2 Kings 16
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah, Ahaz, the son of Jotham, became king of Judah.
| فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِفَقْحَ بْنِ رَمَلْيَا، مَلَكَ آحَازُ بْنُ يُوثَامَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا. | ١ |
2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king; he was ruling for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord his God, as David his father did.
| كَانَ آحَازُ ٱبْنَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَلَمْ يَعْمَلِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، | ٢ |
3 But he went in the ways of the kings of Israel, and even made his son go through the fire, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.
| بَلْ سَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ عَبَّرَ ٱبْنَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ حَسَبَ أَرْجَاسِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣ |
4 And he made offerings, burning them in the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
| وَذَبَحَ وَأَوْقَدَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَعَلَى ٱلتِّلَالِ وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ. | ٤ |
5 Then Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war; and they made an attack on Ahaz, shutting him in, but were not able to overcome him.
| حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ رَصِينُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ وَفَقْحُ بْنُ رَمَلْيَا مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ، فَحَاصَرُوا آحَازَ وَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَغْلِبُوهُ. | ٥ |
6 At that time the king of Edom got Elath back for Edom, and sent the Jews out of Elath; and the Edomites came back to Elath where they are living to this day.
| فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ أَرْجَعَ رَصِينُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ أَيْلَةَ لِلْأَرَامِيِّينَ، وَطَرَدَ ٱلْيَهُودَ مِنْ أَيْلَةَ. وَجَاءَ ٱلْأَرَامِيُّونَ إِلَى أَيْلَةَ وَأَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٦ |
7 So Ahaz sent representatives to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and your son; come to my help against the kings of Aram and Israel who have taken up arms against me.
| وَأَرْسَلَ آحَازُ رُسُلًا إِلَى تَغْلَثَ فَلَاسِرَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَٱبْنُكَ. ٱصْعَدْ وَخَلِّصْنِي مِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ وَمِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْقَائِمَيْنِ عَلَيَّ». | ٧ |
8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold which were in the house of the Lord and in the king's store-house, and sent them as an offering to the king of Assyria.
| فَأَخَذَ آحَازُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ وَٱلذَّهَبَ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ هَدِيَّةً. | ٨ |
9 And the king of Assyria, in answer to his request, went up against Damascus and took it, and took its people away as prisoners to Kir, and put Rezin to death.
| فَسَمِعَ لَهُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ، وَصَعِدَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ وَأَخَذَهَا وَسَبَاهَا إِلَى قِيرَ، وَقَتَلَ رَصِينَ. | ٩ |
10 Then King Ahaz went to Damascus for a meeting with Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria; and there he saw the altar which was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a copy of the altar, giving the design of it and all the details of its structure.
| وَسَارَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ لِلِقَاءِ تَغْلَثَ فَلَاسِرَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، إِلَى دِمَشْقَ. وَرَأَى ٱلْمَذْبَحَ ٱلَّذِي فِي دِمَشْقَ. وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ إِلَى أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنِ شِبْهَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَشَكْلَهُ حَسَبَ كُلِّ صِنَاعَتِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 And from the copy King Ahaz sent from Damascus, Urijah made an altar and had it ready by the time King Ahaz came back from Damascus.
| فَبَنَى أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنُ مَذْبَحًا. حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ مِنْ دِمَشْقَ كَذَلِكَ عَمِلَ أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنُ، رَيْثَمَا جَاءَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ مِنْ دِمَشْقَ. | ١١ |
12 And when the king came from Damascus, he saw the altar; and he went up on it and made an offering on it.
| فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ مِنْ دِمَشْقَ رَأَى ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْمَذْبَحَ، فَتَقَدَّمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ إِلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَأَصْعَدَ عَلَيْهِ، | ١٢ |
13 He made his burned offering and his meal offering and his drink offering there, draining out the blood of his peace-offerings on the altar.
| وَأَوْقَدَ مُحْرَقَتَهُ وَتَقْدِمَتَهُ وَسَكَبَ سَكِيبَهُ، وَرَشَّ دَمَ ذَبِيحَةِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ ٱلَّتِي لَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. | ١٣ |
14 And the brass altar, which was before the Lord, he took from the front of the house, from between his altar and the house of the Lord, and put it on the north side of his altar.
| وَمَذْبَحُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَدَّمَهُ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلْبَيْتِ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلشِّمَالِيِّ. | ١٤ |
15 And King Ahaz gave orders to Urijah the priest, saying, Make the morning burned offering and the evening meal offering and the king's burned offering and meal offering, with the burned offerings of all the people and their meal offerings and drink offerings, on the great altar, and put on it all the blood of the burned offerings and of the beasts which are offered; but the brass altar will be for my use to get directions from the Lord.
| وَأَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنَ قَائِلًا: «عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ أَوْقِدْ مُحْرَقَةَ ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَتَقْدِمَةَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَمُحْرَقَةَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَتَقْدِمَتَهُ، مَعَ مُحْرَقَةِ كُلِّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتَقْدِمَتِهِمْ وَسَكَائِبِهِمْ، وَرُشَّ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ دَمِ مُحْرَقَةٍ وَكُلَّ دَمِ ذَبِيحَةٍ. وَمَذْبَحُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ يَكُونُ لِي لِلسُّؤَالِ». | ١٥ |
16 So Urijah the priest did everything as the king said
| فَعَمِلَ أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنُ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ. | ١٦ |
17 And King Ahaz took off the sides of the wheeled bases, and took down the great water-vessel from off the brass oxen which were under it and put it on a floor of stone.
| وَقَطَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ أَتْرَاسَ ٱلْقَوَاعِدِ وَرَفَعَ عَنْهَا ٱلْمِرْحَضَةَ، وَأَنْزَلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ عَنْ ثِيرَانِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَهُ وَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى رَصِيفٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ. | ١٧ |
18 the house of the Lord, because of the king of Assyria.
| وَرِوَاقَ ٱلسَّبْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَوْهُ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَمَدْخَلَ ٱلْمَلِكِ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، غَيَّرَهُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ. | ١٨ |
19 Now the rest of the things which Ahaz did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ آحَازَ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ | ١٩ |
20 And Ahaz went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.
| ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ آحَازُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ حَزَقِيَّا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٢٠ |
