Kings IV 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem; and he encamped against it, and built a mound against it.
| وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ فِي عَاشِرِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، جَاءَ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ هُوَ وَكُلُّ جَيْشِهِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهَا، وَبَنَوْا عَلَيْهَا أَبْرَاجًا حَوْلَهَا. | ١ |
2 And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedekias on the ninth day of the month.
| وَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ تَحْتَ ٱلْحِصَارِ إِلَى ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ صِدْقِيَّا. | ٢ |
3 And the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
| فِي تَاسِعِ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱشْتَدَّ ٱلْجُوعُ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خُبْزٌ لِشَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٣ |
4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went forth by night, by the way of the gate between the walls, this is [the gate] of the king's garden: and the Chaldeans [were set] against the city round about: and [the king] went by the way of the plain.
| فَثُغِرَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ، وَهَرَبَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْقِتَالِ لَيْلًا مِنْ طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَابِ بَيْنَ ٱلسُّورَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ نَحْوَ جَنَّةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَكَانَ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيُّونَ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مُسْتَدِيرِينَ. فَذَهَبُوا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٤ |
5 And the force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army was dispersed from about him.
| فَتَبِعَتْ جُيُوشُ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلْمَلِكَ فَأَدْرَكُوهُ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ أَرِيحَا، وَتَفَرَّقَتْ جَمِيعُ جُيُوشِهِ عَنْهُ. | ٥ |
6 And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha; and he gave judgement upon him.
| فَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى رَبْلَةَ وَكَلَّمُوهُ بِٱلْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ. | ٦ |
7 And he killed the sons of Sedekias before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters, and brought him to Babylon.
| وَقَتَلُوا بَنِي صِدْقِيَّا أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَقَلَعُوا عَيْنَيْ صِدْقِيَّا وَقَيَّدُوهُ بِسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَجَاءُوا بِهِ إِلَى بَابِلَ. | ٧ |
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (this [is] the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon), came Nabuzardan, captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem.
| وَفِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْخَامِسِ، فِي سَابِعِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَهِيَ ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلتَّاسِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، جَاءَ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ عَبْدُ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ٨ |
9 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every house did the captain of the guard burn.
| وَأَحْرَقَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ أَحْرَقَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٩ |
10 And the force of the Chaldeans pulled down the wall of Jerusalem round about.
| وَجَمِيعُ أَسْوَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مُسْتَدِيرًا هَدَمَهَا كُلُّ جُيُوشِ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَ رَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ. | ١٠ |
11 And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard removed the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the men who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلْهَارِبُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَرَبُوا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَبَقِيَّةُ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ سَبَاهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ. | ١١ |
12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vine-dressers and husbandmen.
| وَلَكِنَّ رَئِيسَ ٱلشُّرَطِ أَبْقَى مِنْ مَسَاكِينِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَرَّامِينَ وَفَلَّاحِينَ. | ١٢ |
13 And the Chaldeans broke to pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, and carried their brass to Babylon.
| وَأَعْمِدَةَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلْقَوَاعِدَ وَبَحْرَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَسَّرَهَا ٱلْكِلْدَانِيُّونَ، وَحَمَلُوا نُحَاسَهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ. | ١٣ |
14 And the cauldrons, and the shovels, and the bowls, and the censers, and all the brazen vessels with which they minister, he took.
| وَٱلْقُدُورَ وَٱلرُّفُوشَ وَٱلْمَقَاصَّ وَٱلصُّحُونَ وَجَمِيعَ آنِيَةِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَا، أَخَذُوهَا. | ١٤ |
15 And the captain of the guard took the fire-pans, and the gold and silver bowls.
| وَٱلْمَجَامِرَ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحَ. مَا كَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَٱلذَّهَبُ، وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَٱلْفِضَّةُ، أَخَذَهَا رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ. | ١٥ |
16 Two pillars, and one sea, and the bases which Solomon made for the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all the vessels.
| وَٱلْعَمُودَانِ وَٱلْبَحْرُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ وَٱلْقَوَاعِدُ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لَمْ يَكُنْ وَزْنٌ لِنُحَاسِ كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَدَوَاتِ. | ١٦ |
17 The height of one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was of brass: and the height of the chapiter was three cubits: the border, and the pomegranates on the chapiter round about were all of brass: and so it was with the second pillar with its border.
| ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعًا ٱرْتِفَاعُ ٱلْعَمُودِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ، وَعَلَيْهِ تَاجٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَٱرْتِفَاعُ ٱلتَّاجِ ثَلَاثُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَٱلشَّبَكَةُ وَٱلرُّمَّانَاتُ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى ٱلتَّاجِ مُسْتَدِيرَةً جَمِيعُهَا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. وَكَانَ لِلْعَمُودِ ٱلثَّانِي مِثْلُ هَذِهِ عَلَى ٱلشَّبَكَةِ. | ١٧ |
18 And the captain of the guard took Saraias the high-priest, and Sophonias the second in order, and the three doorkeepers.
| وَأَخَذَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ سَرَايَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلرَّئِيسَ، وَصَفَنْيَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلثَّانِي، وَحَارِسِي ٱلْبَابِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ. | ١٨ |
19 And they took out of the city one eunuch who was commander of the men of war, and five men that saw the face of the king, that were found in the city, and the secretary of the commander-in-chief, who took account of the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city.
| وَمِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ أَخَذَ خَصِيًّا وَاحِدًا كَانَ وَكِيلًا عَلَى رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَخَمْسَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْظُرُونَ وَجْهَ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِينَ وُجِدُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَاتِبَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْجُنْدِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَجْمَعُ شَعْبَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَسِتِّينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ | ١٩ |
20 And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
| وَأَخَذَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ وَسَارَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى رَبْلَةَ. | ٢٠ |
21 And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Reblatha in the land of Aemath. So Juda was carried away from his land.
| فَضَرَبَهُمْ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ. فَسُبِيَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 And [as for] the people that were left in the land of Juda, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon left, even over them he set Godolias son of Achicam son of Saphan.
| وَأَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي بَقِيَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلَّذِينَ أَبْقَاهُمْ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، فَوَكَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ جَدَلْيَا بْنَ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ. | ٢٢ |
23 And all the captains of the host, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had [thus] appointed Godolias, and they came to Godolias to Massephath, both Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Jona son of Careth, and Saraias, son of Thanamath the Netophathite, and Jezonias son of a Machathite, they and their men.
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجُيُوشِ هُمْ وَرِجَالُهُمْ أَنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدْ وَكَّلَ جَدَلْيَا أَتَوْا إِلَى جَدَلْيَا إِلَى ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ، وَهُمْ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ نَثَنْيَا، وَيُوحَنَانُ بْنُ قَارِيحَ، وَسَرَايَا بْنُ تَنْحُومَثَ ٱلنَّطُوفَاتِيِّ، وَيَازَنْيَا ٱبْنُ ٱلْمَعْكِيِّ، هُمْ وَرِجَالُهُمْ. | ٢٣ |
24 And Godolias swore to them and their men, and said to them, Fear not the incursion of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
| وَحَلَفَ جَدَلْيَا لَهُمْ وَلِرِجَالِهِمْ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْ عَبِيدِ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ. ٱسْكُنُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ وَتَعَبَّدُوا لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ فَيَكُونَ لَكُمْ خَيْرٌ». | ٢٤ |
25 And it came to pass in the seventh month [that] Ismael son of Nathanias son of Helisama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and he struck Godolias, that he died, [him] and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him in Massepha.
| وَفِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ جَاءَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ نَثَنْيَا بْنِ أَلِيشَمَعَ مِنَ ٱلنَّسْلِ ٱلْمَلِكِيِّ، وَعَشْرَةُ رِجَالٍ مَعَهُ وَضَرَبُوا جَدَلْيَا فَمَاتَ، وَأَيْضًا ٱلْيَهُودُ وَٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ. | ٢٥ |
26 And all the people, great and small rose up, [they] and the captains of the forces, and went into Egypt; because they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
| فَقَامَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنَ ٱلصَّغِيرِ إِلَى ٱلْكَبِيرِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْجُيُوشِ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ خَافُوا مِنَ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٦ |
27 And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the carrying away of Joachim king of Juda, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, [that] Evialmarodec king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Joachim king of Juda, and brought him out of his prison-house.
| وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِسَبْيِ يَهُويَاكِينَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي عَشَرَ فِي ٱلسَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، رَفَعَ أَوِيلُ مَرُودَخُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، فِي سَنَةِ تَمَلُّكِهِ، رَأْسَ يَهُويَاكِينَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ | ٢٧ |
28 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the thrones of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
| وَكَلَّمَهُ بِخَيْرٍ، وَجَعَلَ كُرْسِيَّهُ فَوْقَ كَرَاسِيِّ ٱلْمُلُوكِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي بَابِلَ. | ٢٨ |
29 And changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
| وَغَيَّرَ ثِيَابَ سِجْنِهِ. وَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ دَائِمًا ٱلْخُبْزَ أَمَامَهُ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ. | ٢٩ |
30 And his portion, a continual portion, was given him out of the house of the king, a daily rate for every day all the days of his life.
| وَوَظِيفَتُهُ وَظِيفَةٌ دَائِمَةٌ تُعْطَى لَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، أَمْرُ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ. | ٣٠ |
