Kings III 19
1 And Achaab told Jezabel his wife all that Eliu [had] done, and how he [had] slain the prophets with the sword.
| وَأَخْبَرَ أَخْآبُ إِيزَابَلَ بِكُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ إِيلِيَّا، وَكَيْفَ أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١ |
2 And Jezabel sent to Eliu, and said, If thou art Eliu and I am Jezabel, God do so to me, and more also, if I do not make thy life by this time to-morrow as the life of one of them.
| فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِيزَابَلُ رَسُولًا إِلَى إِيلِيَّا تَقُولُ: «هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ ٱلْآلِهَةُ وَهَكَذَا تَزِيدُ، إِنْ لَمْ أَجْعَلْ نَفْسَكَ كَنَفْسِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي نَحْوِ هَذَا ٱلْوَقْتِ غَدًا». | ٢ |
3 And Eliu feared, and rose, and departed for his life: and he comes to Bersabee [to] the land of Juda, and he left his servant there.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَامَ وَمَضَى لِأَجْلِ نَفْسِهِ، وَأَتَى إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا وَتَرَكَ غُلَامَهُ هُنَاكَ. | ٣ |
4 And he himself went a day's journey in the wilderness, and came and sat under a juniper tree; and asked concerning his life that he might die, and said, Let it be enough now, O Lord, take, I pray thee, my life from me; for I am no better than my fathers.
| ثُمَّ سَارَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمٍ، حَتَّى أَتَى وَجَلَسَ تَحْتَ رَتَمَةٍ وَطَلَبَ ٱلْمَوْتَ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَقَالَ: «قَدْ كَفَى ٱلْآنَ يَارَبُّ. خُذْ نَفْسِي لِأَنَّنِي لَسْتُ خَيْرًا مِنْ آبَائِي». | ٤ |
5 And he lay down and slept there under a tree; and behold, some one touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.
| وَٱضْطَجَعَ وَنَامَ تَحْتَ ٱلرَّتَمَةِ. وَإِذَا بِمَلَاكٍ قَدْ مَسَّهُ وَقَالَ: «قُمْ وَكُلْ». | ٥ |
6 And Eliu looked, and, behold, at his head there was a cake of meal and a cruse of water; and he arose, and ate and drank, and returned and lay down.
| فَتَطَلَّعَ وَإِذَا كَعْكَةُ رَضْفٍ وَكُوزُ مَاءٍ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ، فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَٱضْطَجَعَ. | ٦ |
7 And the angel of the Lord returned again, and touched him, and said to him, Arise, and eat, for the journey [is] far from thee.
| ثُمَّ عَادَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ ثَانِيَةً فَمَسَّهُ وَقَالَ: «قُمْ وَكُلْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَسَافَةَ كَثِيرَةٌ عَلَيْكَ». | ٧ |
8 And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights to mount Choreb.
| فَقَامَ وَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ، وَسَارَ بِقُوَّةِ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَكْلَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَارًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱللهِ حُورِيبَ، | ٨ |
9 And he entered there into a cave, and rested there; and, behold, the word of the Lord [came] to him, and he said, What [doest] thou here, Eliu?
| وَدَخَلَ هُنَاكَ ٱلْمُغَارَةَ وَبَاتَ فِيهَا. وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ يَقُولُ: «مَا لَكَ هَهُنَا يَاإِيلِيَّا؟» | ٩ |
10 And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty, because the children of Israel have forsaken thee: they have digged down thine altars, and have slain thy prophets with the sword; and I only am left alone, and they seek my life to take it.
| فَقَالَ: «قَدْ غِرْتُ غَيْرَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ ٱلْجُنُودِ، لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ تَرَكُوا عَهْدَكَ، وَنَقَضُوا مَذَابِحَكَ، وَقَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، فَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي، وَهُمْ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي لِيَأْخُذُوهَا». | ١٠ |
11 And he said, Thou shalt go forth to-morrow, and shalt stand before the Lord in the mount; behold, the Lord will pass by. And, behold, a great [and] strong wind rending the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord; [but] the Lord [was] not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the Lord [was] not in the earthquake:
| فَقَالَ: «ٱخْرُجْ وَقِفْ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ». وَإِذَا بِٱلرَّبِّ عَابِرٌ وَرِيحٌ عَظِيمَةٌ وَشَدِيدَةٌ قَدْ شَقَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَكَسَّرَتِ ٱلصُّخُورَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلرِّيحِ. وَبَعْدَ ٱلرِّيحِ زَلْزَلَةٌ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلزَّلْزَلَةِ. | ١١ |
12 and after the earthquake a fire; [but] the Lord [was] not in the fire: and after the fire the voice of a gentle breeze.
| وَبَعْدَ ٱلزَّلْزَلَةِ نَارٌ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلنَّارِ. وَبَعْدَ ٱلنَّارِ صَوْتٌ مُنْخَفِضٌ خَفِيفٌ. | ١٢ |
13 And it came to pass when Eliu heard, that he wrapt his face in his mantle, and went forth and stood in the cave: and, behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What [doest] thou here, Eliu?
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ إِيلِيَّا لَفَّ وَجْهَهُ بِرِدَائِهِ وَخَرَجَ وَوَقَفَ فِي بَابِ ٱلْمُغَارَةِ، وَإِذَا بِصَوْتٍ إِلَيْهِ يَقُولُ: «مَا لَكَ هَهُنَا يَا إِيلِيَّا؟» | ١٣ |
14 And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, and they have overthrown thine altars, and have slain thy prophets with the sword! and I am left entirely alone, and they seek my life to take it.
| فَقَالَ: «غِرْتُ غَيْرَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ ٱلْجُنُودِ، لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ تَرَكُوا عَهْدَكَ، وَنَقَضُوا مَذَابِحَكَ، وَقَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، فَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي، وَهُمْ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي لِيَأْخُذُوهَا». | ١٤ |
15 And the Lord said to him, Go, return, and thou shalt come into the way of the wilderness of Damascus: and thou shalt go and anoint Azael to be king over Syria.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱذْهَبْ رَاجِعًا فِي طَرِيقِكَ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ دِمِشْقَ، وَٱدْخُلْ وَٱمْسَحْ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكًا عَلَى أَرَامَ، | ١٥ |
16 And Ju the son of Namessi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisaie the son of Saphat shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
| وَٱمْسَحْ يَاهُوَ بْنَ نِمْشِي مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱمْسَحْ أَلِيشَعَ بْنَ شَافَاطَ مِنْ آبَلَ مَحُولَةَ نَبِيًّا عِوَضًا عَنْكَ. | ١٦ |
17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapes from the sword of Azael, Ju shall slay; and him that escapes from the sword of Ju, Elisaie shall slay.
| فَٱلَّذِي يَنْجُو مِنْ سَيْفِ حَزَائِيلَ يَقْتُلُهُ يَاهُو، وَٱلَّذِي يَنْجُو مِنْ سَيْفِ يَاهُو يَقْتُلُهُ أَلِيشَعُ. | ١٧ |
18 And thou shalt leave in Israel seven thousand men, all the knees which had not bowed themselves to Baal, and every mouth which had not worshipped him.
| وَقَدْ أَبْقَيْتُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ، كُلَّ ٱلرُّكَبِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَجْثُ لِلْبَعْلِ وَكُلَّ فَمٍ لَمْ يُقَبِّلْهُ». | ١٨ |
19 And he departed thence, and finds Elisaie the son of Saphat, and he was ploughing with oxen; [there were] twelve yoke before him, and he with the twelve, and he passed by to him, and cast his mantle upon him.
| فَذَهَبَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَوَجَدَ أَلِيشَعَ بْنَ شَافَاطَ يَحْرُثُ، وَٱثْنَا عَشَرَ فَدَّانَ بَقَرٍ قُدَّامَهُ، وَهُوَ مَعَ ٱلثَّانِي عَشَرَ. فَمَرَّ إِيلِيَّا بِهِ وَطَرَحَ رِدَاءَهُ عَلَيْهِ. | ١٩ |
20 And Elisaie left the cattle, and ran after Eliu and said, I will kiss my father, and follow after thee. And Eliu said, Return, for I have done [a work] for thee.
| فَتَرَكَ ٱلْبَقَرَ وَرَكَضَ وَرَاءَ إِيلِيَّا وَقَالَ: «دَعْنِي أُقَبِّلُ أَبِي وَأُمِّي وَأَسِيرُ وَرَاءَكَ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱذْهَبْ رَاجِعًا، لِأَنِّي مَاذَا فَعَلْتُ لَكَ؟» | ٢٠ |
21 And he returned from following him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled them with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and he arose, and went after Eliu, and ministered to him.
| فَرَجَعَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَأَخَذَ فَدَّانَ بَقَرٍ وَذَبَحَهُمَا، وَسَلَقَ ٱللَّحْمَ بِأَدَوَاتِ ٱلْبَقَرِ وَأَعْطَى ٱلشَّعْبَ فَأَكَلُوا. ثُمَّ قَامَ وَمَضَى وَرَاءَ إِيلِيَّا وَكَانَ يَخْدِمُهُ. | ٢١ |
