2 Kings 9
1 Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, “Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your 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 When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room.
| وَحَالَمَا تَصِلُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ ابْحَثْ عَنْ يَاهُو بْنِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ بْنِ نِمْشِي، وَانْتَحِ بِهِ فِي مُخْدَعٍ دَاخِلِيٍّ، | ٢ |
3 Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘The LORD says, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door, flee, and don’t wait.”
| 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, the young prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead.
| فَمَضَى النَّبِيُّ الشَّابُّ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ، | ٤ |
5 When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, “I have a message for you, captain.” Jehu said, “To which one of us?” He said, “To you, 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 He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have anointed you 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 You must strike your master Ahab’s house, 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 will perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
| وَبِذَلِكَ تُفْنِي كُلَّ بَيْتِ آخْابَ، وَتَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنْ بَيْتِ آخْابَ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ، حُرّاً كَانَ أَمْ عَبْداً. | ٨ |
9 I will make Ahab’s house 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 The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be no one to bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled.
| وَتَلْتَهِمُ الْكِلابُ إِيزَابِلَ فِي حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ، وَلَنْ تَجِدَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُهَا». ثُمَّ فَتَحَ الْبَابَ وَلاذَ بِالْفِرَارِ. | ١٠ |
11 When Jehu came out to the servants of his lord and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this madman come to you?” He said to them, “You know the man and how he talks.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعَ يَاهُو إِلَى حَيْثُ يَجْتَمِعُ رِجَالُ سَيِّدِهِ سُئِلَ: «أَخَيْرٌ؟ لِمَاذَا جَاءَكَ هَذَا الْمَجْنُونُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ الرَّجُلَ وَمَا يَهْذِي بِهِ». | ١١ |
12 They said, “That is a lie. Tell us now.” He said, “He said to me, ‘The LORD says, I have anointed you 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 hurried, and each man took his cloak, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, 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 was defending 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.) Jehu said, “If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of 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. 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 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.” 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 one went on horseback to meet him, and said, “the king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!” The watchman said, “The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.”
| 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, “The king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”
| فَأَرْسَلَ فَارِساً آخَرَ. فَلَمَّا الْتَقَاهُمْ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ يَسْأَلُ: أَلِلْخَيْرِ قُدُومُكُمْ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَاهُو: «مَا شَأْنُكَ بِالْخَيْرِ؟ دُرْ وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيَّ». | ١٩ |
20 The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”
| فَقَالَ الرَّقِيبُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «قَدْ وَصَلَ الرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ. وَقِيَادَةُ الْمَرْكَبَةِ شَبِيهَةٌ بِقِيَادَةِ يَاهُو بْنِ نِمْشِي، لأَنَّهُ يَقُودُهَا كَرَجُلٍ مَجْنُونٍ». | ٢٠ |
21 Joram said, “Get ready!” They got his chariot ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him on Naboth the Jezreelite’s land.
| فَأَمَرَ يَهُورَامُ بِتَجْهِيزِ مَرْكَبَتِهِ، وَخَرَجَ يُصَاحِبُهُ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا، كُلٌّ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ، لِلِقَاءِ يَاهُو. فَصَادَفَاهُ عِنْدَ حَقْلِ نَابُوتَ الْيَزْرَعِيلِيِّ | ٢١ |
22 When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَهُورَامُ يَاهُو سَأَلَهُ: «أَلِلْخَيْرِ قُدُومُكَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَاهُو: «أَيُّ خَيْرٍ مَادَامَ فُجُورُ أُمِّكَ إِيزَابِلَ وَسِحْرُهَا مُتَفَشِّيَيْنِ؟» | ٢٢ |
23 Joram turned his hands and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “This is treason, Ahaziah!”
| فَأَمْسَكَ يَهُورَامُ زِمَامَ الْمَرْكَبَةِ وَأَطْلَقَ الْعِنَانَ لِخُيُولِهِ هَارِباً هَاتِفاً بِأَخَزْيَا: «خِيَانَةً يَا أَخَزْيَا!» | ٢٣ |
24 Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram 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 Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden on 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 have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the LORD’s word.”
| 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. Jehu followed after him, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!” They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. 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 His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in David’s city.
| فَنَقَلَهُ رِجَالُهُ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ حَيْثُ دَفَنُوهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ. | ٢٨ |
29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
| وَكَانَ أَخَزْيَا قَدْ مَلَكَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا فِي السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ يُورَامَ بْنِ آخْابَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٩ |
30 When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the window.
| وَتَوَجَّهَ يَاهُو إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ. فَلَمَّا عَلِمَتْ إِيزَابِلُ بِذَلِكَ كَحَّلَتْ عَيْنَيْهَا وَزَيَّنَتْ شَعْرَهَا وَأَطَلَّتْ مِنَ الكُوَّةِ. | ٣٠ |
31 As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?”
| وَعِنْدَمَا اجْتَازَ يَاهُو عَتَبَةَ بَابِ سَاحَةِ الْقَصْرِ قَالَتْ: «أَجِئْتَ مُسَالِماً يَا زِمْرِي يَا قَاتِلَ سَيِّدِهِ؟» | ٣١ |
32 He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
| فَرَفَعَ وَجْهَهُ إِلَيْهَا وَصَاحَ: «مَنْ هُنَا مَعِي؟» فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِ اثْنَانِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةٌ مِنَ الْخِصْيَانِ. | ٣٢ |
33 He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot.
| فَقَالَ: «اطْرَحُوهَا». فَأَلْقَوْا بِها مِنَ الكُوَّةِ فَتَنَاثَرَ بَعْضُ دَمِهَا عَلَى الْجِدَارِ وَعَلَى الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي دَاسَتْهَا بِحَوَافِرِهَا. | ٣٣ |
34 When he had come in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to 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 They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands.
| وَعِنْدَمَا خَرَجُوا لِيَدْفِنُوهَا لَمْ يَجِدُوا مِنْ أَشْلائِهَا سِوَى الْجُمْجُمَةِ وَالرِّجْلَيْنِ وَكَفَّيِ الْيَدَيْنِ، | ٣٥ |
36 Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, “This is the LORD’s word, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,
| 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 body of Jezebel will be as dung on the surface of the field on Jezreel’s land, so that they won’t say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
| وَتُصْبِحُ جُثَّةُ إِيزَابِلَ كَالزِّبْلِ عَلَى وَجْهِ حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ بِحَيْثُ لَا يَتَعَرَّفُ عَلَيْهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَقُولُ: هَذِهِ إِيزَابِلُ». | ٣٧ |
