1 Re ( ملوك) 19

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 واخبر اخآب ايزابل بكل ما عمل ايليا وكيف انه قتل جميع الانبياء بالسيف.	1 And Achab told Jezabel all that Elias had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 فارسلت ايزابل رسولا الى ايليا تقول هكذا تفعل الآلهة وهكذا تزيد ان لم اجعل نفسك كنفس واحد منهم في نحو هذا الوقت غدا.	2 And Jezabel sent a messenger to Elias, saying: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and add still more, if by this hour to morrow I make not thy life as the life of one of them.
3 فلما رأى ذلك قام ومضى لاجل نفسه وأتى الى بئر سبع التي ليهوذا وترك غلامه هناك.	3 Then Elias was afraid, and rising up he went whithersoever he had a mind: and he came to Bersabee of Juda, and left his servant there,
4 ثم سار في البرية مسيرة يوم حتى أتى وجلس تحت رتمة وطلب الموت لنفسه وقال قد كفى الآن يا رب خذ نفسي لانني لست خيرا من آبائي.	4 And he went forward, one day's journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord, take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers.
5 واضطجع ونام تحت الرتمة واذا بملاك قد مسّه وقال قم وكل.	5 And he cast himself down, end slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat.
6 فتطلع واذا كعكة رضف وكوز ماء عند راسه فأكل وشرب ثم رجع فاضطجع.	6 He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again.
7 ثم عاد ملاك الرب ثانية فمسّه وقال قم وكل لان المسافة كثيرة عليك.	7 And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said to him: Arise, eat: for thou hast yet a great way to go.
8 فقام وأكل وشرب وسار بقوة تلك الأكلة اربعين نهارا واربعين ليلة الى جبل الله حوريب	8 And he arose, and ate, and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb.
9 ودخل هناك المغارة وبات فيها وكان كلام الرب اليه يقول ما لك ههنا يا ايليا.	9 And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave: and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him: What dost thou here, Elias?
10 فقال قد غرت غيرة للرب اله الجنود لان بني اسرائيل قد تركوا عهدك ونقضوا مذابحك وقتلوا انبياءك بالسيف فبقيت انا وحدي وهم يطلبون نفسي ليأخذوها.	10 And he answered: With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have thrown down thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
11 فقال اخرج وقف على الجبل امام الرب. واذا بالرب عابر وريح عظيمة وشديدة قد شقت الجبال وكسرت الصخور امام الرب ولم يكن الرب في الريح. وبعد الريح زلزلة ولم يكن الرب في الزلزلة	11 And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord over throwing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: the Lord is not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake: the Lord is not in the earthquake.
12 وبعد الزلزلة نار ولم يكن الرب في النار. وبعد النار صوت منخفض خفيف.	12 And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not in the fire, and after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.
13 فلما سمع ايليا لف وجهه بردائه وخرج ووقف في باب المغارة. واذا بصوت اليه يقول ما لك ههنا يا ايليا.	13 And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered:
14 فقال غرت غيرة للرب اله الجنود لان بني اسرائيل قد تركوا عهدك ونقضوا مذابحك وقتلوا انبياءك بالسيف فبقيت انا وحدي وهم يطلبون نفسي ليأخذوها.	14 With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
15 فقال له الرب اذهب راجعا في طريقك الى برية دمشق وادخل وامسح حزائيل ملكا على ارام	15 And the Lord said to him: Go, and return on thy way through the desert to Damascus: and when thou art come thither, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
16 وامسح ياهو بن نمشي ملكا على اسرائيل وامسح اليشع بن شافاط من آبل محولة نبيا عوضا عنك.	16 And thou shalt anoint Jehu the son of Namsi to be king over Israel: and Eliseus the son of Saphat, of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoint to be prophet in thy room.
17 فالذي ينجو من سيف حزائيل يقتله ياهو والذي ينجو من سيف ياهو يقتله اليشع.	17 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall escape the sword of Hazael, shall be slain by Jehu: and whosoever shall escape the sword of Jehu, shall be slain by Eliseus.
18 وقد ابقيت في اسرائيل سبعة آلاف كل الركب التي لم تجث للبعل وكل فم لم يقبّله	18 And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him kissing the hands.
19 فذهب من هناك ووجد اليشع بن شافاط يحرث واثنا عشر فدان بقر قدامه وهو مع الثاني عشر فمرّ ايليا به وطرح رداءه عليه.	19 And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him.
20 فترك البقر وركض وراء ايليا وقال دعني اقبل ابي وامي واسير وراءك. فقال له اذهب راجعا لاني ماذا فعلت لك.	20 And he forthwith left the oxen and ran after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee.
21 فرجع من ورائه واخذ فدان بقر وذبحهما وسلق اللحم بأدوات البقر واعطى الشعب فأكلوا. ثم قام ومضى وراء ايليا وكان يخدمه	21 And returning back from him, he took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled the flesh with the plough of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and rising up he went away, and followed Elias, and ministered to him.
