< اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 12 >

وَذَهَبَ رَحُبْعَامُ إِلَى شَكِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى شَكِيمَ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُمَلِّكُوهُ. ١ 1
And king Roboam goes to Sikima; for all Israel were coming to Sikima to make him king.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَبَاطَ وَهُوَ بَعْدُ فِي مِصْرَ، لِأَنَّهُ هَرَبَ مِنْ وَجْهِ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَقَامَ يَرُبْعَامُ فِي مِصْرَ، ٢ 2
وَأَرْسَلُوا فَدَعَوْهُ. أَتَى يَرُبْعَامُ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَلَّمُوا رَحُبْعَامَ قَائِلِينَ: ٣ 3
And the people spoke to king Roboam, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy;
«إِنَّ أَبَاكَ قَسَّى نِيرَنَا، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَخَفِّفِ ٱلْآنَ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ أَبِيكَ ٱلْقَاسِيَةِ، وَمِنْ نِيرِهِ ٱلثَّقِيلِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ عَلَيْنَا، فَنَخْدِمَكَ». ٤ 4
but do you now lighten somewhat of the hard service of your father, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve you.
فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَيْضًا ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ». فَذَهَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ. ٥ 5
And he said to them, Depart for three days, and return to me. And they departed.
فَٱسْتَشَارَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ ٱلشُّيُوخَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَقِفُونَ أَمَامَ سُلَيْمَانَ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ، قَائِلًا: «كَيْفَ تُشِيرُونَ أَنْ أَرُدَّ جَوَابًا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟» ٦ 6
And the king referred [the matter] to the elders, who stood before Solomon his father while he was yet living, saying, How do you advise that I should answer this people?
فَكَلَّمُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ صِرْتَ ٱلْيَوْمَ عَبْدًا لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ وَخَدَمْتَهُمْ وَأَجَبْتَهُمْ وَكَلَّمْتَهُمْ كَلَامًا حَسَنًا، يَكُونُونَ لَكَ عَبِيدًا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». ٧ 7
And they spoke to him, saying, If you will this day be a servant to this people, and will serve them, and will speak to them good words, then will they be your servants continually.
فَتَرَكَ مَشُورَةَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّتِي أَشَارُوا بِهَا عَلَيْهِ وَٱسْتَشَارَ ٱلْأَحْدَاثَ ٱلَّذِينَ نَشَأُوا مَعَهُ وَوَقَفُوا أَمَامَهُ، ٨ 8
But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they gave him, and consulted with the young men who were brought up with him, who stood in his presence.
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «بِمَاذَا تُشِيرُونَ أَنْتُمْ فَنَرُدَّ جَوَابًا عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَلَّمُونِي قَائِلِينَ: خَفِّفْ مِنَ ٱلنِّيرِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ عَلَيْنَا أَبُوكَ». ٩ 9
And he said to them, What counsel do you give? And what shall I answer to this people who speak to me, saying, Lighten somewhat of the yoke which your father has put upon us?
فَكَلَّمَهُ ٱلْأَحْدَاثُ ٱلَّذِينَ نَشَأُوا مَعَهُ قَائِلِينَ: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَلَّمُوكَ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّ أَبَاكَ ثَقَّلَ نِيرَنَا وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَخَفِّفْ مِنْ نِيرِنَا، هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ خِنْصَرِي أَغْلَظُ مِنْ مَتْنَيْ أَبِي. ١٠ 10
And the young men who had been brought up with him, who stood before his face, spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you say to this people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and do you now lighten it from off us: thus shall say to them, My little [finger shall be] thicker than my father's loins.
وَٱلْآنَ أَبِي حَمَّلَكُمْ نِيرًا ثَقِيلًا وَأَنَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى نِيرِكُمْ. أَبِي أَدَّبَكُمْ بِٱلسِّيَاطِ وَأَنَا أُؤَدِّبُكُمْ بِٱلْعَقَارِبِ». ١١ 11
And whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I also will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
فَجَاءَ يَرُبْعَامُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى رَحُبْعَامَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ قَائِلًا: «ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ». ١٢ 12
And all Israel came to king Roboam on the third day, as the king spoke to them, saying, Return to me on the third day.
فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلشَّعْبَ بِقَسَاوَةٍ، وَتَرَكَ مَشُورَةَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّتِي أَشَارُوا بِهَا عَلَيْهِ، ١٣ 13
And the king answered the people harshly; and Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men which they counselled him.
وَكَلَّمَهُمْ حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ ٱلْأَحْدَاثِ قَائِلًا: «أَبِي ثَقَّلَ نِيرَكُمْ وَأَنَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى نِيرِكُمْ. أَبِي أَدَّبَكُمْ بِٱلسِّيَاطِ وَأَنَا أُؤَدِّبُكُمْ بِٱلْعَقَارِبِ». ١٤ 14
And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
وَلَمْ يَسْمَعِ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّبَبَ كَانَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيُقِيمَ كَلَامَهُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ أَخِيَّا ٱلشِّيلُونِيِّ إِلَى يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ. ١٥ 15
And the king listened not to the people, because the change was from the Lord, that he might establish his word which he spoke by Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ، رَدَّ ٱلشَّعْبُ جَوَابًا عَلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ قَائِلِينَ: «أَيُّ قِسْمٍ لَنَا فِي دَاوُدَ؟ وَلَا نَصِيبَ لَنَا فِي ٱبْنِ يَسَّى! إِلَى خِيَامِكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. ٱلْآنَ ٱنْظُرْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ يَادَاوُدُ». وَذَهَبَ إِسْرَائِيلُ إِلَى خِيَامِهِمْ. ١٦ 16
And all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them: and the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jessae. Depart, O Israel, to your tents: now feed your own house, David. So Israel departed to his tents.
وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا فَمَلَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَحُبْعَامُ. ١٧ 17
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ أَدُورَامَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلتَّسْخِيرِ فَرَجَمَهُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ فَمَاتَ. فَبَادَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٨ 18
And the king sent Adoniram who was over the tribute; and they stoned him with stones, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to rise to flee to Jerusalem.
فَعَصَى إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ١٩ 19
So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَنَّ يَرُبْعَامَ قَدْ رَجَعَ، أَرْسَلُوا فَدَعَوْهُ إِلَى ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ، وَمَلَّكُوهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَمْ يَتْبَعْ بَيْتَ دَاوُدَ إِلَّا سِبْطُ يَهُوذَا وَحْدَهُ. ٢٠ 20
And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned out of Egypt, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and they made him king over Israel: and none followed the house of David except the tribe of Juda and Benjamin only.
وَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَحُبْعَامُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ جَمَعَ كُلَّ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا وَسِبْطَ بَنْيَامِينَ، مِئَةً وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفَ مُخْتَارٍ مُحَارِبٍ، لِيُحَارِبُوا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَرُدُّوا ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ لَرَحُبْعَامَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ. ٢١ 21
And Roboam went into Jerusalem, and he assembled the congregation of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and twenty thousand young men, warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to recover the kingdom to Roboam the son of Solomon.
وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱللهِ إِلَى شِمَعْيَا رَجُلِ ٱللهِ قَائِلًا: ٢٢ 22
And the word of the Lord came to Samaia the man of God, saying,
«كَلِّمْ رَحُبْعَامَ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَكُلَّ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ وَبَقِيَّةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: ٢٣ 23
Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَصْعَدُوا وَلَا تُحَارِبُوا إِخْوَتَكُمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٱرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، لِأَنَّ مِنْ عِنْدِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ». فَسَمِعُوا لِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَرَجَعُوا لِيَنْطَلِقُوا حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٤ 24
Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight with your brethren the sons of Israel: return each man to his own home; for this thing is from me; and they listened to the word of the Lord, and they ceased from going up, according to the word of the Lord.
وَبَنَى يَرُبْعَامُ شَكِيمَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَسَكَنَ بِهَا. ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَبَنَى فَنُوئِيلَ. ٢٥ 25
And Jeroboam built Sikima in mount Ephraim and lived in it, and went forth thence and built Phanuel.
وَقَالَ يَرُبْعَامُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «ٱلْآنَ تَرْجِعُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةُ إِلَى بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ. ٢٦ 26
And Jeroboam said in his heart, Behold, now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
إِنْ صَعِدَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ لِيُقَرِّبُوا ذَبَائِحَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، يَرْجِعْ قَلْبُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى سَيِّدِهِمْ، إِلَى رَحُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَيَقْتُلُونِي، وَيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى رَحُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا». ٢٧ 27
If this people shall go up to offer sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then the heart of the people will return to the Lord, and to their master, to Roboam king of Juda, and they will kill me.
فَٱسْتَشَارَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَعَمِلَ عِجْلَيْ ذَهَبٍ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كَثِيرٌ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَصْعَدُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. هُوَذَا آلِهَتُكَ يَاإِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَصْعَدُوكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». ٢٨ 28
And the king took counsel, and went, and made two golden heifers, and said to the people, Let it suffice you to have gone [hitherto] to Jerusalem: behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
وَوَضَعَ وَاحِدًا فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلْآخَرَ فِي دَانَ. ٢٩ 29
And he put one in Bethel, and he put the other in Dan.
وَكَانَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ خَطِيَّةً. وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى أَمَامِ أَحَدِهِمَا حَتَّى إِلَى دَانَ. ٣٠ 30
And this thing became a sin; and the people went before one as far as Dan, and left the house of the Lord.
وَبَنَى بَيْتَ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، وَصَيَّرَ كَهَنَةً مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلشَّعْبِ لَمْ يَكُونُوا مِنْ بَنِي لَاوِي. ٣١ 31
And he made houses on the high places, and made priests of any part of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
وَعَمِلَ يَرُبْعَامُ عِيدًا فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّامِنِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، كَٱلْعِيدِ ٱلَّذِي فِي يَهُوذَا، وَأَصْعَدَ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. هَكَذَا فَعَلَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ بِذَبْحِهِ لِلْعِجْلَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ عَمِلَهُمَا. وَأَوْقَفَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ كَهَنَةَ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا. ٣٢ 32
And Jeroboam appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, according to the feast in the land of Juda;
وَأَصْعَدَ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّامِنِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلَّذِي ٱبْتَدَعَهُ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، فَعَمِلَ عِيدًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَصَعِدَ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ لِيُوقِدَ. ٣٣ 33
and went up to the altar which he made in Baethel to sacrifice to the heifers which he made, and he placed in Baethel the priests of the high places which he had made. And he went up to the altar which he had made, on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, at the feast which he devised out of his own heart; and he made a feast to the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to sacrifice.
