2 مُلُوك 23
| عِنْدَئِذٍ أَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ فَاسْتَدْعَى إِلَيْهِ كُلَّ شُيُوخِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١ 1 |
And the king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
| وَتَوَجَّهَ مَعَهُمْ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، يُرَافِقُهُ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَالْكَهَنَةُ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ وَجَمِيعُ أَبْنَاءِ الشَّعْبِ مِنْ صِغَارٍ وَكِبَارٍ، فَقَرَأَ فِي مَسَامِعِهِمْ كُلَّ كَلامِ سِفْرِ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّذِي تَمَّ الْعُثُورُ عَلَيْهِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢ 2 |
And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
| وَوَقَفَ الْمَلِكُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَقَطَعَ عَهْداً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ أَنْ يَتَّبِعَ الرَّبَّ، حَافِظاً وَصَايَاهُ وَشَهَادَاتِهِ وَفَرَائِضَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ الْقَلْبِ وَالنَّفْسِ، لِتَطْبِيقِ كَلامِ هَذَا الْعَهْدِ الْمُدَوَّنِ فِي هَذَا السِّفْرِ. فَوَعَدَ الشَّعْبُ بِالْوَفَاءِ بِهَذَا الْعَهْدِ. | ٣ 3 |
And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
| وَأَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ حِلْقِيَّا رَئِيسَ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَكَهَنَةَ الْفِرْقَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ، وَحُرَّاسَ الْبَابِ، أَنْ يَطْرَحُوا مِنْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ جَمِيعَ الآنِيَةِ الْمَصْنُوعَةِ لِلْبَعْلِ وَلِعَشْتَارُوثَ وَلِكُلِّ كَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ. وَأَحْرَقَهَا خَارِجَ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي حُقُولِ وَادِي قَدْرُونَ، وَحَمَلَ رَمَادَهَا إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ. | ٤ 4 |
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them to Bethel.
| وَأَبَادَ كَهَنَةَ الأَصْنَامِ الَّذِينَ أَقَامَهُمْ مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا لِيُوْقِدُوا عَلَى مَذَابِحِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَضَوَاحِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكَذَلِكَ قَضَى عَلَى الْكَهَنَةِ الَّذِينَ يُحْرِقُونَ لِلْبَعْلِ وَلِلشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ وَلِلأَبْرَاجِ الْفَلَكِيَّةِ وَلِسَائِرِ الْكَوَاكِبِ. | ٥ 5 |
And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
| وَأَخْرَجَ تِمْثَالَ عَشْتَارُوثَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى خَارِجِ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى وَادِي قَدْرُونَ، وَأَحْرَقَهُ وَسَحَقَهُ إِلَى أَنْ أَصْبَحَ غُبَاراً، وَذَرَّى الْغُبَارَ عَلَى قُبُورِ عَامَّةِ الشَّعْبِ. | ٦ 6 |
And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof on the graves of the children of the people.
| وَهَدَمَ بُيُوتَ ذَوِي الشُّذُوذِ الْجِنْسِيِّ الْقَائِمَةَ حَوَالَيْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، حَيْثُ كَانَتِ النِّسَاءُ يَنْسُجْنَ ثِيَاباً لِتِمْثَالِ عَشْتَارُوثَ. | ٧ 7 |
And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
| وَاسْتَدْعَى يُوشِيَّا جَمِيعَ الْكَهَنَةِ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، وَدَنَّسَ كُلَّ أَمَاكِنِ الْعِبَادَةِ الْوَثَنِيَّةِ فِي التِّلالِ، حَيْثُ كَانَ الْكَهَنَةُ يُوقِدُونَ مِنْ جَبَعَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، وَهَدَمَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ قَائِمَةً عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ قَصْرِ يَشُوعَ مُحَافِظِ الْمَدِينَةِ، إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الأَيْسَرِ مِنْ بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ٨ 8 |
And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and broke down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
| وَلَمْ يَدَعْ كَهَنَةَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ يَسْتَخْدِمُونَ مَذْبَحَ الرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَإِنْ شَارَكُوا بَقِيَّةَ إِخْوَتِهِمِ الْكَهَنَةِ فِي أَكْلِ خُبْزِ الْفَطِيرِ، | ٩ 9 |
Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brothers.
| وَدَنَّسَ الْمَلِكُ أَيْضاً مَذْبَحَ تُوفَةَ فِي وَادِي بَنِي هِنُّومَ، لِكَيْ لَا يُجِيزَ أَحَدٌ ابْنَهُ أَوِ ابْنَتَهُ فِي النَّارِ للِصَّنَمِ مُولَكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
| وَأَبَادَ الْخَيْلَ الَّتِي كَرَّسَهَا مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا لإِلَهِ الشَّمْسِ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ بِجُوَارِ حُجْرَةِ نَثْنَمْلَكَ مُدِيرِ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ، وَأَحْرَقَ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ الْمُكَرَّسَةَ لِعِبَادَةِ الشَّمْسِ. | ١١ 11 |
And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
| وَهَدَمَ الْمَلِكُ الْمَذَابِحَ الَّتِي عَلَى سَطْحِ عُلِّيَّةِ آحَازَ الَّتِي أَقَامَهَا مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا، وَأَيْضاً الْمَذَابِحَ الَّتِي بَنَاهَا مَنَسَّى فِي سَاحَتَيِ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَسَحَقَ حِجَارَتَهَا هُنَاكَ ثُمَّ ذَرَّاهَا فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ | ١٢ 12 |
And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and broke them down from there, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
| وَنَجَّسَ الْمَلِكُ جَمِيعَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الْمُوَاجِهَةِ لأُورُشَلِيمَ، الْقَائِمَةِ عَنْ يَمِينِ جَبَلِ الْهَلاكِ، الَّتِي بَنَاهَا سُلَيْمَانُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِعَشْتَارُوثَ إِلَهَةِ صِيدُونَ الرِّجْسَةِ، وَلِكَمُوشَ إِلَهِ مُوآبَ النَّجِسِ، وَلِمَلْكُومَ إِلَهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ الْمَقِيتِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
| وَحَطَّمَ التَّمَاثِيلَ، وَقَطَّعَ أَعْمِدَةَ الأَصْنَامِ، وَمَلأَ مَكَانَهَا مِنْ عِظَامِ النَّاسِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And he broke in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
| وَكَذَلِكَ هَدَمَ الْمَذْبَحَ الَّذِي شَيَّدَهُ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَبَاطَ فِي مُرْتَفَعَةِ بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَاسْتَغْوَى بِذَلِكَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ فَأَخْطَأُوا. ثُمَّ أَحْرَقَ الْمَذْبَحَ وَسَحَقَ الْمُرْتَفَعَةَ، حَتَّى تَحَوَّلَتْ إِلَى غُبَارٍ، وَأَحْرَقَ عَمُودَ الصَّنَمِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he broke down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
| وَتَلَفَّتَ الْمَلِكُ يُوشِيَّا حَوْلَهُ فَشَاهَدَ مَقَابِرَ مُنْتَشِرَةً عَلَى الْجَبَلِ، فَأَرْسَلَ وَجَمَعَ عِظَامَهَا وَأَحْرَقَهَا عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، وَنَجَّسَهُ تَتْمِيماً لِقَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ رَجُلُ اللهِ بِشَأْنِ مَذْبَحِ يَرُبْعَامَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchers that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchers, and burned them on the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
| وَسَأَلَ الْمَلِكُ: «مَا هَذَا النَّصَبُ الَّذِي أَرَاهُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ رِجَالُ الْمَدِينَةِ: «هُوَ قَبْرُ رَجُلِ اللهِ الَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا وَأَنْبَأَ بِكُلِّ مَا أَجْرَيْتَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ». | ١٧ 17 |
Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulcher of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel.
| فَقَالَ: «دَعُوهُ. لَا يُحَرِّكْ أَحَدٌ عِظَامَهُ». فَتَرَكُوا عِظَامَهُ وَعِظَامَ نَبِيِّ السَّامِرَةِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
| وَأَزَالَ يُوشِيَّا جَمِيعَ مَعَابِدِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الْمُنْتَشِرَةِ فِي مُدُنِ السَّامِرَةِ، الَّتِي بَنَاهَا مُلُوكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لإِثَارَةِ سَخَطِ الرَّبِّ، وَأَجْرَى عَلَيْهَا مَا أَجْرَاهُ عَلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ. | ١٩ 19 |
And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
| وَقَتَلَ جَمِيعَ كَهَنَةِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّتِي هُنَاكَ عَلَى الْمَذَابِحِ، وَأَحْرَقَ عِظَامَ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهَا. ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them, and returned to Jerusalem.
| وَأَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ جَمِيعَ الشَّعْبِ قَائِلاً: «احْتَفِلُوا بِفِصْحِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ كَمَا هُوَ مُدَوَّنٌ فِي سِفْرِ الْعَهْدِ هَذَا». | ٢١ 21 |
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
| إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدِ احْتُفِلَ بِعِيدِ الْفِصْحِ هَذَا مُنْذُ أَيَّامِ الْقُضَاةِ الَّذِينَ حَكَمُوا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلا فِي كُلِّ حِقْبَةِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
Surely there was not held such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
| وَلَكِنْ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ عَشْرَةَ لِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ يُوشِيَّا احْتُفِلَ بِهَذَا الْفِصْحِ لِلرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ | ٢٣ 23 |
But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was held to the LORD in Jerusalem.
| وَأَبَادَ يُوشِيَّا أَيْضاً السَّحَرَةَ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ وَأَصْنَامَ الآلِهَةِ الَّتِي يَتَعَبَّدُ لَهَا النَّاسُ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ، وَالأَوْثَانَ وَجَمِيعَ الرَّجَاسَاتِ الَّتِي اسْتَشْرَتْ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَذَلِكَ لِيُطَبِّقَ مَا وَرَدَ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ الْمُدَوَّنَةِ فِي السِّفْرِ الَّذِي عَثَرَ عَلَيْهِ حِلْقِيَّا رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
| وَلَمْ يَقُمْ مَلِكٌ مِثْلَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلا مِنْ بَعْدُ، رَجَعَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ بِمُقْتَضَى شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى. | ٢٥ 25 |
And like to him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ عَنْ شِدَّةِ غَضَبِهِ، لأَنَّ غَضَبَهُ احْتَدَمَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا لِفَرْطِ مَا أَثَارَ مَنَسَّى مِنْ سَخَطِهِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him with.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «سَأَسْتَأْصِلُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَمَامِي كَمَا اسْتَأْصَلْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَتَنَكَّرُ لأُورُشَلِيمَ، الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا، وَلِلْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي قُلْتُ يَكُونُ اسْمِي فِيهِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
| أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ يُوشِيَّا وَكُلُّ مُنْجَزَاتِهِ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ | ٢٨ 28 |
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
| وَفِي أَيَّامِ حُكْمِ يُوشِيَّا زَحَفَ فِرْعَوْنُ نَخُوُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ نَحْوَ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ لِمُسَاعَدَةِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ، فَهَبَّ يُوشِيَّا لِمُسَاعَدَةِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ عِنْدَ مَجِدُّو، فَقَتَلَهُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ، فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
| فَحَمَلَهُ رِجَالُهُ فِي مَرْكَبَةٍ وَعَادُوا بِهِ مِنْ مَجِدُّو لأُورُشَلِيمَ، حَيْثُ دَفَنُوهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ. فَوَلَّى الشَّعْبُ يَهُوَأَحَازَ بْنَ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ خَلَفاً لأَبِيهِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulcher. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
| وَكَانَ يَهُوأَحَازُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَمُوطَلُ بِنْتُ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ لِبْنَةَ. | ٣١ 31 |
Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
| وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ مَا فَعَلَ آبَاؤُهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
| وَاعْتَقَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ نَخُوَ يَهُوآحَازَ وَقَيَّدَهُ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ لِئَلّا يَمْلِكَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَفَرَضَ جِزْيَةً عَلَى الْبِلادِ: مِئَةَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِ مِئَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً)، وَوَزْنَةً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامَاتٍ). | ٣٣ 33 |
And Pharaohnechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
| وَنَصَّبَ فِرْعَوْنُ نَخُوَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ بْنَ يُوشِيَّا خَلَفاً لِيُوشِيَّا أَبِيهِ، وَغَيَّرَ اسْمَهُ إِلَى يَهُويَاقِيمَ. ثُمَّ سَاقَ يَهُوآحَازَ أَسِيراً إِلَى مِصْرَ حَيْثُ مَاتَ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.
| وَأَدَّى يَهُويَاقِيمُ جِزْيَةَ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ لِفِرْعَوْنَ، إِلّا أَنَّهُ فَرَضَ ضَرَائِبَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبِلادِ لِيَتَمَكَّنَ مِنْ دَفْعِهَا، بِحَسَبِ مَا يَمْتَلِكُونَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it to Pharaohnechoh.
| وَكَانَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ زَبِيدَةُ بِنْتُ فِدَايَةَ مِنْ رُومَةَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
| وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ مَا فَعَلَ آبَاؤُهُ. | ٣٧ 37 |
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
