1 مُلُوك 20
| وَحَشَدَ بَنْهَدَدُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ كُلَّ جَيْشِهِ، بَعْدَ أَنِ انْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ اثْنَانِ وَثَلاثُونَ مَلِكاً بِخَيْلِهِمْ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ، وَحَاصَرَ السَّامِرَةَ عَاصِمَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ 1 |
And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
| ثُمَّ بَعَثَ بَنْهَدَدُ رِسَالَةً إِلَى آخْابَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ تَقُولُ: | ٢ 2 |
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus says Benhadad,
| «لِي كُلُّ فِضَّتِكَ وَذَهَبِكَ وَأَجْمَلُ نِسَائِكَ وَبَنُوكَ الْحِسَانُ». | ٣ 3 |
Your silver and your gold is mine; your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.
| فَأَجَابَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لَكَ مَا طَلَبْتَهُ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ، فَأَنَا وَكُلُّ مَا أَمْلِكُهُ لَكَ». | ٤ 4 |
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to your saying, I am yours, and all that I have.
| فَبَعَثَ بَنْهَدَدُ رِسَالَةً أُخْرَى إِلَى آخْابَ تَقُولُ: «كُنْتُ قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ طَالِباً أَنْ تُقَدِّمَ لِي كُلَّ فِضَّتِكَ وَذَهَبِكَ وَأَجْمَلَ نِسَائِكَ وَبَنِيكَ الْحِسَانَ، | ٥ 5 |
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto you, saying, You shall deliver me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children;
| وَلَكِنِّي أَيْضاً فِي نَحْوِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ غَداً أُرْسِلُ رِجَالِي إِلَيْكَ لِيُفَتِّشُوا قَصْرَكَ وَبُيُوتَ عَبِيدِكَ، لَيَسْتَوْلُوا عَلَى كُلِّ مَا هُوَ نَفِيسٌ». | ٦ 6 |
Yet I will send my servants unto you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in your eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَمِيعَ زُعَمَاءِ الْبِلادِ وَقَالَ: «اعْلَمُوا وَانْظُرُوا أَنَّ بَنْهَدَدَ يَبْغِي الشَّرَّ، فَقَدْ بَعَثَ يَطْلُبُ إِلَيَّ تَسْلِيمَ نِسَائِي وَبَنِيَّ وَفِضَّتِي وَذَهَبِي، فَوَافَقْتُ». | ٧ 7 |
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeks mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ كُلُّ زُعَمَاءِ الْبِلادِ وَسائِرُ الشَّعْبِ: «لا تَسْمَعْ لَهُ وَلا تَخْضَعْ لِطَلَبِهِ». | ٨ 8 |
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
| فَقَالَ آخْابُ لِرُسُلِ بَنْهَدَدَ: «قُولُوا لِسَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ إِنَّنِي مُسْتَعِدٌّ أَنْ أُنَفِّذَ جَمِيعَ مَطَالِبِهِ الأُولَى، أَمَّا الْمَطَالِبُ الثَّانِيَةُ فَلا أَسْتَطِيعُ تَلْبِيَتَهَا». فَرَجَعَ الرُّسُلُ بِجَوَابِهِ إِلَى بَنْهَدَدَ. | ٩ 9 |
Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you did send in order to your servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
| فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بَنْهَدَدُ قَائِلاً: «لِتُعَاقِبْنِي الآلِهَةُ أَشَّدَ عِقَابٍ وَتَزِدْ، إِنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ تُرَابِ السَّامِرَةِ مَا يَكْفِي لِمِلْءِ قَبْضَةِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ رِجَالِي». | ١٠ 10 |
And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
| فَأَجَابَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «قُولُوا لَهُ: لَا يَفْتَخِرُ مَنْ يَشُدُّ دِرْعَهُ كَمَنْ يَحُلُّهُ» (أَي الفَخْرُ يَكُونُ بَعْدَ الْمَعْرَكَةِ لَا قَبْلَهَا). | ١١ 11 |
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girds on his harness boast himself as he that puts it off.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بَنْهَدَدُ هَذَا الْكَلامَ وَهُوَ يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ فِي الْخِيَامِ مَعَ حُلَفَائِهِ الْمُلُوكِ، أَمَرَ رِجَالَهُ أَنْ يَتَأَهَّبُوا لِلْقِتَالِ، فَاسْتَعَدُّوا لِلْهُجُومِ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
| وَإذَا بِنَبِيٍّ يَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَى آخْابَ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: هَلْ تَرَى هَذَا الْجَيْشَ الْغَفِيرَ؟ هَا أَنَا أَنْصُرُكَ عَلَيْهِ الْيَوْمَ، فَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ». | ١٣ 13 |
And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus says the LORD, Have you seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
| فَسَأَلَ آخْابُ: «بِمَنْ يَكُونُ النَّصْرُ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: بِقُوَّاتِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْمُقَاطَعَاتِ» فَعَادَ يَسْأَلُ: «مَنْ يَبْتَدِئُ الْحَرْبَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «أَنْتَ». | ١٤ 14 |
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus says the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, You.
| فَأَحْصَى آخْابُ رِجَالَ رُؤَسَاءِ الْمُقَاطَعَاتِ، فَبَلَغُوا مِئَتَيْنِ وَاثْنَيْنِ وَثَلاثِينَ. ثُمَّ أَحْصَى بَعْدَهُمْ بَقِيَّةَ جَيْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَكَانُوا سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
| وَانْدَفَعُوا عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَبَنْهَدَدُ مُنْهَمِكٌ فِي السُّكْرِ فِي الْخِيَامِ مَعَ حُلَفَائِهِ الْمُلُوكِ الاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ، | ١٦ 16 |
And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
| وَتَقَدَّمَتْ قُوَّاتُ رُؤَسَاءِ الْمُقَاطَعَاتِ أَوَّلاً، فَقَالَ الْمُرَاقِبُونَ لِبَنْهَدَدَ: «رِجَالٌ مِنَ السَّامِرَةِ قَادِمُونَ عَلَيْنَا» | ١٧ 17 |
And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
| فَقَالَ: «اقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ أَحْيَاءَ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ قُدُومُهُمْ لِلْهُدْنَةِ أَوْ لِلْحَرْبِ». | ١٨ 18 |
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
| وَهَكَذَا انْدَفَعَتْ قُوَّاتُ رُؤَسَاءِ الْمُقَاطَعَاتِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَفِي أَعْقَابِهَا تَقَدَّمَ الْجَيْشُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّ | ١٩ 19 |
So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
| وَهَاجَمَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ وَاحِداً مِنْ جَيْشِ الأَرَامِيِّينَ، فَهَرَبَ الأَرَامِيُّونَ، وَلاحَقَهُمُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ. وَتَمَكَّنَ بَنْهَدَدُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ مَعَ بَعْضِ فُرْسَانِهِ مِنَ النَّجَاةِ عَلَى خُيُولِهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
| وَتَقَدَّمَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاقْتَحَمَ الْخَيْلَ وَالْمَرْكَبَاتِ، وَأَنْزَلَ بِالأَرَامِيِّينَ هَزِيمَةً فَادِحَةً. | ٢١ 21 |
And the king of Israel went out, and stroke the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
| وَاقْتَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ مِنْ آخْابَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «اذْهَبْ وَتَأَهَّبْ، وَدَبِّرْ شُؤُونَكَ، وَفَكِّرْ بِمَا تَفْعَلُ، لأَنَّهُ فِي نِهَايَةِ هَذَا الْعَامِ يُهَاجِمُكَ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ، | ٢٢ 22 |
And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.
| لأَنَّ رِجَالَهُ قَدْ قَالُوا لَهُ: إِنَّ آلِهَةَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ آلِهَةُ جِبَالٍ، لِذَلِكَ انْتَصَرُوا هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ حَارَبْنَاهُمْ فِي السَّهْلِ فَإِنَّنَا نَهْزِمُهُمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
| كَمَا اقْتَرَحُوا عَلَيْهِ عَزْلَ الْمُلُوكِ مِنْ قِيَادَةِ الْجُيُوشِ، وَتَعْيِينَ ضُبَّاطٍ بَدَلاً مِنْهُمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
| وَقَالُوا لِبَنْهَدَدَ: جَهِّزْ لِنَفْسِكَ جَيْشاً ضَخْماً، يَكُونُ عَدَدُهُ كَعَدَدِ الْجَيْشِ الَّذِي فَقَدْتَهُ، فَرَساً بِفَرَسٍ وَمَرْكَبَةً بِمَرْكَبَةٍ، فَنُحَارِبَهُمْ فِي السَّهْلِ وَنَقْهَرَهُمْ». فَعَمِلَ بَنْهَدَدُ بِاقْتِرَاحِهِمْ وَرَأْيِهِمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And number you an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
| وَفِي نِهَايَةِ الْعَامِ جَهَّزَ بَنْهَدَدُ جَيْشاً مِنَ الأَرَامِيِّينَ، وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى أَفِيقَ لِيُحَارِبَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
| وَحَشَدَتْ إِسْرَائِيلُ جَيْشَهَا وَجَهَّزَتْ مَؤُونَتَهُ وَتَقَدَّمُوا لِلِقَائِهِمْ، فَكَانُوا بِالْمُقَارَنَةِ بِالأَرَامِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ مَلَأُوا الأَرْضَ نَظِيرَ قَطِيعَيْنِ مِنْ الْمِعْزَى. | ٢٧ 27 |
And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
| فَجَاءَ رَجُلُ اللهِ إِلَى آخْابَ وَقَالَ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّ الأَرَامِيِّينَ قَدِ ادَّعُوا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَهُ جِبَالٍ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ إِلَهُ أَوْدِيَةٍ، فَإِنَّنِي سَأَنْصُرُكَ عَلَى كُلِّ هَذَا الْجَيْشِ الْغَفِيرِ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ». | ٢٨ 28 |
And there came a man of God, and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus says the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and all of you shall know that I am the LORD.
| وَهَكَذَا تَوَاجَهَ الطَّرَفَانِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ دَارَتْ رَحَى الْحَرْبِ، فَقَتَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ مِئَةَ أَلْفٍ مِنْ مُشَاةِ أَرَامَ، | ٢٩ 29 |
And they pitched one opposite to the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
| وَهَرَبَ الأَحْيَاءُ إِلَى دَاخِلِ مَدِينَةِ أَفِيقَ، فَانْهَارَ السُّورُ عَلَى السَّبْعَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ الْبَاقِينَ. أَمَّا بَنْهَدَدُ فَقَدْ لَجَأَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَاخْتَبَأَ فِيهَا فِي مُخْدَعٍ دَاخِلَ مُخْدَعٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ رِجَالُهُ: «لَقَدْ سَمِعْنَا أَنَّ مُلُوكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُلُوكٌ حَلِيمُونَ، فَلْنَرْتَدِ مُسُوحاً حَوْلَ أَحْقَائِنَا، وَنَضَعْ حِبَالاً عَلَى رُؤُوسِنَا، وَنَخْرُجْ إِلَى مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَعَلَّهُ يَعْفُو عَنْكَ». | ٣١ 31 |
And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray you, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: possibly he will save your life.
| فَارْتَدَوْا مُسُوحاً حَوْلَ أَحْقَائِهِمْ، وَوَضَعُوا حِبَالاً عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ، وَمَثَلُوا أَمَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلِينَ: «عَبْدُكَ بَنْهَدَدُ يَرْجُو الْعَفْوَ عَنْ حَيَاتِهِ». فَقَالَ: «أَلا يَزَالُ حَيًّا؟ هُوَ أَخِي!» | ٣٢ 32 |
So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Your servant Benhadad says, I pray you, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
| فَتَفَاءَلَ رِجَالُ بَنْهَدَدَ، وَتَشَبَّثُوا بِالأَمَلِ، وَقَالُوا: «نَعَمْ هُوَ أَخُوكَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ آخْابُ: «اذْهَبُوا وَأَحْضِرُوهُ.» وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلَ، أَصْعَدَهُ مَعَهُ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ، | ٣٣ 33 |
Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Your brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go all of you, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
| فَقَالَ بَنْهَدَدُ: «إِنِّي أَرُدُّ الْمُدُنَ الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا أَبِي مِنْ أَبِيكَ، وَتُقِيمُ لِنَفْسِكَ أَسْوَاقاً تِجَارِيَّةً فِي دِمَشْقَ مُمَاثِلَةً لِلأَسْوَاقِ الَّتِي أَقَامَهَا أَبِي فِي السَّامِرَةِ». فَأَجَابَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «وَبِنَاءً عَلَى هَذَا الْعَهْدِ فَإِنَّنِي أُطْلِقُكَ حُرّاً». فَقَطَعَ لَهُ بَنْهَدَدُ عَهْداً وَأَطْلَقَهُ آخْابُ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from your father, I will restore; and you shall make streets for you in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send you away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
| وَنُزُولاً عِنْدَ أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ لِصَاحِبِهِ: «اضْرِبْنِي بِسَيْفِكَ». فَأَبَى الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَضْرِبَهُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Strike me, I pray you. And the man refused to strike him.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنَّكَ لَمْ تُطِعْ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، فَعِنْدَ انْصِرَافِكَ مِنْ عِنْدِي يَقْتُلُكَ أَسَدٌ». وَحِينَ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ لَقِيَهُ أَسَدٌ وَصَرَعَهُ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Then said he unto him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall slay you. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
| ثُمَّ صَادَفَ النَّبِيُّ رَجُلاً آخَرَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «اضْرِبْنِي». فَضَرَبَهُ وَجَرَحَهُ، | ٣٧ 37 |
Then he found another man, and said, Strike me, I pray you. And the man stroke him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
| فَمَضَى النَّبِيُّ وَاعْتَرَضَ طَرِيقَ الْمَلِكَ مُتَنَكِّراً بِعِصَابَةٍ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
| وَعِنْدَمَا اجْتَازَ آخْابُ أَمَامَهُ نَادَاهُ وَقَالَ: «خَرَجَ عَبْدُكَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ اشْتِدَادِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ، وَإذَا بِرَجُلٍ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيَّ بِأَسِيرٍ، وَقَالَ: احْرُسْ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ، وَإِنْ فُقِدَ تَكُونُ نَفْسُكَ عِوَضَ نَفْسِهِ، أَوْ تَدْفَعُ وَزْنَةً مِنَ الفِضَّةِ (نَحْوَ سِتَّةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً) | ٣٩ 39 |
And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall your life be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.
| وَفِيمَا عَبْدُكَ مُنْهَمِكٌ فِي بَعْضِ الأُمُورِ، اخْتَفَى الأَسِيرُ». فَقَالَ لَهُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِمَا قَضَيْتَ بِهِ». | ٤٠ 40 |
And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall your judgment be; yourself have decided it.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ بَادَرَ النَّبِيُّ فَرَفَعَ الْعِصَابَةَ عَنْ عَيْنَيْهِ فَأَدْرَكَ الْمَلِكُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ بَنِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ. | ٤١ 41 |
And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
| وَقَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ أَبْقَيْتَ عَلَى حَيَاةِ رَجُلٍ قَضَيْتُ بِهَلاكِهِ، فَسَتَمُوتُ بَدَلاً مِنْهُ، وَيَهْلِكُ شَعْبُكَ بَدَلاً مِنْ شَعْبِهِ». | ٤٢ 42 |
And he said unto him, Thus says the LORD, Because you have let go out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
| فَانْصَرَفَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى قَصْرِهِ فِي السَّامِرَةِ مُكْتَئِباً مَغْمُوماً. | ٤٣ 43 |
And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
