¹وكان كلام الرب الى ياهو بن حناني على بعشا قائلا

¹The word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

²من اجل اني قد رفعتك من التراب وجعلتك رئيسا على شعبي اسرائيل فسرت في طريق يربعام وجعلت شعبي اسرائيل يخطئون ويغيظونني بخطاياهم

²“Because I exalted you out of the dust, and made you prince over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;

³هانذا انزع نسل بعشا ونسل بيته واجعل بيتك كبيت يربعام بن نباط.

³behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

⁴فمن مات لبعشا في المدينة تأكله الكلاب ومن مات له في الحقل تاكله طيور السماء.

⁴The dogs will eat Baasha’s descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field the birds of the sky will eat.”

⁵وبقية امور بعشا وما عمل وجبروته أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل.

⁵Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

⁶واضطجع بعشا مع آبائه ودفن في ترصة وملك ايلة ابنه عوضا عنه.

⁶Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.

⁷وايضا عن يد ياهو بن حناني النبي كان كلام الرب على بعشا وعلى بيته وعلى كل الشر الذي عمله في عيني الرب باغاظته اياه بعمل يديه وكونه كبيت يربعام ولاجل قتله اياه

⁷Moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of Yahweh against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.

⁸وفي السنة السادسة والعشرين لآسا ملك يهوذا ملك ايلة بن بعشا على اسرائيل في ترصة سنتين.

⁸In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years.

⁹ففتن عليه عبده زمري رئيس نصف المركبات وهو في ترصة يشرب ويسكر في بيت أرصا الذي على البيت في ترصة.

⁹His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah:

¹⁰فدخل زمري وضربه فقتله في السنة السابعة والعشرين لآسا ملك يهوذا وملك عوضا عنه.

¹⁰and Zimri went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

¹¹وعند تملكه وجلوسه على كرسيه ضرب كل بيت بعشا. لم يبق له بائلا بحائط. مع اوليائه واصحابه.

¹¹It happened, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he struck all the house of Baasha: he didn’t leave him a single one who urinates on a wall, or, male neither of his relatives, nor of his friends.

¹²فأفنى زمري كل بيت بعشا حسب كلام الرب الذي تكلم به على بعشا عن يد ياهو النبي

¹²Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

¹³لاجل كل خطايا بعشا وخطايا ايلة ابنه التي اخطأا بها وجعلا اسرائيل يخطئ لاغاظة الرب اله اسرائيل باباطيلهم.

¹³for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

¹⁴وبقية امور ايلة وكل ما فعل أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل

¹⁴Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁵في السنة السابعة والعشرين لآسا ملك يهوذا ملك زمري سبعة ايام في ترصة. وكان الشعب نازلا على جبّثون التي للفلسطينيين.

¹⁵In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

¹⁶فسمع الشعب النازلون من يقول قد فتن زمري وقتل ايضا الملك. فملّك كل اسرائيل عمري رئيس الجيش على اسرائيل في ذلك اليوم في المحلّة.

¹⁶The people who were encamped heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has also struck the king: therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

¹⁷وصعد عمري وكل اسرائيل معه من جبّثون وحاصروا ترصة.

¹⁷Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

¹⁸ولما رأى زمري ان المدينة قد أخذت دخل الى قصر بيت الملك واحرق على نفسه بيت الملك بالنار فمات

¹⁸It happened, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died,

¹⁹من اجل خطاياه التي اخطأ بها بعمله الشر في عيني الرب وسيره في طريق يربعام ومن اجل خطيته التي عمل بجعله اسرائيل يخطئ.

¹⁹for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.

²⁰وبقية امور زمري وفتنته التي فتنها أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل.

²⁰Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

²¹حينئذ انقسم شعب اسرائيل نصفين فنصف الشعب كان وراء تبني بن جينة لتمليكه ونصفه وراء عمري.

²¹Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.

²²وقوي الشعب الذي وراء عمري على الشعب الذي وراء تبني بن جينة فمات تبني وملك عمري

²²But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

²³في السنة الواحدة والثلاثين لآسا ملك يهوذا ملك عمري على اسرائيل اثنتي عشرة سنة. ملك في ترصة ست سنين.

²³In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah.

²⁴واشترى جبل السامرة من شامر بوزنتين من الفضة وبنى على الجبل ودعا اسم المدينة التي بناها باسم شامر صاحب الجبل السامرة.

²⁴He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.

²⁵وعمل عمري الشر في عيني الرب واساء اكثر من جميع الذين قبله

²⁵Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.

²⁶وسار في جميع طريق يربعام بن نباط وفي خطيته التي جعل بها اسرائيل يخطئ لاغاظة الرب اله اسرائيل باباطيلهم.

²⁶For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

²⁷وبقية أمور عمري التي عمل وجبروته الذي ابدى أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل.

²⁷Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

²⁸واضطجع عمري مع آبائه ودفن في السامرة وملك اخآب ابنه عوضا عنه

²⁸So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.

²⁹واخآب بن عمري ملك على اسرائيل في السنة الثامنة والثلاثين لآسا ملك يهوذا وملك اخآب بن عمري على اسرائيل في السامرة اثنتين وعشرين سنة.

²⁹In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

³⁰وعمل اخآب بن عمري الشر في عيني الرب اكثر من جميع الذين قبله.

³⁰Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh above all that were before him.

³¹وكأنه كان امرا زهيدا سلوكه في خطايا يربعام بن نباط حتى اتخذ ايزابل ابنة اثبعل ملك الصيدونيين امرأة وسار وعبد البعل وسجد له.

³¹It happened, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

³²واقام مذبحا للبعل في بيت البعل الذي بناه في السامرة.

³²He reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

³³وعمل اخآب سواري وزاد اخآب في العمل لاغاظة الرب اله اسرائيل اكثر من جميع ملوك اسرائيل الذين كانوا قبله.

³³Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

³⁴في ايامه بنى حيئيل البيتئيلي اريحا. بابيرام بكره وضع اساسها وبسجوب صغيره نصب ابوابها حسب كلام الرب الذي تكلم به عن يد يشوع بن نون

³⁴In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho: he laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
