1 KINGS 19

ملوك اول 20

1  And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword.

1  وَأَخْبَرَ أَخْآبُ إِيزَابَلَ بِكُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ إِيلِيَّا، وَكَيْفَ أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ جَمِيعَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ بِالسَّيْفِ.

2  Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."

2  فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِيزَابَلُ رَسُولاً إِلَى إِيلِيَّا تَقُولُ: [هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ الآلِهَةُ وَهَكَذَا تَزِيدُ إِنْ لَمْ أَجْعَلْ نَفْسَكَ كَنَفْسِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي نَحْوِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ غَداً].

3  And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

3  فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَامَ وَمَضَى لأَجْلِ نَفْسِهِ، وَأَتَى إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ الَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا وَتَرَكَ غُلاَمَهُ هُنَاكَ.

4  But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, "It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!"

4  ثُمَّ سَارَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمٍ، حَتَّى أَتَى وَجَلَسَ تَحْتَ رَتَمَةٍ وَطَلَبَ الْمَوْتَ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَقَالَ: [قَدْ كَفَى الآنَ يَا رَبُّ! خُذْ نَفْسِي لأَنِّي لَسْتُ خَيْراً مِنْ آبَائِي!]

5  Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat."

5  وَاضْطَجَعَ وَنَامَ تَحْتَ الرَّتَمَةِ. وَإِذَا بِمَلاَكٍ قَدْ مَسَّهُ وَقَالَ: [قُمْ وَكُلْ].

6  Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again.

6  فَتَطَلَّعَ وَإِذَا كَعْكَةُ رَضْفٍ وَكُوزُ مَاءٍ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ، فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَاضْطَجَعَ.

7  And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, "Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you."

7  ثُمَّ عَادَ مَلاَكُ الرَّبِّ ثَانِيَةً فَمَسَّهُ وَقَالَ: [قُمْ وَكُلْ لأَنَّ الْمَسَافَةَ كَثِيرَةٌ عَلَيْكَ].

8  So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.

8  فَقَامَ وَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ، وَسَارَ بِقُوَّةِ تِلْكَ الأَكْلَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَاراً وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً إِلَى جَبَلِ اللَّهِ حُورِيبَ،

9  And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

9  وَدَخَلَ هُنَاكَ الْمَغَارَةَ وَبَاتَ فِيهَا. وَكَانَ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ: [مَا لَكَ هَهُنَا يَا إِيلِيَّا؟]

10  So he said, "I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life."

10  فَقَالَ: [قَدْ غِرْتُ غَيْرَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ الْجُنُودِ، لأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ تَرَكُوا عَهْدَكَ وَنَقَضُوا مَذَابِحَكَ وَقَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ بِالسَّيْفِ، فَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي. وَهُمْ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي لِيَأْخُذُوهَا].

11  Then He said, "Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord." And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake;

11  فَقَالَ: [اخْرُجْ وَقِفْ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ]. وَإِذَا بِالرَّبِّ عَابِرٌ وَرِيحٌ عَظِيمَةٌ وَشَدِيدَةٌ قَدْ شَقَّتِ الْجِبَالَ وَكَسَّرَتِ الصُّخُورَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ فِي الرِّيحِ. وَبَعْدَ الرِّيحِ زَلْزَلَةٌ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ فِي الزَّلْزَلَةِ.

12  and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

12  وَبَعْدَ الزَّلْزَلَةِ نَارٌ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ فِي النَّارِ. وَبَعْدَ النَّارِ صَوْتٌ مُنْخَفِضٌ خَفِيفٌ.

13  So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

13  فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ إِيلِيَّا لَفَّ وَجْهَهُ بِرِدَائِهِ وَخَرَجَ وَوَقَفَ فِي بَابِ الْمَغَارَةِ، وَإِذَا بِصَوْتٍ إِلَيْهِ يَقُولُ: [مَا لَكَ هَهُنَا يَا إِيلِيَّا؟]

14  And he said, "I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life."

14  فَقَالَ: [غِرْتُ غَيْرَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ الْجُنُودِ لأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ تَرَكُوا عَهْدَكَ وَنَقَضُوا مَذَابِحَكَ وَقَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ بِالسَّيْفِ، فَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي، وَهُمْ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي لِيَأْخُذُوهَا].

15  Then the Lord said to him: "Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria.

15  فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: [اذْهَبْ رَاجِعاً فِي طَرِيقِكَ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ دِمِشْقَ، وَادْخُلْ وَامْسَحْ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكاً عَلَى أَرَامَ،

16  Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.

16  وَامْسَحْ يَاهُوَ بْنَ نِمْشِي مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَامْسَحْ أَلِيشَعَ بْنَ شَافَاطَ مِنْ آبَلَ مَحُولَةَ نَبِيّاً عِوَضاً عَنْكَ.

17  It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.

17  فَالَّذِي يَنْجُو مِنْ سَيْفِ حَزَائِيلَ يَقْتُلُهُ يَاهُو، وَالَّذِي يَنْجُو مِنْ سَيْفِ يَاهُو يَقْتُلُهُ أَلِيشَعُ.

18  Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him."

18  وَقَدْ أَبْقَيْتُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سَبْعَةَ آلاَفٍ، كُلَّ الرُّكَبِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَجْثُ لِلْبَعْلِ وَكُلَّ فَمٍ لَمْ يُقَبِّلْهُ].

19  So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him.

19  فَذَهَبَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَوَجَدَ أَلِيشَعَ بْنَ شَافَاطَ يَحْرُثُ، وَاثْنَا عَشَرَ زَوْجَ بَقَرٍ قُدَّامَهُ وَهُوَ مَعَ الثَّانِي عَشَرَ. فَمَرَّ إِيلِيَّا بِهِ وَطَرَحَ رِدَاءَهُ عَلَيْهِ.

20  And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, "Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you." And he said to him, "Go back again, for what have I done to you?"

20  فَتَرَكَ الْبَقَرَ وَرَكَضَ وَرَاءَ إِيلِيَّا وَقَالَ: [دَعْنِي أُقَبِّلْ أَبِي وَأُمِّي وَأَسِيرَ وَرَاءَكَ]. فَقَالَ لَهُ: [اذْهَبْ رَاجِعاً، لأَنِّي مَاذَا فَعَلْتُ لَكَ؟]

21  So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen's equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.

21  فَرَجَعَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَأَخَذَ زَوْجَ بَقَرٍ وَذَبَحَهُمَا، وَسَلَقَ اللَّحْمَ بِأَدَوَاتِ الْبَقَرِ وَأَعْطَى الشَّعْبَ فَأَكَلُوا. ثُمَّ قَامَ وَمَضَى وَرَاءَ إِيلِيَّا وَكَانَ يَخْدِمُهُ.
