2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
| 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 unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
| وَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ تَحْتَ ٱلْحِصَارِ إِلَى ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ صِدْقِيَّا. | ٢ |
3 And on the ninth [day] of the [fourth] month 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 [fled] by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which [is] by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees [were] against the city round about: ) and [the king] went the way toward 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 army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
| فَتَبِعَتْ جُيُوشُ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلْمَلِكَ فَأَدْرَكُوهُ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ أَرِيحَا، وَتَفَرَّقَتْ جَمِيعُ جُيُوشِهِ عَنْهُ. | ٥ |
6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
| فَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى رَبْلَةَ وَكَلَّمُوهُ بِٱلْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ. | ٦ |
7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried 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, which [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto 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, and every great [man’s] house burnt he with fire.
| وَأَحْرَقَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ أَحْرَقَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٩ |
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that [were with] the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
| وَجَمِيعُ أَسْوَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مُسْتَدِيرًا هَدَمَهَا كُلُّ جُيُوشِ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَ رَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ. | ١٠ |
11 Now the rest of the people [that were] left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
| 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] vinedressers and husbandmen.
| وَلَكِنَّ رَئِيسَ ٱلشُّرَطِ أَبْقَى مِنْ مَسَاكِينِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَرَّامِينَ وَفَلَّاحِينَ. | ١٢ |
13 And the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that [was] in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them 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 pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
| وَٱلْقُدُورَ وَٱلرُّفُوشَ وَٱلْمَقَاصَّ وَٱلصُّحُونَ وَجَمِيعَ آنِيَةِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَا، أَخَذُوهَا. | ١٤ |
15 And the firepans, and the bowls, [and] such things as [were] of gold, [in] gold, and of silver, [in] silver, the captain of the guard took away.
| وَٱلْمَجَامِرَ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحَ. مَا كَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَٱلذَّهَبُ، وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَٱلْفِضَّةُ، أَخَذَهَا رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ. | ١٥ |
16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
| وَٱلْعَمُودَانِ وَٱلْبَحْرُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ وَٱلْقَوَاعِدُ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لَمْ يَكُنْ وَزْنٌ لِنُحَاسِ كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَدَوَاتِ. | ١٦ |
17 The height of the one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it [was] brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
| 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 Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
| وَأَخَذَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ سَرَايَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلرَّئِيسَ، وَصَفَنْيَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلثَّانِي، وَحَارِسِي ٱلْبَابِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ. | ١٨ |
19 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore 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 Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
| وَأَخَذَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ وَسَارَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى رَبْلَةَ. | ٢٠ |
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
| فَضَرَبَهُمْ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ. فَسُبِيَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 And [as for] the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
| وَأَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي بَقِيَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلَّذِينَ أَبْقَاهُمْ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، فَوَكَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ جَدَلْيَا بْنَ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ. | ٢٢ |
23 And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, 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 Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: 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 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
| 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, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
| 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 seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
| 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 spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne 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 did eat 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 allowance [was] a continual allowance given him 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 |
