وَكَانَ لِأَخْآبَ سَبْعُونَ ٱبْنًا فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. فَكَتَبَ يَاهُو رَسَائِلَ وَأَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ يَزْرَعِيلَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ وَإِلَى مُرَبِّي أَخْآبَ قَائِلًا: ١ 1
Now Ahab had seventy descendants in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, including the elders and the guardians of Ahab's descendants, saying,
«فَٱلْآنَ عِنْدَ وُصُولِ هَذِهِ ٱلرِّسَالَةِ إِلَيْكُمْ، إِذْ عِنْدَكُمْ بَنُو سَيِّدِكُمْ، وَعِنْدَكُمْ مَرْكَبَاتٌ وَخَيْلٌ وَمَدِينَةٌ مُحَصَّنَةٌ وَسِلَاحٌ، ٢ 2
“Your master's descendants are with you, and you also have chariots and horses and a fortified city and armor. So then, as soon as this letter comes to you,
ٱنْظُرُوا ٱلْأَفْضَلَ وَٱلْأَصْلَحَ مِنْ بَنِي سَيِّدِكُمْ وَإِجْعَلُوهُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ أَبِيهِ، وَحَارِبُوا عَنْ بَيْتِ سَيِّدِكُمْ». ٣ 3
select the best and most deserving of your master's descendants and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's royal line.”
فَخَافُوا جِدًّا جِدًّا وَقَالُوا: «هُوَذَا مَلِكَانِ لَمْ يَقِفَا أَمَامَهُ، فَكَيْفَ نَقِفُ نَحْنُ؟» ٤ 4
But they were terrified and said among themselves, “See, the two kings could not stand before Jehu. So how can we stand?”
فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ وَٱلْمُرَبُّونَ إِلَى يَاهُو قَائِلِينَ: «عَبِيدُكَ نَحْنُ، وَكُلَّ مَا قُلْتَ لَنَا نَفْعَلُهُ. لَا نُمَلِّكُ أَحَدًا. مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ فَٱفْعَلْهُ». ٥ 5
Then the man who was in charge of the palace, and the man who was over the city, and the elders also, and they who raised the children, sent word back to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants. We will do everything that you command us. We will not make any man king. Do what is good in your eyes.”
فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ رِسَالَةً ثَانِيَةً قَائِلًا: «إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لِي وَسَمِعْتُمْ لِقَوْلِي، فَخُذُوا رُؤُوسَ ٱلرِّجَالِ بَنِي سَيِّدِكُمْ، وَتَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ فِي نَحْوِ هَذَا ٱلْوَقْتِ غَدًا إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ». وَبَنُو ٱلْمَلِكِ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا كَانُوا مَعَ عُظَمَاءِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ رَبَّوْهُمْ. ٦ 6
Then Jehu wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, you must take the heads of the men of your master's descendants, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king's descendants, seventy in number, were with the important men of the city, who were bringing them up.
فَلَمَّا وَصَلَتِ ٱلرِّسَالَةُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَخَذُوا بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ وَقَتَلُوا سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا وَوَضَعُوا رُؤُوسَهُمْ فِي سِلَالٍ وَأَرْسَلُوهَا إِلَيْهِ إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ. ٧ 7
So when the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and killed them, seventy persons, put their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jehu in Jezreel.
فَجَاءَ ٱلرَّسُولُ وَأَخْبَرَهُ قَائِلًا: «قَدْ أَتَوْا بِرُؤُوسِ بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ». فَقَالَ: «ٱجْعَلُوهَا كَوْمَتَيْنِ فِي مَدْخَلِ ٱلْبَابِ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ». ٨ 8
A messenger came to Jehu, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king's sons.” So he said, “Put them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.”
وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ خَرَجَ وَوَقَفَ وَقَالَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «أَنْتُمْ أَبْرِيَاءُ. هَأَنَذَا قَدْ عَصَيْتُ عَلَى سَيِّدِي وَقَتَلْتُهُ، وَلَكِنْ مَنْ قَتَلَ كُلَّ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ ٩ 9
In the morning Jehu went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are innocent. See, I plotted against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?
فَٱعْلَمُوا ٱلْآنَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَسْقُطُ مِنْ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ، وَقَدْ فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ إِيلِيَّا». ١٠ 10
Now you should certainly realize that no part of Yahweh's word, the word that he spoke concerning the family of Ahab, will fall to the ground, for Yahweh has done what he spoke about through his servant Elijah.”
وَقَتَلَ يَاهُو كُلَّ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا لِبَيْتِ أَخْآبَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ وَكُلَّ عُظَمَائِهِ وَمَعَارِفِهِ وَكَهَنَتِهِ، حَتَّى لَمْ يُبْقِ لَهُ شَارِدًا. ١١ 11
So Jehu killed all who remained in the family of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his important men, his close friends, and his priests, until none of them remained.
ثُمَّ قَامَ وَجَاءَ سَائِرًا إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. وَإِذْ كَانَ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ عَقْدِ ٱلرُّعَاةِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، ١٢ 12
Then Jehu arose and left; he went to Samaria. As he was arriving at Beth Eked of the shepherd,
صَادَفَ يَاهُو إِخْوَةَ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟» فَقَالُوا: «نَحْنُ إِخْوَةُ أَخَزْيَا، وَنَحْنُ نَازِلُونَ لِنُسَلِّمَ عَلَى بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ وَبَنِي ٱلْمَلِكَةِ». ١٣ 13
he met brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah. Jehu said to them, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of Queen Jezebel.”
فَقَالَ: «أَمْسِكُوهُمْ أَحْيَاءً». فَأَمْسَكُوهُمْ أَحْيَاءً وَقَتَلُوهُمْ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ بَيْتِ عَقْدٍ، ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا وَلَمْ يُبْقِ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا. ١٤ 14
Jehu said to his own men, “Take them alive.” So they took them alive and killed them at the well of Beth Eked, all forty-two men. He did not leave any of them alive.
ثُمَّ ٱنْطَلَقَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ فَصَادَفَ يَهُونَادَابَ بْنَ رَكَابٍ يُلَاقِيهِ، فَبَارَكَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَلْ قَلْبُكَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ نَظِيرُ قَلْبِي مَعَ قَلْبِكَ؟» فَقَالَ يَهُونَادَابُ: «نَعَمْ وَنَعَمْ».«هَاتِ يَدَكَ». فَأَعْطَاهُ يَدَهُ، فَأَصْعَدَهُ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ. ١٥ 15
When Jehu had left there, he met Jehonadab son of Recab coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said to him, “Is your heart with me, as my heart is with yours?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, give me your hand.” So he gave Jehu his hand, and Jehu took Jehonadab up with him into the chariot.
وَقَالَ: «هَلُمَّ مَعِي وَٱنْظُرْ غَيْرَتِي لِلرَّبِّ». وَأَرْكَبَهُ مَعَهُ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ. ١٦ 16
Jehu said, “Come with me and see my zeal for Yahweh.” So he had Jonadab ride along with him in his chariot.
وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَقَتَلَ جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا لِأَخْآبَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ حَتَّى أَفْنَاهُ، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ بِهِ إِيلِيَّا. ١٧ 17
When he came to Samaria, Jehu killed all who remained from Ahab's descendants in Samaria, until he had destroyed Ahab's royal line, just as was told them before by the word of Yahweh, which he had spoken to Elijah.
ثُمَّ جَمَعَ يَاهُو كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّ أَخْآبَ قَدْ عَبَدَ ٱلْبَعْلَ قَلِيلًا، وَأَمَّا يَاهُو فَإِنَّهُ يَعْبُدُهُ كَثِيرًا. ١٨ 18
Then Jehu gathered all the people together and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.
وَٱلْآنَ فَٱدْعُوا إِلَيَّ جَمِيعَ أَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلْبَعْلِ وَكُلَّ عَابِدِيهِ وَكُلَّ كَهَنَتِهِ. لَا يُفْقَدْ أَحَدٌ، لِأَنَّ لِي ذَبِيحَةً عَظِيمَةً لِلْبَعْلِ. كُلُّ مَنْ فُقِدَ لَا يَعِيشُ». وَقَدْ فَعَلَ يَاهُو بِمَكْرٍ لِكَيْ يُفْنِيَ عَبَدَةَ ٱلْبَعْلِ. ١٩ 19
Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers, and all his priests. Let no one be left out, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal. Whoever does not come will not live.” But Jehu did this deceitfully, with the intent to kill the worshipers of Baal.
وَقَالَ يَاهُو: «قَدِّسُوا ٱعْتِكَافًا لِلْبَعْلِ». فَنَادَوْا بِهِ. ٢٠ 20
Jehu said, “Set a time to have an assembly for Baal.” So they announced it.
وَأَرْسَلَ يَاهُو فِي كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَتَى جَمِيعُ عَبَدَةِ ٱلْبَعْلِ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَتَى، وَدَخَلُوا بَيْتَ ٱلْبَعْلِ، فَٱمْتَلَأَ بَيْتُ ٱلْبَعْلِ مِنْ جَانِبٍ إِلَى جَانِبٍ. ٢١ 21
Then Jehu sent throughout all Israel and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. They came into the temple of Baal, and it was filled from one end to another.
فَقَالَ لِلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْمَلَابِسِ: «أَخْرِجْ مَلَابِسَ لِكُلِّ عَبَدَةِ ٱلْبَعْلِ». فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ مَلَابِسَ. ٢٢ 22
Jehu said to the man who kept the priest's wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshipers of Baal.” So the man brought out robes to them.
وَدَخَلَ يَاهُو وَيَهُونَادَابُ بْنُ رَكَابٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ. فَقَالَ لِعَبَدَةِ ٱلْبَعْلِ: «فَتِّشُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ مَعَكُمْ هَهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ عَبِيدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنَّ عَبَدَةَ ٱلْبَعْلِ وَحْدَهُمْ». ٢٣ 23
So Jehu went with Jehonadab son of Recab into the house of Baal, and he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search and make sure that there is no one here with you from the servants of Yahweh, but the worshipers of Baal alone.”
وَدَخَلُوا لِيُقَرِّبُوا ذَبَائِحَ وَمُحْرَقَاتٍ. وَأَمَّا يَاهُو فَأَقَامَ خَارِجًا ثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا وَقَالَ: «ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَنْجُو مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَتَيْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ تَكُونُ أَنْفُسُكُمْ بَدَلَ نَفْسِهِ». ٢٤ 24
Then they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had chosen eighty men who were standing outside, and he told them, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escapes, whoever lets that man escape, his life will be taken for the life of the one who escaped.”
وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَوْا مِنْ تَقْرِيبِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ قَالَ يَاهُو لِلسُّعَاةِ وَٱلثَّوَالِثِ: «ٱدْخُلُوا ٱضْرِبُوهُمْ. لَا يَخْرُجْ أَحَدٌ». فَضَرَبُوهُمْ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَطَرَحَهُمُ ٱلسُّعَاةُ وَٱلثَّوَالِثُ. وَسَارُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ، ٢٥ 25
So then as soon as Jehu finished offering the burnt offering, he said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them. Let no one come out.” So they killed them with the edge of the sword, and the guard and the captains threw them out and went into the inner room of the house of Baal.
وَأَخْرَجُوا تَمَاثِيلَ بَيْتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا، ٢٦ 26
They dragged out the stone pillars that were in the house of Baal, and they burned them.
وَكَسَّرُوا تِمْثَالَ ٱلْبَعْلِ، وَهَدَمُوا بَيْتَ ٱلْبَعْلِ، وَجَعَلُوهُ مَزْبَلَةً إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٢٧ 27
Then they broke down the pillar of Baal, and destroyed the house of Baal and made it a latrine, which it is to this day.
وَٱسْتَأْصَلَ يَاهُو ٱلْبَعْلَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٨ 28
That is how Jehu destroyed Baal worship from Israel.
وَلَكِنَّ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ لَمْ يَحِدْ يَاهُو عَنْهَا، أَيْ عُجُولِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَٱلَّتِي فِي دَانَ. ٢٩ 29
But Jehu did not leave the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he made Israel sin—that is, the worship of the golden calves in Bethel and Dan.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَاهُو: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ بِعَمَلِ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَحَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا بِقَلْبِي فَعَلْتَ بِبَيْتِ أَخْآبَ، فَأَبْنَاؤُكَ إِلَى ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلرَّابِعِ يَجْلِسُونَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٣٠ 30
So Yahweh said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing what was right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
وَلَكِنْ يَاهُو لَمْ يَتَحَفَّظْ لِلسُّلُوكِ فِي شَرِيعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِهِ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ. ٣١ 31
But Jehu took no care to walk in the law of Yahweh, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, by which he made Israel sin.
فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱبْتَدَأَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَقُصُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَضَرَبَهُمْ حَزَائِيلُ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٣٢ 32
In those days Yahweh began to cut off regions from Israel, and Hazael defeated the Israelites at the borders of Israel,
مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ لِجِهَةِ مَشْرِقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ، جَمِيعَ أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ ٱلْجَادِيِّينَ وَٱلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْمَنَسِّيِّينَ، مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَجِلْعَادَ وَبَاشَانَ. ٣٣ 33
from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the Valley of the Arnon, through Gilead to Bashan.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَاهُو وَكُلُّ مَا عَمَلَ وَكُلُّ جَبَرُوتِهِ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ ٣٤ 34
As for the other matters concerning Jehu, and all that he did, and all his power, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
وَٱضْطَجَعَ يَاهُو مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَمَلَكَ يَهُوأَحَازُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ٣٥ 35
Jehu slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria. Then Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.
وَكَانَتِ ٱلْأَيَّامُ ٱلَّتِي مَلَكَ فِيهَا يَاهُو عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ ثَمَانِيًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. ٣٦ 36
The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
