1 Kings 15

1 And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam son of Nebat, reigned hath Abijam over Judah;

١ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، اعْتَلَى أَبِيَامُ عَرْشَ يَهُوذَا،

2 three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom;

٢ وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَعْكَةُ ابْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ.

3 and he walketh in all the sins of his father, that he did before him, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father;

٣ وَارْتَكَبَ جَمِيعَ خَطَايَا أَبِيهِ الَّتِي اقْتَرَفَهَا قَبْلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ مُخْلِصاً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ كَقَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ.

4 but for David's sake hath Jehovah his God given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem,

٤ إِلّا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُ إِكْرَاماً لِدَاوُدَ، رَزَقَهُ ابْناً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَأَوْرَثَهُ الْمُلْكَ وَثَبَّتَ أَرْكَانَ أُورُشَليمَ،

5 in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, and turned not aside from all that He commanded him all days of his life — only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite;

٥ لأَنَّ دَاوُدَ صَنَعَ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، إِلّا مَا جَنَاهُ بِحَقِّ أُورِيَّا الْحِثِّيِّ.

6 and war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

٦ وَخِلالَ فَتْرَةِ حُكْمِ أَبِيَامَ كَانَتِ الْحُرُوبُ مُسْتَمِرَّةً بَيْنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا.

7 And the rest of the matters of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? And war hath been between Abijam and Jeroboam;

٧ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَعْمَالِ أَبِيَامَ وَمُنْجَزَاتِهِ أَلَيْسَتْ هِي مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

8 and Abijam lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Asa his son in his stead.

٨ ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَبِيَامُ، فَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آسَا عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned hath Asa over Judah,

٩ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

10 and forty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom.

١٠ وَمَلَكَ آسَا إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ جَدَّتِهِ مَعْكَةُ ابْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ،

11 And Asa doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, like David his father,

١١ وَصَنَعَ آسَا مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ

12 and removeth the whoremongers out of the land, and turneth aside all the idols that his fathers made;

١٢ وَأَبَادَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ طَائِفَةَ الْعَاهِرِينَ الَّذِينَ يُمَارِسُونَ الشُّذُوذَ الْجِنْسِيَّ كَجُزْءٍ مِنْ عِبَادَتِهِمِ الْوَثَنِيَّةِ، وَاسْتَأْصَلَ جَمِيعَ الأَصْنَامِ الَّتِي أَقَامَهَا آبَاؤُهُ.

13 and also Maachah his mother — he turneth her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for a shrine, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and burneth [it] by the brook Kidron;

١٣ كَمَا خَلَعَ جَدَّتَهُ مَعْكَةَ مِنْ مَنْصِبِ الأُمِّ الْمَلِكَةِ، لأَنَّهَا أَقَامَتْ تِمْثَالاً لِعَشْتَارُوثَ، فَانْتَزَعَ آسَا تِمْثَالَهَا وَأَحْرَقَهُ فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ.

14 and the high places have not turned aside; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect with Jehovah all his days,

١٤ أَمَّا مَذَابِحُ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ فَلَمْ يَهْدِمْهَا، إِلّا أَنَّ قَلْبَهُ كَانَ خَالِصَ الْوَلاءِ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ.

15 and he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of Jehovah, silver, and gold, and vessels.

١٥ وَجَاءَ بِكُلِّ مَا خَصَّصَهُ أَبُوهُ وَمَا خَصَّصَهُ هُوَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ وَسِوَاهَا مِنَ الآنِيَةِ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.

16 And war hath been between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days,

١٦ وَظَلَّتِ الْحَرْبُ دَائِرَةً بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ طُوَالَ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِمَا.

17 and Baasha king of Israel goeth up against Judah, and buildeth Ramah, not to permit any one going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.

١٧ وَشَرَعَ الْمَلِكُ بَعْشَا فِي بِنَاءِ مَدِينَةِ الرَّامَةِ، لِقَطْعِ الطَّرِيقِ عَلَى الْخَارِجِينَ وَالدَّاخِلِينَ إِلَى آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا،

18 And Asa taketh all the silver and the gold that are left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, and giveth them into the hand of his servants, and king Asa sendeth them unto Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,

١٨ فَجَمَعَ آسَا بَقِيَّةَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ الْمَوْجُودَةَ فِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَخَزائِنِ قَصْرِهِ، وَأَعْطَاهَا لِرِجَالِهِ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ طَبْرِيمُونَ بْنِ حَزْيُونَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ الْمُقِيمِ فِي دِمَشْقَ قَائِلاً:

19 'A covenant [is] between me and thee, between my father and thy father; lo, I have sent to thee a reward of silver and gold; go, break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goeth up from off me.'

١٩ «إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ أَبِي وَأَبِيكَ عَهْداً، وَهَا أَنَا بَاعِثٌ إِلَيْكَ هَدِيَّةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، فَهَيَّا انْكُثْ عَهْدَكَ مَعَ بَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَكُفَّ عَنِّي».

20 And Ben-Hadad hearkeneth unto king Asa, and sendeth the heads of the forces that he hath against cities of Israel, and smiteth Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali;

٢٠ فَلَبَّى بَنْهَدَدُ طَلَبَ آسَا، وَأَرْسَلَ رُؤَسَاءَ جُيُوشِهِ فَهَاجَمُوا مُدُنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَدَمَّرَ مُدُنَ عُيُونَ وَدَانَ وَآبَلَ بَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ وَكُلَّ مِنْطَقَةِ كِنَّرُوتَ وَسَائِرَ أَرْضِ نَفْتَالِي.

21 and it cometh to pass at Baasha's hearing, that he ceaseth from building Ramah, and dwelleth in Tirzah.

٢١ وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَتْ بَعْشَا أَنْبَاءُ الْهُجُومِ، كَفَّ عَنْ بِنَاءِ الرَّامَةِ وَأَقَامَ فِي تِرْصَةَ.

22 And king Asa hath summoned all Judah — there is none exempt — and they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha hath built, and king Asa buildeth with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

٢٢ وَاسْتَدْعَى الْمَلِكُ آسَا كُلَّ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَلَمْ يُعْفِ أَحَداً، فَحَمَلُوا كُلَّ حِجَارَةِ الرَّامَةِ وَأَخْشَابِهَا الَّتِي اسْتَخْدَمَهَا بَعْشَا فِي بِنَاءِ الرَّامَةِ وَشَيَّدَ بِها الْمَلِكُ آسَا جَبْعَ بِنْيَامِينَ وَالْمِصْفَاةَ.

23 And the rest of all the matters of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? Only, at the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet;

٢٣ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ آسَا وَكُلُّ إِنْجَازَاتِهِ وَمَا قَامَ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ وَمَا بَنَاهُ مِنْ مُدُنٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ وَأُصِيبَ الْمَلِكُ آسَا فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ بِدَاءٍ فِي رِجْلَيْهِ.

24 and Asa lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoshaphat his son reigneth in his stead.

٢٤ وَعِنْدَمَا مَاتَ دُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ يَهُوشَافَاطُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

25 And Nadab son of Jeroboam hath reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigneth over Israel two years,

٢٥ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى نَادَابُ بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ سَنَتَيْنِ.

26 and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth in the way of his father, and in his sin that he made Israel to sin.

٢٦ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَسَلَكَ فِي سُبُلِ أَبِيهِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ الَّتِي أَفْضَتْ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى اقْتِرَافِ الإِثْمِ.

27 And conspire against him doth Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, and Baasha smiteth him in Gibbethon, which [is] to the Philistines — and Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon —

٢٧ وَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا مِنْ بَيْتِ يَسَّاكَرَ، وَاغْتَالَهُ بَيْنَمَا كَانَ نَادَابُ وَجَيْشُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ يُحَاصِرُونَ مَدِينَةَ جِبَّثُونَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّةَ.

28 yea, Baasha putteth him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigneth in his stead.

٢٨ وَقَدِ اغْتَالَهُ بَعْشَا فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

29 And it cometh to pass, at his reigning, he hath smitten the whole house of Jeroboam, he hath not left any breathing to Jeroboam till his destroying him, according to the word of Jehovah, that He spake by the hand of His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

٢٩ وَمَا إِنْ تَوَلَّى زِمَامَ الْمُلْكِ حَتَّى أَبَادَ كُلَّ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَلَمْ يُبْقِ عَلَى نَسَمَةٍ مِنْهُمْ، تَحْقِيقاً لِقَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبْدِهِ أَخِيَّا الشِّيلُونِيِّ،

30 because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked to anger Jehovah, God of Israel.

٣٠ بِسَبَبِ آثَامِ يَرُبْعَامَ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبَهَا وَاسْتَغْوَى بِها بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَخْطَأُوا، فَأَثَارَ غَيْظَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

31 And the rest of the matters of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٣١ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ نَادَابَ وَسائِرُ أَعْمَالِهِ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

32 And war hath been between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

٣٢ وَظَلَّتْ رَحَى الْحَرْبِ دَائِرَةً بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِهِمَا.

33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah reigned hath Baasha son of Ahijah over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years,

٣٣ وَتَوَلَّى بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا حُكْمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تِرْصَةَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِ آسَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ أَرْبَعاً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

34 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.

٣٤ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ وَسَلَكَ فِي طُرُقِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَفِي خَطِيئَتِهِ الَّتِي جَعَلَتْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقْتَرِفُونَ الإِثْمَ.
