1 مُلُوك 16

١ 1 وَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ يَاهُو بْنِ حَنَانِي بِرِسَالَةٍ لِيُبَلِّغَهَا لِبَعْشَا:

And a word of Jehovah is unto Jehu son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying,

٢ 2 «لَقَدْ رَفَعْتُكَ مِنَ الْحَضِيضِ، وَنَصَّبْتُكَ مَلِكاً عَلَى شَعْبِي وَلَكِنَّكَ سَلَكْتَ فِي سُبُلِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَجَعَلْتَ شَعْبِي يَأْثَمُونَ وَيُثِيرُونَ غَيْظِي بِخَطَايَاهُمْ.

'Because that I have raised thee up out of the dust, and appoint thee leader over My people Israel, and thou walkest in the way of Jeroboam, and causest My people Israel to sin — to provoke Me to anger with their sins;

٣ 3 لِهَذَا سَأَسْتَأْصِلُ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ وَسَائِرَ نَسْلِ بَيْتِكَ، وَأُبِيدُ بَيْتَكَ كَمَا أَبَدْتُ بَيْتَ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ.

lo, I am putting away the posterity of Baasha, even the posterity of his house, and have given up thy house as the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat;

٤ 4 فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَمُوتُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ تَأْكُلُهُ الْكِلابُ، وَمَنْ يَمُوتُ مِنْهُمْ فِي الْحَقْلِ تَنْهَشُهُ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ».

him who dieth of Baasha in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth of his in a field do fowl of the heavens eat.'

٥ 5 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ بَعْشَا وَمَا قَامَ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ وَبَأْسٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And the rest of the matters of Baasha, and that which he did, and his might, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٦ 6 وَمَاتَ بَعْشَا وَدُفِنَ فِي تِرْصَةَ وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ أَيْلَةُ عَلَى عَرْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Baasha lieth with his fathers, and is buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son reigneth in his stead.

٧ 7 وَكَانَ كَلامُ الرَّبِّ أَيْضاً عَلَى لِسَانِ يَاهُو بْنِ حَنَانِي النَّبِيِّ بِشَأْنِ بَعْشَا وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ بِسَبَبِ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ مِنْ شَرٍّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، فَأَثَارَ غَيْظَهُ بِمَا جَنَتْهُ يَدَاهُ، عَلَى مِثَالِ مَا اقْتَرَفَهُ بَيْتُ يَرُبْعَامَ، بَلْ فَاقَ عَلَيْهِ إِذْ أَقْدَمَ عَلَى إِبَادَةِ عَائِلَةِ يَرُبْعَامَ.

And also by the hand of Jehu son of Hanani the prophet a word of Jehovah hath been concerning Baasha, and concerning his house, and concerning all the evil that he did in the eyes of Jehovah to provoke Him to anger with the work of his hands, to be like the house of Jeroboam, and concerning that for which he smote him.

٨ 8 وَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّادِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى أَيْلَةُ بْنُ بَعْشَا فِي تِرْصَةَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُدَّةِ سَنَتَيْنِ.

In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah reigned hath Elah son of Baasha over Israel in Tirzah, two years;

٩ 9 فَتَآمَرَ عَلَيْهِ زِمْرِي قَائِدُ نِصْفِ فِرْقَةِ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ بَيْنَمَا كَانَ فِي تِرْصَةَ يَشْرَبُ وَيَسْكَرُ فِي مَنْزِلِ أَرْصَا الْمُشْرِفِ عَلَى إِدَارَةِ الْقَصْرِ.

and conspire against him doth his servant Zimri (head of the half of the chariots) and he [is] in Tirzah drinking — a drunkard in the house of Arza, who [is] over the house in Tirzah.

١٠ 10 فَاقْتَحَمَ زِمْرِي الْمَنْزِلَ وَاغْتَالَ أَيْلَةَ. وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى عَرْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Zimri cometh in and smiteth him, and putteth him to death, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigneth in his stead;

١١ 11 وَحَالَمَا تَسَلَّمَ زِمَامَ الْمُلْكِ أَبَادَ كُلَّ ذُرِّيَّةِ بَعْشَا، فَلَمْ يُبْقِ عَلَى ذَكَرٍ مِنْهُمْ، كَمَا قَتَلَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ إِلَى بَعْشَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ.

and it cometh to pass in his reigning, at his sitting on his throne, he hath smitten the whole house of Baasha; he hath not left to him any sitting on the wall, and of his redeemers, and of his friends.

١٢ 12 وَهَكَذَا أَبَادَ زِمْرِي كُلَّ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا، تَحْقِيقاً لِقَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى لِسَانِ يَاهُو النَّبِيِّ،

And Zimri destroyeth the whole house of Baasha, according to the word of Jehovah, that He spake concerning Baasha, by the hand of Jehu the prophet:

١٣ 13 وَذَلِكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ بَعْشَا وَابْنُهُ أَيْلَةُ مِنْ آثَامٍ، وَجَعلا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُونَ، وَيَسْتَثِيرُونَ غَيْظَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِضَلالِهِمْ.

concerning all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, that they sinned, and that they caused Israel to sin to provoke Jehovah, God of Israel, with their vanities.

١٤ 14 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ أَيْلَةَ وَكُلُّ مَا قَامَ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

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

١٥ 15 وَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، تَرَبَّعَ زِمْرِي عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْمَمْلَكَةِ لِمُدَّةِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي تِرْصَةَ. وَكَانَ الْجَيْشُ آنَئِذٍ يُحَاصِرُ الْمَدِينَةَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّةَ جِبَّثُونَ.

In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, reigned hath Zimri seven days in Tirzah; and the people are encamping against Gibbethon, which [is] to the Philistines;

١٦ 16 فَبَلَغَ مَسَامِعَ الْجَيْشِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ أَنَّ زِمْرِي تَمَرَّدَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ وَاغْتَالَهُ، فَنَصَّبَ الْجَيْشُ قَائِدَهُمْ عُمْرِيَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَهُمْ مَا بَرِحُوا فِي مَيْدَانِ الْقِتَالِ.

and the people who are encamping hear, saying, 'Zimri hath conspired, and also hath smitten the king;' and all Israel cause Omri head of the host to reign over Israel on that day in the camp.

١٧ 17 فَتَوَجَّهَ عُمْرِي وَكُلُّ الْجَيْشِ الَّذِي مَعَهُ مِنْ جِبَّثُونَ وَحَاصَرُوا تِرْصَةَ.

And Omri goeth up, and all Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they lay siege to Tirzah.

١٨ 18 وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى زِمْرِي أَنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ قَدْ سَقَطَتْ، دَخَلَ قَصْرَ الْمَلِكِ وَأَشْعَلَ فِيهِ وَفِي نَفْسِهِ النَّارَ، فَمَاتَ،

And it cometh to pass, at Zimri's seeing that the city hath been captured, that he cometh in unto a high place of the house of the king, and burneth over him the house of the king with fire, and dieth,

١٩ 19 عِقَاباً عَلَى آثَامِهِ الَّتِي اقْتَرَفَهَا حِينَ ارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَسَلَكَ فِي سُبُلِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَلأَنَّهُ جَعَلَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُونَ.

for his sins that he sinned, to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to walk in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he did, to cause Israel to sin;

٢٠ 20 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ زِمْرِي وَتَمَرُّدُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِي مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

and the rest of the matters of Zimri, and his conspiracy that he made, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٢١ 21 وَمَا لَبِثَ الشَّعْبُ أَنِ انْقَسَمَ إِلَى فِئَتَيْنِ: فِئَةٌ تُنَاصِرُ تِبْنِي بْنَ جِينَةَ لِتُبَايِعَهُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ، وَفِئَةٌ تُنَاصِرُ عُمْرِي.

Then are the sons of Israel parted into halves; half of the people hath been after Tibni son of Ginath to cause him to reign, and the half after Omri;

٢٢ 22 فَتَغَلَّبَ أَنْصَارُ عُمْرِي عَلَى أَنْصَارِ تِبْنِي بْنِ جِينَةَ، فَمَاتَ تِبْنِي وَسَلِمَ الْعَرْشُ لِعُمْرِي.

and stronger are the people that are after Omri than the people that are after Tibni son of Ginath, and Tibni dieth, and Omri reigneth.

٢٣ 23 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى عُمْرِي عَرْشَ مَمْلَكَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، مِنْهَا سِتُّ سَنَوَاتٍ فِي تِرْصَةَ.

In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah reigned hath Omri over Israel twelve years; in Tirzah he hath reigned six years,

٢٤ 24 ثُمَّ اشْتَرَى جَبَلَ السَّامِرَةِ مِنْ شَامِرَ بِوَزْنَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ (نَحْوِ اثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً)، وَبَنَى عَلَيْهِ مَدِينَةً دَعَاهَا السَّامِرَةَ، عَلَى اسْمِ شَامِرَ صَاحِبِ الْجَبَلِ.

and he buyeth the mount Samaria from Shemer, with two talents of silver, and buildeth [on] the mount, and calleth the name of the city that he hath built by the name of Shemer, lord of the hill — Samaria.

٢٥ 25 وَارْتَكَبَ عُمْرِي الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ حَتَّى فَاقَ إِثْمُهُ جَمِيعَ الَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ،

And Omri doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and doth evil above all who [are] before him,

٢٦ 26 وَاقْتَرَفَ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، وَسَلَكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ الَّتِي أَضَلَّ بِها إِسْرَائِيلَ فَاسْتَثَارُوا بِضَلالِهِمْ غَيْظَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ.

and walketh in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah, God of Israel, with their vanities.

٢٧ 27 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ عُمْرِي وَمَا قَامَ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ وَمِنْ بَأْسٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

And the rest of the matters of Omri that he did, and his might that he got, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٢٨ 28 وَمَاتَ عُمْرِي وَدُفِنَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آخْابُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

And Omri lieth with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son reigneth in his stead.

٢٩ 29 وَمَلَكَ آخْابُ بْنُ عُمْرِي عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَدَامَتْ وِلايَتُهُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ مُدَّةَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

And Ahab son of Omri hath reigned over Israel in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab son of Omri reigneth over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years,

٣٠ 30 وَارْتَكَبَ آخْابُ بْنُ عُمْرِي الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، حَتَّى فَاقَ إِثْمُهُ جَمِيعَ أَسْلافِهِ.

and Ahab son of Omri doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah above all who [are] before him.

٣١ 31 وَكَأَنَّمَا كَانَ الانْهِمَاكُ فِي ارْتِكَابِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ أَمْراً تَافِهاً، فَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْ إِيزَابِلَ ابْنَةِ أَثْبَعَلَ مَلِكِ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ، وَغَوَى وَرَاءَ الْبَعْلِ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ.

And it cometh to pass — hath it been light his walking in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat? — then he taketh a wife, Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and goeth and serveth Baal, and boweth himself to it,

٣٢ 32 وَشَيَّدَ مَذْبَحاً لِلْبَعْلِ فِي مَعْبَدِ الْبَعْلِ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ فِي السَّامِرَةِ.

and raiseth up an altar for Baal, in the house of the Baal, that he built in Samaria;

٣٣ 33 وَأَقَامَ آخْابُ مَنْحُوتَاتِ الأَصْنَامِ، وَتَفَاقَمَ شَرُّ أَعْمَالِهِ لِيُثِيرَ غَيْظَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَائِرِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ السَّابِقِينَ.

and Ahab maketh the shrine, and Ahab addeth to do so as to provoke Jehovah, God of Israel, above all the kings of Israel who have been before him.

٣٤ 34 وَفِي عَهْدِهِ بَنَى حِيئِيلُ الْبَيْتَئِيلِيُّ أَرِيحَا. وَعِنْدَمَا أَرْسَى أَسَاسَهَا مَاتَ ابْنُهُ الأَكْبَرُ أَبِيرَامُ، وَعِنْدَمَا نَصَبَ بَوَّابَاتِهَا مَاتَ ابْنُهُ الأَصْغَرُ سَجُوبُ، فَتَحَقَّقَ بِذَلِكَ وَعِيدُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ يَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونٍ.

In his days hath Hiel the Beth-Elite built Jericho; in Abiram his first-born he laid its foundation, and in Segub his youngest he set up its doors, according to the word of Jehovah that He spake by the hand of Joshua son of Nun.
