1 مُلُوك 19
| وَأَخْبَرَ آخْابُ إِيزَابِلَ بِمَا صَنَعَهُ إِيلِيَّا، وَكَيْفَ قَتَلَ جَمِيعَ أَنْبِيَاءِ الْبَعْلِ بِالسَّيْفِ، | ١ 1 |
Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed 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 don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!”
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ إِيلِيَّا ذَلِكَ هَرَبَ لِيَنْجُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَوَصَلَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ التَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُوذَا، حَيْثُ تَرَكَ خَادِمَهُ. | ٣ 3 |
When he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs 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. Then 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 |
He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, 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 |
He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.
| وَمَسَّهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ ثَانِيَّةً قَائِلاً: «قُمْ وَكُلْ، لأَنَّ أَمَامَكَ مَسَافَةً طَوِيلَةً لِلسَّفَرِ». | ٧ 7 |
The LORD’s angel came again the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”
| فَقَامَ وَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ، وَمَشَى بِقُوَّةِ تِلْكَ الْوَجْبَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَاراً وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، حَتَّى بَلَغَ جَبَلَ اللهِ حُورِيبَ. | ٨ 8 |
He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, God’s Mountain.
| فَدَخَلَ مُغَارَةً هُنَاكَ وَبَاتَ فِيهَا وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لإِيلِيَّا: «مَاذَا تَفْعَلُ هُنَا يَاإِيلِيَّا؟» | ٩ 9 |
He came to a cave there, and camped there; and behold, the LORD’s word came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing 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 |
He said, “I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even 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 |
He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” Behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was 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 |
After the earthquake a fire passed; but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire, there was 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 |
When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing 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 |
He said, “I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even 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 |
The LORD said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, 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 |
Anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
| فَالَّذِي يَنْجُو مِنْ سَيْفِ حَزَائِيلَ يَقْتُلُهُ يَاهُو، وَالَّذِي يَنْجُو مِنْ سَيْفِ يَاهُو يَقْتُلُهُ أَلِيشَعُ. | ١٧ 17 |
He who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.
| وَلَقَدْ أَبْقَيْتُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ لَمْ يَحْنُوا رُكَبَهُمْ لِلْبَعْلِ وَلَمْ تُقَبِّلْهُ أَفْوَاهُهُمْ». | ١٨ 18 |
Yet I reserved seven thousand in Israel, all the knees of which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has 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 ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. Elijah went over to him and put his mantle on him.
| فَتَرَكَ الْبَقَرَ وَرَكَضَ وَرَاءَ إِيلِيَّا وَقَالَ: «دَعْنِي أُوَدِّعُ أَبِي وَأُمِّي وَأَتْبَعُكَ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ارْجِعْ، فَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ فَعَلْتُهُ لَكَ؟» | ٢٠ 20 |
Elisha left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, “Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” He said to him, “Go back again; for what have I done to you?”
| فَرَجَعَ أَلِيشَعُ وَأَخَذَ زَوْجَ بَقَرٍ ذَبَحَهُمَا وَسَلَقَ لَحْمَهُمَا عَلَى خَشَبِ الْمِحْرَاثِ وَوَزَّعَهُ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ فَأَكَلُوا، ثُمَّ قَامَ وَلَحِقَ بِإِيلِيَّا وَوَاظَبَ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, killed them, and boiled their meat with the oxen’s equipment, and gave to the people; and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.
