اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 11

١ 1 فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ عَثَلْيَا أُمُّ أَخَزْيَا، أَنَّ ٱبْنَهَا قَدْ مَاتَ، قَامَتْ فَأَبَادَتْ جَمِيعَ ٱلنَّسْلِ ٱلْمَلِكِيِّ.

And Athaliah [is] mother of Ahaziah, and she has seen that her son [is] dead, and she rises, and destroys all the seed of the kingdom;

٢ 2 فَأَخَذَتْ يَهُوشَبَعُ بِنْتُ ٱلْمَلِكِ يُورَامَ، أُخْتُ أَخَزْيَا، يُوآشَ بْنَ أَخَزْيَا وَسَرِقَتْهُ مِنْ وَسْطِ بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا، هُوَ وَمُرْضِعَتَهُ مِنْ مُخْدَعِ ٱلسَّرِيرِ، وَخَبَّأُوهُ مِنْ وَجْهِ عَثَلْيَا فَلَمْ يُقْتَلْ.

and Jehosheba daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, takes Joash son of Ahaziah, and steals him out of the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, him and his nurse, in the inner part of the bed-chambers, and they hide him from the presence of Athaliah, and he has not been put to death,

٣ 3 وَكَانَ مَعَهَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ مُخْتَبِئًا سِتَّ سِنِينَ. وَعَثَلْيَا مَالِكَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

and he is with her, in the house of YHWH, hiding himself, six years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land.

٤ 4 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ أَرْسَلَ يَهُويَادَاعُ فَأَخَذَ رُؤَسَاءَ مِئَاتِ ٱلْجَلَّادِينَ وَٱلسُّعَاةِ، وَأَدْخَلَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَقَطَعَ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدًا وَٱسْتَحْلَفَهُمْ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَرَاهُمُ ٱبْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

And in the seventh year Jehoiada has sent and takes the heads of the hundreds, of the executioners and of the runners, and brings them to him, into the house of YHWH, and makes a covenant with them, and causes them to swear in the house of YHWH, and shows them the son of the king,

٥ 5 وَأَمَرَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «هَذَا مَا تَفْعَلُونَهُ: ٱلثُّلْثُ مِنْكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ،

and commands them, saying, “This [is] the thing that you do; the third of you [are] going in on the Sabbath, and keepers of the charge of the house of the king,

٦ 6 وَٱلثُّلْثُ عَلَى بَابِ سُورٍ، وَٱلثُّلْثُ عَلَى ٱلْبَابِ وَرَاءَ ٱلسُّعَاةِ. فَتَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلْبَيْتِ لِلصَّدِّ.

and the third [is] at the Gate of Sur, and the third at the gate behind the runners, and you have kept the charge of the house pulled down;

٧ 7 وَٱلْفِرْقَتَانِ مِنْكُمْ، جَمِيعُ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

and two parts of you, all going out on the Sabbath—they have kept the charge of the house of YHWH about the king,

٨ 8 وَتُحِيطُونَ بِٱلْمَلِكِ حَوَالَيْهِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سِلَاحُهُ بِيَدِهِ. وَمَنْ دَخَلَ ٱلصُّفُوفَ يُقْتَلُ. وَكُونُوا مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي خُرُوجِهِ وَدُخُولِهِ».

and you have surrounded the king all around, each with his weapons in his hand, and he who is coming to the ranges is put to death; and be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.”

٩ 9 فَفَعَلَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمِئَاتِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ، وَأَخَذُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ رِجَالَهُ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ مَعَ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، وَجَاءُوا إِلَى يَهُويَادَاعَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ.

And the heads of the hundreds do according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and take—each [one]—his men going in on the Sabbath, with those going out on the Sabbath, and come to Jehoiada the priest,

١٠ 10 فَأَعْطَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ لِرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمِئَاتِ ٱلْحِرَابَ وَٱلْأَتْرَاسَ ٱلَّتِي لِلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

and the priest gives to the heads of the hundreds the spears and the shields that King David had, that [are] in the house of YHWH.

١١ 11 وَوَقَفَ ٱلسُّعَاةُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سِلَاحُهُ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ جَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَيْسَرِ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَٱلْبَيْتِ، حَوْلَ ٱلْمَلِكِ مُسْتَدِيرِينَ.

And the runners stand, each with his weapons in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house to the left shoulder of the house, by the altar and by the house, by the king all around;

١٢ 12 وَأَخْرَجَ ٱبْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلتَّاجَ وَأَعْطَاهُ ٱلشَّهَادَةَ، فَمَلَّكُوهُ وَمَسَحُوهُ وَصَفَّقُوا وَقَالُوا: «لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ».

and he brings out the son of the king, and puts the crown on him, and the Testimony, and they make him king, and anoint him, and strike the hand, and say, “Let the king live.”

١٣ 13 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ عَثَلْيَا صَوْتَ ٱلسُّعَاةِ وَٱلشَّعْبِ، دَخَلَتْ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،

And Athaliah hears the voice of the runners [and] of the people, and she comes to the people [in] the house of YHWH,

١٤ 14 وَنَظَرَتْ وَإِذَا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى ٱلْمِنْبَرِ حَسَبَ ٱلْعَادَةِ، وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ وَنَافِخُو ٱلْأَبْوَاقِ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلُّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَفْرَحُونَ وَيَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. فَشَقَّتْ عَثَلْيَا ثِيَابَهَا وَصَرَخَتْ: «خِيَانَةٌ، خِيَانَةٌ!».

and looks, and behold, the king is standing by the pillar, according to the ordinance, and the heads and the trumpets [are] by the king, and all the people of the land are rejoicing and blowing with trumpets, and Athaliah tears her garments, and calls, “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”

١٥ 15 فَأَمَرَ يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ، قُوَّادَ ٱلْجَيْشِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَخْرِجُوهَا إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلصُّفُوفِ، وَٱلَّذِي يَتْبَعُهَا ٱقْتُلُوهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ». لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَاهِنَ قَالَ: «لَا تُقْتَلُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ».

And Jehoiada the priest commands the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and says to them, “Bring her out to the outside of the ranges, and him who is going after her, put to death by the sword”: for the priest had said, “Do not let her be put to death in the house of YHWH.”

١٦ 16 فَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ، وَمَضَتْ فِي طَرِيقِ مَدْخَلِ ٱلْخَيْلِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَقُتِلَتْ هُنَاكَ.

And they make sides for her, and she enters the way of the entering in of the horses to the house of the king, and is put to death there.

١٧ 17 وَقَطَعَ يَهُويَادَاعُ عَهْدًا بَيْنَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلشَّعْبِ لِيَكُونُوا شَعْبًا لِلرَّبِّ، وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلشَّعْبِ.

And Jehoiada makes the covenant between YHWH and the king and the people, to be for a people to YHWH, and between the king and the people.

١٨ 18 وَدَخَلَ جَمِيعُ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ وَهَدَمُوا مَذَابِحَهُ وَكَسَّرُوا تَمَاثِيلَهُ تَمَامًا، وَقَتَلُوا مَتَّانَ كَاهِنَ ٱلْبَعْلِ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَذَابِحِ. وَجَعَلَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ نُظَّارًا عَلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And all the people of the land go to the house of Ba‘al, and break it down; they have thoroughly broken its altars and its images, and they have slain Mattan priest of Ba‘al before the altars; and the priest sets inspectors over the house of YHWH,

١٩ 19 وَأَخَذَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ وَٱلْجَلَّادِينَ وَٱلسُّعَاةَ وَكُلَّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَأَنْزَلُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَتَوْا فِي طَرِيقِ بَابِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلْمُلُوكِ.

and takes the heads of the hundreds, and the executioners, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they bring down the king from the house of YHWH, and come by the way of the gate of the runners, to the house of the king, and he sits on the throne of the kings.

٢٠ 20 وَفَرِحَ جَمِيعُ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ. وَقَتَلُوا عَثَلْيَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city [is] quiet, and they have put Athaliah to death by the sword in the house of the king;

٢١ 21 كَانَ يَهُوآشُ ٱبْنَ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ حِينَ مَلَكَ.

Jehoash is a son of seven years in his reigning.
