1وحدث بعد هذه الامور انه كان لنابوت اليزرعيلي كرم في يزرعيل بجانب قصر اخآب ملك السامرة.
1It happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2فكلم اخآب نابوت قائلا اعطني كرمك فيكون لي بستان بقول لانه قريب بجانب بيتي فاعطيك عوضه كرما احسن منه او اذا حسن في عينيك اعطيتك ثمنه فضة.
2Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
3فقال نابوت لاخآب حاشا لي من قبل الرب ان اعطيك ميراث آبائي.
3Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
4فدخل اخآب بيته مكتئبا مغموما من اجل الكلام الذي كلمه به نابوت اليزرعيلي قائلا لا اعطيك ميراث آبائي. واضطجع على سريره وحوّل وجهه ولم ياكل خبزا.
4Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5فدخلت اليه ايزابل امرأته وقالت له لماذا روحك مكتئبة ولا تأكل خبزا.
5But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?”
6فقال لها لاني كلمت نابوت اليزرعيلي وقلت له اعطيني كرمك بفضة واذا شئت اعطيتك كرما عوضه فقال لا اعطيك كرمي.
6He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
7فقالت له ايزابل أأنت الآن تحكم على اسرائيل. قم كل خبزا وليطب قلبك. انا اعطيك كرم نابوت اليزرعيلي.
7Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
8ثم كتبت رسائل باسم اخآب وختمتها بخاتمه وارسلت الرسائل الى الشيوخ والاشراف الذين في مدينته الساكنين مع نابوت.
8So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
9وكتبت في الرسائل تقول. نادوا بصوم واجلسوا نابوت في راس الشعب.
9She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
10واجلسوا رجلين من بني بليعال تجاهه ليشهدا قائلين قد جدّفت على الله وعلى الملك. ثم اخرجوه وارجموه فيموت.
10Set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”
11ففعل رجال مدينته الشيوخ والاشراف الساكنون في مدينته كما ارسلت اليهم ايزابل كما هو مكتوب في الرسائل التي ارسلتها اليهم.
11The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
12فنادوا بصوم واجلسوا نابوت في راس الشعب.
12They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13وأتى رجلان من بني بليعال وجلسا تجاهه وشهد رجلا بليعال على نابوت امام الشعب قائلين قد جدف نابوت على الله وعلى الملك. فاخرجوه خارج المدينة ورجموه بحجارة فمات.
13The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.
14وارسلوا الى ايزابل يقولون قد رجم نابوت ومات.
14Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and is dead.”
15ولما سمعت ايزابل ان نابوت قد رجم ومات قالت ايزابل لاخآب قم رث كرم نابوت اليزرعيلي الذي ابى ان يعطيك اياه بفضة لان نابوت ليس حيّا بل هو ميت.
15It happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
16ولما سمع اخآب ان نابوت قد مات قام اخآب لينزل الى كرم نابوت اليزرعيلي ليرثه
16It happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17فكان كلام الرب الى ايليا التشبي قائلا
17The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18قم انزل للقاء اخآب ملك اسرائيل الذي في السامرة. هوذا هو في كرم نابوت الذي نزل اليه ليرثه.
18“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
19وكلمه قائلا هكذا قال الرب هل قتلت وورثت ايضا. ثم كلمه قائلا هكذا قال الرب. في المكان الذي لحست فيه الكلاب دم نابوت تلحس الكلاب دمك انت ايضا.
19You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
20فقال اخآب لايليا هل وجدتني يا عدوي. فقال قد وجدتك لانك قد بعت نفسك لعمل الشر في عيني الرب.
20Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh.
21هانذا اجلب عليك شرا وابيد نسلك واقطع لاخآب كل بائل بحائط ومحجوز ومطلق في اسرائيل.
21Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, or, male and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
22واجعل بيتك كبيت يربعام بن نباط وكبيت بعشا بن اخيا لاجل الاغاظة التي اغظتني ولجعلك اسرائيل يخطئ.
22I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
23وتكلم الرب عن ايزابل ايضا قائلا ان الكلاب تاكل ايزابل عند مترسة يزرعيل.
23Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
24من مات لاخآب في المدينة تاكله الكلاب ومن مات في الحقل تاكله طيور السماء.
24The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”
25ولم يكن كاخآب الذي باع نفسه لعمل الشر في عيني الرب الذي اغوته ايزابل امرأته.
25But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26ورجس جدا بذهابه وراء الاصنام حسب كل ما فعل الاموريون الذين طردهم الرب من امام بني اسرائيل.
26He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
27ولما سمع اخآب هذا الكلام شقّ ثيابه وجعل مسحا على جسده وصام واضطجع بالمسح ومشى بسكوت.
27It happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28فكان كلام الرب الى ايليا التشبي قائلا
28The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29هل رأيت كيف اتضع اخآب امامي. فمن اجل انه قد اتضع امامي لا اجلب الشر في ايامه بل في ايام ابنه اجلب الشر على بيته
29“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil on his house.”
