2 Kings 11

1 Then Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah when she saw that her sonne was dead, she arose, and destroyed all the Kings seede.

١ وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ عَثَلْيَا أُمَّ أَخَزْيَا أَنَّ ابْنَهَا قَدْ قُتِلَ عَمَدَتْ إِلَى إِبَادَةِ النَّسْلِ الْمَلَكِيِّ.

2 But Iehosheba the daughter of King Ioram, and sister to Ahaziah tooke Ioash the sonne of Ahaziah, and stale him from among the Kings sonnes that shoulde be slaine, both him and his nource, keeping them in the bed chaber, and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slaine.

٢ وَلَمْ يَنْجُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَمِيعِ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَتْهُمْ جَدَّتُهُمْ عَثَلْيَا سِوَى يُوآشُ بْنُ أَخَزْيَا الَّذِي اخْتَطَفَتْهُ عَمَّتُهُ يَهُوشَبَعُ بِنْتُ الْمَلِكِ يُورَامَ مَعَ مُرْضِعَتِهِ مِنْ مُخْدَعِ النَّوْمِ وَخَبَّأَتْهُ عَنْ عَيْنَيِ عَثَلْيَا.

3 And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord sixe yeere: and Athaliah did reigne ouer the land.

٣ وَظَلَّ يَهُوآشُ مُخْتَبِئاً مَعَ مُرْضِعَتِهِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ مُدَّةَ سِتِّ سَنَوَاتٍ، كَانَتْ عَثَلْيَا فِي أَثْنَائِهَا مُتَرَبِّعَةً عَلَى عَرْشِ يَهُوذَا.

4 And the seuenth yeere Iehoiada sent and tooke the captaines ouer hundreths, with other captaines and them of the garde, and caused them to come vnto him into the house of the Lord, and made a couenant with them, and tooke an othe of them in the house of the Lord, and shewed them the Kings sonne.

٤ وَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ اسْتَدْعَى يَهُويَادَاعُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْمِئَاتِ مِنْ ضُبَّاطِ الْقَصْرِ وَحَرَسِ الْمَلِكَةِ، وَأَدْخَلَهُمْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، فَقَطَعَ مَعَهُمْ عَهْداً وَاسْتَحْلَفَهُمْ عَلَى الْكِتْمَانِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. ثُمَّ أَرَاهُمُ ابْنَ الْمَلِكِ.

5 And he commanded them, saying, This is it that ye must doe, The third part of you, that commeth on the Sabbath, shall warde towarde the Kings house:

٥ وَأَمَرَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «إِلَيْكُمْ مَا تَفْعَلُونَهُ. لِيَقُمْ ثُلْثُ الْحُرَّاسِ الْمُتَوَلِّينَ الْخِدْمَةَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ بِحِرَاسَةِ الْقَصْرِ.

6 And another third part in the gate of Sur: and another thirde part in the gate behinde them of the garde: and ye shall keepe watche in the house of Massah.

٦ وَلْيَحْرُسِ الثُّلْثُ الثَّانِي بَابَ سُورٍ، أَمَّا الثُّلْثُ الثَّالِثُ فَلْيَتَوَلَّ حِرَاسَةَ الْبَابِ وَرَاءَ الْحَرَسِ الْمَلَكِيِّ. وَهَكَذَا تَقُومُونَ بِالدِّفَاعِ عَنِ الْقَصْرِ وَصَدِّ كُلِّ هُجُومٍ.

7 And two parts of you, that is, all that goe out on the Sabbath day, shall keepe the watch of the house of the Lord about the King.

٧ وَعَلَى الْفِرْقَتَيْنِ الْمُعْفَاتَيْنِ مِنَ الْوَاجِبَاتِ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ الْقِيَامُ بِحِرَاسَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَحِمَايَةِ الْمَلِكِ.

8 And ye shall compasse the King rounde about, euery man with his weapon in his hande, and whosoeuer commeth within the ranges, let him be slayne: be you with the King, as he goeth out and in.

٨ فَتُحِيطُونَ بِالْمَلِكِ وَأَنْتُمْ مُدَجَّجُونَ بِالسِّلاحِ. وَاقْتُلُوا كُلَّ مَنْ يُحَاوِلُ أَنْ يَخْتَرِقَ الصُّفُوفَ إِلَيْهِ، وَلازِمُوا الْمَلِكَ فِي دُخُولِهِ وَخُرُوجِهِ».

9 And the captaines of the hundreths did according to all that Iehoiada the Priest commaded, and they tooke euery man his men that entred in to their charge on the Sabbath with them that went out of it on the Sabbath, and came to Iehoiada the Priest.

٩ فَنَفَّذَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْمِئَاتِ أَوَامِرَ يَهُويَادَاعَ الْكَاهِنِ، وَأَحْضَرَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ رِجَالَهُ سَوَاءَ كَانُوا مُعْفَيْنَ مِنْ خِدْمَةِ السَّبْتِ أَوِ الْمُكَلَّفِينَ بِها، إِلَى يَهُويَادَاعَ الْكَاهِنِ.

10 And the Priest gaue to the captaines of hundreths the speares and the shieldes that were King Dauids, and were in the house of the Lord.

١٠ فَسَلَّمَ الْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْمِئَاتِ حِرَابَ الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ وَأَتْرَاسَهُ الْمَحْفُوظَةَ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ،

11 And the garde stoode, euery man with his weapon in his hande, from the right side of the house to the left side, about the altar and about the house, round about the King.

١١ وَوَقَفَ الْحُرَّاسُ مُدَجَّجِينَ بِالسِّلاحِ مُحِيطِينَ بِمَخْبَإِ الْمَلِكِ وَحَوْلَ الْهَيْكَلِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ.

12 Then he brought out the Kings sonne, and put the crowne vpon him and gaue him the Testimonie, and they made him King: also they anoynted him, and clapt their handes, and sayde, God saue the King.

١٢ وَأَخْرَجَ يَهُويَادَاعُ ابْنَ الْمَلِكِ وَتَوَّجَهُ، وَأَعْطَاهُ نُسْخَةً مِنْ شَهَادَةِ الْعَهْدِ، فَنَصَّبُوهُ مَلِكاً وَمَسَحُوهُ وَصَفَّقُوا هَاتِفِينَ: «لِيَحْيَ الْمَلِكُ».

13 And when Athaliah heard the noyse of the running of the people, shee came in to the people in the house of the Lord.

١٣ وَحِينَ سَمِعَتْ عَثَلْيَا هُتَافَ الْحُرَّاسِ وَالشَّعْبِ، انْدَسَّتْ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ وَانْدَفَعَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ،

14 And when shee looked, beholde, the King stoode by a pillar, as the maner was, and the princes and the trumpetters by the King, and al the people of the land reioyced, and blew with trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cryed, Treason, treason.

١٤ فَشَاهَدَتِ الْمَلِكَ مُنْتَصِباً عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَفْقاً لِلتَّقْلِيدِ فِي تَتْوِيجِ الْمُلُوكِ، وَرُؤَسَاءُ الْحُرَّاسِ وَنَافِخُو الأَبْوَاقِ يُحِيطُونَ بِالْمَلِكِ، وَقَدِ امْتَزَجَتْ هُتَافَاتُ فَرَحِ الشَّعْبِ بِدَوِيِّ نَفْخِ الأَبْوَاقِ، فَشَقَّتْ عَثَلْيَا ثِيَابَهَا صَارِخَةً: «خِيَانَةٌ! خِيَانَةٌ!»

15 But Iehoiada the Priest commanded the captaines of the hundreths that had the rule of the hoste, and sayde vnto them, Haue her forth of the ranges, and he that followeth her, let him die by the sworde: for the Priest had sayd, Let her not be slaine in the house of the Lord.

١٥ فَأَمَرَ يَهُويَادَاعُ الْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْمِئَاتِ مِنْ قَادَةِ الْجَيْشِ قَائِلاً: «خُذُوهَا إِلَى خَارِجِ الصُّفُوفِ وَاقْتُلُوا بِالسَّيْفِ كُلَّ مَنْ يُحَاوِلُ إِنْقَاذَهَا». لأَنَّ الْكَاهِنَ أَمَرَ أَنْ لَا تُقْتَلَ دَاخِلَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

16 Then they laid hands on her, and she went by the way, by the which the horses goe to the house of the King, and there was she slaine.

١٦ فَقَبَضُوا عَلَيْهَا وَجَرُّوهَا إِلَى الْمَدْخَلِ الَّذِي تَعْبُرُ مِنْهُ الْخَيْلُ إِلَى سَاحَةِ الْقَصْرِ حَيْثُ قُتِلَتْ هُنَاكَ.

17 And Iehoiada made a couenant betweene the Lord, and the King and the people, that they should be the Lordes people: likewise betweene the King and the people.

١٧ وَأَبْرَمَ يَهُويَادَاعُ عَهْداً بَيْنَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ جِهَةٍ وَالْمَلِكِ والشَّعْبِ مِنْ جِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، حَتَّى يَكُونُوا شَعْباً لِلرَّبِّ، كَمَا أَبْرَمَ عَهْداً أَيْضاً بَيْنَ الْمَلِكِ وَالشَّعْبِ.

18 Then all the people of the lande went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it with his altars, and his images brake they downe courageously, and slewe Mattan the Priest of Baal before the altars: and the Priest set a garde ouer the house of the Lord.

١٨ ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ جَمِيعُ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ إِلَى مَعْبَدِ الْبَعْلِ، وَهَدَمُوا مَذَابِحَهُ وَحَطَّمُوا تَمَاثِيلَهُ، وَقَتَلُوا مَتَّانَ كَاهِنَ الْبَعْلِ أَمَامَ الْمَذْبَحِ. وَأَقَامَ الْكَاهِنُ حُرَّاساً عَلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

19 Then he tooke the captaines of hudreths, and the other captaines, and the garde, and all the people of the lande: and they brought the King from the house of the Lord, and came by the way of the gate of the garde to the Kings house: and he sate him downe on the throne of the Kings.

١٩ وَاصْطَحَبَ مَعَهُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْمِئَاتِ والضُّبَّاطَ وَالْحَرَسَ وَسَائِرَ الشَّعْبِ الْحَاضِرِ هُنَاكَ، وَوَاكَبُوا الْمَلِكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ عَبْرَ طَرِيقِ السُّعَاةِ إِلَى الْقَصْرِ حَيْثُ جَلَسَ عَلَى عَرْشِ الْمُلْكِ.

20 And all the people of the land reioyced, and the citie was in quiet: for they had slaine Athaliah with the sworde beside the Kings house.

٢٠ وَعَمَّ الْفَرَحُ الشَّعْبَ، وَغَمَرَتِ الْطُمَأْنِينَةُ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعْدَ مَقْتَلِ عَثَلْيَا بِالسَّيْفِ عِنْدَ الْقَصْرِ.

21 Seuen yeere olde was Iehoash when he began to reigne.

٢١ وَكَانَ يَهُوآشُ فِي السَّابِعَةِ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا اعْتَلَى الْعَرْشَ.
