2 مُلُوك 17
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ آحَازَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى هُوشَعُ بْنُ أَيْلَةَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ، لِمُدَّةِ تِسْعِ سَنَوَاتٍ. | ١ 1 |
In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria over Israel nine years.
| وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، إِلّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ قَلِيلاً مِنْ أَسْلافِهِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢ 2 |
And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.
| وَزَحَفَ عَلَيْهِ شَلْمَنْأَسَرُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ فَصَارَ هُوشَعُ لَهُ تَابِعاً يَدْفَعُ لَهُ جِزْيَةً. | ٣ 3 |
Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.
| وَمَالَبِثَ أَنِ اكْتَشَفَ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ خِيَانَةَ هُوشَعَ، الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ وَفْداً يَسْتَغِيثُ بِسَوَا مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، وَلَمْ يُؤَدِّ جِزْيَةً لِمَلِكِ أَشُورَ كَعَهْدِهِ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ، فَقَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ وَزَجَّهُ مُوْثَقاً فِي السِّجْنِ. | ٤ 4 |
And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee endeavouring to rebel had sent messengers to Sua the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison,
| وَاجْتَاحَ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحَاصَرَ السَّامِرَةَ ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ. | ٥ 5 |
And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ هُوشَعَ سَقَطَتِ السَّامِرَةُ، فَسَبَى مَلِكُ أَشُورَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ إِلَى أَشُورَ وَأَسْكَنَهُمْ فِي مَدِينَةِ حَلَحَ، وَعَلَى ضِفَافِ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ جُوزَانَ، وَفِي مُدُنِ مَادِي. | ٦ 6 |
And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala and Habor by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
| وَقَدْ حَلَّتْ هَذِهِ النَّكْبَةُ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لأَنَّهُمْ أَثِمُوا فِي حَقِّ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمِ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، مِنْ تَحْتِ نِيرِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَبَدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، | ٧ 7 |
For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they worshipped strange gods.
| سَالِكِينَ حَسَبَ فَرَائِضِ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ، وَمِنْ أَمَامِ مُلُوكِهِمْ الَّذِينَ نَصَّبُوهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٨ 8 |
And they walked according to the way of the nations which the Lord had destroyed in the sight of the children of Israel and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like manner.
| وَارْتَكَبَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْخَفَاءِ مَعَاصِيَ فِي حَقِّ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، وَشَيَّدُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِهِمْ مِنْ بُرْجِ النَّوَاطِيرِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُحَصَّنَةِ، | ٩ 9 |
And the children of Israel offended the Lord their God with things that were not right: and built them high places in all their cities from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
| وَأَقَامُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ أَنْصَاباً وَتَمَاثِيلَ لِعَشْتَارُوثَ عَلَى كُلِّ تَلٍّ مُرْتَفِعٍ، وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، | ١٠ 10 |
And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:
| وَقَرَّبُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ كَسَائِرِ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ نَفَاهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ، وَاقْتَرَفُوا الْمُوبِقَاتِ لإِغَاظَةِ الرَّبِّ، | ١١ 11 |
And they burnt incense there upon altars after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.
| عَابِدِينَ الأَصْنَامَ الَّتِي حَذَّرَهُمْ وَنَهَاهُمُ الرَّبُّ عَنْهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.
| وَقَدْ أَنْذَرَ الرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا عَنْ طَرِيقِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ وَرَائِيهِ قَائِلاً: «ارْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِكُمُ الأَثِيمَةِ، وَأَطِيعُوا وَصَايَايَ وَفَرَائِضِي بِمُقْتَضَى كُلِّ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ بِتَطْبِيقِهَا، وَالَّتِي أَعْلَنْتُهَا لَكُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبِيدِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ». | ١٣ 13 |
And the Lord testified to them in Israel and in Juda by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.
| لَكِنَّهُمْ أَصَمُّوا أَذَانَهُمْ وَأَغْلَظُوا قُلُوبَهُمْ كَآبَائِهِمِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَثِقُوا بِالرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، | ١٤ 14 |
And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord their God.
| وَتَنَكَّرُوا لِفَرَائِضِهِ وَعَهْدِهِ الَّذِي أَبْرَمَهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ، وَتَجَاهَلُوا تَحْذِيرَاتِهِ وَنَوَاهِيَهُ لَهُمْ، وَضَلُّوا وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامٍ بَاطِلَةٍ، فَأَصْبَحُوا هُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ بَاطِلِينَ، وَتَمَثَّلُوا بِالأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُمْ، مَعَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَمَرَهُمْ أَلّا يَفْعَلُوا مِثْلَهُمْ، وَارْتَكَبُوا أُمُوراً نَهَاهُمُ الرَّبُّ عَنْهَا، | ١٥ 15 |
And they rejected his ordinances and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.
| وَنَبَذُوا جَمِيعَ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، وَصَنَعُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ عِجْلَيْنِ مَسْبُوكَيْنِ، وَأَقَامُوا تَمَاثِيلَ لِعَشْتَارُوثَ وَسَجَدُوا لِجَمِيعِ كَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ وَعَبَدُوا الْبَعْلَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And they forsook all the precepts of the Lord their God: and made to themselves two molten calves, and groves, and adored all the host of heaven: and they served Baal.
| وَأَجَازُوا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ فِي النَّارِ، وَتَعَاطَوْا العِرَافَةَ وَالْفَأْلَ وَبَاعُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لاِرْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ لإِثَارَةِ غَيْظِهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
And consecrated their sons, and their daughters through fire: and they gave themselves to divinations, and soothsayings: and they delivered themselves up to do evil before the Lord, to provoke him.
| فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَطَرَدَهُمْ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِ، وَلَمْ يُبْقِ سِوَى سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٨ 18 |
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.
| وَلَكِنْ حَتَّى سِبْطُ يَهُوذَا لَمْ يَحْفَظْ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ بَلْ نَهَجَ فِي طُرُقِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّتِي سَلَكَتْهَا. | ١٩ 19 |
But neither did Juda itself keep the commandments of the Lord their God: but they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.
| فَنَبَذَ الرَّبُّ كُلَّ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَذَلَّهُمْ وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ لِيَدِ آسِرِيهِمْ، وَطَرَدَهُمْ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face:
| لأَنَّهُ شَقَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ، فَتَوَّجُوا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنَ نَبَاطَ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَضَلَّ يَرُبْعَامُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الرَّبِّ وَاسْتَغْوَاهُمْ فَأَخْطَأُوا بِحَقِّ الرَّبِّ خَطِيئَةً عَظِيمَةً. | ٢١ 21 |
Even from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of David, and made Jeroboam son of Nabat their king: for Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.
| وَلَمْ يَعْدِلِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ عَنِ ارْتِكَابِ جَمِيعِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بَلْ أَمْعَنُوا فِي اقْتِرَافِهَا | ٢٢ 22 |
And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,
| فَنَفَى الرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِ كَمَا نَطَقَ عَلَى لِسَانِ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، فَسُبِيَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ إِلَى أَشُّورَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their land to Assyria, unto this day.
| وَنَقَلَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ أَقْوَاماً مِنْ بَابِلَ وَكُوثَ وَعَوَّا وَحَمَاةَ وَسَفَرْوَايِمَ، وَأَسْكَنَهُمْ مُدُنَ السَّامِرَةِ مَحَلَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى السَّامِرَةِ وَأَقَامُوا فِي مُدُنِهَا. | ٢٤ 24 |
And the king of the Assyrians brought people from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Avah, and from Emath, and from Sepharvaim: and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
| وَإِذْ لَمْ يَعْبُدِ الْمُسْتَوْطِنُونَ الْجُدَدُ الرَّبَّ فِي بَادِئِ الأَمْرِ، فَقَدْ أَطْلَقَ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمِ السِّبَاعَ الْمُتَوَحِّشَةَ فَافْتَرَسَتْ بَعْضَهُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.
| فَبَعَثُوا إِلَى مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ رِسَالَةً قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ الأَقْوَامَ الَّذِينَ قُمْتَ بِسَبْيِهِمْ وَإِسْكَانِهِمْ فِي مُدُنِ السَّامِرَةِ يَجْهَلُونَ قَضَاءَ إِلَهِ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ، فَأَطْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمِ السِّبَاعَ فَافْتَرَسَتْهُمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَجْهَلُونَ قَضَاءَهُ». | ٢٦ 26 |
And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: The nations which thou hast removed, and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions among them: and behold they kill them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
| فَأَمَرَ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ قَائِلاً: «ابْعَثُوا إِلَى هُنَاكَ أَحَدَ الْكَهَنَةِ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ فِي تِلْكَ الْبِلادِ، لِيُقِيمَ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَيُلَقِّنَهُمْ قَضَاءَ إِلَهِ الأَرْضِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence captive, and let him go, and dwell with them: and let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.
| فَجَاءَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْكَهَنَةِ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ مِنَ السَّامِرَةِ وَأَقَامَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَشَرَعَ يُلَقِّنُهُمْ كَيْفَ يَتَّقُونَ الرَّبَّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
So one of the priests who had been carried away captive from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should worship the Lord.
| وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ ظَلَّ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ يَصْنَعُونَ آلِهَتَهُمْ وَيَنْصِبُونَهَا فِي مَعَابِدِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّتِي شَيَّدَهَا السَّامِرِيُّونَ فِي الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي يُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
And every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the temples of the high places, which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities where they dwelt.
| فَعَبَدَ الْقَادِمُونَ مِنْ بَابِلَ أَصْنَامَ إِلَهِهِمْ سُكُّوثَ بَنُوثَ؛ وَعَبَدَ الْقَادِمُونَ مِنْ كُوثَ أَصْنَامَ إِلَهِهِمْ نَرْجَلَ، وَعَبَدَ الْقَادِمُونَ مِنْ حَمَاةَ أَصْنَامَ إِلَهِهِمْ أشِيمَا، | ٣٠ 30 |
For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.
| كَمَا عَبَدَ أَهْلُ عَوَّا نِبْحَزَ وَتَرْتَاقَ. أَمَّا أَهْلُ سَفَرْوَايِمَ فَكَانُوا يُحْرِقُونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ قَرَابِينَ لأَدْرَمَّلَكَ وَعَنَمَّلَكَ إِلَهَيْ سَفَرْوَايِمَ. | ٣١ 31 |
And the Hevites made Nebahaz and Tharthac. And they that were of Sepharvaim burnt their children in fire, to Adramelech and Anamelech the gods of Sepharvaim.
| فَكَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ الرَّبَّ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَيْضاً أَقَامُوا مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ كَهَنَةً يَخْدُمُونَ فِي مَعَابِدِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، وَيُقَرِّبُونَ مُحْرَقَاتِهِمْ فِيهَا. | ٣٢ 32 |
And nevertheless they worshipped the Lord. And they made to themselves, of the lowest of the people, priests of the high places, and they placed them in the temples of the high places.
| وَهَكَذَا كَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ الرَّبَّ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ، وَيَعْبُدُونَ آلِهَتَهُمُ الَّتِي حَمَلُوهَا مَعَهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي سُبُوا مِنْهَا مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى. | ٣٣ 33 |
And when they worshipped the Lord, they served also their own gods according to the custom of the nations out of which they were brought to Samaria:
| فَهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، يُمَارِسُونَ طُقُوسَهُمُ الأُولَى. فَأَصْبَحَتْ عِبَادَتُهُمْ خَلِيطاً مِنْ تَقْوَى الرَّبِّ وَمِنَ الطُّقُوسِ وَالْفَرَائِضِ الْوَثَنِيَّةِ، وَفْقاً لِتَقَالِيدِهِمْ، وَلَيْسَ بِمُقْتَضَى شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ وَالْوَصِيَّةِ الَّتِي أَمَرَ بِها ذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ الَّذِي حَوَّلَ اسْمَهُ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Unto this day they followed the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed Israel:
| فَقَدْ قَطَعَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَهْداً وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَلّا يَعْبُدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَلا يَسْجُدُوا لَهَا وَلا يَتَّقُوهَا وَلا يُقَرِّبُوا لَهَا الذَّبَائِحَ، | ٣٥ 35 |
With whom he made a covenant, and charged them, saying: You shall not fear strange gods, nor shall you adore them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them.
| بَلْ يَتَّقُوا الرَّبَّ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ بِقُوَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ مُقْتَدِرَةٍ، وَلَهُ وَحْدَهُ يَسْجُدُونَ وَيُقَرِّبُونَ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ، | ٣٦ 36 |
But the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.
| وَيُطِيعُونَ الْفَرَائِضَ وَالأَحْكَامَ وَالشَّرِيعَةَ وَالْوَصِيَّةَ الَّتِي كَتَبَهَا لَهُمْ لِيُمَارِسُوهَا كُلَّ حَيَاتِهِمْ وَلا يَتَّقُونَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى. | ٣٧ 37 |
And the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do them always: and you shall not fear strange gods.
| وَلا يَنْقُضُونَ الْعَهْدَ الَّذِي أَبْرَمَهُ مَعَهُمْ وَلا يَتَّقُونَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى. | ٣٨ 38 |
And the covenant that he made with you, you shall not forget: neither shall ye worship strange gods,
| إِنَّمَا يَتَّقُونَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ وَهُوَ يُنَجِّيهِمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ. | ٣٩ 39 |
But fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
| وَلَكِنَّ هَؤُلاءِ السُّكَّانَ أَصَمُّوا آذَانَهُمْ وَمَارَسُوا طُقُوسَهُمُ الْقَدِيمَةَ، | ٤٠ 40 |
But they did not hearken, but did according to their old custom.
| فَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ الرَّبَّ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ، وَيَعْبُدُونَ أَوْثَانَهُمْ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى. وَاقْتَفَى بَنُوهُمْ خُطَاهُمْ فِي مُمَارَسَاتِهِمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٤١ 41 |
So these nations feared the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.
