SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 وعصى موآب على اسرائيل بعد وفاة اخآب	1 Then, after the death of Ahab, Moab transgressed against Israel.
2 وسقط اخزيا من الكوّة التي في علّيته التي في السامرة فمرض وارسل رسلا وقال لهم اذهبوا اسألوا بعل زبوب اله عقرون ان كنت ابرأ من هذا المرض.	2 And Ahaziah fell down through the lattices of his upper room, which he had in Samaria, and he was injured. And he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as to whether I may be able to survive this infirmity of mine.”
3 فقال ملاك الرب لايليا التشبي قم اصعد للقاء رسل ملك السامرة وقل لهم أليس لانه لا يوجد في اسرائيل اله تذهبون لتسألوا بعل زبوب اله عقرون.	3 And an Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying: “Rise up, and ascend to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria. And you shall say to them: ‘Is there not a God in Israel, so that you would go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron?
4 فلذلك هكذا قال الرب ان السرير الذي صعدت عليه لا تنزل عنه بل موتا تموت فانطلق ايليا.	4 For this reason, thus says the Lord: From the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’ ” And Elijah went away.
5 ورجع الرسل اليه فقال لهم لماذا رجعتم.	5 And the messengers returned to Ahaziah. And he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
6 فقالوا له صعد رجل للقائنا وقال لنا اذهبوا راجعين الى الملك الذي ارسلكم وقولوا له هكذا قال الرب اليس لانه لا يوجد في اسرائيل اله ارسلت لتسال بعل زبوب اله عقرون. لذلك السرير الذي صعدت عليه لا تنزل عنه بل موتا تموت.	6 But they responded to him: “A man met us, and he said to us: ‘Go, and return to the king who sent you. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that you are sending to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’ ”
7 فقال لهم ما هي هيئة الرجل الذي صعد للقائكم وكلمكم بهذا الكلام.	7 And he said to them: “What was the appearance and dress of that man, who met you and who spoke these words?”
8 فقالوا له انه رجل اشعر متنطق بمنطقة من جلد على حقويه. فقال هو ايليا التشبي.	8 So they said, “A hairy man, with a belt of leather wrapping his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah, the Tishbite.”
9 فارسل اليه رئيس خمسين مع الخمسين الذين له فصعد اليه واذا هو جالس على راس الجبل. فقال له يا رجل الله الملك يقول انزل.	9 And he sent to him a leader of fifty, with the fifty who were under him. And he ascended to him, sitting at the top of a hill, and he said, “Man of God, the king commanded that you should descend.”
10 فاجاب ايليا وقال لرئيس الخمسين ان كنت انا رجل الله فلتنزل نار من السماء وتأكلك انت والخمسين الذين لك. فنزلت نار من السماء وأكلته هو والخمسين الذين له.	10 And responding, Elijah said to the leader of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And then fire from heaven descended and devoured him and the fifty who were with him.
11 ثم عاد وارسل اليه رئيس خمسين آخر والخمسين الذين له. فاجاب وقال له يا رجل الله هكذا يقول الملك اسرع وانزل.	11 And again, he sent to him another leader of fifty, and the fifty with him. And he said to him, “Man of God, thus says the king: Hurry, descend.”
12 فاجاب ايليا وقال لهم ان كنت انا رجل الله فلتنزل نار من السماء وتأكلك انت والخمسين الذين لك. فنزلت نار الله من السماء وأكلته هو والخمسين الذين له.	12 Responding, Elijah said, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And fire from heaven descended and devoured him and his fifty.
13 ثم عاد فارسل رئيس خمسين ثالثا والخمسين الذين له. فصعد رئيس الخمسين الثالث وجاء وجثا على ركبتيه امام ايليا وتضرع اليه وقال له. يا رجل الله لتكرم نفسي وانفس عبيدك هؤلاء الخمسين في عينيك.	13 Again, he sent a third leader of fifty men and the fifty who were with him. And when he had arrived, he bent his knees before Elijah, and he pleaded with him, and said: “Man of God, do not choose to despise my life and the lives of your servants who are with me.
14 هوذا قد نزلت نار من السماء وأكلت رئيسي الخمسينين الاولين وخمسينيهما والآن فلتكرم نفسي في عينيك	14 Behold, fire from heaven descended and devoured the two previous leaders of fifty and the fifties who were with them. But now I beg you to take pity on my life.”
15 فقال ملاك الرب لايليا انزل معه. لا تخف منه. فقام ونزل معه الى الملك.	15 Then the Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, saying, “Descend with him; fear not.” And so, he arose and descended with him to the king.
16 وقال له هكذا قال الرب. من اجل انك ارسلت رسلا لتسأل بعل زبوب اله عقرون أليس لانه لا يوجد في اسرائيل اله لتسأل عن كلامه. لذلك السرير الذي صعدت عليه لا تنزل عنه بل موتا تموت.	16 And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel, from whom you would be able to seek a word, therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.”
17 فمات حسب كلام الرب الذي تكلم به ايليا. وملك يهورام عوضا عنه في السنة الثانية ليهورام بن يهوشافاط ملك يهوذا لانه لم يكن له ابن.	17 And so he died, in accord with the word of the Lord, which Elijah spoke. And Jehoram, his brother, reigned in his place, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. For he had no son.
18 وبقية أمور اخزيا التي عمل أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل	18 But the rest of the words of Ahaziah that he worked, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
