Kings IV 2
1 And it came to pass, when the Lord was going to take Eliu with a whirlwind as it were into heaven, that Eliu and Elisaie went out of Galgala.
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَزْمَعَ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يَنْقُلَ إِيلِيَّا فِي الْعَاصِفَةِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، ذَهَبَ إِيلِيَّا وَأَلِيشَعُ مِنَ الْجِلْجَالِ. | ١ |
2 And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray thee; for God has sent me to Baethel. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and thy soul lives, I will not leave thee; so they came to Baethel.
| 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 |
3 And the sons of the prophets who were in Baethel came to Elisaie, and said to him, Dost thou know, that the Lord this day is going to take thy lord away from thy head? And he said, Yea, I know [it]; be silent.
| 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 |
4 And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray thee; for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the Lord lives and thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And they came to Jericho.
| 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 |
5 And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho drew near to Elisaie, and said to him, Dost thou know that the Lord is about to take away thy master to-day from thy head? And he said, Yea, I know [it]; hold your peace.
| 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 |
6 And Eliu said to him, Stay here, I pray thee, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and thy soul lives, I will not leave thee: and they both went on.
| 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 |
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets [went also], and they stood opposite afar off: and both stood on [the bank] of Jordan.
| وَرَافَقَهُمَا خَمْسُونَ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ إِلَى حَيْثُ كَانَا يَقِفَانِ إِلَى جُوَارِ الأُرْدُنِّ. وَتَوَقَّفُوا تُجَاهَهُمَا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٧ |
8 And Eliu took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the water: and the water was divided on this side and on that side, and they both went over on dry ground.
| فَتَنَاوَلَ إِيلِيَّا رِدَاءَهُ وَطَوَاهُ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِهِ الْمَاءَ، فَانْفَلَقَ النَّهْرُ إِلَى شَطْرَيْنِ، فَاجْتَازَا فَوْقَ الْيَابِسَةِ. | ٨ |
9 And it came to pass while they were crossing over, that Eliu said to Elisaie, Ask what I shall do for thee before I am taken up from thee. And Elisaie said, Let there be, I pray thee, a double [portion] of thy spirit upon me.
| وَلَمَّا عَبَرَا قَالَ إِيلِيَّا لأَلِيشَعَ: «اطْلُبْ مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ لَكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُؤخَذَ مِنْكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ أَلِيشَعُ: «لِيَحِلَّ عَلَيَّ ضِعْفُ مَا لَدَيْكَ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ». | ٩ |
10 And Eliu said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: if thou shalt see me when I am taken up from thee, then shall it be so to thee; and if not, it shall not be [so].
| فَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا: «لَقَدْ طَلَبْتَ أَمْراً صَعْباً، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ رَأَيْتَنِي وَأَنَا أُؤخَذُ مِنْكَ تَنَلْ سُؤْلَكَ، وَإلَّا فَلَنْ تَحْصُلَ عَلَى مَا طَلَبْتَ». | ١٠ |
11 And it came to pass as they were going, they went on talking; and, behold, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and it separated between them both; and Eliu was taken up in a whirlwind as it were into heaven.
| وَفِيمَا هُمَا يَسِيرَانِ وَيَتَجَاذَبَانِ أَطْرَافَ الْحَدِيثِ، فَصَلَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا مَرْكَبَةٌ مِنْ نَارٍ تَجُرُّهَا خُيُولٌ نَارِيَّةٌ، نَقَلَتْ إِيلِيَّا فِي الْعَاصِفَةِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ. | ١١ |
12 And Elisaie saw, and cried, Father, father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof! And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his garments, and rent them into two pieces.
| وَرَأَى أَلِيشَعُ مَا جَرَى فَأَخَذَ يَهْتِفُ: «يَا أَبِي، يَا أَبِي، يَا مَرْكَبَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفُرْسَانَهَا». وَغَابَ إِيلِيَّا عَنْ عَيْنَيْهِ، فَأَمْسَكَ ثِيَابَهُ وَمَزَّقَهَا قِطْعَتَيْنِ، | ١٢ |
13 And Elisaie took up the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him upon Elisaie; and Elisaie returned, and stood upon the brink of Jordan;
| ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رِدَاءَ إِيلِيَّا الَّذِي سَقَطَ مِنْهُ وَتَوَجَّهَ نَحْوَ ضَفَّةِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، | ١٣ |
14 and he took the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him, and smote the water, and said, Where is the Lord God of Eliu? and he smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither; and Elisaie went over.
| وَضَرَبَ بِهِ الْمَاءَ هَاتِفاً: «أَيْنَ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِيلِيَّا؟» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الْمَاءَ ثَانِيَةً، فَانْفَلَقَ النَّهْرُ إِلَى شَطْرَيْنِ مُتَقَابِلَيْنِ، فَاجْتَازَ أَلِيشَعُ نَحْوَ الضَّفَّةِ الأُخْرَى. | ١٤ |
15 And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and said, The spirit of Eliu has rested upon Elisaie. And they came to meet him, and did obeisance to him to the ground.
| وَلَمَّا شَاهَدَهُ بَنُو الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي أَرِيحَا قَادِماً نَحْوَهُمْ قَالُوا: «إِنَّ رُوحَ إِيلِيَّا قَدِ اسْتَقَرَّتْ عَلَى أَلِيشَعَ». فَأَقْبَلُوا لِلِقَائِهِ وَانْحَنَوْا أَمَامَهُ. | ١٥ |
16 And they said to him, Behold now, [there are] with thy servants fifty men of strength: let them go now, and seek thy lord: peradventure the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up, and cast him into Jordan, or on one of the mountains, or on one of the hills. And Elisaie said, Ye shall not send.
| 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 |
17 And they pressed him until he was ashamed; and he said, Send. And they sent fifty men, and sought three days, and found him not.
| فَأَلَحُّوا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى اعْتَرَاهُ الْخَجَلُ فَأَذْعَنَ لَهُمْ، فَأَوْفَدُوا خَمْسِينَ رَجُلاً ظَلُّوا يَبْحَثُونَ عَنْهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ دُونَ جَدْوَى. | ١٧ |
18 And they returned to him, for he dwelt in Jericho: and Elisaie said, Did I not say to you, Go not?
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِ فِي أَرِيحَا قَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَمَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ لَا تَبْحَثُوا عَنْهُ؟» | ١٨ |
19 And the men of the city said to Elisaie, Behold, the situation of the city [is] good, as [our] lord sees; but the waters [are] bad, and the ground barren.
| وَقَالَ رِجَالُ مَدِينَةِ أَرِيحَا لأَلِيشَعَ: «هُوَذَا الْمَدِينَةُ كَمَا تَرَى ذَاتُ مَوْقِعٍ جَيِّدٍ، أَمَّا الْمِيَاهُ فَرَدِيئَةٌ وَالأَرْضُ مُجْدِبَةٌ». | ١٩ |
20 And Elisaie said, Bring me a new pitcher, and put salt in it. And they took [one], and brought [it] to him.
| فَقَالَ: «أَحْضِرُوا لِي صَحْناً، وَضَعُوا فِيهِ مِلْحاً». فَأَتَوْا إِلَيْهِ بِمَا طَلَبَ. | ٢٠ |
21 And Elisaie went out to the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and says, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be any longer death thence or barren [land].
| 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 |
22 And the waters were healed until this day, according to the word of Elisaie which he spoke.
| فَبَرِئَتِ الْمِيَاهُ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، كَمَا أَنْبَأَ أَلِيشَعُ. | ٢٢ |
23 And he went up thence to Baethel: and as he was going up by the way there came up also little children from the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald-head, go up.
| 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 |
24 And he turned after them, and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And, behold, there came out two bears out of the wood, and they tore forty and two children of them.
| فَالْتَفَتَ وَرَاءَهُ وَتَفَرَّسَ فِيهِمْ، ثُمَّ دَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. فَخَرَجَتْ دُبَّتَانِ مِنَ الْغَابَةِ وَالْتَهَمَتَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ فَتىً. | ٢٤ |
25 And he went thence to mount Carmel, and returned thence to Samaria.
| وَانْطَلَقَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى جَبَلِ الْكَرْمَلِ وَمِنْهُ رَجَعَ إِلَى السَّامِرَةِ. | ٢٥ |
