< 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 the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went 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 |
And Elijah said to Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Beth-el. And Elisha said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el.
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 that [were] at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to-day? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; hold ye your peace.
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 |
And Elijah said to him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, 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 |
And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Jericho came to Elisha, and said to him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to-day? And he answered, Yes, I know [it]; hold ye your peace.
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 the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
فَذَهَبَ خَمْسُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَوَقَفُوا قُبَالَتَهُمَا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. وَوَقَفَ كِلَاهُمَا بِجَانِبِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | ٧ 7 |
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
وَأَخَذَ إِيلِيَّا رِدَاءَهُ وَلَفَّهُ وَضَرَبَ ٱلْمَاءَ، فَٱنْفَلَقَ إِلَى هُنَا وَهُنَاكَ، فَعَبَرَا كِلَاهُمَا فِي ٱلْيَبَسِ. | ٨ 8 |
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped [it] together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went 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, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be 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: [nevertheless], if thou shalt see me [when I am] taken from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].
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 still went on, and talked, that behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
وَكَانَ أَلِيشَعُ يَرَى وَهُوَ يَصْرُخُ: «يَا أَبِي، يَا أَبِي، مَرْكَبَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفُرْسَانَهَا». وَلَمْ يَرَهُ بَعْدُ، فَأَمْسَكَ ثِيَابَهُ وَمَزَّقَهَا قِطْعَتَيْنِ، | ١٢ 12 |
And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
وَرَفَعَ رِدَاءَ إِيلِيَّا ٱلَّذِي سَقَطَ عَنْهُ، وَرَجَعَ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | ١٣ 13 |
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of 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 he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where [is] the LORD God of Elijah? And when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went 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] to view at Jericho, saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
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 |
And they said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest perhaps the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
فَأَلَحُّوا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى خَجِلَ وَقَالَ: «أَرْسِلُوا». فَأَرْسَلُوا خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا، فَفَتَّشُوا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought 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 again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho, ) he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
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 to Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city [is] pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water [is] bad, and the ground barren.
فَقَالَ: «ٱئْتُونِي بِصَحْنٍ جَدِيدٍ، وَضَعُوا فِيهِ مِلْحًا». فَأَتَوْهُ بِهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought [it] to 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 to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren [land].
فَبَرِئَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، حَسَبَ قَوْلِ أَلِيشَعَ ٱلَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
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 Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, thou bald-head; go up, thou bald-head.
فَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى وَرَائِهِ وَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَنَهُمْ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَخَرَجَتْ دُبَّتَانِ مِنَ ٱلْوَعْرِ وَٱفْتَرَسَتَا مِنْهُمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ وَلَدًا. | ٢٤ 24 |
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tore forty and two children of them.
وَذَهَبَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلْكَرْمَلِ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ رَجَعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
