2 مُلُوك 7
| ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «اسْمَعُوا مَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: غَداً فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ تُصْبِحُ كَيْلَةُ الدَّقِيقِ بِشَاقِلَ (اثْنَيْ عَشْرَ جِرَاماً مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ)، وَكَيْلَتَا الشَّعِيرِ بِشَاقِلَ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ السَّامِرَةِ». | ١ 1 |
And Elisha said: 'Hear ye the word of the LORD; thus saith the LORD: To-morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'
| فَقَالَ الْجُنْدِيُّ الَّذِي كَانَ الْمَلِكُ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ لِرَجُلِ اللهِ: «حَتَّى إِنْ فَتَحَ الرَّبُّ كُوىً فِي السَّمَاءِ، فَهَلْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ؟» فَأَجَابَ أَلِيشَعُ: «سَتَرَى ذَلِكَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ، وَلَكِنَّكَ لَنْ تَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ». | ٢ 2 |
Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said: 'Behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might this thing be?' And he said: 'Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.'
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ أَرْبَعَةُ رِجَالٍ بُرْصٍ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ لِرِفَاقِهِ: «مَا بَالُنَا نَجْلِسُ حَتَّى نَمُوتَ جُوعاً؟ | ٣ 3 |
Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said one to another: 'Why sit we here until we die?
| إِنْ قُلْنَا لِنَدْخُلْ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، فَالْجُوعُ فِيهَا، وَسَنَمُوتُ. وَإِنْ مَكَثْنَا هُنَا نَمُوتُ أَيْضاً. فَهَيَّا بِنَا نَلْجَأُ إِلَى مُعَسْكَرِ الأَرَامِيِّينَ، فَإِنِ اسْتَحْيَوْنَا عِشْنَا، وَإِنْ قَتَلُونَا مُتْنَا». | ٤ 4 |
If we say: We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Arameans; if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.'
| فَانْطَلَقُوا فِي الْمَسَاءِ إِلَى مُعَسْكَرِ الأَرَامِيِّينَ. وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغُوا أَطْرَافَ الْمُعَسْكَرِ لَمْ يَجِدُوا هُنَاكَ أَحَداً. | ٥ 5 |
And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Arameans; and when they were come to the outermost part of the camp of the Arameans, behold, there was no man there.
| فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ جَعَلَ جَيْشَ أَرَامَ يَسْمَعُ صَلْصَلَةَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ، وَصَوْتَ وَقْعِ حَوَافِرِ خَيْلٍ، وَجَلَبَةَ جَيْشٍ كَثِيفٍ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ للآخَرِ: «لابُدَّ أَنَّ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ اسْتَأْجَرَ ضِدَّنَا جُيُوشَ الْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْمِصْرِيِّينَ لِيَنْقَضُّوا عَلَيْنَا». | ٦ 6 |
For the Lord had made the host of the Arameans to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host; and they said one to another: 'Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.'
| فَفَرُّوا هَارِبِينَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ، مُخَلِّفِينَ وَرَاءَهُمْ خِيَامَهُمْ وَخُيُولَهُمْ وَحَمِيرَهُمْ، تَارِكِينَ الْمُعَسْكَرَ عَلَى حَالِهِ، وَفَرُّوا نَاجِينَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ. | ٧ 7 |
Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
| وَدَخَلَ هَؤُلاءِ الْبُرْصُ إِحْدَى الْخِيَامِ فِي أَطْرَافِ الْمُعَسْكَرِ، فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى مَا فِيهَا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَثِيَابٍ، ثُمَّ طَمَرُوهَا. وَرَجَعُوا وَدَخَلُوا إِلَى خَيْمَةٍ أُخْرَى وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى مَا فِيهَا أَيْضاً وَطَمَرُوهُ. | ٨ 8 |
And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «إِنَّنَا نُخْطِئُ فِيمَا نَفْعَلُ. فَالْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ بِشَارَةٍ وَنَحْنُ سَاكِتُونَ، فَإِنِ انْتَظَرْنَا طُلُوعَ الْفَجْرِ وَلَمْ نُخْبِرْ يَنَالُنَا الْعِقَابُ. فَلْنَدْخُلِ الْمَدِينَةَ وَنُخْبِرْ رِجَالَ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ». | ٩ 9 |
Then they said one to another: 'We do not well; this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace; if we tarry till the morning light, punishment will overtake us; now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household.'
| فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالُوا لِلْبَوَّابِ: «لَقَدْ دَخَلْنَا مُعَسْكَرَ الأَرَامِيِّينَ فَلَمْ نَجِدْ فِيهِ أَحَداً، وَلَمْ نَسْمَعْ فِي أَرْجَائِهِ صَوْتَ إِنْسَانٍ. وَلَكِنَّنَا رَأَيْنَا خَيْلاً وَحَمِيراً مَا بَرِحَتْ مَرْبُوطَةً فِي مَرَابِضِهَا، وَخِيَاماً لَا تَزَالُ مَنْصُوبَةً». | ١٠ 10 |
So they came and called unto the porters of the city; and they told them, saying. 'We came to the camp of the Arameans, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were.'
| فَأَذَاعَ الْبَوَّابُونَ النَّبَأَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ قَصْرَ الْمَلِكِ. | ١١ 11 |
And the porters called, and they told it to the king's household within.
| فَنَهَضَ الْمَلِكُ لَيْلاً وَقَالَ لِضُبَّاطِهِ: «لأُخْبِرَنَّكُمْ مَا صَنَعَ الأَرَامِيُّونَ! لَقَدْ أَدْرَكُوا أَنَّنَا نَتَضَوَّرُ جُوعاً، فَهَجَرُوا الْمُعَسْكَرَ لِيَخْتَبِئُوا فِي الْحُقُولِ، حَتَّى إِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ يَنْقَضُّونَ عَلَيْنَا وَيَأْسِرُونَنَا أَحْيَاءَ وَيَسْتَوْلُونَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ». | ١٢ 12 |
And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants: 'I will now tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying: When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.'
| فَأَجَابَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الضُّبَّاطِ وَقَالَ: «لِيَأْخُذْ بَعْضٌ مِنَّا خَمْسَةً مِنَ الْخَيْلِ الْبَاقِيَةِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ. فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُمْ شَرٌّ يَكُونُونَ نَظِيرَ بَقِيَّةِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ الْمُعْتَصِمِينَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، أَوْ نَظِيرَ مَنْ هَلَكُوا مِنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ. فَلْنُرْسِلْ وَنَسْتَطْلِعِ الأَمْرَ». | ١٣ 13 |
And one of his servants answered and said: 'Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city — behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are consumed — and let us send and see.'
| فَأَعَدُّوا مَرْكَبَتَيْ خَيْلٍ انْطَلَقَتَا بِمَنْ فِيهِمَا مِنْ رِجَالٍ أَرْسَلَهُمُ الْمَلِكُ خَلْفَ الأَرَامِيِّينَ. | ١٤ 14 |
They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the host of the Arameans, saying: 'Go and see.'
| فَاقْتَفَوْا أَثَرَهُمْ إِلَى نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَإذَا كُلُّ الطَّرِيقِ مَمْلُوءَةٌ ثِيَاباً وَأَمْتِعَةً مِمَّا طَرَحَهَا الأَرَامِيُّونَ عِنْدَ فِرَارِهِمِ الْمُفَاجِئِ السَّرِيعِ. فَرَجَعَ الرُّسُلُ وَأَخْبَرُوا الْمَلِكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And they went after them unto the Jordan; and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Arameans had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
| فَانْدَفَعَ الشَّعْبُ نَحْوَ مُعَسْكَرِ الأَرَاميِّينَ وَنَهَبُوهُ، وَصَارَتْ كَيْلَةُ الدَّقِيقِ بِشَاقِلٍ، وَكَيْلَتَا الشَّعِيرِ بِشَاقِلٍ (اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ جِرَاماً مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ)، حَسَبَ كَلامِ الرَّبِّ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the people went out, and spoiled the camp of the Arameans. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
| وَعَيَّنَ الْمَلِكُ عَلَى مَدْخَلِ بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ الْجُنْدِيَّ الَّذِي كَانَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ، فَدَاسَهُ الشَّعْبُ فِي الزَّحَامِ وَمَاتَ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ كَمَا تَنَبَّأَ أَلِيشَعُ فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِقِ عِنْدَمَا جَاءَهُ الْمَلِكُ لِيَقْبِضَ عَلَيْهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
And the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate; and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
| فَعِنْدَمَا قَالَ رَجُلُ اللهِ لِلْمَلِكِ: «غَداً فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ تَكُونُ كَيْلَتَا الْشَعِيرِ بِشَاقِلٍ وَكَيلَةُ الدَقِيقِ بِشَاقِلٍ فِي مَدَخَلِ بَوَّابَةِ السَّامِرَةِ». | ١٨ 18 |
And it came to pass, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying: 'Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to-morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria';
| وَلَكِنَّ الْجُنْدِيَّ قَالَ لِرَجُلِ اللهِ: «حَتَّى إنْ فَتَحَ الرَّبُّ كُوىً فِي السَّمَاءِ فَهَلْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ أَلِيشَعُ: «سَتَرَى ذَلِكَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّكَ لَنْ تَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ». | ١٩ 19 |
and that captain answered the man of God, and said: 'Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?' and he said: 'Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof';
| فَتَحَقَّقَتِ النُّبُوءَةُ إِذْ دَاسَهُ الشَّعْبُ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ فَمَاتَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
it came to pass even so unto him; for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died.
