2 أخبار 22
| وَنَصَّبَ سُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَخَزْيَا أَصْغَرَ أَبْنَائِهِ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ خَلَفاً لَهُ، لأَنَّ الْغُزَاةَ الَّذِينَ انْضَمُّوا إِلَى الْعَرَبِ وَأَغَارُوا عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ قَتَلُوا سَائِرَ إِخْوَتِهِ، فَمَلَكَ أَخَزْيَا بْنُ يَهُورَامَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا. | ١ 1 |
Then the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, the youngest son of Jehoram, king in his place, since the raiders who had come into the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
| وَكَانَ أَخَزْيَا فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ تَوَلَّى الْمُلْكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ سَنَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ عَثَلْيَا، وَهِيَ حَفِيدَةُ عُمْرِي. | ٢ 2 |
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
| وَقَدْ سَلَكَ أَيْضاً فِي طَرِيقِ بَيْتِ آخْابَ، لأَنَّ أُمَّهُ كَانَتْ تُشِيرُ عَلَيْهِ بِارْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ. | ٣ 3 |
Ahaziah also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in wickedness.
| فَاقْتَرَفَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ بَيْتِ آخْابَ، إِذْ أَصْبَحُوا لَهُ مُشِيرِينَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ أَبِيهِ، مِمَّا أَفْضَى إِلَى هَلاكِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as the house of Ahab had done, for to his destruction they were his counselors after the death of his father.
| وَبِمُقْتَضَى مَشُورَتِهِمِ انْضَمَّ إِلَى يَهُورَامَ بْنِ آخْابَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِمُحَارَبَةِ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ فِي رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ، فَهَزَمَ الأَرَامِيُّونَ يُورَامَ. | ٥ 5 |
Ahaziah also followed their counsel and went with Joram son of Ahab king of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans wounded Joram;
| فَرَجَعَ يُورَامُ إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ حَتَّى يَبْرَأَ مِنْ جِرَاحِهِ الَّتِي أَصَابَهُ بِها الأَرَامِيُّونَ فِي الرَّامَةِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ مَعْرَكَتِهِ مَعَ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ، فَجَاءَ أَخَزْيَا بْنُ يَهُورَامَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لِيَزُورَ يَهُورَامَ بْنَ آخْابَ الَّذِي كَانَ مَرِيضاً فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ. | ٦ 6 |
so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ شَاءَ أَنْ تَكُونَ زِيَارَةُ أَخَزْيَا لِيُورَامَ سَبَباً فِي هَلاكِهِ، حِينَ خَرَجَ مَعَ يَهُورَامَ لِلِقَاءِ يَاهُو بْنِ نِمْشِي، الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ الرَّبُّ لِلْقَضَاءِ الْمُبْرَمِ عَلَى بَيْتِ أَخَآبَ. | ٧ 7 |
Ahaziah’s downfall came from God when he went to visit Joram. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَاهُو يُبِيدُ بَيْتَ آخْابَ، صَادَفَ قَادَةَ يَهُوذَا وَأَبْنَاءَ إِخْوَةِ أَخَزْيَا، الَّذِينَ كَانُوا فِي خِدْمَةِ أَخَزْيَا، فَقَتَلَهُمْ. | ٨ 8 |
So while Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he found the rulers of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who were serving Ahaziah, and he killed them.
| وَسَعَى وَرَاءَ أَخَزْيَا، فَقَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ رِجَالُ يَاهُو وَهُوَ مُخْتَبِئٌ فِي السَّامِرَةِ، فَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى يَاهُو، وَقَتَلُوهُ وَدَفَنُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ الَّذِي طَلَبَ الرَّبَّ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِهِ». فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مَنْ يَتَوَلَّى الْعَرْشَ فِي بَيْتِ أَخَزْيَا. | ٩ 9 |
Then Jehu looked for Ahaziah, and Jehu’s soldiers captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. So Ahaziah was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So no one was left from the house of Ahaziah with the strength to rule the kingdom.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ عَثَلْيَا أُمُّ أَخَزْيَا أَنَّ ابْنَهَا قَدْ مَاتَ قَبَضَتْ عَلَى جَمِيعِ النَّسْلِ الْمَلَكِيِّ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا وَأَبَادَتْهُمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ يَهُوشَبْعَةَ ابْنَةَ الْمَلِكِ يَهُورَامَ اخْتَطَفَتْ يُوآشَ بْنَ أَخَزْيَا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِينَ شَرَعَتْ عَثَلْيَا فِي قَتْلِهِمْ، وَأَخْفَتْهُ هُوَ وَمُرْضِعَتَهُ فِي مُخْدَعِ النَّوْمِ، لأَنَّ يَهُوشَبْعَةَ كَانَتْ أُخْتَ أَخَزْيَا، وَابْنَةَ الْمَلِكِ يَهُورَامَ، وَزَوْجَةَ يَهُويَادَاعَ الْكَاهِنِ. وَهَكَذَا خَبَّأَتْ يَهُوشَبْعَةُ يُوآشَ مِنْ عَثَلْيَا، فَلَمْ تَقْتُلْهُ. | ١١ 11 |
But Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of Jehoiada the priest, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid Joash from Athaliah so that she could not kill him.
| وَمَكَثَ مَعَهُمْ مُخْتَبِئاً فِي هَيْكَلِ اللهِ سِتَّ سَنَوَاتٍ، كَانَتْ عَثَلْيَا فِي أَثْنَائِهَا تَمْلِكُ عَلَى عَرْشِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٢ 12 |
And Joash remained hidden with them in the house of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
