< اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 9 >

وَدَعَا أَلِيشَعُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَاحِدًا مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «شُدَّ حَقَوَيْكَ وَخُذْ قِنِّينَةَ ٱلدُّهْنِ هَذِهِ بِيَدِكَ، وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ. ١ 1
Now, Elisha the prophet, called one of the sons of the prophets, —and said to him—Gird up thy loins, and take this flask of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead;
وَإِذَا وَصَلْتَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ فَٱنْظُرْ هُنَاكَ يَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُوشَافَاطَ بْنَ نِمْشِي، وَٱدْخُلْ وَأَقِمْهُ مِنْ وَسْطِ إِخْوَتِهِ، وَٱدْخُلْ بِهِ إِلَى مُخْدَعٍ دَاخِلَ مُخْدَعٍ. ٢ 2
and, when thou art come in thither, then look thee out, there, Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi; and thou shalt enter and get him to rise up out of the midst of his brethren, and take him into an inner chamber;
ثُمَّ خُذْ قِنِّينَةَ ٱلدُّهْنِ وَصُبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ مَسَحْتُكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. ثُمَّ ٱفْتَحِ ٱلْبَابَ وَٱهْرُبْ وَلَا تَنْتَظِرْ». ٣ 3
then shalt thou take the flask of oil, and pour out upon his head, and say—Thus, saith Yahweh, I have anointed thee to be king unto Israel! Then shalt thou open the door and flee, and not tarry.
فَٱنْطَلَقَ ٱلْغُلَامُ، أَيِ ٱلْغُلَامُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ ٤ 4
So the young man went his way—the young man the prophet—unto Ramoth-gilead.
وَدَخَلَ وَإِذَا قُوَّادُ ٱلْجَيْشِ جُلُوسٌ. فَقَالَ: «لِي كَلَامٌ مَعَكَ يَا قَائِدُ». فَقَالَ يَاهُو: «مَعَ مَنْ مِنَّا كُلِّنَا؟». فَقَالَ: «مَعَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْقَائِدُ». ٥ 5
And, when he came up, lo! the captains of the force, sitting, and he said—A word, have I, for thee, O captain! And Jehu said—For which, of us all? And he said, —For thee, O captain!
فَقَامَ وَدَخَلَ ٱلْبَيْتَ، فَصَبَّ ٱلدُّهْنَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: قَدْ مَسَحْتُكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى شَعْبِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٦ 6
Then rose he up and went inside, and poured out the oil upon his head, and said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, I have anointed thee to be king unto the people of Yahweh, unto Israel;
فَتَضْرِبُ بَيْتَ أَخْآبَ سَيِّدِكَ. وَأَنْتَقِمُ لِدِمَاءِ عَبِيدِيَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَدِمَاءِ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ يَدِ إِيزَابَلَ. ٧ 7
and thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy lord, —so will I avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, at the hand of Jezebel;
فَيَبِيدُ كُلُّ بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ لِأَخْآبَ كُلَّ بَائِلٍ بِحَائِطٍ وَمَحْجُوزٍ وَمُطْلَقٍ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٨ 8
so shall perish all the house of Ahab, —and I will cut off to Ahab the meanest, both him that is shut up and him that is left at large, in Israel.
وَأَجْعَلُ بَيْتَ أَخْآبَ كَبَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، وَكَبَيْتِ بَعْشَا بْنِ أَخِيَّا. ٩ 9
Yea I will deliver up the house of Ahab, like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, —and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah:
وَتَأْكُلُ ٱلْكِلَابُ إِيزَابَلَ فِي حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُهَا». ثُمَّ فَتَحَ ٱلْبَابَ وَهَرَبَ. ١٠ 10
And, as for Jezebel, the dogs shall eat [her], in the town-land of Jezreel, there being none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
وَأَمَّا يَاهُو فَخَرَجَ إِلَى عَبِيدِ سَيِّدِهِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «أَسَلَامٌ؟ لِمَاذَا جَاءَ هَذَا ٱلْمَجْنُونُ إِلَيْكَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَكَلَامَهُ». ١١ 11
Then, Jehu, came forth unto the servants of his lord, and one said to him—Is all well? why came this madman unto thee? And he said unto them, Ye, know, the man and his message.
فَقَالُوا: «كَذِبٌ. فَأَخْبِرْنَا». فَقَالَ: «بِكَذَا وَكَذَا كَلَّمَنِي قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ مَسَحْتُكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ». ١٢ 12
And they said—False! pray tell, us. And he said, —Thus and thus, spake he unto me, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, I have anointed thee to be king unto Israel.
فَبَادَرَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ وَأَخَذَ ثَوْبَهُ وَوَضَعَهُ تَحْتَهُ عَلَى ٱلدَّرَجِ نَفْسِهِ، وَضَرَبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ مَلَكَ يَاهُو». ١٣ 13
Then hasted they, and took, every man his garment, and put it under him, upon the very steps, —and blew with a horn, and said, Jehu, is king!
وَعَصَى يَاهُو بْنُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ بْنِ نِمْشِي عَلَى يُورَامَ. وَكَانَ يُورَامُ يُحَافِظُ عَلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ هُوَ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ. ١٤ 14
Thus did Jehu son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi conspire against Joram, —when, Joram, was watching Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
وَرَجَعَ يَهُورَامُ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِكَيْ يَبْرَأَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْجُرُوحِ ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبَهُ بِهَا ٱلْأَرَامِيُّونَ حِينَ قَاتَلَ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ. فَقَالَ يَاهُو: «إِنْ كَانَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ، لَا يَخْرُجْ مُنْهَزِمٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِكَيْ يَنْطَلِقَ فَيُخْبِرَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ». ١٥ 15
But Jehoram the king had returned to get himself healed in Jezreel, of the wounds wherewith the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. Then said Jehu—If such is your mind, let no fugitive get forth out of the city, to go and tell it in Jezreel.
وَرَكِبَ يَاهُو وَذَهَبَ إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ، لِأَنَّ يُورَامَ كَانَ مُضْطَجِعًا هُنَاكَ. وَنَزَلَ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لِيَرَى يُورَامَ. ١٦ 16
So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went towards Jezreel, for, Joram, was lying there, —and, Ahaziah king of Judah, had come down to see Joram.
وَكَانَ ٱلرَّقِيبُ وَاقِفًا عَلَى ٱلْبُرْجِ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ، فَرَأَى جَمَاعَةَ يَاهُو عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِهِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَرَى جَمَاعَةً». فَقَالَ يَهُورَامُ: «خُذْ فَارِسًا وَأَرْسِلْهُ لِلِقَائِهِمْ، فَيَقُولَ: أَسَلَامٌ؟» ١٧ 17
Now, the watchman, was standing upon the tower, in Jezreel, so he saw the great company of Jehu, when he came, and said—A great company, can I see! Then said Jehoram—Take a horseman and send to meet them, that he may say—Is it peace?
فَذَهَبَ رَاكِبُ ٱلْفَرَسِ لِلِقَائِهِ وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: أَسَلَامٌ؟» فَقَالَ يَاهُو: «مَا لَكَ وَلِلسَّلَامِ؟ دُرْ إِلَى وَرَائِي». فَأَخْبَرَ ٱلرَّقِيبُ قَائِلًا: «قَدْ وَصَلَ ٱلرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ». ١٨ 18
So the horseman went to meet him, and said—Thus, saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said—What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came up to them, but hath not turned back.
فَأَرْسَلَ رَاكِبَ فَرَسٍ ثَانِيًا، فَلَمَّا وَصَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: أَسَلَامٌ؟» فَقَالَ يَاهُو: «مَا لَكَ وَلِلسَّلَامِ؟ دُرْ إِلَى وَرَائِي». ١٩ 19
Then sent he a second horseman, and he came up to them and said, Thus, saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said—What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
فَأَخْبَرَ ٱلرَّقِيبُ قَائِلًا: «قَدْ وَصَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ. وَٱلسَّوْقُ كَسَوْقِ يَاهُوَ بْنِ نِمْشِي، لِأَنَّهُ يَسُوقُ بِجُنُونٍ». ٢٠ 20
And the watchman told, saying, He came up to them, but hath not turned back, —and, the driving, is like the driving of Jehu son of Nimshi; for, with mad haste, doth he drive.
فَقَالَ يَهُورَامُ: «ٱشْدُدْ». فَشُدَّتْ مَرْكَبَتُهُ، وَخَرَجَ يَهُورَامُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ، خَرَجَا لِلِقَاءِ يَاهُو. فَصَادَفَاهُ عِنْدَ حَقْلَةِ نَابُوتَ ٱلْيَزْرَعِيلِيِّ. ٢١ 21
Then said Jehoram, Harness! So one harnessed his chariot, —and Jehoram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went forth, each man in his chariot, yea they went forth to meet Jehu, and came upon him in the heritage of Naboth the Jezreelite.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَهُورَامُ يَاهُوَ قَالَ: «أَسَلَامٌ يَا يَاهُو؟» فَقَالَ: «أَيُّ سَلَامٍ مَا دَامَ زِنَى إِيزَابَلَ أُمِّكَ وَسِحْرُهَا ٱلْكَثِيرُ؟» ٢٢ 22
And it came to pass, when Jehoram saw Jehu, that he said—Is it peace, Jehu? And he said—What can be the peace, while thy mother Jezebel’s harlotries and her incantations do so abound?
فَرَدَّ يَهُورَامُ يَدَيْهِ وَهَرَبَ، وَقَالَ لِأَخَزْيَا: «خِيَانَةً يَا أَخَزْيَا!» ٢٣ 23
Then Jehoram turned his hands, and fled, —and said unto Ahaziah—Treachery! O Ahaziah!
فَقَبَضَ يَاهُو بِيَدِهِ عَلَى ٱلْقَوْسِ وَضَرَبَ يَهُورَامَ بَيْنَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ، فَخَرَجَ ٱلسَّهْمُ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ فَسَقَطَ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ. ٢٤ 24
And, Jehu, bent his bow, and smote Jehoram, between his arms, —and the arrow came out at his heart, —and he sank down in his chariot.
وَقَالَ لِبِدْقَرَ ثَالِثِهِ: «ٱرْفَعْهُ وَأَلْقِهِ فِي حِصَّةِ حَقْلِ نَابُوتَ ٱلْيَزْرَعِيلِيِّ. وَٱذْكُرْ كَيْفَ إِذْ رَكِبْتُ أَنَا وَإِيَّاكَ مَعًا وَرَاءَ أَخْآبَ أَبِيهِ، جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ هَذَا ٱلْحِمْلَ. ٢٥ 25
Then said he unto Bidkar his officer, Take [him] up, [and] cast him forth, into the field-portion of Naboth the Jezreelite, —for remember, when I and thou were riding as a couple together after Ahab his father, that, Yahweh, laid upon him this doom:
أَلَمْ أَرَ أَمْسًا دَمَ نَابُوتَ وَدِمَاءَ بَنِيهِ يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَأُجَازِيكَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْحَقْلَةِ يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَٱلْآنَ ٱرْفَعْهُ وَأَلْقِهِ فِي ٱلْحَقْلَةِ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ». ٢٦ 26
Surely, the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, have I lately seen, declareth Yahweh, therefore will I requite thee in this portion, declareth Yahweh. Now, therefore, take [him] up, [and] cast him forth into the portion, according to the word of Yahweh.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا هَرَبَ فِي طَرِيقِ بَيْتِ ٱلْبُسْتَانِ، فَطَارَدَهُ يَاهُو وَقَالَ: «ٱضْرِبُوهُ». فَضَرَبُوهُ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ فِي عَقَبَةِ جُورَ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ يِبْلَعَامَ. فَهَرَبَ إِلَى مَجِدُّو وَمَاتَ هُنَاكَ. ٢٧ 27
And, Ahaziah king of Judah, saw it, and fled by the way of the garden house, —and Jehu pursued him, and said—Him also! smite him in the chariot! It was in the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Mepidgo, and died there.
فَأَرْكَبَهُ عَبِيدُهُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ. ٢٨ 28
And his servants conveyed him in a chariot and brought him into Jerusalem, —and buried him in his sepulchre, with his fathers, in the city of David.
فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِيُورَامَ بْنِ أَخْآبَ، مَلَكَ أَخَزْيَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا. ٢٩ 29
Now it was, in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, that Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
فَجَاءَ يَاهُو إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ. وَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ إِيزَابَلُ كَحَّلَتْ بِٱلْأُثْمُدِ عَيْنَيْهَا، وَزَيَّنَتْ رَأْسَهَا وَتَطَلَّعَتْ مِنْ كَوَّةٍ. ٣٠ 30
Now, when Jehu entered Jezreel and, Jezebel, heard of it, she set her eyes in stibium, and ornamented her head, and looked forth through the lattice.
وَعِنْدَ دُخُولِ يَاهُو ٱلْبَابَ قَالَتْ: «أَسَلَامٌ لِزِمْرِي قَاتِلِ سَيِّدِهِ؟» ٣١ 31
So, when, Jehu, had entered in at the gate, she said, Was it peace, when Zimri slew his lord?
فَرَفَعَ وَجْهَهُ نَحْوَ ٱلْكَوَّةِ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ مَعِي؟ مَنْ؟» فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِ ٱثْنَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ. ٣٢ 32
And he lifted up his face unto the lattice, and said—Who, is with me? Who? And there looked out unto him, two or three eunuchs.
فَقَالَ: «ٱطْرَحُوهَا». فَطَرَحُوهَا، فَسَالَ مِنْ دَمِهَا عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ وَعَلَى ٱلْخَيْلِ فَدَاسَهَا. ٣٣ 33
And he said—Hurl her down. And they hurled her down, —and there was sprinkled of her blood—upon the wall, and upon the horses, and they trode upon her.
وَدَخَلَ وَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «ٱفْتَقِدُوا هَذِهِ ٱلْمَلْعُونَةَ وَٱدْفِنُوهَا، لِأَنَّهَا بِنْتُ مَلِكٍ». ٣٤ 34
And, when he had entered and eaten and drunk, he said—Look, I pray you, after this accursed woman, and bury her, for the daughter of a king, she is.
وَلَمَّا مَضَوْا لِيَدْفِنُوهَا، لَمْ يَجِدُوا مِنْهَا إِلَّا ٱلْجُمْجُمَةَ وَٱلرِّجْلَيْنِ وَكَفَّيِ ٱلْيَدَيْنِ. ٣٥ 35
So they went to bury her, —but found not of her—save the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands.
فَرَجَعُوا وَأَخْبَرُوهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ إِيلِيَّا ٱلتِّشْبِيِّ قَائِلًا: فِي حَقْلِ يَزْرَعِيلَ تَأْكُلُ ٱلْكِلَابُ لَحْمَ إِيزَابَلَ. ٣٦ 36
Then came they back, and told him, and he said—The word of Yahweh, it is, which he spake by the hand of his servant, Elijah the Tishbite, saying—In the town-land of Jezreel, shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel!
وَتَكُونُ جُثَّةُ إِيزَابَلَ كَدِمْنَةٍ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْحَقْلِ فِي قِسْمِ يَزْرَعِيلَ حَتَّى لَا يَقُولُوا: هَذِهِ إِيزَابَلُ». ٣٧ 37
So shall the carcass of Jezebel become like heaps of dung on the face of the field, in the town-land of Jezreel: So that they cannot say, This, is Jezebel!
