اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 2
| وَكَانَ عِنْدَ إِصْعَادِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِيلِيَّا فِي ٱلْعَاصِفَةِ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، أَنَّ إِيلِيَّا وَأَلِيشَعَ ذَهَبَا مِنَ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass, when Yahweh was about to take up Elijah in a storm into the heavens, that Elijah departed, with Elisha, from Gilgal.
| فَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِأَلِيشَعَ: «ٱمْكُثْ هُنَا لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ». فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ، إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». وَنَزَلَا إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ. | ٢ 2 |
Then said Elijah unto Elisha—Tarry here, I pray thee, for, Yahweh, hath sent me as far as Bethel. And Elisha said, By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
| فَخَرَجَ بَنُو ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ إِلَى أَلِيشَعَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَأْخُذُ ٱلرَّبُّ سَيِّدَكَ مِنْ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ، إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ فَٱصْمُتُوا». | ٣ 3 |
And the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came forth unto Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that, to-day, Yahweh is taking away thy lord, from thy head? And he said—I also, know, be silent.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ إِيلِيَّا: «يَا أَلِيشَعُ، ٱمْكُثْ هُنَا لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى أَرِيحَا». فَقَالَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ، إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». وَأَتَيَا إِلَى أَرِيحَا. | ٤ 4 |
Then Elijah said to him—Elisha, I pray thee, tarry here, for, Yahweh, hath sent me to Jericho. And he said—By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
| فَتَقَدَّمَ بَنُو ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرِيحَا إِلَى أَلِيشَعَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَأْخُذُ ٱلرَّبُّ سَيِّدَكَ مِنْ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ، إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ فَٱصْمُتُوا». | ٥ 5 |
Then drew near the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho, unto Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that, to-day, Yahweh is taking away thy lord from thy head? And he said—I also, know; be silent.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ إِيلِيَّا: «أُمْكُثْ هُنَا لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». فَقَالَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ، إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». وَٱنْطَلَقَا كِلَاهُمَا. | ٦ 6 |
And Elijah said to him—Tarry here, I pray thee, for, Yahweh, hath sent me to the Jordan. And he said—By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So they two, went on.
| فَذَهَبَ خَمْسُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَوَقَفُوا قُبَالَتَهُمَا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. وَوَقَفَ كِلَاهُمَا بِجَانِبِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | ٧ 7 |
But, fifty men of the sons of the prophets, came, and stood over against them, afar off, —and, they two, stood by the Jordan.
| وَأَخَذَ إِيلِيَّا رِدَاءَهُ وَلَفَّهُ وَضَرَبَ ٱلْمَاءَ، فَٱنْفَلَقَ إِلَى هُنَا وَهُنَاكَ، فَعَبَرَا كِلَاهُمَا فِي ٱلْيَبَسِ. | ٨ 8 |
Then Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided, hither and thither, —so that they two, passed over, on dry ground.
| وَلَمَّا عَبَرَا قَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِأَلِيشَعَ: «ٱطْلُبْ: مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ لَكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُوخَذَ مِنْكَ؟». فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «لِيَكُنْ نَصِيبُ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ رُوحِكَ عَلَيَّ». | ٩ 9 |
And it came to pass, as they went over, that, Elijah, said unto Elisha—Ask, what I shall do for thee, ere yet I be taken from thee. And Elisha said, Let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit upon me.
| فَقَالَ: «صَعَّبْتَ ٱلسُّؤَالَ. فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَنِي أُوخَذُ مِنْكَ يَكُونُ لَكَ كَذَلِكَ، وَإِلَّا فَلَا يَكُونُ». | ١٠ 10 |
And he said—Thou hast asked a hard thing, —if thou see me when taken from thee, thou shall have it, so, but, if not, thou shalt not have it.
| وَفِيمَا هُمَا يَسِيرَانِ وَيَتَكَلَّمَانِ إِذَا مَرْكَبَةٌ مِنْ نَارٍ وَخَيْلٌ مِنْ نَارٍ فَفَصَلَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَصَعِدَ إِيلِيَّا فِي ٱلْعَاصِفَةِ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ١١ 11 |
And it came to pass, as they were going on and on and talking, that lo! there was a chariot of fire, with horses of fire, which parted, those two, asunder, —and Elijah went up in a storm, into the heavens.
| وَكَانَ أَلِيشَعُ يَرَى وَهُوَ يَصْرُخُ: «يَا أَبِي، يَا أَبِي، مَرْكَبَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفُرْسَانَهَا». وَلَمْ يَرَهُ بَعْدُ، فَأَمْسَكَ ثِيَابَهُ وَمَزَّقَهَا قِطْعَتَيْنِ، | ١٢ 12 |
And, as soon as Elisha saw it, he, began crying out—My father! my father! The chariots of Israel, and the horsemen thereof! But, when he could see him no longer, he took hold of his clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
| وَرَفَعَ رِدَاءَ إِيلِيَّا ٱلَّذِي سَقَطَ عَنْهُ، وَرَجَعَ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | ١٣ 13 |
Then took he up the mantle of Elijah, which had fallen from him, —and returned and stood, on the brink of the Jordan;
| فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَ إِيلِيَّا ٱلَّذِي سَقَطَ عَنْهُ وَضَرَبَ ٱلْمَاءَ وَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِيلِيَّا؟» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ ٱلْمَاءَ أَيْضًا فَٱنْفَلَقَ إِلَى هُنَا وَهُنَاكَ، فَعَبَرَ أَلِيشَعُ. | ١٤ 14 |
and took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah? And, when, he also, smote the waters, they were divided, hither and thither, and Elisha, passed over.
| وَلَمَّا رَآهُ بَنُو ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرِيحَا قُبَالَتَهُ قَالُوا: «قَدِ ٱسْتَقَرَّتْ رُوحُ إِيلِيَّا عَلَى أَلِيشَعَ». فَجَاءُوا لِلِقَائِهِ وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And, when the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho, over against him, saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah, resteth, on Elisha. So they came to meet him, and bowed themselves down to him, to the ground.
| وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هُوَذَا مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ خَمْسُونَ رَجُلًا ذَوُو بَأْسٍ، فَدَعْهُمْ يَذْهَبُونَ وَيُفَتِّشُونَ عَلَى سَيِّدِكَ، لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ قَدْ حَمَلَهُ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَطَرَحَهُ عَلَى أَحَدِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، أَوْ فِي أَحَدِ ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ». فَقَالَ: «لَاتُرْسِلُوا». | ١٦ 16 |
Then said they unto him—Lo! we pray thee, there are with thy servants fifty men, sons of valour—let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy lord, lest the Spirit of Yahweh have borne him away, and cast him on one of the mountains, or into one of the valleys. And he said—Ye shall not send.
| فَأَلَحُّوا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى خَجِلَ وَقَالَ: «أَرْسِلُوا». فَأَرْسَلُوا خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا، فَفَتَّشُوا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
But, when they urged him until he was ashamed, he said—Send. So they sent fifty men, and made search three days, but found him not.
| وَلَمَّا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ مَاكِثٌ فِي أَرِيحَا قَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَمَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ لَا تَذْهَبُوا؟». | ١٨ 18 |
And, when they came back unto him, he, having tarried at Jericho, he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Do not go?
| وَقَالَ رِجَالُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِأَلِيشَعَ: «هُوَذَا مَوْقِعُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ حَسَنٌ كَمَا يَرَى سَيِّدِي، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمِيَاهُ فَرَدِيَّةٌ وَٱلْأَرْضُ مُجْدِبَةٌ». | ١٩ 19 |
And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Lo! we pray thee, the situation of the city, is good, as, my lord, seeth, —but, the waters, are bad, and, the land, apt to miscarry.
| فَقَالَ: «ٱئْتُونِي بِصَحْنٍ جَدِيدٍ، وَضَعُوا فِيهِ مِلْحًا». فَأَتَوْهُ بِهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And he said—Bring me a new bowl, and put therein, salt. So they brought it unto him;
| فَخَرَجَ إِلَى نَبْعِ ٱلْمَاءِ وَطَرَحَ فِيهِ ٱلْمِلْحَ وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ أَبْرَأْتُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمِيَاهَ. لَا يَكُونُ فِيهَا أَيْضًا مَوْتٌ وَلَا جَدْبٌ». | ٢١ 21 |
and he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast therein, saith, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, I have healed these waters; there shall come from thence, no longer, death or aptness to miscarry.
| فَبَرِئَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، حَسَبَ قَوْلِ أَلِيشَعَ ٱلَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
So the waters were healed, [as they remain] unto this day, —according to the word of Elisha which he spake.
| ثُمَّ صَعِدَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ. وَفِيمَا هُوَ صَاعِدٌ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ إِذَا بِصِبْيَانٍ صِغَارٍ خَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَسَخِرُوا مِنْهُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «ٱصْعَدْ يَا أَقْرَعُ! ٱصْعَدْ يَا أَقْرَعُ!». | ٢٣ 23 |
And he went up from thence, to Bethel, —and, as he was going up on the way, some lads, came forth, out of the city, and made mockery of him, and said to him, Go up, bald head! Go up, bald head!
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى وَرَائِهِ وَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَنَهُمْ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَخَرَجَتْ دُبَّتَانِ مِنَ ٱلْوَعْرِ وَٱفْتَرَسَتَا مِنْهُمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ وَلَدًا. | ٢٤ 24 |
And, when he turned round and saw them, he cursed them, in the name of Yahweh, —and there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tare, of them, forty-two youths.
| وَذَهَبَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلْكَرْمَلِ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ رَجَعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And he went from thence, unto Mount Carmel, —and, from thence, he returned, to Samaria.
