2 Chronicles 18
1 And Jehoshaphat has riches and honor in abundance, and joins affinity to Ahab,
| وَكَانَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ مَوْفُورَ الثَّرَاءِ وَالْكَرَامَةِ، وَصَاهَرَ آخْابَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ |
2 and goes down at the end of [certain] years to Samaria to [visit] Ahab, and Ahab sacrifices sheep and oxen in abundance for him and for the people who [are] with him, and persuades him to go up to Ramoth-Gilead.
| وَذَهَبَ بَعْدَ سِنِينَ لِزِيَارَتِهِ فِي السَّامِرَةِ، فَذَبَحَ آخْابُ لَهُ وَلِمُرَافِقِيهِ ذَبَائِحَ كَثِيرَةً مِنْ غَنَمٍ وَبَقَرٍ، وَأَغْرَاهُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ مَعَهُ لِمُوَاجَهَةِ رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ. | ٢ |
3 And Ahab king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Do you go with me [to] Ramoth-Gilead?” And he says to him, “As I—so you, and as your people—my people, and [we go] with you into the battle.”
| قَائِلاً لَهُ: «أَتَذْهَبُ مَعِي لِمُحَارَبَةِ رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «مَثَلِي مَثَلُكَ، وَشَعْبِي كَشَعْبِكَ، وَأَنَا مَعَكَ فِي الْقِتَالِ». | ٣ |
4 And Jehoshaphat says to the king of Israel, “Please seek the word of YHWH this day.”
| ثُمَّ أَضَافَ: «إِنَّمَا اطْلُبْ أَوَّلاً مَشُورَةَ الرَّبِّ». | ٤ |
5 And the king of Israel gathers the prophets, four hundred men, and says to them, “Do we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I refrain?” And they say, “Go up, and God gives [it] into the hand of the king.”
| فَجَمَعَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَسَأَلَهُمْ: «أَنَذْهَبُ لِلْحَرْبِ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ أَمْ لا؟» فَأَجَابُوا: «اذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ يُظْفِرُ الْمَلِكَ بِها». | ٥ |
6 And Jehoshaphat says, “[Is there] not still a prophet of YHWH here, and we seek from him?”
| فَسَأَلَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «أَلا يُوْجَدُ هُنَا نَبِيٌّ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ الرَّبِّ فَنَسْأَلَهُ الْمَشُورَةَ؟» | ٦ |
7 And the king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat, “[There is] still one man to seek YHWH from him, and I have hated him, for he is not prophesying of good concerning me, but of evil [for] all his days, he [is] Micaiah son of Imlah”; and Jehoshaphat says, “Do not let the king say so.”
| فَأَجَابَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «يُوْجَدُ بَعْدُ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ يُمْكِنُنَا عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ أَنْ نَطْلُبَ مَشُورَةَ الرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنَّنِي أَمْقُتُهُ، لأَنَّهُ لَا يَتَنَبَّأُ عَلَيَّ بِغَيْرِ الشَّرِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ. إِنَّهُ مِيخَا بْنُ يَمْلَةَ». فَقَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «لا تَقُلْ هَذَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ». | ٧ |
8 And the king of Israel calls to a certain officer and says, “Hurry Micaiah son of Imlah.”
| فَاسْتَدْعَى الْمَلِكُ خَصِيًّا وَقَالَ: «أَسْرِعْ وَائْتِ لِي بِمِيخَا بْنِ يَمْلَةَ». | ٨ |
9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, and they are sitting in a threshing-floor at the opening of the Gate of Samaria, and all the prophets are prophesying before them.
| وَكَانَ كُلٌّ مِنْ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوشَافَاطَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ فِي سَاحَةٍ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ السَّامِرَةِ، وَقَدِ ارْتَدَيَا حُلَلَهُمَا الْمَلَكِيَّةَ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ (الكَذَبَةُ) جَمِيعُهُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ أَمَامَهُمَا. | ٩ |
10 And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah makes horns of iron for himself and says, “Thus said YHWH:
| وَصَنَعَ صِدْقِيَّا بْنُ كَنْعَنَةَ لِنَفْسِهِ قَرْنَيْ حَدِيدٍ وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: بِهَذِهِ تَنْطَحُ الأَرَامِيِّينَ حَتَّى يَهْلِكُوا». | ١٠ |
11 With these you push Aram until you have consumed them.” And all the prophets are prophesying so, saying, “Go up [to] Ramath-Gilead and prosper, and YHWH has given [it] into the hand of the king.”
| وَتَنَبَّأَ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلامِ قَائِلِينَ: «اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ فَتَظْفَرَ بِها، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُسَلِّمُهَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ». | ١١ |
12 And the messenger who has gone to call for Micaiah has spoken to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets [as] one mouth [are] good toward the king, and please let your word be like one of theirs: and you have spoken good.”
| وَأَمَّا الرَّسُولُ الَّذِي انْطَلَقَ لاسْتِدْعَاءِ مِيخَا فَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَقَدْ تَنَبَّأَ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ بِفَمٍ وَاحِدٍ مُبَشِّرِينَ الْمَلِكَ بِالْخَيْرِ، فَلْيَكُنْ كَلامُكَ مُوَافِقاً لِكَلامِهِمْ، يَحْمِلُ بَشَائِرَ الْخَيْرِ». | ١٢ |
13 And Micaiah says “YHWH lives, surely that which my God says, I speak it.”
| فَأَجَابَ مِيخَا: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، إِنَّنِي لَنْ أَنْطِقَ إِلّا بِمَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٣ |
14 And he comes to the king, and the king says to him, “Micaiah, do we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I refrain?” And he says, “Go up, and prosper, and they are given into your hand.”
| وَلَمَّا مَثَلَ مِيخَا أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ، سَأَلَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «يَا مِيخَا، أَنَذْهَبُ لِلْحَرْبِ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ أَمْ نَمْتَنِعُ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ: «اذْهَبْ فَتَظْفَرَ بِها لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُسَلِّمُهَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ». | ١٤ |
15 And the king says to him, “How many times am I adjuring you that you speak to me only truth in the Name of YHWH?”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «كَمْ مَرَّةٍ اسْتَحْلَفْتُكَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أَلّا تُخْبِرَنِي إِلّا الْحَقَّ؟» | ١٥ |
16 And he says, “I have seen all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd, and YHWH says, There are no masters for these, they each return to his house in peace.”
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ مِيخَا: «رَأَيْتُ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُبَدَّدِينَ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ كَخِرَافٍ بِلا رَاعٍ. فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: لَيْسَ لِهَؤُلاءِ قَائِدٌ. فَلْيَرْجِعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ بِسَلامٍ» | ١٦ |
17 And the king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not say to you [that] he does not prophesy good concerning me, but rather of evil?”
| فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ: «أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَتَنَبَّأُ عَلَيَّ بِغَيْرِ الشَّرِّ؟» | ١٧ |
18 And [Micaiah] says, “Therefore, hear a word of YHWH: I have seen YHWH sitting on His throne, and all the host of the heavens standing on His right and His left;
| فَأَجَابَ مِيخَا: «إِذاً فَاسْمَعْ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ. قَدْ شَاهَدْتُ الرَّبَّ جَالِساً عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، وَكُلُّ أَجْنَادِ السَّمَاءِ وُقُوفٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ. | ١٨ |
19 and YHWH says, Who entices Ahab king of Israel, and he goes up and falls in Ramoth-Gilead? And this speaker says thus, and that speaker thus.
| فَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ: مَنْ يُغْوِي آخْابَ لِيَخْرُجَ إِلَى الْحَرْبِ وَيَمُوتَ فِي رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ؟ فَأَجَابَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ. | ١٩ |
20 And the spirit goes out, and stands before YHWH, and says, I entice him; and YHWH says to him, With what?
| ثُمَّ بَرَزَ رُوحٌ وَوَقَفَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: أَنَا أُغْوِيهِ. فَسَأَلَهُ الرَّبُّ: بِمَاذَا؟ | ٢٠ |
21 And he says, I go out, and have become a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets. And He says, You entice, and also, you are able; go out and do so.
| فَأَجَابَ: أَخْرُجُ وَأُصْبِحُ رُوحَ ضَلالٍ فِي أَفْوَاهِ جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ. فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: إِنَّكَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى إِغْوَائِهِ وَتُفْلِحُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَامْضِ وَنَفِّذِ الأَمْرَ. | ٢١ |
22 And now, behold, YHWH has put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and YHWH has spoken calamity concerning you.”
| وَهَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ جَعَلَ الآنَ رُوحَ ضَلالٍ فِي أَفْوَاهِ جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ هَؤُلاءِ، وَقَدْ قَضَى عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّرِّ». | ٢٢ |
23 And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah comes near and strikes Micaiah on the cheek, and says, “Where [is] this—the way the spirit [from] YHWH passed over from me to speak with you?”
| فَاقْتَرَبَ صِدْقِيَّا بْنُ كَنْعَنَةَ مِنْ مِيخَا وَضَرَبَهُ عَلَى الْفَكِّ قَائِلاً: «مِنْ أَيْنَ عَبَرَ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ مِنِّي لِيُكَلِّمَكَ؟» | ٢٣ |
24 And Micaiah says, “Behold, you see in that day that you enter into the innermost chamber to be hidden.”
| فَأَجَابَهُ مِيخَا: «سَتَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي تَلْجَأُ فِيهِ لِلاِخْتِبَاءِ مِنْ مُخْدَعٍ إِلَى مُخْدَعٍ». | ٢٤ |
25 And the king of Israel says, “Take Micaiah, and turn him back to Amon head of the city, and to Joash son of the king,
| حِينَئِذٍ أَمَرَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «اقْبِضُوا عَلَى مِيخَا وَسَلِّمُوهُ إِلَى آمُونَ رَئِيسِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَإِلَى يُوآشَ ابْنِ الْمَلِكِ، | ٢٥ |
26 and you have said, Thus said the king: Put this [one] in the house of restraint, and cause him to eat bread of oppression, and water of oppression, until my return in peace.”
| وَقُولُوا لَهُمَا: إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ قَدْ أَمَرَ بِإِيْدَاعِ هَذَا فِي السِّجْنِ وَأَطْعِمُوهُ خُبْزَ الضِّيقِ وَمَاءَ الضِّيقِ، حَتَّى يَرْجِعُ مِنَ الْحَرْبِ بِسَلامٍ». | ٢٦ |
27 And Micaiah says, “If you certainly return in peace, YHWH has not spoken by me”; and he says, “Hear, O peoples, all of them!”
| فَأَجَابَهُ مِيخَا: «إِنْ رَجَعْتَ بِسَلامٍ فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ لَا يَكُونُ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ عَلَى لِسَانِي، فَاشْهَدُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ جَمِيعاً». | ٢٧ |
28 And the king of Israel goes up—and Jehoshaphat king of Judah—to Ramoth-Gilead;
| وَتَوَجَّهَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ، | ٢٨ |
29 and the king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat to disguise himself, and to go into battle, “And you, put on your garments.” And the king of Israel disguises himself, and they go into battle.
| فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ: «إِنَّنِي سَأَخُوضُ الْحَرْبَ مُتَنَكِّراً، أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَارْتَدِ ثِيَابَكَ الْمَلَكِيَّةَ». وَهَكَذَا تَنَكَّرَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَخَاضَا الْحَرْبَ. | ٢٩ |
30 And the king of Aram has commanded the heads of the charioteers whom he has, saying, “You do not fight with small or with great, except with the king of Israel by himself.”
| وَأَمَرَ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ قُوَّادَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ: «لا تُحَارِبُوا صَغِيراً وَلا كَبِيراً إِلّا مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَحْدَهُ». | ٣٠ |
31 And it comes to pass at the heads of the charioteers seeing Jehoshaphat, that they have said, “He is the king of Israel,” and they turn around against him to fight, and Jehoshaphat cries out, and YHWH has helped him, and God entices them from him;
| فَلَمَّا شَاهَدَ قُوَّادُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَحَاصَرُوهُ لِيُقَاتِلُوهُ، فَأَطْلَقَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ صَرْخَةً فَأَغَاثَهُ الرَّبُّ وَرَدَّهُمْ عَنْهُ. | ٣١ |
32 indeed, it comes to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing that it has not been the king of Israel—they turn back from after him.
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَدْرَكَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَحَوَّلُوا عَنْهُ. | ٣٢ |
33 And a man has drawn with a bow in his simplicity, and strikes the king of Israel between the joinings and the coat of mail, and he says to the charioteer, “Turn your hand, and you have brought me out of the camp, for I have become [gravely] sick.”
| وَلَكِنْ حَدَثَ أَنَّ جُنْدِيًّا أَطْلَقَ سَهْمَهُ عَنْ غَيْرِ عَمْدٍ، فَأَصَابَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْنَ أَوْصَالِ دِرْعِهِ، فَقَالَ لِقَائِدِ مَرْكَبَتِهِ: «أَخْرِجْنِي مِنَ الْمَعْرَكَةِ لأَنَّنِي قَدْ جُرِحْتُ». | ٣٣ |
34 And the battle increases on that day, and the king of Israel has been propped up in the chariot in front of Aram until the evening, and he dies at the time of the going in of the sun.
| وَاشْتَدَّ الْقِتَالُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، فَتَحَامَل مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ، وَظَلَّ وَاقِفاً فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ الأَرَامِيِّينَ إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ ثُمَّ مَاتَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ. | ٣٤ |
