1 Re ( ملوك) 22

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 واقاموا ثلاث سنين بدون حرب بين ارام واسرائيل.	1 And there passed three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 وفي السنة الثالثة نزل يهوشافاط ملك يهوذا الى ملك اسرائيل.	2 And in the third year, Josaphat king of Juda came down to the king of Israel.
3 فقال ملك اسرائيل لعبيده أتعلمون ان راموت جلعاد لنا ونحن ساكتون عن اخذها من يد ملك ارام.	3 (And the king of Israel said to his servants: Know ye not-that Ramoth Galaad is ours, and we neglect to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?)
4 وقال ليهوشافاط أتذهب معي للحرب الى راموت جلعاد. فقال يهوشافاط لملك اسرائيل مثلي مثلك. شعبي كشعبك وخيلي كخيلك.	4 And he said to Josaphat: Wilt thou come with me to battle to Ramoth Galaad ?
5 ثم قال يهوشافاط لملك اسرائيل اسأل اليوم عن كلام الرب.	5 And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: As I am, so art thou: my people and thy people are one: and my horsemen, thy horsemen. And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee, this day, the word of the Lord.
6 فجمع ملك اسرائيل الانبياء نحو اربع مئة رجل وقال لهم. أأذهب الى راموت جلعاد للقتال ام امتنع. فقالوا اصعد فيدفعها السيد ليد الملك.	6 Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall I forbear? They answered: Go up, and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 فقال يهوشافاط أما يوجد هنا بعد نبي للرب فنسأل منه.	7 And Josaphat said: Is there not here some prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire by him?
8 فقال ملك اسرائيل ليهوشافاط انه يوجد بعد رجل واحد لسؤال الرب به ولكني ابغضه لانه لا يتنبأ عليّ خيرا بل شرا وهو ميخا بن يملة. فقال يهوشافاط لا يقل الملك هكذا.	8 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man left, by whom we may inquire of the Lord: Micheas the son of Jemla; but I hate him, for he doth not prophesy good to me, but evil. And Josaphat said: Speak not so, O king.
9 فدعا ملك اسرائيل خصيا وقال اسرع اليّ بميخا بن يملة.	9 Then the king of Israel called an eunuch, and said to him: Make haste, and bring hither Micheas the son of Jemla.
10 وكان ملك اسرائيل ويهوشافاط ملك يهوذا جالسين كل واحد على كرسيه لابسين ثيابهما في ساحة عند مدخل باب السامرة وجميع الانبياء يتنبأون امامهما.	10 Then the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, sat each on his throne clothed with royal robes, in a court by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11 وعمل صدقيا بن كنعنة لنفسه قرني حديد وقال هكذا قال الرب بهذه تنطح الاراميين حتى يفنوا.	11 And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made himself horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it.
12 وتنبأ جميع الانبياء هكذا قائلين اصعد الى راموت جلعاد وافلح فيدفعها الرب ليد الملك	12 And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king's hands.
13 واما الرسول الذي ذهب ليدعو ميخا فكلمه قائلا هوذا كلام جميع الانبياء بفم واحد خير للملك. فليكن كلامك مثل كلام واحد منهم وتكلم بخير.	13 And the messenger, that went to call Micheas, spoke to him, saying: Behold the words of the prophets with one month declare good things to the king: let thy word therefore be like to theirs, and speak that which is good.
14 فقال ميخا حيّ هو الرب ان ما يقوله لي الرب به اتكلم.	14 But Micheas said to him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak.
15 ولما اتى الى الملك قال له الملك يا ميخا أنصعد الى راموت جلعاد للقتال ام نمتنع. فقال له اصعد وافلح فيدفعها الرب ليد الملك.	15 So he came to the king, and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall we forbear? He answered him: Go up, and prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it into the king's hands.
16 فقال له الملك كم مرة استحلفتك ان لا تقول لي الا الحق باسم الرب.	16 But the king said to him: I adjure thee again and again, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord.
17 فقال رأيت كل اسرائيل مشتّتين على الجبال كخراف لا راعي لها. فقال الرب ليس لهؤلاء اصحاب فليرجعوا كل واحد الى بيته بسلام.	17 And he said: I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no master: let every man of them return to his house in peace.
18 فقال ملك اسرائيل ليهوشافاط أما قلت لك انه لا يتنبأ عليّ خيرا بل شرا.	18 (Then the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee, that he prophesieth no good to me, but always evil ?)
19 وقال فاسمع اذا كلام الرب. قد رأيت الرب جالسا على كرسيه وكل جند السماء وقوف لديه عن يمينه وعن يساره.	19 And he added and said: Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left:
20 فقال الرب من يغوي اخآب فيصعد ويسقط في راموت جلعاد. فقال هذا هكذا وقال ذاك هكذا.	20 And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall at Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke words of this manner, and another otherwise.
21 ثم خرج الروح ووقف امام الرب وقال انا اغويه. وقال له الرب بماذا.	21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means?
22 فقال اخرج واكون روح كذب في افواه جميع انبيائه. فقال انك تغويه وتقتدر. فاخرج وافعل هكذا.	22 And he said: I will go forth, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive him, and shalt prevail: a go forth, and do so.
23 والآن هوذا قد جعل الرب روح كذب في افواه جميع انبيائك هؤلاء والرب تكلم عليك بشر.	23 Now therefore behold the Lord hath given a lying spirit in the mouth of all thy prophets that are here, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
24 فتقدم صدقيا بن كنعنة وضرب ميخا على الفكّ وقال من اين عبر روح الرب مني ليكلمك.	24 And Sedecias the son of Chanaana came, and struck Micheas on the cheek, and said: Hath then the spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to thee?
25 فقال ميخا انك سترى في ذلك اليوم الذي تدخل فيه من مخدع الى مخدع لتختبئ.	25 And Micheas said: Thou shalt see in the day when thou shalt go into a chamber within a chamber to hide thyself.
26 فقال ملك اسرائيل خذ ميخا وردّه الى آمون رئيس المدينة والى يوآش ابن الملك	26 And the king of Israel said: Take Micheas, and let him abide with Ammon the governor of the city, and with Joas the son of Amalech.
27 وقل هكذا قال الملك ضعوا هذا في السجن واطعموه خبز الضيق وماء الضيق حتى آتي بسلام.	27 And tell them: Thus saith the king: Put this man in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction, and water of distress, till I return in peace.
28 فقال ميخا ان رجعت بسلام فلم يتكلم الرب بي. وقال اسمعوا ايها الشعب اجمعون	28 And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.
29 فصعد ملك اسرائيل ويهوشافاط ملك يهوذا الى راموت جلعاد.	29 So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth Galaad.
30 فقال ملك اسرائيل ليهوشافاط اني اتنكّر وادخل الحرب. واما انت فالبس ثيابك. فتنكّر ملك اسرائيل ودخل الحرب.	30 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Take armour, and go into the battle, and put on thy own garments. But the king of Israel changed his dress, and went into the battle.
31 وامر ملك ارام رؤساء المركبات التي له الاثنين والثلاثين وقال لا تحاربوا صغيرا ولا كبيرا الا ملك اسرائيل وحده.	31 And the king of Syria had commanded the two and thirty captains of the chariots, saying: You shall not fight against any, small or great, but against the king of Israel only.
32 فلما رأى رؤساء المركبات يهوشافاط قالوا انه ملك اسرائيل فمالوا عليه ليقاتلوه فصرخ يهوشافاط.	32 So when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel, and making a violent assault they fought against him: and Josaphat cried out.
33 فلما رأى رؤساء المركبات انه ليس ملك اسرائيل رجعوا عنه.	33 And the captains of the chariots perceived that he was not the king of and they turned away from him.
34 وان رجلا نزع في قوسه غير متعمد وضرب ملك اسرائيل بين اوصال الدرع. فقال لمدير مركبته رد يدك واخرجني من الجيش لاني قد جرحت.	34 And a certain man bent his bow, shooting at a venture, and chanced to strike the king of Israel between the lungs and the stomach. But he said to the driver of his chariot: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the army, for I am grievously wounded.
35 واشتدّ القتال في ذلك اليوم وأوقف الملك في مركبته مقابل ارام ومات عند المساء وجرى دم الجرح الى حضن المركبة.	35 And the battle was fought that day, and the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died in the evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
36 وعبرت الرنّة في الجند عند غروب الشمس قائلا كل رجل الى مدينته وكل رجل الى ارضه.	36 And the herald proclaimed through all the army before the sun set, saying: Let every man return to his own city, and to his own country.
37 فمات الملك وأدخل السامرة فدفنوا الملك في السامرة.	37 And the king died, b and was carried into Samaria: and they buried the king in Samaria.
38 وغسلت المركبة في بركة السامرة فلحست الكلاب دمه. وغسلوا سلاحه. حسب كلام الرب الذي تكلم به.	38 And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and they washed the reins, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
39 وبقية أمور اخآب وكل ما فعل وبيت العاج الذي بناه وكل المدن التي بناها أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل.	39 But the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
40 فاضطجع اخآب مع آبائه وملك أخزيا ابنه عوضا عنه	40 So Achab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
41 وملك يهوشافاط ابن آسا على يهوذا في السنة الرابعة لاخآب ملك اسرائيل.	41 But Josaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Juda in the fourth year of Achab king of Israel.
42 وكان يهوشافاط ابن خمس وثلاثين سنة حين ملك وملك خمسا وعشرين سنة في اورشليم واسم امه عزوبة بنت شلحي.	42 He was five and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Salai.
43 وسار في كل طريق آسا ابيه. لم يحد عنها. اذ عمل المستقيم في عيني الرب. الا ان المرتفعات لم تنتزع بل كان الشعب لا يزال يذبح ويوقد على المرتفعات.	43 And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord.
44 وصالح يهوشافاط ملك اسرائيل.	44 Nevertheless he took not away the high places: for as Set the people offered sacrifices and burnt incense in the high places.
45 وبقية امور يهوشافاط وجبروته الذي اظهره وكيف حارب أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا.	45 And Josaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
46 وبقية المأبونين الذين بقوا في ايام آسا ابيه ابادهم من الارض.	46 But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his works which he did, and his batties, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
47 ولم يكن في ادوم ملك. ملك وكيل.	47 And the remnant also of the effeminate, who remained in the days of Asa his father, he took out of the land.
48 وعمل يهوشافاط سفن ترشيش لكي تذهب الى اوفير لاجل الذهب فلم تذهب لان السفن تكسرت في عصيون جابر.	48 And there was then no king appointed in Edom.
49 حينئذ قال اخزيا بن اخآب ليهوشافاط ليذهب عبيدي مع عبيدك في السفن. فلم يشأ يهوشافاط.	49 But king Josaphat made navies on the sea, to sail into Ophir for gold: but they could not go, for the ships were broken in Asiongaber.
50 واضطجع يهوشافاط مع آبائه ودفن مع آبائه في مدينة داود ابيه فملك يهورام ابنه عوضا عنه	50 Then Ochozias the ton of Achab said to Josaphat: Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. And Josaphat would not.
51 اخزيا ابن اخآب ملك على اسرائيل في السامرة في السنة السابعة عشرة ليهوشافاط ملك يهوذا. ملك على اسرائيل سنتين.	51 And Josaphat slept with his fathers. and was buried with them in the city of David his father: and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
52 وعمل الشر في عيني الرب وسار في طريق ابيه وطريق امه وطريق يربعام بن نباط الذي جعل اسرائيل يخطئ	52 And Ochozias the son of Achab began to reign over Israel in Samaria, in the seventeenth gear of Josaphat king of Juda, and he reigned over Israel two years,
53 وعبد البعل وسجد له واغاظ الرب اله اسرائيل حسب كل ما فعل ابوه	53 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
	54 He served also Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked the Lord the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
