1 Kings 15

1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.

١ وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةِ عَشْرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، مَلَكَ أَبِيَامُ عَلَى يَهُوذَا.

2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

٢ مَلَكَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَعْكَةُ ٱبْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ.

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

٣ وَسَارَ فِي جَمِيعِ خَطَايَا أَبِيهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا قَبْلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ كَامِلًا مَعَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ كَقَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ.

4 Nevertheless for David’s sake did Yhwh his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

٤ وَلَكِنْ لِأَجْلِ دَاوُدَ أَعْطَاهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُ سِرَاجًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِذْ أَقَامَ ٱبْنَهُ بَعْدَهُ وَثَبَّتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of Yhwh, 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 لِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ عَمِلَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا أَوْصَاهُ بِهِ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، إِلَّا فِي قَضِيَّةِ أُورِيَّا ٱلْحِثِّيِّ.

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

٦ وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ رَحُبْعَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

7 Now 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 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَبِيَامَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ أَبِيَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ.

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 ٱضْطَجَعَ أَبِيَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ آسَا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.

٩ وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِيَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلَكَ آسَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا.

10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

١٠ مَلَكَ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَعْكَةُ ٱبْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ.

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

١١ وَعَمِلَ آسَا مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ،

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

١٢ وَأَزَالَ ٱلْمَأْبُونِينَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَنَزَعَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَصْنَامِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا آبَاؤُهُ،

13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

١٣ حَتَّى إِنَّ مَعْكَةَ أُمَّهُ خَلَعَهَا مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلِكَةً، لِأَنَّهَا عَمِلَتْ تِمْثَالًا لِسَارِيَةٍ، وَقَطَعَ آسَا تِمْثَالَهَا وَأَحْرَقَهُ فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ.

14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with Yhwh all his days.

١٤ وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ فَلَمْ تُنْزَعْ، إِلَّا إِنَّ قَلْبَ آسَا كَانَ كَامِلًا مَعَ ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ.

15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of Yhwh, silver, and gold, and vessels.

١٥ وَأَدْخَلَ أَقْدَاسَ أَبِيهِ وَأَقْدَاسَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْآنِيَةِ.

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

١٦ وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِمَا.

17 And Baasha 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 وَصَعِدَ بَعْشَا مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَبَنَى ٱلرَّامَةَ لِكَيْ لَا يَدَعَ أَحَدًا يَخْرُجُ أَوْ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.

18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Yhwh, 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 Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

١٨ وَأَخَذَ آسَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ فِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَدَفَعَهَا لِيَدِ عَبِيدِهِ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ آسَا إِلَى بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ طَبْرِيمُونَ بْنِ حَزْيُونَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ ٱلسَّاكِنِ فِي دِمَشْقَ قَائِلًا:

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

١٩ «إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ أَبِي وَأَبِيكَ عَهْدًا. هُوَذَا قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ لَكَ هَدِيَّةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، فَتَعَالَ ٱنْقُضْ عَهْدَكَ مَعَ بَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَصْعَدَ عَنِّي».

20 So Ben–hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the armies which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel–beth–maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

٢٠ فَسَمِعَ بَنْهَدَدُ لِلْمَلِكِ آسَا وَأَرْسَلَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْجُيُوشِ ٱلَّتِي لَهُ عَلَى مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَضَرَبَ عُيُونَ وَدَانَ وَآبَلَ بَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ وَكُلَّ كِنَّرُوتَ مَعَ كُلِّ أَرْضِ نَفْتَالِي.

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

٢١ وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بَعْشَا كَفَّ عَنْ بِنَاءِ ٱلرَّامَةِ وَأَقَامَ فِي تِرْصَةَ.

22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

٢٢ فَٱسْتَدْعَى ٱلْمَلِكُ آسَا كُلَّ يَهُوذَا. لَمْ يَكُنْ بَرِيءٌ. فَحَمَلُوا كُلَّ حِجَارَةِ ٱلرَّامَةِ وَأَخْشَابِهَا ٱلَّتِي بَنَاهَا بَعْشَا، وَبَنَى بِهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ آسَا جَبْعَ بَنْيَامِينَ وَٱلْمِصْفَاةَ.

23 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? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

٢٣ وَبَقِيَّةُ كُلِّ أُمُورِ آسَا وَكُلُّ جَبَرُوتِهِ وَكُلُّ مَا فَعَلَ وَٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي بَنَاهَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ فِي زَمَانِ شَيْخُوخَتِهِ مَرِضَ 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 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ آسَا مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَمَلَكَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

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

٢٥ وَمَلَكَ نَادَابُ بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فَمَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ سَنَتَيْنِ.

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

٢٦ وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ أَبِيهِ وَفِي خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

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

٢٧ وَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا مِنْ بَيْتِ يَسَّاكَرَ، وَضَرَبَهُ بَعْشَا فِي جِبَّثُونَ ٱلَّتِي لِلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَكَانَ نَادَابُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُحَاصِرِينَ جِبَّثُونَ.

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

٢٨ وَأَمَاتَهُ بَعْشَا فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَمَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that 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 Yhwh, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:

٢٩ وَلَمَّا مَلَكَ ضَرَبَ كُلَّ بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ. لَمْ يُبْقِ نَسَمَةً لِيَرُبْعَامَ حَتَّى أَفْنَاهُمْ، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ أَخِيَّا ٱلشِّيلُونِيِّ،

30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked Yhwh God of Israel to anger.

٣٠ لِأَجْلِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَهَا وَٱلَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ بِإِغَاظَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَغَاظَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ 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 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ نَادَابَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

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

٣٢ وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِمَا.

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

٣٣ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تِرْصَةَ أَرْبَعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

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

٣٤ وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَفِي خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.
