٢ أخبار 10
| وَذَهَبَ رَحُبْعَامُ إِلَى شَكِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى شَكِيمَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُمَلِّكُوهُ. | ١ 1 |
Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَبَاطَ، وَهُوَ فيِ مِصْرَ حَيْثُ هَرَبَ مِنْ وَجْهِ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، رَجَعَ يَرُبْعَامُ مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ٢ 2 |
It happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon), that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
| فَأَرْسَلُوا وَدَعَوْهُ، فَأَتَى يَرُبْعَامُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَلَّمُوا رَحُبْعَامَ قَائِلِينَ: | ٣ 3 |
They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
| «إِنَّ أَبَاكَ قَسَّى نِيرَنَا، فَٱلْآنَ خَفِّفْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ أَبِيكَ ٱلْقَاسِيَةِ وَمِنْ نِيرِهِ ٱلثَّقِيلِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْدِمَكَ». | ٤ 4 |
"Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you."
| فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ». فَذَهَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ. | ٥ 5 |
He said to them, "Come again to me after three days." The people departed.
| فَٱسْتَشَارَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ ٱلشُّيُوخَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَقِفُونَ أَمَامَ سُلَيْمَانَ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ قَائِلًا: «كَيْفَ تُشِيرُونَ أَنْ أَرُدَّ جَوَابًا عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟» | ٦ 6 |
King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, "What counsel do you give me to return answer to this people?"
| فَكَلَّمُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ صَالِحًا نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ وَأَرْضَيْتَهُمْ وَكَلَّمْتَهُمْ كَلَامًا حَسَنًا، يَكُونُونَ لَكَ عَبِيدًا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». | ٧ 7 |
They spoke to him, saying, "If you are kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever."
| 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 had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «بِمَاذَا تُشِيرُونَ أَنْتُمْ فَنَرُدَّ جَوَابًا عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَلَّمُونِي قَائِلِينَ: خَفِّفْ مِنَ ٱلنِّيرِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ عَلَيْنَا أَبُوكَ؟» | ٩ 9 |
He said to them, "What counsel do you give, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, 'Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?'"
| فَكَلَّمَهُ ٱلْأَحْدَاثُ ٱلَّذِينَ نَشَأُوا مَعَهُ قَائِلِينَ: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَلَّمُوكَ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّ أَبَاكَ ثَقَّلَ نِيرَنَا وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَخَفِّفْ عَنَّا، هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ خِنْصَرِي أَغْلَظُ مِنْ مَتْنَيْ أَبِي. | ١٠ 10 |
The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;' thus you shall say to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.
| وَٱلْآنَ أَبِي حَمَّلَكُمْ نِيرًا ثَقِيلًا وَأَنَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى نِيرِكُمْ. أَبِي أَدَّبَكُمْ بِٱلسِّيَاطِ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَبِٱلْعَقَارِبِ». | ١١ 11 |
Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I 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 |
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, "Come to me again the third day."
| فَأَجَابَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِقَسَاوَةٍ، وَتَرَكَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ مَشُورَةَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ، | ١٣ 13 |
The king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
| وَكَلَّمَهُمْ حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ ٱلْأَحْدَاثِ قَائِلًا: «أَبِي ثَقَّلَ نِيرَكُمْ وَأَنَا أَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ. أَبِي أَدَّبَكُمْ بِٱلسِّيَاطِ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالْعَقَارِبِ». | ١٤ 14 |
and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
| وَلَمْ يَسْمَعِ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّبَبَ كَانَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ، لِكَيْ يُقِيمَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَلَامَهُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ أَخِيَّا ٱلشِّيلُونِيِّ إِلَى يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ. | ١٥ 15 |
So the king did not listen to the people; for it was brought about of God, that YHWH might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ، جَاوَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْمَلِكَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَيُّ قِسْمٍ لَنَا فِي دَاوُدَ؟ وَلَا نَصِيبَ لَنَا فِي ٱبْنِ يَسَّى! كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. ٱلْآنَ ٱنْظُرْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ يَادَاوُدُ». وَذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى خِيَامِهِمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, "What portion have we in David? Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, Israel. Now see to your own house, David." So all Israel departed to their tents.
| وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا فَمَلَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَحُبْعَامُ. | ١٧ 17 |
But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ هَدُورَامَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلتَّسْخِيرِ، فَرَجَمَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ فَمَاتَ. فَبَادَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٨ 18 |
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam made speed to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
| فَعَصَى إِسْرَائِيلُ بَيْتَ دَاوُدَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٩ 19 |
So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
