1 مُلُوك 18
| وَبَعْدَ ثَلاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لإِيلِيَّا: «اذْهَبْ وَامْثُلْ أَمَامَ آخْابَ، وَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّنِي سَأَسْكُبُ مَطَراً عَلَى الأَرْضِ». | ١ 1 |
After many dayes, the worde of the Lord came to Eliiah, in the third yeere, saying, Goe, shewe thy selfe vnto Ahab, and I will sende rayne vpon the earth.
| فَمَضَى إِيلِيَّا لِيُبَلِّغَ آخْابَ الرِّسَالَةَ، وَكَانَتِ الْمَجَاعَةُ الشَّدِيدَةُ قَدْ عَمَّتِ السَّامِرَةَ. | ٢ 2 |
And Eliiah went to shew himselfe vnto Ahab, and there was a great famine in Samaria.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى آخْابُ عُوبَدْيَا مُدِيرَ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ، وَكَانَ عُوبَدْيَا يَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ جِدّاً. | ٣ 3 |
And Ahab called Obadiah the gouernour of his house: (and Obadiah feared God greatly:
| فَحِينَ شَرَعَتْ إِيزَابِلُ فِي قَتْلِ أَنْبِيَاءِ الرَّبِّ، أَخَذَ عُوبَدْيَا مِئَةَ نَبِيٍّ وَخَبَّأَهُمْ خَمْسِينَ خَمْسِينَ فِي مُغَارَتَيْنِ، وَتَكَفَّلَ بِإِعَالَتِهِمْ بِالطَّعَامِ وَالْمَاءِ. | ٤ 4 |
For when Iezebel destroyed the Prophets of the Lord, Obadiah tooke an hundreth Prophets, and hid them, by fiftie in a caue, and he fed them with bread and water.)
| وَكَانَ آخْابُ قَدْ قَالَ لِعُوبَدْيَا: «طُفْ فِي الْبِلادِ وَابْحَثْ عَنْ جَمِيعِ عُيُونِ الْمَاءِ وَفِي الأَوْدِيَةِ، لَعَلَّنَا نَجِدُ عُشْباً فَنُحْيِيَ الْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ، فَلا تَهْلِكَ كُلُّ الْبَهَائِمِ». | ٥ 5 |
And Ahab saide vnto Obadiah, Goe into the land, vnto all the fountaines of water, and vnto all the riuers, if so be that we may finde grasse to saue the horses and the mules aliue, lest we depriue the lande of the beastes.
| فَقَسَمَا الْبِلادَ بَيْنَهُمَا لِيَطُوفَا بِها، فَذَهَبَ آخْابُ فِي طَرِيقٍ وَحْدَهُ، وَذَهَبَ عُوبَدْيَا فِي طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ وَحْدَهُ. | ٦ 6 |
And so they deuided the lande betweene them to walke thorowe it. Ahab went one way by him selfe, and Obadiah went another way by him selfe.
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ عُوبَدْيَا فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْتَقَاهُ إِيلِيَّا، فَعَرَفَهُ، فَارْتَمَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ قَائِلاً: «هَلْ أَنْتَ هُوَ سَيِّدِي إِيلِيَّا؟» | ٧ 7 |
And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Eliiah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art not thou my lord Eliiah?
| فَأَجَابَهُ: «أَنَا هُوَ، فَاذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِسَيِّدِكَ إِنِّي هُنَا». | ٨ 8 |
And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here.
| فَقَالَ: «أَيَّةُ خَطِيئَةٍ ارْتَكَبْتُ حَتَّى تُسَلِّمَ عَبْدَكَ لِيَدِ آخْابَ لِيُمِيتَنِي؟ | ٩ 9 |
And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me?
| حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ تَبْقَ أُمَّةٌ وَلا مَمْلَكَةٌ لَمْ يُرْسِلْ إِلَيْهَا سَيِّدِي مَنْ يَبْحَثُ عَنْكَ، فَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّنَا لَمْ نَعْثُرْ عَلَيْهِ، فَكَانَ آخْابُ يَسْتَحْلِفُ الْمَمْلَكَةَ وَالأُمَّةَ لِتُقْسِمَ أَنَّهَا حَقّاً لَمْ تَجِدْكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
As the Lord thy God liueth, there is no nation or kingdome, whither my lorde hath not sent to seeke thee: and when they sayd, He is not here, he tooke an othe of the kingdome and nation, if they had not found thee.
| وَالآنَ تَطْلُبُ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ وَأَقُولَ لِلْمَلِكِ إِنَّكَ هُنَا، | ١١ 11 |
And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here.
| وَمَا إِنْ أَنْطَلِقُ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ لأُخْبِرَهُ حَتَّى يَحْمِلَكَ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى حَيْثُ لَا أَدْرِي، فَيَأْتِي آخْابُ وَلا يَجِدُكَ فَيَقْتُلُنِي، وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ أَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ مُنْذُ صِبَايَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord shall cary thee into some place that I doe not know: so when I come and tell Ahab, if he cannot finde thee, then wil he kill me: But I thy seruant feare the Lord from my youth.
| أَلَمْ يَطَّلِعْ سَيِّدِي عَمَّا فَعَلْتُهُ حِينَ شَرَعَتْ إِيزَابِلُ تَقْتُلُ أَنْبِيَاءَ الرَّبِّ، كَيْفَ خَبَّأْتُ مِئَةَ رَجُلٍ، خَمْسِينَ خَمْسِينَ فِي مُغَارَتَيْنِ، وَتَكَفَّلْتُ بِإِعَالَتِهِمْ بِالطَّعَامِ وَالْمَاءِ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Was it not tolde my lord, what I did when Iezebel slew the Prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundreth men of the Lordes Prophets by fifties in a caue, and fed them with bread and water?
| وَأَنْتَ الآنَ تُطَالِبُنِي أَنْ أَذْهَبَ وَأَقُولَ لِلْمَلِكِ إِنَّكَ هُنَا، فَيَقْتُلَنِي!» | ١٤ 14 |
And now thou sayest, Go, tel thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here, that he may slay me.
| فَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ الَّذِي أَنَا وَاقِفٌ أَمَامَهُ، إِنَّنِي الْيَوْمَ أَحْضُرُ لِمُوَاجَهَةِ آخْابَ». | ١٥ 15 |
And Eliiah said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, before whome I stand, I will surely shewe my selfe vnto him this day.
| فَانْطَلَقَ عُوبَدْيَا لِلِقَاءِ آخْابَ وَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَجَاءَ آخْابُ لِلِقَاءِ إِيلِيَّا. | ١٦ 16 |
So Obadiah went to meete Ahab, and tolde him: And Ahab went to meete Eliiah.
| وَمَا إِنْ رَأَى آخْابُ إِيلِيَّا حَتَّى قَالَ لَهُ: «أَهَذَا أَنْتَ يَامُكَدِّرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» | ١٧ 17 |
And when Ahab saw Eliiah, Ahab said vnto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
| فَأَجَابَهُ إِيلِيَّا: «أَنَا لَسْتُ مُكَدِّرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَلْ أَنْتَ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيكَ، بِعِصْيَانِكُمْ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ وَضَلالِكُمْ وَرَاءَ الْبَعْلِيمِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And he answered, I haue not troubled Israel, but thou, and thy fathers house, in that ye haue forsaken the commandements of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.
| فَالآنَ أَرْسِلْ وَاسْتَدْعِ لِي كُلَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى جَبَلِ الْكَرْمَلِ، وَكَذَلِكَ أَنْبِيَاءَ الْبَعْلِ الأَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَالْخَمْسِينَ، وَأَنْبِيَاءَ عَشْتَارُوثَ الأَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ الآكِلِينَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ إِيزَابِلَ». | ١٩ 19 |
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel vnto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal foure hundreth and fiftie, and the prophets of the groues foure hundreth, which eate at Iezebels table.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى آخْابُ جَمِيعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيَلَ، وَجَمَعَ الأَنْبِيَاءَ إِلَى جَبَلِ الْكَرْمَلِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
So Ahab sent vnto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together vnto mount Carmel.
| فَخَاطَبَ إِيلِيَّا الشَّعْبَ: «حَتَّى مَتَى تَظَلُّونَ تَعْرُجُونَ بَيْنَ الْفِرْقَتَيْنِ؟ إِنْ كَانَ الرَّبُّ هُوَ اللهُ فَاتْبَعُوهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الْبَعْلُ هُوَ اللهُ فَاتْبَعُوهُ». فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ الشَّعْبُ بِكَلِمَةٍ. | ٢١ 21 |
And Eliiah came vnto all the people, and said, How long halt ye betweene two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal be he, then goe after him. And the people answered him not a worde.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِلشَّعْبِ: «أَنَا بَقِيتُ وَحْدِي نَبِيًّا لِلرَّبِّ، وَأَنْبِيَاءُ الْبَعْلِ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسُونَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Then said Eliiah vnto the people, I onely remayne a Prophet of the Lord: but Baals prophets are foure hundreth and fiftie men.
| فَأَعْطُونَا ثَوْرَيْنِ، وَلْيَخْتَرْ أَنْبِيَاءُ الْبَعْلِ أَحَدَهُمَا، وَيُقَطِّعُوهُ وَيَضَعُوهُ عَلَى الْحَطَبِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُشْعِلُوا نَاراً، وَأَنَا أُقَرِّبُ الثَّوْرَ الآخَرَ وَأَضَعُهُ عَلَى الْحَطَبِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ أُشْعِلَ نَاراً. | ٢٣ 23 |
Let them therefore giue vs two bullockes, and let them chuse the one, and cut him in pieces, and lay him on the wood, but put no fire vnder, and I will prepare the other bullocke, and lay him on the wood, and will put no fire vnder.
| ثُمَّ تَتَضَرَّعُونَ بِاسْمِ آلِهَتِكُمْ، وَأَنَا أَدْعُو بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِي. وَالإِلَهُ الَّذِي يَسْتَجِيبُ وَيُنْزِلُ نَاراً يَكُونُ هُوَ اللهُ الْحَقُّ». فَأَجَابَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَذَا قَوْلٌ صَائِبٌ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Then call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and then the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered, and sayde, It is well spoken.
| فَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا عِنْدَئِذٍ لأَنْبِيَاءِ الْبَعْلِ: «اخْتَارُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ ثَوْراً وَاحِداً، وَقَرِّبُوا أَوَّلاً لأَنَّكُمُ الأَكْثَرُ عَدَداً وَادْعُوا بِاسْمِ آلِهَتِكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تُشْعِلُوا نَاراً». | ٢٥ 25 |
And Eliiah said vnto the prophets of Baal, Chuse you a bullocke, and prepare him first, (for ye are many) and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire vnder.
| فَأَحْضَرُوا الثَّوْرَ الَّذِي أُعْطِيَ لَهُمْ وَوَضَعُوهُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، وَظَلُّوا يَدْعُونَ بِاسْمِ الْبَعْلِ مِنَ الصَّبَاحِ إِلَى الظُّهْرِ قَائِلِينَ: «يَابَعْلُ اسْتَجِبْ لَنَا». فَلَمْ يَكُنْ هُنَاكَ صَوْتٌ أَوْ مُجِيبٌ. فَرَاحُوا يَرْقُصُونَ حَوْلَ الْمَذْبَحِ الْمُشَيَّدِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
So they tooke the one bullocke, that was giuen them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal, from morning to noone, saying, O Baal, heare vs: but there was no voyce, nor any to answere: and they leapt vpon the altar that was made.
| وَعِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ سَخِرَ بِهِمْ إِيلِيَّا وَقَالَ: «ادْعُوا بِصَوْتٍ أَعْلَى فَهُوَ حَقّاً إِلَهٌ! لَعَلَّهُ مُسْتَغْرِقٌ فِي التَّأَمُّلِ أَوْ فِي خَلْوَةٍ أَوْ فِي سَفَرٍ! أَوْ لَعَلَّهُ نَائِمٌ فَيَسْتَيْقِظَ». | ٢٧ 27 |
And at noone Eliiah mocked them, and said, Crye loude: for he is a god: either he talketh or pursueth his enemies, or is in his iourney, or it may be that he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
| فَشَرَعُوا يَهْتِفُونَ بِصَوْتٍ أَعْلَى، وَيُمَزِّقُونَ أَجْسَادَهُمْ بِالسُّيُوفِ وَالرِّمَاحِ كَعَادَتِهِمْ، حَتَّى سَالَ مِنْهُمُ الدَّمُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And they cryed loude, and cut them selues as their maner was, with kniues and launcers, till the blood gushed out vpon them.
| وَانْقَضَتْ سَاعَاتُ الظُّهْرِ، وَظَلَّوا يَهْذُونَ صَارِخِينَ حَتَّى حَلَّ وَقْتُ إِصْعَادِ التَّقْدِمَةِ الْمَسَائِيَّةِ، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَكُونَ هُنَاكَ صَوْتٌ أَوْ مُجِيبٌ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And when midday was passed, and they had prophecied vntil the offring of the euening sacrifice, there was neither voyce, nor one to answere, nor any that regarded.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِلشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ: «تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيَّ». فَدَنَا جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ مِنْهُ، فَرَمَّمَ مَذْبَحَ الرَّبِّ الْمُنْهَدِمَ، | ٣٠ 30 |
And Eliiah said vnto all the people, Come to me. And all the people came to him. And he repayred the altar of the Lord that was broken downe.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ حَجَراً حَسَبَ عَدَدِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ الَّذِي دَعَاهُ اللهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ | ٣١ 31 |
And Eliiah tooke twelue stones, according to the nomber of the tribes of the sonnes of Iaakob, (vnto whome the worde of the Lord came, saying, Israel shalbe thy name)
| وَبَنَى بِهَذِهِ الْحِجَارَةِ مَذْبَحاً بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ، وَحَفَرَ حَوْلَهُ قَنَاةً تَسَعُ نَحْوَ كَيْلَتَيْنِ مِنَ الحَبِّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And with the stones he buylt an altar in the Name of the Lord: and he made a ditch round about the altar, as great as woulde conteine two measures of seede.
| ثُمَّ رَتَّبَ الْحَطَبَ وَقَطَّعَ الثَّوْرَ، وَوَضَعَ أَجْزَاءَهُ عَلَى الْحَطَبِ وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَمْلأُوا أَرْبَعَ جَرَّاتٍ مَاءً وَيَصُبُّوهَا عَلَى الْمُحْرَقَةِ وَعَلَى الْحَطَبِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And he put the wood in order, and hewed the bullocke in pieces, and layd him on the wood,
| ثُمَّ قَالَ «ثَنُّوا»، فَثَنَّوْا، وَعَادَ يَأْمُرُ: «ثَلِّثُوا»، فَثَلَّثُوا. | ٣٤ 34 |
And said, Fill foure barrels with water, and powre it on the burnt offring and on the wood. Againe he said, Doe so againe. And they did so the second time. And he sayde, Doe it the third time. And they did it the third time.
| حَتَّى جَرَى الْمَاءُ حَوْلَ الْمَذْبَحِ وَامْتَلأَتِ الْقَنَاةُ أَيْضاً بِالْمَاءِ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And the water ran round about the altar: and he filled the ditch with water also.
| وَفِي مِيعَادِ ذَبِيحَةِ الْمَسَاءِ صَلَّى إِيلِيَّا: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيُعْلَمِ الْيَوْمَ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنِّي أَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَبِأَمْرِكَ قَدْ أَقْدَمْتُ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
And when they should offer the euening sacrifice, Eliiah the Prophet came, and sayd, Lord God of Abraham, Izhak and of Israel, let it be knowen this day, that thou art the God of Israel, and that I am thy seruant, and that I haue done all these things at thy commandement.
| اسْتَجِبْنِي يَا رَبُّ، اسْتَجِبْنِي، لِيُدْرِكَ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ، وَأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَرُدُّ قُلُوبَهُمْ إِلَيْكَ». | ٣٧ 37 |
Heare me, O Lord, heare me, and let this people know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart againe at the last.
| فَنَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الْتَهَمَتِ الْمُحْرَقَةَ وَالْحَطَبَ وَالْحِجَارَةَ وَالتُّرَابَ وَلَحَسَتْ مَاءَ الْقَنَاةِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt offring, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked vp the water that was in the ditche.
| فَلَمَّا شَاهَدَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ذَلِكَ خَرُّوا سَاجِدِينَ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ هَاتِفِينَ: «الرَّبُّ هُوَ اللهُ! الرَّبُّ هُوَ اللهُ!» | ٣٩ 39 |
And when all the people sawe it, they fell on their faces, and saide, The Lord is God, the Lord is God.
| فَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا: «اقْبِضُوا عَلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ الْبَعْلِ وَلا تَدَعُوا رَجُلاً مِنْهُمْ يُفْلِتُ» فَقَبَضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، فَسَاقَهُمْ إِيلِيَّا إِلَى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ وَذَبَحَهُمْ هُنَاكَ. | ٤٠ 40 |
And Elijah said vnto them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not a man of them escape. and they tooke them, and Eliiah brought them to the brooke Kishon, and slewe them there.
| وَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا لأَخْآبَ: «اصْعَدْ كُلْ وَاشْرَبْ لأَنَّنِي أَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ دَوِيِّ مَطَرٍ». | ٤١ 41 |
And Eliiah sayde vnto Ahab, Get thee vp, eate and drinke, for there is a sound of much rayne.
| فَمَضَى آخْابُ لِيَأْكُلَ وَيَشْرَبَ، وَأَمَّا إِيلِيَّا فَارْتَقَى إِلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلِ الْكَرْمَلِ وَجَلَسَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَخَبَّأَ رَأْسَهُ بَيْنَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
So Ahab went vp to eate and to drinke, and Eliiah went vp to the top of Carmel: and he crouched vnto the earth, and put his face betweene his knees,
| وَقَالَ لِغُلامِهِ: «اذْهَبْ وَتَطَلَّعْ نَحْوَ الْبَحْرِ». فَمَضَى الْغُلامُ وَتَطَلَّعَ نَحْوَ الْبَحْرِ وَقَالَ: «لا أَرَى شَيْئاً». فَأَمَرَ إِيلِيَّا: «اذْهَبْ وَتَطَلَّعْ» سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ | ٤٣ 43 |
And sayde to his seruant, Goe vp now and looke towarde the way of the Sea. And he went vp, and looked, and sayde, There is nothing. Againe he sayd, Goe againe seuen times.
| وَفِي الْمَرَّةِ السَّابِعَةِ قَالَ الْغُلامُ: «أَرَى غَيْمَةً صَغِيرَةً فِي حَجْمِ كَفِّ إِنْسَانٍ صَاعِدَةً مِنَ الْبَحْرِ». فَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا: «انْطَلِقْ وَقُلْ لأَخْآبَ أَعِدَّ مَرْكَبَتَكَ وانْزِلْ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ لِئَلّا يُعِيقَكَ الْمَطَرُ عَنِ السَّفَرِ». | ٤٤ 44 |
And at the seuenth time he sayd, Behold, there ariseth a litle cloude out of the sea like a mans hand. Then he sayd, Vp, and say vnto Ahab, Make readie thy charet, and get thee downe, that the raine stay thee not.
| وَسَرْعَانَ مَا تَلَبَّدَتِ السَّمَاءُ بِالْغُيُومِ، وَهَبَّتْ رِيحٌ عَاصِفَةٌ، وَهَطَلَ مَطَرٌ غَزِيرٌ، فَانْدَفَعَ آخْابَ بِمَرْكَبَتِهِ نَحْوَ يِزْرَعِيلَ. | ٤٥ 45 |
And in the meane while the heauen was blacke with cloudes and winde, and there was a great rayne. Then Ahab went vp and came to Izreel.
| وَحَلَّتْ قُوَّةُ الرَّبِّ فِي إِيلِيَّا، فَلَفَّ عَبَاءَتَهُ حَوْلَ حَقْوَيْهِ وَرَكَضَ لِيَسْبِقَ آخْابَ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ يِزْرَعِيلَ. | ٤٦ 46 |
And the hand of the Lord was on Eliiah, and he girded vp his Ioynes, and ran before Ahab till he came to Izreel.
