Kings I 6
1 And the ark was seven months in the country of the Philistines, and their land brought forth swarms of mice.
| وَكَانَ تَابُوتُ ٱللهِ فِي بِلَادِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سَبْعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ١ |
2 And the Philistines call their priests, and their prophets, and their enchanters, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the Lord? teach us wherewith we shall send it away to its place.
| فَدَعَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ وَٱلْعَرَّافِينَ قَائِلِينَ: «مَاذَا نَعْمَلُ بِتَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ أَخْبِرُونَا بِمَاذَا نُرْسِلُهُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ». | ٢ |
3 And they said, If you send away the ark of the covenant of the Lord God of Israel, do not on any account send it away empty, but by all means render to it an offering for the plague; and then shall you be healed, and an atonement shall be made for you: should not his hand be [thus] stayed from off you?
| فَقَالُوا: «إِذَا أَرْسَلْتُمْ تَابُوتَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَلَا تُرْسِلُوهُ فَارِغًا، بَلْ رُدُّوا لَهُ قُرْبَانَ إِثْمٍ. حِينَئِذٍ تَشْفَوْنَ وَيُعْلَمُ عِنْدَكُمْ لِمَاذَا لَا تَرْتَفِعُ يَدُهُ عَنْكُمْ». | ٣ |
4 And they say, What [is] the offering for the plague [which] we shall return to it? and they said,
| فَقَالُوا: «وَمَا هُوَ قُرْبَانُ ٱلْإِثْمِ ٱلَّذِي نَرُدُّهُ لَهُ؟» فَقَالُوا: «حَسَبَ عَدَدِ أَقْطَابِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ: خَمْسَةَ بَوَاسِيرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَخَمْسَةَ فِيرَانٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. لِأَنَّ ٱلضَّرْبَةَ وَاحِدَةٌ عَلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا وَعَلَى أَقْطَابِكُمْ. | ٤ |
5 According to the number of the lords of the Philistines, five golden tumours, for the plague was on you, and on your rulers, and on the people; and golden mice, the likeness of the mice that destroy your land: and you shall give glory to the Lord, that he may lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
| وَٱصْنَعُوا تَمَاثِيلَ بَوَاسِيرِكُمْ وَتَمَاثِيلَ فِيرَانِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي تُفْسِدُ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَأَعْطُوا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَجْدًا لَعَلَّهُ يُخَفِّفُ يَدَهُ عَنْكُمْ وَعَنْ آلِهَتِكُمْ وَعَنْ أَرْضِكُمْ. | ٥ |
6 And why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? [was it] not [so] when he mocked them, [that] they let the people go, and they departed?
| وَلِمَاذَا تُغْلِظُونَ قُلُوبَكُمْ كَمَا أَغْلَظَ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَفِرْعَوْنُ قُلُوبَهُمْ؟ أَلَيْسَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلَ بِهِمْ أَطْلَقُوهُمْ فَذَهَبُوا؟ | ٦ |
7 And now take wood and make a new wagon, and take two cows, that have calved for the first time, without their calves; and do you yoke the cows to the wagon, and lead away the calves from behind them home.
| فَٱلْآنَ خُذُوا وَٱعْمَلُوا عَجَلَةً وَاحِدَةً جَدِيدَةً وَبَقَرَتَيْنِ مُرْضِعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يَعْلُهُمَا نِيرٌ، وَٱرْبِطُوا ٱلْبَقَرَتَيْنِ إِلَى ٱلْعَجَلَةِ، وَأَرْجِعُوا وَلَدَيْهِمَا عَنْهُمَا إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ. | ٧ |
8 And you shall take the ark and put it on the wagon; and you shall restore to it the golden articles for the trespass-offering in a coffer by the side of it: and you shall let it go, and sent it away, and you shall depart.
| وَخُذُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱجْعَلُوهُ عَلَى ٱلْعَجَلَةِ، وَضَعُوا أَمْتِعَةَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي تَرُدُّونَهَا لَهُ قُرْبَانَ إِثْمٍ فِي صُنْدُوقٍ بِجَانِبِهِ وَأَطْلِقُوهُ فَيَذْهَبَ. | ٨ |
9 And you shall see, if it shall go the way of its coasts along by Baethsamys, he has brought upon us this great affliction; and if not, then shall we know that his hand has not touched us, but this [is a] chance [which] has happened to us.
| وَٱنْظُرُوا، فَإِنْ صَعِدَ فِي طَرِيقِ تُخْمِهِ إِلَى بَيْتَشَمْسَ فَإِنَّهُ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلَ بِنَا هَذَا ٱلشَّرَّ ٱلْعَظِيمَ. وَإِلَّا فَنَعْلَمُ أَنْ يَدَهُ لَمْ تَضْرِبْنَا. كَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا عَرَضًا». | ٩ |
10 And the Philistines did so; and they took two cows that had calved for the first time, and yoked them to the waggon, and shut up their calves at home.
| فَفَعَلَ ٱلرِّجَالُ كَذَلِكَ، وَأَخَذُوا بَقَرَتَيْنِ مُرْضِعَتَيْنِ وَرَبَطُوهُمَا إِلَى ٱلْعَجَلَةِ، وَحَبَسُوا وَلَدَيْهِمَا فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، | ١٠ |
11 And they set the ark of the Lord, and the coffer, and the golden mice, on the waggon.
| وَوَضَعُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى ٱلْعَجَلَةِ مَعَ ٱلصُّنْدُوقِ وَفِيرَانِ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَتَمَاثِيلِ بَوَاسِيرِهِمْ. | ١١ |
12 And the cows went straight on the way to the way of Baethsamys, they went along one track; and laboured, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left, and the lords of the Philistines went after it as far as the coasts of Baethsamys.
| فَٱسْتَقَامَتِ ٱلْبَقَرَتَانِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ إِلَى طَرِيقِ بَيْتَشَمْسَ، وَكَانَتَا تَسِيرَانِ فِي سِكَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَتَجْأَرَانِ، وَلَمْ تَمِيلَا يَمِينًا وَلَا شِمَالًا، وَأَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ يَسِيرُونَ وَرَاءَهُمَا إِلَى تُخْمِ بَيْتَشَمْسَ. | ١٢ |
13 And the men of Baethsamys were reaping the wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark of the Lord, and rejoiced to meet it.
| وَكَانَ أَهْلُ بَيْتَشَمْسَ يَحْصُدُونَ حَصَادَ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ فِي ٱلْوَادِي، فَرَفَعُوا أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَرَأَوْا ٱلتَّابُوتَ وَفَرِحُوا بِرُؤْيَتِهِ. | ١٣ |
14 And the waggon entered into the field of Osee, which was in Baethsamys, and they set there by it a great stone; and they split the wood of the waggon, and offered up the cows for a whole burnt offering to the Lord.
| فَأَتَتِ ٱلْعَجَلَةُ إِلَى حَقْلِ يَهُوشَعَ ٱلْبَيْتَشَمْسِيِّ وَوَقَفَتْ هُنَاكَ. وَهُنَاكَ حَجَرٌ كَبِيرٌ. فَشَقَّقُوا خَشَبَ ٱلْعَجَلَةِ وَأَصْعَدُوا ٱلْبَقَرَتَيْنِ مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٤ |
15 And the Levites brought up the ark of the Lord, and the coffer with it, and the golden articles upon it, and placed them on the great stone, and the men of Baethsamys offered whole burnt offerings and meat offerings on that day to the Lord.
| فَأَنْزَلَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلصُّنْدُوقَ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ أَمْتِعَةُ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَوَضَعُوهُمَا عَلَى ٱلْحَجَرِ ٱلْكَبِيرِ. وَأَصْعَدَ أَهْلُ بَيْتَشَمْسَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَحُوا ذَبَائِحَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٥ |
16 And the five lords of the Philistines saw, and returned to Ascalon in that day.
| فَرَأَى أَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱلْخَمْسَةُ وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى عَقْرُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٦ |
17 And these [are] the golden tumours which the lords of the Philistines gave as a trespass-offering to the Lord; for Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for Accaron one.
| وَهَذِهِ هِيَ بَوَاسِيرُ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي رَدَّهَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ قُرْبَانَ إِثْمٍ لِلرَّبِّ: وَاحِدٌ لِأَشْدُودَ، وَوَاحِدٌ لِغَزَّةَ، وَوَاحِدٌ لِأَشْقَلُونَ، وَوَاحِدٌ لِجَتَّ، وَوَاحِدٌ لِعَقْرُونَ. | ١٧ |
18 And the golden mice according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines, belonging to the five lords, from the fenced city to the village of the Pherezite, and to the great stone, on which they placed the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that was in the field of Osee the Baethsamysite.
| وَفِيرَانُ ٱلذَّهَبِ بِعَدَدِ جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لِلْخَمْسَةِ ٱلْأَقْطَابِ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْمُحَصَّنَةِ إِلَى قَرْيَةِ ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ. وَشَاهِدٌ هُوَ ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٱلَّذِي وَضَعُوا عَلَيْهِ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. هُوَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ فِي حَقْلِ يَهُوشَعَ ٱلْبَيْتِشَمْسِيِّ. | ١٨ |
19 And the sons of Jechonias were not pleased with the men of Baethsamys, because they saw the ark of the Lord; and [the Lord] struck amongst them seventy men, and fifty thousand men: and the people mourned, because the Lord had inflicted on the people, a very great plague.
| وَضَرَبَ أَهْلَ بَيْتَشَمْسَ لِأَنَّهُمْ نَظَرُوا إِلَى تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَضَرَبَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ وَسَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا. فَنَاحَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ضَرَبَ ٱلشَّعْبَ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً. | ١٩ |
20 And the men of Baethsamys said, Who shall be able to pass before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall the ark of the Lord go up from us?
| وَقَالَ أَهْلُ بَيْتَشَمْسَ: «مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَقِفَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ هَذَا؟ وَإِلَى مَنْ يَصْعَدُ عَنَّا؟» | ٢٠ |
21 And they send messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying, The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, go down and take it home to yourselves.
| وَأَرْسَلُوا رُسُلًا إِلَى سُكَّانِ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ رَدَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَٱنْزِلُوا وَأَصْعِدُوهُ إِلَيْكُمْ». | ٢١ |
