< Kings IV 11 >

1 And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.
فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ عَثَلْيَا أُمُّ أَخَزْيَا، أَنَّ ٱبْنَهَا قَدْ مَاتَ، قَامَتْ فَأَبَادَتْ جَمِيعَ ٱلنَّسْلِ ٱلْمَلِكِيِّ.١
2 And Josabee daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of her brother, and stole him from among the king's sons that were put to death, [secreting] him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Gotholia, and he was not slain.
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 he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.
وَكَانَ مَعَهَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ مُخْتَبِئًا سِتَّ سِنِينَ. وَعَثَلْيَا مَالِكَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.٣
4 And in the seventh year Jodae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jodae shewed them 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 charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which ye shall do.
وَأَمَرَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «هَذَا مَا تَفْعَلُونَهُ: ٱلثُّلْثُ مِنْكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ،٥
6 Let a third part of you go in [on] the sabbath-day, and keep ye the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep ye the guard of the house.
وَٱلثُّلْثُ عَلَى بَابِ سُورٍ، وَٱلثُّلْثُ عَلَى ٱلْبَابِ وَرَاءَ ٱلسُّعَاةِ. فَتَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلْبَيْتِ لِلصَّدِّ.٦
7 And there [shall be] two parties among you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.
وَٱلْفِرْقَتَانِ مِنْكُمْ، جَمِيعُ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.٧
8 And do ye compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming 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 all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae 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 swords and spears of king David that were in the house of the Lord.
فَأَعْطَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ لِرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمِئَاتِ ٱلْحِرَابَ وَٱلْأَتْرَاسَ ٱلَّتِي لِلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.١٠
11 And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, [by] the altar and the house round about the king.
وَوَقَفَ ٱلسُّعَاةُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سِلَاحُهُ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ جَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَيْسَرِ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَٱلْبَيْتِ، حَوْلَ ٱلْمَلِكِ مُسْتَدِيرِينَ.١١
12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown and [gave him] the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped [their] hands, and said, Long live the king.
وَأَخْرَجَ ٱبْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلتَّاجَ وَأَعْطَاهُ ٱلشَّهَادَةَ، فَمَلَّكُوهُ وَمَسَحُوهُ وَصَفَّقُوا وَقَالُوا: «لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ».١٢
13 And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ عَثَلْيَا صَوْتَ ٱلسُّعَاةِ وَٱلشَّعْبِ، دَخَلَتْ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،١٣
14 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood near a pillar according to the manner; and the singers and the trumpeters were before the king and all the people of the land [even] rejoicing and sounding with trumpets: and Gotholia rent her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
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 And Jodae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain 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 And they laid hands upon her, and went in by the way of the horses' entrance into the house of the Lord, and she was slain there.
فَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ، وَمَضَتْ فِي طَرِيقِ مَدْخَلِ ٱلْخَيْلِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَقُتِلَتْ هُنَاكَ.١٦
17 And Jodae made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; also between the king and the people.
وَقَطَعَ يَهُويَادَاعُ عَهْدًا بَيْنَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلشَّعْبِ لِيَكُونُوا شَعْبًا لِلرَّبِّ، وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلشَّعْبِ.١٧
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and completely broke in pieces his altars and his images, and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.
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 And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Chorri, and the Rhasim, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of the Lord; and they went in by the way of the gate of the footmen of the king's house, and seated him there on the throne 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 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they slew Gotholia with the sword in the house of the king.
وَفَرِحَ جَمِيعُ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ. وَقَتَلُوا عَثَلْيَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.٢٠
21 Joas [was] seven years old when he began to reign.
كَانَ يَهُوآشُ ٱبْنَ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ حِينَ مَلَكَ.٢١
