وَكَانَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ غِنًى وَكَرَامَةٌ بِكَثْرَةٍ. وَصَاهَرَ أَخْآبَ. ١ 1
Now Jehoshaphat had great riches and honor; he allied himself with Ahab by having one of his family marry his daughter.
وَنَزَلَ بَعْدَ سِنِينَ إِلَى أَخْآبَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، فَذَبَحَ أَخْآبُ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا بِكَثْرَةٍ لَهُ وَلِلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ، وَأَغْوَاهُ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ. ٢ 2
After some years, he went down to Ahab in Samaria. Ahab killed many sheep and oxen for him and the people who were with him. Ahab also persuaded him to attack Ramoth Gilead with him.
وَقَالَ أَخْآبُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: «أَتَذْهَبُ مَعِي إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ؟» وَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَثَلِي مَثَلُكَ وَشَعْبِي كَشَعْبِكَ وَمَعَكَ فِي ٱلْقِتَالِ». ٣ 3
Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered him, “I am like you, and my people are like your people. We will be with you in the war.”
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «ٱسْأَلِ ٱلْيَوْمَ عَنْ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ». ٤ 4
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please first seek the word of Yahweh for your answer.”
فَجَمَعَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ، أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنَذْهَبُ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ لِلْقِتَالِ أَمْ أَمْتَنِعُ؟» فَقَالُوا: «ٱصْعَدْ فَيَدْفَعَهَا ٱللهُ لِيَدِ ٱلْمَلِكِ». ٥ 5
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Should we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I not?” They said, “Attack, for God will give it into the hand of the king.”
فَقَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «أَلَيْسَ هُنَا أَيْضًا نَبِيٌّ لِلرَّبِّ فَنَسْأَلَ مِنْهُ؟» ٦ 6
But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here still another prophet of Yahweh with whom we might seek advice?”
فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ: «بَعْدُ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ لِسُؤَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِهِ، وَلَكِنَّنِي أُبْغِضُهُ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَتَنَبَّأُ عَلَيَّ خَيْرًا بَلْ شَرًّا كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ، وَهُوَ مِيخَا بْنُ يَمْلَةَ». فَقَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «لَا يَقُلِ ٱلْمَلِكُ هَكَذَا». ٧ 7
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may seek the advice of Yahweh, Micaiah son of Imlah, but I hate him because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil.” But Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say that.”
فَدَعَا مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ خَصِيًّا وَقَالَ: «أَسْرِعْ بِمِيخَا بْنِ يَمْلَةَ». ٨ 8
Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Quickly bring Micaiah son of Imlah.”
وَكَانَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا جَالِسَيْنِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، لَابِسَيْنِ ثِيَابَهُمَا وَجَالِسَيْنِ فِي سَاحَةٍ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ أَمَامَهُمَا. ٩ 9
Now Ahab the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on a throne, clothed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
وَعَمِلَ صِدْقِيَّا بْنُ كَنْعَنَةَ لِنَفْسِهِ قُرُونَ حَدِيدٍ وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: بِهَذِهِ تَنْطَحُ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ حَتَّى يَفْنَوْا». ١٠ 10
Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “Yahweh says this: With these you will push the Arameans until they are consumed.”
وَتَنَبَّأَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ هَكَذَا قَائِلِينَ: «ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ وَأَفْلِحْ، فَيَدْفَعَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَدِ ٱلْمَلِكِ». ١١ 11
All the prophets prophesied the same, saying, “Attack Ramoth Gilead and win, for Yahweh has given it into the hand of the king.”
وَأَمَّاَ ٱلرَّسُولُ ٱلَّذِي ذَهَبَ لِيَدْعُوَ مِيخَا فَكَلَّمَهُ قَائِلًا: «هُوَذَا كَلَامُ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ بِفَمٍ وَاحِدٍ خَيْرٌ لِلْمَلِكِ. فَلْيَكُنْ كَلَامُكَ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ وَتَكَلَّمْ بِخَيْرٍ». ١٢ 12
The messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Look, the words of the prophets with one mouth are favorable to the king. Let your words agree with theirs, and speak favorably.”
فَقَالَ مِيخَا: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّ مَا يَقُولُهُ إِلَهِي فَبِهِ أَتَكَلَّمُ». ١٣ 13
Micaiah replied, “As Yahweh lives, it is what God says that I will say.”
وَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ قَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «يَا مِيخَا، أَنَذْهَبُ إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ لِلْقِتَالِ أَمْ أَمْتَنِعُ؟» فَقَالَ: «ٱصْعَدُوا وَأَفْلِحُوا فَيُدْفَعُوا لِيَدِكُمْ». ١٤ 14
When he came to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead for battle, or not?” Micaiah answered him, “Attack and be victorious! For it will be a great victory.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «كَمْ مَرَّةٍ أَسْتَحْلِفُكَ أَنْ لَا تَقُولَ لِي إِلَّا ٱلْحَقَّ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟» ١٥ 15
Then the king said to him, “How many times must I require you to swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
فَقَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُشَتَّتِينَ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَخِرَافٍ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا. فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَيْسَ لِهَؤُلَاءِ أَصْحَابٌ، فَلْيَرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ بِسَلَامٍ». ١٦ 16
So Micaiah said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep who have no shepherd, and Yahweh said, 'These have no shepherd. Let every man return to his house in peace.'”
فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ: «أَمَا قُلْتُ لَكَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَتَنَبَّأُ عَلَيَّ خَيْرًا بَلْ شَرًّا؟» ١٧ 17
So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but only disaster?”
وَقَالَ: «فَٱسْمَعْ إِذًا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ جَالِسًا عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، وَكُلُّ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وُقُوفٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ. ١٨ 18
Then Micaiah said, “Therefore all of you should hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven were standing on his right hand and on his left.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: مَنْ يُغْوِي أَخْآبَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَصْعَدَ وَيَسْقُطَ فِي رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ؟ فَقَالَ هَذَا هَكَذَا، وَقَالَ ذَاكَ هَكَذَا. ١٩ 19
Yahweh said, 'Who will entice Ahab, king of Israel, so that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One said this and another that.
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ ٱلرُّوحُ وَوَقَفَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: أَنَا أُغْوِيهِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: بِمَاذَا؟ ٢٠ 20
Then a spirit came forward and it stood before Yahweh and said, 'I will entice him.' Yahweh said to him, 'How?'
فَقَالَ: أَخْرُجُ وَأَكُونُ لِرُوحِ كَذِبٍ فِي أَفْوَاهِ جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ. فَقَالَ: إِنَّكَ تُغْوِيهِ وَتَقْتَدِرُ. فَٱخْرُجْ وَٱفْعَلْ هَكَذَا. ٢١ 21
The spirit replied, 'I will go out and I will become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Yahweh replied, 'You will entice him, and you will also be successful. Go now and do so.'
وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ رُوحَ كَذِبٍ فِي أَفْوَاهِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ هَؤُلَاءِ، وَٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ بِشَرٍّ». ٢٢ 22
Now see, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and Yahweh has decreed disaster for you.”
فَتَقَدَّمَ صِدْقِيَّا بْنُ كَنْعَنَةَ وَضَرَبَ مِيخَا عَلَى ٱلْفَكِّ وَقَالَ: «مِنْ أَيِّ طَرِيقٍ عَبَرَ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنِّي لِيُكَلِّمَكَ؟». ٢٣ 23
Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah, came up, slapped Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh take to go from me to speak to you?”
فَقَالَ مِيخَا: «إِنَّكَ سَتَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي تَدْخُلُ فِيهِ مِنْ مُخْدَعٍ إِلَى مُخْدَعٍ لِتَخْتَبِئَ». ٢٤ 24
Micaiah said, “Look, you will know that on that day, when you run into some inner room to hide.”
فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «خُذُوا مِيخَا وَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى أَمُّونَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَإِلَى يُوآشَ ٱبْنِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، ٢٥ 25
The king of Israel said to some servants, “You people seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, my son.
وَقُولُوا هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: ضَعُوا هَذَا فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ، وَأَطْعِمُوهُ خُبْزَ ٱلضِّيقِ وَمَاءَ ٱلضِّيقِ حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ بِسَلَامٍ». ٢٦ 26
You people will say to him, 'The king says: Put this man in prison and feed him with only a little bread and only a little water, until I return safely.'”
فَقَالَ مِيخَا: «إِنْ رَجَعْتَ رُجُوعًا بِسَلَامٍ، فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمِ ٱلرَّبُّ بِي». وَقَالَ: «ٱسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلشُّعُوبُ أَجْمَعُونَ». ٢٧ 27
Then Micaiah said, “If you return safely, then Yahweh has not spoken by me.” Then he added, “Listen to this, all you people.”
فَصَعِدَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا إِلَى رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ. ٢٨ 28
So Ahab, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up against Ramoth Gilead.
وَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ: «إِنِّي أَتَنَكَّرُ وَأَدْخُلُ ٱلْحَرْبَ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَٱلْبَسْ ثِيَابَكَ». فَتَنَكَّرَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَدَخَلَا ٱلْحَرْبَ. ٢٩ 29
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into the battle.
وَأَمَرَ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ ٱلَّتِي لَهُ قَائِلًا: «لَا تُحَارِبُوا صَغِيرًا وَلَا كَبِيرًا إِلَّا مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَحْدَهُ». ٣٠ 30
Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Do not attack the unimportant or the important soldiers. Instead, attack only the king of Israel.”
فَلَمَّا رَأَى رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ قَالُوا: «إِنَّهُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ»، فَحَاوَطُوهُ لِلْقِتَالِ، فَصَرَخَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ، وَسَاعَدَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَحَوَّلَهُمُ ٱللهُ عَنْهُ. ٣١ 31
It came about that when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat they said, “That is the king of Israel.” They turned around to attack him, but Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him. God turned them away from him.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ رَجَعُوا عَنْهُ. ٣٢ 32
It came about that when the commanders of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
وَإِنَّ رَجُلًا نَزَعَ فِي قَوْسِهِ غَيْرَ مُتَعَمِّدٍ وَضَرَبَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْنَ أَوْصَالِ ٱلدِّرْعِ، فَقَالَ لِمُدِيرِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ: «رُدَّ يَدَكَ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مِنَ ٱلْجَيْشِ لِأَنِّي قَدْ جُرِحْتُ». ٣٣ 33
But a certain man drew his bow at random and shot the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. Then Ahab said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded.”
وَٱشْتَدَّ ٱلْقِتَالُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَأُوقِفَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ مُقَابِلَ أَرَامَ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَمَاتَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ. ٣٤ 34
The battle grew worse that day, and the king of Israel was held up in his chariot facing the Arameans until the evening. About the time that the sun was going down, he died.
