وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى يَاهُو بْنِ حَنَانِي عَلَى بَعْشَا قَائِلًا: ١ 1
During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
«مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي قَدْ رَفَعْتُكَ مِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ وَجَعَلْتُكَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَسِرْتَ فِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَجَعَلْتَ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُونَ وَيُغِيظُونَنِي بِخَطَايَاهُمْ ٢ 2
“You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
هَأَنَذَا أَنْزِعُ نَسْلَ بَعْشَا وَنَسْلَ بَيْتِهِ، وَأَجْعَلُ بَيْتَكَ كَبَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ. ٣ 3
So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
فَمَنْ مَاتَ لِبَعْشَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تَأْكُلُهُ ٱلْكِلَابُ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ تَأْكُلُهُ طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ». ٤ 4
[The bodies of] those in 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.”
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ بَعْشَا وَمَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ ٥ 5
The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
وَٱضْطَجَعَ بَعْشَا مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي تِرْصَةَ، وَمَلَكَ أَيْلَةُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ٦ 6
When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
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. ٧ 7
Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ أَيْلَةُ بْنُ بَعْشَا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تِرْصَةَ سَنَتَيْنِ. ٨ 8
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
فَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُهُ زِمْرِي رَئِيسُ نِصْفِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ، وَهُوَ فِي تِرْصَةَ يَشْرَبُ وَيَسْكَرُ فِي بَيْتِ أَرْصَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ فِي تِرْصَةَ. ٩ 9
[A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
فَدَخَلَ زِمْرِي وَضَرَبَهُ، فَقَتَلَهُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَمَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ١٠ 10
Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
وَعِنْدَ تَمَلُّكِهِ وَجُلُوسِهِ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ ضَرَبَ كُلَّ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ لَهُ بَائِلًا بِحَائِطٍ، مَعَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ. ١١ 11
As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
فَأَفْنَى زِمْرِي كُلَّ بَيْتِ بَعْشَا حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَى بَعْشَا عَنْ يَدِ يَاهُو ٱلنَّبِيِّ، ١٢ 12
That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ خَطَايَا بَعْشَا، وَخَطَايَا أَيْلَةَ ٱبْنِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَا بِهَا، وَجَعَلَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَبَاطِيلِهِمْ. ١٣ 13
Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَيْلَةَ وَكُلُّ مَا فَعَلَ، أَمَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ ١٤ 14
Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ زِمْرِي سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي تِرْصَةَ. وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ نَازِلًا عَلَى جِبَّثُونَ ٱلَّتِي لِلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. ١٥ 15
So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
فَسَمِعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلنَّازِلُونَ مَنْ يَقُولُ: «قَدْ فَتَنَ زِمْرِي وَقَتَلَ أَيْضًا ٱلْمَلِكَ». فَمَلَّكَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ عُمْرِيَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْجَيْشِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. ١٦ 16
The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
وَصَعِدَ عُمْرِي وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ جِبَّثُونَ وَحَاصَرُوا تِرْصَةَ. ١٧ 17
The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى زِمْرِي أَنَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ قَدْ أُخِذَتْ، دَخَلَ إِلَى قَصْرِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَحْرَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَمَاتَ ١٨ 18
When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَ بِهَا بِعَمَلِهِ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَيْرِهِ فِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ بِجَعْلِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ. ١٩ 19
He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ زِمْرِي وَفِتْنَتُهُ ٱلَّتِي فَتَنَهَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ ٢٠ 20
All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
حِينَئِذٍ ٱنْقَسَمَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نِصْفَيْنِ، فَنِصْفُ ٱلشَّعْبِ كَانَ وَرَاءَ تِبْنِي بْنِ جِينَةَ لِتَمْلِيكِهِ، وَنِصْفُهُ وَرَاءَ عُمْرِي. ٢١ 21
After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
وَقَوِيَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي وَرَاءَ عُمْرِي عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي وَرَاءَ تِبْنِي بْنِ جِينَةَ، فَمَاتَ تِبْنِي وَمَلَكَ عُمْرِي. ٢٢ 22
Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ عُمْرِي عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. مَلَكَ فِي تِرْصَةَ سِتَّ سِنِينَ. ٢٣ 23
Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
وَٱشْتَرَى جَبَلَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ مِنْ شَامِرَ بِوَزْنَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَبَنَى عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ. وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي بَنَاهَا بِٱسْمِ شَامِرَ صَاحِبِ ٱلْجَبَلِ «ٱلسَّامِرَةَ». ٢٤ 24
Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
وَعَمِلَ عُمْرِي ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَسَاءَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ. ٢٥ 25
But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
وَسَارَ فِي جَمِيعِ طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، وَفِي خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَبَاطِيلِهِمْ. ٢٦ 26
[When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ عُمْرِي ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ ٱلَّذِي أَبْدَى، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ ٢٧ 27
Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
وَٱضْطَجَعَ عُمْرِي مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَمَلَكَ أَخْآبُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ٢٨ 28
After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
وَأَخْآبُ بْنُ عُمْرِي مَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَمَلَكَ أَخْآبُ بْنُ عُمْرِي عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. ٢٩ 29
Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
وَعَمِلَ أَخْآبُ بْنُ عُمْرِي ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ. ٣٠ 30
Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
وَكَأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَمْرًا زَهِيدًا سُلُوكُهُ فِي خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، حَتَّى ٱتَّخَذَ إِيزَابَلَ ٱبْنَةَ أَثْبَعَلَ مَلِكِ ٱلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ ٱمْرَأَةً، وَسَارَ وَعَبَدَ ٱلْبَعْلَ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ. ٣١ 31
He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
وَأَقَامَ مَذْبَحًا لِلْبَعْلِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. ٣٢ 32
He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
وَعَمِلَ أَخْآبُ سَوَارِيَ، وَزَادَ أَخْآبُ فِي ٱلْعَمَلِ لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلَهُ. ٣٣ 33
He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
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. ٣٤ 34
During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
