اول پادشاهان 21
| شخصی به نام نابوت یزرعیلی تاکستانی در یزرعیل، نزدیک کاخ اَخاب پادشاه داشت. | 1 |
King Ahab had a palace in Jezreel [city]. Near the palace was a vineyard owned by a man from that city whose name was Naboth.
| 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 |
One day, Ahab [went to] Naboth and said to him, “Your vineyard is close to my palace. I would like to buy it, so that I can plant some vegetables there. In exchange, I will give you a better vineyard [somewhere else], or if you prefer, I will pay you for your vineyard.”
| ولی نابوت جواب داد: «خداوند آن روز را نیاورد که من میراث اجدادم را به تو بدهم.» | 3 |
But Naboth replied, “That land belonged to my ancestors, [so I want to keep it]. I hope that Yahweh will never allow me to give that land to you!”
| 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 |
So Ahab became very sullen and angry because of what Naboth had said. He went home and lay down on his bed. He turned his face toward the wall, and he refused to eat anything.
| زنش ایزابل پیش او آمد و پرسید: «چه شده؟ چرا غذا نمی‌خوری؟ چه اتفاقی افتاده که این همه تو را ناراحت کرده است؟» | 5 |
His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, “Why are you so depressed? Why are you refusing to eat anything?”
| 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 |
Ahab replied, “I talked to Naboth, that man from Jezreel. I told him that [I wanted] his vineyard. [I said, ] ‘I will buy it from you, or I will give you another vineyard for it.’ But he refused [to let me have it].”
| 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 |
His wife replied, “You are [RHQ] the king of Israel, [so you can get whatever you want] Get up, and eat some food and do not worry [about what Naboth said]. I will get Naboth’s vineyard for 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 |
Then Jezebel wrote some letters, and she signed Ahab’s name on them. She used his official seal to seal them. Then she sent them to the older leaders and other important men who lived in Naboth’s town.
| ایزابل در نامهٔ خود چنین نوشت: «اهالی شهر را به روزه فرا خوانید و نابوت را در صدر مجلس بنشانید. | 9 |
This is what she wrote in the letters: “Proclaim a day when all the people will [gather together and] (fast/abstain from eating food). Give to Naboth an important place to sit among them.
| 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 |
Then find two men who always cause trouble. Give them places to sit opposite/facing him. Tell these men to testify that they heard Naboth say things that criticized God and the king. Then take Naboth out of the city and kill him by throwing stones at him.”
| پس مشایخ و سایر بزرگان شهر نابوت مطابق دستورهای ایزابل که در نامه‌های ارسالی نوشته شده بود، عمل کردند. | 11 |
The leaders [received the letters and] did what Jezebel had written in the letters for them to do.
| آنها مردم شهر را جمع کردند و نابوت را به محاکمه کشیدند. | 12 |
They declared a day on which the people would all (fast/abstain from food). And they gave Naboth a seat in a place where honored people sat, in front 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 |
Two men who always caused trouble sat opposite/facing Naboth. While everyone was listening, they stated that they had heard Naboth say things that criticized God and the king. So the people seized Naboth. They took him outside the city and killed him [by throwing] stones at him.
| سپس به ایزابل خبر دادند که نابوت سنگسار شد و مرد. | 14 |
Then those leaders sent a message to Jezebel, saying “We have executed Naboth.”
| 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 |
When Jezebel found out that Naboth had been killed, she told Ahab, “Naboth is dead. Now you can go and take possession of the vineyard that he refused to sell to you.”
| اَخاب رفت تا تاکستان را تصرف کند. | 16 |
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went to the vineyard to claim that he now owned it.
| در این هنگام خداوند به ایلیای نبی فرمود: | 17 |
Then Yahweh spoke to Elijah the prophet. He said,
| «برخیز و به شهر سامره، نزد اَخاب پادشاه برو. او به تاکستان نابوت رفته است تا آن را تصرف کند. | 18 |
“Go to Samaria and talk to Ahab, the king of Israel. He is in the vineyard of a man named Naboth. He has gone there to claim that he now owns 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 |
Tell Ahab that this is what I, Yahweh, say to him: ‘You have murdered Naboth and taken his land.’ So I am telling you this: ‘In the same place where [Naboth died and] dogs came and licked up Naboth’s blood, [you will die and] the dogs will lick up your blood, too!’”
| 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 |
So when Elijah met with Ahab, Ahab said to him, “You, my enemy, have found me!” [RHQ] Elijah answered, “Yes, I have found you. You have never stopped doing the things that Yahweh says are wrong.
| 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 |
So this is what Yahweh says to you: ‘I will soon get rid of you. I will kill you, and I will also kill every male in your household, including those who are slaves and those who are not slaves.
| 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 |
Your family will all be killed, just like the family of King Jeroboam and like the family of King Baasha were killed. I will get rid of you because you have caused me to become very angry, and you have also led the Israeli people to sin.’
| همچنین خداوند در مورد ایزابل می‌فرماید:”سگها بدن ایزابل را کنار دیوار یزرعیل پاره‌پاره خواهند کرد.“ | 23 |
Yahweh has also told me that [your wife] Jezebel [will be killed, and] dogs in Jezreel will eat her corpse.
| از خانوادهٔ اَخاب هر که در شهر بمیرد، سگها او را می‌خورند و هر که در بیابان بمیرد لاشخورها او را می‌خورند.» | 24 |
The [dead bodies of the] members of your family who die in this city [will not be buried, they] will be eaten by dogs, and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
| (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 |
There was no man no man like Ahab who always did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His wife Jezebel incited/urged him to do [many of] those things.
| او با پرستش بتها به شیوهٔ اموری‌ها که خداوند آنها را از سرزمین موعود بیرون رانده بود، به گناهان شرم‌آوری دست زد.) | 26 |
The most abominable/detestable thing that Ahab did was to worship idols, just like the Amor people-group had done. And that is why Yahweh took the Amor people’s land from them and gave it to the Israelis.
| 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 |
After Elijah finished talking to Ahab, Ahab tore his clothes [to show that he was sorry for all the sins that he had committed]. He put on rough clothes that were made from sacks, and he refused to eat anything. He even wore those rough clothes made from sacks when he slept, to show that he was sorry.
| پیغام دیگری از جانب خداوند به ایلیای تشبی رسید: | 28 |
Then Yahweh said this to Elijah:
| «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 |
“I have seen [RHQ] that Ahab is now very sorry for all the evil things that he has done. So the things that I promised to do to his [family] will not happen while he is still alive. I will cause them to happen after his son becomes king. Then those things will happen to his family.” [MTY]
