< 2 Kings 11 >

1 Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom put to death.
فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ عَثَلْيَا أُمُّ أَخَزْيَا، أَنَّ ٱبْنَهَا قَدْ مَاتَ، قَامَتْ فَأَبَادَتْ جَمِيعَ ٱلنَّسْلِ ٱلْمَلِكِيِّ.١
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, with the woman who took care of him, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him in the bedroom; and they kept him safe from Athaliah, so that he was not put to death.
فَأَخَذَتْ يَهُوشَبَعُ بِنْتُ ٱلْمَلِكِ يُورَامَ، أُخْتُ أَخَزْيَا، يُوآشَ بْنَ أَخَزْيَا وَسَرِقَتْهُ مِنْ وَسْطِ بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا، هُوَ وَمُرْضِعَتَهُ مِنْ مُخْدَعِ ٱلسَّرِيرِ، وَخَبَّأُوهُ مِنْ وَجْهِ عَثَلْيَا فَلَمْ يُقْتَلْ.٢
3 And for six years she kept him safe in the house of the Lord, while Athaliah was ruling over the land.
وَكَانَ مَعَهَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ مُخْتَبِئًا سِتَّ سِنِينَ. وَعَثَلْيَا مَالِكَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.٣
4 Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the captains of hundreds of the Carians, and the armed men, and taking them into the house of the Lord, made an agreement with them, and made them take an oath in the house of the Lord, and let them see the king's son.
وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ أَرْسَلَ يَهُويَادَاعُ فَأَخَذَ رُؤَسَاءَ مِئَاتِ ٱلْجَلَّادِينَ وَٱلسُّعَاةِ، وَأَدْخَلَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَقَطَعَ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدًا وَٱسْتَحْلَفَهُمْ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَرَاهُمُ ٱبْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.٤
5 And he gave them orders, saying, This is what you are to do: the third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the king's house,
وَأَمَرَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «هَذَا مَا تَفْعَلُونَهُ: ٱلثُّلْثُ مِنْكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ،٥
6
وَٱلثُّلْثُ عَلَى بَابِ سُورٍ، وَٱلثُّلْثُ عَلَى ٱلْبَابِ وَرَاءَ ٱلسُّعَاةِ. فَتَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلْبَيْتِ لِلصَّدِّ.٦
7 And the two divisions of you, who go out on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the house of the Lord,
وَٱلْفِرْقَتَانِ مِنْكُمْ، جَمِيعُ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.٧
8 Will make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and whoever comes inside your lines is to be put to death; keep with the king, when he goes out and when he comes in.
وَتُحِيطُونَ بِٱلْمَلِكِ حَوَالَيْهِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سِلَاحُهُ بِيَدِهِ. وَمَنْ دَخَلَ ٱلصُّفُوفَ يُقْتَلُ. وَكُونُوا مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي خُرُوجِهِ وَدُخُولِهِ».٨
9 And the captains of hundreds did as Jehoiada the priest gave them orders; every one took with him his men, those who came in and those who went out on the Sabbath, and they came in to Jehoiada the priest.
فَفَعَلَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمِئَاتِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ، وَأَخَذُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ رِجَالَهُ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ مَعَ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، وَجَاءُوا إِلَى يَهُويَادَاعَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ.٩
10 And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's, and which were kept in the house of the Lord.
فَأَعْطَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ لِرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمِئَاتِ ٱلْحِرَابَ وَٱلْأَتْرَاسَ ٱلَّتِي لِلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.١٠
11 Then the armed men took up their positions, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, round about the altar and the house.
وَوَقَفَ ٱلسُّعَاةُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سِلَاحُهُ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ جَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَيْسَرِ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَٱلْبَيْتِ، حَوْلَ ٱلْمَلِكِ مُسْتَدِيرِينَ.١١
12 Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.
وَأَخْرَجَ ٱبْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلتَّاجَ وَأَعْطَاهُ ٱلشَّهَادَةَ، فَمَلَّكُوهُ وَمَسَحُوهُ وَصَفَّقُوا وَقَالُوا: «لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ».١٢
13 Now Athaliah, hearing the noise made by the people, came to the people in the house of the Lord;
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ عَثَلْيَا صَوْتَ ٱلسُّعَاةِ وَٱلشَّعْبِ، دَخَلَتْ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،١٣
14 And looking, she saw the king in his regular place by the pillar, and the captains and the horns near him; and all the people of the land giving signs of joy and sounding the horns. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, gave a cry, saying, Broken faith, broken faith!
وَنَظَرَتْ وَإِذَا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى ٱلْمِنْبَرِ حَسَبَ ٱلْعَادَةِ، وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ وَنَافِخُو ٱلْأَبْوَاقِ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلُّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَفْرَحُونَ وَيَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. فَشَقَّتْ عَثَلْيَا ثِيَابَهَا وَصَرَخَتْ: «خِيَانَةٌ، خِيَانَةٌ!».١٤
15 Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to those who were placed in authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword, for he said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.
فَأَمَرَ يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ، قُوَّادَ ٱلْجَيْشِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَخْرِجُوهَا إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلصُّفُوفِ، وَٱلَّذِي يَتْبَعُهَا ٱقْتُلُوهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ». لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَاهِنَ قَالَ: «لَا تُقْتَلُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ».١٥
16 So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the horses, and there she was put to death.
فَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ، وَمَضَتْ فِي طَرِيقِ مَدْخَلِ ٱلْخَيْلِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَقُتِلَتْ هُنَاكَ.١٦
17 And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and the king and the people, that they would be the Lord's people; and in the same way between the king and the people.
وَقَطَعَ يَهُويَادَاعُ عَهْدًا بَيْنَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلشَّعْبِ لِيَكُونُوا شَعْبًا لِلرَّبِّ، وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلشَّعْبِ.١٧
18 Then all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down: its altars and images were all broken to bits, and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars. And the priest put overseers over the Lord's house.
وَدَخَلَ جَمِيعُ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ وَهَدَمُوا مَذَابِحَهُ وَكَسَّرُوا تَمَاثِيلَهُ تَمَامًا، وَقَتَلُوا مَتَّانَ كَاهِنَ ٱلْبَعْلِ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَذَابِحِ. وَجَعَلَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ نُظَّارًا عَلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.١٨
19 Then he took the captains of hundreds, and the Carians, and the armed men, and all the people of the land; and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord, through the doorway of the armed men, to the king's house. And he took his place on the seat of the kings.
وَأَخَذَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ وَٱلْجَلَّادِينَ وَٱلسُّعَاةَ وَكُلَّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَأَنْزَلُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَتَوْا فِي طَرِيقِ بَابِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلْمُلُوكِ.١٩
20 So all the people of the land were glad, and the town was quiet; and they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king's house.
وَفَرِحَ جَمِيعُ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ. وَقَتَلُوا عَثَلْيَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.٢٠
21 And Jehoash was seven years old when he became king.
كَانَ يَهُوآشُ ٱبْنَ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ حِينَ مَلَكَ.٢١
