1 Kings 15

1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.

١ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، اعْتَلَى أَبِيَامُ عَرْشَ يَهُوذَا،

2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

٢ وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَعْكَةُ ابْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ.

3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not whole with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

٣ وَارْتَكَبَ جَمِيعَ خَطَايَا أَبِيهِ الَّتِي اقْتَرَفَهَا قَبْلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ مُخْلِصاً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ كَقَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ.

4 Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;

٤ إِلّا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُ إِكْرَاماً لِدَاوُدَ، رَزَقَهُ ابْناً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَأَوْرَثَهُ الْمُلْكَ وَثَبَّتَ أَرْكَانَ أُورُشَليمَ،

5 because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that He commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

٥ لأَنَّ دَاوُدَ صَنَعَ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، إِلّا مَا جَنَاهُ بِحَقِّ أُورِيَّا الْحِثِّيِّ.

6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

٦ وَخِلالَ فَتْرَةِ حُكْمِ أَبِيَامَ كَانَتِ الْحُرُوبُ مُسْتَمِرَّةً بَيْنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا.

7 And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

٧ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَعْمَالِ أَبِيَامَ وَمُنْجَزَاتِهِ أَلَيْسَتْ هِي مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

٨ ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَبِيَامُ، فَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آسَا عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.

٩ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

١٠ وَمَلَكَ آسَا إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ جَدَّتِهِ مَعْكَةُ ابْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ،

11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

١١ وَصَنَعَ آسَا مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ

12 And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

١٢ وَأَبَادَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ طَائِفَةَ الْعَاهِرِينَ الَّذِينَ يُمَارِسُونَ الشُّذُوذَ الْجِنْسِيَّ كَجُزْءٍ مِنْ عِبَادَتِهِمِ الْوَثَنِيَّةِ، وَاسْتَأْصَلَ جَمِيعَ الأَصْنَامِ الَّتِي أَقَامَهَا آبَاؤُهُ.

13 And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

١٣ كَمَا خَلَعَ جَدَّتَهُ مَعْكَةَ مِنْ مَنْصِبِ الأُمِّ الْمَلِكَةِ، لأَنَّهَا أَقَامَتْ تِمْثَالاً لِعَشْتَارُوثَ، فَانْتَزَعَ آسَا تِمْثَالَهَا وَأَحْرَقَهُ فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ.

14 But the high places were not taken away; nevertheless the heart of Asa was whole with the LORD all his days.

١٤ أَمَّا مَذَابِحُ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ فَلَمْ يَهْدِمْهَا، إِلّا أَنَّ قَلْبَهُ كَانَ خَالِصَ الْوَلاءِ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ.

15 And he brought into the house of the LORD the things that his father had hallowed, and the things that himself had hallowed, silver, and gold, and vessels.

١٥ وَجَاءَ بِكُلِّ مَا خَصَّصَهُ أَبُوهُ وَمَا خَصَّصَهُ هُوَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ وَسِوَاهَا مِنَ الآنِيَةِ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.

16 And there was war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel all their days.

١٦ وَظَلَّتِ الْحَرْبُ دَائِرَةً بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ طُوَالَ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِمَا.

17 And Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

١٧ وَشَرَعَ الْمَلِكُ بَعْشَا فِي بِنَاءِ مَدِينَةِ الرَّامَةِ، لِقَطْعِ الطَّرِيقِ عَلَى الْخَارِجِينَ وَالدَّاخِلِينَ إِلَى آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا،

18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, that dwelt at Damascus, saying:

١٨ فَجَمَعَ آسَا بَقِيَّةَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ الْمَوْجُودَةَ فِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَخَزائِنِ قَصْرِهِ، وَأَعْطَاهَا لِرِجَالِهِ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ طَبْرِيمُونَ بْنِ حَزْيُونَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ الْمُقِيمِ فِي دِمَشْقَ قَائِلاً:

19 'There is a league between me and thee, between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.'

١٩ «إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ أَبِي وَأَبِيكَ عَهْداً، وَهَا أَنَا بَاعِثٌ إِلَيْكَ هَدِيَّةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، فَهَيَّا انْكُثْ عَهْدَكَ مَعَ بَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَكُفَّ عَنِّي».

20 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

٢٠ فَلَبَّى بَنْهَدَدُ طَلَبَ آسَا، وَأَرْسَلَ رُؤَسَاءَ جُيُوشِهِ فَهَاجَمُوا مُدُنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَدَمَّرَ مُدُنَ عُيُونَ وَدَانَ وَآبَلَ بَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ وَكُلَّ مِنْطَقَةِ كِنَّرُوتَ وَسَائِرَ أَرْضِ نَفْتَالِي.

21 And it came to pass, when Baasa heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

٢١ وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَتْ بَعْشَا أَنْبَاءُ الْهُجُومِ، كَفَّ عَنْ بِنَاءِ الرَّامَةِ وَأَقَامَ فِي تِرْصَةَ.

22 Then king Asa made a proclamation unto all Judah; none was exempted; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had builded; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

٢٢ وَاسْتَدْعَى الْمَلِكُ آسَا كُلَّ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَلَمْ يُعْفِ أَحَداً، فَحَمَلُوا كُلَّ حِجَارَةِ الرَّامَةِ وَأَخْشَابِهَا الَّتِي اسْتَخْدَمَهَا بَعْشَا فِي بِنَاءِ الرَّامَةِ وَشَيَّدَ بِها الْمَلِكُ آسَا جَبْعَ بِنْيَامِينَ وَالْمِصْفَاةَ.

23 Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

٢٣ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ آسَا وَكُلُّ إِنْجَازَاتِهِ وَمَا قَامَ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ وَمَا بَنَاهُ مِنْ مُدُنٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ وَأُصِيبَ الْمَلِكُ آسَا فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ بِدَاءٍ فِي رِجْلَيْهِ.

24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

٢٤ وَعِنْدَمَا مَاتَ دُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ يَهُوشَافَاطُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.

٢٥ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى نَادَابُ بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ سَنَتَيْنِ.

26 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

٢٦ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَسَلَكَ فِي سُبُلِ أَبِيهِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ الَّتِي أَفْضَتْ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى اقْتِرَافِ الإِثْمِ.

27 And Baasa the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasa smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

٢٧ وَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا مِنْ بَيْتِ يَسَّاكَرَ، وَاغْتَالَهُ بَيْنَمَا كَانَ نَادَابُ وَجَيْشُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ يُحَاصِرُونَ مَدِينَةَ جِبَّثُونَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّةَ.

28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasa slay him, and reigned in his stead.

٢٨ وَقَدِ اغْتَالَهُ بَعْشَا فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

29 And it came to pass that, as soon as he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him; according unto the saying of the LORD, which He spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

٢٩ وَمَا إِنْ تَوَلَّى زِمَامَ الْمُلْكِ حَتَّى أَبَادَ كُلَّ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَلَمْ يُبْقِ عَلَى نَسَمَةٍ مِنْهُمْ، تَحْقِيقاً لِقَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبْدِهِ أَخِيَّا الشِّيلُونِيِّ،

30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; because of his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel.

٣٠ بِسَبَبِ آثَامِ يَرُبْعَامَ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبَهَا وَاسْتَغْوَى بِها بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَخْطَأُوا، فَأَثَارَ غَيْظَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٣١ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ نَادَابَ وَسائِرُ أَعْمَالِهِ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

32 And there was war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel all their days.

٣٢ وَظَلَّتْ رَحَى الْحَرْبِ دَائِرَةً بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِهِمَا.

33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasa the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty and four years.

٣٣ وَتَوَلَّى بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا حُكْمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تِرْصَةَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِ آسَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ أَرْبَعاً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

34 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

٣٤ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ وَسَلَكَ فِي طُرُقِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَفِي خَطِيئَتِهِ الَّتِي جَعَلَتْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقْتَرِفُونَ الإِثْمَ.
