1 Kings 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 A man of God came from Judah to Bethel by the word of the LORD, while Jeroboam was standing at the altar to offer sacrifice.	1 واذا برجل الله قد أتى من يهوذا بكلام الرب الى بيت ايل ويربعام واقف لدى المذبح لكي يوقد.
2 He cried out against the altar the word of the LORD: "O altar, altar, the LORD says, 'A child shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name, who shall slaughter upon you the priests of the high places who offer sacrifice upon you, and he shall burn human bones upon you.'"	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 He gave a sign that same day and said: "This is the sign that the LORD has spoken: The altar shall break up and the ashes on it shall be strewn about.	3 واعطى في ذلك اليوم علامة قائلا هذه هي العلامة التي تكلم بها الرب هوذا المذبح ينشق ويذرى الرماد الذي عليه.
4 When King Jeroboam heard what the man of God was crying out against the altar, he stretched forth his hand from the altar and said, "Seize him!" But the hand he stretched forth against him withered, so that he could not draw it back.	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 Moreover, the altar broke up and the ashes from it were strewn about--the sign the man of God had given as the word of the LORD.	5 وانشقّ المذبح وذري الرماد من على المذبح حسب العلامة التي اعطاها رجل الله بكلام الرب
6 Then the king appealed to the man of God. "Entreat the LORD, your God," he said, "and intercede for me that I may be able to withdraw my hand." So the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king recovered the normal use of his hand.	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 "Come home with me for some refreshment," the king invited the man of God, "and I will give you a present."	7 ثم قال الملك لرجل الله ادخل معي الى البيت وتقوّت فاعطيك اجرة.
8 "If you gave me half your kingdom," the man of God said to the king, "I would not go with you, nor eat bread or 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 I was instructed by the word of the LORD not to eat bread or drink water and not to return by the way I came."	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 road and did not go back the way he had come to Bethel.	10 فذهب في طريق آخر ولم يرجع في الطريق الذي جاء فيه الى بيت ايل
11 There was an old prophet living in the city, whose sons came and told him all that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. When they repeated to their father the words 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 the father asked them, "Which way did he go?" And his sons pointed out to him the road taken by the man of God who had come from Judah.	12 فقال لهم ابوهم من اي طريق ذهب. وكان بنوه قد رأوا الطريق الذي سار فيه رجل الله الذي جاء من يهوذا.
13 Then he said to his sons, "Saddle the ass for me." When they had saddled it, he mounted	13 فقال لبنيه شدّوا لي على الحمار. فشدوا له على الحمار فركب عليه
14 and followed the man of God, whom he found seated under a terebinth. When he asked him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" he answered, "Yes."	14 وسار وراء رجل الله فوجده جالسا تحت البلوطة فقال له أأنت رجل الله الذي جاء من يهوذا. فقال انا هو.
15 Then he said, "Come home with me and have some bread."	15 فقال له سر معي الى البيت وكل خبزا.
16 "I cannot go back with you, and I cannot eat bread or drink water with you in this place," he answered,	16 فقال لا اقدر ان ارجع معك ولا ادخل معك ولا آكل خبزا ولا اشرب معك ماء في هذا الموضع.
17 "for I was told by the word of the LORD neither to eat bread nor drink water here, and not to go back the way I came."	17 لانه قيل لي بكلام الرب لا تاكل خبزا ولا تشرب هناك ماء ولا ترجع سائرا في الطريق الذي ذهبت فيه.
18 But he said to him, "I, too, am a prophet like you, and an angel told me in the word of the LORD to bring you back with me to my house and to have you eat bread and drink water." He was lying to him, however.	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 So he went back with him, and ate bread and drank water in his house.	19 فرجع معه وأكل خبزا في بيته وشرب ماء
20 But while they were sitting at table, the LORD spoke to the prophet who had 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 had come from Judah: "The LORD says, 'Because you rebelled against the command of the LORD and did not keep the command which the LORD, your God, gave you,	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 but returned and ate bread and drank water in the place where he told you to do neither, your corpse shall not be brought to the grave of your ancestors.'"	22 فرجعت وأكلت خبزا وشربت ماء في الموضع الذي قال لك لا تأكل فيه خبزا ولا تشرب ماء لا تدخل جثتك قبر آبائك.
23 After he had eaten bread and drunk water, the ass was saddled for him, and he again	23 ثم بعدما اكل خبزا وبعد ان شرب شدّ له على الحمار اي للنبي الذي ارجعه
24 set out. But a lion met him on the road, and killed him. His corpse lay sprawled on the road, and the ass remained standing by it, and so did the lion.	24 وانطلق. فصادفه اسد في الطريق وقتله وكانت جثته مطروحة في الطريق والحمار واقف بجانبها والاسد واقف بجانب الجثّة.
25 Some passers-by saw the body lying in the road, with the lion standing beside it, and carried the news to the city where the old prophet lived.	25 واذا بقوم يعبرون فرأوا الجثّة مطروحة في الطريق والاسد واقف بجانب الجثّة. فأتوا واخبروا في المدينة التي كان النبي الشيخ ساكنا بها.
26 On hearing it, the prophet who had brought him back from his journey said: "It is the man of God who rebelled against the command of the LORD. He has delivered him to a lion, which mangled and killed him, as the LORD predicted 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 Then he said to his sons, "Saddle the ass for me." When they had saddled it,	27 وكلم بنيه قائلا شدّوا لي على الحمار. فشدّوا
28 he went off and found the body lying in the road with the ass and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body nor had it harmed the ass.	28 فذهب ووجد جثّته مطروحة في الطريق والحمار والاسد واقفين بجانب الجثّة ولم يأكل الاسد الجثّة ولا افترس الحمار.
29 The prophet lifted up the body of the man of God and put it on the ass, and brought it back to the city to mourn over it and to bury it.	29 فرفع النبي جثّة رجل الله ووضعها على الحمار ورجع بها ودخل النبي الشيخ المدينة ليندبه ويدفنه
30 He laid the man's body in his own grave, and they mourned over it: "Alas, my brother!"	30 فوضع جثته في قبره وناحوا عليه قائلين آه يا اخي.
31 After he had buried him, he said to his sons, "When I die, bury me in the grave where the man of God is buried. Lay my remains beside his.	31 وبعد دفنه اياه كلم بنيه قائلا عند وفاتي ادفنوني في القبر الذي دفن فيه رجل الله. بجانب عظامه ضعوا عظامي.
32 For the word of the LORD which he proclaimed against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places in the cities of Samaria shall certainly come to pass."	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 Jeroboam did not give up his evil ways after this event, but again made priests for the high places from among the common people. Whoever desired it was consecrated and became 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 This was a sin on the part of the house of Jeroboam for which it was to be cut off and destroyed from the earth.	34 وكان من هذا الأمر خطية لبيت يربعام وكان لابادته وخرابه عن وجه الارض
