< 2 Kings 1 >

1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
وَعَصَى مُوآبُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ أَخْآبَ.١
2 Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, "Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness."
وَسَقَطَ أَخَزْيَا مِنَ ٱلْكَوَّةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي عُلِّيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ فَمَرِضَ، وَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱذْهَبُوا ٱسْأَلُوا بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَبْرَأُ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَرَضِ».٢
3 But the angel of YHWH said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
فَقَالَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِيلِيَّا ٱلتِّشْبِيِّ: «قُمِٱصْعَدْ لِلِقَاءِ رُسُلِ مَلِكِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: أَلَيْسَ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُوجَدُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَهٌ، تَذْهَبُونَ لِتَسْأَلُوا بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ؟٣
4 Now therefore thus says YHWH, "You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die."'" Elijah departed.
فَلِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنَّ ٱلسَّرِيرَ ٱلَّذِي صَعِدْتَ عَلَيْهِ لَا تَنْزِلُ عَنْهُ بَلْ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ». فَٱنْطَلَقَ إِيلِيَّا.٤
5 The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, "Why is it that you have returned?"
وَرَجَعَ ٱلرُّسُلُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا رَجَعْتُمْ؟»٥
6 They said to him, "A man came up to meet us, and said to us, 'Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, "Thus says YHWH, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"'"
فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «صَعِدَ رَجُلٌ لِلِقَائِنَا وَقَالَ لَنَا: ٱذْهَبُوا رَاجِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَكُمْ وَقُولُوا لَهُ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَلَيْسَ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُوجَدُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَهٌ أَرْسَلْتَ لِتَسْأَلَ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ؟ لِذَلِكَ ٱلسَّرِيرُ ٱلَّذِي صَعِدْتَ عَلَيْهِ، لَا تَنْزِلُ عَنْهُ بَلْ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ».٦
7 He said to them, "What kind of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?"
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَا هِيَ هَيْئَةُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي صَعِدَ لِلِقَائِكُمْ وَكَلَّمَكُمْ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ؟»٧
8 They answered him, "He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist." He said, "It is Elijah the Tishbite."
فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «إِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَشْعَرُ مُتَنَطِّقٌ بِمِنْطَقَةٍ مِنْ جِلْدٍ عَلَى حُقَوَيْهِ». فَقَالَ: «هُوَ إِيلِيَّا ٱلتِّشْبِيُّ».٨
9 Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and look, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down.'"
فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَئِيسَ خَمْسِينَ مَعَ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ، فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ وَإِذَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا رَجُلَ ٱللهِ، ٱلْمَلِكُ يَقُولُ ٱنْزِلْ».٩
10 Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty." Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
فَأَجَابَ إِيلِيَّا وَقَالَ لِرَئِيسِ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا رَجُلَ ٱللهِ، فَلْتَنْزِلْ نَارٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَتَأْكُلْكَ أَنْتَ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَكَ». فَنَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَأَكَلَتْهُ هُوَ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ.١٠
11 Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. And he went up and said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down quickly.'"
ثُمَّ عَادَ وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَئِيسَ خَمْسِينَ آخَرَ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ. فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَارَجُلَ ٱللهِ، هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: أَسْرِعْ وَٱنْزِلْ».١١
12 And Elijah answered and said to him, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty." The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
فَأَجَابَ إِيلِيَّا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا رَجُلَ ٱللهِ، فَلْتَنْزِلْ نَارٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَتَأْكُلْكَ أَنْتَ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَكَ». فَنَزَلَتْ نَارُ ٱللهِ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَأَكَلَتْهُ هُوَ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ.١٢
13 And he tried again and sent a third captain with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, "Man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.
ثُمَّ عَادَ فَأَرْسَلَ رَئِيسَ خَمْسِينَ ثَالِثًا وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ. فَصَعِدَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ ٱلثَّالِثُ وَجَاءَ وَجَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ أمَامَ إِيلِيَّا، وَتَضَرَّعَ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا رَجُلَ ٱللهِ، لِتُكْرَمْ نَفْسِي وَأَنْفُسُ عَبِيدِكَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ.١٣
14 Look, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight."
هُوَذَا قَدْ نَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَأَكَلَتْ رَئِيسَيِ ٱلْخَمْسِينَيْنِ ٱلْأَوَّلَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَيْهِمَا، وَٱلْآنَ فَلْتُكْرَمْ نَفْسِي فِي عَيْنَيْكَ».١٤
15 The angel of YHWH said to Elijah, "Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him." He arose, and went down with him to the king.
فَقَالَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِيلِيَّا: «ٱنْزِلْ مَعَهُ. لَا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ». فَقَامَ وَنَزَلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ.١٥
16 He said to him, "Thus says YHWH, 'Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"
وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ أَرْسَلْتَ رُسُلًا لِتَسْأَلَ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ، أَلَيْسَ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُوجَدُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَهٌ لِتَسْأَلَ عَنْ كَلَامِهِ! لِذَلِكَ ٱلسَّرِيرُ ٱلَّذِي صَعِدْتَ عَلَيْهِ لَا تَنْزِلُ عَنْهُ بَلْ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ».١٦
17 So he died according to the word of YHWH which Elijah had spoken. And his brother Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
فَمَاتَ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ إِيلِيَّا. وَمَلَكَ يَهُورَامُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِيَهُورَامَ بْنِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ٱبْنٌ.١٧
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَخَزْيَا ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟١٨
