< Kings IV 1 >

1 And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Achaab.
وَعَصَى مُوآبُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ أَخْآبَ.١
2 And Ochozias fell through the lattice that was in his upper chamber in Samaria and was sick; and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go and enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my sickness. And they went to enquire of him.
وَسَقَطَ أَخَزْيَا مِنَ ٱلْكَوَّةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي عُلِّيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ فَمَرِضَ، وَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱذْهَبُوا ٱسْأَلُوا بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَبْرَأُ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَرَضِ».٢
3 And an angel of the Lord called Eliu the Thesbite, saying, Arise, and go to meet the messengers of Ochozias king of Samaria, and you shall say to them, [Is it] because there is no God in Israel, [that] you go to enquire of Baal fly, the God of Accaron? but [it shall] not [be] so.
فَقَالَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِيلِيَّا ٱلتِّشْبِيِّ: «قُمِٱصْعَدْ لِلِقَاءِ رُسُلِ مَلِكِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: أَلَيْسَ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُوجَدُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَهٌ، تَذْهَبُونَ لِتَسْأَلُوا بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ؟٣
4 For thus says the Lord, The bed on which you are gone up, you shall not come down from it, for you shall surely die. And Eliu went, and said [so] to them.
فَلِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنَّ ٱلسَّرِيرَ ٱلَّذِي صَعِدْتَ عَلَيْهِ لَا تَنْزِلُ عَنْهُ بَلْ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ». فَٱنْطَلَقَ إِيلِيَّا.٤
5 And the messengers returned to him, and he said to them, Why have you returned?
وَرَجَعَ ٱلرُّسُلُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا رَجَعْتُمْ؟»٥
6 And they said to him, A man came up to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus says the Lord, [Is it] because there is no God in Israel, [that] you go to enquire of Baal fly, the God of Accaron? [it shall] not [be] so: the bed on which you are gone up, you shall not come down from it, for you shall surely die.
فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «صَعِدَ رَجُلٌ لِلِقَائِنَا وَقَالَ لَنَا: ٱذْهَبُوا رَاجِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَكُمْ وَقُولُوا لَهُ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَلَيْسَ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُوجَدُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَهٌ أَرْسَلْتَ لِتَسْأَلَ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ؟ لِذَلِكَ ٱلسَّرِيرُ ٱلَّذِي صَعِدْتَ عَلَيْهِ، لَا تَنْزِلُ عَنْهُ بَلْ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ».٦
7 So they returned and reported to the king as Eliu said: and he said to them, What [was] the manner of the man who went up to meet you, and spoke to you these words?
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَا هِيَ هَيْئَةُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي صَعِدَ لِلِقَائِكُمْ وَكَلَّمَكُمْ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ؟»٧
8 And they said to him, [He was] a hairy man, and girded with a leather girdle about his loins. And he said, This is Eliu the Thesbite.
فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «إِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَشْعَرُ مُتَنَطِّقٌ بِمِنْطَقَةٍ مِنْ جِلْدٍ عَلَى حُقَوَيْهِ». فَقَالَ: «هُوَ إِيلِيَّا ٱلتِّشْبِيُّ».٨
9 And he sent to him a captain of fifty and his fifty; and he went up to him: and, behold, Eliu sat on the top of a mountain. And the captain of fifty spoke to him, and said, O man of God, the king has called you, come down.
فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَئِيسَ خَمْسِينَ مَعَ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ، فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ وَإِذَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا رَجُلَ ٱللهِ، ٱلْمَلِكُ يَقُولُ ٱنْزِلْ».٩
10 And Eliu answered and said to the captain of fifty, And if I [am] a man of God, fire shall come down out of heaven, and devour you and your fifty. And fire came down out of heaven, and devoured him and his fifty.
فَأَجَابَ إِيلِيَّا وَقَالَ لِرَئِيسِ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا رَجُلَ ٱللهِ، فَلْتَنْزِلْ نَارٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَتَأْكُلْكَ أَنْتَ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَكَ». فَنَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَأَكَلَتْهُ هُوَ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ.١٠
11 And the king sent a second time to him another captain of fifty, and his fifty. And the captain of fifty spoke to him, and said, O man of God, thus says the king, Come down quickly.
ثُمَّ عَادَ وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَئِيسَ خَمْسِينَ آخَرَ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ. فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَارَجُلَ ٱللهِ، هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: أَسْرِعْ وَٱنْزِلْ».١١
12 And Eliu answered and spoke to him, and said, If I [am] a man of God, fire shall come down out of heaven, and devour you and your fifty. And fire came down out of heaven, and devoured him and his fifty.
فَأَجَابَ إِيلِيَّا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا رَجُلَ ٱللهِ، فَلْتَنْزِلْ نَارٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَتَأْكُلْكَ أَنْتَ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَكَ». فَنَزَلَتْ نَارُ ٱللهِ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَأَكَلَتْهُ هُوَ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ.١٢
13 And the king sent yet again a captain and his fifty. And the third captain of fifty came, and knelt on his knees before Eliu, and entreated him, and spoke to him and said, O man of God, let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your eyes.
ثُمَّ عَادَ فَأَرْسَلَ رَئِيسَ خَمْسِينَ ثَالِثًا وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ. فَصَعِدَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلثَّالِثُ وَجَاءَ وَجَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ أمَامَ إِيلِيَّا، وَتَضَرَّعَ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا رَجُلَ ٱللهِ، لِتُكْرَمْ نَفْسِي وَأَنْفُسُ عَبِيدِكَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ.١٣
14 Behold, fire came down from heaven, and devoured the two first captains of fifty: and now, I pray, let my life be precious in your eyes.
هُوَذَا قَدْ نَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَأَكَلَتْ رَئِيسَيِ ٱلْخَمْسِينَيْنِ ٱلْأَوَّلَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَيْهِمَا، وَٱلْآنَ فَلْتُكْرَمْ نَفْسِي فِي عَيْنَيْكَ».١٤
15 And the angel of the Lord spoke to Eliu, and said, Go down with him, be not afraid of them. And Eliu rose up, and went down with him to the king.
فَقَالَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِيلِيَّا: «ٱنْزِلْ مَعَهُ. لَا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ». فَقَامَ وَنَزَلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ.١٥
16 And Eliu spoke to him, and said, Thus says the Lord, Why have you sent messengers to enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron? [it shall] not [be] so: the bed on which you are gone up, you shall not come down from it, for you shall surely die.
وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ أَرْسَلْتَ رُسُلًا لِتَسْأَلَ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ، أَلَيْسَ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُوجَدُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَهٌ لِتَسْأَلَ عَنْ كَلَامِهِ! لِذَلِكَ ٱلسَّرِيرُ ٱلَّذِي صَعِدْتَ عَلَيْهِ لَا تَنْزِلُ عَنْهُ بَلْ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ».١٦
17 So he died according to the word of the Lord which Eliu has spoken.
فَمَاتَ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ إِيلِيَّا. وَمَلَكَ يَهُورَامُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِيَهُورَامَ بْنِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ٱبْنٌ.١٧
18 And the rest of the acts of Ochozias which he did, behold, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَخَزْيَا ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟١٨
