< 2 Kings 4 >

1 Now a wife from among the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD, but the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be his slaves."
وَاسْتَغَاثَتْ إِحْدَى نِسَاءِ بَنِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ بِأَلِيشَعَ قَائِلَةً: «عَبْدُكَ زَوْجِي تُوُفِّيَ، وَأَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ، وَقَدْ أَقْبَلَ مُدِينُهُ الْمُرَابِي لِيَأْخُذَ وَلَدَيَّ عَبْدَيْنِ لَهُ مُقَابِلَ دُيُونِهِ».١
2 Then Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your servant has nothing in the house, except a small jar of oil."
فَسَأَلَهَا أَلِيشَعُ: «مَاذَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ لَكِ؟ أَخْبِرِينِي مَاذَا عِنْدَكِ فِي الْبَيْتِ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «لا أَمْلِكُ فِي الْبَيْتِ شَيْئاً سِوَى قَلِيلٍ مِنَ الزَّيْتِ».٢
3 Then he said, "Go, ask for containers from outside, from all your neighbors, empty containers.
فَقَالَ لَهَا أَلِيشَعُ: «اذْهَبِي اسْتَعِيرِي أَوَانِيَ فَاِرغَةً مِنْ عِنْدِ جَمِيعِ جِيرَانِكِ وَأَكْثِرِي مِنْهَا.٣
4 Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these containers, and you are to set each one aside when it is full."
ثُمَّ ادْخُلِي بَيْتَكِ وَأَغْلِقِي الْبَابَ عَلَى نَفْسِكِ وَعَلَى بَنِيكِ، وَصُبِّي زَيْتاً فِي جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الأَوَانِي، وَانْقُلِي مَا يَمْتَلِئُ مِنْهَا إِلَى جَانِبٍ».٤
5 So she left him and shut the door behind herself and her sons; they kept bringing her containers, and she kept pouring.
فَمَضَتْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَأَغْلَقَتِ الْبَابَ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا وَعَلَى أَبْنَائِهَا، الَّذِينَ رَاحُوا يُحْضِرُونَ لَهَا الأَوَانِيَ الْفَارِغَةَ فَتَصُبُّ فِيهَا.٥
6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another container." But he said to her, "There aren't any more." Then the oil stopped flowing.
وَحِينَ امْتَلأَتْ جَمِيعُ الأَوَانِي قَالَتْ لاِبْنِهَا: «هَاتِ إِنَاءً آخَرَ». فَأَجَابَهَا: «لَمْ يَبْقَ هُنَاكَ إِنَاءٌ». عِنْدَئِذٍ تَوَقَّفَ تَدَفُّقُ الزَّيْتِ.٦
7 Then she came and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest."
فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى رَجُلِ اللهِ وَأَخْبَرَتْهُ. فَقَالَ لَهَا: «اذْهَبِي وَبِيعِي الزَّيْتَ وَأَوْفِي دَيْنَكِ، وَعِيشِي أَنْتِ وَأَبْنَاؤُكِ بِمَا يَتَبَقَّى مِنْ مَالٍ».٧
8 Now it happened one day that Elisha traveled to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, who urged him to eat some food. so whenever he passed by, he would stop in there to eat some food.
وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ذَهَبَ أَلِيشَعُ إِلَى شُونَمَ حَيْثُ تُقِيمُ امْرَأَةٌ بَالِغَةُ الثَّرَاءِ، فَأَلَحَّتْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ لِيَأْكُلَ طَعَاماً. وَكَانَ كُلَّمَا زَارَ شُونَمَ تَسْتَضِيفُهُ فِي مَنْزِلِهَا.٨
9 And she said to her husband, "Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God who often passes by us.
فَقَالَتْ لِزَوْجِهَا: «لَقَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي نَسْتَضِيفُهُ دَائِماً هُوَ رَجُلٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلَّهِ،٩
10 Please, let's make a little room on the wall, and let's set up a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him there, so that whenever he comes to us, he can stay there."
فَلْنَبْنِ لَهُ عُلِّيَّةً صَغِيرَةً عَلَى سَطْحِ الْبَيْتِ، وَنُعِدَّ لَهُ فِيهَا سَرِيراً وَطَاوِلَةً وَكُرْسِيًّا وَسِرَاجاً، فَيَبِيتَ فِيهَا كُلَّمَا مَرَّ بِنَا».١٠
11 Now it happened one day he came there, and he turned into the upper room and rested.
وَاتَّفَقَ أَنْ جَاءَ أَلِيشَعُ إِلَى الْعُلِّيَّةِ وَارْتَاحَ فِيهَا.١١
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." So he called for her and she stood before him.
فَقَالَ لِغُلامِهِ جِيحَزِي: «ادْعُ هَذِهِ الشُّونَمِيَّةَ» فَاسْتَدْعَاهَا وَجَاءَتْ.١٢
13 And he said to him, "Say now to her, 'Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can I do for you? Can I put in a good word for you to the king, or to the commander of the army?'" She answered, "I have a home among my own people."
فَقَالَ لِجِيحَزِي: «قُلْ لَهَا: لَقَدْ تَكَبَّدْتِ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الْمَشَقَّةِ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا، فَمَاذَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ لَكِ؟ هَلْ لَدَيْكِ طَلَبٌ أَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ أَوْ إِلَى رَئِيسِ الْجَيْشِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «لا. إِنَّنِي رَاضِيَةٌ بِالإِقَامَةِ بَيْنَ شَعْبِي».١٣
14 So he said, "What then can I do for her?" And Gehazi replied, "Actually, she has no son, and her husband is old."
ثُمَّ تَسَاءَلَ: «مَاذَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ نَصْنَعَ لَهَا؟» فَأَجَابَهُ جِيحَزِي: «لَيْسَ لَهَا ابْنٌ، وَزَوْجُهَا طَاعِنٌ فِي السِّنِّ».١٤
15 Then he said, "Call her." And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway.
فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «اسْتَدْعِهَا». فَدَعَاهَا، فَوَقَفَتْ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ.١٥
16 And he said, "At this season, when the time comes around, you will be holding a son." And she said, "No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to your servant."
فَقَالَ لَهَا أَلِيشَعُ: «فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْقَادِمَةِ سَتَحْضُنِينَ ابْناً بَيْنَ ذِرَاعَيْكِ». فَقَالَتْ: «لا يَا سَيِّدِي رَجُلَ اللهِ. لَا تَخْدَعْ أَمَتَكَ».١٦
17 But the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, just as Elisha had said to her.
وَلَكِنَّهَا حَمَلَتْ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً فِي الزَّمَنِ الَّذِي أَنْبَأَ بِهِ أَلِيشَعُ.١٧
18 And the child grew and it happened one day that he went out to his father to the harvest workers.
وَكَبُرَ الصَّبِيُّ. وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى حَيْثُ كَانَ أَبُوهُ يُشْرِفُ عَلَى الْحَصَّادِينَ،١٨
19 And he said to his father, "My head, my head." And he said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother."
وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ قَالَ لأَبِيهِ: «رَأْسِي يُؤْلِمُنِي، رَأْسِي». فَقَالَ لأَحَدِ رِجَالِهِ: «احْمِلْهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ».١٩
20 And when he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and died.
فَحَمَلَهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ فَأَجْلَسَتْهُ فِي حِجْرِهَا، وَلَكِنَّهُ مَاتَ عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ.٢٠
21 Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God and shut the door behind him and left.
فَصَعِدَتْ إِلَى الْعُلِّيَّةِ وَأَرْقَدَتْهُ عَلَى سَرِيرِ رَجُلِ اللهِ، وَأَغْلَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْبَابَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ.٢١
22 Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and then return."
وَقَالَتْ لِزَوْجِهَا: «ابْعَثْ لِي بِأَحَدِ رِجَالِكَ مَعَ أَتَانٍ لأُهْرَعَ إِلَى رَجُلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ أَرْجِعَ».٢٢
23 But he said, "Why would you want to see him today? It is not the new moon or Sabbath." And she said, "It's alright."
فَسَأَلَهَا: «لِمَاذَا تَذْهَبِينَ إِلَيْهِ الْيَوْمَ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ رَأْسَ الشَّهْرِ وَلا سَبْتاً؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «لِلْخَيْرِ!»٢٣
24 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, "Lead on; do not slow down for me unless I tell you."
وَأَسْرَجَتِ الأَتَانَ وَقَالَتْ لِغُلامِهَا: «قُدِ الأَتَانَ وَلا تُبْطِئْ فِي السَّيْرِ حِفَاظاً علَى رَاحَتِي حَتَّى أَطْلُبَ مِنْكَ ذَلِكَ».٢٤
25 So she went and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. So it happened when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, "Look, there is the Shunammite.
وَانْطَلَقَتْ حَتَّى أَقْبَلَتْ عَلَى رَجُلِ اللهِ فِي جَبَلِ الْكَرْمَلِ. فَلَمَّا شَاهَدَهَا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، قَالَ لِغُلامِهِ جِيحَزِي: «هَا هِيَ الْمَرْأَةُ الشُّونَمِيَّةُ.٢٥
26 Please run now to meet her and ask her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" And she answered, "It is well."
فَارْكُضْ لِلِقَائِهَا الآنَ وَاسْأَلْهَا: أَهِيَ بِخَيْرٍ؟ هَلْ زَوْجُهَا سَالِمٌ؟ هَلِ ابْنُهَا سَالِمٌ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «كُلُّ شَيْءٍ بِخَيْرٍ».٢٦
27 But when she came to the man of God to the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away, but the man of God said, "Leave her alone, for she is in severe anguish, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me."
فَلَمَّا جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَجُلِ اللهِ فِي الْجَبَلِ تَشَبَّثَتْ بِقَدَمَيْهِ. فَاقْتَرَبَ مِنْهَا جِيحَزِي لِيُبْعِدَهَا عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلُ اللهِ: «اتْرُكْهَا، فَإِنَّ نَفْسَهَا مَرِيرَةٌ فِي دَاخِلِهَا وَالرَّبُّ لَمْ يَكْشِفْ لِي مَا بِها».٢٧
28 Then she said, "Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not mislead me?'"
فَقَالَتْ: «هَلْ طَلَبْتُ مِنْ سَيِّدِي أَنْ أُنْجِبَ ابْناً؟ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَا تَخْدَعْنِي؟»٢٨
29 Then he said to Gehazi, "Tuck your cloak into your belt, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply. And lay my staff on the face of the child."
فَأَمَرَ أَلِيشَعُ جِيحَزِي: «تَمَنْطَقْ بِحِزَامِكَ، وَخُذْ عُكَّازِي وَانْطَلِقْ. وَإذَا صَادَفْتَ أَحَداً فَلا تُحَيِّهِ، وَإِنْ حَيَّاكَ أَحَدٌ فَلا تُجِبْهُ. وَضَعْ عُكَّازِي عَلَى وَجْهِ الصَّبِيِّ».٢٩
30 But the mother of the child said, "As the LORD lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So he arose and followed her.
فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ الصَّبِيِّ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ إِنَّنِي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». فَقَامَ وَتَبِعَهَا.٣٠
31 Now Gehazi went on ahead of them and placed the staff on the face of the child, but there was no sound or response. Therefore he came back to meet him and told him, saying, "The child did not wake up."
وَسَبَقَهُمَا جِيحْزِي وَوَضَعَ الْعُكَّازَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الصَّبِيِّ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ جَدْوَى فَرَجَعَ لِلِقَاءِ أَلِيشَعَ وَقَالَ: «لَمْ تَرْتَدَّ الْحَيَاةُ إِلَى الصَّبِيِّ».٣١
32 When Elisha arrived at the house, look, the child was dead, lying on his bed.
وَدَخَلَ أَلِيشَعُ الْبَيْتَ وَإذَا بِالصَّبِيِّ مَيْتٌ فِي سَرِيرِهِ.٣٢
33 So he went in and shut the door on the two of them and prayed to the LORD.
فَدَخَلَ الْعُلِّيَّةَ وَأَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ وَتَضَرَّعَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ،٣٣
34 Then he got up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and he stretched himself upon him, and the body of the child grew warm.
ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ فَوْقَ جُثَّةِ الصَّبِيِّ، وَوَضَعَ فَمَهُ عَلَى فَمِهِ، وَعَيْنَيْهِ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ، وَيَدَيْهِ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ، وَتَمَدَّدَ عَلَيْهِ، فَبَدَأَ الدِّفْءُ يَسْرِي فِي جَسَدِ الصَّبِيِّ.٣٤
35 Then he returned and walked in the house once back and forth, and went up and stretched himself upon him, and the child sneezed seven times and the child opened his eyes.
فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ يَذْرَعُ أَرْضَ الْعُلِّيَّةِ ثُمَّ عَادَ وَتَمَدَّدَ عَلَى الْوَلَدِ، فَعَطَس هَذَا سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَفَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ.٣٥
36 Then he called to Gehazi and said, "Call this Shunammite." So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, "Pick up your son."
فَاسْتَدْعَى جِيحَزِي وَقَالَ: «ادْعُ هَذِهِ الشُّونَمِيَّةَ». وَعِنْدَمَا مَثَلَتْ أَمَامَهُ قَالَ: «احْمِلِي ابْنَكِ!»٣٦
37 Then she came in and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
فَسَجَدَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ حَمَلَتِ ابْنَهَا وَانْصَرَفَتْ.٣٧
38 Now Elisha came again to Gilgal, while there was a famine in the land. And the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, and he said to his servant, "Put on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets."
وَرَجَعَ أَلِيشَعُ إِلَى الْجِلْجَالِ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَمَّتِ الْمَجَاعَةُ الْبِلادَ. وَفِيمَا كَانَ بَنُو الأَنْبِيَاءِ مُجْتَمِعِينَ مَعَ أَلِيشَعَ، قَالَ لِخَادِمِهِ: «اسْلُقْ بَعْضَ السَّلِيقَةِ فِي الْقِدْرِ الْكَبِيرَةِ لِبَنِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ».٣٨
39 Then one of them went out into the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine, and gathered as many of its gourds as his garment would hold, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew, for he was unaware what it was.
وَانْطَلَقَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ لِيَلْتَقِطَ بَعْضَ الْخُضْرَوَاتِ، فَعَثَرَ عَلَى يَقْطِينٍ بَرِّيٍّ سَامٍّ، فَالْتَقَطَ مِنْهُ مِلْءَ ثَوْبِهِ، وَقَطَّعَهُ وَطَرَحَهُ فِي قِدْرِ السَّلِيقَةِ، غَيْرَ عَالِمٍ أَنَّهُ سَامٌّ.٣٩
40 So they poured out for the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot." And they could not eat it.
وَصَبُّوا لِلْقَوْمِ لِيَأْكُلُوا، وَلَكِنْ مَا إِنْ تَنَاوَلُوا مِنْهُ حَتَّى صَرَخُوا: «فِي الْقِدْرِ سُمٌّ يَا رَجُلَ اللهِ». وَلَمْ يَسْتطِيعُوا الأَكْلَ.٤٠
41 But he said, "Bring some flour." And he threw it into the pot and said, "Pour it out for the people, that they may eat." And there was no harm in the pot.
فَقَالَ: «هَاتُوا دَقِيقاً» وَأَلْقَى أَلِيشَعُ الدَّقِيقَ فِي الْقِدْرِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «صُبَّ لِلْقَوْمِ لِيَأْكُلُوا». فَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَى الطَّعَامِ وَكَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ مُؤْذٍ فِي الْقِدْرِ.٤١
42 Now a man from Baal Shalishah came and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, "Give to the people, that they may eat."
وَحَضَرَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْلِ شَلِيشَةَ حَامِلاً مَعَهُ لِرَجُلِ اللهِ عِشْرِينَ رَغِيفاً مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ، مِنْ أَوَائِلِ الْحَصَادِ وَسَوِيقاً فِي جِرَابِهِ. فَقَالَ: «أَعْطِ الرِّجَالَ لِيَأْكُلُوا».٤٢
43 But his servant said, "What, should I set this before a hundred men?" So he said, "Give them to the people so that they may eat, for thus says the LORD, 'They will eat, and will have some left over.'"
فَقَالَ خَادِمُهُ: «مَاذَا؟ هَلْ أَضَعُ هَذَا أَمَامَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ؟» فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «أَعْطِ الرِّجَالَ لِيَأْكُلُوا، لأَنَّهُ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: إِنَّهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهَا وَيَفْضُلُ عَنْهُمْ».٤٣
44 So he set it before them, and they ate, and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.
فَوَضَعَهَا أَمَامَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا، وَفَضَلَ عَنْهُمْ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ الرَّبِّ.٤٤
