< 2 Kings 9 >

1 And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead:
وَاسْتَدْعَى أَلِيشَعُ النَّبِيُّ أَحَدَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «تَمَنْطَقْ بِحِزَامِكَ وَخُذْ قِنِّينَةَ الزَّيْتِ مَعَكَ، وَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ.١
2 And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;
وَحَالَمَا تَصِلُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ ابْحَثْ عَنْ يَاهُو بْنِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ بْنِ نِمْشِي، وَانْتَحِ بِهِ فِي مُخْدَعٍ دَاخِلِيٍّ،٢
3 Then take the box of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
وَصُبَّ مِنْ قِنِّينَةِ الزَّيْتِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: قَدِ اخْتَرْتُكَ لِتَكُونَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. ثُمَّ افْتَحِ الْبَابَ وَأَسْرِعْ بِالْهَرَبِ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَوَانٍ».٣
4 So the young man, [even] the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.
فَمَضَى النَّبِيُّ الشَّابُّ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ،٤
5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host [were] sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us all? And he said, To thee, O captain.
وَدَخَلَ حَيْثُ كَانَ الْقَادَةُ جُلُوساً. فَقَالَ: «لِي حَدِيثٌ خَاصٌّ مَعَكَ أَيُّهَا الْقَائِدُ» فَسَأَلَهُ يَاهُو: «مَعَ أَيِّ قَائِدٍ مِنَّا؟» فَأَجَابَ: «مَعَكَ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الْقَائِدُ».٥
6 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, [even] over Israel.
فَنَهَضَ وَتَبِعَهُ إِلَى مُخْدَعٍ دَاخِلِيٍّ، حَيْثُ صَبَّ النَّبِيُّ الزَّيْتَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: قَدِ اخْتَرْتُكَ لِتَكُونَ مَلِكاً عَلَى شَعْبِ الرَّبِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ،٦
7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.
فَتَقْضِي عَلَى بَيْتِ آخْابَ سَيِّدِكَ وَتَنْتَقِمُ لِدِمَاءِ عَبِيدِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَدِمَاءِ جَمِيعِ أَتْقِيَاءِ الرَّبِّ مِنْ إِيزَابِل،٧
8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab the males, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
وَبِذَلِكَ تُفْنِي كُلَّ بَيْتِ آخْابَ، وَتَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنْ بَيْتِ آخْابَ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ، حُرّاً كَانَ أَمْ عَبْداً.٨
9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
وَتَجْعَلُ مَصِيرَ بَيْتِ آخْابَ كَمَصِيرِ بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، وَكَمَصِيرِ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا بْنِ أَخِيَّا.٩
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and [there shall be] none to bury [her]. And he opened the door, and fled.
وَتَلْتَهِمُ الْكِلابُ إِيزَابِلَ فِي حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ، وَلَنْ تَجِدَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُهَا». ثُمَّ فَتَحَ الْبَابَ وَلاذَ بِالْفِرَارِ.١٠
11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and [one] said to him, [Is] all well? Why came this mad [man] to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعَ يَاهُو إِلَى حَيْثُ يَجْتَمِعُ رِجَالُ سَيِّدِهِ سُئِلَ: «أَخَيْرٌ؟ لِمَاذَا جَاءَكَ هَذَا الْمَجْنُونُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ الرَّجُلَ وَمَا يَهْذِي بِهِ».١١
12 And they said, [It is] false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus he spoke to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel.
فَقَالُوا: «هَذَا لَيْسَ صَحِيحاً. أَخْبِرْنَا الصِّدْقَ». فَقَالَ: «إِلَيْكُمْ مَا خَاطَبَنِي بِهِ: قَالَ: هَذَا مَا صَدَرَ عَنِ الرَّبِّ: قَدِ اخْتَرْتُكَ لِتَكُونَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ».١٢
13 Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put [it] under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
فَبَادَرَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ وَفَرَشَ ثَوْبَهُ فَوْقَ دَرَجَاتِ السُّلَّمِ حَيْثُ كَانَ يَقِفُ، وَنَفَخُوا بِالأَبْوَاقِ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ مَلَكَ يَاهُو».١٣
14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
وَهَكَذَا تَمَرَّدَ يَاهُو بْنُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ بْنِ نِمْشِي عَلَى يُورَامَ. وَكَانَ يُورَامُ مَعَ سَائِرِ جَيْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُدَافِعُونَ عَنْ رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ ضِدَّ هَجَمَاتِ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ.١٤
15 But king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it is your minds, [then] let none go forth [nor] escape from the city to go to tell [it] in Jezreel.
وَكَانَ يَهُورَامُ الْمَلِكُ قَدْ لَجَأَ إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ رَيْثَمَا يَبْرَأُ مِنَ الْجِرَاحِ الَّتِي أَصَابَهُ بِها الأَرَامِيُّونَ فِي حَرْبِهِ مَعَ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ. فَقَالَ يَاهُو: «إِنْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ رَغْبَتَكُمْ فَلا تَدَعُوا أَحَداً يَنْسَلُّ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ لِيُذِيعَ الْخَبَرَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ».١٥
16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
ثُمَّ امْتَطَى مَرْكَبَتَهُ وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ حَيْثُ كَانَ يُورَامُ مُضْطَجِعاً هُنَاكَ، وَقَدْ جَاءَ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لِيَزُورَهُ.١٦
17 And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, [Is it] peace?
وَكَانَ الرَّقِيبُ قَائِماً عَلَى بُرْجِ يَزْرَعِيلَ، فَشَاهَدَ جَمَاعَةَ يَاهُو مُقْبِلِينَ، فَقَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «إِنِّي أَرَى قَوْماً قَادِمِينَ». فَأَمَرَهُ يَهُورَامُ: «أَرْسِلْ فَارِساً لِلِقَائِهِمْ، فَيَسْأَلَهُمْ: أَلِلْخَيْرِ قُدُومُهُمْ؟»١٧
18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, [Is it] peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he doth not return.
فَانْدَفَعَ فَارِسٌ لِلِقَائِهِمْ قَائِلاً: «إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ يَسْأَلُ: أَلِلْخَيْرِ قُدُومُكُمْ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَاهُو: «مَا شَأْنُكَ بِالْخَيْرِ؟ دُرْ وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيَّ». فَقَالَ الرَّقِيبُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «قَدْ وَصَلَ الرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ».١٨
19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, [Is it] peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
فَأَرْسَلَ فَارِساً آخَرَ. فَلَمَّا الْتَقَاهُمْ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ يَسْأَلُ: أَلِلْخَيْرِ قُدُومُكُمْ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَاهُو: «مَا شَأْنُكَ بِالْخَيْرِ؟ دُرْ وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيَّ».١٩
20 And the watchman told, saying, He came even to them, and doth not return? and the driving [is] like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
فَقَالَ الرَّقِيبُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «قَدْ وَصَلَ الرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ. وَقِيَادَةُ الْمَرْكَبَةِ شَبِيهَةٌ بِقِيَادَةِ يَاهُو بْنِ نِمْشِي، لأَنَّهُ يَقُودُهَا كَرَجُلٍ مَجْنُونٍ».٢٠
21 And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
فَأَمَرَ يَهُورَامُ بِتَجْهِيزِ مَرْكَبَتِهِ، وَخَرَجَ يُصَاحِبُهُ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا، كُلٌّ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ، لِلِقَاءِ يَاهُو. فَصَادَفَاهُ عِنْدَ حَقْلِ نَابُوتَ الْيَزْرَعِيلِيِّ٢١
22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, [Is it] peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the lewd acts of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts [are so] many?
فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَهُورَامُ يَاهُو سَأَلَهُ: «أَلِلْخَيْرِ قُدُومُكَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَاهُو: «أَيُّ خَيْرٍ مَادَامَ فُجُورُ أُمِّكَ إِيزَابِلَ وَسِحْرُهَا مُتَفَشِّيَيْنِ؟»٢٢
23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, [There is] treachery, O Ahaziah.
فَأَمْسَكَ يَهُورَامُ زِمَامَ الْمَرْكَبَةِ وَأَطْلَقَ الْعِنَانَ لِخُيُولِهِ هَارِباً هَاتِفاً بِأَخَزْيَا: «خِيَانَةً يَا أَخَزْيَا!»٢٣
24 And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
فَأَطْلَقَ يَاهُو سَهْماً عَلَى يَهُورَامَ اخْتَرَقَ ظَهْرَهُ وَنَفَذَ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، فَأَرْدَاهُ قَتِيلاً فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ،٢٤
25 Then said [Jehu] to Bidkar his captain, Take up, [and] cast him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;
وَقَالَ لِبِدْقَرَ قَائِدِ مَرْكَبَتِهِ: «ارْفَعْهُ وَاطْرَحْهُ فِي حَقْلِ نَابُوتَ الْيَزْرَعِيلِيِّ، وَتَذَكَّرْ كَيْفَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ، حِينَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ رَاكِبَيْنِ خَلْفَ أَبِيهِ آخْابَ قَدْ قَضَى عَلَيْهِ بِهَذَا الْعِقَابِ،٢٥
26 Surely I saw yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take [and] cast him into the plat [of ground], according to the word of the LORD.
فَالرَّبُّ يَقُولُ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَمْساً دَمَ نَابُوتَ وَدِمَاءَ أَبْنَائِهِ، لِهَذَا لابُدَّ أَنْ أُعَاقِبَكَ فِي هَذَا الْحَقْلِ. فَالآنَ ارْفَعْهُ وَاطْرَحْهُ فِي الْحَقْلِ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ الرَّبِّ».٢٦
27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw [this], he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. [And they did so] at the going up to Gur, which [is] by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى أَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا هَذَا، فَرَّ هَارِباً فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْبُسْتَانِ، فَتَعَقَّبَهُ يَاهُو هَاتِفاً: «اقْتُلُوهُ». فَأَصَابُوهُ بِجِرَاحٍ مُمِيتَةٍ وَهُوَ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ عِنْدَ عَقَبَةِ جُورَ الْقَرِيبَةِ مِنْ يِبْلَعَامَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ تَابَعَ هَرَبَهُ إِلَى مَجِدُّو حَيْثُ مَاتَ هُنَاكَ.٢٧
28 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulcher with his fathers in the city of David.
فَنَقَلَهُ رِجَالُهُ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ حَيْثُ دَفَنُوهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ.٢٨
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
وَكَانَ أَخَزْيَا قَدْ مَلَكَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا فِي السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ يُورَامَ بْنِ آخْابَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.٢٩
30 And when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard [of it]; and she painted her face, and adorned her head, and looked out at a window.
وَتَوَجَّهَ يَاهُو إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ. فَلَمَّا عَلِمَتْ إِيزَابِلُ بِذَلِكَ كَحَّلَتْ عَيْنَيْهَا وَزَيَّنَتْ شَعْرَهَا وَأَطَلَّتْ مِنَ الكُوَّةِ.٣٠
31 And as Jehu entered the gate, she said, [Had] Zimri peace, who slew his master?
وَعِنْدَمَا اجْتَازَ يَاهُو عَتَبَةَ بَابِ سَاحَةِ الْقَصْرِ قَالَتْ: «أَجِئْتَ مُسَالِماً يَا زِمْرِي يَا قَاتِلَ سَيِّدِهِ؟»٣١
32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who [is] on my side? who? And there looked out to him two [or] three eunuchs.
فَرَفَعَ وَجْهَهُ إِلَيْهَا وَصَاحَ: «مَنْ هُنَا مَعِي؟» فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِ اثْنَانِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةٌ مِنَ الْخِصْيَانِ.٣٢
33 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and [some] of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trod her under foot.
فَقَالَ: «اطْرَحُوهَا». فَأَلْقَوْا بِها مِنَ الكُوَّةِ فَتَنَاثَرَ بَعْضُ دَمِهَا عَلَى الْجِدَارِ وَعَلَى الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي دَاسَتْهَا بِحَوَافِرِهَا.٣٣
34 And when he had come in, he ate, and drank, and said, Go, see now this cursed [woman], and bury her: for she [is] a king's daughter.
وَدَخَلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْقَصْرِ حَيْثُ أَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اذْهَبُوا وَافْتَقِدُوا هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةَ الْمَلْعُونَةَ وَادْفِنُوهَا، لأَنَّهَا بِنْتُ مَلِكٍ».٣٤
35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of [her] hands.
وَعِنْدَمَا خَرَجُوا لِيَدْفِنُوهَا لَمْ يَجِدُوا مِنْ أَشْلائِهَا سِوَى الْجُمْجُمَةِ وَالرِّجْلَيْنِ وَكَفَّيِ الْيَدَيْنِ،٣٥
36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This [is] the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
فَرَجَعُوا وَأَخْبَرُوهُ، فَقَالَ: «هَذَا إِتْمَامٌ لِقَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِيلِيَّا التِّشْبِيِّ قَائِلاً: إِنَّ الْكِلابَ سَتَلْتَهِمُ لَحْمَ إِيزَابِلَ فِي حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ.٣٦
37 And the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; [so] that they shall not say, This [is] Jezebel.
وَتُصْبِحُ جُثَّةُ إِيزَابِلَ كَالزِّبْلِ عَلَى وَجْهِ حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ بِحَيْثُ لَا يَتَعَرَّفُ عَلَيْهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَقُولُ: هَذِهِ إِيزَابِلُ».٣٧
