II Kings 8

وَكَلَّمَ أَلِيشَعُ الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي أَحْيَا ابْنَهَا قَائِلاً: «قُومِي وَانْطَلِقِي أَنْتِ وَبَيْتُكِ وَتَغَرَّبِي حَيْثُمَا تَتَغَرَّبِي، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ دَعَا بِجُوعٍ فَيَأْتِي أَيْضًا عَلَى الأَرْضِ سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ».

Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.

فَقَامَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَفَعَلَتْ حَسَبَ كَلاَمِ رَجُلِ اللهِ، وَانْطَلَقَتْ هِيَ وَبَيْتُهَا وَتَغَرَّبَتْ فِي أَرْضِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ.

And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

وَفِي نِهَايَةِ السِّنِينِ السَّبْعِ رَجَعَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَخَرَجَتْ لِتَصْرُخَ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ لأَجْلِ بَيْتِهَا وَحَقْلِهَا.

And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.

وَكَلَّمَ الْمَلِكُ جِيحْزِيَ غُلاَمَ رَجُلِ اللهِ قَائِلاً: «قُصَّ عَلَيَّ جَمِيعَ الْعَظَائِمِ الَّتِي فَعَلَهَا أَلِيشَعُ».

And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَقُصُّ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ كَيْفَ أَنَّهُ أَحْيَا الْمَيْتَ، إِذَا بِالْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي أَحْيَا ابْنَهَا تَصْرُخُ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ لأَجْلِ بَيْتِهَا وَحَقْلِهَا. فَقَالَ جِيحْزِي: «يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ، هذِهِ هِيَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَهذَا هُوَ ابْنُهَا الَّذِي أَحْيَاهُ أَلِيشَعُ».

And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.

فَسَأَلَ الْمَلِكُ الْمَرْأَةَ فَقَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ ذلِكَ، فَأَعْطَاهَا الْمَلِكُ خَصِيًّا قَائِلاً: «أَرْجعْ كُلَّ مَا لَهَا وَجَمِيعَ غَلاَّتِ الْحَقْلِ مِنْ حِينَِ تَرَكَتِ الأَرْضَ إِلَى الآنَ».

And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.

وَجَاءَ أَلِيشَعُ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ. وَكَانَ بَنْهَدَدُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ مَرِيضًا، فَأُخْبِرَ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «قَدْ جَاءَ رَجُلُ اللهِ إِلَى هُنَا».

And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben–hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.

فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِحَزَائِيلَ: «خُذْ بِيَدِكَ هَدِيَّةً وَاذْهَبْ لاسْتِقْبَالِ رَجُلِ اللهِ، وَاسْأَلِ الرَّبَّ بِهِ قَائِلاً: هَلْ أَشْفَى مِنْ مَرَضِي هذَا؟».

And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

فَذَهَبَ حَزَائِيلُ لاسْتِقْبَالِهِ وَأَخَذَ هَدِيَّةً بِيَدِهِ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرَاتِ دِمَشْقَ حِمْلَ أَرْبَعِينَ جَمَلاً، وَجَاءَ وَوَقَفَ أَمَامَهُ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ ابْنَكَ بَنْهَدَدَ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ قَائِلاً: هَلْ أُشْفَى مِنْ مَرَضِي هذَا؟»

So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben–hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

فَقَالَ لَهُ أَلِيشَعُ: «اذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لَهُ: شِفَاءً تُشْفَى. وَقَدْ أَرَانِي الرَّبُّ أَنَّهُ يَمُوتُ مَوْتًا».

And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die.

فَجَعَلَ نَظَرَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَثَبَّتَهُ حَتَّى خَجِلَ، فَبَكَى رَجُلُ اللهِ.

And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.

فَقَالَ حَزَائِيلُ: «لِمَاذَا يَبْكِي سَيِّدِي؟» فَقَالَ: «لأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ مَا سَتَفْعَلُهُ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ، فَإِنَّكَ تُطْلِقُ النَّارَ فِي حُصُونِهِمْ، وَتَقْتُلُ شُبَّانَهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَتُحَطِّمُ أَطْفَالَهُمْ، وَتَشُقُّ حَوَامِلَهُمْ».

And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.

فَقَالَ حَزَائِيلُ: «وَمَنْ هُوَ عَبْدُكَ الْكَلْبُ حَتَّى يَفْعَلَ هذَا الأَمْرَ الْعَظِيمَ؟» فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «قَدْ أَرَانِي الرَّبُّ إِيَّاكَ مَلِكًا عَلَى أَرَامَ».

And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.

فَانْطَلَقَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَلِيشَعَ وَدَخَلَ إِلَى سَيِّدِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَاذَا قَالَ لَكَ أَلِيشَعُ؟» فَقَالَ: «قَالَ لِي إِنَّكَ تَحْيَا».

So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.

وَفِي الْغَدِ أَخَذَ اللِّبْدَةَ وَغَمَسَهَا بِالْمَاءِ، وَنَشَرَهَا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَمَاتَ، وَمَلَكَ حَزَائِيلُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.

وَفِي السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ لِيُورَامَ بْنِ أَخْآبَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ يَهُورَامُ بْنُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.

And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.

كَانَ ابْنَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلاَثِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ ثَمَانِي سِنِينٍَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

وَسَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا فَعَلَ بَيْتُ أَخْآبَ، لأَنَّ بِنْتَ أَخْآبَ كَانَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةً، وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ.

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

وَلَمْ يَشَإِ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يُبِيدَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِهِ، كَمَا قَالَ إِنَّهُ يُعْطِيهِ سِرَاجًا وَلِبَنِيهِ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ.

Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children.

فِي أَيَّامِهِ عَصَى أَدُومُ مِنْ تَحْتِ يَدِ يَهُوذَا وَمَلَّكُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ مَلِكًا.

In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

وَعَبَرَ يُورَامُ إِلَى صَعِيرَ وَجَمِيعُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ مَعَهُ، وَقَامَ لَيْلاً وَضَرَبَ أَدُومَ الْمُحِيطَ بِهِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ. وَهَرَبَ الشَّعْبُ إِلَى خِيَامِهِمْ.

So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.

وَعَصَى أَدُومُ مِنْ تَحْتِ يَدِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ. حِينَئِذٍ عَصَتْ لِبْنَةُ فِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ.

Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُورَامَ وَكُلُّ مَا صَنَعَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ الأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

وَاضْطَجَعَ يُورَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ أَخَزْيَا ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِيُورَامَ بْنِ أَخْآبَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلَكَ أَخَزْيَا بْنُ يَهُورَامَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.

In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.

وَكَانَ أَخَزْيَا ابْنَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَنَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ عَثَلْيَا بِنْتُ عُمْرِي مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.

وَسَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ، وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ كَبَيْتِ أَخْآبَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ صِهْرَ بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ.

And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab.

وَانْطَلَقَ مَعَ يُورَامَ بْنِ أَخْآبَ لِمُقَاتَلَةِ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ فِي رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ، فَضَرَبَ الأَرَامِيُّونَ يُورَامَ.

And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth–gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.

فَرَجَعَ يُورَامُ الْمَلِكُ لِيَبْرَأَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ مِنَ الْجُرُوحِ الَّتِي جَرَحَهُ بِهَا الأَرَامِيُّونَ فِي رَامُوتَ عِنْدَ مُقَاتَلَتِهِ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ. وَنَزَلَ أَخَزْيَا بْنُ يَهُورَامَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لِيَرَى يُورَامَ بْنَ أَخْآبَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مَرِيضًا.

And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
