اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 16

١ 1 وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى يَاهُو بْنِ حَنَانِي عَلَى بَعْشَا قَائِلًا:

And the word of Jehovah came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

٢ 2 «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي قَدْ رَفَعْتُكَ مِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ وَجَعَلْتُكَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَسِرْتَ فِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَجَعَلْتَ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُونَ وَيُغِيظُونَنِي بِخَطَايَاهُمْ

Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins,

٣ 3 هَأَنَذَا أَنْزِعُ نَسْلَ بَعْشَا وَنَسْلَ بَيْتِهِ، وَأَجْعَلُ بَيْتَكَ كَبَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ.

behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house, and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

٤ 4 فَمَنْ مَاتَ لِبَعْشَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تَأْكُلُهُ ٱلْكِلَابُ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ تَأْكُلُهُ طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ».

He of Baasha who dies in the city shall the dogs eat, and he of his who dies in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat.

٥ 5 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ بَعْشَا وَمَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٦ 6 وَٱضْطَجَعَ بَعْشَا مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي تِرْصَةَ، وَمَلَكَ أَيْلَةُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son reigned in his stead.

٧ 7 وَأَيْضًا عَنْ يَدِ يَاهُو بْنِ حَنَانِي ٱلنَّبِيِّ كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى بَعْشَا وَعَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِإِغَاظَتِهِ إِيَّاهُ بِعَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ، وَكَوْنِهِ كَبَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَلِأَجْلِ قَتْلِهِ إِيَّاهُ.

And moreover the word of Jehovah came against Baasha by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he smote him.

٨ 8 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ أَيْلَةُ بْنُ بَعْشَا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تِرْصَةَ سَنَتَيْنِ.

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and reigned two years.

٩ 9 فَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُهُ زِمْرِي رَئِيسُ نِصْفِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ، وَهُوَ فِي تِرْصَةَ يَشْرَبُ وَيَسْكَرُ فِي بَيْتِ أَرْصَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ فِي تِرْصَةَ.

And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.

١٠ 10 فَدَخَلَ زِمْرِي وَضَرَبَهُ، فَقَتَلَهُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَمَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.

١١ 11 وَعِنْدَ تَمَلُّكِهِ وَجُلُوسِهِ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ ضَرَبَ كُلَّ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ لَهُ بَائِلًا بِحَائِطٍ، مَعَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ.

And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he smote all the house of Baasha. He left him not a single man-child, neither of his kinfolks, nor of his friends.

١٢ 12 فَأَفْنَى زِمْرِي كُلَّ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَى بَعْشَا عَنْ يَدِ يَاهُو ٱلنَّبِيِّ،

Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

١٣ 13 لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ خَطَايَا بَعْشَا، وَخَطَايَا أَيْلَةَ ٱبْنِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَا بِهَا، وَجَعَلَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَبَاطِيلِهِمْ.

for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

١٤ 14 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَيْلَةَ وَكُلُّ مَا فَعَلَ، أَمَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

١٥ 15 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ زِمْرِي سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي تِرْصَةَ. وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ نَازِلًا عَلَى جِبَّثُونَ ٱلَّتِي لِلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

١٦ 16 فَسَمِعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلنَّازِلُونَ مَنْ يَقُولُ: «قَدْ فَتَنَ زِمْرِي وَقَتَلَ أَيْضًا ٱلْمَلِكَ». فَمَلَّكَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ عُمْرِيَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْجَيْشِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

And the people who were encamped heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has also smitten the king. Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

١٧ 17 وَصَعِدَ عُمْرِي وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ جِبَّثُونَ وَحَاصَرُوا تِرْصَةَ.

And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

١٨ 18 وَلَمَّا رَأَى زِمْرِي أَنَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ قَدْ أُخِذَتْ، دَخَلَ إِلَى قَصْرِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَحْرَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَمَاتَ

And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire,

١٩ 19 مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَ بِهَا بِعَمَلِهِ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَيْرِهِ فِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ بِجَعْلِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

and died for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did to make Israel to sin.

٢٠ 20 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ زِمْرِي وَفِتْنَتُهُ ٱلَّتِي فَتَنَهَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٢١ 21 حِينَئِذٍ ٱنْقَسَمَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نِصْفَيْنِ، فَنِصْفُ ٱلشَّعْبِ كَانَ وَرَاءَ تِبْنِي بْنِ جِينَةَ لِتَمْلِيكِهِ، وَنِصْفُهُ وَرَاءَ عُمْرِي.

Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts; half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.

٢٢ 22 وَقَوِيَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي وَرَاءَ عُمْرِي عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي وَرَاءَ تِبْنِي بْنِ جِينَةَ، فَمَاتَ تِبْنِي وَمَلَكَ عُمْرِي.

But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. So Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

٢٣ 23 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ عُمْرِي عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. مَلَكَ فِي تِرْصَةَ سِتَّ سِنِينَ.

In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, and reigned twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah.

٢٤ 24 وَٱشْتَرَى جَبَلَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ مِنْ شَامِرَ بِوَزْنَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَبَنَى عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ. وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي بَنَاهَا بِٱسْمِ شَامِرَ صَاحِبِ ٱلْجَبَلِ «ٱلسَّامِرَةَ».

And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver. And he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.

٢٥ 25 وَعَمِلَ عُمْرِي ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَسَاءَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ.

And Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.

٢٦ 26 وَسَارَ فِي جَمِيعِ طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، وَفِي خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَبَاطِيلِهِمْ.

For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

٢٧ 27 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ عُمْرِي ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ ٱلَّذِي أَبْدَى، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٢٨ 28 وَٱضْطَجَعَ عُمْرِي مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَمَلَكَ أَخْآبُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.

٢٩ 29 وَأَخْآبُ بْنُ عُمْرِي مَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَمَلَكَ أَخْآبُ بْنُ عُمْرِي عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

And in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel. And Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

٣٠ 30 وَعَمِلَ أَخْآبُ بْنُ عُمْرِي ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ.

And Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah above all who were before him.

٣١ 31 وَكَأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَمْرًا زَهِيدًا سُلُوكُهُ فِي خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، حَتَّى ٱتَّخَذَ إِيزَابَلَ ٱبْنَةَ أَثْبَعَلَ مَلِكِ ٱلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ ٱمْرَأَةً، وَسَارَ وَعَبَدَ ٱلْبَعْلَ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ.

And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

٣٢ 32 وَأَقَامَ مَذْبَحًا لِلْبَعْلِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ.

And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

٣٣ 33 وَعَمِلَ أَخْآبُ سَوَارِيَ، وَزَادَ أَخْآبُ فِي ٱلْعَمَلِ لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلَهُ.

And Ahab made the Asherah. And Ahab did yet more to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

٣٤ 34 فِي أَيَّامِهِ بَنَى حِيئِيلُ ٱلْبَيْتَئِيلِيُّ أَرِيحَا. بِأَبِيرَامَ بِكْرِهِ وَضَعَ أَسَاسَهَا، وَبِسَجُوبَ صَغِيرِهِ نَصَبَ أَبْوَابَهَا، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ يَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونٍ.

In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho. He laid the foundation of it with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates of it with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
