1 Kings 11

1 But king Solomon loved many foreign women, besides the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, Hittites;

١ وَأُوْلِعَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِنِسَاءٍ غَرِيبَاتٍ كَثِيرَاتٍ، فَضْلاً عَنِ ابْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَتَزَوَّجَ نِسَاءً مُوآبِيَّاتٍ وَعَمُّونِيَّاتٍ وَأَدُومِيَّاتٍ وَصِيدُونِيَّاتٍ وَحِثِّيَّاتٍ،

2 of the nations of which Jehovah had said to the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you; they would certainly turn away your heart after their gods: to these Solomon was attached in love.

٢ وَكُلُّهُنَّ مِنْ بَنَاتِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي نَهَى الرَّبُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ الزَّوَاجِ مِنْهُمْ قَائِلاً لَهُمْ: «لا تَتَزَوَّجُوا مِنْهُمْ وَلا هُمْ مِنْكُمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ يُغْوُونَ قُلُوبَكُمْ وَرَاءَ آلِهَتِهِمْ». وَلَكِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ الْتَصَقَ بِهِنَّ لِفَرْطِ مَحَبَّتِهِ لَهُنَّ.

3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.

٣ فَكَانَتْ لَهُ سَبْعُ مِئَةِ زَوْجَةٍ، وَثَلاثُ مِئَةِ مَحْظِيَّةٍ، فَانْحَرَفْنَ بِقَلْبِهِ عَنِ الرَّبِّ.

4 And it came to pass when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father.

٤ فَاسْتَطَعْنَ فِي زَمَنِ شَيْخُوخَتِهِ أَنْ يُغْوِينَ قَلْبَهُ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ مُسْتَقِيماً مَعَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ كَقَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ.

5 And Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

٥ وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ عَبَدَ عَشْتَارُوثَ إلَهَةَ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ، وَمَلْكُومَ إِلَهَ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ الْبَغِيضَ،

6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed not fully Jehovah, as David his father.

٦ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَتْبَعْ سَبِيلَ الرَّبِّ بِكَمَالٍ كَمَا فَعَلَ أَبُوهُ دَاوُدُ.

7 Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, on the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

٧ وَأَقَامَ عَلَى تَلٍّ شَرْقِيَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ مُرْتَفَعاً لِكَمُوشَ إِلَهِ الْمُوآبِيِّينَ الْفَاسِقِ، وَلِمُولَكَ إِلَهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ الْبَغِيضِ.

8 And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

٨ وَشَيَّدَ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ لِجَمِيعِ نِسَائِهِ الْغَرِيبَاتِ، اللَّوَاتِي رُحْنَ يُوْقِدْنَ الْبَخُورَ عَلَيْهَا وَيُقَرِّبْنَ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ لِآلِهَتِهِنَّ.

9 And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

٩ فَغَضِبَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ لأَنَّ قَلْبَهُ ضَلَّ عَنْهُ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ تَجَلَّى لَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ،

10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; but he kept not what Jehovah had commanded.

١٠ وَنَهَاهُ عَنِ الْغَوَايَةِ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، فَلَمْ يُطِعْ وَصِيَّتَهُ.

11 And Jehovah said to Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I commanded thee, I will certainly rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant:

١١ لِهَذَا قَالَ اللهُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ: «لأَنَّكَ انْحَرَفْتَ عَنِّي وَنَكَثْتَ عَهْدِي، وَلَمْ تُطِعْ فَرَائِضِي الَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ بِها، فَإِنِّي حَتْماً أُمَزِّقُ أَوْصَالَ مَمْلَكَتِكَ، وَأُعْطِيهَا لأَحَدِ عَبِيدِكَ.

12 notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake; I will rend it out of the hand of thy son;

١٢ إِلّا أَنَّنِي لَا أَفْعَلُ هَذَا فِي أَيَّامِكَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيكَ، بَلْ مِنْ يَدِ ابْنِكَ أُمَزِّقُهَا.

13 only, I will not rend away all the kingdom: I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

١٣ غَيْرَ أَنِّي أُبْقِي لَهُ سِبْطاً وَاحِداً، يَمْلِكُ عَلَيْهِ إِكْرَاماً لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا».

14 And Jehovah stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the king's seed in Edom.

١٤ وَأَثَارَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ هَدَدَ سَلِيلَ النَّسْلِ المَلَكِيِّ الأَدُومِيِّ،

15 Now it came to pass when David was in Edom, when Joab the captain of the host had gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom

١٥ فَفِيمَا كَانَ دَاوُدُ فِي أَدُومَ، صَعِدَ يُوآبُ رَئِيسُ الْجَيْشِ لِدَفْنِ الْقَتْلَى، وَقَضَى عَلَى كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ فِي أَدُومَ.

16 (for Joab abode there six months with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom),

١٦ إذْ إِنَّ يُوآبَ وَكُلَّ جَيْشِهِ أَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ، أَفْنَوْا خِلالَهَا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ فِي أَدُومَ،

17 that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.

١٧ وَلَكِنَّ هَدَدَ وَبَعْضَ رِجَالِ أَبِيهِ الأَدُومِيِّينَ اسْتَطَاعُوا الْهَرَبَ وَاللُّجُوءَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَكَانَ هَدَدُ آنَئِذٍ فَتىً صَغِيراً.

18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran, and took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt; who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.

١٨ وَأَقَامُوا فِي بَادِئِ الأَمْرِ فِي مِدْيَانَ، ثُمَّ انْتَقَلُوا إِلَى فَارَانَ حَيْثُ انْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِمْ عَدَدٌ آخَرُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ، تَوَجَّهُوا جَمِيعاً إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ مِصْرَ، فَأَعْطَى فِرْعَوْنُ هَدَدَ بَيْتاً وَأَرْضاً وَطَعَاماً،

19 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, and he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

١٩ وَحَظِيَ هَدَدُ بِرِضَى فِرْعَوْنَ، فَزَوَّجَهُ أُخْتَ امْرَأَتِهِ الْمَلِكَةِ تَحْفَنِيسَ،

20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son; and Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household, among the sons of Pharaoh.

٢٠ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ أُخْتُ تَحْفَنِيسَ ابْناً دَعَاهُ جَنُوبَثَ. وَفَطَمَتْهُ تَحْفَنِيسُ فِي قَصْرِ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَهَكَذَا نَشَأَ جَنُوبَثُ فِي بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ بَيْنَ أَبْنَائِهِ.

21 And Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead; and Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.

٢١ وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ هَدَدُ فِي مِصْرَ بِمَوْتِ دَاوُدَ وَمَصْرَعِ يُوآبَ رَئِيسِ الْجَيْشِ، قَالَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «دَعْنِي أَمْضِي إِلَى أَرْضِي».

22 And Pharaoh said to him, What then dost thou lack with me, that behold, thou desirest to go to thine own country? And he said, Nothing; but in any case let me depart.

٢٢ فَقَالَ لَهُ فِرْعَوْنُ: «هَلِ افْتَقَرْتَ إِلَى شَيْءٍ عِنْدِي حَتَّى تَنْشُدَ الرُّجُوعَ إِلَى أَرْضِكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «لا شَيْءَ إِنَّمَا دَعْنِي أَنْطَلِقُ».

23 God stirred him up yet an adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord.

٢٣ وَأَثَارَ اللهُ عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ خَصْماً آخَرَ هُوَ رَزُونُ بْنُ أَلِيدَاعَ، الَّذِي هَرَبَ مِنْ عِنْدِ سَيِّدِهِ هَدَدْعَزَرَ مَلِكِ صُوبَةَ،

24 And he collected men to him, and became captain of a band, when David slew them [of Zobah]; and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and reigned in Damascus.

٢٤ فَضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ رِجَالاً، وَأَصْبَحَ رَئِيساً لِعِصَابَةٍ مِنَ الثُّوَّارِ، فِي الْحِقْبَةِ الَّتِي دَمَّرَ فِيهَا دَاوُدُ قُوَّاتِ صُوبَةَ. فَانْطَلَقَ رَزُونُ بِعِصَابَتِهِ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ وَأَقَامُوا فِيهَا وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا.

25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad [did]; and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

٢٥ وَظَلَّ رَزُونُ خَصْماً لإِسْرَائِيلَ طَوَالَ حَيَاةِ سُلَيْمَانَ، فَضْلاً عَمَّا خَلَقَهُ هَدَدُ مِنْ مَتَاعِبَ. وَهَكَذَا مَلَكَ رَزُونُ فِي دِمَشْقَ وَبَقِيَ عَدُوّاً لإِسْرَائِيلَ.

26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zeredah, Solomon's servant (whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman), even he lifted up his hand against the king.

٢٦ وَتَمَرَّدَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَابَاطَ الأَفْرَايِمِيُّ مِنْ صَرَدَةَ، وَكَانَ مِنْ رِجَالِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ صَرُوعَةُ وَهِيَ أَرْمَلَةٌ.

27 And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon was building Millo, and closing the breach of the city of David his father;

٢٧ أَمَّا سَبَبُ تَمَرُّدِهِ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ فَهُوَ أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بَنَى الْقَلْعَةَ وَسَدَّ الثُّغْرَاتِ فِي سُورِ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ،

28 and the man Jeroboam was strong and valiant; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.

٢٨ وَكَانَ يَرُبْعَامُ رَجُلاً شَدِيدَ الْمِرَاسِ. فَلَمَّا رَأَى سُلَيْمَانُ أَنَّ الشَّابَّ نَشِيطٌ مُجْتَهِدٌ، أَقَامَهُ مُشْرِفاً عَلَى أَعْمَالِ التَّسْخِيرِ فِي أَرْضِ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ.

29 And it came to pass at that time that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field.

٢٩ وَحَدَثَ أَنَّ يَرُبْعَامَ خَرَجَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَالْتَقَاهُ النَّبِيُّ أَخِيَّا الشِّيلُونِيُّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ. وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَرْتَدِي رِدَاءً جَدِيداً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ سِوَاهُمَا فِي الْحَقْلِ،

30 Then Ahijah seized the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces;

٣٠ فَتَنَاوَلَ أَخِيَّا الرِّدَاءَ الْجَدِيدَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَمَزَّقَهُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ قِطْعَةً،

31 and said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces; for thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee;

٣١ وَقَالَ لِيَرُبْعَامَ: «خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ عَشْرَ قِطَعٍ، لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَا أَنَا أُمَزِّقُ الْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ يَدِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَأُعْطِيكَ عَشَرَةَ أَسْبَاطٍ،

32 but one tribe shall he have for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:

٣٢ وَلا يَبْقَى لَهُ سِوَى سِبْطٍ وَاحِدٍ إِكْرَاماً لِعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا مِنْ بَيْنِ مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

33 because they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my sight, and my statutes and mine ordinances, as David his father.

٣٣ لأَنَّهُ تَخَلَّى عَنِّي وَسَجَدَ لِعَشْتَارُوثَ إِلَهَةِ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ، وَلِكَمُوشَ إِلَهِ الْمُوآبِيِّينَ، وَلِمَلْكُومَ إِلَهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَلَمْ يَسْلُكْ فِي سُبُلِي، وَيَصْنَعْ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَلَمْ يُطِعْ فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ.

34 But I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; for I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes;

٣٤ وَلَكِنِّي لَنْ أَنْزِعَ كُلَّ الْمُلْكِ عَنْهُ، بَلْ أُبْقِيَهُ رَئِيساً طَوَالَ حَيَاتِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ، فَحَفِظَ وَصَايَايَ وَفَرَائِضِي.

35 but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, — the ten tribes.

٣٥ إِنَّمَا أُمَزِّقُ الْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ يَدِ ابْنِهِ، وَأُوَلِّيكَ عَلَى عَشْرَةِ أَسْبَاطٍ مِنْهَا،

36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen for myself to put my name there.

٣٦ تَارِكاً لاِبْنِهِ سِبْطاً وَاحِداً، لِيَظَلَّ أَمَامِي دَائِماً سِرَاجٌ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا لِنَفْسِي لأَضَعَ اسْمِي عَلَيْهَا.

37 And I will take thee, that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.

٣٧ أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَأُنَصِّبُكَ مَلِكاً لِتَحْكُمَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفْقاً لِرَغْبَةِ نَفْسِكَ.

38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my sight, in keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with thee, and build thee a lasting house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.

٣٨ فَإِنْ أَطَعْتَ كُلَّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ وَسَلَكْتَ فِي سُبُلِي، وَصَنَعْتَ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَحَفِظْتَ فَرَائِضِي وَوَصَايَايَ كَمَا فَعَلَ دَاوُدُ عَبْدِي، أَكُونُ مَعَكَ وَأُرَسِّخُ لَكَ مُلْكاً آمِناً كَمَا بَنَيْتُ لِدَاوُدَ، وَأُعْطِيكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.

٣٩ وَأُذِلُّ ذُرِّيَّةَ دَاوُدَ إِلَى حِينٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا الإِثْمِ».

40 And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam; and Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt; and he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

٤٠ وَسَعَى سُلَيْمَانُ إِلَى قَتْلِ يَرُبْعَامَ، فَلَجَأَ يَرُبْعَامُ إِلَى شِيشَقَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ حَتَّى وَفَاةِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

41 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

٤١ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَعْمَالِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَكُلُّ مَا صَنَعَ، وَأَقْوَالُ حِكْمَتِهِ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ تَارِيخِ سُلَيْمَانَ؟

42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

٤٢ وَدَامَ مُلْكُ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

٤٣ ثُمَّ مَاتَ سُلَيْمَانُ، فَدُفِنَ مَعَ أَسْلافِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ رَحُبْعَامُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.
