I Kings 15

وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، مَلَكَ أَبِيَامُ عَلَى يَهُوذَا.

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.

مَلَكَ ثَلاَثَ سِنِينٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَعْكَةُ ابْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ.

Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

وَسَارَ فِي جَمِيعِ خَطَايَا أَبِيهِ الَّتِي عَمِلَهَا قَبْلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ كَامِلاً مَعَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِهِ كَقَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

وَلكِنْ لأَجْلِ دَاوُدَ أَعْطَاهُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُهُ سِرَاجًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِذْ أَقَامَ ابْنَهُ بَعْدَهُ وَثَبَّتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

لأَنَّ دَاوُدَ عَمِلَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا أَوْصَاهُ بِهِ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، إِلاَّ فِي قَضِيَّةِ أُورِيَّا الْحِثِّيِّ.

Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ رَحُبْعَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَبِيَامَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ الأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ أَبِيَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ.

Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ أَبِيَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ آسَا ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

وَفِي السَّنَةِ الْعِشْرِينَ لِيَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلَكَ آسَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا.

And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.

مَلَكَ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَعْكَةُ ابْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ.

And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

وَعَمِلَ آسَا مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ،

And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

وَأَزَالَ الْمَأْبُونِينَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَنَزَعَ جَمِيعَ الأَصْنَامِ الَّتِي عَمِلَهَا آبَاؤُهُ،

And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

حَتَّى إِنَّ مَعْكَةَ أُمَّهُ خَلَعَهَا مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلِكَةً، لأَنَّهَا عَمِلَتْ تِمْثَالاً لِسَارِيَةٍ، وَقَطَعَ آسَا تِمْثَالَهَا وَأَحْرَقَهُ فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ.

And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

وَأَمَّا الْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ فَلَمْ تُنْزَعْ، إِلاَّ إِنَّ قَلْبَ آسَا كَانَ كَامِلاً مَعَ الرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ.

But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.

وَأَدْخَلَ أَقْدَاسَ أَبِيهِ وَأَقْدَاسَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَالآنِيَةِ.

And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.

وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِمَا.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

وَصَعِدَ بَعْشَا مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَبَنَى الرَّامَةَ لِكَيْ لاَ يَدَعَ أَحَدًا يَخْرُجُ أَوْ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.

And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

وَأَخَذَ آسَا جَمِيعَ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ الْبَاقِيَةِ فِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ وَدَفَعَهَا لِيَدِ عَبِيدِهِ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمُ الْمَلِكُ آسَا إِلَى بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ طَبْرِيمُونَ بْنِ حَزْيُونَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ السَّاكِنِ فِي دِمَشْقَ قَائِلاً:

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben–hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

«إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ أَبِي وَأَبِيكَ عَهْدًا. هُوَذَا قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ لَكَ هَدِيَّةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، فَتَعَالَ انْقُضْ عَهْدَكَ مَعَ بَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَصْعَدَ عَنِّي».

There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

فَسَمِعَ بَنْهَدَدُ لِلْمَلِكِ آسَا وَأَرْسَلَ رُؤَسَاءَ الْجُيُوشِ الَّتِي لَهُ عَلَى مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَضَرَبَ عُيُونَ وَدَانَ وَآبَلَ بَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ وَكُلَّ كِنَّرُوتَ مَعَ كُلِّ أَرْضِ نَفْتَالِي.

So Ben–hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel–beth–maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بَعْشَا كَفَّ عَنْ بِنَاءِ الرَّامَةِ وَأَقَامَ فِي تِرْصَةَ.

And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

فَاسْتَدْعَى الْمَلِكُ آسَا كُلَّ يَهُوذَا. لَمْ يَكُنْ بَرِيءٌ. فَحَمَلُوا كُلَّ حِجَارَةِ الرَّامَةِ وَأَخْشَابِهَا الَّتِي بَنَاهَا بَعْشَا، وَبَنَى بِهَا الْمَلِكُ آسَا جَبْعَ بَنْيَامِينَ وَالْمِصْفَاةَ.

Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

وَبَقِيَّةُ كُلِّ أُمُورِ آسَا وَكُلُّ جَبَرُوتِهِ وَكُلُّ مَا فَعَلَ وَالْمُدُنِ الَّتِي بَنَاهَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ الأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ فِي زَمَانِ شَيْخُوخَتِهِ مَرِضَ فِي رِجْلَيْهِ.

The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ آسَا مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَمَلَكَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

وَمَلَكَ نَادَابُ بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فَمَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ سَنَتَيْنِ.

And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.

وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَسَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ أَبِيهِ وَفِي خَطِيَّتِهِ الَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

وَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا مِنْ بَيْتِ يَسَّاكَرَ، وَضَرَبَهُ بَعْشَا فِي جِبَّثُونَ الَّتِي لِلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَكَانَ نَادَابُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُحَاصِرِينَ جِبَّثُونَ.

And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.

وَأَمَاتَهُ بَعْشَا فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَمَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.

وَلَمَّا مَلَكَ ضَرَبَ كُلَّ بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ. لَمْ يُبْقِ نَسَمَةً لِيَرُبْعَامَ حَتَّى أَفْنَاهُمْ، حَسَبَ كَلاَمِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ أَخِيَّا الشِّيلُونِيِّ،

And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:

لأَجْلِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ الَّتِي أَخْطَأَهَا وَالَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ بِإِغَاظَتِهِ الَّتِي أَغَاظَ بِهَا الرَّبَّ إِلهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ نَادَابَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ الأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِمَا.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تِرْصَةَ أَرْبَعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.

وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَسَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَفِي خَطِيَّتِهِ الَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
