1 Kings 16

1 And the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

١ وَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ يَاهُو بْنِ حَنَانِي بِرِسَالَةٍ لِيُبَلِّغَهَا لِبَعْشَا:

2 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;

٢ «لَقَدْ رَفَعْتُكَ مِنَ الْحَضِيضِ، وَنَصَّبْتُكَ مَلِكاً عَلَى شَعْبِي وَلَكِنَّكَ سَلَكْتَ فِي سُبُلِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَجَعَلْتَ شَعْبِي يَأْثَمُونَ وَيُثِيرُونَ غَيْظِي بِخَطَايَاهُمْ.

3 behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

٣ لِهَذَا سَأَسْتَأْصِلُ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ وَسَائِرَ نَسْلِ بَيْتِكَ، وَأُبِيدُ بَيْتَكَ كَمَا أَبَدْتُ بَيْتَ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ.

4 Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.

٤ فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَمُوتُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ تَأْكُلُهُ الْكِلابُ، وَمَنْ يَمُوتُ مِنْهُمْ فِي الْحَقْلِ تَنْهَشُهُ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ».

5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٥ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ بَعْشَا وَمَا قَامَ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ وَبَأْسٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

6 And Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his stead.

٦ وَمَاتَ بَعْشَا وَدُفِنَ فِي تِرْصَةَ وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ أَيْلَةُ عَلَى عَرْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

7 And moreover by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he smote him.

٧ وَكَانَ كَلامُ الرَّبِّ أَيْضاً عَلَى لِسَانِ يَاهُو بْنِ حَنَانِي النَّبِيِّ بِشَأْنِ بَعْشَا وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ بِسَبَبِ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ مِنْ شَرٍّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، فَأَثَارَ غَيْظَهُ بِمَا جَنَتْهُ يَدَاهُ، عَلَى مِثَالِ مَا اقْتَرَفَهُ بَيْتُ يَرُبْعَامَ، بَلْ فَاقَ عَلَيْهِ إِذْ أَقْدَمَ عَلَى إِبَادَةِ عَائِلَةِ يَرُبْعَامَ.

8 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, [and reigned] two years.

٨ وَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّادِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى أَيْلَةُ بْنُ بَعْشَا فِي تِرْصَةَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُدَّةِ سَنَتَيْنِ.

9 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him: now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, which was over the household in Tirzah:

٩ فَتَآمَرَ عَلَيْهِ زِمْرِي قَائِدُ نِصْفِ فِرْقَةِ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ بَيْنَمَا كَانَ فِي تِرْصَةَ يَشْرَبُ وَيَسْكَرُ فِي مَنْزِلِ أَرْصَا الْمُشْرِفِ عَلَى إِدَارَةِ الْقَصْرِ.

10 and Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.

١٠ فَاقْتَحَمَ زِمْرِي الْمَنْزِلَ وَاغْتَالَ أَيْلَةَ. وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى عَرْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he smote all the house of Baasha: he left him not a single man child, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.

١١ وَحَالَمَا تَسَلَّمَ زِمَامَ الْمُلْكِ أَبَادَ كُلَّ ذُرِّيَّةِ بَعْشَا، فَلَمْ يُبْقِ عَلَى ذَكَرٍ مِنْهُمْ، كَمَا قَتَلَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ إِلَى بَعْشَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ.

12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

١٢ وَهَكَذَا أَبَادَ زِمْرِي كُلَّ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا، تَحْقِيقاً لِقَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى لِسَانِ يَاهُو النَّبِيِّ،

13 for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and wherewith they made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

١٣ وَذَلِكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ بَعْشَا وَابْنُهُ أَيْلَةُ مِنْ آثَامٍ، وَجَعلا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُونَ، وَيَسْتَثِيرُونَ غَيْظَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِضَلالِهِمْ.

14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

١٤ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ أَيْلَةَ وَكُلُّ مَا قَامَ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

15 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

١٥ وَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، تَرَبَّعَ زِمْرِي عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْمَمْلَكَةِ لِمُدَّةِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي تِرْصَةَ. وَكَانَ الْجَيْشُ آنَئِذٍ يُحَاصِرُ الْمَدِينَةَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّةَ جِبَّثُونَ.

16 And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also smitten the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.

١٦ فَبَلَغَ مَسَامِعَ الْجَيْشِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ أَنَّ زِمْرِي تَمَرَّدَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ وَاغْتَالَهُ، فَنَصَّبَ الْجَيْشُ قَائِدَهُمْ عُمْرِيَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَهُمْ مَا بَرِحُوا فِي مَيْدَانِ الْقِتَالِ.

17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

١٧ فَتَوَجَّهَ عُمْرِي وَكُلُّ الْجَيْشِ الَّذِي مَعَهُ مِنْ جِبَّثُونَ وَحَاصَرُوا تِرْصَةَ.

18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died,

١٨ وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى زِمْرِي أَنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ قَدْ سَقَطَتْ، دَخَلَ قَصْرَ الْمَلِكِ وَأَشْعَلَ فِيهِ وَفِي نَفْسِهِ النَّارَ، فَمَاتَ،

19 for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.

١٩ عِقَاباً عَلَى آثَامِهِ الَّتِي اقْتَرَفَهَا حِينَ ارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَسَلَكَ فِي سُبُلِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَلأَنَّهُ جَعَلَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُونَ.

20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٢٠ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ زِمْرِي وَتَمَرُّدُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِي مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

21 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.

٢١ وَمَا لَبِثَ الشَّعْبُ أَنِ انْقَسَمَ إِلَى فِئَتَيْنِ: فِئَةٌ تُنَاصِرُ تِبْنِي بْنَ جِينَةَ لِتُبَايِعَهُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ، وَفِئَةٌ تُنَاصِرُ عُمْرِي.

22 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

٢٢ فَتَغَلَّبَ أَنْصَارُ عُمْرِي عَلَى أَنْصَارِ تِبْنِي بْنِ جِينَةَ، فَمَاتَ تِبْنِي وَسَلِمَ الْعَرْشُ لِعُمْرِي.

23 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, [and reigned] twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.

٢٣ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى عُمْرِي عَرْشَ مَمْلَكَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، مِنْهَا سِتُّ سَنَوَاتٍ فِي تِرْصَةَ.

24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.

٢٤ ثُمَّ اشْتَرَى جَبَلَ السَّامِرَةِ مِنْ شَامِرَ بِوَزْنَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ (نَحْوِ اثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً)، وَبَنَى عَلَيْهِ مَدِينَةً دَعَاهَا السَّامِرَةَ، عَلَى اسْمِ شَامِرَ صَاحِبِ الْجَبَلِ.

25 And Omri did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and dealt wickedly above all that were before him.

٢٥ وَارْتَكَبَ عُمْرِي الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ حَتَّى فَاقَ إِثْمُهُ جَمِيعَ الَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ،

26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

٢٦ وَاقْتَرَفَ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، وَسَلَكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ الَّتِي أَضَلَّ بِها إِسْرَائِيلَ فَاسْتَثَارُوا بِضَلالِهِمْ غَيْظَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ.

27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٢٧ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ عُمْرِي وَمَا قَامَ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ وَمِنْ بَأْسٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.

٢٨ وَمَاتَ عُمْرِي وَدُفِنَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آخْابُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

29 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.

٢٩ وَمَلَكَ آخْابُ بْنُ عُمْرِي عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَدَامَتْ وِلايَتُهُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ مُدَّةَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

30 And Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.

٣٠ وَارْتَكَبَ آخْابُ بْنُ عُمْرِي الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، حَتَّى فَاقَ إِثْمُهُ جَمِيعَ أَسْلافِهِ.

31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.

٣١ وَكَأَنَّمَا كَانَ الانْهِمَاكُ فِي ارْتِكَابِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ أَمْراً تَافِهاً، فَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْ إِيزَابِلَ ابْنَةِ أَثْبَعَلَ مَلِكِ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ، وَغَوَى وَرَاءَ الْبَعْلِ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ.

32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

٣٢ وَشَيَّدَ مَذْبَحاً لِلْبَعْلِ فِي مَعْبَدِ الْبَعْلِ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ فِي السَّامِرَةِ.

33 And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

٣٣ وَأَقَامَ آخْابُ مَنْحُوتَاتِ الأَصْنَامِ، وَتَفَاقَمَ شَرُّ أَعْمَالِهِ لِيُثِيرَ غَيْظَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَائِرِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ السَّابِقِينَ.

34 In his days did Hiel the Beth-elite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof with the loss of his youngest son Segub; according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of Joshua the son of Nun.

٣٤ وَفِي عَهْدِهِ بَنَى حِيئِيلُ الْبَيْتَئِيلِيُّ أَرِيحَا. وَعِنْدَمَا أَرْسَى أَسَاسَهَا مَاتَ ابْنُهُ الأَكْبَرُ أَبِيرَامُ، وَعِنْدَمَا نَصَبَ بَوَّابَاتِهَا مَاتَ ابْنُهُ الأَصْغَرُ سَجُوبُ، فَتَحَقَّقَ بِذَلِكَ وَعِيدُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ يَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونٍ.
