اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 13

١ 1 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِيُوآشَ بْنِ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ يَهُوأَحَازُ بْنُ يَاهُو عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

In the twenty-third year of Joas son of Ochozias king of Juda began Joachaz the son of Ju to reign in Samaria, [and he reigned] seventeen years.

٢ 2 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَارَ وَرَاءَ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْهَا.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked after the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin; he departed not from them.

٣ 3 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَدَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ، وَلِيَدِ بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ حَزَائِيلَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and delivered them into the hand of Azael king of Syria, and into the hand of the son of Ader son of Azael, all their days.

٤ 4 وَتَضَرَّعَ يَهُوأَحَازُ إِلَى وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَسَمِعَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَنَّهُ رَأَى ضِيقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ ضَايَقَهُمْ.

And Joachaz implored the Lord, and the Lord listened to him, for he saw the affliction of Israel, because the king of Syria afflicted them.

٥ 5 وَأَعْطَى ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُخَلِّصًا، فَخَرَجُوا مِنْ تَحْتِ يَدِ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ. وَأَقَامَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي خِيَامِهِمْ كَأَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ.

And the Lord gave deliverance to Israel, and they escaped from under the hand of Syria: and the children of Israel lived in their tents as heretofore.

٦ 6 وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحِيدُوا عَنْ خَطَايَا بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، بَلْ سَارُوا بِهَا. وَوَقَفَتِ ٱلسَّارِيَةُ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ.

Only they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who led Israel to sin: they walked in them—moreover the grove also remained in Samaria.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُبْقِ لِيَهُوأَحَازَ شَعْبًا إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ فَارِسًا وَعَشَرَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَعَشْرَةَ آلَافِ رَاجِلٍ، لِأَنَّ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ أَفْنَاهُمْ وَوَضَعَهُمْ كَٱلتُّرَابِ لِلدَّوْسِ.

Whereas there was not left any army to Joachaz, except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry: for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and they made them as dust for trampling.

٨ 8 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَهُوأَحَازَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

And the rest of the acts of Joachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty acts [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٩ 9 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يَهُوأَحَازُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَمَلَكَ يُوآشُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Joachaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joas his son reigned in his stead.

١٠ 10 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِيُوآشَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ يَهُوآشُ بْنُ يَهُوأَحَازَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

In the thirty-seventh year of Joas king of Juda, Joas the son of Joachaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria sixteen years.

١١ 11 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ جَمِيعِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، بَلْ سَارَ بِهَا.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; he departed not from all the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: he walked in it.

١٢ 12 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُوآشَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ وَكَيْفَ حَارَبَ أَمَصْيَا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, and his mighty acts which he performed together with Amessias king of Juda, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يُوآشُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَجَلَسَ يَرُبْعَامُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ. وَدُفِنَ يُوآشُ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ مَعَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Joas slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat upon his throne, and he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

١٤ 14 وَمَرِضَ أَلِيشَعُ مَرَضَهُ ٱلَّذِي مَاتَ بِهِ، فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ يُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَكَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبِي، يَا أَبِي، يَا مَرْكَبَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفُرْسَانَهَا».

Now Elisaie was sick of his sickness, whereof he died: and Joas king of Israel went down to him, and wept over his face, and said, [My] father, [my] father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof!

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ لَهُ أَلِيشَعُ: «خُذْ قَوْسًا وَسِهَامًا». فَأَخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ قَوْسًا وَسِهَامًا.

And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took to himself a bow and arrows.

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «رَكِّبْ يَدَكَ عَلَى ٱلْقَوْسِ». فَرَكَّبَ يَدَهُ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ أَلِيشَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى يَدَيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ

And he said to the king, Put your hand on the bow. And Joas put his hand upon [it]: and Elisaie put his hands upon the king's hands.

١٧ 17 وَقَالَ: «ٱفْتَحِ ٱلْكَوَّةَ لِجِهَةِ ٱلشَّرْقِ». فَفَتَحَهَا. فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «ٱرْمِ». فَرَمَى. فَقَالَ: «سَهْمُ خَلَاصٍ لِلرَّبِّ وَسَهْمُ خَلَاصٍ مِنْ أَرَامَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَضْرِبُ أَرَامَ فِي أَفِيقَ إِلَى ٱلْفَنَاءِ».

And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. And Elisaie said, Shoot. And he shot. And [Elisaie] said, The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria; and you shall strike the Syrians in Aphec until you have consumed them.

١٨ 18 ثُمَّ قَالَ: «خُذِ ٱلسِّهَامَ». فَأَخَذَهَا. ثُمَّ قَالَ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «ٱضْرِبْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». فَضَرَبَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَوَقَفَ.

And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took them. And [he] said to the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And the king struck three times, and stayed.

١٩ 19 فَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ وَقَالَ: «لَوْ ضَرَبْتَ خَمْسَ أَوْ سِتَّ مَرَّاتٍ، حِينَئِذٍ ضَرَبْتَ أَرَامَ إِلَى ٱلْفَنَاءِ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا تَضْرِبُ أَرَامَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ».

And the man of God was grieved at him, and said, If you had struck five or six times, then you should have struck Syria till you had consumed them; but now you shall strike Syria [only] thrice.

٢٠ 20 وَمَاتَ أَلِيشَعُ فَدَفَنُوهُ. وَكَانَ غُزَاةُ مُوآبَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ عِنْدَ دُخُولِ ٱلسَّنَةِ.

And Elisaie died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites came into the land, at the beginning of the year.

٢١ 21 وَفِيمَا كَانُوا يَدْفِنُونَ رَجُلًا إِذَا بِهِمْ قَدْ رَأَوْا ٱلْغُزَاةَ، فَطَرَحُوا ٱلرَّجُلَ فِي قَبْرِ أَلِيشَعَ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ ٱلرَّجُلُ وَمَسَّ عِظَامَ أَلِيشَعَ عَاشَ وَقَامَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ.

And it came to pass as they were burying a man, that behold, they saw a band [of men], and they cast the man into the grave of Elisaie: and as soon as he touched the bones of Elisaie, he revived and stood up on his feet.

٢٢ 22 وَأَمَّا حَزَائِيلُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ فَضَايَقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ يَهُوأَحَازَ،

And Azael greatly afflicted Israel all the days of Joachaz.

٢٣ 23 فَحَنَّ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَحِمَهُمْ وَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمْ لِأَجْلِ عَهْدِهِ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، وَلَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يَسْتَأْصِلَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَطْرَحْهُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى ٱلْآنَ.

And the Lord had mercy and compassion upon them, and had respect to them because of his covenant with Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob; and the Lord would not destroy them, and did not cast them out from his presence.

٢٤ 24 ثُمَّ مَاتَ حَزَائِيلُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ، وَمَلَكَ بَنْهَدَدُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Azael king of Syria died, and the son of Ader his son reigned in his stead.

٢٥ 25 فَعَادَ يَهُوآشُ بْنُ يَهُوأَحَازَ وَأَخَذَ ٱلْمُدُنَ مِنْ يَدِ بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ حَزَائِيلَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مِنْ يَدِ يَهُوأَحَازَ أَبِيهِ بِٱلْحَرْبِ. ضَرَبَهُ يُوآشُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَٱسْتَرَدَّ مُدُنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Joas the son of Joachaz returned, and took the cities out of the hand of the son of Ader the son of Azael, which he had taken out of the hand of Joachaz his father in the war: thrice did Joas strike him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
