٢ أخبار 23
| وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ تَشَدَّدَ يَهُويَادَاعُ وَأَخَذَ مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْعَهْدِ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ: عَزَرْيَا بْنَ يَرُوحَامَ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ يَهُوحَانَانَ، وَعَزَرْيَا بْنَ عُوبِيدَ، وَمَعَسِيَا بْنَ عَدَايَا، وَأَلِيشَافَاطَ بْنَ زِكْرِي، | ١ 1 |
In the seventh year, Jehoiada made himself strong, and made an agreement with the captains of hundreds, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, Azariah, the son of Obed, Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri.
| وَجَالُوا فِي يَهُوذَا وَجَمَعُوا ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَرُؤُوسَ آبَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢ 2 |
And they went through Judah, getting together the Levites and the heads of families in Israel from all the towns of Judah, and they came to Jerusalem.
| وَقَطَعَ كُلُّ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ عَهْدًا فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هُوَذَا ٱبْنُ ٱلْمَلِكِ يَمْلِكُ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ بَنِي دَاوُدَ. | ٣ 3 |
And all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Truly, the king's son will be king, as the Lord has said about the sons of David.
| هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي تَعْمَلُونَهُ. ٱلثُّلْثُ مِنْكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ يَكُونُونَ بَوَّابِينَ لِلْأَبْوَابِ، | ٤ 4 |
This is what you are to do: let a third of you, of the priests and Levites, who come in on the Sabbath, keep the doors;
| وَٱلثُّلْثُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَٱلثُّلْثُ فِي بَابِ ٱلْأَسَاسِ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي دِيَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
And a third are to be stationed at the king's house; and a third at the doorway of the horses: while all the people are waiting in the open spaces round the house of the Lord.
| وَلَا يَدْخُلْ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَّا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَخْدِمُونَ مِنَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ، فَهُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ مُقَدَّسُونَ، وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٦ 6 |
But let no one come into the house of the Lord but only the priests and those of the Levites who have work to do there; they may go in for they are holy; but the rest of the people are to keep the orders of the Lord.
| وَيُحِيطُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ بِٱلْمَلِكِ مُسْتَدِيرِينَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سِلَاحُهُ بِيَدِهِ. وَٱلَّذِي يَدْخُلُ ٱلْبَيْتَ يُقْتَلُ. وَكُونُوا مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي دُخُولِهِ وَفِي خُرُوجِهِ». | ٧ 7 |
And the Levites are to make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and any man who comes into the house is to be put to death; you are to keep with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.
| فَعَمِلَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ وَكُلُّ يَهُوذَا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ. وَأَخَذُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ رِجَالَهُ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، مَعَ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، لِأَنَّ يَهُويَادَاعَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ لَمْ يَصْرِفِ ٱلْفِرَقَ. | ٨ 8 |
So the Levites and all Judah did as Jehoiada the priest had given them orders: every one took with him his men, those who were to come in and those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada had not sent away the divisions.
| وَأَعْطَى يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ ٱلْحِرَابَ وَٱلْمَجَانَّ وَٱلْأَتْرَاسَ ٱلَّتِي لِلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ. | ٩ 9 |
Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's and which were kept in the house of God.
| وَأَوْقَفَ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سِلَاحُهُ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ جَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَيْسَرِ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَٱلْبَيْتِ، حَوْلَ ٱلْمَلِكِ مُسْتَدِيرِينَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And he put all the people in position, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, by the altar and the house and all round the king.
| ثُمَّ أَخْرَجُوا ٱبْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَوَضَعُوا عَلَيْهِ ٱلتَّاجَ وَأَعْطَوْهُ ٱلشَّهَادَةَ، وَمَلَّكُوهُ. وَمَسَحَهُ يَهُويَادَاعُ وَبَنُوهُ وَقَالُوا: «لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ». | ١١ 11 |
Then they made the king's son come out, and they put the crown on his head and gave him the arm-bands and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons put the holy oil on him and said, Long life to the king.
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ عَثَلْيَا صَوْتَ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَرْكُضُونَ وَيَمْدَحُونَ ٱلْمَلِكَ، دَخَلَتْ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٢ 12 |
Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:
| وَنَظَرَتْ وَإِذَا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ فِي ٱلْمَدْخَلِ، وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ وَٱلْأَبْوَاقُ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلُّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَفْرَحُونَ وَيَنْفُخُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ، وَٱلْمُغَنُّونَ بِآلَاتِ ٱلْغِنَاءِ، وَٱلْمُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلتَّسْبِيحَ. فَشَقَّتْ عَثَلْيَا ثِيَابَهَا وَقَالَتْ: «خِيَانَةٌ، خِيَانَةٌ!». | ١٣ 13 |
And looking, she saw the king in his place by the pillar at the doorway, and the captains and the horns by his side; and all the people of the land were giving signs of joy and sounding the horns; and the makers of melody were playing on instruments of music, taking the chief part in the song of praise. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!
| فَأَخْرَجَ يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ ٱلْمُوَكَّلِينَ عَلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَخْرِجُوهَا إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلصُّفُوفِ، وَٱلَّذِي يَتَّبِعُهَا يُقْتَلُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ». لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَاهِنَ قَالَ: «لَا تَقْتُلُوهَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٤ 14 |
Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to the captains of hundreds who had authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.
| فَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ. وَلَمَّا أَتَتْ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ بَابِ ٱلْخَيْلِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ قَتَلُوهَا هُنَاكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the king's horses; and there she was put to death.
| فَقَطَعَ يَهُويَادَاعُ عَهْدًا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَنْ يَكُونُوا شَعْبًا لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٦ 16 |
And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and all the people and the king, that they would be the Lord's people.
| وَدَخَلَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ وَهَدَمُوهُ وَكَسَّرُوا مَذَابِحَهُ وَتَمَاثِيلَهُ، وَقَتَلُوا مَتَّانَ كَاهِنَ ٱلْبَعْلِ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Then all the people went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down, and its altars and images broken up; and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars.
| وَجَعَلَ يَهُويَادَاعُ مُنَاظِرِينَ عَلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَسَمَهُمْ دَاوُدُ عَلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَجْلِ إِصْعَادِ مُحْرَقَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، بِٱلْفَرَحِ وَٱلْغِنَاءِ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ دَاوُدَ. | ١٨ 18 |
And Jehoiada put the work and the care of the house of the Lord into the hands of the priests and the Levites, who had been grouped in divisions by David to make burned offerings to the Lord, as it is recorded in the law of Moses, with joy and song as David had said.
| وَأَوْقَفَ ٱلْبَوَّابِينَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِئَّلَا يَدْخُلَ نَجِسٌ فِي أَمْرٍ مَّا. | ١٩ 19 |
And he put door-keepers at the doors of the Lord's house, to see that no one who was unclean in any way might come in.
| وَأَخَذَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ وَٱلْعُظَمَاءَ وَٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ وَكُلَّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَنْزَلَ ٱلْمَلِكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَدَخَلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْأَعْلَى إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَجْلَسُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Then he took the captains of hundreds and the chiefs and the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord through the higher doorway into the king's house, and put the king on the seat of the kingdom.
| فَفَرِحَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ، وَقَتَلُوا عَثَلْيَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٢١ 21 |
So all the people of the land were glad and the town was quiet, for they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.
