Kings III 11
1 And king Solomon was a lover of women. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And he took strange women, as well as the daughter of Pharao, Moabitish, Ammanitish women, Syrians and Idumeans, Chettites, and Amorites;
| وَأُوْلِعَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِنِسَاءٍ غَرِيبَاتٍ كَثِيرَاتٍ، فَضْلاً عَنِ ابْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَتَزَوَّجَ نِسَاءً مُوآبِيَّاتٍ وَعَمُّونِيَّاتٍ وَأَدُومِيَّاتٍ وَصِيدُونِيَّاتٍ وَحِثِّيَّاتٍ، | ١ |
2 of the nations concerning whom the Lord forbade the children of Israel, [saying], You shall not go in to them, and they shall not come in to you, lest they turn away your hearts after their idols: Solomon clave to these in love.
| 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. | ٢ |
| فَكَانَتْ لَهُ سَبْعُ مِئَةِ زَوْجَةٍ، وَثَلاثُ مِئَةِ مَحْظِيَّةٍ، فَانْحَرَفْنَ بِقَلْبِهِ عَنِ الرَّبِّ. | ٣ |
4 And it came to pass in the time of the old age of Solomon, that his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of David his father. And the strange women turned away his heart after their gods. Then Solomon built a high place to Chamos the idol of Moab, and to their king the idol of the children of Ammon,
| فَاسْتَطَعْنَ فِي زَمَنِ شَيْخُوخَتِهِ أَنْ يُغْوِينَ قَلْبَهُ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ مُسْتَقِيماً مَعَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ كَقَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ. | ٤ |
5 and to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians.
| وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ عَبَدَ عَشْتَارُوثَ إلَهَةَ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ، وَمَلْكُومَ إِلَهَ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ الْبَغِيضَ، | ٥ |
6 And thus he acted towards all his strange wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their idols. And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he went not after the Lord, as David his father.
| وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَتْبَعْ سَبِيلَ الرَّبِّ بِكَمَالٍ كَمَا فَعَلَ أَبُوهُ دَاوُدُ. | ٦ |
| وَأَقَامَ عَلَى تَلٍّ شَرْقِيَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ مُرْتَفَعاً لِكَمُوشَ إِلَهِ الْمُوآبِيِّينَ الْفَاسِقِ، وَلِمُولَكَ إِلَهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ الْبَغِيضِ. | ٧ |
| وَشَيَّدَ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ لِجَمِيعِ نِسَائِهِ الْغَرِيبَاتِ، اللَّوَاتِي رُحْنَ يُوْقِدْنَ الْبَخُورَ عَلَيْهَا وَيُقَرِّبْنَ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ لِآلِهَتِهِنَّ. | ٨ |
9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because he turned away his heart from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared twice to him,
| فَغَضِبَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ لأَنَّ قَلْبَهُ ضَلَّ عَنْهُ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ تَجَلَّى لَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ، | ٩ |
10 and charged him concerning this matter, by no means to go after other gods, but to take heed to do what the Lord God commanded him; neither was his heart perfect with the Lord, according to the heart of David his father.
| وَنَهَاهُ عَنِ الْغَوَايَةِ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، فَلَمْ يُطِعْ وَصِيَّتَهُ. | ١٠ |
11 And the Lord said to Solomon, Because it has been thus with you, and you have not kept my commandments and my ordinances which I commanded you, I will surely rend your kingdom out of your hand, and give it to your servant.
| لِهَذَا قَالَ اللهُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ: «لأَنَّكَ انْحَرَفْتَ عَنِّي وَنَكَثْتَ عَهْدِي، وَلَمْ تُطِعْ فَرَائِضِي الَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ بِها، فَإِنِّي حَتْماً أُمَزِّقُ أَوْصَالَ مَمْلَكَتِكَ، وَأُعْطِيهَا لأَحَدِ عَبِيدِكَ. | ١١ |
12 Only in your days I will not do it for David your father's sake: [but] I will take it out of the hand of your son.
| إِلّا أَنَّنِي لَا أَفْعَلُ هَذَا فِي أَيَّامِكَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيكَ، بَلْ مِنْ يَدِ ابْنِكَ أُمَزِّقُهَا. | ١٢ |
13 Only I will not take away the whole kingdom: I will give one tribe to your son for David my servant's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen.
| غَيْرَ أَنِّي أُبْقِي لَهُ سِبْطاً وَاحِداً، يَمْلِكُ عَلَيْهِ إِكْرَاماً لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا». | ١٣ |
14 And the Lord raised up an enemy to Solomon, Ader the Idumaean, and Esrom son of Eliadae who [lived] in Raama, [and] Adadezer king of Suba his master; (and men gathered to him, and he was head of the conspiracy, and he seized on Damasec, ) and they were adversaries to Israel all the days of Solomon: and Ader the Idumaean [was] of the seed royal in Idumaea.
| وَأَثَارَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ هَدَدَ سَلِيلَ النَّسْلِ المَلَكِيِّ الأَدُومِيِّ، | ١٤ |
15 And it happened, that while David was utterly destroying Edom, while Joab captain of the host was going to bury the dead, when they killed every male in Idumaea;
| فَفِيمَا كَانَ دَاوُدُ فِي أَدُومَ، صَعِدَ يُوآبُ رَئِيسُ الْجَيْشِ لِدَفْنِ الْقَتْلَى، وَقَضَى عَلَى كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ فِي أَدُومَ. | ١٥ |
16 (for Joab and all Israel abode there six months in Idumaea, until he utterly destroyed every male in Idumaea; )
| إذْ إِنَّ يُوآبَ وَكُلَّ جَيْشِهِ أَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ، أَفْنَوْا خِلالَهَا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ فِي أَدُومَ، | ١٦ |
17 that Ader ran away, he and all the Idumaeans of the servants of his father with him; and they went into Egypt; and Ader [was then] a little child.
| وَلَكِنَّ هَدَدَ وَبَعْضَ رِجَالِ أَبِيهِ الأَدُومِيِّينَ اسْتَطَاعُوا الْهَرَبَ وَاللُّجُوءَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَكَانَ هَدَدُ آنَئِذٍ فَتىً صَغِيراً. | ١٧ |
18 And there rise up men out of the city of Madiam, and they come to Pharan, and take men with them, and come to Pharao king of Egypt: and Ader went in to Pharao, and he gave him a house, and appointed him provision.
| 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، | ١٨ |
19 And Ader found great favor in the sight of Pharao, and he gave him his wife's sister in marriage, the elder sister of Thekemina.
| وَحَظِيَ هَدَدُ بِرِضَى فِرْعَوْنَ، فَزَوَّجَهُ أُخْتَ امْرَأَتِهِ الْمَلِكَةِ تَحْفَنِيسَ، | ١٩ |
20 And the sister of Thekemina bore to him, [even] to Ader, Ganebath her son; and Thekemina brought him up in the midst of the sons of Pharao, and Ganebath was in the midst of the sons of Pharao.
| فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ أُخْتُ تَحْفَنِيسَ ابْناً دَعَاهُ جَنُوبَثَ. وَفَطَمَتْهُ تَحْفَنِيسُ فِي قَصْرِ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَهَكَذَا نَشَأَ جَنُوبَثُ فِي بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ بَيْنَ أَبْنَائِهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 And Ader heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead; and Ader said to Pharao, Let me go, and I will return to my country.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ هَدَدُ فِي مِصْرَ بِمَوْتِ دَاوُدَ وَمَصْرَعِ يُوآبَ رَئِيسِ الْجَيْشِ، قَالَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «دَعْنِي أَمْضِي إِلَى أَرْضِي». | ٢١ |
22 And Pharao said to Ader, What lack you with me? that behold! you seek to depart to your country? and Ader said to him, By all means let me go.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ فِرْعَوْنُ: «هَلِ افْتَقَرْتَ إِلَى شَيْءٍ عِنْدِي حَتَّى تَنْشُدَ الرُّجُوعَ إِلَى أَرْضِكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «لا شَيْءَ إِنَّمَا دَعْنِي أَنْطَلِقُ». | ٢٢ |
23 So Ader returned to his country; this [is] the mischief which Ader did, and he was a bitter enemy of Israel, and he reigned in the land of Edom.
| وَأَثَارَ اللهُ عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ خَصْماً آخَرَ هُوَ رَزُونُ بْنُ أَلِيدَاعَ، الَّذِي هَرَبَ مِنْ عِنْدِ سَيِّدِهِ هَدَدْعَزَرَ مَلِكِ صُوبَةَ، | ٢٣ |
| 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. | ٢٤ |
| وَظَلَّ رَزُونُ خَصْماً لإِسْرَائِيلَ طَوَالَ حَيَاةِ سُلَيْمَانَ، فَضْلاً عَمَّا خَلَقَهُ هَدَدُ مِنْ مَتَاعِبَ. وَهَكَذَا مَلَكَ رَزُونُ فِي دِمَشْقَ وَبَقِيَ عَدُوّاً لإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٥ |
26 And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the Ephrathite of Sarira, the son of a widow, [was] servant of Solomon.
| وَتَمَرَّدَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَابَاطَ الأَفْرَايِمِيُّ مِنْ صَرَدَةَ، وَكَانَ مِنْ رِجَالِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ صَرُوعَةُ وَهِيَ أَرْمَلَةٌ. | ٢٦ |
27 And this [was] the occasion of his lifting up [his] hands against king Solomon: now king Solomon built the citadel, he completed the fortification of the city of David his father.
| أَمَّا سَبَبُ تَمَرُّدِهِ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ فَهُوَ أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بَنَى الْقَلْعَةَ وَسَدَّ الثُّغْرَاتِ فِي سُورِ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، | ٢٧ |
28 And the man Jeroboam was very strong; and Solomon saw the young man that he was active, and he set him over the levies of the house of Joseph.
| وَكَانَ يَرُبْعَامُ رَجُلاً شَدِيدَ الْمِرَاسِ. فَلَمَّا رَأَى سُلَيْمَانُ أَنَّ الشَّابَّ نَشِيطٌ مُجْتَهِدٌ، أَقَامَهُ مُشْرِفاً عَلَى أَعْمَالِ التَّسْخِيرِ فِي أَرْضِ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ. | ٢٨ |
29 And it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went forth from Jerusalem, and Achia the Selonite the prophet found him in the way, and caused him to turn aside out of the way: and Achia was clad with a new garment, and they two [were] alone in the field.
| وَحَدَثَ أَنَّ يَرُبْعَامَ خَرَجَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَالْتَقَاهُ النَّبِيُّ أَخِيَّا الشِّيلُونِيُّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ. وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَرْتَدِي رِدَاءً جَدِيداً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ سِوَاهُمَا فِي الْحَقْلِ، | ٢٩ |
30 And Achia laid hold of his new garment that was upon him, and tore it [into] twelve pieces:
| فَتَنَاوَلَ أَخِيَّا الرِّدَاءَ الْجَدِيدَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَمَزَّقَهُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ قِطْعَةً، | ٣٠ |
31 and he said to Jeroboam, Take to yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give you ten tribes.
| وَقَالَ لِيَرُبْعَامَ: «خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ عَشْرَ قِطَعٍ، لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَا أَنَا أُمَزِّقُ الْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ يَدِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَأُعْطِيكَ عَشَرَةَ أَسْبَاطٍ، | ٣١ |
32 Yet he shall have two tribes, for my servant David's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
| وَلا يَبْقَى لَهُ سِوَى سِبْطٍ وَاحِدٍ إِكْرَاماً لِعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا مِنْ بَيْنِ مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٢ |
33 Because he forsook me, and sacrificed to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos, and to the idols of Moab, and to their king the abomination of the children of Ammon, and he walked not in my ways, to do that which was right before me, as David his father [did].
| 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. | ٣٣ |
34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, (for I will certainly resist him all the days of his life, ) for David my servant's sake, whom I have chosen.
| وَلَكِنِّي لَنْ أَنْزِعَ كُلَّ الْمُلْكِ عَنْهُ، بَلْ أُبْقِيَهُ رَئِيساً طَوَالَ حَيَاتِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ، فَحَفِظَ وَصَايَايَ وَفَرَائِضِي. | ٣٤ |
35 But I will take the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and give you ten tribes.
| إِنَّمَا أُمَزِّقُ الْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ يَدِ ابْنِهِ، وَأُوَلِّيكَ عَلَى عَشْرَةِ أَسْبَاطٍ مِنْهَا، | ٣٥ |
36 But to his son I will give the two [remaining] tribes, that my servant David may have an establishment continually before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
| تَارِكاً لاِبْنِهِ سِبْطاً وَاحِداً، لِيَظَلَّ أَمَامِي دَائِماً سِرَاجٌ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا لِنَفْسِي لأَضَعَ اسْمِي عَلَيْهَا. | ٣٦ |
37 And I will take you, and you shall reign as your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَأُنَصِّبُكَ مَلِكاً لِتَحْكُمَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفْقاً لِرَغْبَةِ نَفْسِكَ. | ٣٧ |
38 And it shall come to pass, if you will keep all the commandments that I shall give you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right before me, to keep my ordinances and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built to David.
| 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. | ٣٨ |
| وَأُذِلُّ ذُرِّيَّةَ دَاوُدَ إِلَى حِينٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا الإِثْمِ». | ٣٩ |
40 And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose and fled into Egypt, to Susakim king of Egypt, and he was in Egypt until Solomon died.
| وَسَعَى سُلَيْمَانُ إِلَى قَتْلِ يَرُبْعَامَ، فَلَجَأَ يَرُبْعَامُ إِلَى شِيشَقَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ حَتَّى وَفَاةِ سُلَيْمَانَ. | ٤٠ |
41 And the rest of the history of Solomon, and all that he did, and all his wisdom, behold are not these things written in the book of the life of Solomon?
| أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَعْمَالِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَكُلُّ مَا صَنَعَ، وَأَقْوَالُ حِكْمَتِهِ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ تَارِيخِ سُلَيْمَانَ؟ | ٤١ |
42 And the days [during] which Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [were] forty years.
| وَدَامَ مُلْكُ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. | ٤٢ |
43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father, and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
| ثُمَّ مَاتَ سُلَيْمَانُ، فَدُفِنَ مَعَ أَسْلافِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ رَحُبْعَامُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ. | ٤٣ |
