2 أخبار 10
| وَذَهَبَ رَحُبْعَامُ إِلَى شَكِيمَ، فَتَوَافَدَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ جَمِيعُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ لِيُنَصِّبُوهُ مَلِكاً. | ١ 1 |
And Rehobo'am went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
| فَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَبَاطَ وَهُوَ فِي مِصْرَ، الَّتِي لَجَأَ إِلَيْهَا هَرَباً مِنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمَلِكِ، رَجَعَ مِنْهَا. | ٢ 2 |
And it came to pass, when Jerobo'am the son of Nebat heard of it, for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, that Jerobo'am returned out of Egypt.
| فَأَرْسَلُوا يَسْتَدْعُونَهُ، فَجَاءَ يَرُبْعَامُ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالُوا لِرَحُبْعَامَ: | ٣ 3 |
And they sent and called him: and so came Jerobo'am with all Israel and spoke to Rehobo'am, saying,
| «إِنَّ أَبَاكَ قَدْ أَثْقَلَ النِّيرَ عَلَيْنَا، فَخَفِّفْ أَنْتَ الآنَ مِنْ عِبْءِ عُبُودِيَّةِ أَبِيكَ وَثِقَلِ نِيرِهِ الَّذِي وَضَعَهُ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْدُمَكَ». | ٤ 4 |
Thy father made our yoke hard; but now do thou make lighter the hard service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
| فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «ارْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ بَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ». فَانْصَرَفُوا. | ٥ 5 |
And he said unto them, After but three days, then return unto me. And the people went away.
| وَاسْتَشَارَ رَحُبْعَامُ الشُّيُوخَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا فِي خِدْمَةِ أَبِيهِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَائِلاً: «بِمَاذَا تُشِيرُونَ عَلَيَّ لأَرُدَّ جَوَاباً عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ؟» | ٦ 6 |
Then consulted king Rehobo'am with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do you advise that I should return an answer to this people?
| فَأَجَابُوهُ: «إِنْ تَرَأَّفْتَ عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ وَرَاعَيْتَهُ وَأَحْسَنْتَ مُخَاطَبَتَهُ، يُصْبِحُ لَكَ عَبْداً كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ». | ٧ 7 |
And they spoke unto him, saying, If thou wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak to them good words: then will they be servants unto thee for all times.
| وَلَكِنَّهُ أَهْمَلَ مَشُورَةَ الشُّيُوخِ، وَتَدَاوَلَ مَعَ الشَّبَابِ الَّذِينَ نَشَأُوا مَعَهُ وَكَانُوا مِنْ جُمْلَةِ حَاشِيَتِهِ، | ٨ 8 |
But he forsook the counsel which the old men had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and who stood before him.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «بِمَاذَا تُشِيرُونَ أَنْتُمْ، فَنَرُدَّ جَوَاباً عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي طَالَبَنِي أَنْ أُخَفِّفَ مِنَ النِّيرِ الَّذِي أَثْقَلَ بِهِ أَبِي كَاهِلَهُمْ؟» | ٩ 9 |
And he said unto them, How do you counsel how we should give an answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make lighter the yoke which thy father did put upon us?
| فَأَجَابُوهُ: «هَذَا مَا تَقُولُهُ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ خِنْصَرِي أَغْلَظُ مِنْ وَسْطِ أَبِي! | ١٠ 10 |
Then spoke with him the young men that were grown up with him, saying, Thus must thou say unto the people that have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but do thou make it lighter unto us: thus must thou say unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.
| أَبِي أَثْقَلَ عَلَيْكُمُ النِّيرَ وَأَنَا أَزيِدُ عَلَيْهِ. أَبِي أَدَّبَكُمْ بِالسِّيَاطِ وَأَنَا أُؤَدِّبُكُمْ بِالْعَقَارِبِ». | ١١ 11 |
And now [if] my father hath burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: [if] my father hath chastised you with whips, then will I [do it] with scorpion-thorns.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ مَثَلَ يَرُبْعَامُ وَسَائِرُ الشَّعْبِ أَمَامَ رَحُبْعَامَ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُمُ الْمَلِكُ. | ١٢ 12 |
When now Jerobo'am and all the people came to Rehobo'am on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, Return to me on the third day:
| فَأَجَابَهُمْ بِقَسْوَةٍ لأَنَّهُ تَجَاهَلَ مَشُورَةَ الشُّيُوخِ، الَّتِي أَسْدَوْهَا إِلَيْهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
The king answered them harshly; and king Rehobo'am forsook the counsel of the old men;
| وَخَاطَبَهُمْ بِمَا أَشَارَ عَلَيْهِ بِهِ الشَّبَابُ قَائِلاً: «أَبِي ثَقَّلَ عَلَيْكُمُ النِّيرَ وَأَنَا أَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ. أَبِي أَدَّبَكُمْ بِالسِّيَاطِ، وَأَنَا أُؤَدِّبُكُمْ بِالْعَقَارِبِ». | ١٤ 14 |
And he spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add thereto; my father chastised you with whips, but I will [do it] with scorpion-thorns.
| وَرَفَضَ الْمَلِكُ الاسْتِجَابَةَ لِمَطَالِبِ الشَّعْبِ، وَكَانَ السَّبَبُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ لِيَتِمَّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ أَخِيَّا الشِّيلُونِيِّ بِشَأْنِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was so brought about from God, in order that the Lord might fulfill his word, which he had spoken by means of Achiyahu the Shilonite unto Jerobo'am the son of Nebat.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى كُلُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ الْمَلِكَ لَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لِمَطَالِبِهِمْ، قَالُوا: «أَيُّ نَصِيبٍ لَنَا فِي دَاوُدَ، وَأَيُّ حَظٍّ لَنَا فِي ابْنِ يَسَّى؟ فَلْيَمْضِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، وَاعْتَنِ الآنَ بِبَيْتِكَ يَا دَاوُدُ». وَانْصَرَفَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ عَنْهُ إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? nor have we an inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel; now, see to thy own house, David. So did all Israel go to their tents.
| أَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي مُدُنِ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا فَمَلَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَحُبْعَامُ. | ١٧ 17 |
But as for the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, over them did Rehobo'am reign.
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ هَدُورَامَ الْمُوَكَّلَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ التَّسْخِيرِ إِلَى أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، رَجَمُوهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ فَمَاتَ. فَبَادَرَ الْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ وَاسْتَقَلَّ مَرْكَبَتَهُ هَارِباً إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Then sent king Rehobo'am Hadoram who was over the tribute; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehobo'am made speed with his might to get upon his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
| وَهَكَذَا تَمَرَّدَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ عَلَى حُكْمِ ذُرِّيَّةِ دَاوُدَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ١٩ 19 |
So did Israel rebel against the house of David unto this day.
