وَكَانَ رُوحُ ٱللهِ عَلَى عَزَرْيَا بْنِ عُودِيدَ، | ١ 1 |
And the spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded;
فَخَرَجَ لِلِقَاءِ آسَا وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱسْمَعُوا لِي يَا آسَا وَجَمِيعَ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ. ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ مَعَهُ، وَإِنْ طَلَبْتُمُوهُ يُوجَدْ لَكُمْ، وَإِنْ تَرَكْتُمُوهُ يَتْرُكْكُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him: 'Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you, while ye are with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you.
وَلِإِسْرَائِيلَ أَيَّامٌ كَثِيرَةٌ بِلَا إِلَهٍ حَقٍّ وَبِلَا كَاهِنٍ مُعَلِّمٍ وَبِلَا شَرِيعَةٍ. | ٣ 3 |
Now for long seasons Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law;
وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا رَجَعُوا عِنْدَمَا تَضَايَقُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَطَلَبُوهُ وُجِدَ لَهُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
but when in their distress they turned unto the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found of them.
وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَزْمَانِ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَمَانٌ لِلْخَارِجِ وَلَا لِلدَّاخِلِ، لِأَنَّ ٱضْطِرَابَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً كَانَتْ عَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي. | ٥ 5 |
And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great discomfitures were upon all the inhabitants of the lands.
فَأُفْنِيَتْ أُمَّةٌ بِأُمَّةٍ وَمَدِينَةٌ بِمَدِينَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَزْعَجَهُمْ بِكُلِّ ضِيقٍ. | ٦ 6 |
And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did discomfit them with all manner of adversity.
فَتَشَدَّدُوا أَنْتُمْ وَلَا تَرْتَخِ أَيْدِيكُمْ لِأَنَّ لِعَمَلِكُمْ أَجْرًا». | ٧ 7 |
But be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded.'
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ آسَا هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ وَنُبُوَّةَ عُودِيدَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ، تَشَدَّدَ وَنَزَعَ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ مِنْ كُلِّ أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ وَمِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَجَدَّدَ مَذْبَحَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ رِوَاقِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٨ 8 |
And when Asa heard these words, even the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the detestable things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
وَجَمَعَ كُلَّ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ وَٱلْغُرَبَاءَ مَعَهُمْ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ وَمَنَسَّى وَمِنْ شِمْعُونَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَقَطُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكَثْرَةٍ حِينَ رَأَوْا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُ مَعَهُ. | ٩ 9 |
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and them that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon; for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
فَٱجْتَمَعُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّالِثِ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِمُلْكِ آسَا، | ١٠ 10 |
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
وَذَبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِنَ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي جَلَبُوا سَبْعَ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ، وَسَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلضَّأْنِ. | ١١ 11 |
And they sacrificed unto the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
وَدَخَلُوا فِي عَهْدٍ أَنْ يَطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَكُلِّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
And they entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
حَتَّى إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ لَا يَطْلُبُ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُقْتَلُ مِنَ ٱلصَّغِيرِ إِلَى ٱلْكَبِيرِ، مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَاءِ. | ١٣ 13 |
and that whosoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
وَحَلَفُوا لِلرَّبِّ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَهُتَافٍ وَبِأَبْوَاقٍ وَقُرُونٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
And they swore unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns.
وَفَرِحَ كُلُّ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْحَلْفِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ حَلَفُوا بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَطَلَبُوهُ بِكُلِّ رِضَاهُمْ فَوُجِدَ لَهُمْ، وَأَرَاحَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
And all Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought Him with their whole desire; and He was found of them; and the LORD gave them rest round about.
حَتَّى إِنَّ مَعْكَةَ أُمَّ آسَا ٱلْمَلِكِ خَلَعَهَا مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلِكَةً لِأَنَّهَا عَمِلَتْ لِسَارِيَةٍ تِمْثَالًا، وَقَطَعَ آسَا تِمْثَالَهَا وَدَقَّهُ وَأَحْرَقَهُ فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And also Maacah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ فَلَمْ تُنْزَعْ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. إِلَّا أَنَّ قَلْبَ آسَا كَانَ كَامِلًا كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was whole all his days.
وَأَدْخَلَ أَقْدَاسَ أَبِيهِ وَأَقْدَاسَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱللهِ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْآنِيَةِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had hallowed, and that he himself had hallowed, silver, and gold, and vessels.
وَلَمْ تَكُنْ حَرْبٌ إِلَى ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِمُلْكِ آسَا. | ١٩ 19 |
And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
