< 2 Kings 24 >

1 During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.
فِي أَيَّامِهِ صَعِدَ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، فَكَانَ لَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ عَبْدًا ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ. ثُمَّ عَادَ فَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَيْهِ.١
2 And the Lord sent to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants, the prophets.
فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ غُزَاةَ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَغُزَاةَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ، وَغُزَاةَ ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ، وَغُزَاةَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ عَلَى يَهُوذَا لِيُبِيدَهَا حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ.٢
3 Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which he did,
إِنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى يَهُوذَا لِيَنْزِعَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ لِأَجْلِ خَطَايَا مَنَسَّى حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ.٣
4 and because of the innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.
وَكَذَلِكَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلْبَرِيءِ ٱلَّذِي سَفَكَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ مَلَأَ أُورُشَلِيمَ دَمًا بَرِيئًا، وَلَمْ يَشَإِ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ.٤
5 But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟٥
6 And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَمَلَكَ يَهُويَاكِينُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.٦
7 And the king of Egypt no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
وَلَمْ يَعُدْ أَيْضًا مَلِكُ مِصْرَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ، لِأَنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ أَخَذَ مِنْ نَهْرِ مِصْرَ إِلَى نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لِمَلِكِ مِصْرَ.٧
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
كَانَ يَهُويَاكِينُ ٱبْنَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ نَحُوشْتَا بِنْتُ أَلِنَاثَانَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.٨
9 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ أَبُوهُ.٩
10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ صَعِدَ عَبِيدُ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ تَحْتَ ٱلْحِصَارِ.١٠
11 And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
وَجَاءَ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَانَ عَبِيدُهُ يُحَاصِرُونَهَا.١١
12 And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.
فَخَرَجَ يَهُويَاكِينُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، هُوَ وَأُمُّهُ وَعَبِيدُهُ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُ وَخِصْيَانُهُ، وَأَخَذَهُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِهِ.١٢
13 And he took from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.
وَأَخْرَجَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ جَمِيعَ خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَخَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكَسَّرَ كُلَّ آنِيَةِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.١٣
14 And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.
وَسَبَى كُلَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَكُلَّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَجَمِيعَ جَبَابِرَةِ ٱلْبَأْسِ، عَشْرَةَ آلَافِ مَسْبِيٍّ، وَجَمِيعَ ٱلصُّنَّاعِ وَٱلْأَقْيَانِ. لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا مَسَاكِينُ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٤
15 Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, from Jerusalem to Babylon,
وَسَبَى يَهُويَاكِينَ إِلَى بَابِلَ. وَأُمَّ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَنِسَاءَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَخِصْيَانَهُ وَأَقْوِيَاءَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، سَبَاهُمْ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَابِلَ.١٥
16 and all the robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, into Babylon.
وَجَمِيعُ أَصْحَابِ ٱلْبَأْسِ، سَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ، وَٱلصُّنَّاعُ وَٱلْأَقْيَانُ أَلْفٌ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْأَبْطَالِ أَهْلِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، سَبَاهُمْ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ إِلَى بَابِلَ.١٦
17 And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
وَمَلَّكَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ مَتَّنِيَّا عَمَّهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ، وَغَيَّرَ ٱسْمَهُ إِلَى صِدْقِيَّا.١٧
18 Zedekiah held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
كَانَ صِدْقِيَّا ٱبْنَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَمِّيطَلُ بِنْتُ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ لِبْنَةَ.١٨
19 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ.١٩
20 For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.
لِأَنَّهُ لِأَجْلِ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى يَهُوذَا حَتَّى طَرَحَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِهِ، كَانَ أَنَّ صِدْقِيَّا تَمَرَّدَ عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.٢٠
