< 2 Chronicles 22 >

1 The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place; for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
وَنَصَّبَ سُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَخَزْيَا أَصْغَرَ أَبْنَائِهِ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ خَلَفاً لَهُ، لأَنَّ الْغُزَاةَ الَّذِينَ انْضَمُّوا إِلَى الْعَرَبِ وَأَغَارُوا عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ قَتَلُوا سَائِرَ إِخْوَتِهِ، فَمَلَكَ أَخَزْيَا بْنُ يَهُورَامَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا.١
2 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athalih, the daughter of Omri.
وَكَانَ أَخَزْيَا فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ تَوَلَّى الْمُلْكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ سَنَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ عَثَلْيَا، وَهِيَ حَفِيدَةُ عُمْرِي.٢
3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.
وَقَدْ سَلَكَ أَيْضاً فِي طَرِيقِ بَيْتِ آخْابَ، لأَنَّ أُمَّهُ كَانَتْ تُشِيرُ عَلَيْهِ بِارْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ.٣
4 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
فَاقْتَرَفَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ بَيْتِ آخْابَ، إِذْ أَصْبَحُوا لَهُ مُشِيرِينَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ أَبِيهِ، مِمَّا أَفْضَى إِلَى هَلاكِهِ.٤
5 He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead: and the Arameans wounded Joram.
وَبِمُقْتَضَى مَشُورَتِهِمِ انْضَمَّ إِلَى يَهُورَامَ بْنِ آخْابَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِمُحَارَبَةِ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ فِي رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ، فَهَزَمَ الأَرَامِيُّونَ يُورَامَ.٥
6 He returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
فَرَجَعَ يُورَامُ إِلَى يَزْرَعِيلَ حَتَّى يَبْرَأَ مِنْ جِرَاحِهِ الَّتِي أَصَابَهُ بِها الأَرَامِيُّونَ فِي الرَّامَةِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ مَعْرَكَتِهِ مَعَ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ، فَجَاءَ أَخَزْيَا بْنُ يَهُورَامَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لِيَزُورَ يَهُورَامَ بْنَ آخْابَ الَّذِي كَانَ مَرِيضاً فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ.٦
7 Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram: for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ شَاءَ أَنْ تَكُونَ زِيَارَةُ أَخَزْيَا لِيُورَامَ سَبَباً فِي هَلاكِهِ، حِينَ خَرَجَ مَعَ يَهُورَامَ لِلِقَاءِ يَاهُو بْنِ نِمْشِي، الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ الرَّبُّ لِلْقَضَاءِ الْمُبْرَمِ عَلَى بَيْتِ أَخَآبَ.٧
8 It happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and killed them.
وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَاهُو يُبِيدُ بَيْتَ آخْابَ، صَادَفَ قَادَةَ يَهُوذَا وَأَبْنَاءَ إِخْوَةِ أَخَزْيَا، الَّذِينَ كَانُوا فِي خِدْمَةِ أَخَزْيَا، فَقَتَلَهُمْ.٨
9 He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu, and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, "He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
وَسَعَى وَرَاءَ أَخَزْيَا، فَقَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ رِجَالُ يَاهُو وَهُوَ مُخْتَبِئٌ فِي السَّامِرَةِ، فَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى يَاهُو، وَقَتَلُوهُ وَدَفَنُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ الَّذِي طَلَبَ الرَّبَّ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِهِ». فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مَنْ يَتَوَلَّى الْعَرْشَ فِي بَيْتِ أَخَزْيَا.٩
10 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family of the house of Judah.
وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ عَثَلْيَا أُمُّ أَخَزْيَا أَنَّ ابْنَهَا قَدْ مَاتَ قَبَضَتْ عَلَى جَمِيعِ النَّسْلِ الْمَلَكِيِّ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا وَأَبَادَتْهُمْ.١٠
11 But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and secretly took him away from among the king's sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehosheba, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not kill him.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ يَهُوشَبْعَةَ ابْنَةَ الْمَلِكِ يَهُورَامَ اخْتَطَفَتْ يُوآشَ بْنَ أَخَزْيَا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِينَ شَرَعَتْ عَثَلْيَا فِي قَتْلِهِمْ، وَأَخْفَتْهُ هُوَ وَمُرْضِعَتَهُ فِي مُخْدَعِ النَّوْمِ، لأَنَّ يَهُوشَبْعَةَ كَانَتْ أُخْتَ أَخَزْيَا، وَابْنَةَ الْمَلِكِ يَهُورَامَ، وَزَوْجَةَ يَهُويَادَاعَ الْكَاهِنِ. وَهَكَذَا خَبَّأَتْ يَهُوشَبْعَةُ يُوآشَ مِنْ عَثَلْيَا، فَلَمْ تَقْتُلْهُ.١١
12 He was with them hidden in God's house six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
وَمَكَثَ مَعَهُمْ مُخْتَبِئاً فِي هَيْكَلِ اللهِ سِتَّ سَنَوَاتٍ، كَانَتْ عَثَلْيَا فِي أَثْنَائِهَا تَمْلِكُ عَلَى عَرْشِ يَهُوذَا.١٢
