1 Kings 13

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And behold there came a man of God out of Juda, by the word of the Lord to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing upon the altar, and burning incense.	1 واذا برجل الله قد أتى من يهوذا بكلام الرب الى بيت ايل ويربعام واقف لدى المذبح لكي يوقد.
2 And he cried out against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said: O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord: Behold a child shall be born to the house of David, Josias by name, and he shall immolate upon thee the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon thee, and he shall burn men's bones upon thee.	2 فنادى نحو المذبح بكلام الرب وقال يا مذبح يا مذبح هكذا قال الرب هوذا سيولد لبيت داود ابن اسمه يوشيا ويذبح عليك كهنة المترفعات الذين يوقدون عليك وتحرق عليك عظام الناس.
3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying: This shall be the sign, that the Lord hath spoken: Behold the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.	3 واعطى في ذلك اليوم علامة قائلا هذه هي العلامة التي تكلم بها الرب هوذا المذبح ينشق ويذرى الرماد الذي عليه.
4 And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar in Bethel, he stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying: Lay hold on him. And his hand which he stretched forth against him withered: and he was not able to draw it back again to him.	4 فلما سمع الملك كلام رجل الله الذي نادى نحو المذبح في بيت ايل مدّ يربعام يده عن المذبح قائلا امسكوه. فيبست يده التي مدّها نحوه ولم يستطع ان يردّها اليه.
5 The altar also was rent, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given before in the word of the Lord.	5 وانشقّ المذبح وذري الرماد من على المذبح حسب العلامة التي اعطاها رجل الله بكلام الرب
6 And the king said to the man of God: Entreat the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me. And the man of God besought the face of the Lord, and the king's hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.	6 فاجاب الملك وقال لرجل الله تضرّع الى وجه الرب الهك وصلّ من اجلي فترجع يدي اليّ. فتضرع رجل الله الى وجه الرب فرجعت يد الملك اليه وكانت كما في الاول.
7 And the king said to the man of God: Come home with me to dine, and I will make thee presents.	7 ثم قال الملك لرجل الله ادخل معي الى البيت وتقوّت فاعطيك اجرة.
8 And the man of God answered the king: If thou wouldst give me half thy house I will not go with thee, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place:	8 فقال رجل الله للملك لو اعطيتني نصف بيتك لا ادخل معك ولا آكل خبزا ولا اشرب ماء في هذا الموضع.
9 For so it was enjoined me by the word of the Lord commanding me: Thou shalt not eat bread nor drink water, nor return by the same way that thou camest.	9 لاني هكذا أوصيت بكلام الرب قائلا لا تاكل خبزا ولا تشرب ماء ولا ترجع في الطريق الذي ذهبت فيه.
10 So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way that he came into Bethel.	10 فذهب في طريق آخر ولم يرجع في الطريق الذي جاء فيه الى بيت ايل
11 Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.	11 وكان نبي شيخ ساكنا في بيت ايل. فاتى بنوه وقصوا عليه كل العمل الذي عمله رجل الله ذلك اليوم في بيت ايل وقصوا على ابيهم الكلام الذي تكلم به الى الملك.
12 And their father said to them: What way went he? His sons shewed him the way by which the man of God went, who came out of Juda.	12 فقال لهم ابوهم من اي طريق ذهب. وكان بنوه قد رأوا الطريق الذي سار فيه رجل الله الذي جاء من يهوذا.
13 And he said to his sons: Saddle me the ass. And when they had saddled him, he got up,	13 فقال لبنيه شدّوا لي على الحمار. فشدوا له على الحمار فركب عليه
14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a turpentine tree: and he said to him: Art thou the man of God that camest from Juda? He answered: I am.	14 وسار وراء رجل الله فوجده جالسا تحت البلوطة فقال له أأنت رجل الله الذي جاء من يهوذا. فقال انا هو.
15 And he said to him: Come home with me, to eat bread.	15 فقال له سر معي الى البيت وكل خبزا.
16 But he said: I must not return, nor go with thee, neither will I eat bread, nor drink water in this place :	16 فقال لا اقدر ان ارجع معك ولا ادخل معك ولا آكل خبزا ولا اشرب معك ماء في هذا الموضع.
17 Because the Lord spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Thou shalt not eat bread, and thou shalt not drink water there, nor return by the way thou wentest.	17 لانه قيل لي بكلام الرب لا تاكل خبزا ولا تشرب هناك ماء ولا ترجع سائرا في الطريق الذي ذهبت فيه.
18 He said to him: I also am a prophet like unto thee: and an angel spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him,	18 فقال له انا ايضا نبي مثلك وقد كلمني ملاك بكلام الرب قائلا ارجع به معك الى بيتك فياكل خبزا ويشرب ماء. كذب عليه.
19 And brought him back with him: so he ate bread and drank water in his house.	19 فرجع معه وأكل خبزا في بيته وشرب ماء
20 And as they sat at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back:	20 وبينما هما جالسان على المائدة كان كلام الرب الى النبي الذي ارجعه
21 And he cried out to the man of God who came out of Juda, saying : Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast not been obedient to the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,	21 فصاح الى رجل الله الذي جاء من يهوذا قائلا هكذا قال الرب. من اجل انك خالفت قول الرب ولم تحفظ الوصية التي اوصاك بها الرب الهك
22 And hast returned and eaten bread, and drunk water in the place wherein he commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat bread, nor drink water, thy dead body shall not be brought into the sepulchre of thy fathers.	22 فرجعت وأكلت خبزا وشربت ماء في الموضع الذي قال لك لا تأكل فيه خبزا ولا تشرب ماء لا تدخل جثتك قبر آبائك.
23 And when he had eaten and drunk, he saddled his ass for the prophet, whom he had brought back.	23 ثم بعدما اكل خبزا وبعد ان شرب شدّ له على الحمار اي للنبي الذي ارجعه
24 And when he was gone, a lion found him in the way, and killed him, and his body was cast in the way: and the ass stood by him, and the lion stood by the dead body.	24 وانطلق. فصادفه اسد في الطريق وقتله وكانت جثته مطروحة في الطريق والحمار واقف بجانبها والاسد واقف بجانب الجثّة.
25 And behold, men passing by saw the dead body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city, wherein that old prophet dwelt.	25 واذا بقوم يعبرون فرأوا الجثّة مطروحة في الطريق والاسد واقف بجانب الجثّة. فأتوا واخبروا في المدينة التي كان النبي الشيخ ساكنا بها.
26 And when that prophet, who had brought him back out of the way, heard of it, he said: It is the man of God, that was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord, and the Lord hath delivered him to the lion, and he hath torn him, and killed him according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.	26 ولما سمع النبي الذي ارجعه عن الطريق قال هو رجل الله الذي خالف قول الرب فدفعه الرب للاسد فافترسه وقتله حسب كلام الرب الذي كلمه به.
27 And he said to his sons: Saddle me an ass. And when they had saddled it,	27 وكلم بنيه قائلا شدّوا لي على الحمار. فشدّوا
28 And he was gone, he found the dead body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten of the dead body, nor hurt the ass.	28 فذهب ووجد جثّته مطروحة في الطريق والحمار والاسد واقفين بجانب الجثّة ولم يأكل الاسد الجثّة ولا افترس الحمار.
29 And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and going back brought it into the city of the old prophet, to mourn for him.	29 فرفع النبي جثّة رجل الله ووضعها على الحمار ورجع بها ودخل النبي الشيخ المدينة ليندبه ويدفنه
30 And he laid his dead body in his own sepulchre: and they mourned over him, saying: Alas! alas ! my brother.	30 فوضع جثته في قبره وناحوا عليه قائلين آه يا اخي.
31 And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones.	31 وبعد دفنه اياه كلم بنيه قائلا عند وفاتي ادفنوني في القبر الذي دفن فيه رجل الله. بجانب عظامه ضعوا عظامي.
32 For assuredly the word shall come to pass which he hath foretold in the word of the Lord against the altar that is in Bethel: and against all the temples of the high places, that are in the cities of Samaria.	32 لانه تماما سيتم الكلام الذي نادى به بكلام الرب نحو المذبح الذي في بيت ايل ونحو جميع بيوت المرتفعات التي في مدن السامرة.
33 After these words Jeroboam came not back from his wicked way: but on the contrary he made of the meanest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he filled his hand, and he was made a priest of the high places.	33 بعد هذا الامر لم يرجع يربعام عن طريقه الردية بل عاد فعمل من اطراف الشعب كهنة مرتفعات. من شاء ملأ يده فصار من كهنة المرتفعات.
34 And for this cause did the house of Jeroboam sin, and was cut off and destroyed from the face of the earth.	34 وكان من هذا الأمر خطية لبيت يربعام وكان لابادته وخرابه عن وجه الارض
