< 2 Kings 1 >

1 And Moab transgresseth against Israel after the death of Ahab,
وَتَمَرَّدَ الْمُوآبِيُّونَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ آخْابَ،١
2 and Ahaziah falleth through the lattice in his upper chamber that [is] in Samaria, and is sick, and sendeth messengers, and saith unto them, 'Go ye, inquire of Baal-Zebub god of Ekron if I recover from this sickness.'
وَسَقَطَ أَخَزْيَا مِنْ كُوَّةٍ فِي عُلِّيَّةِ قَصْرِهِ فِي السَّامِرَةِ، فَأُصِيبَ بِجُرْحٍ قَاتِلٍ. وَبَعَثَ رُسُلاً إِلَى مَعْبَدِ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهِ عَقْرُونَ قَائِلاً: «امْضُوا وَاسْأَلُوهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَبْرَأُ مِنْ جُرْحِي؟»٢
3 And a messenger of Jehovah hath spoken unto Elijah the Tishbite, 'Rise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and speak unto them, Is it because there is not a God in Israel — ye are going to inquire of Baal Zebub god of Ekron?
فَقَالَ مَلاكُ الرَّب لإِيلِيَّا التَّشْبِيِّ: «قُمْ وَاذْهَبْ لِلِقَاءِ رُسُلِ مَلِكِ السَّامِرَةِ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَلْ لأَنَّهُ لَا يُوْجَدُ إِلَهٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَذْهَبُونَ لِسُؤَالِ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهِ عَقْرُونَ؟٣
4 and therefore, thus said Jehovah, The bed whither thou hast gone up, thou dost not come down from it, for thou dost certainly die;' and Elijah goeth on.
لِذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنَّ السَّرِيرَ الَّذِي رَقَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ لَنْ تَنْهَضَ عَنْهُ، بَلْ حَتْماً تَمُوتَ». وَانْصَرَفَ إِيلِيَّا.٤
5 And the messengers turn back unto him, and he saith unto them, 'What [is] this — ye have turned back!'
وَرَجَعَ الرُّسُلُ إِلَى أَخَزْيَا فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا رَجَعْتُمْ؟»٥
6 And they say unto him, 'A man hath come up to meet us, and saith unto us, Go, turn back unto the king who sent you, and ye have said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, Is it because there is not a God in Israel — thou art sending to inquire of Baal-Zebub god of Ekron? therefore, the bed whither thou hast gone up, thou dost not come down from it, for thou dost certainly die.'
فَأَجَابُوهُ: «اعْتَرَضَنَا رَجُلٌ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ لِنُخْبِرَكَ أَنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ: هَلْ لأَنَّهُ لَا يُوْجَدُ إِلَهٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تُرْسِلُ لِتَسْأَلَ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ؟ لِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ السَّرِيرَ الَّذِي رَقَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ لَنْ تَنْهَضَ عَنْهُ بَلْ حَتْماً تَمُوتَ».٦
7 And he saith unto them, 'What [is] the fashion of the man who hath come up to meet you, and speaketh unto you these words?'
فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «مَا أَوْصَافُ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي اعْتَرَضَكُمْ وَبَلَّغَكُمْ هَذَا الْكَلامَ؟»٧
8 And they say unto him, 'A man — hairy, and a girdle of skin girt about his loins;' and he saith, 'He [is] Elijah the Tishbite.'
فَأَجَابُوهُ: «إِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ كَثِيفُ الشَّعْرِ مُتَنَطِّقٌ بِحِزامٍ مِنْ جِلْدٍ حَوْلَ حَقْوَيْهِ». فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ حَتْماً إِيلِيَّا التَّشْبِيُّ».٨
9 And he sendeth unto him a head of fifty and his fifty, and he goeth up unto him (and lo, he is sitting on the top of the hill), and he speaketh unto him, 'O man of God, the king hath spoken, Come down.'
فَأَرْسَلَ أَحَدَ قَادَتِهِ عَلَى رَأْسِ خَمْسِينَ جُنْدِيًّا إِلَى إِيلِيَّا، الَّذِي كَانَ جَالِساً آنَئِذٍ عَلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلٍ. فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا رَجُلَ اللهِ، إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ يَأْمُرُكَ بِمُرَافَقَتِنَا».٩
10 And Elijah answereth and speaketh unto the head of the fifty, 'And if I [am] a man of God, fire doth come down from the heavens, and consume thee and thy fifty;' and fire cometh down from the heavens, and consumeth him and his fifty.
فَأَجَابَ إِيلِيَّا: «إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا رَجُلَ اللهِ، فَلْتَنْزِلْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَتَلْتَهِمْكَ أَنْتَ وَرِجَالَكَ الْخَمْسِينَ». فَنَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْتَهَمَتْهُ مَعَ رِجَالِهِ الْخَمْسِينَ.١٠
11 And he turneth and sendeth unto him another head of fifty and his fifty, and he answereth and speaketh unto him, 'O man of God, thus said the king, Haste, come down.'
فَعَادَ أَخَزْيَا وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ قَائِداً آخَرَ عَلَى رَأْسِ خَمْسِينَ جُنْدِيًّا، فَقَالَ لإِيلِيَّا: «يَا رَجُلَ اللهِ، الْمَلِكُ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُسْرِعَ وَتَنْزِلَ».١١
12 And Elijah answereth and speaketh unto them, 'If I [am] a man of God, fire doth come down from the heavens, and consume thee and thy fifty;' and fire of God cometh down from the heavens, and consumeth him and his fifty.
فَأَجَابَهُ إِيلِيَّا: «إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا رَجُلَ اللهِ، فَلْتَنْزِلْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَتَلْتَهِمْكَ أَنْتَ وَرِجَالَكَ الْخَمْسِينَ». فَنَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْتَهَمَتْهُ مَعَ رِجَالِهِ الْخَمْسِينَ.١٢
13 And he turneth and sendeth a third head of fifty and his fifty, and the third head of fifty goeth up, and cometh in, and boweth on his knees over-against Elijah, and maketh supplication unto him, and speaketh unto him, 'O man of God, let be precious, I pray thee, my soul and the soul of thy servants — these fifty — in thine eyes.
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ أَخَزْيَا لِلْمَرَّةِ الثَّالِثَةِ قَائِداً آخَرَ عَلَى رَأْسِ خَمْسِينَ جُنْدِيًّا. فَأَقْبَلَ هَذَا إِلَى إِيلِيَّا وَجَثَا أَمَامَهُ وَتَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: «يَا رَجُلَ اللهِ، لِتَكُنْ نَفْسِي وَنُفُوسُ عَبِيدِكَ هَؤُلاءِ عَزِيزَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ.١٣
14 Lo, come down hath fire from the heavens, and consumeth the two heads of the former fifties and their fifties; and, now, let my soul be precious in thine eyes.'
لَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الْتَهَمَتِ الْقَائِدَيْنِ السَّابِقَيْنِ مَعَ رِجَالِهِمَا الْمِئَةِ، فَأَرْجُوكَ لِتَكُنْ نَفْسِي عَزِيزَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ (وَلا تَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا)».١٤
15 And a messenger of Jehovah speaketh unto Elijah, 'Go down with him, be not afraid of him;' and he riseth and goeth down with him unto the king,
فَقَالَ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ لإِيلِيَّا: «امْضِ مَعَهُ وَلا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ». فَقَامَ وَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُ لِمُقَابَلَةِ الْمَلِكِ.١٥
16 and speaketh unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because that thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-Zebub god of Ekron — is it because there is not a God in Israel to inquire of His word? therefore, the bed whither thou hast gone up — thou dost not come down from it, for thou dost certainly die.'
وَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِلْمَلِكِ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّكَ أَرْسَلْتَ مَبْعُوثِينَ لِتَسْتَشِيرَ بَعْلَ زَبُوبَ إِلَهَ عَقْرُونَ وَكَأَنَّهُ لَا يُوْجَدُ إِلَهٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِتَسْأَلَهُ، فَإِنَّ السَّرِيرَ الَّذِي رَقَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ لَنْ تَنْهَضَ عَنْهُ، بَلْ حَتْماً تَمُوتَ».١٦
17 And he dieth, according to the word of Jehovah that Elijah spake, and Jehoram reigneth in his stead, in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, for he had no son.
فَمَاتَ أَخَزْيَا بِمُوْجِبِ كَلامِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِيلِيَّا. وَإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ابْنٌ، خَلَفَهُ أَخُوهُ يَهُورَامُ، وَذَلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ يَهُورَامَ بْنِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.١٧
18 And the rest of the matters of Ahaziah that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ أَخَزْيَا وَأَعْمَالُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟١٨
