اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 15

١ 1 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةِ عَشْرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، مَلَكَ أَبِيَامُ عَلَى يَهُوذَا.

And in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nabat, Abiu son of Roboam reigns over Juda.

٢ 2 مَلَكَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَعْكَةُ ٱبْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ.

And he reigned three years over Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Abessalom.

٣ 3 وَسَارَ فِي جَمِيعِ خَطَايَا أَبِيهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا قَبْلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ كَامِلًا مَعَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ كَقَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ.

And he walked in the sins of his father which he wrought in his presence, and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of his father [David].

٤ 4 وَلَكِنْ لِأَجْلِ دَاوُدَ أَعْطَاهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُ سِرَاجًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِذْ أَقَامَ ٱبْنَهُ بَعْدَهُ وَثَبَّتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Howbeit for David's sake the Lord gave him a remnant, that he might establish his children after him, and might establish Jerusalem.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ عَمِلَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا أَوْصَاهُ بِهِ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، إِلَّا فِي قَضِيَّةِ أُورِيَّا ٱلْحِثِّيِّ.

Forasmuch as David did that which was right in the sight of the Lord: he turned not from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life.

٦ 6 وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ رَحُبْعَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

٧ 7 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَبِيَامَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ أَبِيَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ.

And the rest of the history of Abiu, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiu and Jeroboam.

٨ 8 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ أَبِيَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ آسَا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Abiu slept with his fathers in the twenty-fourth year of Jeroboam; and he is buried with his fathers in the city of David: And Asa his son reigns in his stead.

٩ 9 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِيَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلَكَ آسَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا.

In the four and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa begins to reign over Juda.

١٠ 10 مَلَكَ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَعْكَةُ ٱبْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ.

And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Ana, daughter of Abessalom.

١١ 11 وَعَمِلَ آسَا مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ،

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

١٢ 12 وَأَزَالَ ٱلْمَأْبُونِينَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَنَزَعَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَصْنَامِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا آبَاؤُهُ،

And he removed the sodomites out of the land, and abolished all the practices which his fathers had kept up.

١٣ 13 حَتَّى إِنَّ مَعْكَةَ أُمَّهُ خَلَعَهَا مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلِكَةً، لِأَنَّهَا عَمِلَتْ تِمْثَالًا لِسَارِيَةٍ، وَقَطَعَ آسَا تِمْثَالَهَا وَأَحْرَقَهُ فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ.

And he removed Ana his mother from being queen, forasmuch as she gathered a meeting in her grove: and Asa cut down her retreats, and burnt them with fire in the brook of Kedron.

١٤ 14 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ فَلَمْ تُنْزَعْ، إِلَّا إِنَّ قَلْبَ آسَا كَانَ كَامِلًا مَعَ ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ.

But he removed not the high places; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days.

١٥ 15 وَأَدْخَلَ أَقْدَاسَ أَبِيهِ وَأَقْدَاسَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْآنِيَةِ.

And he brought in the pillars of his father, he even brought in his gold and silver pillars into the house of the Lord, and [his] vessels.

١٦ 16 وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِمَا.

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

١٧ 17 وَصَعِدَ بَعْشَا مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَبَنَى ٱلرَّامَةَ لِكَيْ لَا يَدَعَ أَحَدًا يَخْرُجُ أَوْ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.

And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, so that no one should go out or come in for Asa king of Juda.

١٨ 18 وَأَخَذَ آسَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ فِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَدَفَعَهَا لِيَدِ عَبِيدِهِ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ آسَا إِلَى بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ طَبْرِيمُونَ بْنِ حَزْيُونَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ ٱلسَّاكِنِ فِي دِمَشْقَ قَائِلًا:

And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hands of his servants; and king Asa sent them out to the son of Ader, the son of Taberema son of Azin king of Syria, who lived in Damascus, saying,

١٩ 19 «إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ أَبِي وَأَبِيكَ عَهْدًا. هُوَذَا قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ لَكَ هَدِيَّةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، فَتَعَالَ ٱنْقُضْ عَهْدَكَ مَعَ بَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَصْعَدَ عَنِّي».

Make a covenant between me and you, and between my father and your father: behold! I have sent forth to you gold and silver [for] gifts: come, break your league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may go up from me.

٢٠ 20 فَسَمِعَ بَنْهَدَدُ لِلْمَلِكِ آسَا وَأَرْسَلَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْجُيُوشِ ٱلَّتِي لَهُ عَلَى مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَضَرَبَ عُيُونَ وَدَانَ وَآبَلَ بَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ وَكُلَّ كِنَّرُوتَ مَعَ كُلِّ أَرْضِ نَفْتَالِي.

And the son of Ader listened to king Asa, and sent the chiefs of his forces to the cities of Israel; and they struck Ain, Dan, and Abel of the house of Maacha, and all Chennereth, as far as the whole land of Nephthali.

٢١ 21 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بَعْشَا كَفَّ عَنْ بِنَاءِ ٱلرَّامَةِ وَأَقَامَ فِي تِرْصَةَ.

And it came to pass when Baasa heard it, that he left off building Rama, and returned to Thersa.

٢٢ 22 فَٱسْتَدْعَى ٱلْمَلِكُ آسَا كُلَّ يَهُوذَا. لَمْ يَكُنْ بَرِيءٌ. فَحَمَلُوا كُلَّ حِجَارَةِ ٱلرَّامَةِ وَأَخْشَابِهَا ٱلَّتِي بَنَاهَا بَعْشَا، وَبَنَى بِهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ آسَا جَبْعَ بَنْيَامِينَ وَٱلْمِصْفَاةَ.

And king Asa charged all Juda without exception: and they take up the stones of Rama and its timbers [with] which Baasa was building; and king Asa built with them upon the whole hill of Benjamin, and the watch-tower.

٢٣ 23 وَبَقِيَّةُ كُلِّ أُمُورِ آسَا وَكُلُّ جَبَرُوتِهِ وَكُلُّ مَا فَعَلَ وَٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي بَنَاهَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ فِي زَمَانِ شَيْخُوخَتِهِ مَرِضَ فِي رِجْلَيْهِ.

And the rest of the history of Asa, and all his mighty deeds which he wrought, and the cities which he built, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

٢٤ 24 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ آسَا مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَمَلَكَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

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

٢٥ 25 وَمَلَكَ نَادَابُ بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فَمَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ سَنَتَيْنِ.

And Nabat son of Jeroboam reigns over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Juda, and he reigned two years in Israel.

٢٦ 26 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ أَبِيهِ وَفِي خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.

٢٧ 27 وَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا مِنْ بَيْتِ يَسَّاكَرَ، وَضَرَبَهُ بَعْشَا فِي جِبَّثُونَ ٱلَّتِي لِلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَكَانَ نَادَابُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُحَاصِرِينَ جِبَّثُونَ.

And Baasa son of Achia, [who was] over the house of Belaan son of Achia, conspired against him, and struck him in Gabathon of the Philistines; for Nabat and all Israel were besieging Gabathon.

٢٨ 28 وَأَمَاتَهُ بَعْشَا فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَمَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Baasa killed him in the third year of Asa son of Asa king of Juda; and reigned in his stead.

٢٩ 29 وَلَمَّا مَلَكَ ضَرَبَ كُلَّ بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ. لَمْ يُبْقِ نَسَمَةً لِيَرُبْعَامَ حَتَّى أَفْنَاهُمْ، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ أَخِيَّا ٱلشِّيلُونِيِّ،

And it came to pass when he reigned, that he struck the whole house of Jeroboam, and left none that breathed of Jeroboam, until he has destroyed him utterly, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by his servant Achia the Selonite,

٣٠ 30 لِأَجْلِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَهَا وَٱلَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ بِإِغَاظَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَغَاظَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

for the sins of Jeroboam, who led Israel into sin, even by his provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel.

٣١ 31 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ نَادَابَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

And the rest of the history of Nabat, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٣٢ 32 وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِمَا.

[And there was a war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel in all their days. ]

٣٣ 33 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ لِآسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تِرْصَةَ أَرْبَعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

And in the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Achia begins to reign over Israel in Thersa, twenty and four years.

٣٤ 34 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَفِي خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins, as he caused Israel to sin.
