< اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 20 >

وَجَمَعَ بَنْهَدَدُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ كُلَّ جَيْشِهِ، وَٱثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ مَلِكًا مَعَهُ، وَخَيْلًا وَمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَصَعِدَ وَحَاصَرَ ٱلسَّامِرَةَ وَحَارَبَهَا. ١ 1
And Nabuthai the Jezraelite had a vineyard, near the threshingfloor of Achaab king of Samaria.
وَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا إِلَى أَخْآبَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ بَنْهَدَدُ: ٢ 2
And Achaab spoke to Nabuthai, saying, Give me thy vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs, for it [is] near my house: and I will give thee another vineyard better than it; or if it please thee, I will give thee money, the price of this thy vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs.
لِي فِضَّتُكَ وَذَهَبُكَ، وَلِي نِسَاؤُكَ وَبَنُوكَ ٱلْحِسَانُ». ٣ 3
And Nabuthai said to Achaab, My God forbid me that I should give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
فَأَجَابَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ يَاسَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ، أَنَا وَجَمِيعُ مَا لِي لَكَ». ٤ 4
And the spirit of Achaab was troubled, and he lay down upon his bed, and covered his face, and ate no bread.
فَرَجَعَ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَقَالُوا: «هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمَ بَنْهَدَدُ قَائِلًا: إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ فِضَّتَكَ وَذَهَبَكَ وَنِسَاءَكَ وَبَنِيكَ تُعْطِينِي إِيَّاهُمْ. ٥ 5
And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and spoke to him, [saying], Why [is] thy spirit troubled, and [why] dost thou eat no bread?
فَإِنِّي فِي نَحْوِ هَذَا ٱلْوَقْتِ غَدًا أُرْسِلُ عَبِيدِي إِلَيْكَ فَيُفَتِّشُونَ بَيْتَكَ وَبُيُوتَ عَبِيدِكَ، وَكُلَّ مَا هُوَ شَهِيٌّ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ يَضَعُونَهُ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَيَأْخُذُونَهُ». ٦ 6
And he said to her, Because I spoke to Nabuthai the Jezraelite, saying, Give me thy vineyard for money; or if thou wilt, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
فَدَعَا مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَمِيعَ شُيُوخِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَقَالَ: «ٱعْلَمُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا أَنَّ هَذَا يَطْلُبُ ٱلشَّرَّ، لِأَنَّهُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ بِطَلَبِ نِسَائِي وَبَنِيَّ وَفِضَّتِي وَذَهَبِي وَلَمْ أَمْنَعْهَا عَنْهُ». ٧ 7
And Jezabel his wife said to him, Dost thou now thus act the king over Israel? arise, and eat bread, and be thine own [master], and I will give thee the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
فَقَالَ لَهُ كُلُّ ٱلشُّيُوخِ وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «لَا تَسْمَعْ لَهُ وَلَا تَقْبَلْ». ٨ 8
And she wrote a letter in the name of Achaab, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders, and to the freemen who dwelt with Nabuthai.
فَقَالَ لِرُسُلِ بَنْهَدَدَ: «قُولُوا لِسَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَرْسَلْتَ فِيهِ إِلَى عَبْدِكَ أَوَّلًا أَفْعَلُهُ. وَأَمَّا هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ فَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَهُ». فَرَجَعَ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ ٱلْجَوَابَ. ٩ 9
And it was written in the letters, saying, Keep a fast, and set Naboth in a chief place among the people.
فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ بَنْهَدَدُ وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ بِي ٱلْآلِهَةُ وَهَكَذَا تَزِيدُنِي، إِنْ كَانَ تُرَابُ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ يَكْفِي قَبَضَاتٍ لِكُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي يَتْبَعُنِي». ١٠ 10
And set two men, sons of transgressors, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, He blessed God and the king: and let them lead him forth, and stone him, and let them die.
فَأَجَابَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «قُولُوا: لَا يَفْتَخِرَنَّ مَنْ يَشُدُّ كَمَنْ يَحُلُّ». ١١ 11
And the men of his city, the elders, and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezabel sent to them, and as it had been written in the letters which she sent to them.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ وَهُوَ يَشْرَبُ مَعَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ فِي ٱلْخِيَامِ قَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «ٱصْطَفُّوا». فَٱصْطَفُّوا عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. ١٢ 12
And they proclaimed a fast, and set Nebuthai in a chief place among the people.
وَإِذَا بِنَبِيٍّ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى أَخْآبَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ رَأَيْتَ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْجُمْهُورِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ؟ هَأَنَذَا أَدْفَعُهُ لِيَدِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ، فَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٣ 13
And two men, sons of transgressors, came in, and sat opposite him, and bore witness against him, saying, Thou hast blessed God and the king. And they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, and he died.
فَقَالَ أَخْآبُ: «بِمَنْ؟» فَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: بِغِلْمَانِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمُقَاطَعَاتِ». فَقَالَ: «مَنْ يَبْتَدِئُ بِٱلْحَرْبِ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ». ١٤ 14
And they sent to Jezabel, saying, Nabuthai is stoned, and is dead.
فَعَدَّ غِلْمَانَ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمُقَاطَعَاتِ فَبَلَغُوا مِئَتَيْنِ وَٱثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ. وَعَدَّ بَعْدَهُمْ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ، كُلَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، سَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ. ١٥ 15
And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard [it], that she said to Achaab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, who would not sell it to thee: for Nebuthai is not alive, for he is dead.
وَخَرَجُوا عِنْدَ ٱلظُّهْرِ وَبَنْهَدَدُ يَشْرَبُ وَيَسْكَرُ فِي ٱلْخِيَامِ هُوَ وَٱلْمُلُوكُ ٱلِٱثْنَانِ وَٱلثَّلَاثُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَاعَدُوهُ. ١٦ 16
And it came to pass, when Achaab heard that Nabuthai the Jezraelite was dead, that he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth. And it came to pass afterward, that Achaab arose and went down to the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, to take possession of it.
فَخَرَجَ غِلْمَانُ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمُقَاطَعَاتِ أَوَّلًا. وَأَرْسَلَ بَنْهَدَدُ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ خَرَجَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ». ١٧ 17
And the Lord spoke to Eliu the Thesbite, saying,
فَقَالَ: «إِنْ كَانُوا قَدْ خَرَجُوا لِلسَّلَامِ فَأَمْسِكُوهُمْ أَحْيَاءً، وَإِنْ كَانُوا قَدْ خَرَجُوا لِلْقِتَالِ فَأَمْسِكُوهُمْ أَحْيَاءً». ١٨ 18
Arise, and go down to meet Achaab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, for he [is] in the vineyard of Nabuthai, for he has gone down thither to take possession of it.
فَخَرَجَ غِلْمَانُ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمُقَاطَعَاتِ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، هُمْ وَٱلْجَيْشُ ٱلَّذِي وَرَاءَهُمْ، ١٩ 19
And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast slain and taken possession, therefore thus saith the Lord, In every place where the swine and the dogs have licked the blood of Nabuthai, there shall the dogs lick thy blood; and the harlots shall wash themselves in thy blood.
وَضَرَبَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ رَجُلَهُ، فَهَرَبَ ٱلْأَرَامِيُّونَ، وَطَارَدَهُمْ إِسْرَائِيلُ، وَنَجَا بَنْهَدَدُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ مَعَ ٱلْفُرْسَانِ. ٢٠ 20
And Achaab said to Eliu, Hast thou found me, mine enemy? and he said, I have found [thee]: because thou hast wickedly sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger;
وَخَرَجَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَضَرَبَ ٱلْخَيْلَ وَٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ، وَضَرَبَ أَرَامَ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً. ٢١ 21
behold, I bring evil upon thee: and I will kindle a fire after thee, and I will utterly destroy every male of Achaab, and him that is shut up and him that is left in Israel.
فَتَقَدَّمَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِلَى مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱذْهَبْ تَشَدَّدْ، وَٱعْلَمْ وَٱنْظُرْ مَا تَفْعَلُ، لِأَنَّهُ عِنْدَ تَمَامِ ٱلسَّنَةِ يَصْعَدُ عَلَيْكَ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ». ٢٢ 22
And I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa son of Achia, because of the provocations wherewith thou hast provoked [me], and caused Israel to sin.
وَأَمَّا عَبِيدُ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «إِنَّ آلِهَتَهُمْ آلِهَةُ جِبَالٍ، لِذَلِكَ قَوُوا عَلَيْنَا. وَلَكِنْ إِذَا حَارَبْنَاهُمْ فِي ٱلسَّهْلِ فَإِنَّنَا نَقْوَى عَلَيْهِمْ. ٢٣ 23
And the Lord spoke of Jezabel, saying, The dogs shall devour her within the fortification of Jezrael.
وَٱفْعَلْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ: ٱعْزِلِ ٱلْمُلُوكَ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ، وَضَعْ قُوَّادًا مَكَانَهُمْ. ٢٤ 24
Him that is dead of Achaab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that is dead of him in the field shall the birds of the sky eat.
وَأَحْصِ لِنَفْسِكَ جَيْشًا كَٱلْجَيْشِ ٱلَّذِي سَقَطَ مِنْكَ، فَرَسًا بِفَرَسٍ، وَمَرْكَبَةً بِمَرْكَبَةٍ، فَنُحَارِبَهُمْ فِي ٱلسَّهْلِ وَنَقْوَى عَلَيْهِمْ». فَسَمِعَ لِقَوْلِهِمْ وَفَعَلَ كَذَلِكَ. ٢٥ 25
But Achaab [did] wickedly, in that he sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his wife Jezabel led him astray.
وَعِنْدَ تَمَامِ ٱلسَّنَةِ عَدَّ بَنْهَدَدُ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى أَفِيقَ لِيُحَارِبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٦ 26
And he did very abominably in following after the abominations, according to all that the Amorite did, whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
وَأُحْصِيَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَتَزَوَّدُوا وَسَارُوا لِلِقَائِهِمْ. فَنَزَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مُقَابِلَهُمْ نَظِيرَ قَطِيعَيْنِ صَغِيرَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْمِعْزَى، وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَرَامِيُّونَ فَمَلَأُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ. ٢٧ 27
And because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and rent his garment, and girt sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he smote Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.
فَتَقَدَّمَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ وَكَلَّمَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ قَالُوا: إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَهُ جِبَالٍ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ إِلَهَ أَوْدِيَةٍ، أَدْفَعُ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْجُمْهُورِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ لِيَدِكَ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ». ٢٨ 28
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of his servant Eliu concerning Achaab, and the Lord said,
فَنَزَلَ هَؤُلَاءِ مُقَابِلَ أُولَئِكَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ ٱشْتَبَكَتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ، فَضَرَبَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ مِئَةَ أَلْفِ رَاجِلٍ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ. ٢٩ 29
Hast thou seen how Achaab has been pricked [to the heart] before me? I will not bring on the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring on the evil.
وَهَرَبَ ٱلْبَاقُونَ إِلَى أَفِيقَ، إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَسَقَطَ ٱلسُّورُ عَلَى ٱلسَّبْعَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ ٱلْبَاقِينَ. وَهَرَبَ بَنْهَدَدُ وَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، مِنْ مِخْدَعٍ إِلَى مِخْدَعٍ. ٣٠ 30
And the son of Ader gathered all his forces, and went up and besieged Samaria, [he] and thirty-two kings with him, and all [his] horse and chariots: and they went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «إِنَّنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا أَنَّ مُلُوكَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُمْ مُلُوكٌ حَلِيمُونَ، فَلْنَضَعْ مُسُوحًا عَلَى أَحْقَائِنَا وَحِبَالًا عَلَى رُؤُوسِنَا وَنَخْرُجُ إِلَى مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَعَلَّهُ يُحْيِي نَفْسَكَ». ٣١ 31
And he sent into the city to Achaab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says the son of Ader,
فَشَدُّوا مُسُوحًا عَلَى أَحْقَائِهِمْ وَحِبَالًا عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالُوا: «يَقُولُ عَبْدُكَ بَنْهَدَدُ: لِتَحْيَ نَفْسِي». فَقَالَ: «أَهُوَ حَيٌّ بَعْدُ؟ هُوَ أَخِي». ٣٢ 32
Thy silver and thy gold are mine, and thy wives and thy children are mine.
فَتَفَاءَلَ ٱلرِّجَالُ وَأَسْرَعُوا وَلَجُّوا هَلْ هُوَ مِنْهُ. وَقَالُوا: «أَخُوكَ بَنْهَدَدُ». فَقَالَ: «ٱدْخُلُوا خُذُوهُ» فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ بَنْهَدَدُ فَأَصْعَدَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ. ٣٣ 33
And the king of Israel answered and said, As thou hast said, my lord, O king, I am thine, and all mine [also].
وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنِّي أَرُدُّ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا أَبِي مِنْ أَبِيكَ، وَتَجْعَلُ لِنَفْسِكَ أَسْوَاقًا فِي دِمَشْقَ كَمَا جَعَلَ أَبِي فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ». فَقَالَ: «وَأَنَا أُطْلِقُكَ بِهَذَا ٱلْعَهْدِ». فَقَطَعَ لَهُ عَهْدًا وَأَطْلَقَهُ. ٣٤ 34
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus says the son of Ader, I sent to thee, saying, Thou shalt give me thy silver and thy gold, and thy wives and thy children.
وَإِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ: «عَنْ أَمْرِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱضْرِبْنِي». فَأَبَى ٱلرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَضْرِبَهُ. ٣٥ 35
For at this time to-morrow I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants, and it shall be that all the desirable objects of their eyes on which they shall lay their hands, they shall even take [them].
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ فَحِينَمَا تَذْهَبُ مِنْ عِنْدِي يَقْتُلُكَ أَسَدٌ». وَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ لَقِيَهُ أَسَدٌ وَقَتَلَهُ. ٣٦ 36
And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Take notice now and consider, that this man seeks mischief: for he has sent to me concerning my wives, and concerning my sons, an concerning my daughters: I have not kept back from him my silver and my gold.
ثُمَّ صَادَفَ رَجُلًا آخَرَ فَقَالَ: «ٱضْرِبْنِي». فَضَرَبَهُ ٱلرَّجُلُ ضَرْبَةً فَجَرَحَهُ. ٣٧ 37
And the elders and all the people said to him, Hearken not, and consent not.
فَذَهَبَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَٱنْتَظَرَ ٱلْمَلِكَ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ، وَتَنَكَّرَ بِعِصَابَةٍ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ. ٣٨ 38
And he said to the messengers of the son of Ader, Say to your master, All things that thou hast sent to thy servant about at first I will do; but this thing I shall not be able to do. And the men departed, and carried back the answer to him.
وَلَمَّا عَبَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ نَادَى ٱلْمَلِكَ وَقَالَ: «خَرَجَ عَبْدُكَ إِلَى وَسْطِ ٱلْقِتَالِ، وَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ مَالَ وَأَتَى إِلَيَّ بِرَجُلٍ وَقَالَ: ٱحْفَظْ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ، وَإِنْ فُقِدَ تَكُونُ نَفْسُكَ بَدَلَ نَفْسِهِ، أَوْ تَدْفَعُ وَزْنَةً مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ. ٣٩ 39
And the son of Ader sent to him, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for foxes to all the people, even my infantry.
وَفِيمَا عَبْدُكَ مُشْتَغِلٌ هُنَا وَهُنَاكَ إِذَا هُوَ مَفْقُودٌ». فَقَالَ لَهُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَكَذَا حُكْمُكَ. أَنْتَ قَضَيْتَ». ٤٠ 40
And the king of Israel answered and said, Let it be sufficient; let not the humpbacked boast as he that is upright.
فَبَادَرَ وَرَفَعَ ٱلْعِصَابَةَ عَنْ عَيْنَيْهِ، فَعَرَفَهُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ. ٤١ 41
And it came to pass when he returned him this answer, he and all the kings with him were drinking in tents: and he said to his servants, Form a trench. And they made a trench against the city.
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لِأَنَّكَ أَفْلَتَّ مِنْ يَدِكَ رَجُلًا قَدْ حَرَّمْتُهُ، تَكُونُ نَفْسُكَ بَدَلَ نَفْسِهِ، وَشَعْبُكَ بَدَلَ شَعْبِهِ». ٤٢ 42
And, behold, a prophet came to Achaab king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou seen this great multitude? behold, I give it this day into thine hands; and thou shalt know that I [am] the Lord.
فَمَضَى مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ مُكْتَئِبًا مَغْمُومًا وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. ٤٣ 43
And Achaab said, Whereby? And he said, Thus saith the Lord, by the young men of the heads of the districts. And Achaab said, Who shall begin the battle? and he said, Thou.
