< 2 Chronicles 22 >

1 And the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the army had put all the older sons to death. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, became king.
وَمَلَّكَ سُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَخَزْيَا ٱبْنَهُ ٱلْأَصْغَرَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ قَتَلَهُمُ ٱلْغُزَاةُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مَعَ ٱلْعَرَبِ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. فَمَلَكَ أَخَزْيَا بْنُ يَهُورَامَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.١
2 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
كَانَ أَخَزْيَا ٱبْنَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَنَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ عَثَلْيَا بِنْتُ عُمْرِي.٢
3 He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, for his mother was his teacher in evil-doing.
وَهُوَ أَيْضًا سَلَكَ فِي طُرُقِ بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ لِأَنَّ أُمَّهُ كَانَتْ تُشِيرُ عَلَيْهِ بِفِعْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ.٣
4 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as the family of Ahab did; for after the death of his father they were his guides to his destruction.
فَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِثْلَ بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَهُ مُشِيرِينَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ أَبِيهِ لِإِبَادَتِهِ.٤
5 Acting on their suggestion, he went with Jehoram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the bowmen.
فَسَلَكَ بِمَشُورَتِهِمْ وَذَهَبَ مَعَ يُهورَامَ بْنِ أَخْآبَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ فِي رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ. وَضَرَبَ ٱلْأَرَامِيُّونَ يُورَامَ٥
6 And he went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which they had given him at Ramah when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to see Jehoram, the son of Ahab, because he was ill.
فَرَجَعَ لِيَبْرَأَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ بِسَبَبِ ٱلضَّرَبَاتِ ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبُوهُ إِيَّاهَا فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ عِنْدَ مُحَارَبَتِهِ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ. وَنَزَلَ عَزَرْيَا بْنُ يَهُورَامَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لِعِيَادَةِ يَهُورَامَ بْنِ أَخْآبَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مَرِيضًا.٦
7 Now by the purpose of God, Ahaziah's journey to see Jehoram was the cause of his downfall: for when he came there, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who had been marked out by the Lord for the destruction of the family of Ahab.
فَمِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ كَانَ هَلَاكُ أَخَزْيَا بِمَجِيئِهِ إِلَى يُورَامَ. فَإِنَّهُ حِينَ جَاءَ خَرَجَ مَعَ يَهُورَامَ إِلَى يَاهُوَ بْنِ نِمْشِي ٱلَّذِي مَسَحَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَطْعِ بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ.٧
8 Now when Jehu was effecting the punishment of the family of Ahab, he came to the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers, the servants of Ahaziah, and put them to death.
وَإِذْ كَانَ يَاهُو يَقْضِي عَلَى بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ وَجَدَ رُؤَسَاءَ يَهُوذَا وَبَنِي إِخْوَةِ أَخَزْيَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَ أَخَزْيَا فَقَتَلَهُمْ.٨
9 And he went in search of Ahaziah; and when they came where he was, (for he was in a secret place in Samaria, ) they took him to Jehu and put him to death; then they put his body to rest in the earth, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, whose heart was true to the Lord. So the family of Ahaziah had no power to keep the kingdom.
وَطَلَبَ أَخَزْيَا فَأَمْسَكُوهُ وَهُوَ مُخْتَبِئٌ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى يَاهُو وَقَتَلُوهُ وَدَفَنُوهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «إِنَّهُ ٱبْنُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ ٱلَّذِي طَلَبَ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِهِ». فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِبَيْتِ أَخَزْيَا مَنْ يَقْوَى عَلَى ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ.٩
10 Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom of Judah put to death.
وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ عَثَلْيَا أُمُّ أَخَزْيَا أَنَّ ٱبْنَهَا قَدْ مَاتَ، قَامَتْ وَأَبَادَتْ جَمِيعَ ٱلنَّسْلِ ٱلْمَلِكِيِّ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا.١٠
11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him and the woman who took care of him in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest and sister of Ahaziah, kept him safe from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death.
أَمَّا يَهُوشَبْعَةُ بِنْتُ ٱلْمَلِكِ فَأَخَذَتْ يُوآشَ بْنَ أَخَزْيَا وَسَرَقَتْهُ مِنْ وَسَطِ بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا، وَجَعَلَتْهُ هُوَ وَمُرْضِعَتَهُ فِي مُخْدَعِ ٱلسَّرِيرِ، وَخَبَّأَتْهُ يَهُوشَبْعَةُ بِنْتُ ٱلْمَلِكِ يَهُورَامَ ٱمْرَأَةُ يَهُويَادَاعَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ أُخْتَ أَخَزْيَا، مِنْ وَجْهِ عَثَلْيَا فَلَمْ تَقْتُلْهُ.١١
12 And she kept him safe with her in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah was ruling the land.
وَكَانَ مَعَهُمْ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ مُخْتَبِئًا سِتَّ سِنِينٍ وَعَثَلْيَا مَالِكَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٢
