< 2 مُلُوك 2 >

وَعِنْدَمَا أَزْمَعَ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يَنْقُلَ إِيلِيَّا فِي الْعَاصِفَةِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، ذَهَبَ إِيلِيَّا وَأَلِيشَعُ مِنَ الْجِلْجَالِ. ١ 1
It happened, when the LORD would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
فَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا لأَلِيشَعَ: «امْكُثْ هُنَا لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَوْفَدَنِي إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ». فَأَجَابَ أَلِيشَعُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». فَانْطَلَقَا مَعاً إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ. ٢ 2
Elijah said to Elisha, "Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel." Elisha said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
فَخَرَجَ بَنُو الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ لِلِقَاءِ أَلِيشَعَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَلْ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيَأْخُذُ الْيَوْمَ مِنْكَ سَيِّدَكَ إِيلِيَّا؟» فَأَجَابَ: «نَعَمْ، إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ، فَاصْمُتُوا». ٣ 3
The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from your head today?" He said, "Yes, I know it; hold your peace."
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ إِيلِيَّا: «يَا أَلِيشَعُ، امْكُثْ هُنَا لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَوْفَدَنِي إِلَى أَرِيحَا». فَأَجَابَهُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». فَتَوَجَّهَا نَحْوَ أَرِيحَا. ٤ 4
Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho.
وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَاهَا تَقَدَّمَ بَنُو الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي أَرِيحَا مِنْ أَلِيشَعَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيَأْخُذُ الْيَوْمَ مِنْكَ سَيِّدَكَ إِيلِيَّا؟» فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ، إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ فَاصْمُتُوا». ٥ 5
The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold your peace."
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ إِيلِيَّا: «امْكُثْ هُنَا لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَوْفَدَنِي إِلَى الأُرْدُنِّ». فَأَجَابَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». فَانْطَلَقَا مَعاً. ٦ 6
Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both went on.
وَرَافَقَهُمَا خَمْسُونَ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ إِلَى حَيْثُ كَانَا يَقِفَانِ إِلَى جُوَارِ الأُرْدُنِّ. وَتَوَقَّفُوا تُجَاهَهُمَا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. ٧ 7
Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
فَتَنَاوَلَ إِيلِيَّا رِدَاءَهُ وَطَوَاهُ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِهِ الْمَاءَ، فَانْفَلَقَ النَّهْرُ إِلَى شَطْرَيْنِ، فَاجْتَازَا فَوْقَ الْيَابِسَةِ. ٨ 8
Elijah took his cloak, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them went over on dry ground.
وَلَمَّا عَبَرَا قَالَ إِيلِيَّا لأَلِيشَعَ: «اطْلُبْ مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ لَكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُؤخَذَ مِنْكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ أَلِيشَعُ: «لِيَحِلَّ عَلَيَّ ضِعْفُ مَا لَدَيْكَ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ». ٩ 9
It happened, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me."
فَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا: «لَقَدْ طَلَبْتَ أَمْراً صَعْباً، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ رَأَيْتَنِي وَأَنَا أُؤخَذُ مِنْكَ تَنَلْ سُؤْلَكَ، وَإلَّا فَلَنْ تَحْصُلَ عَلَى مَا طَلَبْتَ». ١٠ 10
He said, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."
وَفِيمَا هُمَا يَسِيرَانِ وَيَتَجَاذَبَانِ أَطْرَافَ الْحَدِيثِ، فَصَلَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا مَرْكَبَةٌ مِنْ نَارٍ تَجُرُّهَا خُيُولٌ نَارِيَّةٌ، نَقَلَتْ إِيلِيَّا فِي الْعَاصِفَةِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ. ١١ 11
It happened, as they still went on, and talked, that look, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
وَرَأَى أَلِيشَعُ مَا جَرَى فَأَخَذَ يَهْتِفُ: «يَا أَبِي، يَا أَبِي، يَا مَرْكَبَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفُرْسَانَهَا». وَغَابَ إِيلِيَّا عَنْ عَيْنَيْهِ، فَأَمْسَكَ ثِيَابَهُ وَمَزَّقَهَا قِطْعَتَيْنِ، ١٢ 12
Elisha saw it, and he cried, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen." He saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces.
ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رِدَاءَ إِيلِيَّا الَّذِي سَقَطَ مِنْهُ وَتَوَجَّهَ نَحْوَ ضَفَّةِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، ١٣ 13
And he picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
وَضَرَبَ بِهِ الْمَاءَ هَاتِفاً: «أَيْنَ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِيلِيَّا؟» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الْمَاءَ ثَانِيَةً، فَانْفَلَقَ النَّهْرُ إِلَى شَطْرَيْنِ مُتَقَابِلَيْنِ، فَاجْتَازَ أَلِيشَعُ نَحْوَ الضَّفَّةِ الأُخْرَى. ١٤ 14
And he took the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the water, and it did not divide. And he said, "Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah, even he?" And he struck the water a second time, and they divided to the one side and to the other; and Elisha crossed over.
وَلَمَّا شَاهَدَهُ بَنُو الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي أَرِيحَا قَادِماً نَحْوَهُمْ قَالُوا: «إِنَّ رُوحَ إِيلِيَّا قَدِ اسْتَقَرَّتْ عَلَى أَلِيشَعَ». فَأَقْبَلُوا لِلِقَائِهِ وَانْحَنَوْا أَمَامَهُ. ١٥ 15
When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «إِنَّ بَيْنَ عَبِيدِكَ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلاً مِنْ ذَوِي الْبَأْسِ، فَدَعْهُمْ يَذْهَبُونَ لِلْبَحْثِ عَنْ سَيِّدِكَ. لَعَلَّ رُوحَ الرَّبِّ حَمَلَهُ وَطَرَحَهُ عَلَى أَحَدِ الْجِبَالِ أَوْ فِي أَحَدِ الأَوْدِيَةِ». فَأَجَابَ: «لا تُرْسِلُوا أَحَداً». ١٦ 16
And they said to him, "See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and thrown him into the Jordan, or on some mountain, or into some valley." And he said, "Do not send them."
فَأَلَحُّوا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى اعْتَرَاهُ الْخَجَلُ فَأَذْعَنَ لَهُمْ، فَأَوْفَدُوا خَمْسِينَ رَجُلاً ظَلُّوا يَبْحَثُونَ عَنْهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ دُونَ جَدْوَى. ١٧ 17
When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send them." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched for three days, but did not find him.
وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِ فِي أَرِيحَا قَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَمَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ لَا تَبْحَثُوا عَنْهُ؟» ١٨ 18
They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
وَقَالَ رِجَالُ مَدِينَةِ أَرِيحَا لأَلِيشَعَ: «هُوَذَا الْمَدِينَةُ كَمَا تَرَى ذَاتُ مَوْقِعٍ جَيِّدٍ، أَمَّا الْمِيَاهُ فَرَدِيئَةٌ وَالأَرْضُ مُجْدِبَةٌ». ١٩ 19
The men of the city said to Elisha, "Look, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land miscarries."
فَقَالَ: «أَحْضِرُوا لِي صَحْناً، وَضَعُوا فِيهِ مِلْحاً». فَأَتَوْا إِلَيْهِ بِمَا طَلَبَ. ٢٠ 20
He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him.
فَاتَّجَهَ نَحْوَ نَبْعِ الْمَاءِ وَطَرَحَ فِيهِ الْمِلْحَ، وَقَالَ: «هَذَا مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ: لَقَدْ أَبْرَأْتُ هَذِهِ الْمِيَاهَ فَلَنْ تُسَبِّبَ الْمَوْتَ أَوِ الْجَدْبَ بَعْدَ الآنَ». ٢١ 21
He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'"
فَبَرِئَتِ الْمِيَاهُ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، كَمَا أَنْبَأَ أَلِيشَعُ. ٢٢ 22
So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَفِيمَا هُوَ سَائِرٌ فِي طَرِيقِهِ خَرَجَ بَعْضُ الْفِتْيَانِ الصِّغَارِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَشَرَعُوا يَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُ قَائِلِينَ: «اصْعَدْ (فِي الْعَاصِفَةِ) يَا أَقْرَعُ!» ٢٣ 23
He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, you baldy. Go up, you baldhead."
فَالْتَفَتَ وَرَاءَهُ وَتَفَرَّسَ فِيهِمْ، ثُمَّ دَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. فَخَرَجَتْ دُبَّتَانِ مِنَ الْغَابَةِ وَالْتَهَمَتَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ فَتىً. ٢٤ 24
He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.
وَانْطَلَقَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى جَبَلِ الْكَرْمَلِ وَمِنْهُ رَجَعَ إِلَى السَّامِرَةِ. ٢٥ 25
He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
