< 2 Kings 1 >

1 AND MOAB rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
وَتَمَرَّدَ الْمُوآبِيُّونَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ آخْابَ،١
2 And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick; and he sent messengers, and said unto them: 'Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this sickness.'
وَسَقَطَ أَخَزْيَا مِنْ كُوَّةٍ فِي عُلِّيَّةِ قَصْرِهِ فِي السَّامِرَةِ، فَأُصِيبَ بِجُرْحٍ قَاتِلٍ. وَبَعَثَ رُسُلاً إِلَى مَعْبَدِ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهِ عَقْرُونَ قَائِلاً: «امْضُوا وَاسْأَلُوهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَبْرَأُ مِنْ جُرْحِي؟»٢
3 But an angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite: 'Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them: Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
فَقَالَ مَلاكُ الرَّب لإِيلِيَّا التَّشْبِيِّ: «قُمْ وَاذْهَبْ لِلِقَاءِ رُسُلِ مَلِكِ السَّامِرَةِ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَلْ لأَنَّهُ لَا يُوْجَدُ إِلَهٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَذْهَبُونَ لِسُؤَالِ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهِ عَقْرُونَ؟٣
4 Now therefore thus saith the LORD: Thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.' And Elijah departed.
لِذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنَّ السَّرِيرَ الَّذِي رَقَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ لَنْ تَنْهَضَ عَنْهُ، بَلْ حَتْماً تَمُوتَ». وَانْصَرَفَ إِيلِيَّا.٤
5 And the messengers returned unto him, and he said unto them: 'Why is it that ye are returned?'
وَرَجَعَ الرُّسُلُ إِلَى أَخَزْيَا فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا رَجَعْتُمْ؟»٥
6 And they said unto him: 'There came up a man to meet us, and said unto us: Go, return unto the king that sent you, and say unto him: Thus saith the LORD: Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.'
فَأَجَابُوهُ: «اعْتَرَضَنَا رَجُلٌ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ لِنُخْبِرَكَ أَنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ: هَلْ لأَنَّهُ لَا يُوْجَدُ إِلَهٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تُرْسِلُ لِتَسْأَلَ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ؟ لِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ السَّرِيرَ الَّذِي رَقَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ لَنْ تَنْهَضَ عَنْهُ بَلْ حَتْماً تَمُوتَ».٦
7 And he said unto them: 'What manner of man was he that came up to meet you, and told you these words?'
فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «مَا أَوْصَافُ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي اعْتَرَضَكُمْ وَبَلَّغَكُمْ هَذَا الْكَلامَ؟»٧
8 And they answered him: 'He was a hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins.' And he said: 'It is Elijah the Tishbite.'
فَأَجَابُوهُ: «إِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ كَثِيفُ الشَّعْرِ مُتَنَطِّقٌ بِحِزامٍ مِنْ جِلْدٍ حَوْلَ حَقْوَيْهِ». فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ حَتْماً إِيلِيَّا التَّشْبِيُّ».٨
9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him; and, behold, he sat on the top of the hill. And he spoke unto him: 'O man of God, the king hath said: Come down.'
فَأَرْسَلَ أَحَدَ قَادَتِهِ عَلَى رَأْسِ خَمْسِينَ جُنْدِيًّا إِلَى إِيلِيَّا، الَّذِي كَانَ جَالِساً آنَئِذٍ عَلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلٍ. فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا رَجُلَ اللهِ، إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ يَأْمُرُكَ بِمُرَافَقَتِنَا».٩
10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty: 'If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.' And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
فَأَجَابَ إِيلِيَّا: «إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا رَجُلَ اللهِ، فَلْتَنْزِلْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَتَلْتَهِمْكَ أَنْتَ وَرِجَالَكَ الْخَمْسِينَ». فَنَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْتَهَمَتْهُ مَعَ رِجَالِهِ الْخَمْسِينَ.١٠
11 And again he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him: 'O man of God, thus hath the king said: Come down quickly.'
فَعَادَ أَخَزْيَا وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ قَائِداً آخَرَ عَلَى رَأْسِ خَمْسِينَ جُنْدِيًّا، فَقَالَ لإِيلِيَّا: «يَا رَجُلَ اللهِ، الْمَلِكُ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُسْرِعَ وَتَنْزِلَ».١١
12 And Elijah answered and said unto them: 'If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.' And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
فَأَجَابَهُ إِيلِيَّا: «إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا رَجُلَ اللهِ، فَلْتَنْزِلْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَتَلْتَهِمْكَ أَنْتَ وَرِجَالَكَ الْخَمْسِينَ». فَنَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْتَهَمَتْهُ مَعَ رِجَالِهِ الْخَمْسِينَ.١٢
13 And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him: 'O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ أَخَزْيَا لِلْمَرَّةِ الثَّالِثَةِ قَائِداً آخَرَ عَلَى رَأْسِ خَمْسِينَ جُنْدِيًّا. فَأَقْبَلَ هَذَا إِلَى إِيلِيَّا وَجَثَا أَمَامَهُ وَتَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: «يَا رَجُلَ اللهِ، لِتَكُنْ نَفْسِي وَنُفُوسُ عَبِيدِكَ هَؤُلاءِ عَزِيزَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ.١٣
14 Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in thy sight'
لَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الْتَهَمَتِ الْقَائِدَيْنِ السَّابِقَيْنِ مَعَ رِجَالِهِمَا الْمِئَةِ، فَأَرْجُوكَ لِتَكُنْ نَفْسِي عَزِيزَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ (وَلا تَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا)».١٤
15 And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah: 'Go down with him; be not afraid of him.' And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
فَقَالَ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ لإِيلِيَّا: «امْضِ مَعَهُ وَلا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ». فَقَامَ وَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُ لِمُقَابَلَةِ الْمَلِكِ.١٥
16 And he said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whether thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.'
وَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِلْمَلِكِ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّكَ أَرْسَلْتَ مَبْعُوثِينَ لِتَسْتَشِيرَ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ وَكَأَنَّهُ لَا يُوْجَدُ إِلَهٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِتَسْأَلَهُ، فَإِنَّ السَّرِيرَ الَّذِي رَقَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ لَنْ تَنْهَضَ عَنْهُ، بَلْ حَتْماً تَمُوتَ».١٦
17 So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
فَمَاتَ أَخَزْيَا بِمُوْجِبِ كَلامِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِيلِيَّا. وَإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ابْنٌ، خَلَفَهُ أَخُوهُ يَهُورَامُ، وَذَلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ يَهُورَامَ بْنِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.١٧
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ أَخَزْيَا وَأَعْمَالُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟١٨
