اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 14

١ 1 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِيُوآشَ بْنِ يُوأَحَازَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلَكَ أَمَصْيَا بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.

In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.

٢ 2 كَانَ ٱبْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَهُوعَدَّانُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

٣ 3 وَعَمِلَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، عَمِلَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ يُوآشُ أَبُوهُ.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.

٤ 4 إِلَّا أَنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لَمْ تُنْتَزَعْ، بَلْ كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَزَالُونَ يَذْبَحُونَ وَيُوقِدُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ.

Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

٥ 5 وَلَمَّا تَثَبَّتَتِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةُ بِيَدِهِ، قَتَلَ عَبِيدَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ أَبَاهُ.

And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain the king his father:

٦ 6 وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْتُلْ أَبْنَاءَ ٱلْقَاتِلِينَ حَسَبَ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي سِفْرِ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، حَيْثُ أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: «لَا يُقْتَلُ ٱلْآبَاءُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْبَنِينَ، وَٱلْبَنُونَ لَا يُقْتَلُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْآبَاءِ. إِنَّمَا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يُقْتَلُ بِخَطِيَّتِهِ».

but the children of the murderers he put not to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.

٧ 7 هُوَ قَتَلَ مِنْ أَدُومَ فِي وَادِي ٱلْمِلْحِ عَشْرَةَ آلَافٍ، وَأَخَذَ سَالِعَ بِٱلْحَرْبِ، وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهَا يَقْتَئِيلَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

He slew of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, unto this day.

٨ 8 حِينَئِذٍ أَرْسَلَ أَمَصْيَا رُسُلًا إِلَى يَهُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوأَحَازَ بْنِ يَاهُو مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «هَلُمَّ نَتَرَاءَ مُواجَهَةً».

Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.

٩ 9 فَأَرْسَلَ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَمَصْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا: «اَلْعَوْسَجُ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْزِ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ يَقُولُ: أَعْطِ ٱبْنَتَكَ لِٱبْنِي ٱمْرَأَةً. فَعَبَرَ حَيَوَانٌ بَرِّيٌّ كَانَ فِي لُبْنَانَ وَدَاسَ ٱلْعَوْسَجَ.

And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trod down the thistle.

١٠ 10 إِنَّكَ قَدْ ضَرَبْتَ أَدُومَ فَرَفَعَكَ قَلْبُكَ. تَمَجَّدْ وَأَقِمْ فِي بَيْتِكَ. وَلِمَاذَا تَهْجُمُ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِّ فَتَسْقُطَ أَنْتَ وَيَهُوذَا مَعَكَ؟».

Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: glory thereof, and abide at home; for why shouldest thou meddle to [thy] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

١١ 11 فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَمَصْيَا، فَصَعِدَ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَتَرَاءَيَا مُواجَهَةً، هُوَ وَأَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا.

But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

١٢ 12 فَٱنْهَزَمَ يَهُوذَا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهَرَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ.

And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.

١٣ 13 وَأَمَّا أَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا ٱبْنُ يَهُوآشَ بْنِ أَخَزْيَا فَأَمْسَكَهُ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَهَدَمَ سُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ، أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ ذِرَاعٍ.

And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

١٤ 14 وَأَخَذَ كُلَّ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلْآنِيَةِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلرُّهَنَاءَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ.

And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

١٥ 15 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَهُوآشَ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ وَكَيْفَ حَارَبَ أَمَصْيَا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يَهُوآشُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ مَعَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَلَكَ يَرُبْعَامُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.

١٧ 17 وَعَاشَ أَمَصْيَا بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ يَهُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوأَحَازَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

١٨ 18 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَمَصْيَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

١٩ 19 وَفَتَنُوا عَلَيْهِ فِتْنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَهَرَبَ إِلَى لَخِيشَ، فَأَرْسَلُوا وَرَاءَهُ إِلَى لَخِيشَ وَقَتَلُوهُ هُنَاكَ.

And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.

٢٠ 20 وَحَمَلُوهُ عَلَى ٱلْخَيْلِ فَدُفِنَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ.

And they brought him upon horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

٢١ 21 وَأَخَذَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا عَزَرْيَا، وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَمَلَّكُوهُ عِوَضًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَمَصْيَا.

And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.

٢٢ 22 هُوَ بَنَى أَيْلَةَ وَٱسْتَرَدَّهَا لِيَهُوذَا بَعْدَ ٱضْطِجَاعِ ٱلْمَلِكِ مَعَ آبَائِهِ.

He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.

٢٣ 23 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِأَمَصْيَا بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, [and reigned] forty and one years.

٢٤ 24 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

٢٥ 25 هُوَ رَدَّ تُخُمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ يُونَانَ بْنِ أَمِتَّايَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ جَتَّ حَافِرَ.

He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Jehovah, the God of Israel, which he spake by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.

٢٦ 26 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ رَأَى ضِيقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُرًّا جِدًّا، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَحْجُوزٌ وَلَا مُطْلَقٌ وَلَيْسَ مُعِينٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ.

For Jehovah saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.

٢٧ 27 وَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمِ ٱلرَّبُّ بِمَحْوِ ٱسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ بِيَدِ يَرُبْعَامَ ٱبْنِ يُوآشَ.

And Jehovah said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

٢٨ 28 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ، كَيْفَ حَارَبَ وَكَيْفَ ٱسْتَرْجَعَ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ دِمَشْقَ وَحَمَاةَ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا، أَمَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, [which had belonged] to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٢٩ 29 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يَرُبْعَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، مَعَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَلَكَ زَكَرِيَّا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
