2 مُلُوك 15

١ 1 وَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَوَلَّى عَزَرْيَا بْنُ أَمَصْيَا عَرْشَ يَهُوذَا.

Azariah, son of Amaziah, became king of Judah in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Jeroboam, king of Israel.

٢ 2 وَكَانَ عُمْرُهُ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَكُلْيَا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. His mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

٣ 3 وَصَنَعَ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ أَبِيهِ أَمَصْيَا،

He did what was right in the Lord's sight, just as his father Amaziah had done.

٤ 4 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَهْدِمِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ. وَظَلَّ الشَّعْبُ يُقَرِّبُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَيُوْقِدُونَ.

But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burnt offerings in those places.

٥ 5 وَابْتَلَى الرَّبُّ عَزَرْيَا بِدَاءِ الْبَرَصِ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ، مِمَّا أَرْغَمَهُ عَلَى الإِقَامَةِ فِي بَيْتٍ مُنْعَزِلٍ، فَتَوَلَّى ابْنُهُ يُوثَامُ حُكْمَ الشَّعْبِ بِالنِّيَابَةِ عَنْهُ.

The Lord touched the king and he had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in isolation in a separate house. His son Jotham was in charge of the palace and was the country's actual ruler.

٦ 6 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ عَزَرْيَا وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِي مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَاِر أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

The rest of what happened in Azariah's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

٧ 7 ثُمَّ مَاتَ عَزَرْيَا وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ يُوثَامُ.

Azariah died and was buried with his fore fathers in the City of David. His son Jotham succeeded him as king.

٨ 8 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ والثَّلاثِينَ لِحُكْمِ عَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ مُدَّةَ سِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ.

Zechariah, son of Jeroboam, became king of Israel in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of Azariah, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for six months.

٩ 9 وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ أَبَائِهِ وَلَمْ يَعْدِلْ عَنْ أَيٍّ مِنْ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّتِي اسْتَغْوَى بِها الإِسْرَائِيِليِّينَ فَأَخْطَأُوا.

He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, as his forefathers had done. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.

١٠ 10 وَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَيْهِ شَلُّومُ بْنُ يَابِيشَ وَاغْتَالَهُ أَمَامَ الشَّعْبِ وَاغْتَصَبَ مِنْهُ الْمُلْكَ.

Then Shallum, son of Jabesh, plotted against Zechariah. He attacked him, murdering him in front of the people, and took over as king.

١١ 11 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ زَكَرِيَّا فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

The rest of the events of Zechariah's reign are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

١٢ 12 وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ تَحْقِيقاً لِكَلامِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ يَاهُو قَائِلاً: «إِنَّ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ حَتَّى الْجِيلِ الرَّابِعِ يَكُونُونَ مُلُوكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ».

In this way what the Lord told Jehu came true: “Your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”

١٣ 13 وَمَلَكَ شَلُّومُ بْنُ يَابِيشَ فِي السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ عُزِّيَّا (عَزَرْيَا) مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ مُدَّةَ شَهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فِي السَّامِرَةِ.

Shallum, son of Jabesh, became king in the thirty-ninth year of the reign of King Uzziah of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for one month.

١٤ 14 وَذَهَبَ مَنَحِيمُ بْنُ جَادِي مِنْ تِرْصَةَ إِلَى السَّامِرَةِ وَاغْتَالَ شَلُّومَ بْنَ يَابِيشَ، وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْمَمْلَكَةِ.

Then Menahem, son of Gadi, went from Tirzah to Samaria, attacked and murdered Shallum, son of Jabesh, and took over as king.

١٥ 15 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ شَلُّومَ وَتَمَرُّدُهُ فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

The rest of the events of Shallum's reign and the rebellion he plotted are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

١٦ 16 بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ هَاجَمَ مَنَحِيمُ تَفْصَحَ وَضَوَاحِيهَا، وَهَدَمَ مَا فِيهَا حَتَّى حُدُودِ تِرْصَةَ لأَنَّ أَهْلَهَا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَفْتَحُوا بَوَّابَاتِهَا لَهُ، وَشَقَّ بُطُونَ جَمِيعِ حَوَامِلِهَا.

At that time Menahem, starting from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah and the region nearby, because they would not surrender the town to him. So he destroyed Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.

١٧ 17 وَفِي السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ لِحُكْمِ عَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى مَنَحِيمُ بْنُ جَادِي عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ لِمُدَّةِ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ،

Menahem, son of Gadi, became king of Israel in the thirty-ninth year of the reign of King Azariah of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for ten years.

١٨ 18 وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّتِي اسْتَغْوَى بِها الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ فَأَخْطَأُوا طَوَالَ أَيَّامِهِ.

Throughout his reign he did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.

١٩ 19 وَأَغَارَ فُولُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ عَلَى الْبِلادِ، فَاسْتَرْضَاهُ مَنَحِيمُ بِأَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوِ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ لِيُوآزِرَهُ فِي تَثْبِيتِهِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

Pul, king of Assyria, invaded the country. Menahem paid Pul a thousand talents of silver to support Menahem in consolidating his power over the kingdom.

٢٠ 20 وَجَبَى مَنَحِيمُ خَمْسِينَ شَاقِلَ (نَحْوَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ جِرَاماً) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَثْرِيَاءِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ لِيَدْفَعَهَا لِمَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَرَجَعَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَلَمْ يَحْتَلَّ الأَرْضَ.

Menahem demanded payment from all the wealthy men of Israel, fifty shekels of silver each, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria retreated and did not stay in the country.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ مَنَحِيمَ وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

The rest of what happened in Menahem's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

٢٢ 22 ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَنَحِيمُ وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ فَقَحْيَا عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.

Menahem died, and his son Pekahiah succeeded him as king.

٢٣ 23 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الْخَمْسِينَ لِحُكْمِ عَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى فَقَحْيَا بْنُ مَنَحِيمَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُدَّةِ سَنَتَيْنِ،

Pekahiah, son of Menahem, became king of Israel in Samaria in the fiftieth year of the reign of King Azariah of Judah, and he reigned for two years.

٢٤ 24 وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّتِي اسْتَغْوَى بِها الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ،

He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.

٢٥ 25 فَثَارَ عَلَيْهِ فَقْحُ بْنُ رَمَلْيَا، أَحَدُ قُوَّادِهِ مَعَ خَمْسِينَ جُنْدِيًّا مِنَ الْجِلْعَادِيِّينَ، وَاغْتَالَهُ فِي السَّامِرَةِ فِي عُقْرِ قَصْرِهِ، كَمَا اغْتَالَ مَعَهُ أَرْجُوبَ وَأَرْيَةَ، وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.

Pekah, son of Remaliah, one of his officers plotted against him together with Argob, Arieh, and fifty men from Gilead. Pekah attacked and killed Pekahiah in the fortress of the king's palace in Samaria, and took over as king.

٢٦ 26 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَعْمَالِ فَقَحْيَا وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ، فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

٢٧ 27 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَالْخَمْسِينَ لِحُكْمِ عَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى فَقْحُ بْنُ رَمَلْيَا عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ لِمُدَّةِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

Pekah, son of Remaliah, became king of Israel in the fifty-second year of the reign of King Azariah of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for twenty years.

٢٨ 28 وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّتِي اسْتَغْوَى بِها الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ فَأَخْطَأَوا.

He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.

٢٩ 29 وَفِي أَيَّامِهِ هَاجَمَ تَغْلَثْ فَلاسِرُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ الْبِلادَ، وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى مُدُنِ عُيُونَ، وَآبَلَ بَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ، وَيَانُوحَ، وَقَادَشَ، وَحَاصُورَ، وَجِلْعَادَ وَالْجَلِيلِ، وَكُلِّ أَرْضِ نَفْتَالِي وَسَبَى أَهْلَهَا إِلَى أَشُّورَ.

During the reign of Pekah, king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, invaded and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali, and he took the people to Assyria as prisoners.

٣٠ 30 ثُمَّ تَمَرَّدَ هُوشَعُ بْنُ أَيْلَةَ عَلَى فَقْحَ بْنِ رَمَلْيَا وَاغْتَالَهُ، وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ فِي السَّنَةِ الْعِشْرِينَ لِيُوثَامَ بْنِ عُزِّيَّا (عَزَرْيَا).

Then Hoshea, son of Elah, plotted against Pekah, son of Remaliah. In the twentieth year of the reign of Jotham, son of Uzziah, Hoshea attacked Pekah, killed him, and took over as king.

٣١ 31 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ فَقْحَ فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

The rest of what happened in Pekah's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

٣٢ 32 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ فَقْحَ بْنِ رَمَلْيَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، اعْتَلَى يُوثَامُ بْنُ عُزِّيَّا عَرْشَ يَهُوذَا،

Jotham, son of Uzziah, became king of Judah in the second year of the reign of Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel.

٣٣ 33 وَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَرُوشَا ابْنَةُ صَادُوقَ.

He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerusha, daughter of Zadok.

٣٤ 34 وَصَنَعَ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، سَالِكاً فِي نَهْجِ أَبِيهِ عُزِّيَّا.

He did what was right in the Lord's sight, just as his father Uzziah had done.

٣٥ 35 وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَهْدِمِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، وَظَلَّ الشَّعْبُ يُقَرِّبُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَيُوْقِدُونَ. وَهُوَ الَّذِي بَنَى الْبَابَ الأَعْلَى لِهَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.

But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burnt offerings in those places. He rebuilt the upper gate of the Lord's Temple.

٣٦ 36 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ يُوثَامَ وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

During that time the Lord started sending Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, to attack Judah.

٣٨ 38 وَمَاتَ يُوثَامُ وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ أَبِيهِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ آحَازُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.

Jotham died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David, his ancestor. His son Ahaz succeeded him as king.
