< Kings IV 21 >

1 Manasses [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Apsiba.
كَانَ مَنَسَّى فِي الثَّانِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا تَوَلَّى مَقَالِيدَ الْحُكْمِ، وَظَلَّ مَلِكاً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مُدَّةَ خَمْسٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَفْصِيبَةُ.١
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، مُقْتَرِفاً رَجَاسَاتِ الْأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،٢
3 And he built again the high places, which Ezekias his father [had] demolished; and set up an altar to Baal, and made groves as Achaab king of Israel [made them]; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
فَعَادَ وَشَيَّدَ مَعَابِدَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّتِي هَدَمَهَا أَبُوهُ حَزَقِيَّا، وَأَقَامَ مَذَابِحَ الْبَعْلِ، وَنَصَبَ تَمَاثِيلَ عَشْتَارُوثَ عَلَى غِرَارِ مَا صَنَعَ آخْابُ، وَسَجَدَ لِكَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ وَعَبَدَهَا.٣
4 And he built an altar in the house of the Lord, whereas he had said, In Jerusalem I will place my name.
وَبَنَى مَذَابِحَ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ الَّذِي قَالَ عَنْهُ الرَّبُّ: «فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَجَعْلُ اسْمِي».٤
5 And he built an altar to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
وَبَنَى فِي دَارَيْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ مَذَابِحَ لِكُلِّ كَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ.٥
6 And he caused his sons to pass through the fire, and used divination and auspices, and made groves, and multiplied wizards, so as to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
وَأَجَازَ ابْنَهُ فِي النَّارِ، وَرَصَدَ الأَوْقَاتَ وَلَجَأَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِ الْجَانِ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ وَأَوْغَلَ فِي ارْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ مِمَّا أَثَارَ عَلَيْهِ غَضَبَ اللهِ الرَّهِيبَ.٦
7 And he set up the graven image of the grove in the house of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I even place my name for ever.
وَنَصَبَ تِمْثَالَ عَشْتَارُوثَ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ، فِي الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي قَالَ الرَّبُّ عَنْهُ لِدَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ: «فِي هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ، وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا مِنَ الأَرْضِ، الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ، أَجْعَلُ اسْمِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ.٧
8 And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, [even of those] who shall keep all that I commanded, according to all the commandments which my servant Moses commanded them.
فَإِذَا أَطَاعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَمِلُوا كُلَّ مَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ، وَطَبَّقُوا الشَّرِيعَةَ الَّتِي أَوْصَاهُمْ بِها عَبْدِي مُوسَى، فَإِنَّنِي لَنْ أُزَعْزِعَ أَقْدَامَهُمْ مِنَ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ».٨
9 But they listened not; and Manasses led them astray to do evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond the nations whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
لَكِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْا، بَلْ أَضَلَّهُمْ مَنَسَّى فَارْتَكَبُوا مَا هُوَ أَقْبَحُ مِمَّا تَرْتَكِبُهُ الأُمَمُ الَّتِي طَرَدَهَا الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.٩
10 And the Lord spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبِيدِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ:١٠
11 Forasmuch as Manasses the king of Juda has wrought all these evil abominations, beyond all that the Amorite did, who lived before [him], and has led Juda also into sin by their idols,
«لأَنَّ مَنَسَّى مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا اقْتَرَفَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْمُوبِقَاتِ، وَارْتَكَبَ شُرُوراً أَشَدَّ فَظَاعَةً مِنْ شُرُورِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلَهُ، وَأَضَلَّ يَهُوذَا فَجَعَلَهُ يَأْثَمُ بِعِبَادَةِ أَصْنَامِهِ،١١
12 [it shall] not [be] so. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I bring calamities upon Jerusalem and Juda, so that both the ears of every one that hears shall tingle.
لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَا أَنَا أَجْلِبُ شَرّاً عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا، فَتَطِنُّ أُذُنَا كُلِّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ بِهِ.١٢
13 And I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measure of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achaab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a jar is wiped, and turned upside down in the wiping.
وَسأُوْقِعُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ الْعِقَابَ الَّذِي أَوْقَعْتُهُ بِالسَّامِرَةِ، وَبِأَخْآبَ وَنَسْلِهِ. وَأَمْسَحُ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنَ الْوُجُودِ كَمَا يُمْسَحُ الطَّبَقُ مِنْ بَقَايَا الطَّعَامِ، ثُمَّ يُقْلَبُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ لِيَجِفَّ.١٣
14 And I will reject the remnant of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; and they shall be for a plunder and for a spoil to all their enemies:
وَأَنْبِذُ بَقِيَّةَ شَعْبِي وَأُسَلِّمُهُمْ إِلَى أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِهِمْ، فَيُصْبِحُونَ غَنِيمَةً وَأَسْرَى لَهُمْ،١٤
15 forasmuch as they have done wickedly in my sight, and have provoked me from the day that I brought out their fathers out of Egypt, even until this day.
لأَنَّهُمِ ارْتَكَبُوا الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَأَثَارُوا سَخَطِي مُنْذُ خُرُوجِ آبَائِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.١٥
16 Moreover Manasses shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem [with it] from one end to the other, beside his sins with which he caused Juda to sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord.
وَزَادَ مَنَسَّى فَسَفَكَ دَمَ أَبْرِيَاءَ كَثِيرِينَ، حَتَّى مَلأَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ أَقْصَاهَا إِلَى أَقْصَاهَا، فَضْلاً عَنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ الَّتِي اسْتَغْوَى بِها يَهُوذَا، وَجَعَلَهُ يَرْتَكِبُ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ».١٦
17 And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ مَنَسَّى وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ وَمَا ارْتَكَبَ مِنْ خَطِيئَةٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟١٧
18 And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, [even] in the garden of Oza: and Amos his son reigned in his stead.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَنَسَّى وَدُفِنَ فِي حَدِيقَةِ قَصْرِهِ، فِي حَدِيقَةِ عُزَّا. وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آمُونُ.١٨
19 Twenty and two years old [was] Amos when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Mesollam, daughter of Arus of Jeteba.
وَكَانَ آمُونُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ سَنَتَيْنِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَشُلَّمَةُ بِنْتُ حَارُوصَ مِنْ يَطْبَةَ،١٩
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father did.
وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ مِثْلَ أَبِيهِ.٢٠
21 And he walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols which his father served, and worshipped them.
لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ طَرِيقِ أَبِيهِ، وَعَبَدَ الأَصْنَامَ الَّتِي عَبَدَهَا أَبُوهُ وَسَجَدَ لَهَا.٢١
22 And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
وَتَخَلَّى عَنِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِ، وَلَمْ يَتَّبِعْ طَرِيقَهُ.٢٢
23 And the servants of Amos conspired against him, and killed the king in his house.
وَتَآمَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِجَالُهُ وَاغْتَالُوهُ فِي قَصْرِهِ،٢٣
24 And the people of the land killed all that had conspired against king Amos; and the people of the land made Josias king in his room.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ هَاجَمَ قَتَلَةَ الْمَلِكِ آمُونَ وَقَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ، وَنَصَّبَ يُوشِيَّا ابْنَهُ خَلَفاً لَهُ.٢٤
25 And the rest of the acts of Amos, [even] all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ آمُونَ وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِي مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا.٢٥
26 And they buried him in his tomb in the garden of Oza: and Josias his son reigned in his stead.
وَدُفِنَ فِي قَبْرِهِ فِي حَدِيقَةِ عُزَّا وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ يُوشِيَّا عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.٢٦
