2 Kings 16
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekach the son of Remalyahu, became Achaz, the son of Jotham the king of Judah, king.
| فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِفَقْحَ بْنِ رَمَلْيَا، مَلَكَ آحَازُ بْنُ يُوثَامَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا. | ١ |
2 Twenty years old was Achaz when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem; and he did not what is right in the eyes of the Lord his God, like David his father.
| كَانَ آحَازُ ٱبْنَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَلَمْ يَعْمَلِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، | ٢ |
3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even his son he caused to pass through the fire, after the abominable acts of the nations whom the Lord had driven out from before the children of Israel.
| بَلْ سَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ عَبَّرَ ٱبْنَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ حَسَبَ أَرْجَاسِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣ |
4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
| وَذَبَحَ وَأَوْقَدَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَعَلَى ٱلتِّلَالِ وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ. | ٤ |
5 Then came up Rezin the king of Syria and Pekach the son of Remalyahu the king of Israel to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Achaz, but were not able to make an attack.
| حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ رَصِينُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ وَفَقْحُ بْنُ رَمَلْيَا مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ، فَحَاصَرُوا آحَازَ وَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَغْلِبُوهُ. | ٥ |
6 At that time did Rezin the king of Syria bring Elath back to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath: and the Edomeans came to Elath and dwelt there, even until this day.
| فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ أَرْجَعَ رَصِينُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ أَيْلَةَ لِلْأَرَامِيِّينَ، وَطَرَدَ ٱلْيَهُودَ مِنْ أَيْلَةَ. وَجَاءَ ٱلْأَرَامِيُّونَ إِلَى أَيْلَةَ وَأَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٦ |
7 And Achaz then sent messengers to Tiglath-pilesser the king of Assyria, saying, Thy servant and thy son am I: come up, and help me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.
| وَأَرْسَلَ آحَازُ رُسُلًا إِلَى تَغْلَثَ فَلَاسِرَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَٱبْنُكَ. ٱصْعَدْ وَخَلِّصْنِي مِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ وَمِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْقَائِمَيْنِ عَلَيَّ». | ٧ |
8 And Achaz took the silver and the gold that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent [the same] to the king of Assyria as a bribe.
| فَأَخَذَ آحَازُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ وَٱلذَّهَبَ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ هَدِيَّةً. | ٨ |
9 And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and captured it, and led [the people of] it away captive to Kir, and Rezin did he put to death.
| فَسَمِعَ لَهُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ، وَصَعِدَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ وَأَخَذَهَا وَسَبَاهَا إِلَى قِيرَ، وَقَتَلَ رَصِينَ. | ٩ |
10 And King Achaz went to meet Tiglath-pilesser the king of Assyria to Damascus, and he saw the altar that was at Damascus: and king Achaz then sent to Uriyah the priest the form of the altar, and its pattern, after all its workmanship.
| وَسَارَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ لِلِقَاءِ تَغْلَثَ فَلَاسِرَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، إِلَى دِمَشْقَ. وَرَأَى ٱلْمَذْبَحَ ٱلَّذِي فِي دِمَشْقَ. وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ إِلَى أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنِ شِبْهَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَشَكْلَهُ حَسَبَ كُلِّ صِنَاعَتِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 And Uriyah the priest built the altar; in accordance with all that king Achaz had sent from Damascus, so did Uriyah the priest make it against the arrival of king Achaz from Damascus.
| فَبَنَى أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنُ مَذْبَحًا. حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ مِنْ دِمَشْقَ كَذَلِكَ عَمِلَ أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنُ، رَيْثَمَا جَاءَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ مِنْ دِمَشْقَ. | ١١ |
12 And when the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king approached to the altar and offered thereon.
| فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ مِنْ دِمَشْقَ رَأَى ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْمَذْبَحَ، فَتَقَدَّمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ إِلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَأَصْعَدَ عَلَيْهِ، | ١٢ |
13 And he burnt his burnt-offering and his meat-offering, and poured out his drink-offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings upon the altar.
| وَأَوْقَدَ مُحْرَقَتَهُ وَتَقْدِمَتَهُ وَسَكَبَ سَكِيبَهُ، وَرَشَّ دَمَ ذَبِيحَةِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ ٱلَّتِي لَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. | ١٣ |
14 And as respecteth the copper altar which was before the Lord, he moved it back from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and set it on the side of the altar to the north.
| وَمَذْبَحُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَدَّمَهُ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلْبَيْتِ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلشِّمَالِيِّ. | ١٤ |
15 And king Achaz commanded Uriyah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt-offering, and the evening meat-offering, and the king's burnt-offering, and his meat-offering, with the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their meat-offering, and their drink-offerings; and all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of the sacrifices shalt thou sprinkle on it; and the copper altar shall be for me to visit occasionally.
| وَأَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنَ قَائِلًا: «عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ أَوْقِدْ مُحْرَقَةَ ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَتَقْدِمَةَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَمُحْرَقَةَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَتَقْدِمَتَهُ، مَعَ مُحْرَقَةِ كُلِّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتَقْدِمَتِهِمْ وَسَكَائِبِهِمْ، وَرُشَّ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ دَمِ مُحْرَقَةٍ وَكُلَّ دَمِ ذَبِيحَةٍ. وَمَذْبَحُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ يَكُونُ لِي لِلسُّؤَالِ». | ١٥ |
16 And Uriyah the priest did in accordance with all that king Achaz had commanded.
| فَعَمِلَ أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنُ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ. | ١٦ |
17 And king Achaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the lavers from off them; and the sea he took down from off the copper oxen that were under it, and placed it upon a pavement of stones.
| وَقَطَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ أَتْرَاسَ ٱلْقَوَاعِدِ وَرَفَعَ عَنْهَا ٱلْمِرْحَضَةَ، وَأَنْزَلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ عَنْ ثِيرَانِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَهُ وَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى رَصِيفٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ. | ١٧ |
18 And the covered passage for the sabbath that they had built on the house, and the outer king's entrance, turned he from the house of the Lord, on account of the king of Assyria.
| وَرِوَاقَ ٱلسَّبْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَوْهُ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَمَدْخَلَ ٱلْمَلِكِ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، غَيَّرَهُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ. | ١٨ |
19 Now the rest of the acts of Achaz which he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ آحَازَ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ | ١٩ |
20 And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son became king in his stead.
| ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ آحَازُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ حَزَقِيَّا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٢٠ |
