< 1 Kings 13 >

1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD to Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَرُبْعَامُ وَاقِفاً عِنْدَ الْمَذْبَحِ لِيُوْقِدَ عَلَيْهِ، أَقْبَلَ رَجُلُ اللهِ مِنْ يَهُوذَا إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ حَامِلاً رِسَالَةً مِنَ الرَّبِّ.١
2 And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee.
وَهَتَفَ مُخَاطِباً الْمَذْبَحَ بِقَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «يَامَذْبَحُ، يَامَذْبَحُ، هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: سَيُوْلَدُ لِبَيْتِ دَاوُدَ ابْنٌ يُدْعَى يُوشِيَّا، فَيَذْبَحُ عَلَيْكَ كَهَنَةَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّذِينَ يُقَرِّبُونَ عَلَيْكَ، وَتُحْرَقُ فَوْقَكَ عِظَامُ النَّاسِ».٢
3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be split apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
وَتَأْيِيداً لِكَلامِهِ أَعْطَى فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَلامَةً تُؤَكِّدُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا الْمَذْبَحُ يَنْشَقُّ وَيُذْرَى الرَّمَادُ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ».٣
4 And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it to him again.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ كَلامَ رَجُلِ اللهِ الَّذِي خَاطَبَ بِهِ الْمَذْبَحَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ، رَفَعَ يَدَهُ مِنْ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، وَمَدَّهَا نَحْوَ النَّبِيِّ صَارِخاً: «اقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِ» فَيَبِسَتْ يَدُهُ الَّتِي مَدَّهَا وَعَجَزَ عَنْ رَدِّهَا.٤
5 The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
وَانْشَقَّ آنَئِذٍ الْمَذْبَحُ وَذُرِيَ الرَّمَادُ مِنْ عَلَيْهِ وَفْقاً لِلْعَلامَةِ الَّتِي أَعْطَاهَا رَجُلُ اللهِ بِمُقْتَضَى أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ.٥
6 And the king answered and said to the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before.
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَوَسَّلَ الْمَلِكُ لِرَجُلِ اللهِ قَائِلاً: «تَضَرَّعْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَصَلِّ مِنْ أَجْلِي لِتَرْتَدَّ يَدِي إِلَى طَبِيعَتِهَا». فَابْتَهَلَ رَجُلُ اللهِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، فَارْتَدَّتْ يَدُ الْمَلِكِ إِلَى مَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ.٦
7 And the king said to the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
ثُمَّ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِرَجُلِ اللهِ: «تَعَالَ مَعِي إِلَى قَصْرِي لِتَقْتَاتَ وَأُعْطِيَكَ مُكَافَأَةً».٧
8 And the man of God said to the king, If thou wilt give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
فَأَجَابَهُ: «حَتَّى لَوْ وَهَبْتَنِي نِصْفَ قَصْرِكَ فَلَنْ أَطَأَ أَرْضَهُ، وَلا آكُلَ خُبْزاً وَلا أَشْرَبَ مَاءً فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ.٨
9 For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَمَرَنِي قَائِلاً:’لا تَأْكُلْ خُبْزاً وَلا تَشْرَبْ مَاءً وَلا تَرْجِعْ فِي نَفْسِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي جِئْتَ مِنْهَا‘».٩
10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فِي طَرِيقٍ أُخْرَى غَيْرِ الَّتِي سَلَكَهَا فِي مَجِيئِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ.١٠
11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken to the king, them they told also to their father.
وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ نَبِيٌّ شَيْخٌ مُقِيمٌ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ، فَجَاءَ أَبْنَاؤُهُ وَسَرَدُوا عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ مَا أَجْرَاهُ رَجُلُ اللهِ مِنْ آيَاتٍ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَحَدَّثُوهُ بِمَا خَاطَبَ بِهِ الْمَلِكَ.١١
12 And their father said to them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
فَسَأَلَهُمْ أَبُوهُمْ: «مِنْ أَيِّ طَرِيقٍ انْصَرَفَ؟» فَأَخْبَرُوهُ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَدْ رَأَوْا الطَّرِيقَ الَّتِي انْصَرَفَ فِيهَا.١٢
13 And he said to his sons, Saddle me the donkey. So they saddled him the donkey: and he rode on it,
فَقَالَ لأَبْنَائِهِ: «أَسْرِجُوا لِيَ الْحِمَارَ». وَعِنْدَمَا فَعَلُوا رَكِبَ عَلَيْهِ.١٣
14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said to him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
وَاقْتَفَى أَثَرَهُ حَتَّى أَدْرَكَهُ جَالِساً تَحْتَ الْبَلُّوطَةِ. فَسَأَلَهُ: «هَلْ أَنْتَ رَجُلُ اللهِ الَّذِي وَفَدَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «أَنَا هُوَ».١٤
15 Then he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «تَعَالَ مَعِي إِلَى الْبَيْتِ لِتَأْكُلَ طَعَاماً».١٥
16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
فَأَجَابَهُ: «لا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَرْجِعَ مَعَكَ أَوْ أَدْخُلَ بَيْتَكَ أَوْ آكُلَ طَعَاماً أَوْ أَشْرَبَ مَاءً فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ،١٦
17 For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَمَرَنِي قَائِلاً: لَا تَأْكُلْ طَعَاماً وَلا تَشْرَبْ مَاءً وَلا تَنْصَرِفْ فِي نَفْسِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي جِئْتَ مِنْهَا».١٧
18 He said to him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him.
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا أَيْضاً نَبِيٌّ مِثْلُكَ وَقَدْ أَمَرَنِي مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ أَنْ أَرْجِعَ بِكَ مَعِي إِلَى بَيْتِي فَتَقْتَاتَ وَتَشْرَبَ مَاءً». وَهَكَذَا كَذِبَ عَلَيْهِ.١٨
19 So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
(فَصَدَّقَهُ) وَرَجَعَ مَعَهُ وَتَنَاوَلَ طَعَاماً فِي بَيْتِهِ وَشَرِبَ مَاءً.١٩
20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet that brought him back:
وَفِيمَا هُمَا جَالِسَانِ حَوْلَ الْمَائِدَةِ يَتَنَاوَلانِ الطَّعَامَ، خَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ النَّبِيَّ الشَّيْخَ،٢٠
21 And he cried to the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
فَقَالَ لِرَجُلِ اللهِ الْوَافِدِ مِنْ يَهُوذَا: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ خَالَفْتَ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ وَلَمْ تُطِعْ وَصِيَّتَهُ الَّتِي أَوْصَاكَ بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ،٢١
22 But hast returned, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of which the LORD said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy body shall not come to the sepulchre of thy fathers.
فَرَجَعْتَ وَأَكَلْتَ طَعَاماً وَشَرِبْتَ مَاءً فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي حَذَّرَكَ مِنْهُ قَائِلاً: لَا تَأْكُلْ فِيهِ طَعَاماً وَلا تَشْرَبْ مَاءً، فَإِنَّ جُثَّتَكَ لَنْ تُدْفَنَ فِي قَبْرِ آبَائِكَ».٢٢
23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the donkey, that is, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
وَبَعْدَ أَنْ تَنَاوَلَ نَبِيُّ يَهُوذَا طَعَاماً وَشَرِبَ مَاءً، أَسْرَجَ لَهُ مُضِيفُهُ حِمَارَهُ.٢٣
24 And when he had gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it, the lion also stood by the body.
وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ مُنْصَرِفٌ فِي طَرِيقِهِ صَادَفَهُ أَسَدٌ وَقَتَلَهُ، وَظَلَّتْ جُثَّتُهُ مَطْرُوحَةً فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَالْحِمَارُ وَالأَسَدُ وَاقِفَانِ إِلَى جُوَارِ الْجُثَّةِ.٢٤
25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
وَمَرَّ قَوْمٌ فَشَاهَدُوا الْجُثَّةَ مَطْرُوحَةً فِي الْطَرِيقِ وَالأَسَدُ وَاِقفٌ إِلَى جُوَارِهَا فَأَتَوْا وَأَذَاعُوا الْخَبَرَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي يُقِيمُ فِيهَا النَّبِيُّ الشَّيْخُ.٢٥
26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him to the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke to him.
وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ الشَّيْخُ بِالنَّبَأِ قَالَ: «هُوَ حَتْماً رَجُلُ اللهِ الَّذِي خَالَفَ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، فَأَوْقَعَهُ الرَّبُّ بَيْنَ مَخَالِبِ الأَسَدِ فَافْتَرَسَهُ وَقَتَلَهُ تَحْقِيقاً لِقَضَائِهِ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ».٢٦
27 And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the donkey. And they saddled him.
وَقَالَ لأَبْنَائِهِ: «أَسْرِجُوا لِيَ الْحِمَارَ». فَأَسْرَجُوهُ،٢٧
28 And he went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body: the lion had not eaten the body, nor torn the donkey.
فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى حَيْثُ عَثَرَ عَلَى الْجُثَّةِ مَطْرُوحَةً فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَالأَسَدُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَاقِفَيْنِ إِلَى جُوَارِهَا، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الأَسَدُ الْجُثَّةَ أَوْ يَفْتَرِسَ الْحِمَارَ،٢٨
29 And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the donkey, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ جُثَّةَ رَجُلِ اللهِ عَلَى الْحِمَارِ، وَمَضَى بِها إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، لِيَنْدُبَهُ٢٩
30 And he laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
ثُمَّ دَفَنَهَا فِي قَبْرِهِ وَهُوَ يَنُوحُ قَائِلاً: «آهِ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَخِي».٣٠
31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
وَبَعْدَ أَنْ تَمَّ دَفْنُ جُثَّةِ رَجُلِ اللهِ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ الشَّيْخُ لأَبْنَائِهِ: «عِنْدَ وَفَاتِي ادْفِنُونِي فِي الْقَبْرِ الَّذِي دُفِنَ فِيهِ رَجُلُ اللهِ، وَضَعُوا عِظَامِي إِلَى جُوَارِ عِظَامِهِ،٣١
32 For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
لأَنَّ مَا أَنْذَرَ بِهِ مِنْ كَلامِ الرَّبِّ بِشَأْنِ الْمَذْبَحِ الَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَجَمِيعِ مَعَابِدِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّتِي فِي مُدُنِ السَّامِرَةِ، لابُدَّ أَنْ يَتَحَقَّقَ».٣٢
33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
وَعلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ تَحْذِيرِ النَّبِيِّ فَإِنَّ يَرُبْعَامَ لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ الأَثِيمَةِ، بَلْ عَادَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَكَرَّسَ كَهَنَةً لِمَعَابِدِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، اخْتَارَهُمْ مِنْ عَامَّةِ الشَّعْبِ، فَكَانَ يُكَرِّسُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَرْغَبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَاهِناً لِهَذِهِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ.٣٣
34 And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from the face of the earth.
فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ هِيَ خَطِيئَةُ بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ الَّتِي أَفْضَتْ إِلَى سُقُوطِهِ وَانْقِرَاضِهِ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرضِ.٣٤
