SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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.	1 Now Elisha spoke to the woman, whose son he had caused to live, saying: “Rise up. Go, you and your household, and sojourn in whatever place you can find. For the Lord has called forth a famine, and it shall overwhelm the land for seven years.”
2 فقامت المرأة وفعلت حسب كلام رجل الله وانطلقت هي وبيتها وتغربت في ارض الفلسطينيين سبع سنين	2 And she rose up, and she acted in accord with the word of the man of God. And going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.
3 وفي نهاية السنين السبع رجعت المرأة من ارض الفلسطينيين وخرجت لتصرخ الى الملك لاجل بيتها وحقلها.	3 And when the seven years had ended, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. And she departed, so that she might petition the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields.
4 وكلم الملك جيحزي غلام رجل الله قائلا قص عليّ جميع العظائم التي فعلها اليشع.	4 Now the king was speaking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Describe for me all the great deeds that Elisha has done.”
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.	5 And as he was describing for the king the manner in which he had raised the dead, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying out to the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields. And Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha raised up.”
6 فسأل الملك المرأة فقصت عليه ذلك. فاعطاها الملك خصيا قائلا ارجع كل ما لها وجميع غلات الحقل من حين تركت الارض الى الآن	6 And the king questioned the woman. And she explained it to him. And the king appointed a eunuch to her, saying, “Restore to her all that is hers, with all the proceeds of the fields, from the day that she left the land until the present.”
7 وجاء اليشع الى دمشق. وكان بنهدد ملك ارام مريضا. فأخبر وقيل له قد جاء رجل الله الى هنا.	7 Also, Elisha arrived in Damascus, and Benhadad, the king of Syria, was ill. And they reported to him, saying, “The man of God has arrived here.”
8 فقال الملك لحزائيل خذ بيدك هدية واذهب لاستقبال رجل الله واسأل الرب به قائلا هل اشفى من مرضي هذا.	8 And the king said to Hazael: “Take with you gifts. And go to meet the man of God. And consult the Lord through him, saying: ‘Will I be able to escape from this, my infirmity?’ ”
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.	9 And so, Hazael went to meet him, having with him gifts, and all the goods of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he had stood before him, he said: “Your son, Benhadad, the king of Syria, sent me to you, saying: ‘Will I be able to be healed from this, my infirmity?’ ”
10 فقال له اليشع اذهب وقل له شفاء تشفى. وقد اراني الرب انه يموت موتا.	10 And Elisha said to him: “Go, tell him: ‘You will be healed.’ But the Lord has revealed to me that, dying he shall die.”
11 فجعل نظره عليه وثبّته حتى خجل. فبكى رجل الله.	11 And he stood beside him, and he was so troubled that his face became flushed. And the man of God wept.
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.	12 And Hazael said to him, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he said: “Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel. Their fortified cities you will burn with fire. And their young men you will kill with the sword. And you will destroy their little ones, and tear open the pregnant women.”
13 فقال حزائيل ومن هو عبدك الكلب حتى يفعل هذا الأمر العظيم. فقال اليشع قد اراني الرب اياك ملكا على ارام.	13 And Hazael said, “But what am I, your servant, a dog, that I would do this great thing?” And Elisha said, “The Lord has revealed to me that you will be the king of Syria.”
14 فانطلق من عند اليشع ودخل الى سيده فقال له ماذا قال لك اليشع. فقال قال لي انك تحيا.	14 And when he had departed from Elisha, he went to his lord, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he responded: “He said to me, ‘You shall receive health.’ ”
15 وفي الغد اخذ اللبدة وغمسها بالماء ونشرها على وجهه ومات وملك حزائيل عوضا عنه	15 And when the next day had arrived, he took a small covering, and poured water on it, and he spread it over his face. And when he died, Hazael reigned in his place.
16 وفي السنة الخامسة ليورام بن اخآب ملك اسرائيل ويهوشافاط ملك يهوذا ملك يهورام بن يهوشافاط ملك يهوذا.	16 In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, and of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, reigned as the king of Judah.
17 كان ابن اثنتين وثلاثين سنة حين ملك وملك ثماني سنين في اورشليم.	17 He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.
18 وسار في طريق ملوك اسرائيل كما فعل بيت اخآب لان بنت اخآب كانت له امرأة. وعمل الشر في عيني الرب.	18 And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had walked. For the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.
19 ولم يشإ الرب ان يبيد يهوذا من اجل داود عبده كما قال انه يعطيه سراجا ولبنيه كل الايام.	19 But the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah, because of David, his servant, just as he had promised him, so that he might grant a light to him and to his sons, for all days.
20 وفي ايامه عصى ادوم من تحت يد يهوذا وملّكوا على انفسهم ملكا.	20 In his days, Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, and they appointed a king for themselves.
21 وعبر يورام الى صعير وجميع المركبات معه وقام ليلا وضرب ادوم المحيط به ورؤساء المركبات وهرب الشعب الى خيامهم.	21 And so, Jehoram went to Zair, and all the chariots with him. And he rose up in the night, and he struck down the Idumeans who had surrounded him, and the leaders of the chariots. But the people fled to their tents.
22 وعصى ادوم من تحت يد يهوذا الى هذا اليوم. حينئذ عصت لبنة في ذلك الوقت.	22 And Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, even to this day. Then Libnah also drew apart, at the same time.
23 وبقية امور يورام وكل ما صنع أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا.	23 Now the rest of the words of Jehoram, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
24 واضطجع يورام مع آبائه ودفن مع آبائه في مدينة داود وملك اخزيا ابنه عوضا عنه	24 And Jehoram slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
25 في السنة الثانية عشرة ليورام بن اخآب ملك اسرائيل ملك اخزيا بن يهورام ملك يهوذا.	25 In the twelfth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel: Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, reigned.
26 كان اخزيا ابن اثنتين وعشرين سنة حين ملك وملك سنة واحدة في اورشليم. واسم امه عثليا بنت عمري ملك اسرائيل.	26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, the king of Israel.
27 وسار في طريق بيت اخآب وعمل الشر في عيني الرب كبيت اخآب لانه كان صهر بيت اخآب.	27 And he walked in the ways of the house of Ahab. And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
28 وانطلق مع يورام بن اخآب لمقاتلة حزائيل ملك ارام في راموت جلعاد فضرب الاراميون يورام.	28 Also, he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, in order to fight against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians had wounded Joram.
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	29 And he turned back, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For the Syrians had wounded him at Ramoth, fighting against Hazael, the king of Syria. Then Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended to visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, because he was sick there.
