1 Kings 14

1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

١ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ مَرِضَ أَبِيَّا بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ.

2 Jeroboam said to his wife, "Please get up and disguise yourself, that you won't be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Go to Shiloh. Look, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.

٢ فَقَالَ يَرُبْعَامُ لِٱمْرَأَتِهِ: «قُومِي غَيِّرِي شَكْلَكِ حَتَّى لَا يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّكِ ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ وَٱذْهَبِي إِلَى شِيلُوهَ. هُوَذَا هُنَاكَ أَخِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ عَنِّي إِنِّي أَمْلِكُ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ.

3 Take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child."

٣ وَخُذِي بِيَدِكِ عَشْرَةَ أَرْغِفَةٍ وَكَعْكًا وَجَرَّةَ عَسَلٍ، وَسِيرِي إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُخْبِرُكِ مَاذَا يَكُونُ لِلْغُلَامِ».

4 Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

٤ فَفَعَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ هَكَذَا، وَقَامَتْ وَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى شِيلُوهَ وَدَخَلَتْ بَيْتَ أَخِيَّا. وَكَانَ أَخِيَّا لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُبْصِرَ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِسَبَبِ شَيْخُوخَتِهِ.

5 The LORD said to Ahijah, "Look, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall tell her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman."

٥ وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَخِيَّا: «هُوَذَا ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ آتِيَةٌ لِتَسْأَلَ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱبْنِهَا لِأَنَّهُ مَرِيضٌ. فَقُلْ لَهَا: كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَإِنَّهَا عِنْدَ دُخُولِهَا تَتَنَكَّرُ».

6 It was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, "Come in, you wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.

٦ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَخِيَّا حِسَّ رِجْلَيْهَا وَهِيَ دَاخِلَةٌ فِي ٱلْبَابِ قَالَ: «ٱدْخُلِي يَا ٱمْرَأَةَ يَرُبْعَامَ. لِمَاذَا تَتَنَكَّرِينَ وَأَنَا مُرْسَلٌ إِلَيْكِ بِقَوْلٍ قَاسٍ؟

7 Go, tell Jeroboam, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: "Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,

٧ اِذْهَبِي قُولِي لِيَرُبْعَامَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي قَدْ رَفَعْتُكَ مِنْ وَسْطِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَجَعَلْتُكَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،

8 and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,

٨ وَشَقَقْتُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَأَعْطَيْتُكَ إِيَّاهَا، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ كَعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ ٱلَّذِي حَفِظَ وَصَايَايَ وَٱلَّذِي سَارَ وَرَائِي بِكُلِّ قَلْبِهِ لِيَفْعَلَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فَقَطْ فِي عَيْنَيَّ،

9 but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made you other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back:

٩ وَقَدْ سَاءَ عَمَلُكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلَكَ، فَسِرْتَ وَعَمِلْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَمَسْبُوكَاتٍ لِتُغِيظَنِي، وَقَدْ طَرَحْتَنِي وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِكَ.

10 therefore, look, I will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung, until it is all gone.

١٠ لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرًّا عَلَى بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَأَقْطَعُ لِيَرُبْعَامَ كُلَّ بَائِلٍ بِحَائِطٍ مَحْجُوزًا وَمُطْلَقًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنْزِعُ آخِرَ بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ كَمَا يُنْزَعُ ٱلْبَعْرُ حَتَّى يَفْنَى.

11 He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the sky eat: for the LORD has spoken it."'

١١ مَنْ مَاتَ لِيَرُبْعَامَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تَأْكُلُهُ ٱلْكِلَابُ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ تَأْكُلُهُ طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمَ.

12 Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

١٢ وَأَنْتِ فَقُومِي وَٱنْطَلِقِي إِلَى بَيْتِكِ، وَعِنْدَ دُخُولِ رِجْلَيْكِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ يَمُوتُ ٱلْوَلَدُ،

13 All Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

١٣ وَيَنْدُبُهُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَدْفِنُونَهُ، لِأَنَّ هَذَا وَحْدَهُ مِنْ يَرُبْعَامَ يَدْخُلُ ٱلْقَبْرَ، لِأَنَّهُ وُجِدَ فِيهِ أَمْرٌ صَالِحٌ نَحْوَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ.

14 Moreover the LORD will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is day. What? Even now.

١٤ وَيُقِيمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقْرِضُ بَيْتَ يَرُبْعَامَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ. وَمَاذَا؟ اَلْآنَ أَيْضًا!

15 For the LORD will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking the LORD to anger.

١٥ وَيَضْرِبُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَٱهْتِزَازِ ٱلْقَصَبِ فِي ٱلْمَاءِ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ، وَيُبَدِّدُهُمْ إِلَى عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا سَوَارِيَهُمْ وَأَغَاظُوا ٱلرَّبَّ.

16 He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin."

١٦ وَيَدْفَعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْطَأَ وَجَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ».

17 Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.

١٧ فَقَامَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ وَذَهَبَتْ وَجَاءَتْ إِلَى تِرْصَةَ، وَلَمَّا وَصَلَتْ إِلَى عَتَبَةِ ٱلْبَابِ مَاتَ ٱلْغُلَامُ،

18 All Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.

١٨ فَدَفَنَهُ وَنَدَبَهُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ أَخِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيِّ.

19 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, look, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

١٩ وَأَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَرُبْعَامَ، كَيْفَ حَارَبَ وَكَيْفَ مَلَكَ، فَإِنَّهَا مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

20 The days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.

٢٠ وَٱلزَّمَانُ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فِيهِ يَرُبْعَامُ هُوَ ٱثْنَتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَمَلَكَ نَادَابُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

21 Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

٢١ وَأَمَّا رَحُبْعَامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ فَمَلَكَ فِي يَهُوذَا. وَكَانَ رَحُبْعَامُ ٱبْنَ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَارَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ لِوَضْعِ ٱسْمِهِ فِيهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ نِعْمَةُ ٱلْعَمُّونِيَّةُ.

22 Judah did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.

٢٢ وَعَمِلَ يَهُوذَا ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَغَارُوهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَا عَمِلَ آبَاؤُهُمْ بِخَطَايَاهُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأُوا بِهَا.

23 For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;

٢٣ وَبَنَوْا هُمْ أَيْضًا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ وَأَنْصَابًا وَسَوَارِيَ عَلَى كُلِّ تَلٍّ مُرْتَفِعٍ وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ.

24 and there were also male shrine prostitutes in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drove out before the children of Israel.

٢٤ وَكَانَ أَيْضًا مَأْبُونُونَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَعَلُوا حَسَبَ كُلِّ أَرْجَاسِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

25 It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;

٢٥ وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةِ لِلْمَلِكِ رَحُبْعَامَ، صَعِدَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،

26 and he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

٢٦ وَأَخَذَ خَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَخَذَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ. وَأَخَذَ جَمِيعَ أَتْرَاسِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ.

27 King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.

٢٧ فَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ عِوَضًا عَنْهَا أَتْرَاسَ نُحَاسٍ وَسَلَّمَهَا لِيَدِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ ٱلْحَافِظِينَ بَابَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

28 It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.

٢٨ وَكَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَحْمِلُهَا ٱلسُّعَاةُ، ثُمَّ يُرْجِعُونَهَا إِلَى غُرْفَةِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ.

29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

٢٩ وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ رَحُبْعَامَ وَكُلُّ مَا فَعَلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

30 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

٣٠ وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ رَحُبْعَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

31 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.

٣١ ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ رَحُبْعَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ. وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ نِعْمَةُ ٱلْعَمُّونِيَّةُ. وَمَلَكَ أَبِيَامُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
