1 Kings 11

1 Now king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;

١ وَأَحَبَّ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً كَثِيرَةً مَعَ بِنْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ: مُوآبِيَّاتٍ وَعَمُّونِيَّاتٍ وَأَدُومِيَّاتٍ وَصِيدُونِيَّاتٍ وَحِثِّيَّاتٍ

2 of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

٢ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ عَنْهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لَا تَدْخُلُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ لَا يَدْخُلُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ يُمِيلُونَ قُلُوبَكُمْ وَرَاءَ آلِهَتِهِمْ». فَٱلْتَصَقَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِهَؤُلَاءِ بِٱلْمَحَبَّةِ.

3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.

٣ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ سَبْعُ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱلسَّيِّدَاتِ، وَثَلَاثُ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّرَارِيِّ، فَأَمَالَتْ نِسَاؤُهُ قَلْبَهُ.

4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

٤ وَكَانَ فِي زَمَانِ شَيْخُوخَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ أَنَّ نِسَاءَهُ أَمَلْنَ قَلْبَهُ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ كَامِلًا مَعَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ كَقَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ.

5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

٥ فَذَهَبَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَرَاءَ عَشْتُورَثَ إِلَهَةِ ٱلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ، وَمَلْكُومَ رِجْسِ ٱلْعَمُّونِيِّينَ.

6 And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.

٦ وَعَمِلَ سُلَيْمَانُ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَتْبَعِ ٱلرَّبَّ تَمَامًا كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ.

7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

٧ حِينَئِذٍ بَنَى سُلَيْمَانُ مُرْتَفَعَةً لِكَمُوشَ رِجْسِ ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي تُجَاهَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلِمُولَكَ رِجْسِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.

8 And so did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

٨ وَهَكَذَا فَعَلَ لِجَمِيعِ نِسَائِهِ ٱلْغَرِيبَاتِ ٱللَّوَاتِي كُنَّ يُوقِدْنَ وَيَذْبَحْنَ لِآلِهَتِهِنَّ.

9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,

٩ فَغَضِبَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ لِأَنَّ قَلْبَهُ مَالَ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي تَرَاءَى لَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ،

10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.

١٠ وَأَوْصَاهُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ أَنْ لَا يَتَّبِعَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، فَلَمْ يَحْفَظْ مَا أَوْصَى بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ.

11 Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

١١ فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِسُلَيْمَانَ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَكَ، وَلَمْ تَحْفَظْ عَهْدِي وَفَرَائِضِيَ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ بِهَا، فَإِنِّي أُمَزِّقُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ عَنْكَ تَمْزِيقًا وَأُعْطِيهَا لِعَبْدِكَ.

12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

١٢ إِلَّا إِنِّي لَا أَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي أَيَّامِكَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيكَ، بَلْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱبْنِكَ أُمَزِّقُهَا.

13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.

١٣ عَلَى أَنِّي لَا أُمَزِّقُ مِنْكَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ كُلَّهَا، بَلْ أُعْطِي سِبْطًا وَاحِدًا لِٱبْنِكَ، لِأَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي، وَلِأَجْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُهَا».

14 And the LORD raised up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom.

١٤ وَأَقَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ خَصْمًا لِسُلَيْمَانَ: هَدَدَ ٱلْأَدُومِيَّ، كَانَ مِنْ نَسْلِ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي أَدُومَ.

15 For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, and had smitten every male in Edom;

١٥ وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا كَانَ دَاوُدُ فِي أَدُومَ، عِنْدَ صُعُودِ يُوآبَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْجَيْشِ لِدَفْنِ ٱلْقَتْلَى، وَضَرَبَ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ فِي أَدُومَ.

16 (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom; )

١٦ لِأَنَّ يُوآبَ وَكُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ حَتَّى أَفْنَوْا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ فِي أَدُومَ.

17 that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.

١٧ أَنَّ هَدَدَ هَرَبَ هُوَ وَرِجَالٌ أَدُومِيُّونَ مِنْ عَبِيدِ أَبِيهِ مَعَهُ لِيَأْتُوا مِصْرَ. وَكَانَ هَدَدُ غُلَامًا صَغِيرًا.

18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.

١٨ وَقَامُوا مِنْ مِدْيَانَ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى فَارَانَ، وَأَخَذُوا مَعَهُمْ رِجَالًا مِنْ فَارَانَ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى مِصْرَ، إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، فَأَعْطَاهُ بَيْتًا وَعَيَّنَ لَهُ طَعَامًا وَأَعْطَاهُ أَرْضًا.

19 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen,

١٩ فَوَجَدَ هَدَدُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْ فِرْعَوْنَ جِدًّا، وَزَوَّجَهُ أُخْتَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ، أُخْتَ تَحْفَنِيسَ ٱلْمَلِكَةِ.

20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh.

٢٠ فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ أُخْتُ تَحْفَنِيسَ جَنُوبَثَ ٱبْنَهُ، وَفَطَمَتْهُ تَحْفَنِيسُ فِي وَسَطِ بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ. وَكَانَ جَنُوبَثُ فِي بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ بَيْنَ بَنِي فِرْعَوْنَ.

21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.

٢١ فَسَمِعَ هَدَدُ فِي مِصْرَ بِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدِ ٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَبِأَنَّ يُوآبَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْجَيْشِ قَدْ مَاتَ. فَقَالَ هَدَدُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «أَطْلِقْنِي إِلَى أَرْضِي».

22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me depart in any wise.

٢٢ فَقَالَ لَهُ فِرْعَوْنُ: «مَاذَا أَعْوَزَكَ عِنْدِي حَتَّى إِنَّكَ تَطْلُبُ ٱلذَّهَابَ إِلَى أَرْضِكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لَا شَيْءَ، وَإِنَّمَا أَطْلِقْنِي».

23 And God raised up [another] adversary unto him, Rezon the son of Eliada, which had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:

٢٣ وَأَقَامَ ٱللهُ لَهُ خَصْمًا آخَرَ: رَزُونَ بْنَ أَلِيدَاعَ، ٱلَّذِي هَرَبَ مِنْ عِنْدِ سَيِّدِهِ هَدَدَ عَزَرَ مَلِكِ صُوبَةَ،

24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a troop, when David slew them [of Zobah]: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.

٢٤ فَجَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ رِجَالًا فَصَارَ رَئِيسَ غُزَاةٍ عِنْدَ قَتْلِ دَاوُدَ إِيَّاهُمْ، فَٱنْطَلَقُوا إِلَى دِمَشْقَ وَأَقَامُوا بِهَا وَمَلَكُوا فِي دِمَشْقَ.

25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad [did]: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

٢٥ وَكَانَ خَصْمًا لِإِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ سُلَيْمَانَ، مَعَ شَرِّ هَدَدَ. فَكَرِهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَرَامَ.

26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, he also lifted up his hand against the king.

٢٦ وَيَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَابَاطَ، أَفْرَايِمِيٌّ مِنْ صَرَدَةَ، عَبْدٌ لِسُلَيْمَانَ. وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ صَرُوعَةُ، وَهِيَ ٱمْرأَةٌ أَرْمَلَةٌ، رَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ.

27 And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father.

٢٧ وَهَذَا هُوَ سَبَبُ رَفْعِهِ يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ: أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بَنَى ٱلْقَلْعَةَ وَسَدَّ شُقُوقَ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ.

28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labour of the house of Joseph.

٢٨ وَكَانَ ٱلرَّجُلُ يَرُبْعَامُ جَبَّارَ بَأْسٍ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى سُلَيْمَانُ ٱلْغُلَامَ أَنَّهُ عَامِلٌ شُغْلًا، أَقَامَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَعْمَالِ بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ.

29 And it came to pass at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; now [Ahijah] had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field.

٢٩ وَكَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ لَمَّا خَرَجَ يَرُبْعَامُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، أَنَّهُ لَاقَاهُ أَخِيَّا ٱلشِّيلُونِيُّ ٱلنَّبِيُّ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَهُوَ لَابِسٌ رِدَاءً جَدِيدًا، وَهُمَا وَحْدَهُمَا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ.

30 And Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces.

٣٠ فَقَبَضَ أَخِيَّا عَلَى ٱلرِّدَاءِ ٱلْجَدِيدِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَمَزَّقَهُ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ قِطْعَةً

31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:

٣١ وَقَالَ لِيَرُبْعَامَ: «خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ عَشَرَ قِطَعٍ، لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا أُمَزِّقُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ يَدِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَأُعْطِيكَ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطٍ.

32 (but he shall have one tribe, for my servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel: )

٣٢ وَيَكُونُ لَهُ سِبْطٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَبْدِي دَاوُدَ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُهَا مِنْ كُلِّ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

33 because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon; and they have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.

٣٣ لِأَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُونِي وَسَجَدُوا لِعَشْتُورَثَ إِلَهَةِ ٱلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ، وَلِكَمُوشَ إِلَهِ ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ، وَلِمَلْكُومَ إِلَهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي طُرُقِي لِيَعْمَلُوا ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيَّ وَفَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ.

34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant’s sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:

٣٤ وَلَا آخُذُ كُلَّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ مِنْ يَدِهِ، بَلْ أُصَيِّرُهُ رَئِيسًا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ لِأَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ ٱلَّذِي حَفِظَ وَصَايَايَ وَفَرَائِضِي.

35 but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.

٣٥ وَآخُذُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱبْنِهِ وَأُعْطِيكَ إِيَّاهَا، أَيِ ٱلْأَسْبَاطَ ٱلْعَشْرَةَ.

36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

٣٦ وَأُعْطِي ٱبْنَهُ سِبْطًا وَاحِدًا، لِيَكُونَ سِرَاجٌ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَمَامِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُهَا لِنَفْسِي لِأَضَعَ ٱسْمِي فِيهَا.

37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.

٣٧ وَآخُذُكَ فَتَمْلِكُ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا تَشْتَهِي نَفْسُكَ، وَتَكُونُ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.

38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in mine eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and will build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.

٣٨ فَإِذَا سَمِعْتَ لِكُلِّ مَا أُوصِيكَ بِهِ، وَسَلَكْتَ فِي طُرُقِي، وَفَعَلْتَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَحَفِظْتَ فَرَائِضِي وَوَصَايَايَ كَمَا فَعَلَ دَاوُدُ عَبْدِي، أَكُونُ مَعَكَ وَأَبْنِي لَكَ بَيْتًا آمِنًا كَمَا بَنَيْتُ لِدَاوُدَ، وَأُعْطِيكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for over.

٣٩ وَأُذِلُّ نَسْلَ دَاوُدَ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا، وَلَكِنْ لَا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ».

40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam: but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

٤٠ وَطَلَبَ سُلَيْمَانُ قَتْلَ يَرُبْعَامَ، فَقَامَ يَرُبْعَامُ وَهَرَبَ إِلَى مِصْرَ إِلَى شِيشَقَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ. وَكَانَ فِي مِصْرَ إِلَى وَفَاةِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

41 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

٤١ وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَكُلُّ مَا صَنَعَ وَحِكْمَتُهُ أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أُمُورِ سُلَيْمَانَ؟

42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

٤٢ وَكَانَتِ ٱلْأَيَّامُ ٱلَّتِي مَلَكَ فِيهَا سُلَيْمَانُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

٤٣ ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَمَلَكَ رَحُبْعَامُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
