2 مُلُوك 6
| وَقَالَ بَنُو الأَنْبِيَاءِ لأَلِيشَعَ: «ضَاقَ بِنَا الْمَكَانُ الَّذِي نَحْنُ مَاكِثُونَ فِيهِ للاجْتِمَاعِ بِكَ. | ١ 1 |
The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.
| فَاسْمَحْ لَنَا أَنْ نَذْهَبَ إِلَى الأُرْدُنِّ فَيَقْطَعَ كُلٌّ مِنَّا بَعْضَ الأَخْشَابِ لِنَبْنِيَ مَكَاناً أَرْحَبَ نُقِيمُ فِيهِ». فَقَالَ: «اذْهَبُوا». | ٢ 2 |
Please let us go to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell." He answered, "Go."
| وَقَالَ لَهُ أَحَدُهُمْ: «أَلا تَتَكَرَّمُ بِالذِّهَابِ مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ؟» فَقَبِلَ. | ٣ 3 |
One said, "Please be pleased to go with your servants." He answered, "I will go."
| وَمَضَى مَعَهُمْ. وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلُوا إِلَى نَهْرِ الأُردُنِّ شَرَعُوا فِي قَطْعِ الْخَشَبِ. | ٤ 4 |
So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ يَقْطَعُ خَشَبَةً سَقَطَ رَأْسُ فَأْسِهِ الْحَدِيدِيُّ فِي الْمَاءِ، فَاسْتَغَاثَ بِأَلِيشَعَ قَائِلاً: «آهِ يَا سَيِّدِي، إنِّي اسْتَعَرْتُهُ». | ٥ 5 |
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water. Then he cried, and said, "Alas, my master. For it was borrowed."
| فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلُ اللهِ: «أَيْنَ سَقَطَ؟» فَأَشَارَ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ. فَقَطَعَ أَلِيشَعُ عُودَ حَطَبٍ أَلْقَاهُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَطَفَا رَأْسُ الْفَأْسِ، فَقَالَ: «الْتَقِطْهُ». | ٦ 6 |
The man of God asked, "Where did it fall?" He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
| فَمَدَّ الرَّجُلُ يَدَهُ وَالْتَقَطَهُ. | ٧ 7 |
He said, "Take it." So he put out his hand and took it.
| وَحَارَبَ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَبَعْدَ التَّدَاوُلِ مَعَ ضُبَّاطِهِ قَالَ: «سَأُعَسْكِرُ فِي مَوْضِعِ كَذَا (لأَتَرَبَّصَ بِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ)». | ٨ 8 |
Now the king of Aram was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, "My camp will be in such and such a place."
| فَبَعَثَ رَجُلُ اللهِ إِلَى مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «احْذَرْ الاجْتِيَازَ فِي مَوْضِعِ كَذَا، لأَنَّ الأَرَامِيِّينَ مُتَرَبِّصُونَ بِكَ فِيهِ». | ٩ 9 |
The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, "Beware that you not pass such a place; for the Arameans are coming down there."
| فَأَرْسَلَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُرَاقِبِيهِ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْهُ رَجُلُ اللهِ وَحَذَّرَهُ مِنْهُ، فَتَأَكَّدَ مِنْ صِحَّةِ النَّبَأِ. وَتَكَرَّرَتْ تَحْذِيرَاتُ أَلِيشَعَ لِلْمَلِكِ مَرَّاتٍ عَدِيدَةً، فَكَانَ الْمَلِكُ يَتَحَفَّظُ دَائِماً لِنَفْسِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
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.
| فَانْزَعَجَ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ مِنْ هَذَا الأَمْرِ، وَجَمَعَ ضُبَّاطَهُ وَسَأَلَهُمْ: «أَلا تُخْبِرُونَنِي مَنْ مِنْكُمْ مُتَآمِرٌ مَعَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» | ١١ 11 |
The heart of the king of Aram was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, "Won't you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?"
| فَأَجَابَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ ضُبَّاطِهِ: «لا يُوْجَدُ مَنْ يَتَآمَرُ عَلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ، وَلَكِنَّ النَّبِيَّ أَلِيشَعَ الْمُقِيمَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُبَلِّغُ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى بِالأُمُورِ الَّتِي تَهْمِسُ بِها فِي مُخْدَعِ نَوْمِكَ». | ١٢ 12 |
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 you speak in your bedroom."
| فَقَالَ: «اذْهَبُوا وَابْحَثُوا لِي عَنْ مَكَانِ إِقَامَتِهِ، فَأُرْسِلَ مَنْ يَعْتَقِلُهُ». فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ فِي دُوثَانَ. | ١٣ 13 |
He said, "Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him." It was told him, saying, "Look, he is in Dothan."
| فَوَجَّهَ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ جَيْشاً كَبِيراً مُجَهَّزاً بِخُيُولٍ وَمَرْكَبَاتٍ، وَحَاصَرَ الْمَدِينَةَ لَيْلاً. | ١٤ 14 |
Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city.
| فَنَهَضَ خَادِمُ رَجُلِ اللهِ مُبَكِّراً وَخَرَجَ، وَإذَا بِهِ يَجِدُ جَيْشاً مُجَهَّزاً بِخُيُولٍ وَمَرْكَبَاتٍ يُحَاصِرُ الْمَدِينَةَ. فَقَالَ الْخَادِمُ: «آهِ يَا سَيِّدِي، مَا الْعَمَلُ؟» | ١٥ 15 |
When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, look, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, "Alas, my master. What shall we do?"
| فَأَجَابَهُ أَلِيشَعُ: «لا تَخَفْ لأَنَّ الَّذِينَ مَعَنَا أَكْثَرُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُمْ». | ١٦ 16 |
He answered, "Do not be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
| وَتَضَرَّعَ أَلِيشَعُ قَائِلاً: «يَا رَبُّ، افْتَحْ عَيْنَيْهِ فَيُبْصِرَ». فَفَتَحَ الرَّبُّ عَيْنَيِ الْخَادِمِ، وَإذَا بِهِ يُشَاهِدُ الْجَبَلَ يَكْتَظُّ بِخَيْلٍ وَمَرْكَبَاتِ نَارٍ تُحِيطُ بِأَلِيشَعَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Then Elisha prayed and said, "YHWH, please open his eyes, that he may see." YHWH opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and look, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
| وَعِنْدَمَا تَقَدَّمَ جَيْشُ أَرَامَ نَحْوَ أَلِيشَعَ صَلَّى إِلَى الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «أَصِبْ هَذَا الْجَيْشَ بِالْعَمَى». فَضَرَبَهُمُ الرَّبُّ بِالْعَمَى اسْتِجَابَةً لِدُعَاءِ أَلِيشَعَ. | ١٨ 18 |
When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to YHWH, and said, "Please strike this people with blindness." He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَلِيشَعُ: «لَقَدْ ضَلَلْتُمْ طَرِيقَكُمْ فَأَخْطَأْتُمْ مُحَاصَرَةَ الْمَدِينَةِ الْمَطْلُوبَةِ. اتْبَعُونِي فَأُرْشِدَكُمْ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي تَبْحَثُونَ عَنْهُ». فَقَادَهُمْ إِلَى السَّامِرَةِ. | ١٩ 19 |
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 you seek." He led them to Samaria.
| فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحُوا دَاخِلَ السَّامِرَةِ صَلَّى أَلِيشَعُ قَائِلاً: «يَا رَبُّ افْتَحْ عُيُونَهُمْ فَيُبْصِرُوا». فَفَتَحَ الرَّبُّ عُيُونَهُمْ، وَإذَا بِهِمْ يَجِدُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِي وَسَطِ السَّامِرَةِ! | ٢٠ 20 |
It happened, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, "YHWH, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." YHWH opened their eyes, and they saw; and look, they were in the midst of Samaria.
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَهُمْ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ سَأَلَ أَلِيشَعَ: «هَلْ أَقْتُلُهُمْ، هَلْ أَقْتُلُهُمْ يَا أَبِي؟» | ٢١ 21 |
The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, "My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?"
| فَأَجَابَهُ: «لا تَقْتُلْ أَحَداً. إِنَّمَا اقْتُلِ الَّذِينَ تَسْبِيهِمْ بِسَيْفِكَ وَقَوْسِكَ. أَمَّا هَؤُلاءِ فَقَدِّمْ لَهُمْ طَعَاماً وَمَاءً فَيَأْكُلُوا وَيَشْرَبُوا ثُمَّ يَنْطَلِقُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِهِمْ». | ٢٢ 22 |
He answered, "You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master."
| فَأَقَامَ لَهُمُ الْمَلِكُ مَأْدُبَةً عَظِيمَةً، فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا، ثُمَّ أَطْلَقَهُمْ، فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِهِمْ. وَتَوَقَّفَتْ جُيُوشُ أَرَامَ عَنْ غَزْوِ أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَتْرَةً. | ٢٣ 23 |
He prepared great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The bands of Aram stopped raiding the land of Israel.
| وَحَشَدَ بَنْهَدَدُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ، بَعْدَ زَمَنٍ، كُلَّ جَيْشِهِ وَحَاصَرَ السَّامِرَةَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
It happened after this, that Benhadad king of Aram gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
| وَإِذْ طَالَ الْحِصَارُ، عَمَّتِ الْمَجَاعَةُ السَّامِرَةَ حَتَّى صَارَ رَأْسُ الْحِمَارِ يُبَاعُ بِثَمَانِينَ قِطْعَةً مِنْ الْفِضَّةِ، وَأُوقِيَةُ زِبْلِ الْحَمَامِ بِخَمْسِ قِطَعٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
There was a great famine in Samaria. Look, 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.
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَتَفَقَّدُ سُورَ الْمَدِينَةِ اسْتَغَاثَتْ بِهِ امْرَأَةٌ قَائِلَةً: «أَغِثْ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ». | ٢٦ 26 |
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, "Help, my lord, O king."
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «إِنْ لَمْ يُغِثْكِ الرَّبُّ، فَمِنْ أَيْنَ يُمْكِنُنِي أَنْ أَحْصُلَ لَكِ عَلَى الْغَوْثِ؟ أَمِنْ قَمْحِ الْبَيْدَرِ أَمْ مِنْ نَبِيذِ الْمِعْصَرَةِ؟» | ٢٧ 27 |
He said, "If YHWH doesn't help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?"
| ثُمَّ سَأَلَهَا الْمَلِكُ: «مَالَكِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «لَقَدْ قَالَتْ لِي هَذِهِ الْمرْأَةُ، هَاتِي ابْنَكِ فَنَأْكُلَهُ الْيَوْمَ، ثُمَّ نَأْكُلَ ابْنِي فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي. | ٢٨ 28 |
The king said to her, "What ails you?" She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'
| فَسَلَقْنَا ابْنِي وَأَكَلْنَاهُ. وَعِنْدَمَا قُلْتُ لَهَا فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي: هَاتِي ابْنَكِ لِنَأْكُلَهُ، خَبَّأَتِ ابْنَهَا». | ٢٩ 29 |
So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, 'Give your son, that we may eat him;' and she has hidden her son."
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ حَدِيثَ الْمَرْأَةِ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَهُوَ يَتَفَقَّدُ السُّورَ، فَرَأَى الْمُحِيطُونَ بِهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرْتَدِي مُسُوحاً فَوْقَ جَسَدِهِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
It happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked and saw that he had sackcloth against his skin.
| وَقَالَ: «لِيُعَاقِبْنِي الرَّبُّ أَشَدَّ عِقَابٍ وَيَزِدْ، إِنْ لَمْ أَقْطَعْ رَأْسَ أَلِيشَعَ بْنِ شَافَاطَ الْيَوْمَ». | ٣١ 31 |
Then he said, "God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stay on him this day."
| وَكَانَ أَلِيشَعُ آنَئِذٍ مُجْتَمِعاً فِي بَيْتِهِ مَعَ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَوَجَّهَ الْمَلِكُ رَسُولاً إِلَيْهِ يَتَقَدَّمُهُ. وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِلَ الرَّسُولُ قَالَ أَلِيشَعُ لِلشُّيُوخِ: «أَرَأَيْتُمْ كَيْفَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْقَاتِلَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولاً لِيَقْطَعَ رَأْسِي؟ فَحَالَمَا يَأْتِي الرَّسُولُ أَغْلِقُوا الْبَابَ وَاتْرُكُوهُ مُوْصَداً فِي وَجْهِهِ. فَإِنَّ وَقْعَ خَطْوَاتِ سَيِّدِهِ يَتَجَاوَبُ وَرَاءَهُ» | ٣٢ 32 |
But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you 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 shut against him. Isn't the sound of his master's feet behind him?"
| وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُخَاطِبُهُمْ أَقْبَلَ الرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِ، وَتَبِعَهُ الْمَلِكُ الَّذِي قَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذَا الشَّرَّ قَدْ حَلَّ بِنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ، فَأَيَّ شَيْءٍ أَتَوَقَّعُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ بَعْدُ؟» | ٣٣ 33 |
While he was still talking with them, look, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, "Look, this disaster is from YHWH. Why should I wait for YHWH any longer?"
