2 مُلُوك 11
| وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ عَثَلْيَا أُمَّ أَخَزْيَا أَنَّ ابْنَهَا قَدْ قُتِلَ عَمَدَتْ إِلَى إِبَادَةِ النَّسْلِ الْمَلَكِيِّ. | ١ 1 |
When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs.
| وَلَمْ يَنْجُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَمِيعِ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَتْهُمْ جَدَّتُهُمْ عَثَلْيَا سِوَى يُوآشُ بْنُ أَخَزْيَا الَّذِي اخْتَطَفَتْهُ عَمَّتُهُ يَهُوشَبَعُ بِنْتُ الْمَلِكِ يُورَامَ مَعَ مُرْضِعَتِهِ مِنْ مُخْدَعِ النَّوْمِ وَخَبَّأَتْهُ عَنْ عَيْنَيِ عَثَلْيَا. | ٢ 2 |
But Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah, and he was not killed.
| وَظَلَّ يَهُوآشُ مُخْتَبِئاً مَعَ مُرْضِعَتِهِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ مُدَّةَ سِتِّ سَنَوَاتٍ، كَانَتْ عَثَلْيَا فِي أَثْنَائِهَا مُتَرَبِّعَةً عَلَى عَرْشِ يَهُوذَا. | ٣ 3 |
And Joash remained hidden with his nurse in the house of the LORD for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ اسْتَدْعَى يَهُويَادَاعُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْمِئَاتِ مِنْ ضُبَّاطِ الْقَصْرِ وَحَرَسِ الْمَلِكَةِ، وَأَدْخَلَهُمْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، فَقَطَعَ مَعَهُمْ عَهْداً وَاسْتَحْلَفَهُمْ عَلَى الْكِتْمَانِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. ثُمَّ أَرَاهُمُ ابْنَ الْمَلِكِ. | ٤ 4 |
Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards, and had them brought into the house of the LORD. There he made a covenant with them and put them under oath. He showed them the king’s son
| وَأَمَرَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «إِلَيْكُمْ مَا تَفْعَلُونَهُ. لِيَقُمْ ثُلْثُ الْحُرَّاسِ الْمُتَوَلِّينَ الْخِدْمَةَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ بِحِرَاسَةِ الْقَصْرِ. | ٥ 5 |
and commanded them, “This is what you are to do: A third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath shall guard the royal palace,
| وَلْيَحْرُسِ الثُّلْثُ الثَّانِي بَابَ سُورٍ، أَمَّا الثُّلْثُ الثَّالِثُ فَلْيَتَوَلَّ حِرَاسَةَ الْبَابِ وَرَاءَ الْحَرَسِ الْمَلَكِيِّ. وَهَكَذَا تَقُومُونَ بِالدِّفَاعِ عَنِ الْقَصْرِ وَصَدِّ كُلِّ هُجُومٍ. | ٦ 6 |
a third shall be at the gate of Sur, and a third at the gate behind the guards. You are to take turns guarding the temple—
| وَعَلَى الْفِرْقَتَيْنِ الْمُعْفَاتَيْنِ مِنَ الْوَاجِبَاتِ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ الْقِيَامُ بِحِرَاسَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَحِمَايَةِ الْمَلِكِ. | ٧ 7 |
the two divisions that would go off duty on the Sabbath are to guard the house of the LORD for the king.
| فَتُحِيطُونَ بِالْمَلِكِ وَأَنْتُمْ مُدَجَّجُونَ بِالسِّلاحِ. وَاقْتُلُوا كُلَّ مَنْ يُحَاوِلُ أَنْ يَخْتَرِقَ الصُّفُوفَ إِلَيْهِ، وَلازِمُوا الْمَلِكَ فِي دُخُولِهِ وَخُرُوجِهِ». | ٨ 8 |
You must surround the king with weapons in hand, and anyone who approaches the ranks must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
| فَنَفَّذَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْمِئَاتِ أَوَامِرَ يَهُويَادَاعَ الْكَاهِنِ، وَأَحْضَرَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ رِجَالَهُ سَوَاءَ كَانُوا مُعْفَيْنَ مِنْ خِدْمَةِ السَّبْتِ أَوِ الْمُكَلَّفِينَ بِها، إِلَى يَهُويَادَاعَ الْكَاهِنِ. | ٩ 9 |
So the commanders of hundreds did everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest.
| فَسَلَّمَ الْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْمِئَاتِ حِرَابَ الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ وَأَتْرَاسَهُ الْمَحْفُوظَةَ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ، | ١٠ 10 |
Then the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields of King David from the house of the LORD.
| وَوَقَفَ الْحُرَّاسُ مُدَجَّجِينَ بِالسِّلاحِ مُحِيطِينَ بِمَخْبَإِ الْمَلِكِ وَحَوْلَ الْهَيْكَلِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ. | ١١ 11 |
And the guards stood with weapons in hand surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
| وَأَخْرَجَ يَهُويَادَاعُ ابْنَ الْمَلِكِ وَتَوَّجَهُ، وَأَعْطَاهُ نُسْخَةً مِنْ شَهَادَةِ الْعَهْدِ، فَنَصَّبُوهُ مَلِكاً وَمَسَحُوهُ وَصَفَّقُوا هَاتِفِينَ: «لِيَحْيَ الْمَلِكُ». | ١٢ 12 |
Then Jehoiada brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him king. They anointed him, and the people clapped their hands and declared, “Long live the king!”
| وَحِينَ سَمِعَتْ عَثَلْيَا هُتَافَ الْحُرَّاسِ وَالشَّعْبِ، انْدَسَّتْ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ وَانْدَفَعَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، | ١٣ 13 |
When Athaliah heard the noise from the guards and the people, she went out to the people in the house of the LORD.
| فَشَاهَدَتِ الْمَلِكَ مُنْتَصِباً عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَفْقاً لِلتَّقْلِيدِ فِي تَتْوِيجِ الْمُلُوكِ، وَرُؤَسَاءُ الْحُرَّاسِ وَنَافِخُو الأَبْوَاقِ يُحِيطُونَ بِالْمَلِكِ، وَقَدِ امْتَزَجَتْ هُتَافَاتُ فَرَحِ الشَّعْبِ بِدَوِيِّ نَفْخِ الأَبْوَاقِ، فَشَقَّتْ عَثَلْيَا ثِيَابَهَا صَارِخَةً: «خِيَانَةٌ! خِيَانَةٌ!» | ١٤ 14 |
And she looked out and saw the king standing by the pillar, according to the custom. The officers and trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “Treason! Treason!”
| فَأَمَرَ يَهُويَادَاعُ الْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْمِئَاتِ مِنْ قَادَةِ الْجَيْشِ قَائِلاً: «خُذُوهَا إِلَى خَارِجِ الصُّفُوفِ وَاقْتُلُوا بِالسَّيْفِ كُلَّ مَنْ يُحَاوِلُ إِنْقَاذَهَا». لأَنَّ الْكَاهِنَ أَمَرَ أَنْ لَا تُقْتَلَ دَاخِلَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of hundreds in charge of the army, “Bring her out between the ranks, and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in the house of the LORD.”
| فَقَبَضُوا عَلَيْهَا وَجَرُّوهَا إِلَى الْمَدْخَلِ الَّذِي تَعْبُرُ مِنْهُ الْخَيْلُ إِلَى سَاحَةِ الْقَصْرِ حَيْثُ قُتِلَتْ هُنَاكَ. | ١٦ 16 |
So they seized Athaliah as she reached the horses’ entrance to the palace grounds, and there she was put to death.
| وَأَبْرَمَ يَهُويَادَاعُ عَهْداً بَيْنَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ جِهَةٍ وَالْمَلِكِ والشَّعْبِ مِنْ جِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، حَتَّى يَكُونُوا شَعْباً لِلرَّبِّ، كَمَا أَبْرَمَ عَهْداً أَيْضاً بَيْنَ الْمَلِكِ وَالشَّعْبِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people.
| ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ جَمِيعُ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ إِلَى مَعْبَدِ الْبَعْلِ، وَهَدَمُوا مَذَابِحَهُ وَحَطَّمُوا تَمَاثِيلَهُ، وَقَتَلُوا مَتَّانَ كَاهِنَ الْبَعْلِ أَمَامَ الْمَذْبَحِ. وَأَقَامَ الْكَاهِنُ حُرَّاساً عَلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ١٨ 18 |
So all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. And Jehoiada the priest posted guards for the house of the LORD.
| وَاصْطَحَبَ مَعَهُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْمِئَاتِ والضُّبَّاطَ وَالْحَرَسَ وَسَائِرَ الشَّعْبِ الْحَاضِرِ هُنَاكَ، وَوَاكَبُوا الْمَلِكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ عَبْرَ طَرِيقِ السُّعَاةِ إِلَى الْقَصْرِ حَيْثُ جَلَسَ عَلَى عَرْشِ الْمُلْكِ. | ١٩ 19 |
He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace by way of the Gate of the Guards. Then Joash took his seat on the royal throne,
| وَعَمَّ الْفَرَحُ الشَّعْبَ، وَغَمَرَتِ الْطُمَأْنِينَةُ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعْدَ مَقْتَلِ عَثَلْيَا بِالسَّيْفِ عِنْدَ الْقَصْرِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been put to the sword at the royal palace.
| وَكَانَ يَهُوآشُ فِي السَّابِعَةِ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا اعْتَلَى الْعَرْشَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Joash was seven years old when he became king.
