1 Kings 15

1 And in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam has reigned over Judah;

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

2 he has reigned three years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom;

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

3 and he walks in all the sins of his father that he did before him, and his heart has not been perfect with his God YHWH, as the heart of his father David;

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

4 but for David’s sake his God YHWH has given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise 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 in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, and did not turn aside from all that He commanded him all [the] days of his life—except 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 and there has been 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 matters of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there has been war between Abijam and Jeroboam;

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

8 and Abijam lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Asa reigns 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, Asa has reigned over Judah,

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

10 and he has reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom.

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

11 And Asa does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, like his father David,

١١ وَصَنَعَ آسَا مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ

12 and removes the whoremongers out of the land, and turns aside all the idols that his fathers made;

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

13 and also his mother Maachah—he turns her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for an Asherah, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and burns [it] by the Brook of 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 have not been removed; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect with YHWH [for] all his days,

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

15 and he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of YHWH: 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 has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] all their days,

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

17 and Baasha king of Israel goes up against Judah, and builds Ramah, not to permit anyone going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.

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

18 And Asa takes all the silver and the gold that are left in the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king, and gives them into the hand of his servants, and King Asa sends them to Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling in 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 “A covenant [is] between me and you, between my father and your father; behold, I have sent a reward of silver and gold to you; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goes up from off 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 listens to King Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has against cities of Israel, and strikes Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Chinneroth, besides 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 comes to pass at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and dwells in Tirzah.

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

22 And King Asa has summoned all Judah—there is none exempt—and they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha has built, and King Asa builds with them 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 And the rest of all the matters of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? Only, at 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 lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead.

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

25 And Nadab son of Jeroboam has reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigns over Israel two years,

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

26 and does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and goes in the way of his father, and in his sin that 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 Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspires against him, and Baasha strikes him in Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines—and Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon—

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

28 indeed, Baasha puts him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigns in his stead.

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

29 And it comes to pass, at his reigning, he has struck the whole house of Jeroboam, he has not left any breathing to Jeroboam until his destroying him, according to the word of YHWH, that 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 because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked YHWH, God of Israel, to anger.

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

31 And the rest of the matters of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll 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 has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] 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, Baasha son of Ahijah has reigned over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty-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 does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.

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