اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 25
| وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ فِي عَاشِرِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، جَاءَ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ هُوَ وَكُلُّ جَيْشِهِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهَا، وَبَنَوْا عَلَيْهَا أَبْرَاجًا حَوْلَهَا. | ١ 1 |
Then it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, arrived against Jerusalem. And they encircled it, and they constructed fortifications all around it.
| وَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ تَحْتَ ٱلْحِصَارِ إِلَى ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ صِدْقِيَّا. | ٢ 2 |
And the city was enclosed and besieged, even until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah,
| فِي تَاسِعِ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱشْتَدَّ ٱلْجُوعُ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خُبْزٌ لِشَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٣ 3 |
on the ninth day of the month. And a famine prevailed in the city; neither was there bread for the people of the land.
| فَثُغِرَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ، وَهَرَبَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْقِتَالِ لَيْلًا مِنْ طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَابِ بَيْنَ ٱلسُّورَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ نَحْوَ جَنَّةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَكَانَ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيُّونَ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مُسْتَدِيرِينَ. فَذَهَبُوا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٤ 4 |
And the city was breached. And all the men of war fled in the night along the way of the gate which is between the double wall at the garden of the king. Now the Chaldeans were besieging the city on all sides. And so Zedekiah fled along the way which leads to the plains of the wilderness.
| فَتَبِعَتْ جُيُوشُ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلْمَلِكَ فَأَدْرَكُوهُ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ أَرِيحَا، وَتَفَرَّقَتْ جَمِيعُ جُيُوشِهِ عَنْهُ. | ٥ 5 |
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all the warriors who were with him were dispersed, and they abandoned him.
| فَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى رَبْلَةَ وَكَلَّمُوهُ بِٱلْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore, having apprehended him, they led the king to the king of Babylon at Riblah. And he was speaking with him in judgment.
| وَقَتَلُوا بَنِي صِدْقِيَّا أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَقَلَعُوا عَيْنَيْ صِدْقِيَّا وَقَيَّدُوهُ بِسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَجَاءُوا بِهِ إِلَى بَابِلَ. | ٧ 7 |
Then he killed the sons of Zedekiah before him, and he dug out his eyes, and he bound him with chains, and he led him away to Babylon.
| وَفِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْخَامِسِ، فِي سَابِعِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَهِيَ ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلتَّاسِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، جَاءَ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ عَبْدُ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ٨ 8 |
In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, went into Jerusalem.
| وَأَحْرَقَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ أَحْرَقَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٩ 9 |
And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king. And the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house, he burned with fire.
| وَجَمِيعُ أَسْوَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مُسْتَدِيرًا هَدَمَهَا كُلُّ جُيُوشِ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَ رَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ. | ١٠ 10 |
And the entire army of the Chaldeans, which was with the leader of the military, tore down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلْهَارِبُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَرَبُوا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَبَقِيَّةُ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ سَبَاهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ. | ١١ 11 |
Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away the rest of the people, who had remained in the city, and the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
| وَلَكِنَّ رَئِيسَ ٱلشُّرَطِ أَبْقَى مِنْ مَسَاكِينِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَرَّامِينَ وَفَلَّاحِينَ. | ١٢ 12 |
But he left behind some vinedressers and farmers from the poor of the land.
| وَأَعْمِدَةَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلْقَوَاعِدَ وَبَحْرَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَسَّرَهَا ٱلْكِلْدَانِيُّونَ، وَحَمَلُوا نُحَاسَهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Now the pillars of brass which were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass, which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke apart. And they took all the brass to Babylon.
| وَٱلْقُدُورَ وَٱلرُّفُوشَ وَٱلْمَقَاصَّ وَٱلصُّحُونَ وَجَمِيعَ آنِيَةِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَا، أَخَذُوهَا. | ١٤ 14 |
Also, they took away the cooking pots of brass, and the scoops, and the forks, and the cups, and the little mortars, and all the articles of brass with which they were ministering.
| وَٱلْمَجَامِرَ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحَ. مَا كَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَٱلذَّهَبُ، وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَٱلْفِضَّةُ، أَخَذَهَا رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And the leader of the military even took away the censers and the bowls, whatever was of gold for the gold, and whatever was of silver for the silver,
| وَٱلْعَمُودَانِ وَٱلْبَحْرُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ وَٱلْقَوَاعِدُ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لَمْ يَكُنْ وَزْنٌ لِنُحَاسِ كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَدَوَاتِ. | ١٦ 16 |
and also the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord. The brass of all these items was beyond measure.
| ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعًا ٱرْتِفَاعُ ٱلْعَمُودِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ، وَعَلَيْهِ تَاجٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَٱرْتِفَاعُ ٱلتَّاجِ ثَلَاثُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَٱلشَّبَكَةُ وَٱلرُّمَّانَاتُ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى ٱلتَّاجِ مُسْتَدِيرَةً جَمِيعُهَا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. وَكَانَ لِلْعَمُودِ ٱلثَّانِي مِثْلُ هَذِهِ عَلَى ٱلشَّبَكَةِ. | ١٧ 17 |
One pillar had eighteen cubits in height. And the head of brass upon it was three cubits in height. And the network and pomegranates upon the head of the pillar were all of brass. And the second pillar had a similar adornment.
| وَأَخَذَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ سَرَايَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلرَّئِيسَ، وَصَفَنْيَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلثَّانِي، وَحَارِسِي ٱلْبَابِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Also, the leader of the military took away Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and three doorkeepers,
| وَمِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ أَخَذَ خَصِيًّا وَاحِدًا كَانَ وَكِيلًا عَلَى رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَخَمْسَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْظُرُونَ وَجْهَ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِينَ وُجِدُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَاتِبَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْجُنْدِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَجْمَعُ شَعْبَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَسِتِّينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ | ١٩ 19 |
and from the city, one eunuch, who was in charge of the men of war, and five men out of those who had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher, the leader of the army who trained the young soldiers from the people of the land, and sixty men from the common people, who had been found in the city.
| وَأَخَذَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ وَسَارَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى رَبْلَةَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Taking them, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
| فَضَرَبَهُمْ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ. فَسُبِيَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was taken away from his land.
| وَأَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي بَقِيَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلَّذِينَ أَبْقَاهُمْ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، فَوَكَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ جَدَلْيَا بْنَ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But over the people who had remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had permitted, he appointed as ruler Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجُيُوشِ هُمْ وَرِجَالُهُمْ أَنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدْ وَكَّلَ جَدَلْيَا أَتَوْا إِلَى جَدَلْيَا إِلَى ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ، وَهُمْ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ نَثَنْيَا، وَيُوحَنَانُ بْنُ قَارِيحَ، وَسَرَايَا بْنُ تَنْحُومَثَ ٱلنَّطُوفَاتِيِّ، وَيَازَنْيَا ٱبْنُ ٱلْمَعْكِيِّ، هُمْ وَرِجَالُهُمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And when all the commanders of the military had heard this, they and the men who were with them, specifically, that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of a Maacathite, they and their companions.
| وَحَلَفَ جَدَلْيَا لَهُمْ وَلِرِجَالِهِمْ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْ عَبِيدِ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ. ٱسْكُنُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ وَتَعَبَّدُوا لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ فَيَكُونَ لَكُمْ خَيْرٌ». | ٢٤ 24 |
And Gedaliah swore to them and to their companions, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”
| وَفِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ جَاءَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ نَثَنْيَا بْنِ أَلِيشَمَعَ مِنَ ٱلنَّسْلِ ٱلْمَلِكِيِّ، وَعَشْرَةُ رِجَالٍ مَعَهُ وَضَرَبُوا جَدَلْيَا فَمَاتَ، وَأَيْضًا ٱلْيَهُودُ وَٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
But it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of royal offspring, and ten men with him, went and struck Gedaliah, who then died, along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
| فَقَامَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنَ ٱلصَّغِيرِ إِلَى ٱلْكَبِيرِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْجُيُوشِ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ خَافُوا مِنَ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And all the people, from small to great, and the leaders of the military, rising up, went away to Egypt, fearing the Chaldeans.
| وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِسَبْيِ يَهُويَاكِينَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي عَشَرَ فِي ٱلسَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، رَفَعَ أَوِيلُ مَرُودَخُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، فِي سَنَةِ تَمَلُّكِهِ، رَأْسَ يَهُويَاكِينَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ | ٢٧ 27 |
Truly, it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the year when he had begun to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, from prison.
| وَكَلَّمَهُ بِخَيْرٍ، وَجَعَلَ كُرْسِيَّهُ فَوْقَ كَرَاسِيِّ ٱلْمُلُوكِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي بَابِلَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And he spoke kindly to him. And he set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him at Babylon.
| وَغَيَّرَ ثِيَابَ سِجْنِهِ. وَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ دَائِمًا ٱلْخُبْزَ أَمَامَهُ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And he changed his garments that he had worn in prison. And he ate bread before him always, during all the days of his life.
| وَوَظِيفَتُهُ وَظِيفَةٌ دَائِمَةٌ تُعْطَى لَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، أَمْرُ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Also, he appointed to him an allowance without ceasing, which also was given to him by the king, for each day, during all the days of his life.
