٢ أخبار 29
| مَلَكَ حَزَقِيَّا وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، وَمَلَكَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ أَبِيَّةُ بِنْتُ زَكَرِيَّا. | ١ 1 |
Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
| وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ دَاوُدُ أَبُوهُ. | ٢ 2 |
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done.
| هُوَ فيِ ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُولَى مِنْ مُلْكِهِ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ فَتَحَ أَبْوَابَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَرَمَّمَهَا. | ٣ 3 |
In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened and repaired the doors of the house of the LORD.
| وَأَدْخَلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ وَجَمَعَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلسَّاحَةِ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةِ، | ٤ 4 |
Then he brought in the priests and Levites and gathered them in the square on the east side.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱسْمَعُوا لِي أَيُّهَا ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ، تَقَدَّسُوا ٱلْآنَ وَقَدِّسُوا بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِكُمْ، وَأَخْرِجُوا ٱلنَّجَاسَةَ مِنَ ٱلْقُدْسِ، | ٥ 5 |
“Listen to me, O Levites,” he said. “Consecrate yourselves now and consecrate the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers. Remove from the Holy Place every impurity.
| لِأَنَّ آبَاءَنَا خَانُوا وَعَمِلُوا ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا وَتَرَكُوهُ، وَحَوَّلُوا وُجُوهَهُمْ عَنْ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَعْطَوْا قَفًا، | ٦ 6 |
For our fathers were unfaithful and did evil in the sight of the LORD our God. They abandoned Him, turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD, and turned their backs on Him.
| وَأَغْلَقُوا أَيْضًا أَبْوَابَ ٱلرِّوَاقِ وَأَطْفَأُوا ٱلسُّرُجَ وَلَمْ يُوقِدُوا بَخُورًا وَلَمْ يُصْعِدُوا مُحْرَقَةً فِي ٱلْقُدْسِ لِإِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ 7 |
They also shut the doors of the portico and extinguished the lamps. They did not burn incense or present burnt offerings in the Holy Place of the God of Israel.
| فَكَانَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ لِلْقَلَقِ وَٱلدَّهْشِ وَٱلصَّفِيرِ كَمَا أَنْتُمْ رَاؤُونَ بِأَعْيُنِكُمْ. | ٨ 8 |
Therefore, the wrath of the LORD has fallen upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has made them an object of terror, horror, and mockery, as you can see with your own eyes.
| وَهُوَذَا قَدْ سَقَطَ آبَاؤُنَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَبَنُونَا وَبَنَاتُنَا وَنِسَاؤُنَا فِي ٱلسَّبْيِ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا. | ٩ 9 |
For behold, this is why our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives are in captivity.
| فَٱلْآنَ فِي قَلْبِي أَنْ أَقْطَعَ عَهْدًا مَعَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَرُدُّ عَنَّا حُمُوَّ غَضَبِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, so that His fierce anger will turn away from us.
| يَا بَنِيَّ، لَا تَضِلُّوا ٱلْآنَ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱخْتَارَكُمْ لِكَيْ تَقِفُوا أَمَامَهُ وَتَخْدِمُوهُ وَتَكُونُوا خَادِمِينَ وَمُوقِدِينَ لَهُ». | ١١ 11 |
Now, my sons, do not be negligent, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, to minister before Him, and to burn incense.”
| فَقَامَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ: مَحَثُ بْنُ عَمَاسَايَ وَيُوئِيلُ بْنُ عَزَرْيَا مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ، وَمِنْ بَنِي مَرَارِي: قَيْسُ بْنُ عَبْدِي وَعَزَرْيَا بْنُ يَهْلَلْئِيلَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ: يُوآخُ بْنُ زِمَّةَ وَعِيدَنُ بْنُ يُوآخَ، | ١٢ 12 |
Then the Levites set to work: Mahath son of Amasai and Joel son of Azariah from the Kohathites; Kish son of Abdi and Azariah son of Jehallelel from the Merarites; Joah son of Zimmah and Eden son of Joah from the Gershonites;
| وَمِنْ بَنِي أَلِيصَافَانَ: شِمْرِي وَيَعِيئِيلُ، وَمِنْ بَنِي آسَافَ: زَكَرِيَّا وَمَتَّنْيَا، | ١٣ 13 |
Shimri and Jeuel from the Elizaphanites; Zechariah and Mattaniah from the Asaphites;
| وَمِنْ بَنِي هَيْمَانَ: يَحِيئِيلُ وَشِمْعِي، وَمِنْ بَنِي يَدُوثُونَ: شِمْعِيَا وَعُزِّيئِيلُ. | ١٤ 14 |
Jehiel and Shimei from the Hemanites; and Shemaiah and Uzziel from the Jeduthunites.
| وَجَمَعُوا إِخْوَتَهُمْ وَتَقَدَّسُوا وَأَتَوْا حَسَبَ أَمْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيُطَهِّرُوا بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٥ 15 |
When they had assembled their brothers and consecrated themselves, they went in to cleanse the house of the LORD, according to the command of the king by the words of the LORD.
| وَدَخَلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ إِلَى دَاخِلِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيُطَهِّرُوهُ، وَأَخْرَجُوا كُلَّ ٱلنَّجَاسَةِ ٱلَّتِي وَجَدُوهَا فِي هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى دَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَتَنَاوَلَهَا ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ لِيُخْرِجُوهَا إِلَى ٱلْخَارِجِ إِلَى وَادِي قَدْرُونَ. | ١٦ 16 |
So the priests went inside the house of the LORD to cleanse it, and they brought out to the courtyard all the unclean things that they found in the temple of the LORD. Then the Levites took these things and carried them out to the Kidron Valley.
| وَشَرَعُوا فِي ٱلتَّقْدِيسِ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ. وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱنْتَهَوْا إِلَى رِوَاقِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَدَّسُوا بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّادِسَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ٱنْتَهَوْا. | ١٧ 17 |
They began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they reached the portico of the LORD. For eight more days they consecrated the house of the LORD itself, finishing on the sixteenth day of the first month.
| وَدَخَلُوا إِلَى دَاخِلٍ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا ٱلْمَلِكِ وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ طَهَّرْنَا كُلَّ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمَذْبَحَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ وَكُلَّ آنِيَتِهِ وَمَائِدَةَ خُبْزِ ٱلْوُجُوهِ وَكُلَّ آنِيَتِهَا. | ١٨ 18 |
Then they went in to King Hezekiah and reported, “We have cleansed the entire house of the LORD, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the showbread with all its utensils.
| وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْآنِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي طَرَحَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ فِي مُلْكِهِ بِخِيَانَتِهِ، قَدْ هَيَّأْنَاهَا وَقَدَّسْنَاهَا، وَهَا هِيَ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٩ 19 |
Moreover, we have prepared and consecrated all the articles that King Ahaz in his unfaithfulness cast aside during his reign. They are now in front of the altar of the LORD.”
| وَبَكَّرَ حَزَقِيَّا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجَمَعَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Early the next morning King Hezekiah gathered the city officials and went up to the house of the LORD.
| فَأَتَوْا بِسَبْعَةِ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةِ كِبَاشٍ وَسَبْعَةِ خِرْفَانٍ وَسَبْعَةِ تُيُوسِ مِعْزًى ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ عَنِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ وَعَنِ ٱلْمَقْدِسِ وَعَنْ يَهُوذَا. وَقَالَ لِبَنِي هَارُونَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ أَنْ يُصْعِدُوهَا عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢١ 21 |
They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And the king commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
| فَذَبَحُوا ٱلثِّيرَانَ، وَتَنَاوَلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلدَّمَ وَرَشُّوهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، ثُمَّ ذَبَحُوا ٱلْكِبَاشَ وَرَشُّوا ٱلدَّمَ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، ثُمَّ ذَبَحُوا ٱلْخِرْفَانَ وَرَشُّوا ٱلدَّمَ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They slaughtered the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. And they slaughtered the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
| ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمُوا بِتُيُوسِ ذَبِيحَةِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلْجَمَاعَةِ، وَوَضَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا، | ٢٣ 23 |
Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, who laid their hands on them.
| وَذَبَحَهَا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَكَفَّرُوا بِدَمِهَا عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ تَكْفِيرًا عَنْ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ قَالَ إِنَّ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةَ وَذَبِيحَةَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ هُمَا عَنْ كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And the priests slaughtered the goats and put their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for all Israel, because the king had ordered the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.
| وَأَوْقَفَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِصُنُوجٍ وَرَبَابٍ وَعِيدَانٍ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ دَاوُدَ وَجَادَ رَائِي ٱلْمَلِكِ وَنَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ، لِأَنَّ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْوَصِيَّةَ عَنْ يَدِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Hezekiah stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres according to the command of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet. For the command had come from the LORD through His prophets.
| فَوَقَفَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ بِآلَاتِ دَاوُدَ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
| وَأَمَرَ حَزَقِيَّا بِإِصْعَادِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. وَعِنْدَ ٱبْتِدَاءِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ ٱبْتَدَأَ نَشِيدُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلْأَبْوَاقُ بِوَاسِطَةِ آلَاتِ دَاوُدَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And Hezekiah ordered that the burnt offering be sacrificed on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD and the trumpets began as well, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.
| وَكَانَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ يَسْجُدُونَ وَٱلْمُغَنُّونَ يُغَنُّونَ وَٱلْمُبَوِّقُونَ يُبَوِّقُونَ. ٱلْجَمِيعُ، إِلَى أَنِ ٱنْتَهَتِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The whole assembly was worshiping, the singers were singing, and the trumpeters were playing. All this continued until the burnt offering was completed.
| وَعِنْدَ ٱنْتِهَاءِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ خَرَّ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَكُلُّ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ مَعَهُ وَسَجَدُوا. | ٢٩ 29 |
When the offerings were completed, the king and all those present with him bowed down and worshiped.
| وَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ أَنْ يُسَبِّحُوا ٱلرَّبَّ بِكَلَامِ دَاوُدَ وَآسَافَ ٱلرَّائِي، فَسَبَّحُوا بِٱبْتِهَاجٍ وَخَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا. | ٣٠ 30 |
Then King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the LORD in the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness and bowed their heads and worshiped.
| ثُمَّ أَجَابَ حَزَقِيَّا وَقَالَ: «ٱلْآنَ مَلَأْتُمْ أَيْدِيَكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ. تَقَدَّمُوا وَأْتُوا بِذَبَائِحَ وَقَرَابِينِ شُكْرٍ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». فَأَتَتِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ بِذَبَائِحَ وَقَرَابِينِ شُكْرٍ، وَكُلُّ سَمُوحِ ٱلْقَلْبِ أَتَى بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
Then Hezekiah said, “Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the LORD.” So the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all whose hearts were willing brought burnt offerings.
| وَكَانَ عَدَدُ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَتَى بِهَا ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ سَبْعِينَ ثَوْرًا وَمِئَةَ كَبْشٍ وَمِئَتَيْ خَرُوفٍ. كُلُّ هَذِهِ مُحْرَقَةٌ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
The number of burnt offerings the assembly brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
| وَٱلْأَقْدَاسُ سِتُّ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ وَثَلَاثَةُ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلضَّأْنِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And the consecrated offerings were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.
| إِلَّا إِنَّ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ كَانُوا قَلِيلِينَ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَسْلُخُوا كُلَّ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ، فَسَاعَدَهُمْ إِخْوَتُهُمُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ حَتَّى كَمَلَ ٱلْعَمَلُ وَحَتَّى تَقَدَّسَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ. لِأَنَّ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ كَانُوا أَكْثَرَ ٱسْتِقَامَةَ قَلْبٍ مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ فِي ٱلتَّقَدُّسِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
However, since there were not enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings, their Levite brothers helped them until the work was finished and until the priests had been consecrated. For the Levites had been more diligent in consecrating themselves than the priests had been.
| وَأَيْضًا كَانَتِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتُ كَثِيرَةً بِشَحْمِ ذَبَائِحِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ وَسَكَائِبِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ. فَٱسْتَقَامَتْ خِدْمَةُ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Furthermore, the burnt offerings were abundant, along with the fat of the peace offerings and the drink offerings for the burnt offerings. So the service of the house of the LORD was established.
| وَفَرِحَ حَزَقِيَّا وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ ٱللهَ أَعَدَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَمْرَ كَانَ بَغْتَةً. | ٣٦ 36 |
Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced at what God had prepared for the people, because everything had been accomplished so quickly.
