2 Rois 1
Louis Segond
1 Moab se révolta contre Israël, après la mort d'Achab.
2 Or Achazia tomba par le treillis de sa chambre haute à Samarie, et il en fut malade. Il fit partir des messagers, et leur dit: Allez, consultez Baal Zebub, dieu d'Ékron, pour savoir si je guérirai de cette maladie.
3 Mais l'ange de l'Éternel dit à Élie, le Thischbite: Lève-toi, monte à la rencontre des messagers du roi de Samarie, et dis-leur: Est-ce parce qu'il n'y a point de Dieu en Israël que vous allez consulter Baal Zebub, dieu d'Ékron?
4 C'est pourquoi ainsi parle l'Éternel: Tu ne descendras pas du lit sur lequel tu es monté, car tu mourras. Et Élie s'en alla.
5 Les messagers retournèrent auprès d'Achazia. Et il leur dit: Pourquoi revenez-vous?
6 Ils lui répondirent: Un homme est monté à notre rencontre, et nous a dit: Allez, retournez vers le roi qui vous a envoyés, et dites-lui: Ainsi parle l'Éternel: Est-ce parce qu'il n'y a point de Dieu en Israël que tu envoies consulter Baal Zebub, dieu d'Ékron? C'est pourquoi tu ne descendras pas du lit sur lequel tu es monté, car tu mourras.
7 Achazia leur dit: Quel air avait l'homme qui est monté à votre rencontre et qui vous a dit ces paroles?
8 Ils lui répondirent: C'était un homme vêtu de poil et ayant une ceinture de cuir autour des reins. Et Achazia dit: C'est Élie, le Thischbite.
9 Il envoya vers lui un chef de cinquante avec ses cinquante hommes. Ce chef monta auprès d'Élie, qui était assis sur le sommet de la montagne, et il lui dit: Homme de Dieu, le roi a dit: Descends!
10 Élie répondit au chef de cinquante: Si je suis un homme de Dieu, que le feu descende du ciel et te consume, toi et tes cinquante hommes! Et le feu descendit du ciel et le consuma, lui et ses cinquante hommes.
11 Achazia envoya de nouveau vers lui un autre chef de cinquante avec ses cinquante hommes. Ce chef prit la parole et dit à Élie: Homme de Dieu, ainsi a dit le roi: Hâte-toi de descendre!
12 Élie leur répondit: Si je suis un homme de Dieu, que le feu descende du ciel et te consume, toi et tes cinquante hommes! Et le feu de Dieu descendit du ciel et le consuma, lui et ses cinquante hommes.
13 Achazia envoya de nouveau un troisième chef de cinquante avec ses cinquante hommes. Ce troisième chef de cinquante monta; et à son arrivée, il fléchit les genoux devant Élie, et lui dit en suppliant: Homme de Dieu, que ma vie, je te prie, et que la vie de ces cinquante hommes tes serviteurs soit précieuse à tes yeux!
14 Voici, le feu est descendu du ciel et a consumé les deux premiers chefs de cinquante et leurs cinquante hommes: mais maintenant, que ma vie soit précieuse à tes yeux!
15 L'ange de l'Éternel dit à Élie: Descends avec lui, n'aie aucune crainte de lui. Élie se leva et descendit avec lui vers le roi.
16 Il lui dit: Ainsi parle l'Éternel: Parce que tu as envoyé des messagers pour consulter Baal Zebub, dieu d'Ékron, comme s'il n'y avait en Israël point de Dieu dont on puisse consulter la parole, tu ne descendras pas du lit sur lequel tu es monté, car tu mourras.
17 Achazia mourut, selon la parole de l'Éternel prononcée par Élie. Et Joram régna à sa place, la seconde année de Joram, fils de Josaphat, roi de Juda; car il n'avait point de fils.
18 Le reste des actions d'Achazia, et ce qu'il a fait, cela n'est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois d'Israël?
2 Regi 1

Judecata Domnului asupra lui Ahazia
1 După moartea lui Ahab, Moab s-a răsculat împotriva lui Israel. 2 S-a întâmplat că Ahazia a căzut prin grilajul odăii lui de sus din palatul Samariei şi a zăcut la pat. Atunci a trimis nişte mesageri, zicându-le: „Duceţi-vă şi întrebaţi-l pe Baal-Zebub[a], zeul Ekronului, dacă mă voi vindeca de boala aceasta.“
3 Dar un înger[b] al Domnului i-a zis lui Ilie[c] tişbitul: „Scoală-te, du-te să-i întâlneşti pe mesagerii regelui Samariei şi spune-le: «Oare nu este Dumnezeu în Israel, de mergeţi să-l întrebaţi pe Baal-Zebub, zeul Ekronului? 4 De aceea aşa vorbeşte Domnul: ‘Nu te vei mai da jos din patul în care te-ai suit, ci vei muri cu siguranţă!’»“ Apoi Ilie a plecat. 5 Când mesagerii s-au întors la rege, el i-a întrebat:
– De ce v-aţi întors?
6 – Ne-am întâlnit cu un om, i-au răspuns ei, care ne-a zis astfel: „Întoarceţi-vă la regele care v-a trimis şi spuneţi-i: «Aşa vorbeşte Domnul: ‘Oare nu este Dumnezeu în Israel, de ai trimis să-l întrebe pe
Baal-Zebub, zeul Ekronului? De aceea nu te vei mai da jos din patul în care te-ai suit, ci vei muri cu siguranţă!’»“
7 – Cum arăta bărbatul care v-a întâlnit şi care v-a spus aceste cuvinte? i-a întrebat el.
8 – Era un om îmbrăcat cu o manta de păr şi încins la mijloc cu o curea de piele, i-au răspuns ei.
– Este Ilie tişbitul, a zis el.
9 Atunci a trimis la el o căpetenie peste cincizeci de oameni, împreună cu cei cincizeci de oameni ai acestuia. Căpetenia a venit la Ilie, care stătea pe vârful unui deal şi i-a zis:
– Omule al lui Dumnezeu, regele îţi porunceşte să cobori!
10 Dar Ilie i-a răspuns căpeteniei:
– Dacă sunt un om al lui Dumnezeu, să se coboare foc din cer şi să te mistuie pe tine şi pe cei cincizeci de oameni ai tăi.
Atunci s-a coborât foc din cer şi l-a mistuit pe el şi pe cei cincizeci de oameni care erau împreună cu el. 11 Apoi regele a trimis o altă căpetenie peste cincizeci de oameni, împreună cu cei cincizeci de oameni ai acestuia. Căpetenia i-a zis:
– Omule al lui Dumnezeu, regele îţi porunceşte să cobori repede!
12 Dar Ilie i-a răspuns:
– Dacă sunt un om al lui Dumnezeu, să se coboare foc din cer şi să te mistuie pe tine şi pe cei cincizeci de oameni ai tăi.
Atunci s-a coborât focul lui Dumnezeu din cer şi l-a mistuit pe el şi pe cei cincizeci de oameni care erau împreună cu el. 13 Regele a trimis o a treia căpetenie peste cincizeci de oameni, împreună cu cei cincizeci de oameni ai acestuia. Această a treia căpetenie s-a dus şi s-a plecat pe genunchi înaintea lui Ilie şi l-a implorat zicându-i: „Omule al lui Dumnezeu, te rog, pune preţ pe viaţa mea şi pe viaţa acestor cincizeci de slujitori ai tăi! 14 Ştim că focul care s-a coborât din ceruri le-a mistuit deja pe primele două căpetenii peste cincizeci şi pe oamenii lor, dar acum, pune preţ pe viaţa mea!“
15 Atunci îngerul Domnului i-a zis lui Ilie: „Însoţeşte-l şi nu te teme de el!“ Ilie s-a dus îndată împreună cu el la rege. 16 El i-a zis regelui: „Aşa vorbeşte Domnul: «Nu este în Israel Dumnezeu al Cărui cuvânt să-L poţi întreba de trimiţi mesageri să-l întrebe pe Baal-Zebub, zeul Ekronului? Pentru că ai făcut aceasta, nu te vei mai da jos din patul în care te-ai suit, ci vei muri cu siguranţă!»“
17 Ahazia a murit potrivit Cuvântului Domnului pe care l-a rostit Ilie. Pentru că nu avea nici un fiu, în locul lui a devenit rege Ioram[d]. Era al doilea an al domniei lui Iehoram, fiul lui Iehoşafat, regele lui Iuda.
18 Celelalte fapte pe care le-a făcut Ahazia, nu sunt scrise oare în „Cartea cronicilor regilor lui Israel“?

New International Version
The Lord’s Judgment on Ahaziah
1 After Ahab’s death, Moab(A) rebelled against Israel. 2 Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers,(B) saying to them, “Go and consult Baal-Zebub,(C) the god of Ekron,(D) to see if I will recover(E) from this injury.”
3 But the angel(F) of the Lord said to Elijah(G) the Tishbite, “Go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel(H) that you are going off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’ 4 Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘You will not leave(I) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!’” So Elijah went.
5 When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you come back?”
6 “A man came to meet us,” they replied. “And he said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave(J) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!”’”
7 The king asked them, “What kind of man was it who came to meet you and told you this?”
8 They replied, “He had a garment of hair[a](K) and had a leather belt around his waist.”
The king said, “That was Elijah the Tishbite.”
9 Then he sent(L) to Elijah a captain(M) with his company of fifty men. The captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king says, ‘Come down!’”
10 Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then fire(N) fell from heaven and consumed the captain and his men.
11 At this the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. The captain said to him, “Man of God, this is what the king says, ‘Come down at once!’”
12 “If I am a man of God,” Elijah replied, “may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then the fire of God fell from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
13 So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. This third captain went up and fell on his knees before Elijah. “Man of God,” he begged, “please have respect for my life(O) and the lives of these fifty men, your servants! 14 See, fire has fallen from heaven and consumed the first two captains and all their men. But now have respect for my life!”
15 The angel(P) of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid(Q) of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
16 He told the king, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers(R) to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave(S) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!” 17 So he died,(T) according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken.
Because Ahaziah had no son, Joram[b](U) succeeded him as king in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. 18 As for all the other events of Ahaziah’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?

2 Kings 1
King James Version
1 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
3 But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
4 Now therefore thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
5 And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?
6 And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
7 And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
8 And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
14 Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
15 And the angel of the Lord said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
16 And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
17 So he died according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
