2 Kings 8

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Elisha once said to the woman whose son he had restored to life: "Get ready! Leave with your family and settle wherever you can, because the LORD has decreed a seven-year famine which is coming upon the land."	1 وكلم اليشع المرأة التي احيا ابنها قائلا قومي وانطلقي انت وبيتك وتغرّبي حيثما تتغربي. لان الرب قد دعا بجوع فيأتي ايضا على الارض سبع سنين.
2 The woman got ready and did as the man of God said, setting out with her family and settling in the land of the Philistines for seven years.	2 فقامت المرأة وفعلت حسب كلام رجل الله وانطلقت هي وبيتها وتغربت في ارض الفلسطينيين سبع سنين
3 At the end of the seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines and went out to the king to claim her house and her field.	3 وفي نهاية السنين السبع رجعت المرأة من ارض الفلسطينيين وخرجت لتصرخ الى الملك لاجل بيتها وحقلها.
4 The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God. "Tell me," he said, "all the great things that Elisha has done."	4 وكلم الملك جيحزي غلام رجل الله قائلا قص عليّ جميع العظائم التي فعلها اليشع.
5 Just as he was relating to the king how his master had restored a dead person to life, the very woman whose son Elisha had restored to life came to the king to claim her house and field. "My lord king," Gehazi said, "this is the woman, and this is that son of hers whom Elisha restored to life."	5 وفيما هو يقص على الملك كيف انه احيا الميت اذا بالمرأة التي احيا ابنها تصرخ الى الملك لاجل بيتها ولاجل حقلها. فقال جيحزي يا سيدي الملك هذه هي المرأة وهذا هو ابنها الذي احياه اليشع.
6 The king questioned the woman, and she told him her story. With that the king placed an official at her disposal, saying, "Restore all her property to her, with all that the field produced from the day she left the land until now."	6 فسأل الملك المرأة فقصت عليه ذلك. فاعطاها الملك خصيا قائلا ارجع كل ما لها وجميع غلات الحقل من حين تركت الارض الى الآن
7 Elisha came to Damascus at a time when Ben-hadad, king of Aram, lay sick. When he was told that the man of God had come there,	7 وجاء اليشع الى دمشق. وكان بنهدد ملك ارام مريضا. فأخبر وقيل له قد جاء رجل الله الى هنا.
8 the king said to Hazael, "Take a gift with you and go call on the man of God. Have him consult the LORD as to whether I shall recover from this sickness."	8 فقال الملك لحزائيل خذ بيدك هدية واذهب لاستقبال رجل الله واسأل الرب به قائلا هل اشفى من مرضي هذا.
9 Hazael went to visit him, carrying a present, and with forty camel loads of the best goods of Damascus. On his arrival, he stood before the prophet and said, "Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to ask you whether he will recover from his sickness."	9 فذهب حزائيل لاستقباله واخذ هدية بيده ومن كل خيرات دمشق حمل اربعين جملا وجاء ووقف امامه وقال ان ابنك بنهدد ملك ارام قد ارسلني اليك قائلا هل اشفى من مرضي هذا.
10 "Go and tell him," Elisha answered, "that he will surely recover. However, the LORD has showed me that he will in fact die."	10 فقال له اليشع اذهب وقل له شفاء تشفى. وقد اراني الرب انه يموت موتا.
11 Then he stared him down until Hazael became ill at ease. The man of God wept,	11 فجعل نظره عليه وثبّته حتى خجل. فبكى رجل الله.
12 and Hazael asked, "Why are you weeping, my lord?" Elisha replied, "Because I know the evil that you will inflict upon the Israelites. You will burn their fortresses, you will slay their youth with the sword, you will dash their little children to pieces, you will rip open their pregnant women."	12 فقال حزائيل لماذا يبكي سيدي. فقال لاني علمت ما ستفعله ببني اسرائيل من الشر فانك تطلق النار على حصونهم وتقتل شبانهم بالسيف وتحطم اطفالهم وتشقّ حواملهم.
13 Hazael exclaimed, "How can a dog like me, your servant, do anything so important?" "The LORD has showed you to me as king over Aram," replied Elisha.	13 فقال حزائيل ومن هو عبدك الكلب حتى يفعل هذا الأمر العظيم. فقال اليشع قد اراني الرب اياك ملكا على ارام.
14 Hazael left Elisha and returned to his master. "What did Elisha tell you?" asked Ben-hadad. "He told me that you would surely recover," replied Hazael.	14 فانطلق من عند اليشع ودخل الى سيده فقال له ماذا قال لك اليشع. فقال قال لي انك تحيا.
15 The next day, however, Hazael took a cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over the king's face, so that he died. And Hazael reigned in his stead.	15 وفي الغد اخذ اللبدة وغمسها بالماء ونشرها على وجهه ومات وملك حزائيل عوضا عنه
16 In the fifth year of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.	16 وفي السنة الخامسة ليورام بن اخآب ملك اسرائيل ويهوشافاط ملك يهوذا ملك يهورام بن يهوشافاط ملك يهوذا.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.	17 كان ابن اثنتين وثلاثين سنة حين ملك وملك ثماني سنين في اورشليم.
18 He conducted himself like the kings of Israel of the line of Ahab, since the sister of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the LORD'S sight.	18 وسار في طريق ملوك اسرائيل كما فعل بيت اخآب لان بنت اخآب كانت له امرأة. وعمل الشر في عيني الرب.
19 Even so, the LORD was unwilling to destroy Judah, because of his servant David. For he had promised David that he would leave him a lamp in the LORD'S presence for all time.	19 ولم يشإ الرب ان يبيد يهوذا من اجل داود عبده كما قال انه يعطيه سراجا ولبنيه كل الايام.
20 During Jehoram's reign, Edom revolted against the sovereignty of Judah and chose a king of its own.	20 وفي ايامه عصى ادوم من تحت يد يهوذا وملّكوا على انفسهم ملكا.
21 Thereupon Jehoram with all his chariots crossed over to Zair. He arose by night and broke through the Edomites when they had surrounded him and the commanders of his chariots. Then his army fled homeward.	21 وعبر يورام الى صعير وجميع المركبات معه وقام ليلا وضرب ادوم المحيط به ورؤساء المركبات وهرب الشعب الى خيامهم.
22 To this day Edom has been in revolt against the rule of Judah. Libnah also revolted at that time.	22 وعصى ادوم من تحت يد يهوذا الى هذا اليوم. حينئذ عصت لبنة في ذلك الوقت.
23 The rest of the acts of Jehoram, with all that he did, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.	23 وبقية امور يورام وكل ما صنع أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا.
24 Jehoram rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.	24 واضطجع يورام مع آبائه ودفن مع آبائه في مدينة داود وملك اخزيا ابنه عوضا عنه
25 Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king in the twelfth year of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.	25 في السنة الثانية عشرة ليورام بن اخآب ملك اسرائيل ملك اخزيا بن يهورام ملك يهوذا.
26 He was twenty-two years old when he began his reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah; she was daughter of Omri, king of Israel.	26 كان اخزيا ابن اثنتين وعشرين سنة حين ملك وملك سنة واحدة في اورشليم. واسم امه عثليا بنت عمري ملك اسرائيل.
27 He conducted himself like the house of Ahab, doing evil in the LORD'S sight as they did, since he was related to them by marriage.	27 وسار في طريق بيت اخآب وعمل الشر في عيني الرب كبيت اخآب لانه كان صهر بيت اخآب.
28 He joined Joram, son of Ahab, in battle against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead, where the Arameans wounded Joram.	28 وانطلق مع يورام بن اخآب لمقاتلة حزائيل ملك ارام في راموت جلعاد فضرب الاراميون يورام.
29 King Joram returned to Jezreel to be healed of the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah in his battle against Hazael, king of Aram. Then Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to visit him there in his illness.	29 فرجع يورام الملك ليبرأ في يزرعيل من الجروح التي جرحه بها الاراميون في راموت عند مقاتلته حزائيل ملك ارام. ونزل اخزيا بن يهورام ملك يهوذا ليرى يورام بن اخآب في يزرعيل لانه كان مريضا
