1 Kings 21

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Some time after this, as Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel next to the palace of Ahab, king of Samaria,	1 وحدث بعد هذه الامور انه كان لنابوت اليزرعيلي كرم في يزرعيل بجانب قصر اخآب ملك السامرة.
2 Ahab said to Naboth, "Give me your vineyard to be my vegetable garden, since it is close by, next to my house. I will give you a better vineyard in exchange, or, if you prefer, I will give you its value in money."	2 فكلم 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.
3 "The LORD forbid," Naboth answered him, "that I should give you my ancestral heritage."	3 فقال نابوت لاخآب حاشا لي من قبل الرب ان اعطيك ميراث آبائي.
4 Ahab went home disturbed and angry at the answer Naboth the Jezreelite had made to him: "I will not give you my ancestral heritage." Lying down on his bed, he turned away from food and would not eat.	4 فدخل 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.
5 His wife Jezebel came to him and said to him, "Why are you so angry that you will not eat?"	5 فدخلت اليه ايزابل امرأته وقالت له لماذا روحك مكتئبة ولا تأكل خبزا.
6 He answered her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, 'Sell me your vineyard, or, if you prefer, I will give you a vineyard in exchange.' But he refused to let me have his vineyard."	6 فقال لها لاني كلمت نابوت اليزرعيلي وقلت له اعطيني كرمك بفضة واذا شئت اعطيتك كرما عوضه فقال لا اعطيك كرمي.
7 "A fine ruler over Israel you are indeed!" his wife Jezebel said to him. "Get up. Eat and be cheerful. I will obtain the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite for you."	7 فقالت له ايزابل أأنت الآن تحكم على اسرائيل. قم كل خبزا وليطب قلبك. انا اعطيك كرم نابوت اليزرعيلي.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and, having sealed them with his seal, sent them to the elders and to the nobles who lived in the same city with Naboth.	8 ثم كتبت رسائل باسم اخآب وختمتها بخاتمه وارسلت الرسائل الى الشيوخ والاشراف الذين في مدينته الساكنين مع نابوت.
9 This is what she wrote in the letters: "Proclaim a fast and set Naboth at the head of the people.	9 وكتبت في الرسائل تقول. نادوا بصوم واجلسوا نابوت في راس الشعب.
10 Next, get two scoundrels to face him and accuse him of having cursed God and king. Then take him out and stone him to death."	10 واجلسوا رجلين من بني بليعال تجاهه ليشهدا قائلين قد جدّفت على الله وعلى الملك. ثم اخرجوه وارجموه فيموت.
11 His fellow citizens--the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city--did as Jezebel had ordered them in writing, through the letters she had sent them.	11 ففعل رجال مدينته الشيوخ والاشراف الساكنون في مدينته كما ارسلت اليهم ايزابل كما هو مكتوب في الرسائل التي ارسلتها اليهم.
12 They proclaimed a fast and placed Naboth at the head of the people.	12 فنادوا بصوم واجلسوا نابوت في راس الشعب.
13 Two scoundrels came in and confronted him with the accusation, "Naboth has cursed God and king." And they led him out of the city and stoned him to death.	13 وأتى 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.
14 Then they sent the information to Jezebel that Naboth had been stoned to death.	14 وارسلوا الى ايزابل يقولون قد رجم نابوت ومات.
15 When Jezebel learned that Naboth had been stoned to death, she said to Ahab, "Go on, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite which he refused to sell you, because Naboth is not alive, but dead."	15 ولما 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.
16 On hearing that Naboth was dead, Ahab started off on his way down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.	16 ولما سمع اخآب ان نابوت قد مات قام اخآب لينزل الى كرم نابوت اليزرعيلي ليرثه
17 But the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite:	17 فكان كلام الرب الى ايليا التشبي قائلا
18 "Start down to meet Ahab, king of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He will be in the vineyard of Naboth, of which he has come to take possession.	18 قم انزل للقاء اخآب ملك اسرائيل الذي في السامرة. هوذا هو في كرم نابوت الذي نزل اليه ليرثه.
19 This is what you shall tell him, 'The LORD says: After murdering, do you also take possession? For this, the LORD says: In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, the dogs shall lick up your blood, too.'"	19 وكلمه 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.
20 "Have you found me out, my enemy?" Ahab said to Elijah. "Yes," he answered. "Because you have given yourself up to doing evil in the LORD'S sight,	20 فقال اخآب لايليا هل وجدتني يا عدوي. فقال قد وجدتك لانك قد بعت نفسك لعمل الشر في عيني الرب.
21 I am bringing evil upon you: I will destroy you and will cut off every male in Ahab's line, whether slave or freeman, in Israel.	21 هانذا اجلب عليك شرا وابيد نسلك واقطع لاخآب كل بائل بحائط ومحجوز ومطلق في اسرائيل.
22 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and like that of Baasha, son of Ahijah, because of how you have provoked me by leading Israel into sin."	22 واجعل بيتك كبيت يربعام بن نباط وكبيت بعشا بن اخيا لاجل الاغاظة التي اغظتني ولجعلك اسرائيل يخطئ.
23 (Against Jezebel, too, the LORD declared, "The dogs shall devour Jezebel in the district of Jezreel.")	23 وتكلم الرب عن ايزابل ايضا قائلا ان الكلاب تاكل ايزابل عند مترسة يزرعيل.
24 "When one of Ahab's line dies in the city, dogs will devour him; when one of them dies in the field, the birds of the sky will devour him."	24 من مات لاخآب في المدينة تاكله الكلاب ومن مات في الحقل تاكله طيور السماء.
25 Indeed, no one gave himself up to the doing of evil in the sight of the LORD as did Ahab, urged on by his wife Jezebel.	25 ولم يكن كاخآب الذي باع نفسه لعمل الشر في عيني الرب الذي اغوته ايزابل امرأته.
26 He became completely abominable by following idols, just as the Amorites had done, whom the LORD drove out before the Israelites.	26 ورجس جدا بذهابه وراء الاصنام حسب كل ما فعل الاموريون الذين طردهم الرب من امام بني اسرائيل.
27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his garments and put on sackcloth over his bare flesh. He fasted, slept in the sackcloth, and went about subdued.	27 ولما سمع اخآب هذا الكلام شقّ ثيابه وجعل مسحا على جسده وصام واضطجع بالمسح ومشى بسكوت.
28 Then the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite,	28 فكان كلام الرب الى ايليا التشبي قائلا
29 "Have you seen that Ahab has humbled himself before me? Since he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his time. I will bring the evil upon his house during the reign of his son."	29 هل رأيت كيف اتضع اخآب امامي. فمن اجل انه قد اتضع امامي لا اجلب الشر في ايامه بل في ايام ابنه اجلب الشر على بيته
