1واقاموا ثلاث سنين بدون حرب بين ارام واسرائيل.
1They continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2وفي السنة الثالثة نزل يهوشافاط ملك يهوذا الى ملك اسرائيل.
2It happened in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3فقال ملك اسرائيل لعبيده أتعلمون ان راموت جلعاد لنا ونحن ساكتون عن اخذها من يد ملك ارام.
3The king of Israel said to his servants, “You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and we are still, and don’t take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?”
4وقال ليهوشافاط أتذهب معي للحرب الى راموت جلعاد. فقال يهوشافاط لملك اسرائيل مثلي مثلك. شعبي كشعبك وخيلي كخيلك.
4He said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
5ثم قال يهوشافاط لملك اسرائيل اسأل اليوم عن كلام الرب.
5Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of Yahweh.”
6فجمع ملك اسرائيل الانبياء نحو اربع مئة رجل وقال لهم. أأذهب الى راموت جلعاد للقتال ام امتنع. فقالوا اصعد فيدفعها السيد ليد الملك.
6Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” They said, “Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
7فقال يهوشافاط أما يوجد هنا بعد نبي للرب فنسأل منه.
7But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh, that we may inquire of him?”
8فقال ملك اسرائيل ليهوشافاط انه يوجد بعد رجل واحد لسؤال الرب به ولكني ابغضه لانه لا يتنبأ عليّ خيرا بل شرا وهو ميخا بن يملة. فقال يهوشافاط لا يقل الملك هكذا.
8The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
9فدعا ملك اسرائيل خصيا وقال اسرع اليّ بميخا بن يملة.
9Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Quickly get Micaiah the son of Imlah.”
10وكان ملك اسرائيل ويهوشافاط ملك يهوذا جالسين كل واحد على كرسيه لابسين ثيابهما في ساحة عند مدخل باب السامرة وجميع الانبياء يتنبأون امامهما.
10Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
11وعمل صدقيا بن كنعنة لنفسه قرني حديد وقال هكذا قال الرب بهذه تنطح الاراميين حتى يفنوا.
11Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
12وتنبأ جميع الانبياء هكذا قائلين اصعد الى راموت جلعاد وافلح فيدفعها الرب ليد الملك
12All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
13واما الرسول الذي ذهب ليدعو ميخا فكلمه قائلا هوذا كلام جميع الانبياء بفم واحد خير للملك. فليكن كلامك مثل كلام واحد منهم وتكلم بخير.
13The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “See now, the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak good.”
14فقال ميخا حيّ هو الرب ان ما يقوله لي الرب به اتكلم.
14Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, what Yahweh says to me, that I will speak.”
15ولما اتى الى الملك قال له الملك يا ميخا أنصعد الى راموت جلعاد للقتال ام نمتنع. فقال له اصعد وافلح فيدفعها الرب ليد الملك.
15When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear?” He answered him, “Go up and prosper; and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
16فقال له الملك كم مرة استحلفتك ان لا تقول لي الا الحق باسم الرب.
16The king said to him, “How many times do I have to adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
17فقال رأيت كل اسرائيل مشتّتين على الجبال كخراف لا راعي لها. فقال الرب ليس لهؤلاء اصحاب فليرجعوا كل واحد الى بيته بسلام.
17He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. Yahweh said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
18فقال ملك اسرائيل ليهوشافاط أما قلت لك انه لا يتنبأ عليّ خيرا بل شرا.
18The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
19وقال فاسمع اذا كلام الرب. قد رأيت الرب جالسا على كرسيه وكل جند السماء وقوف لديه عن يمينه وعن يساره.
19Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of Yahweh. I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20فقال الرب من يغوي اخآب فيصعد ويسقط في راموت جلعاد. فقال هذا هكذا وقال ذاك هكذا.
20Yahweh said, ‘Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One said one thing; and another said another.
21ثم خرج الروح ووقف امام الرب وقال انا اغويه. وقال له الرب بماذا.
21A spirit came out and stood before Yahweh, and said, ‘I will entice him.’
22فقال اخرج واكون روح كذب في افواه جميع انبيائه. فقال انك تغويه وتقتدر. فاخرج وافعل هكذا.
22Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’ He said, ‘I will go out and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ He said, ‘You will entice him, and will also prevail. Go out and do so.’
23والآن هوذا قد جعل الرب روح كذب في افواه جميع انبيائك هؤلاء والرب تكلم عليك بشر.
23Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.”
24فتقدم صدقيا بن كنعنة وضرب ميخا على الفكّ وقال من اين عبر روح الرب مني ليكلمك.
24Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh go from me to speak to you?”
25فقال ميخا انك سترى في ذلك اليوم الذي تدخل فيه من مخدع الى مخدع لتختبئ.
25Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
26فقال ملك اسرائيل خذ ميخا وردّه الى آمون رئيس المدينة والى يوآش ابن الملك
26The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son.
27وقل هكذا قال الملك ضعوا هذا في السجن واطعموه خبز الضيق وماء الضيق حتى آتي بسلام.
27Say, ‘Thus says the king, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.”’”
28فقال ميخا ان رجعت بسلام فلم يتكلم الرب بي. وقال اسمعوا ايها الشعب اجمعون
28Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, all you people!”
29فصعد ملك اسرائيل ويهوشافاط ملك يهوذا الى راموت جلعاد.
29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
30فقال ملك اسرائيل ليهوشافاط اني اتنكّر وادخل الحرب. واما انت فالبس ثيابك. فتنكّر ملك اسرائيل ودخل الحرب.
30The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes.” The king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
31وامر ملك ارام رؤساء المركبات التي له الاثنين والثلاثين وقال لا تحاربوا صغيرا ولا كبيرا الا ملك اسرائيل وحده.
31Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.
32فلما رأى رؤساء المركبات يهوشافاط قالوا انه ملك اسرائيل فمالوا عليه ليقاتلوه فصرخ يهوشافاط.
32It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, “Surely that is the king of Israel!” and they turned aside to fight against him. Jehoshaphat cried out.
33فلما رأى رؤساء المركبات انه ليس ملك اسرائيل رجعوا عنه.
33It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
34وان رجلا نزع في قوسه غير متعمد وضرب ملك اسرائيل بين اوصال الدرع. فقال لمدير مركبته رد يدك واخرجني من الجيش لاني قد جرحت.
34A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me out of the battle; for I am severely wounded.”
35واشتدّ القتال في ذلك اليوم وأوقف الملك في مركبته مقابل ارام ومات عند المساء وجرى دم الجرح الى حضن المركبة.
35The battle increased that day. The king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
36وعبرت الرنّة في الجند عند غروب الشمس قائلا كل رجل الى مدينته وكل رجل الى ارضه.
36A cry went throughout the army about the going down of the sun, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!”
37فمات الملك وأدخل السامرة فدفنوا الملك في السامرة.
37So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
38وغسلت المركبة في بركة السامرة فلحست الكلاب دمه. وغسلوا سلاحه. حسب كلام الرب الذي تكلم به.
38They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood where the prostitutes washed themselves; according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke.
39وبقية أمور اخآب وكل ما فعل وبيت العاج الذي بناه وكل المدن التي بناها أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل.
39Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
40فاضطجع اخآب مع آبائه وملك أخزيا ابنه عوضا عنه
40So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
41وملك يهوشافاط ابن آسا على يهوذا في السنة الرابعة لاخآب ملك اسرائيل.
41Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
42وكان يهوشافاط ابن خمس وثلاثين سنة حين ملك وملك خمسا وعشرين سنة في اورشليم واسم امه عزوبة بنت شلحي.
42Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
43وسار في كل طريق آسا ابيه. لم يحد عنها. اذ عمل المستقيم في عيني الرب. الا ان المرتفعات لم تنتزع بل كان الشعب لا يزال يذبح ويوقد على المرتفعات.
43He walked in all the way of Asa his father; He didn’t turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh: however the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
44وصالح يهوشافاط ملك اسرائيل.
44Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45وبقية امور يهوشافاط وجبروته الذي اظهره وكيف حارب أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا.
45Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
46وبقية المأبونين الذين بقوا في ايام آسا ابيه ابادهم من الارض.
46The remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
47ولم يكن في ادوم ملك. ملك وكيل.
47There was no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
48وعمل يهوشافاط سفن ترشيش لكي تذهب الى اوفير لاجل الذهب فلم تذهب لان السفن تكسرت في عصيون جابر.
48Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they didn’t go; for the ships were broken at Ezion Geber.
49حينئذ قال اخزيا بن اخآب ليهوشافاط ليذهب عبيدي مع عبيدك في السفن. فلم يشأ يهوشافاط.
49Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not.
50واضطجع يهوشافاط مع آبائه ودفن مع آبائه في مدينة داود ابيه فملك يهورام ابنه عوضا عنه
50Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
51اخزيا ابن اخآب ملك على اسرائيل في السامرة في السنة السابعة عشرة ليهوشافاط ملك يهوذا. ملك على اسرائيل سنتين.
51Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.
52وعمل الشر في عيني الرب وسار في طريق ابيه وطريق امه وطريق يربعام بن نباط الذي جعل اسرائيل يخطئ
52He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, in which he made Israel to sin.
53وعبد البعل وسجد له واغاظ الرب اله اسرائيل حسب كل ما فعل ابوه
53He served Baal, and worshiped him, and provoked to anger Yahweh, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
