1 Kings 20

KING JAMES BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.	1 وجمع بنهدد ملك ارام كل جيشه واثنين وثلاثين ملكا معه وخيلا ومركبات وصعد وحاصر السامرة وحاربها.
2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad,	2 وارسل رسلا الى اخآب ملك اسرائيل الى المدينة وقال له هكذا يقول بنهدد.
3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.	3 لي فضتك وذهبك ولي نساؤك وبنوك الحسان.
4 And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.	4 فاجاب ملك اسرائيل وقال حسب قولك يا سيدي الملك انا وجميع مالي لك.
5 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;	5 فرجع الرسل وقالوا هكذا تكلم بن هدد قائلا اني قد ارسلت اليك قائلا ان فضتك وذهبك ونساءك وبنيك تعطيني اياهم
6 Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.	6 فاني في نحو هذا الوقت غدا ارسل عبيدي اليك فيفتشون بيتك وبيوت عبيدك وكل ما هو شهي في عينيك يضعونه في ايديهم وياخذونه.
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.	7 فدعا ملك اسرائيل جميع شيوخ الارض وقال اعلموا وانظروا ان هذا يطلب الشر لانه ارسل اليّ بطلب نسائي وبنيّ وفضتي وذهبي ولم امنعها عنه.
8 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.	8 فقال له كل الشيوخ وكل الشعب لا تسمع له ولا تقبل.
9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.	9 فقال لرسل بنهدد قولوا لسيدي الملك ان كل ما ارسلت فيه الى عبدك اولا افعله. واما هذا الامر فلا استطيع ان افعله. فرجع الرسل وردّوا عليه الجواب.
10 And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.	10 فارسل اليه بنهدد وقال هكذا تفعل بي الآلهة وهكذا تزيدني ان كان تراب السامرة يكفي قبضات لكل الشعب الذي يتبعني.
11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.	11 فاجاب ملك اسرائيل وقال قولوا لا يفتخرنّ من يشد كمن يحل.
12 And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions,that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.	12 فلما سمع هذا الكلام وهو يشرب مع الملوك في الخيام قال لعبيده اصطفوا فاصطفوا على المدينة
13 And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it in to thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.	13 واذا بنبي تقدم الى اخآب ملك اسرائيل وقال هكذا قال الرب هل رايت كل هذا الجمهور العظيم. هانذا ادفعه ليدك اليوم فتعلم اني انا الرب.
14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.	14 فقال اخآب بمن فقال هكذا قال الرب بغلمان رؤساء المقاطعات. فقال من يبتدئ بالحرب. فقال انت.
15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.	15 فعدّ غلمان رؤساء المقاطعات فبلغوا مئتين واثنين وثلاثين. وعدّ بعدهم كل الشعب كل بني اسرائيل سبعة آلاف.
16 And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.	16 وخرجوا عند الظهر وبنهدد يشرب ويسكر في الخيام هو والملوك الاثنان والثلاثون الذين ساعدوه.
17 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.	17 فخرج غلمان رؤساء المقاطعات اولا. وارسل بنهدد فاخبروه قائلين قد خرج رجال من السامرة.
18 And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.	18 فقال ان كانوا قد خرجوا للسلام فامسكوهم احياء وان كانوا قد خرجوا للقتال فامسكوهم احياء.
19 So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.	19 فخرج غلمان رؤساء المقاطعات هؤلاء من المدينة هم والجيش الذي وراءهم.
20 And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.	20 وضرب كل رجل رجله فهرب الاراميون وطاردهم اسرائيل ونجا بنهدد ملك ارام على فرس مع الفرسان.
21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.	21 وخرج ملك اسرائيل فضرب الخيل والمركبات وضرب ارام ضربة عظيمة
22 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thy self, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.	22 فتقدم النبي الى ملك اسرائيل وقال له اذهب تشدد واعلم وانظر ما تفعل لانه عند تمام السنة يصعد عليك ملك ارام.
23 And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.	23 واما عبيد ملك ارام فقالوا له ان آلهتهم آلهة جبال لذلك قووا علينا. ولكن اذا حاربناهم في السهل فاننا نقوى عليهم.
24 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:	24 وافعل هذا الامر. اعزل الملوك كل واحد من مكانه وضع قوادا مكانهم.
25 And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.	25 واحص لنفسك جيشا كالجيش الذي سقط منك فرسا بفرس ومركبة بمركبة فنحاربهم في السهل ونقوى عليهم. فسمع لقولهم وفعل كذلك.
26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.	26 وعند تمام السنة عدّ بنهدد الاراميين وصعد الى افيق ليحارب اسرائيل.
27 And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.	27 واحصي بنو اسرائيل وتزوّدوا وساروا للقائهم فنزل بنو اسرائيل مقابلهم نظير قطيعين صغيرين من المعزى. واما الاراميون فملأوا الارض
28 And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.	28 فتقدم رجل الله وكلم ملك اسرائيل وقال هكذا قال الرب من اجل ان الاراميين قالوا ان الرب انما هو اله جبال وليس هو اله اودية ادفع كل هذا الجمهور العظيم ليدك فتعلمون اني انا الرب.
29 And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.	29 فنزل هؤلاء مقابل اولئك سبعة ايام. وفي اليوم السابع اشتبكت الحرب فضرب بنو اسرائيل من الاراميين مئة الف راجل في يوم واحد.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.	30 وهرب الباقون الى افيق الى المدينة وسقط السور على السبعة والعشرين الف رجل الباقين. وهرب بنهدد ودخل المدينة من مخدع الى مخدع.
31 And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.	31 فقال له عبيده اننا قد سمعنا ان ملوك بيت اسرائيل هم ملوك حليمون فلنضع مسوحا على احقائنا وحبالا على رؤوسنا ونخرج الى ملك اسرائيل لعله يحيي نفسك.
32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.	32 فشدّوا مسوحا على احقائهم وحبالا على رؤوسهم واتوا الى ملك اسرائيل وقالوا يقول عبدك بنهدد لتحي نفسي. فقال أهو حيّ بعد. هو اخي.
33 Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.	33 فتفاءل الرجال واسرعوا ولجّوا هل هو منه. وقالوا اخوك بنهدد. فقال ادخلوا خذوه فخرج اليه بنهدد فاصعده الى المركبة.
34 And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.	34 وقال له اني ارد المدن التي اخذها ابي من ابيك وتجعل لنفسك اسواقا في دمشق كما جعل ابي في السامرة. فقال وانا اطلقك بهذا العهد. فقطع له عهدا واطلقه
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.	35 وان رجلا من بني الانبياء قال لصاحبه. عن امر الرب اضربني. فابى الرجل ان يضربه.
36 Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.	36 فقال له من اجل انك لم تسمع لقول الرب فحينما تذهب من عندي يقتلك اسد. ولما ذهب من عنده لقيه اسد. وقتله.
37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.	37 ثم صادف رجلا آخر فقال اضربني. فضربه الرجل ضربة فجرحه.
38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.	38 فذهب النبي وانتظر الملك على الطريق وتنكر بعصابة على عينيه.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.	39 ولما عبر الملك نادى الملك وقال خرج عبدك الى وسط القتال واذا برجل مال واتى اليّ برجل وقال احفظ هذا الرجل. وان فقد تكون نفسك بدل نفسه او تدفع وزنة من الفضة.
40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.	40 وفيما عبدك مشتغل هنا وهناك اذ هو مفقود. فقال له ملك اسرائيل هكذا حكمك. انت قضيت.
41 And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.	41 فبادر ورفع العصابة عن عينيه فعرفه ملك اسرائيل انه من الانبياء.
42 And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.	42 فقال له هكذا قال الرب لانك افلت من يدك رجلا قد حرمته تكون نفسك بدل نفسه وشعبك بدل شعبه.
43 And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.	43 فمضى ملك اسرائيل الى بيته مكتئبا مغموما وجاء الى السامرة
