2 مُلُوك 9
| وَاسْتَدْعَى أَلِيشَعُ النَّبِيُّ أَحَدَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «تَمَنْطَقْ بِحِزَامِكَ وَخُذْ قِنِّينَةَ الزَّيْتِ مَعَكَ، وَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ. | ١ 1 |
Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and told him, “Put your cloak into your belt, take this flask of olive oil, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
| وَحَالَمَا تَصِلُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ ابْحَثْ عَنْ يَاهُو بْنِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ بْنِ نِمْشِي، وَانْتَحِ بِهِ فِي مُخْدَعٍ دَاخِلِيٍّ، | ٢ 2 |
Once you get there, look for Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi. Go in, get him away from his companions, and take him to an inner room. Get him to leave his friends, lead him to a private room,
| وَصُبَّ مِنْ قِنِّينَةِ الزَّيْتِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: قَدِ اخْتَرْتُكَ لِتَكُونَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. ثُمَّ افْتَحِ الْبَابَ وَأَسْرِعْ بِالْهَرَبِ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَوَانٍ». | ٣ 3 |
take the flask of olive oil, and pour it on his head. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away! Don't wait around!”
| فَمَضَى النَّبِيُّ الشَّابُّ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ، | ٤ 4 |
So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead.
| وَدَخَلَ حَيْثُ كَانَ الْقَادَةُ جُلُوساً. فَقَالَ: «لِي حَدِيثٌ خَاصٌّ مَعَكَ أَيُّهَا الْقَائِدُ» فَسَأَلَهُ يَاهُو: «مَعَ أَيِّ قَائِدٍ مِنَّا؟» فَأَجَابَ: «مَعَكَ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الْقَائِدُ». | ٥ 5 |
When he arrived, he saw the army commanders sitting around. “I've got a message for you, commander,” he said. “For which one of us?” Jehu asked. “For you, commander,” he replied.
| فَنَهَضَ وَتَبِعَهُ إِلَى مُخْدَعٍ دَاخِلِيٍّ، حَيْثُ صَبَّ النَّبِيُّ الزَّيْتَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: قَدِ اخْتَرْتُكَ لِتَكُونَ مَلِكاً عَلَى شَعْبِ الرَّبِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٦ 6 |
Jehu got up and went inside, where the young prophet poured the olive oil on his head and announced to him, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you king over the Lord's people Israel.
| فَتَقْضِي عَلَى بَيْتِ آخْابَ سَيِّدِكَ وَتَنْتَقِمُ لِدِمَاءِ عَبِيدِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَدِمَاءِ جَمِيعِ أَتْقِيَاءِ الرَّبِّ مِنْ إِيزَابِل، | ٧ 7 |
You are going to destroy the family of Ahab, your master. You will avenge the blood my prophets and the blood of all the Lord's servants killed by Jezebel.
| وَبِذَلِكَ تُفْنِي كُلَّ بَيْتِ آخْابَ، وَتَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنْ بَيْتِ آخْابَ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ، حُرّاً كَانَ أَمْ عَبْداً. | ٨ 8 |
The whole house of Ahab will be eradicated—I will destroy all the males of Ahab's family in Israel, both slave and free.
| وَتَجْعَلُ مَصِيرَ بَيْتِ آخْابَ كَمَصِيرِ بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، وَكَمَصِيرِ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا بْنِ أَخِيَّا. | ٩ 9 |
I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, son of Ahijah.
| وَتَلْتَهِمُ الْكِلابُ إِيزَابِلَ فِي حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ، وَلَنْ تَجِدَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُهَا». ثُمَّ فَتَحَ الْبَابَ وَلاذَ بِالْفِرَارِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Dogs will eat Jezebel, Ahab's wife, at the plot of ground in Jezreel, and no one will bury her.” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran away.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعَ يَاهُو إِلَى حَيْثُ يَجْتَمِعُ رِجَالُ سَيِّدِهِ سُئِلَ: «أَخَيْرٌ؟ لِمَاذَا جَاءَكَ هَذَا الْمَجْنُونُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ الرَّجُلَ وَمَا يَهْذِي بِهِ». | ١١ 11 |
When Jehu went back out to the other officers of his master, they asked him, “Is everything fine? Why did this crazy man come to you?” “You know what he's like, and how he goes on and on,” he replied.
| فَقَالُوا: «هَذَا لَيْسَ صَحِيحاً. أَخْبِرْنَا الصِّدْقَ». فَقَالَ: «إِلَيْكُمْ مَا خَاطَبَنِي بِهِ: قَالَ: هَذَا مَا صَدَرَ عَنِ الرَّبِّ: قَدِ اخْتَرْتُكَ لِتَكُونَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١٢ 12 |
“Liar!” they said. “Please tell us what's going on.” “Well, he talked to me about this and that, and he told me, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king over Israel.’”
| فَبَادَرَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ وَفَرَشَ ثَوْبَهُ فَوْقَ دَرَجَاتِ السُّلَّمِ حَيْثُ كَانَ يَقِفُ، وَنَفَخُوا بِالأَبْوَاقِ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ مَلَكَ يَاهُو». | ١٣ 13 |
They quickly grabbed their cloaks and spread them on the bare steps. They blew the trumpet and shouted, “Jehu is king!”
| وَهَكَذَا تَمَرَّدَ يَاهُو بْنُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ بْنِ نِمْشِي عَلَى يُورَامَ. وَكَانَ يُورَامُ مَعَ سَائِرِ جَيْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُدَافِعُونَ عَنْ رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ ضِدَّ هَجَمَاتِ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ. | ١٤ 14 |
So Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, plotted rebellion against Joram. Joram and the whole Israelite army had been defending Ramoth-Gilead against Hazael, king of Aram.
| وَكَانَ يَهُورَامُ الْمَلِكُ قَدْ لَجَأَ إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ رَيْثَمَا يَبْرَأُ مِنَ الْجِرَاحِ الَّتِي أَصَابَهُ بِها الأَرَامِيُّونَ فِي حَرْبِهِ مَعَ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ. فَقَالَ يَاهُو: «إِنْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ رَغْبَتَكُمْ فَلا تَدَعُوا أَحَداً يَنْسَلُّ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ لِيُذِيعَ الْخَبَرَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ». | ١٥ 15 |
But Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. So Jehu said, “If you commanders want to make me king, don't let anyone leave town and go and announce it in Jezreel.”
| ثُمَّ امْتَطَى مَرْكَبَتَهُ وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ حَيْثُ كَانَ يُورَامُ مُضْطَجِعاً هُنَاكَ، وَقَدْ جَاءَ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لِيَزُورَهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
Jehu got on his chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was recuperating there. Ahaziah, king of Judah, was there too because he had come to visit Joram.
| وَكَانَ الرَّقِيبُ قَائِماً عَلَى بُرْجِ يَزْرَعِيلَ، فَشَاهَدَ جَمَاعَةَ يَاهُو مُقْبِلِينَ، فَقَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «إِنِّي أَرَى قَوْماً قَادِمِينَ». فَأَمَرَهُ يَهُورَامُ: «أَرْسِلْ فَارِساً لِلِقَائِهِمْ، فَيَسْأَلَهُمْ: أَلِلْخَيْرِ قُدُومُهُمْ؟» | ١٧ 17 |
The watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu's soldiers approaching, and he shouted out, “I see a soldiers coming!” “Choose a horseman,” Joram ordered. “Send him out to meet them and ask, ‘Do you come in peace?’”
| فَانْدَفَعَ فَارِسٌ لِلِقَائِهِمْ قَائِلاً: «إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ يَسْأَلُ: أَلِلْخَيْرِ قُدُومُكُمْ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَاهُو: «مَا شَأْنُكَ بِالْخَيْرِ؟ دُرْ وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيَّ». فَقَالَ الرَّقِيبُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «قَدْ وَصَلَ الرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ». | ١٨ 18 |
So a horseman rode off to meet Jehu, and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Do you come in peace?’” “What has peace got to do with you?” Jehu replied. “Turn around and follow me.” The watchman reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he's not returning.”
| فَأَرْسَلَ فَارِساً آخَرَ. فَلَمَّا الْتَقَاهُمْ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ يَسْأَلُ: أَلِلْخَيْرِ قُدُومُكُمْ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَاهُو: «مَا شَأْنُكَ بِالْخَيْرِ؟ دُرْ وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيَّ». | ١٩ 19 |
The king sent out a second horseman. He went up to them and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Do you come in peace?’” “What has peace got to do with you?” Jehu replied. “Turn around and follow me.”
| فَقَالَ الرَّقِيبُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «قَدْ وَصَلَ الرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ. وَقِيَادَةُ الْمَرْكَبَةِ شَبِيهَةٌ بِقِيَادَةِ يَاهُو بْنِ نِمْشِي، لأَنَّهُ يَقُودُهَا كَرَجُلٍ مَجْنُونٍ». | ٢٠ 20 |
The watchman reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he's not returning. The driving looks like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi—he's a crazy driver!”
| فَأَمَرَ يَهُورَامُ بِتَجْهِيزِ مَرْكَبَتِهِ، وَخَرَجَ يُصَاحِبُهُ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا، كُلٌّ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ، لِلِقَاءِ يَاهُو. فَصَادَفَاهُ عِنْدَ حَقْلِ نَابُوتَ الْيَزْرَعِيلِيِّ | ٢١ 21 |
“Prepare my chariot!” Joram shouted, and they had his chariot ready. Then Joram, king of Israel, and Ahaziah, king of Judah, set off in their separate chariots, and met Jehu on the plot of ground that was previously owned by Naboth from Jezreel.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَهُورَامُ يَاهُو سَأَلَهُ: «أَلِلْخَيْرِ قُدُومُكَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَاهُو: «أَيُّ خَيْرٍ مَادَامَ فُجُورُ أُمِّكَ إِيزَابِلَ وَسِحْرُهَا مُتَفَشِّيَيْنِ؟» | ٢٢ 22 |
When Joram saw Jehu, he asked him, “Do you come in peace, Jehu?” “What peace can there be with so much prostitution and witchcraft caused by your mother Jezebel?” Jehu replied.
| فَأَمْسَكَ يَهُورَامُ زِمَامَ الْمَرْكَبَةِ وَأَطْلَقَ الْعِنَانَ لِخُيُولِهِ هَارِباً هَاتِفاً بِأَخَزْيَا: «خِيَانَةً يَا أَخَزْيَا!» | ٢٣ 23 |
Joram turned around and raced away, shouting out to Ahaziah, “It's treason, Ahaziah!”
| فَأَطْلَقَ يَاهُو سَهْماً عَلَى يَهُورَامَ اخْتَرَقَ ظَهْرَهُ وَنَفَذَ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، فَأَرْدَاهُ قَتِيلاً فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ، | ٢٤ 24 |
Jehu picked up his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow went through his heart and he collapsed dead in his chariot.
| وَقَالَ لِبِدْقَرَ قَائِدِ مَرْكَبَتِهِ: «ارْفَعْهُ وَاطْرَحْهُ فِي حَقْلِ نَابُوتَ الْيَزْرَعِيلِيِّ، وَتَذَكَّرْ كَيْفَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ، حِينَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ رَاكِبَيْنِ خَلْفَ أَبِيهِ آخْابَ قَدْ قَضَى عَلَيْهِ بِهَذَا الْعِقَابِ، | ٢٥ 25 |
Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Pick him up and throw him into the field of Naboth from Jezreel. Remember when you and I were riding together behind his father Ahab how the Lord made this prophecy against him:
| فَالرَّبُّ يَقُولُ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَمْساً دَمَ نَابُوتَ وَدِمَاءَ أَبْنَائِهِ، لِهَذَا لابُدَّ أَنْ أُعَاقِبَكَ فِي هَذَا الْحَقْلِ. فَالآنَ ارْفَعْهُ وَاطْرَحْهُ فِي الْحَقْلِ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ الرَّبِّ». | ٢٦ 26 |
‘In the same way as I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons yesterday, says the Lord, so I will certainly repay you on this same plot of ground, says the Lord.’ Now then, following what the Lord has said, pick him up and throw him on the plot of ground.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى أَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا هَذَا، فَرَّ هَارِباً فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْبُسْتَانِ، فَتَعَقَّبَهُ يَاهُو هَاتِفاً: «اقْتُلُوهُ». فَأَصَابُوهُ بِجِرَاحٍ مُمِيتَةٍ وَهُوَ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ عِنْدَ عَقَبَةِ جُورَ الْقَرِيبَةِ مِنْ يِبْلَعَامَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ تَابَعَ هَرَبَهُ إِلَى مَجِدُّو حَيْثُ مَاتَ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
When Ahaziah, king of Judah, saw what happened, he raced up the road toward Beth-haggan. But Jehu chased after him, shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot Ahaziah in his chariot on the way up to Gur, near Ibleam. He managed to escape to Megiddo but he died there.
| فَنَقَلَهُ رِجَالُهُ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ حَيْثُ دَفَنُوهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
His servants took him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his forefathers in his tomb in the City of David.
| وَكَانَ أَخَزْيَا قَدْ مَلَكَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا فِي السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ يُورَامَ بْنِ آخْابَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Ahaziah became king of Judah in the eleventh year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab.
| وَتَوَجَّهَ يَاهُو إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ. فَلَمَّا عَلِمَتْ إِيزَابِلُ بِذَلِكَ كَحَّلَتْ عَيْنَيْهَا وَزَيَّنَتْ شَعْرَهَا وَأَطَلَّتْ مِنَ الكُوَّةِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
When Jezebel heard that Jehu had arrived in Jezreel, she put on her black eye-shadow, placed jewelry in her hair, and watched from a window.
| وَعِنْدَمَا اجْتَازَ يَاهُو عَتَبَةَ بَابِ سَاحَةِ الْقَصْرِ قَالَتْ: «أَجِئْتَ مُسَالِماً يَا زِمْرِي يَا قَاتِلَ سَيِّدِهِ؟» | ٣١ 31 |
As Jehu came in through the gate, she shouted down, “Do you come in peace? Or are you like Zimri, a murderer of your master?”
| فَرَفَعَ وَجْهَهُ إِلَيْهَا وَصَاحَ: «مَنْ هُنَا مَعِي؟» فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِ اثْنَانِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةٌ مِنَ الْخِصْيَانِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Jehu looked up at the window and shouted out, “Who is on my side? Anyone?” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
| فَقَالَ: «اطْرَحُوهَا». فَأَلْقَوْا بِها مِنَ الكُوَّةِ فَتَنَاثَرَ بَعْضُ دَمِهَا عَلَى الْجِدَارِ وَعَلَى الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي دَاسَتْهَا بِحَوَافِرِهَا. | ٣٣ 33 |
“Throw her down!” he shouted. And they threw her down. Her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses which then trampled her.
| وَدَخَلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْقَصْرِ حَيْثُ أَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اذْهَبُوا وَافْتَقِدُوا هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةَ الْمَلْعُونَةَ وَادْفِنُوهَا، لأَنَّهَا بِنْتُ مَلِكٍ». | ٣٤ 34 |
Jehu went inside and ate and drank. Then he said, “Please deal with that cursed woman and bury her, for she was a king's daughter.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا خَرَجُوا لِيَدْفِنُوهَا لَمْ يَجِدُوا مِنْ أَشْلائِهَا سِوَى الْجُمْجُمَةِ وَالرِّجْلَيْنِ وَكَفَّيِ الْيَدَيْنِ، | ٣٥ 35 |
They went out to bury her but all they found were her skull, her feet, and her hands.
| فَرَجَعُوا وَأَخْبَرُوهُ، فَقَالَ: «هَذَا إِتْمَامٌ لِقَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِيلِيَّا التِّشْبِيِّ قَائِلاً: إِنَّ الْكِلابَ سَتَلْتَهِمُ لَحْمَ إِيزَابِلَ فِي حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
They went back and told Jehu, who said, “This is what the Lord said through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel's flesh on the plot of ground at Jezreel.
| وَتُصْبِحُ جُثَّةُ إِيزَابِلَ كَالزِّبْلِ عَلَى وَجْهِ حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ بِحَيْثُ لَا يَتَعَرَّفُ عَلَيْهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَقُولُ: هَذِهِ إِيزَابِلُ». | ٣٧ 37 |
Jezebel's body will lie like manure in the field on the plot of ground at Jezreel, so that no one can say: This is where Jezebel is buried.’”
