< اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 13 >

وَإِذَا بِرَجُلِ ٱللهِ قَدْ أَتَى مِنْ يَهُوذَا بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَيَرُبْعَامُ وَاقِفٌ لَدَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ لِكَيْ يُوقِدَ. ١ 1
Look, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD to Beth El: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
فَنَادَى نَحْوَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «يَا مَذْبَحُ، يَامَذْبَحُ، هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هُوَذَا سَيُولَدُ لِبَيْتِ دَاوُدَ ٱبْنٌ ٱسْمُهُ يُوشِيَّا، وَيَذْبَحُ عَلَيْكَ كَهَنَةَ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْكَ، وَتُحْرَقُ عَلَيْكَ عِظَامُ ٱلنَّاسِ». ٢ 2
He cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, "Altar, altar, thus says the LORD: 'Look, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. On you he shall sacrifice the cohanim of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men's bones on you.'"
وَأَعْطَى فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عَلَامَةً قَائِلًا: «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ: هُوَذَا ٱلْمَذْبَحُ يَنْشَقُّ وَيُذْرَى ٱلرَّمَادُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ». ٣ 3
He gave a sign the same day, saying, "This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Look, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out."
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ كَلَامَ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي نَادَى نَحْوَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ، مَدَّ يَرُبْعَامُ يَدَهُ عَنِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ قَائِلًا: «أَمْسِكُوهُ». فَيَبِسَتْ يَدُهُ ٱلَّتِي مَدَّهَا نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَرُدَّهَا إِلَيْهِ. ٤ 4
It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him." His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.
وَٱنْشَقَّ ٱلْمَذْبَحُ وَذُرِيَ ٱلرَّمَادُ مِن عَلىَ ٱلْمَذبَحِ حَسَبَ ٱلْعَلَامَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهَا رَجُلُ ٱللهِ بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٥ 5
The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ لِرَجُلِ ٱللهِ: «تَضَرَّعْ إِلَى وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ وَصَلِّ مِنْ أَجْلِي فَتَرْجِعَ يَدِي إِلَيَّ». فَتَضَرَّعَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ إِلَى وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ فَرَجَعَتْ يَدُ ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَتْ كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ. ٦ 6
The king answered the man of God, "Now plead for the favor of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again." The man of God entreated the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِرَجُلِ ٱللهِ: «ٱدْخُلْ مَعِي إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَتَقَوَّتْ فَأُعْطِيَكَ أُجْرَةً». ٧ 7
The king said to the man of God, "Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward."
فَقَالَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ لِلْمَلِكِ: «لَوْ أَعْطَيْتَنِي نِصْفَ بَيْتِكَ لَا أَدْخُلُ مَعَكَ وَلَا آكُلُ خُبْزًا وَلَا أَشْرَبُ مَاءً فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ. ٨ 8
The man of God said to the king, "Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
لِأَنِّي هَكَذَا أُوصِيتُ بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: لَا تَأْكُلْ خُبْزًا وَلَا تَشْرَبْ مَاءً وَلَا تَرْجِعْ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي ذَهَبْتَ فِيهِ». ٩ 9
for so was it commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that you came.'"
فَذَهَبَ فِي طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ، وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ فِيهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ. ١٠ 10
So he went another way, and did not return by the way that he came to Bethel.
وَكَانَ نَبِيٌّ شَيْخٌ سَاكِنًا فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ، فَأَتَى بَنُوهُ وَقَصُّوا عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ ٱلْعَمَلِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَقَصُّوا عَلَى أَبِيهِمِ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١١ 11
Now there lived an old prophet in Bethel; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. And they also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَبُوهُمْ: «مِنْ أَيِّ طَرِيقٍ ذَهَبَ؟» وَكَانَ بَنُوهُ قَدْ رَأَوْا ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلَّذِي سَارَ فِيهِ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ الذَّي جَاءَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا. ١٢ 12
Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons showed him the way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
فَقَالَ لِبَنِيهِ: «شُدُّوا لِي عَلَى ٱلْحِمَارِ». فَشَدُّوا لَهُ عَلَى ٱلْحِمَارِ فَرَكِبَ عَلَيْهِ ١٣ 13
He said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
وَسَارَ وَرَاءَ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ، فَوَجَدَهُ جَالِسًا تَحْتَ ٱلْبَلُّوطَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَأَنْتَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنَا هُوَ». ١٤ 14
He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" He said, "I am."
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «سِرْ مَعِي إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَكُلْ خُبْزًا». ١٥ 15
Then he said to him, "Come home with me, and eat bread."
فَقَالَ: «لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَرْجِعَ مَعَكَ وَلَا أَدْخُلُ مَعَكَ وَلَا آكُلُ خُبْزًا وَلَا أَشْرَبُ مَعَكَ مَاءً فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، ١٦ 16
He said, "I may not return with you, nor go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place.
لِأَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِي بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ: لَا تَأْكُلْ خُبْزًا وَلَا تَشْرَبْ هُنَاكَ مَاءً. وَلَا تَرْجِعْ سَائِرًا فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي ذَهَبْتَ فِيهِ». ١٧ 17
For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, 'You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.'"
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا أَيْضًا نَبِيٌّ مِثْلُكَ، وَقَدْ كَلَّمَنِي مَلَاكٌ بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ٱرْجِعْ بِهِ مَعَكَ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ فَيَأْكُلَ خُبْزًا وَيَشْرَبَ مَاءً». كَذَبَ عَلَيْهِ. ١٨ 18
He said to him, "I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.'" He lied to him.
فَرَجَعَ مَعَهُ وَأَكَلَ خُبْزًا فِي بَيْتِهِ وَشَرِبَ مَاءً. ١٩ 19
So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
وَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا جَالِسَانِ عَلَى ٱلْمَائِدَةِ كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلَّذِي أَرْجَعَهُ، ٢٠ 20
It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who brought him back;
فَصَاحَ إِلَى رَجُلِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ خَالَفْتَ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَمْ تَحْفَظِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، ٢١ 21
and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of the LORD, and have not kept the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,
فَرَجَعْتَ وَأَكَلْتَ خُبْزًا وَشَرِبْتَ مَاءً فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَكَ: لَا تَأْكُلْ فِيهِ خُبْزًا وَلَا تَشْرَبْ مَاءً، لَا تَدْخُلُ جُثَّتُكَ قَبْرَ آبَائِكَ». ٢٢ 22
but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, "Eat no bread, and drink no water"; your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.'"
ثُمَّ بَعْدَمَا أَكَلَ خُبْزًا وَبَعْدَ أَنْ شَرِبَ شَدَّ لَهُ عَلَى ٱلْحِمَارِ، أَيْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ٱلَّذِي أَرْجَعَهُ، ٢٣ 23
It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
وَٱنْطَلَقَ. فَصَادَفَهُ أَسَدٌ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَقَتَلَهُ. وَكَانَتْ جُثَّتُهُ مَطْرُوحَةً فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَٱلْحِمَارُ وَاقِفٌ بِجَانِبِهَا وَٱلْأَسَدُ وَاقِفٌ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْجُثَّةِ. ٢٤ 24
When he had gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. His body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
وَإِذَا بِقَوْمٍ يَعْبُرُونَ فَرَأَوْا ٱلْجُثَّةَ، مَطْرُوحَةً فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَٱلْأَسَدُ وَاقِفٌ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْجُثَّةِ. فَأَتَوْا وَأَخْبَرُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلشَّيْخُ سَاكِنًا بِهَا. ٢٥ 25
Look, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي أَرْجَعَهُ عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ قَالَ: «هُوَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي خَالَفَ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَدَفَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْأَسَدِ فَٱفْتَرَسَهُ وَقَتَلَهُ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَهُ بِهِ». ٢٦ 26
When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, "It is the man of God who was disobedient to the mouth of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke to him."
وَكَلَّمَ بَنِيهِ قَائِلًا: «شُدُّوا لِي عَلَى ٱلْحِمَارِ». فَشَدُّوا. ٢٧ 27
He spoke to his sons, saying, "Saddle the donkey for me." They saddled it.
فَذَهَبَ وَوَجَدَ جُثَّتَهُ مَطْرُوحَةً فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، وَٱلْحِمَارَ وَٱلْأَسَدَ وَاقِفَيْنِ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْجُثَّةِ، وَلَمْ يَأْكُلِ ٱلْأَسَدُ ٱلْجُثَّةَ وَلَا ٱفْتَرَسَ ٱلْحِمَارَ. ٢٨ 28
He went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor mauled the donkey.
فَرَفَعَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ جُثَّةَ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ وَوَضَعَهَا عَلَى ٱلْحِمَارِ وَرَجَعَ بِهَا، وَدَخَلَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلشَّيْخُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ لِيَنْدُبَهُ وَيَدْفِنَهُ ٢٩ 29
The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. And he came to the city of the old prophet to mourn and to bury him.
فَوَضَعَ جُثَّتَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَنَاحُوا عَلَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: «آهُ يَاأَخِي». ٣٠ 30
He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, "Alas, my brother."
وَبَعْدَ دَفْنِهِ إِيَّاهُ كَلَّمَ بَنِيهِ قَائِلًا: «عِنْدَ وَفَاتِي ٱدْفِنُونِي فِي ٱلْقَبْرِ ٱلَّذِي دُفِنَ فِيهِ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ. بِجَانِبِ عِظَامِهِ ضَعُوا عِظَامِي. ٣١ 31
It happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
لِأَنَّهُ تَمَامًا سَيَتِمُّ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي نَادَى بِهِ بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ نَحْوَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَنَحْوَ جَمِيعِ بُيُوتِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلَّتِي فِي مُدُنِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ». ٣٢ 32
For the saying which he proclaimed by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen."
بَعْدَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ يَرُبْعَامُ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيَّةِ، بَلْ عَادَ فَعَمِلَ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلشَّعْبِ كَهَنَةَ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ. مَنْ شَاءَ مَلَأَ يَدَهُ فَصَارَ مِنْ كَهَنَةِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ. ٣٣ 33
After this thing Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but again made cohanim of the high places from among all the people. He consecrated anyone who wanted to be a cohen at the high places.
وَكَانَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ خَطِيَّةٌ لِبَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَكَانَ لِإِبَادَتِهِ وَخَرَابِهِ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٣٤ 34
This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
