اول پادشاهان 21
| شخصی به نام نابوت یزرعیلی تاکستانی در یزرعیل، نزدیک کاخ اَخاب پادشاه داشت. | 1 |
And after these things, in that time, there was a vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab, the king of Samaria.
| روزی اَخاب به دیدن نابوت رفت و به او گفت: «تاکستان تو نزدیک خانهٔ من است. آن را به من بفروش، چون برای سبزی‌کاری به آن احتیاج دارم. اگر بخواهی قیمتش را به نقره می‌پردازم، یا اینکه به جای آن، تاکستان بهتری به تو می‌دهم.» | 2 |
Therefore, Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying: “Give your vineyard to me, so that I may make for myself a garden of herbs. For it is nearby and is beside my house. And I will give to you, in place of it, a better vineyard. Or if you consider it to be more convenient for you, I will give you the price in silver, whatever it is worth.”
| ولی نابوت جواب داد: «خداوند آن روز را نیاورد که من میراث اجدادم را به تو بدهم.» | 3 |
Naboth responded to him, “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.”
| اَخاب پادشاه از این جواب رد چنان پریشان و ناراحت شد که به کاخ سلطنتی‌اش برگشت و در بستر خود دراز کشید و رویش را از همه برگردانید و لب به غذا نزد. | 4 |
Then Ahab went into his house, angry and gnashing his teeth over the word that Naboth, the Jezreelite, had spoken to him, saying, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And casting himself on his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and he would not eat bread.
| زنش ایزابل پیش او آمد و پرسید: «چه شده؟ چرا غذا نمی‌خوری؟ چه اتفاقی افتاده که این همه تو را ناراحت کرده است؟» | 5 |
Then Jezebel, his wife, entered to him, and she said to him: “What is this matter, by which your soul has been saddened? And why do you not eat bread?”
| اَخاب جواب داد: «امروز از نابوت یزرعیلی خواستم تاکستانش را به من به نقره بفروشد، و یا آن را با تاکستان دیگری عوض کند، ولی او قبول نکرد.» | 6 |
And he responded to her: “I spoke to Naboth, the Jezreelite, and I said to him: ‘Give your vineyard to me, and accept money. Or if it pleases you, I will give to you a better vineyard, in place of it.’ And he said, ‘I will not give my vineyard to you.’”
| ایزابل به او گفت: «مگر تو در اسرائیل پادشاه نیستی؟ بلند شو و غذا بخور و هیچ ناراحت نباش؛ تاکستان نابوت را من خودم برایت می‌گیرم!» | 7 |
Then Jezebel, his wife, said to him: “You are of great authority, and you rule well in the kingdom of Israel. Rise up and eat bread, and be even-tempered. I will give the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, to you.”
| ایزابل چند نامه به اسم اَخاب پادشاه نوشت و با مهر سلطنتی آنها را مهر کرد و برای مشایخ و سایر بزرگان شهر یزرعیل فرستاد. | 8 |
And so, she wrote letters in the name of Ahab, and she sealed these with his ring. And she sent to those greater by birth, and to the nobles who were in his city and living with Naboth.
| ایزابل در نامهٔ خود چنین نوشت: «اهالی شهر را به روزه فرا خوانید و نابوت را در صدر مجلس بنشانید. | 9 |
And this was the judgment of the letters: “Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
| سپس دو ولگرد اجیر کنید تا بیایند و شهادت بدهند که نابوت به خدا و پادشاه ناسزا گفته است. آنگاه او را از شهر بیرون کشیده، سنگسارش کنید.» | 10 |
And send out two men, sons of Belial, against him. And let them speak the false testimony: ‘He has blasphemed God and king.’ And then lead him away, and stone him, and so let him die.”
| پس مشایخ و سایر بزرگان شهر نابوت مطابق دستورهای ایزابل که در نامه‌های ارسالی نوشته شده بود، عمل کردند. | 11 |
Then his fellow citizens, those greater by birth and the nobles who were living with him in the city, did just as Jezebel had instructed them, and just as it was written in the letters that she had sent to them.
| آنها مردم شهر را جمع کردند و نابوت را به محاکمه کشیدند. | 12 |
They proclaimed a fast, and they caused Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
| بعد دو ولگرد آمده، شهادت دروغ دادند که نابوت به خدا و پادشاه ناسزا گفته است. آنگاه او را از شهر بیرون کشیده، سنگسارش کردند. | 13 |
And bringing forward two men, sons of the devil, they caused them to sit opposite him. And they, acting indeed like diabolical men, spoke testimony against him before the multitude: “Naboth has blasphemed God and king.” For this reason, they led him away, beyond the city, and they put him to death by stoning.
| سپس به ایزابل خبر دادند که نابوت سنگسار شد و مرد. | 14 |
And they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he has died.”
| ایزابل وقتی این خبر را شنید به اَخاب گفت: «بلند شو و تاکستانی را که نابوت نمی‌خواست به تو بفروشد، تصرف کن. چون او دیگر زنده نیست.» | 15 |
Then it happened that, when Jezebel had heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab: “Rise up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was not willing to acquiesce to you, and to give it to you in exchange for money. For Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
| اَخاب رفت تا تاکستان را تصرف کند. | 16 |
And when Ahab had heard this, namely, that Naboth was dead, he rose up and descended to the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, so that he might take possession of it.
| در این هنگام خداوند به ایلیای نبی فرمود: | 17 |
Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
| «برخیز و به شهر سامره، نزد اَخاب پادشاه برو. او به تاکستان نابوت رفته است تا آن را تصرف کند. | 18 |
“Rise up, and descend to meet Ahab, the king of Israel, who is in Samaria. Behold, he is descending to the vineyard of Naboth, so that he may take possession of it.
| این پیغام را از جانب من به او برسان: آیا کشتن نابوت کافی نبود که حالا می‌خواهی اموال او را نیز غارت کنی؟ سپس به او بگو: همان‌طور که سگها در بیابان خون نابوت را لیسیدند، خون تو را هم خواهند لیسید!» | 19 |
And you shall speak to him, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: You have killed. Moreover you have also taken possession.’ And after this, you shall add: ‘Thus says the Lord: In this place, where the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall also lick your blood.’”
| وقتی اَخاب چشمش به ایلیا افتاد فریاد زد: «ای دشمن من، باز هم تو به سراغم آمدی!» ایلیا جواب داد: «بله، من به سراغت آمده‌ام، زیرا تو خود را فروخته‌ای تا آنچه را که در نظر خداوند بد است انجام دهی. | 20 |
And Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you discovered me to be your enemy?” And he said: “I have discovered you to have been sold, so that you would do evil in the sight of the Lord:
| بدان که به‌زودی خداوند، تو را به بلای بزرگی گرفتار خواهد ساخت و نسل تو را از روی زمین برخواهد داشت به طوری که حتی یک مرد، خواه برده و خواه آزاد، از نسل تو در اسرائیل باقی نخواهد ماند! | 21 |
‘Behold, I will lead evil over you. And I will cut down your posterity. And I will put to death of Ahab whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is last in Israel.
| افراد خاندان تو را مثل خاندان یربعام پسر نِباط و بعشا پسر اَخیّا از بین می‌برد، چون خداوند را خشمگین نموده‌ای و تمام بنی‌اسرائیل را به گناه کشانده‌ای. | 22 |
And I will cause your house to be like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah. For you have acted so that you provoked me to anger, and so that you caused Israel to sin.’
| همچنین خداوند در مورد ایزابل می‌فرماید:”سگها بدن ایزابل را کنار دیوار یزرعیل پاره‌پاره خواهند کرد.“ | 23 |
And about Jezebel also, the Lord spoke, saying: ‘The dogs shall consume Jezebel in the field of Jezreel.
| از خانوادهٔ اَخاب هر که در شهر بمیرد، سگها او را می‌خورند و هر که در بیابان بمیرد لاشخورها او را می‌خورند.» | 24 |
If Ahab will have died in the city, the dogs will consume him. But if he will have died in the field, the birds of the air will consume him.’”
| (هیچ‌کس نبود که مثل اَخاب پادشاه تا این حد خود را به گناه فروخته باشد تا آنچه را که در نظر خداوند بد است، به جا آورد؛ زیرا زنش ایزابل او را اغوا می‌کرد. | 25 |
And so, there was no other person similar to Ahab, who was sold so that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. For his wife, Jezebel, urged him on.
| او با پرستش بتها به شیوهٔ اموری‌ها که خداوند آنها را از سرزمین موعود بیرون رانده بود، به گناهان شرم‌آوری دست زد.) | 26 |
And he became abominable, so much so that he followed the idols that the Amorites had made, whom the Lord consumed before the face of the sons of Israel.
| وقتی اَخاب سخنان ایلیا را شنید، لباس خود را پاره کرد و پلاس پوشیده، روزه گرفت. او در پلاس می‌خوابید و ماتم زده راه می‌رفت و با کسی حرف نمی‌زد. | 27 |
Then, when Ahab had heard these words, he tore his garments, and he put haircloth on his body, and he fasted, and he slept in sackcloth, and he walked with his head downcast.
| پیغام دیگری از جانب خداوند به ایلیای تشبی رسید: | 28 |
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
| «ببین اَخاب چگونه در حضور من متواضع شده است. حال که اینچنین در حضور من فروتن شده است، مادامی که زنده است این بلا را بر سرش نمی‌آورم بلکه در زمان سلطنت پسرش بر خاندان او این بلا را می‌فرستم.» | 29 |
“Have you not seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Therefore, since he has humbled himself because of me, I will not lead in the evil during his days. Instead, during the days of his son, I will bring in the evil to his house.”
