¹And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.

¹واذا برجل الله قد أتى من يهوذا بكلام الرب الى بيت ايل ويربعام واقف لدى المذبح لكي يوقد.

²And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.

²فنادى نحو المذبح بكلام الرب وقال يا مذبح يا مذبح هكذا قال الرب هوذا سيولد لبيت داود ابن اسمه يوشيا ويذبح عليك كهنة المترفعات الذين يوقدون عليك وتحرق عليك عظام الناس.

³And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.

³واعطى في ذلك اليوم علامة قائلا هذه هي العلامة التي تكلم بها الرب هوذا المذبح ينشق ويذرى الرماد الذي عليه.

⁴And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.

⁴فلما سمع الملك كلام رجل الله الذي نادى نحو المذبح في بيت ايل مدّ يربعام يده عن المذبح قائلا امسكوه. فيبست يده التي مدّها نحوه ولم يستطع ان يردّها اليه.

⁵The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.

⁵وانشقّ المذبح وذري الرماد من على المذبح حسب العلامة التي اعطاها رجل الله بكلام الرب

⁶And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

⁶فاجاب الملك وقال لرجل الله تضرّع الى وجه الرب الهك وصلّ من اجلي فترجع يدي اليّ. فتضرع رجل الله الى وجه الرب فرجعت يد الملك اليه وكانت كما في الاول.

⁷And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

⁷ثم قال الملك لرجل الله ادخل معي الى البيت وتقوّت فاعطيك اجرة.

⁸And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:

⁸فقال رجل الله للملك لو اعطيتني نصف بيتك لا ادخل معك ولا آكل خبزا ولا اشرب ماء في هذا الموضع.

⁹For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.

⁹لاني هكذا أوصيت بكلام الرب قائلا لا تاكل خبزا ولا تشرب ماء ولا ترجع في الطريق الذي ذهبت فيه.

¹⁰So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.

¹⁰فذهب في طريق آخر ولم يرجع في الطريق الذي جاء فيه الى بيت ايل

¹¹Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.

¹¹وكان نبي شيخ ساكنا في بيت ايل. فاتى بنوه وقصوا عليه كل العمل الذي عمله رجل الله ذلك اليوم في بيت ايل وقصوا على ابيهم الكلام الذي تكلم به الى الملك.

¹²And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.

¹²فقال لهم ابوهم من اي طريق ذهب. وكان بنوه قد رأوا الطريق الذي سار فيه رجل الله الذي جاء من يهوذا.

¹³And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,

¹³فقال لبنيه شدّوا لي على الحمار. فشدوا له على الحمار فركب عليه

¹⁴And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.

¹⁴وسار وراء رجل الله فوجده جالسا تحت البلوطة فقال له أأنت رجل الله الذي جاء من يهوذا. فقال انا هو.

¹⁵Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

¹⁵فقال له سر معي الى البيت وكل خبزا.

¹⁶And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:

¹⁶فقال لا اقدر ان ارجع معك ولا ادخل معك ولا آكل خبزا ولا اشرب معك ماء في هذا الموضع.

¹⁷For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.

¹⁷لانه قيل لي بكلام الرب لا تاكل خبزا ولا تشرب هناك ماء ولا ترجع سائرا في الطريق الذي ذهبت فيه.

¹⁸He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.

¹⁸فقال له انا ايضا نبي مثلك وقد كلمني ملاك بكلام الرب قائلا ارجع به معك الى بيتك فياكل خبزا ويشرب ماء. كذب عليه.

¹⁹So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.

¹⁹فرجع معه وأكل خبزا في بيته وشرب ماء

²⁰And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:

²⁰وبينما هما جالسان على المائدة كان كلام الرب الى النبي الذي ارجعه

²¹And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,

²¹فصاح الى رجل الله الذي جاء من يهوذا قائلا هكذا قال الرب. من اجل انك خالفت قول الرب ولم تحفظ الوصية التي اوصاك بها الرب الهك

²²But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcass shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

²²فرجعت وأكلت خبزا وشربت ماء في الموضع الذي قال لك لا تأكل فيه خبزا ولا تشرب ماء لا تدخل جثتك قبر آبائك.

²³And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.

²³ثم بعدما اكل خبزا وبعد ان شرب شدّ له على الحمار اي للنبي الذي ارجعه

²⁴And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcass.

²⁴وانطلق. فصادفه اسد في الطريق وقتله وكانت جثته مطروحة في الطريق والحمار واقف بجانبها والاسد واقف بجانب الجثّة.

²⁵And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcass: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.

²⁵واذا بقوم يعبرون فرأوا الجثّة مطروحة في الطريق والاسد واقف بجانب الجثّة. فأتوا واخبروا في المدينة التي كان النبي الشيخ ساكنا بها.

²⁶And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.

²⁶ولما سمع النبي الذي ارجعه عن الطريق قال هو رجل الله الذي خالف قول الرب فدفعه الرب للاسد فافترسه وقتله حسب كلام الرب الذي كلمه به.

²⁷And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.

²⁷وكلم بنيه قائلا شدّوا لي على الحمار. فشدّوا

²⁸And he went and found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten the carcass, nor torn the ass.

²⁸فذهب ووجد جثّته مطروحة في الطريق والحمار والاسد واقفين بجانب الجثّة ولم يأكل الاسد الجثّة ولا افترس الحمار.

²⁹And the prophet took up the carcass of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.

²⁹فرفع النبي جثّة رجل الله ووضعها على الحمار ورجع بها ودخل النبي الشيخ المدينة ليندبه ويدفنه

³⁰And he laid his carcass in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!

³⁰فوضع جثته في قبره وناحوا عليه قائلين آه يا اخي.

³¹And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:

³¹وبعد دفنه اياه كلم بنيه قائلا عند وفاتي ادفنوني في القبر الذي دفن فيه رجل الله. بجانب عظامه ضعوا عظامي.

³²For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.

³²لانه تماما سيتم الكلام الذي نادى به بكلام الرب نحو المذبح الذي في بيت ايل ونحو جميع بيوت المرتفعات التي في مدن السامرة.

³³After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

³³بعد هذا الامر لم يرجع يربعام عن طريقه الردية بل عاد فعمل من اطراف الشعب كهنة مرتفعات. من شاء ملأ يده فصار من كهنة المرتفعات.

³⁴And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.

³⁴وكان من هذا الأمر خطية لبيت يربعام وكان لابادته وخرابه عن وجه الارض
