2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
| وَذَهَبَ رَحُبْعَامُ إِلَى شَكِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى شَكِيمَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُمَلِّكُوهُ. | ١ |
2 And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَبَاطَ، وَهُوَ فيِ مِصْرَ حَيْثُ هَرَبَ مِنْ وَجْهِ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، رَجَعَ يَرُبْعَامُ مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ٢ |
3 And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam saying,
| فَأَرْسَلُوا وَدَعَوْهُ، فَأَتَى يَرُبْعَامُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَلَّمُوا رَحُبْعَامَ قَائِلِينَ: | ٣ |
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
| «إِنَّ أَبَاكَ قَسَّى نِيرَنَا، فَٱلْآنَ خَفِّفْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ أَبِيكَ ٱلْقَاسِيَةِ وَمِنْ نِيرِهِ ٱلثَّقِيلِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْدِمَكَ». | ٤ |
5 And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ». فَذَهَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ. | ٥ |
6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer to this people?
| فَٱسْتَشَارَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ ٱلشُّيُوخَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَقِفُونَ أَمَامَ سُلَيْمَانَ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ قَائِلًا: «كَيْفَ تُشِيرُونَ أَنْ أَرُدَّ جَوَابًا عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟» | ٦ |
7 And they spoke to him saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
| فَكَلَّمُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ صَالِحًا نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ وَأَرْضَيْتَهُمْ وَكَلَّمْتَهُمْ كَلَامًا حَسَنًا، يَكُونُونَ لَكَ عَبِيدًا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». | ٧ |
8 But he forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, that stood before him.
| فَتَرَكَ مَشُورَةَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّتِي أَشَارُوا بِهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَٱسْتَشَارَ ٱلْأَحْدَاثَ ٱلَّذِينَ نَشَأُوا مَعَهُ وَوَقَفُوا أَمَامَهُ، | ٨ |
9 And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me saying, Lighten the yoke which thy father put upon us?
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «بِمَاذَا تُشِيرُونَ أَنْتُمْ فَنَرُدَّ جَوَابًا عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَلَّمُونِي قَائِلِينَ: خَفِّفْ مِنَ ٱلنِّيرِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ عَلَيْنَا أَبُوكَ؟» | ٩ |
10 And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to the people who have spoken to thee saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and lighten thou it for us, — thus shalt thou say to them: My little [finger] is thicker than my father's loins;
| فَكَلَّمَهُ ٱلْأَحْدَاثُ ٱلَّذِينَ نَشَأُوا مَعَهُ قَائِلِينَ: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَلَّمُوكَ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّ أَبَاكَ ثَقَّلَ نِيرَنَا وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَخَفِّفْ عَنَّا، هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ خِنْصَرِي أَغْلَظُ مِنْ مَتْنَيْ أَبِي. | ١٠ |
11 and whereas my father laid a heavy yoke upon you, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
| وَٱلْآنَ أَبِي حَمَّلَكُمْ نِيرًا ثَقِيلًا وَأَنَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى نِيرِكُمْ. أَبِي أَدَّبَكُمْ بِٱلسِّيَاطِ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَبِٱلْعَقَارِبِ». | ١١ |
12 And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me on the third day.
| فَجَاءَ يَرُبْعَامُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى رَحُبْعَامَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ قَائِلًا: «ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ». | ١٢ |
13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the advice of the old men,
| فَأَجَابَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِقَسَاوَةٍ، وَتَرَكَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ مَشُورَةَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ، | ١٣ |
14 and spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
| وَكَلَّمَهُمْ حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ ٱلْأَحْدَاثِ قَائِلًا: «أَبِي ثَقَّلَ نِيرَكُمْ وَأَنَا أَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ. أَبِي أَدَّبَكُمْ بِٱلسِّيَاطِ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالْعَقَارِبِ». | ١٤ |
15 So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by God, that Jehovah might give effect to his word, which he spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
| وَلَمْ يَسْمَعِ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّبَبَ كَانَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ، لِكَيْ يُقِيمَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَلَامَهُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ أَخِيَّا ٱلشِّيلُونِيِّ إِلَى يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ. | ١٥ |
16 And all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them; and the people answered the king saying, What portion have we in David? and [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel. Now see to thine own house, David! And all Israel went to their tents.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ، جَاوَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْمَلِكَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَيُّ قِسْمٍ لَنَا فِي دَاوُدَ؟ وَلَا نَصِيبَ لَنَا فِي ٱبْنِ يَسَّى! كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. ٱلْآنَ ٱنْظُرْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ يَادَاوُدُ». وَذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى خِيَامِهِمْ. | ١٦ |
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
| وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا فَمَلَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَحُبْعَامُ. | ١٧ |
18 And king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ هَدُورَامَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلتَّسْخِيرِ، فَرَجَمَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ فَمَاتَ. فَبَادَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٨ |
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
| فَعَصَى إِسْرَائِيلُ بَيْتَ دَاوُدَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٩ |
