وَمَلَكَ يَهُورَامُ بْنُ أَخْآبَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا. مَلَكَ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. ١ 1
Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كَأَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ، فَإِنَّهُ أَزَالَ تِمْثَالَ ٱلْبَعْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ أَبُوهُ. ٢ 2
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَصِقَ بِخَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْهَا. ٣ 3
Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it.
وَكَانَ مِيشَعُ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ صَاحِبَ مَوَاشٍ، فَأَدَّى لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِئَةَ أَلْفِ خَرُوفٍ وَمِئَةَ أَلْفِ كَبْشٍ بِصُوفِهَا. ٤ 4
Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he rendered to the king of Israel the wool of one hundred thousand lambs, and of one hundred thousand rams.
وَعِنْدَ مَوْتِ أَخْآبَ عَصَى مَلِكُ مُوآبَ عَلَى مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٥ 5
But it happened, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
وَخَرَجَ ٱلْمَلِكُ يَهُورَامُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَعَدَّ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٦ 6
King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
وَذَهَبَ وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى يَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا يَقُولُ: «قَدْ عَصَى عَلَيَّ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ. فَهَلْ تَذْهَبُ مَعِي إِلَى مُوآبَ لِلْحَرْبِ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَصْعَدُ. مَثَلِي مَثَلُكَ. شَعْبِي كَشَعْبِكَ وَخَيْلِي كَخَيْلِكَ». ٧ 7
He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, "The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?" He said, "I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."
فَقَالَ: «مِنْ أَيِّ طَرِيقٍ نَصْعَدُ؟». فَقَالَ: «مِنْ طَرِيقِ بَرِّيَّةِ أَدُومَ». ٨ 8
He said, "Which way shall we go up?" He answered, "The way of the wilderness of Edom."
فَذَهَبَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَلِكُ يَهُوذَا وَمَلِكُ أَدُومَ وَدَارُوا مَسِيرَةَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَاءٌ لِلْجَيْشِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي تَبِعَتْهُمْ. ٩ 9
So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey. There was no water for the army, nor for the animals that followed them.
فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «آهِ، عَلَى أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَعَا هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ لِيَدْفَعَهُمْ إِلَى يَدِ مُوآبَ!». ١٠ 10
The king of Israel said, "Alas. For the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab."
فَقَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «أَلَيْسَ هُنَا نَبِيٌّ لِلرَّبِّ فَنَسْأَلَ ٱلرَّبَّ بِهِ؟» فَأَجَابَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ عَبِيدِ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «هُنَا أَلِيشَعُ بْنُ شَافَاطَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَصُبُّ مَاءً عَلَى يَدَيْ إِيلِيَّا». ١١ 11
But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him?" One of the king of Israel's servants answered, "Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah."
فَقَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «عِنْدَهُ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ». فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ وَمَلِكُ أَدُومَ. ١٢ 12
And Jehoshaphat said, "The word of the LORD is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah and the king of Edom went down to him.
فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «مَا لِي وَلَكَ! ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ أَبِيكَ وَإِلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ أُمِّكَ». فَقَالَ لَهُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «كَّلَا. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَعَا هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ لِيَدْفَعَهُمْ إِلَى يَدِ مُوآبَ». ١٣ 13
Elisha said to the king of Israel, "What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother." The king of Israel said to him, "No; for the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab."
فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا وَاقِفٌ أَمَامَهُ، إِنَّهُ لَوْلَا أَنِّي رَافِعٌ وَجْهَ يَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، لَمَا كُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكَ وَلَا أَرَاكَ. ١٤ 14
Elisha said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.
وَٱلْآنَ فَأْتُونِي بِعَوَّادٍ». وَلَمَّا ضَرَبَ ٱلْعَوَّادُ بِٱلْعُودِ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ، ١٥ 15
But now bring me a minstrel." It happened, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came on him.
فَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱجْعَلُوا هَذَا ٱلْوَادِيَ جِبَابًا جِبَابًا. ١٦ 16
He said, "Thus says the LORD, 'Make this valley full of trenches.'
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَرَوْنَ رِيحًا وَلَا تَرَوْنَ مَطَرًا وَهَذَا ٱلْوَادِي يَمْتَلِئُ مَاءً، فَتَشْرَبُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَمَاشِيَتُكُمْ وَبَهَائِمُكُمْ. ١٧ 17
For thus says the LORD, 'You will not see wind, neither will you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your animals.
وَذَلِكَ يَسِيرٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَيَدْفَعُ مُوآبَ إِلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ. ١٨ 18
This is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
فَتَضْرِبُونَ كُلَّ مَدِينَةٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ، وَكُلَّ مَدِينَةٍ مُخْتَارَةٍ، وَتَقْطَعُونَ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ، وَتَطُمُّونَ جَمِيعَ عُيُونِ ٱلْمَاءِ، وَتُفْسِدُونَ كُلَّ حَقْلَةٍ جَيِّدَةٍ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ». ١٩ 19
You shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.'"
وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ عِنْدَ إِصْعَادِ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ إِذَا مِيَاهٌ آتِيَةٌ عَنْ طَرِيقِ أَدُومَ، فَٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مَاءً. ٢٠ 20
It happened in the morning, about the time of offering the offering, that look, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ كُلُّ ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ أَنَّ ٱلْمُلُوكَ قَدْ صَعِدُوا لِمُحَارَبَتِهِمْ جَمَعُوا كُلَّ مُتَقَلِّدِي ٱلسِّلَاحِ فَمَا فَوْقُ، وَوَقَفُوا عَلَى ٱلتُّخُمِ. ٢١ 21
Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border.
وَبَكَّرُوا صَبَاحًا وَٱلشَّمْسُ أَشْرَقَتْ عَلَى ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَرَأَى ٱلْمُوآبِيُّونَ مُقَابِلَهُمُ ٱلْمِيَاهَ حَمْرَاءَ كَٱلدَّمِ. ٢٢ 22
They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood.
فَقَالُوا: «هَذَا دَمٌ! قَدْ تَحَارَبَ ٱلْمُلُوكُ وَضَرَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، وَٱلْآنَ فَإِلَى ٱلنَّهْبِ يَا مُوآبُ». ٢٣ 23
They said, "This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil."
وَأَتَوْا إِلَى مَحَلَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَقَامَ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَضَرَبُوا ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ فَهَرَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ، فَدَخَلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَضْرِبُونَ ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ. ٢٤ 24
When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.
وَهَدَمُوا ٱلْمُدُنَ، وَكَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يُلْقِي حَجَرَهُ فِي كُلِّ حَقْلَةٍ جَيِّدَةٍ حَتَّى مَلَأُوهَا، وَطَمُّوا جَمِيعَ عُيُونِ ٱلْمَاءِ وَقَطَعُوا كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ. وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَبْقَوْا فِي قِيرِ حَارِسَةَ حِجَارَتَهَا. وَٱسْتَدَارَ أَصْحَابُ ٱلْمَقَالِيعِ وَضَرَبُوهَا. ٢٥ 25
They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the springs of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth only they left its stones; however the men armed with slings went about it, and struck it.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَلِكُ مُوآبَ أَنَّ ٱلْحَرْبَ قَدِ ٱشْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ أَخَذَ مَعَهُ سَبْعَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ مُسْتَلِّي ٱلسُّيُوفِ لِكَيْ يَشُقُّوا إِلَى مَلِكِ أَدُومَ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا. ٢٦ 26
When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.
فَأَخَذَ ٱبْنَهُ ٱلْبِكْرَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ مَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ، وَأَصْعَدَهُ مُحْرَقَةً عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ. فَكَانَ غَيْظٌ عَظِيمٌ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَٱنْصَرَفُوا عَنْهُ وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى أَرْضِهِمْ. ٢٧ 27
Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
