II Kings 1

vayyifsha mo'av beyisra'el akhare mot akhav

After Ahab’s death, Moab rebelled against Israel.

vayyippol akhazyah be'ad hassevakhah ba'aliyyato asher beshomeron vayyakhal vayyishlakh malakhim vayyomer alehem lekhu dirshu beva'al zevuv elohe eqron im-ekhyeh mekholi zeh

Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber at Samaria and was injured. So he sent messengers, whom he instructed: “Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this injury.”

umalakh Adonai dibber el-eliyyah hattishbi qum aleh liqrat malakhe melekh-shomeron vedabber alehem hamibbeli en-elohim beyisra'el attem holekhim lidrosh beva'al zevuv elohe eqron

But an angel of GOD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go and confront the messengers of the king of Samaria and say to them, ‘Is there no God in Israel that you go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

velakhen koh-amar Adonai hammittah asher-alita sham lo-tered mimmennah ki mot tamut vayyelekh eliyyah

Assuredly, thus said GOD: You shall not rise from the bed you are lying on, but you shall die.’” And Elijah went.

vayyashuvu hammalakhim elayw vayyomer alehem mah-zzeh shavtem

The messengers returned to Ahaziah; and he asked, “Why have you come back?”

vayyomeru elayw ish alah liqratenu vayyomer elenu lekhu shuvu el-hammelekh asher-shalakh etkhem vedibbartem elayw koh amar Adonai hamibbeli en-elohim beyisra'el attah sholeakh lidrosh beva'al zevuv elohe eqron lakhen hammittah asher-alita sham lo-tered mimmennah ki-mot tamut

They answered him, “A man came toward us and said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you, and say to him: Thus said the ETERNAL: Is there no God in Israel that you must send to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Assuredly, you shall not rise from the bed you are lying on, but shall die.’”

vayedabber alehem meh mishpat ha'ish asher alah liqratkhem vayedabber alekhem et-haddevarim ha'elleh

“What sort of man was it,” he asked them, “who came toward you and said these things to you?”

vayyomeru elayw ish ba'al se'ar ve'ezor or azur bemotnayw vayyomar eliyyah hattishbi hu

“A hairy man,” they replied, “with a leather belt tied around his waist.” “That’s Elijah the Tishbite!” he said.

vayyishlakh elayw sar-khamishim vakhamishayw vayya'al elayw vehinneh yoshev al-rosh hahar vayedabber elayw ish ha'elohim hammelekh dibber redah

Then he sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty men. He climbed up to him, and found him sitting at the top of a hill. “Agent of God,” he said to him, “by order of the king, come down!”

vayya'aneh eliyyahu vayedabber el-sar hakhamishim ve'im-ish elohim ani tered esh min-hashamayim vetokhal otekha ve'et-khamishekha vattered esh min-hashamayim vattokhal oto ve'et-khamishayw

Elijah replied to the captain of the fifty, “If I am an agent of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you with your fifty men!” And fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.

vayyashov vayyishlakh elayw sar-khamishim akher vakhamishayw vayya'an vayedabber elayw ish ha'elohim koh-amar hammelekh meherah redah

The king then sent to him another captain with his fifty men; and he addressed him as follows: “Agent of God, by order of the king, come down at once!”

vayya'an eliyyah vayedabber alehem im-ish ha'elohim ani tered esh min-hashamayim vetokhal otekha ve'et-khamishekha vattered esh-elohim min-hashamayim vattokhal oto ve'et-khamishayw

But Elijah answered him, “If I am an agent of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you with your fifty men!” And fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.

vayyashov vayyishlakh sar-khamishim shelishim vakhamishayw vayya'al vayyavo sar-hakhamishim hashelishi vayyikhra al-birkayw leneged eliyyahu vayyitkhannen elayw vayedabber elayw ish ha'elohim tiqar-na nafshi venefesh avadekha elleh khamishim be'enekha

Then he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men. The third captain of fifty climbed to the top, knelt before Elijah, and implored him, saying, “Oh, agent of God, please have regard for my life and the lives of these fifty servants of yours!

hinneh yaredah esh min-hashamayim vattokhal et-shene sare hakhamishim harishonim ve'et-khamishehem ve'attah tiqar nafshi be'enekha

Already fire has come from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty and their men; I beg you, have regard for my life!”

vayedabber malakh Adonai el-eliyyahu red oto al-tira mippanayw vayyaqom vayyered oto el-hammelekh

Then the angel of GOD said to Elijah, “Go down with him, do not be afraid of him.” So he rose and went down with him to the king.

vayedabber elayw koh-amar Adonai ya'an asher-shalakhta malakhim lidrosh beva'al zevuv elohe eqron hamibbeli en-elohim beyisra'el lidrosh bidvaro lakhen hammittah asher-alita sham lo-tered mimmennah ki-mot tamut

He said to him, “Thus said GOD: Because you sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron—as if there were no God in Israel whose word you could seek—assuredly, you shall not rise from the bed that you are lying on; but you shall die.”

vayyamot kidvar Adonai asher-dibber eliyyahu vayyimlokh yehoram takhtayw bishnat shetayim lihoram ben-yehoshafat melekh yehudah ki lo-hayah lo ben

And [Ahaziah] died, according to the word of GOD that Elijah had spoken. Jehoram succeeded him as king, in the second year of King Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat of Judah, for he had no son.

veyeter divre akhazyahu asher asah halo-hemmah khetuvim al-sefer divre hayyamim lemalkhe yisra'el

The other events of Ahaziah’s reign [and] his actions are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Israel.
