1 مُلُوك 19
| وَأَخْبَرَ آخْابُ إِيزَابِلَ بِمَا صَنَعَهُ إِيلِيَّا، وَكَيْفَ قَتَلَ جَمِيعَ أَنْبِيَاءِ الْبَعْلِ بِالسَّيْفِ، | ١ 1 |
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
| فَبَعَثَتْ إِيزَابِلُ رَسُولاً إِلَى إِيلِيَّا قَائِلَةً: «لِتُعَاقِبْنِي الآلِهَةُ أَشَّدَ عِقَابٍ وَتَزِدْ، إِنْ لَمْ أَقْتُلْكَ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ غَداً، فَتَكُونَ كَمِثْلِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلْتَهُمْ». | ٢ 2 |
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ إِيلِيَّا ذَلِكَ هَرَبَ لِيَنْجُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَوَصَلَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ التَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُوذَا، حَيْثُ تَرَكَ خَادِمَهُ. | ٣ 3 |
And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
| ثُمَّ هَامَ وَحْدَهُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمٍ، حَتَّى أَتَى شَجَرَةَ شِيحٍ، فَجَلَسَ تَحْتَهَا، وَتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتَ لِنَفْسِهِ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ كَفَى الآنَ يَارَبِّي، خُذْ نَفْسِي فَلَسْتُ خَيْراً مِنْ آبَائِي». | ٤ 4 |
But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
| وَاضْطَجَعَ وَنَامَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ الشِّيحِ، وَإذَا بِمَلاكٍ يَمَسُّهُ وَيَقُولُ: «قُمْ وَكُلْ». | ٥ 5 |
And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.
| فَتَطَلَّعَ حَوْلَهُ وَإذَا بِهِ يَرَى عِنْدِ رَأْسِهِ رَغِيفاً مَخْبُوزاً عَلَى الجَمْرِ وَجَرَّةَ مَاءٍ. فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ، ثُمَّ عَادَ وَنَامَ. | ٦ 6 |
And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he ate and drank, and laid himself down again.
| وَمَسَّهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ ثَانِيَّةً قَائِلاً: «قُمْ وَكُلْ، لأَنَّ أَمَامَكَ مَسَافَةً طَوِيلَةً لِلسَّفَرِ». | ٧ 7 |
And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
| فَقَامَ وَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ، وَمَشَى بِقُوَّةِ تِلْكَ الْوَجْبَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَاراً وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، حَتَّى بَلَغَ جَبَلَ اللهِ حُورِيبَ. | ٨ 8 |
And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.
| فَدَخَلَ مُغَارَةً هُنَاكَ وَبَاتَ فِيهَا وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لإِيلِيَّا: «مَاذَا تَفْعَلُ هُنَا يَاإِيلِيَّا؟» | ٩ 9 |
And he came there to a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
| فَأَجَابَ: «غِرْتُ غَيْرَةً لِلرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ الْقَدِيرِ، لأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَنَكَّرُوا لِعَهْدِكَ وَهَدَمُوا مَذَابِحَكَ وَقَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَبَقِيتُ وَحْدِي. وَهَا هُمْ يَبْغُونَ قَتْلِي أَيْضاً» | ١٠ 10 |
And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thy altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «اخْرُجْ وَقِفْ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ أَمَامِي، لأَنِّي مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أَعْبُرَ». ثُمَّ هَبَّتْ رِيحٌ عَاتِيَةٌ شَقَّتِ الْجِبَالَ وَحَطَّمَتِ الصُّخُورَ، وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الرِّيحِ. ثُمَّ حَدَثَتْ زَلْزَلَةٌ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ فِي الزَّلْزَلَةِ. | ١١ 11 |
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
| وَبَعْدَ الزَّلْزَلَةِ اجْتَازَتْ بِهِ نَارٌ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ فِي النَّارِ. وَبَعْدَ النَّارِ رَفَّ فِي مَسَامِعِ إِيلِيَّا صَوْتٌ مُنْخَفِضٌ هَامِسٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ إِيلِيَّا الصَّوْتَ، لَفَّ وَجْهَهُ بِرِدَائِهِ، وَخَرَجَ وَوَقَفَ فِي بَابِ الْكَهْفِ. وَإذَا بِصَوْتٍ يُخَاطِبُهُ: «مَاذَا تَفْعَلُ هُنَا يَاإِيلِيَّا؟» | ١٣ 13 |
And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice to him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
| فَأَجَابَ: «غِرْتُ غَيْرَةً لِلرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ الْقَدِيرِ، لأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَنَكَّروا لِعَهْدِكَ وَهَدَمُوا مَذَابِحَكَ وَقَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَبَقِيتُ وَحْدِي، وَهَا هُمْ يَبْغُونَ قَتْلِي». | ١٤ 14 |
And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thy altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «اذْهَبْ رَاجِعاً فِي الطَّرِيقِ الصَّحْرَاوِيَّةِ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ، وَهُنَاكَ امْسَحْ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكاً عَلَى أَرَامَ، | ١٥ 15 |
And the LORD said to him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
| ثُمَّ امْسَحْ يَاهُو بْنَ نِمْشِي مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَذَلِكَ امْسَحْ أَلِيشَعَ بْنَ شَافَاطَ مِنْ آبَلِ مَحُولَةَ نَبِيًّا خَلَفاً لَكَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead.
| فَالَّذِي يَنْجُو مِنْ سَيْفِ حَزَائِيلَ يَقْتُلُهُ يَاهُو، وَالَّذِي يَنْجُو مِنْ سَيْفِ يَاهُو يَقْتُلُهُ أَلِيشَعُ. | ١٧ 17 |
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
| وَلَقَدْ أَبْقَيْتُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ لَمْ يَحْنُوا رُكَبَهُمْ لِلْبَعْلِ وَلَمْ تُقَبِّلْهُ أَفْوَاهُهُمْ». | ١٨ 18 |
Yet I have left to me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
| فَانْطَلَقَ إِيلِيَّا مِنْ هُنَاكَ فَوَجَدَ أَلِيشَعَ بْنَ شَافَاطَ يَحْرُثُ حَقْلاً، وَأَمَامَهُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ زَوْجاً مِنَ الْبَقَرِ، وَهُوَ يَسِيرُ خَلْفَ الزَّوْجِ الثَّانِي عَشَرَ. فَمَرَّ بِهِ إِيلِيَّا وَطَرَحَ عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءَهُ، | ١٩ 19 |
So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
| فَتَرَكَ الْبَقَرَ وَرَكَضَ وَرَاءَ إِيلِيَّا وَقَالَ: «دَعْنِي أُوَدِّعُ أَبِي وَأُمِّي وَأَتْبَعُكَ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ارْجِعْ، فَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ فَعَلْتُهُ لَكَ؟» | ٢٠ 20 |
And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
| فَرَجَعَ أَلِيشَعُ وَأَخَذَ زَوْجَ بَقَرٍ ذَبَحَهُمَا وَسَلَقَ لَحْمَهُمَا عَلَى خَشَبِ الْمِحْرَاثِ وَوَزَّعَهُ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ فَأَكَلُوا، ثُمَّ قَامَ وَلَحِقَ بِإِيلِيَّا وَوَاظَبَ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.
