1 GLT فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ مَرِضَ أَبِيَّا بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ. BSB BSB: At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill,
2 GLT فَقَالَ يَرُبْعَامُ لِٱمْرَأَتِهِ:«قُومِي غَيِّرِي شَكْلَكِ حَتَّى لَا يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّكِ ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ وَٱذْهَبِي إِلَى شِيلُوهَ. هُوَذَا هُنَاكَ أَخِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ عَنِّي إِنِّي أَمْلِكُ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ. BSB BSB: and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Now get up, disguise yourself so they will not recognize you as my wife, and go to Shiloh. For Ahijah the prophet is there; it was he who spoke about my kingship over this people.
3 GLT وَخُذِي بِيَدِكِ عَشْرَةَ أَرْغِفَةٍ وَكَعْكًا وَجَرَّةَ عَسَلٍ، وَسِيرِي إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُخْبِرُكِ مَاذَا يَكُونُ لِلْغُلَامِ». BSB BSB: Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the boy.”
4 GLT فَفَعَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ هَكَذَا، وَقَامَتْ وَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى شِيلُوهَ وَدَخَلَتْ بَيْتَ أَخِيَّا. وَكَانَ أَخِيَّا لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُبْصِرَ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِسَبَبِ شَيْخُوخَتِهِ. BSB BSB: Jeroboam’s wife did as instructed; she arose and went to Shiloh and arrived at Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.
5 GLT وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَخِيَّا:«هُوَذَا ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ آتِيَةٌ لِتَسْأَلَ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱبْنِهَا لِأَنَّهُ مَرِيضٌ. فَقُلْ لَهَا: كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَإِنَّهَا عِنْدَ دُخُولِهَا تَتَنَكَّرُ». BSB BSB: But the LORD had said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill. You are to say such and such to her, because when she arrives, she will be disguised.”
6 GLT فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَخِيَّا حِسَّ رِجْلَيْهَا وَهِيَ دَاخِلَةٌ فِي ٱلْبَابِ قَالَ:«ٱدْخُلِي يَا ٱمْرَأَةَ يَرُبْعَامَ. لِمَاذَا تَتَنَكَّرِينَ وَأَنَا مُرْسَلٌ إِلَيْكِ بِقَوْلٍ قَاسٍ؟ BSB BSB: So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet entering the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you disguised? For I have been sent to you with bad news.
7 GLT اِذْهَبِي قُولِي لِيَرُبْعَامَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي قَدْ رَفَعْتُكَ مِنْ وَسْطِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَجَعَلْتُكَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، BSB BSB: Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I raised you up from among the people and appointed you ruler over My people Israel.
8 GLT وَشَقَقْتُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَأَعْطَيْتُكَ إِيَّاهَا، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ كَعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ ٱلَّذِي حَفِظَ وَصَايَايَ وَٱلَّذِي سَارَ وَرَائِي بِكُلِّ قَلْبِهِ لِيَفْعَلَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فَقَطْ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، BSB BSB: I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you. But you have not been like My servant David, who kept My commandments and followed Me with all his heart, doing only what was right in My eyes.
9 GLT وَقَدْ سَاءَ عَمَلُكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلَكَ، فَسِرْتَ وَعَمِلْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَمَسْبُوكَاتٍ لِتُغِيظَنِي، وَقَدْ طَرَحْتَنِي وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِكَ. BSB BSB: You have done more evil than all who came before you. You have proceeded to make for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me, and you have flung Me behind your back.
10 GLT لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرًّا عَلَى بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَأَقْطَعُ لِيَرُبْعَامَ كُلَّ بَائِلٍ بِحَائِطٍ مَحْجُوزًا وَمُطْلَقًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنْزِعُ آخِرَ بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ كَمَا يُنْزَعُ ٱلْبَعْرُ حَتَّى يَفْنَى. BSB BSB: Because of all this, behold, I am bringing disaster on the house of Jeroboam: I will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both slave and free, in Israel; I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns up dung until it is gone!
11 GLT مَنْ مَاتَ لِيَرُبْعَامَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تَأْكُلُهُ ٱلْكِلَابُ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ تَأْكُلُهُ طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمَ. BSB BSB: Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.’ For the LORD has spoken.
12 GLT وَأَنْتِ فَقُومِي وَٱنْطَلِقِي إِلَى بَيْتِكِ، وَعِنْدَ دُخُولِ رِجْلَيْكِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ يَمُوتُ ٱلْوَلَدُ، BSB BSB: As for you, get up and go home. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.
13 GLT وَيَنْدُبُهُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَدْفِنُونَهُ، لِأَنَّ هَذَا وَحْدَهُ مِنْ يَرُبْعَامَ يَدْخُلُ ٱلْقَبْرَ، لِأَنَّهُ وُجِدَ فِيهِ أَمْرٌ صَالِحٌ نَحْوَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ. BSB BSB: All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. For this is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will receive a proper burial, because only in him has the LORD, the God of Israel, found any good in the house of Jeroboam.
14 GLT وَيُقِيمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقْرِضُ بَيْتَ يَرُبْعَامَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ. وَمَاذَا؟ اَلْآنَ أَيْضًا! BSB BSB: Moreover, the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day—yes, even today!
15 GLT وَيَضْرِبُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَٱهْتِزَازِ ٱلْقَصَبِ فِي ٱلْمَاءِ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ، وَيُبَدِّدُهُمْ إِلَى عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا سَوَارِيَهُمْ وَأَغَاظُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. BSB BSB: For the LORD will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
16 GLT وَيَدْفَعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْطَأَ وَجَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ». BSB BSB: So He will give Israel over on account of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
17 GLT فَقَامَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ يَرُبْعَامَ وَذَهَبَتْ وَجَاءَتْ إِلَى تِرْصَةَ، وَلَمَّا وَصَلَتْ إِلَى عَتَبَةِ ٱلْبَابِ مَاتَ ٱلْغُلَامُ، BSB BSB: Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and departed for Tirzah, and as soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died.
18 GLT فَدَفَنَهُ وَنَدَبَهُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ أَخِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيِّ. BSB BSB: And they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 GLT وَأَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَرُبْعَامَ، كَيْفَ حَارَبَ وَكَيْفَ مَلَكَ، فَإِنَّهَا مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
