اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 6
| وَقَالَ بَنُو ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ لِأَلِيشَعَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعُ ٱلَّذِي نَحْنُ مُقِيمُونَ فِيهِ أَمَامَكَ ضَيِّقٌ عَلَيْنَا. | ١ 1 |
And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too confined for us.
| فَلْنَذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ وَنَأْخُذْ مِنْ هُنَاكَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ خَشَبَةً، وَنَعْمَلْ لِأَنْفُسِنَا هُنَاكَ مَوْضِعًا لِنُقِيمَ فِيهِ». فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا». | ٢ 2 |
Let us go, we pray thee, to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
| فَقَالَ وَاحِدٌ: «ٱقْبَلْ وَٱذْهَبْ مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ». فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَذْهَبُ». | ٣ 3 |
And one said, Be pleased, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
| فَٱنْطَلَقَ مَعَهُمْ. وَلَمَّا وَصَلُوا إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ قَطَعُوا خَشَبًا. | ٤ 4 |
So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
| وَإِذْ كَانَ وَاحِدٌ يَقْطَعُ خَشَبَةً، وَقَعَ ٱلْحَدِيدُ فِي ٱلْمَاءِ. فَصَرَخَ وَقَالَ: «آهِ يَا سَيِّدِي! لِأَنَّهُ عَارِيَةٌ». | ٥ 5 |
But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water. And he cried, and said, Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.
| فَقَالَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ: «أَيْنَ سَقَطَ؟» فَأَرَاهُ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ، فَقَطَعَ عُودًا وَأَلْقَاهُ هُنَاكَ، فَطَفَا ٱلْحَدِيدُ. | ٦ 6 |
And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in there, and made the iron to float.
| فَقَالَ: «ٱرْفَعْهُ لِنَفْسِكَ». فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَهُ. | ٧ 7 |
And he said, Take it up to thee. So he put out his hand, and took it.
| وَأَمَّا مَلِكُ أَرَامَ فَكَانَ يُحَارِبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتَآمَرَ مَعَ عَبِيدِهِ قَائِلًا: «فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلْفُلَانِيِّ تَكُونُ مَحَلَّتِي». | ٨ 8 |
Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
| فَأَرْسَلَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ إِلَى مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقُولُ: «ٱحْذَرْ مِنْ أَنْ تَعْبُرَ بِهَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ حَالُّونَ هُنَاكَ». | ٩ 9 |
And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou not pass such a place, for the Syrians are coming down there.
| فَأَرْسَلَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ عَنْهُ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ وَحَذَّرَهُ مِنْهُ وَتَحَفَّظَ هُنَاكَ، لَا مَرَّةً وَلَا مَرَّتَيْنِ. | ١٠ 10 |
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of. And he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
| فَٱضْطَرَبَ قَلْبُ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ، وَدَعَا عَبِيدَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَمَا تُخْبِرُونَنِي مَنْ مِنَّا هُوَ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» | ١١ 11 |
And the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled for this thing, and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?
| فَقَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ عَبِيدِهِ: «لَيْسَ هَكَذَا يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ. وَلَكِنَّ أَلِيشَعَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ ٱلَّذِي فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يُخْبِرُ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا فِي مُخْدَعِ مِضْطَجَعِكَ». | ١٢ 12 |
And one of his servants said, No, my lord, O king, but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel tells the king of Israel the words that thou speak in thy bedchamber.
| فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا أَيْنَ هُوَ، فَأُرْسِلَ وَآخُذَهُ». فَأُخْبِرَ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا هُوَ فِي دُوثَانَ». | ١٣ 13 |
And he said, Go and see where he is that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
| فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ خَيْلًا وَمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَجَيْشًا ثَقِيلًا، وَجَاءُوا لَيْلًا وَأَحَاطُوا بِٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Therefore he sent there horses, and chariots, and a great army. And they came by night, and encompassed the city about.
| فَبَكَّرَ خَادِمُ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ وَقَامَ وَخَرَجَ، وَإِذَا جَيْشٌ مُحِيطٌ بِٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَخَيْلٌ وَمَرْكَبَاتٌ. فَقَالَ غُلَامُهُ لَهُ: «آهِ يَاسَيِّدِي! كَيْفَ نَعْمَلُ؟» | ١٥ 15 |
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an army with horses and chariots was round about the city. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! What shall we do?
| فَقَالَ: «لَا تَخَفْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَنَا أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُمْ». | ١٦ 16 |
And he answered, Fear not, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.
| وَصَلَّى أَلِيشَعُ وَقَالَ: «يَارَبُّ، ٱفْتَحْ عَيْنَيْهِ فَيُبْصِرَ». فَفَتَحَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَيْنَيِ ٱلْغُلَامِ فَأَبْصَرَ، وَإِذَا ٱلْجَبَلُ مَمْلُوءٌ خَيْلًا وَمَرْكَبَاتِ نَارٍ حَوْلَ أَلِيشَعَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And Elisha prayed, and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
| وَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا إِلَيْهِ صَلَّى أَلِيشَعُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «ٱضْرِبْ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمَ بِٱلْعَمَى». فَضَرَبَهُمْ بِٱلْعَمَى كَقَوْلِ أَلِيشَعَ. | ١٨ 18 |
And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Jehovah, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَلِيشَعُ: «لَيْسَتْ هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلطَّرِيقَ، وَلَا هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. ٱتْبَعُونِي فَأَسِيرَ بِكُمْ إِلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي تُفَتِّشُونَ عَلَيْهِ». فَسَارَ بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria.
| فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا ٱلسَّامِرَةَ قَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «يَارَبُّ ٱفْتَحْ أَعْيُنَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَيُبْصِرُوا». فَفَتَحَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَأَبْصَرُوا وَإِذَا هُمْ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And it came to pass, when they came into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these men that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw. And, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
| فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَلِيشَعَ لَمَّا رَآهُمْ: «هَلْ أَضْرِبُ؟ هَلْ أَضْرِبُ يَا أَبِي؟» | ٢١ 21 |
And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? Shall I smite them?
| فَقَالَ: «لَا تَضْرِبْ. تَضْرِبُ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَيْتَهُمْ بِسَيْفِكَ وَبِقَوْسِكَ. ضَعْ خُبْزًا وَمَاءً أَمَامَهُمْ فَيَأْكُلُوا وَيَشْرَبُوا، ثُمَّ يَنْطَلِقُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِهِمْ». | ٢٢ 22 |
And he answered, Thou shall not smite them. Would thou smite those whom thou have taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? Set bread and water before them that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
| فَأَوْلَمَ لَهُمْ وَلِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا، ثُمَّ أَطْلَقَهُمْ فَٱنْطَلَقُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِهِمْ. وَلَمْ تَعُدْ أَيْضًا جُيُوشُ أَرَامَ تَدْخُلُ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And he prepared great provision for them. And when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
| وَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ بَنْهَدَدَ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ جَمَعَ كُلَّ جَيْشِهِ وَصَعِدَ فَحَاصَرَ ٱلسَّامِرَةَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
| وَكَانَ جُوعٌ شَدِيدٌ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. وَهُمْ حَاصَرُوهَا حَتَّى صَارَ رَأْسُ ٱلْحِمَارِ بِثَمَانِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَرُبْعُ ٱلْقَابِ مِنْ زِبْلِ ٱلْحَمَامِ بِخَمْسٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And there was a great famine in Samaria. And, behold, they besieged it until a donkey's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَائِزًا عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ صَرَخَتِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ إِلَيْهِ تَقُولُ: «خَلِّصْ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ». | ٢٦ 26 |
And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
| فَقَالَ: «لَا! يُخَلِّصْكِ ٱلرَّبُّ. مِنْ أَيْنَ أُخَلِّصُكِ؟ أَمِنَ ٱلْبَيْدَرِ أَوْ مِنَ ٱلْمِعْصَرَةِ؟» | ٢٧ 27 |
And he said, If Jehovah does not help thee, from where shall I help thee? Out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَا لَكِ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «إِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ قَدْ قَالَتْ لِي: هَاتِي ٱبْنَكِ فَنَأْكُلَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ثُمَّ، نَأْكُلَ ٱبْنِي غَدًا. | ٢٨ 28 |
And the king said to her, What troubles thee? And she answered, This woman said to me, Give thy son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.
| فَسَلَقْنَا ٱبْنِي وَأَكَلْنَاهُ. ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهَا فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْآخَرِ: هَاتِي ٱبْنَكِ فَنَأْكُلَهُ فَخَبَّأَتِ ٱبْنَهَا». | ٢٩ 29 |
So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day, Give thy son that we may eat him. And she has hid her son.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ كَلَامَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَهُوَ مُجْتَازٌ عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ، فَنَظَرَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَإِذَا مِسْحٌ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes (now he was passing by upon the wall). And the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth inside upon his flesh.
| فَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا يَصْنَعُ لِي ٱللهُ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ، إِنْ قَامَ رَأْسُ أَلِيشَعَ بْنِ شَافَاطَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْيَوْمَ». | ٣١ 31 |
Then he said, God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
| وَكَانَ أَلِيشَعُ جَالِسًا فِي بَيْتِهِ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ جُلُوسًا عِنْدَهُ. فَأَرْسَلَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَمَامِهِ. وَقَبْلَمَا أَتَى ٱلرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لِلشُّيُوخِ: «هَلْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْقَاتِلِ هَذَا قَدْ أَرْسَلَ لِكَيْ يَقْطَعَ رَأْسِي؟ ٱنْظُرُوا! إِذَا جَاءَ ٱلرَّسُولُ فَأَغْلِقُوا ٱلْبَابَ وَٱحْصُرُوهُ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَابِ. أَلَيْسَ صَوْتُ قَدَمَيْ سَيِّدِهِ وَرَاءَهُ؟». | ٣٢ 32 |
But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man from before him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, Do ye see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
| وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ إِذَا بِٱلرَّسُولِ نَازِلٌ إِلَيْهِ. فَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا هَذَا ٱلشَّرُّ هُوَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. مَاذَا أَنْتَظِرُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ بَعْدُ؟». | ٣٣ 33 |
And while he was yet talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him, and he said, Behold, this evil is of Jehovah. Why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?
