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 Nabuthai the Jezraelite had a vineyard, near the threshing floor of Achaab king of Samaria.
| ثُمَّ بَعَثَ بَنْهَدَدُ رِسَالَةً إِلَى آخْابَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ تَقُولُ: | ٢ 2 |
And Achaab spoke to Nabuthai, saying, Give me your vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs, for it [is] near my house: and I will give you another vineyard better than it; or if it please you, I will give you money, the price of this your vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs.
| «لِي كُلُّ فِضَّتِكَ وَذَهَبِكَ وَأَجْمَلُ نِسَائِكَ وَبَنُوكَ الْحِسَانُ». | ٣ 3 |
And Nabuthai said to Achaab, My God forbid me that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.
| فَأَجَابَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لَكَ مَا طَلَبْتَهُ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ، فَأَنَا وَكُلُّ مَا أَمْلِكُهُ لَكَ». | ٤ 4 |
And the spirit of Achaab was troubled, and he lay down upon his bed, and covered his face, and ate no bread.
| 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 Jezabel his wife went in to him, and spoke to him, [saying], Why [is] your spirit troubled, and [why] do you eat no bread?
| وَلَكِنِّي أَيْضاً فِي نَحْوِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ غَداً أُرْسِلُ رِجَالِي إِلَيْكَ لِيُفَتِّشُوا قَصْرَكَ وَبُيُوتَ عَبِيدِكَ، لَيَسْتَوْلُوا عَلَى كُلِّ مَا هُوَ نَفِيسٌ». | ٦ 6 |
And he said to her, Because I spoke to Nabuthai the Jezraelite, saying, Give me your vineyard for money; or if you will, I will give you another vineyard for it: and he said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.
| 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 |
And Jezabel his wife said to him, Do you now thus act the king over Israel? arise, and eat bread, and be your own [master], and I will give you the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ كُلُّ زُعَمَاءِ الْبِلادِ وَسائِرُ الشَّعْبِ: «لا تَسْمَعْ لَهُ وَلا تَخْضَعْ لِطَلَبِهِ». | ٨ 8 |
And she wrote a letter in the name of Achaab, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders, and to the freemen who lived with Nabuthai.
| 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 |
And it was written in the letters, saying, Keep a fast, and set Naboth in a chief place among the people.
| 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 set two men, sons of transgressors, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, He blessed God and the king: and let them lead him forth, and stone him, and let them die.
| فَأَجَابَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «قُولُوا لَهُ: لَا يَفْتَخِرُ مَنْ يَشُدُّ دِرْعَهُ كَمَنْ يَحُلُّهُ» (أَي الفَخْرُ يَكُونُ بَعْدَ الْمَعْرَكَةِ لَا قَبْلَهَا). | ١١ 11 |
And the men of his city, the elders, and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezabel sent to them, and as it had been written in the letters which she sent to them.
| 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 they proclaimed a fast, and set Nebuthai in a chief place among the people.
| 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 two men, sons of transgressors, came in, and sat opposite him, and bore witness against him, saying, You have blessed God and the king. And they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, and he died.
| فَسَأَلَ آخْابُ: «بِمَنْ يَكُونُ النَّصْرُ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: بِقُوَّاتِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْمُقَاطَعَاتِ» فَعَادَ يَسْأَلُ: «مَنْ يَبْتَدِئُ الْحَرْبَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «أَنْتَ». | ١٤ 14 |
And they sent to Jezabel, saying, Nabuthai is stoned, and is dead.
| فَأَحْصَى آخْابُ رِجَالَ رُؤَسَاءِ الْمُقَاطَعَاتِ، فَبَلَغُوا مِئَتَيْنِ وَاثْنَيْنِ وَثَلاثِينَ. ثُمَّ أَحْصَى بَعْدَهُمْ بَقِيَّةَ جَيْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَكَانُوا سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard [it], that she said to Achaab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, who would not sell it to you: for Nebuthai is not alive, for he is dead.
| وَانْدَفَعُوا عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَبَنْهَدَدُ مُنْهَمِكٌ فِي السُّكْرِ فِي الْخِيَامِ مَعَ حُلَفَائِهِ الْمُلُوكِ الاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ، | ١٦ 16 |
And it came to pass, when Achaab heard that Nabuthai the Jezraelite was dead, that he tore his garments, and put on sackcloth. And it came to pass afterward, that Achaab arose and went down to the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, to take possession of it.
| وَتَقَدَّمَتْ قُوَّاتُ رُؤَسَاءِ الْمُقَاطَعَاتِ أَوَّلاً، فَقَالَ الْمُرَاقِبُونَ لِبَنْهَدَدَ: «رِجَالٌ مِنَ السَّامِرَةِ قَادِمُونَ عَلَيْنَا» | ١٧ 17 |
And the Lord spoke to Eliu the Thesbite, saying,
| فَقَالَ: «اقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ أَحْيَاءَ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ قُدُومُهُمْ لِلْهُدْنَةِ أَوْ لِلْحَرْبِ». | ١٨ 18 |
Arise, and go down to meet Achaab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, for he [is] in the vineyard of Nabuthai, for he has gone down there to take possession of it.
| وَهَكَذَا انْدَفَعَتْ قُوَّاتُ رُؤَسَاءِ الْمُقَاطَعَاتِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَفِي أَعْقَابِهَا تَقَدَّمَ الْجَيْشُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّ | ١٩ 19 |
And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says the Lord, Forasmuch as you have slain and taken possession, therefore thus says the Lord, In every place where the swine and the dogs have licked the blood of Nabuthai, there shall the dogs lick your blood; and the harlots shall wash themselves in your blood.
| 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 Achaab said to Eliu, Hast you found me, mine enemy? and he said, I have found [you]: because you have wickedly sold yourself to work evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger;
| وَتَقَدَّمَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاقْتَحَمَ الْخَيْلَ وَالْمَرْكَبَاتِ، وَأَنْزَلَ بِالأَرَامِيِّينَ هَزِيمَةً فَادِحَةً. | ٢١ 21 |
behold, I bring evil upon you: and I will kindle a fire after you, and I will utterly destroy every male of Achaab, and him that is shut up and him that is left in Israel.
| وَاقْتَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ مِنْ آخْابَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «اذْهَبْ وَتَأَهَّبْ، وَدَبِّرْ شُؤُونَكَ، وَفَكِّرْ بِمَا تَفْعَلُ، لأَنَّهُ فِي نِهَايَةِ هَذَا الْعَامِ يُهَاجِمُكَ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ، | ٢٢ 22 |
And I will make your house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa son of Achia, because of the provocations wherewith you have provoked [me], and caused Israel to sin.
| 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 Lord spoke of Jezabel, saying, The dogs shall devour her within the fortification of Jezrael.
| كَمَا اقْتَرَحُوا عَلَيْهِ عَزْلَ الْمُلُوكِ مِنْ قِيَادَةِ الْجُيُوشِ، وَتَعْيِينَ ضُبَّاطٍ بَدَلاً مِنْهُمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Him that is dead of Achaab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that is dead of him in the field shall the birds of the sky eat.
| 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 |
But Achaab [did] wickedly, in that he sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his wife Jezabel led him astray.
| وَفِي نِهَايَةِ الْعَامِ جَهَّزَ بَنْهَدَدُ جَيْشاً مِنَ الأَرَامِيِّينَ، وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى أَفِيقَ لِيُحَارِبَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And he did very abominably in following after the abominations, according to all that the Amorite did, whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
| وَحَشَدَتْ إِسْرَائِيلُ جَيْشَهَا وَجَهَّزَتْ مَؤُونَتَهُ وَتَقَدَّمُوا لِلِقَائِهِمْ، فَكَانُوا بِالْمُقَارَنَةِ بِالأَرَامِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ مَلَأُوا الأَرْضَ نَظِيرَ قَطِيعَيْنِ مِنْ الْمِعْزَى. | ٢٧ 27 |
And because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and tore his garment, and girded sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he struck Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.
| 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 the word of the Lord came by the hand of his servant Eliu concerning Achaab, and the Lord said,
| وَهَكَذَا تَوَاجَهَ الطَّرَفَانِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ دَارَتْ رَحَى الْحَرْبِ، فَقَتَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ مِئَةَ أَلْفٍ مِنْ مُشَاةِ أَرَامَ، | ٢٩ 29 |
Hast you seen how Achaab has been pricked [to the heart] before me? I will not bring on the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring on the evil.
| 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 |
And the son of Ader gathered all his forces, and went up and besieged Samaria, [he] and thirty-two kings with him, and all [his] horse and chariots: and they went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
| 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 he sent into the city to Achaab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says the son of Ader,
| 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 |
Your silver and your gold are mine, and your wives and your children are mine.
| فَتَفَاءَلَ رِجَالُ بَنْهَدَدَ، وَتَشَبَّثُوا بِالأَمَلِ، وَقَالُوا: «نَعَمْ هُوَ أَخُوكَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ آخْابُ: «اذْهَبُوا وَأَحْضِرُوهُ.» وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلَ، أَصْعَدَهُ مَعَهُ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ، | ٣٣ 33 |
And the king of Israel answered and said, As you have said, my lord, O king, I am your, and all mine [also].
| 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 the messengers came again, and said, Thus says the son of Ader, I sent to you, saying, You shall give me your silver and your gold, and your wives and your children.
| وَنُزُولاً عِنْدَ أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ لِصَاحِبِهِ: «اضْرِبْنِي بِسَيْفِكَ». فَأَبَى الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَضْرِبَهُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
For at this time to-morrow I will send my servants to you, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants, and it shall be that all the desirable objects of their eyes on which they shall lay their hands, they shall even take [them].
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنَّكَ لَمْ تُطِعْ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، فَعِنْدَ انْصِرَافِكَ مِنْ عِنْدِي يَقْتُلُكَ أَسَدٌ». وَحِينَ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ لَقِيَهُ أَسَدٌ وَصَرَعَهُ. | ٣٦ 36 |
And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Take notice now and consider, that this man seeks mischief: for he has sent to me concerning my wives, and concerning my sons, an concerning my daughters: I have not kept back from him my silver and my gold.
| ثُمَّ صَادَفَ النَّبِيُّ رَجُلاً آخَرَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «اضْرِبْنِي». فَضَرَبَهُ وَجَرَحَهُ، | ٣٧ 37 |
And the elders and all the people said to him, Listen not, and consent not.
| فَمَضَى النَّبِيُّ وَاعْتَرَضَ طَرِيقَ الْمَلِكَ مُتَنَكِّراً بِعِصَابَةٍ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
And he said to the messengers of the son of Ader, Say to your master, All things that you have sent to your servant about at first I will do; but this thing I shall not be able to do. And the men departed, and carried back the answer to him.
| 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 the son of Ader sent to him, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for foxes to all the people, even my infantry.
| وَفِيمَا عَبْدُكَ مُنْهَمِكٌ فِي بَعْضِ الأُمُورِ، اخْتَفَى الأَسِيرُ». فَقَالَ لَهُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِمَا قَضَيْتَ بِهِ». | ٤٠ 40 |
And the king of Israel answered and said, Let it be sufficient; let not the humpbacked boast as he that is upright.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ بَادَرَ النَّبِيُّ فَرَفَعَ الْعِصَابَةَ عَنْ عَيْنَيْهِ فَأَدْرَكَ الْمَلِكُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ بَنِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ. | ٤١ 41 |
And it came to pass when he returned him this answer, he and all the kings with him were drinking in tents: and he said to his servants, Form a trench. And they made a trench against the city.
| وَقَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ أَبْقَيْتَ عَلَى حَيَاةِ رَجُلٍ قَضَيْتُ بِهَلاكِهِ، فَسَتَمُوتُ بَدَلاً مِنْهُ، وَيَهْلِكُ شَعْبُكَ بَدَلاً مِنْ شَعْبِهِ». | ٤٢ 42 |
And, behold, a prophet came to Achaab king of Israel, and said, Thus says the Lord, Hast you seen this great multitude? behold, I give it this day into your hands; and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
| فَانْصَرَفَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى قَصْرِهِ فِي السَّامِرَةِ مُكْتَئِباً مَغْمُوماً. | ٤٣ 43 |
And Achaab said, Whereby? And he said, Thus says the Lord, by the young men of the heads of the districts. And Achaab said, Who shall begin the battle? and he said, You.
