأَرْضِ الْعَاهِرُونَ مِنْ ذَوِي الشُّذُوذِ الْجِنْسِيِّ، وَاقْتَرَفُوا كُلَّ مُوبِقَاتِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي طَرَدَهَا الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

and also a whoremonger hath been in the land; they have done according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

٢٥ 25 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ لِلْمَلِكِ رَحُبْعَامَ هَاجَمَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, gone up hath Shishak king of Egypt against Jerusalem,

٢٦ 26 وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنِ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ، وَسَلَبَ كُلَّ مَا فِيهَا، لاسِيَّمَا الأَتْرَاسُ الذَّهَبِيَّةُ الَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ.

and he taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole he hath taken; and he taketh all the shields of gold that Solomon made.

٢٧ 27 فَصَنَعَ الْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ عِوَضاً عَنْهَا أَتْرَاساً نُحَاسِيَّةً، سَلَّمَهَا لِرُؤَسَاءِ حَرَسِ بَابِ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ.

And king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath made [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners, those keeping the opening of the house of the king,

٢٨ 28 فَكَانَ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ الْمَلِكُ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يَحْمِلُهَا الْحُرَّاسُ أَمَامَهُ، ثُمَّ يُعِيدُونَهَا إِلَى غُرْفَةِ الْحَرَسِ.

and it cometh to pass, from the going in of the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners bear them, and have brought them back unto the chamber of the runners.

٢٩ 29 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَحْدَاثِ حَيَاةِ رَحُبْعَامَ وَكُلُّ مَا قَامَ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِي مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

And the rest of the matters of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

٣٠ 30 وَظَلَّتْ رَحَى الْحَرْبِ دَائِرَةً بَيْنَ رَحُبْعَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ طَوَالَ حَيَاةِ رَحُبْعَامَ.

And war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days;

٣١ 31 ثُمَّ مَاتَ رَحُبْعَامُ وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ نِعْمَةُ الْعَمُّونِيَّةُ وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ أَبِيَامُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

and Rehoboam lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers, in the city of David, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess, and reign doth Abijam his son in his stead.
