2 Kings 14

1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.

١ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ يُوآشَ بْنِ يُوأَحَازَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَوَلَّى أَمَصْيَا بْنُ يُوآشَ الْمُلْكَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا

2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

٢ وَكَانَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ تِسْعاً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَهُوعَدَّانُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

3 He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.

٣ وَصَنَعَ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، عَلَى غِرَارِ أَبِيهِ يُوآشَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ صَلاحَ جَدِّهِ الأَكْبَرِ دَاوُدَ.

4 However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

٤ إِذْ لَمْ يَهْدِمِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، بَلْ ظَلَّ الشَّعْبُ يَذْبَحُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَيُوْقِدُونَ.

5 It happened, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father:

٥ وَعِنْدَمَا اسْتَتَبَّ الْمُلْكُ فِي يَدِهِ قَتَلَ رِجَالَهُ الَّذِينَ اغْتَالُوا أَبَاهُ الْمَلِكَ.

6 but the children of the murderers he did not put to death; according to that which is written in the scroll of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin."

٦ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْتَصَّ مِنْ أَبْنَائِهِمْ عَمَلاً بِمَا هُوَ وَارِدٌ فِي كِتَابِ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، حَيْثُ أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً: «لا يُقْتَلُ الآبَاءُ بِذَنْبِ الْبَنِينَ وَلا يُقْتَلُ الْبَنُونَ بِذَنْبِ الآبَاءِ، إِنَّمَا يُقْتَلُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ بِمَا جَنَتْ يَدَاهُ».

7 He killed of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.

٧ وَهُوَ الَّذِي قَتَلَ عَشَرَةَ آلافٍ مِنَ الأَدُومِيِّينَ فِي وَادِي الْمِلْحِ، وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى سَالِعَ بِالْحَرْبِ، وَدَعَا اسْمَهَا يَقْتَئِيلَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us look one another in the face."

٨ وَبَعَثَ أَمَصْيَا رُسُلاً إِلَى يَهُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوأَحَازَ بْنِ يَاهُو مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «تَعَالَ نَتَوَاجَهْ لِلْقِتَالِ».

9 Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, "The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son as wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.

٩ فَأَجَابَهُ يَهُوآشُ: «أَرْسَلَ الْعَوْسَجُ النَّابِتُ فِي لُبْنَانَ إِلَى الأَرْزِ فِي لُبْنَانَ يَقُولُ: زَوِّجِ ابْنَتَكَ مِنِ ابْنِي. فَمَرَّ حَيَوَانٌ بَرِّيٌّ كَانَ هُنَاكَ، فَوَطِئَ الْعَوْسَجَ!

10 You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?'"

١٠ لَقَدْ هَزَمْتَ الأَدُومِيِّينَ فَانْتَابَكَ الْغُرُورُ، وَلَكِنْ خَيْرٌ لَكَ أَنْ تَمْكُثَ فِي قَصْرِكَ وَتَتَمَتَّعَ بِمَجْدِ انْتِصَارِكَ. فَلِمَاذَا تَسْعَى إِلَى الشَّرِّ فَتَجْلِبَ الدَّمَارَ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى يَهُوذَا؟»

11 But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

١١ فَلَمْ يُصْغِ أَمَصْيَا لَهُ، فَحَشَدَ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ جُيُوشَهُ وَتَوَاجَهَ مَعَ أَمَصْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ التَّابِعَةِ لِمَمْلَكَةِ يَهُوذَا.

12 Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.

١٢ فَانْهَزَمَ يَهُوذَا أَمَامَ جَيْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهَرَبُوا إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ،

13 Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, six hundred eighty-nine feet.

١٣ وَوَقَعَ أَمَصْيَا فِي أَسْرِ يَهُوآشَ فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ. وَتَوَجَّهَ بِجَيْشِهِ نَحْوَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَهَدَمَ سُورَهَا مِنْ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى بَابِ الزَّاوِيَةِ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ أَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ مِئَتَيْ مِتْرٍ)

14 He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

١٤ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى كُلِّ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ، وَجَمِيعِ الآنِيَةِ الْمَوْجُودَةِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَفِي قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ، وَأَخَذَ رَهَائِنَ ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى السَّامِرَةِ.

15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

١٥ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ يَهُوآشَ وَمَا قَامَ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ وَكَيْفَ حَارَبَ أَمَصْيَا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

16 Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.

١٦ ثُمَّ مَاتَ يَهُوآشُ وَدُفِنَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ مَعَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ يَرُبْعَامُ.

17 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

١٧ وَعَاشَ أَمَصْيَا بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ يَهُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوأَحَازَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

١٨ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ أَمَصْيَا أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

19 They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.

١٩ وَثَارَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِتْنَةٌ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَلَجَأَ إِلَى لَخِيشَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَرْسَلُوا مَنْ تَعَقَّبُوهُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَاغْتَالُوهُ،

20 They brought him on horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.

٢٠ ثُمَّ نَقَلُوهُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ حَيْثُ دُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ.

21 All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.

٢١ وَنَصَّبَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا ابْنَهُ عَزَرْيَا مَلِكاً، وَلَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، فَخَلَفَ أَبَاهُ أَمَصْيَا عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

22 He built Eilat, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.

٢٢ وَهُوَ الَّذِي اسْتَرَدَّ أَيْلَةَ لِيَهُوذَا وَرَمَّمَهَا عَقِبَ وَفَاةِ وَالِدِهِ الْمَلِكِ أَمَصْيَا.

23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.

٢٣ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ أَمَصْيَا بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، تَوَلَّى يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ يُوآشَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

24 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

٢٤ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَعْدِلْ عَنْ أَيٍّ مِنْ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّتِي اسْتَغْوَى بِها الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ فَأَخْطَأُوا.

25 He restored the border of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath Hepher.

٢٥ وَهُوَ الَّذِي اسْتَرْجَعَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ أَرَاضِيهَا الْمُمْتَدَّةَ مِنْ حَمَاةَ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ الْمَيِّتِ، تَحْقِيقاً لِكَلامِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبْدِهِ يُونَانَ بْنِ أَمَتَّايَ النَّبِيِّ مِنْ أَهْلِ جَتَّ حَافِرَ،

26 For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.

٢٦ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ رَأَى مَا يُعَانِيهِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مِنْ عَبِيدٍ وَأَحْرَارٍ مِنْ ضِيقٍ أَلِيمٍ مَرِيرٍ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ مِنْ مُعِينٍ.

27 The LORD did not say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

٢٧ وَإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ قَدْ قَضَى بِمَحْوِ اسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ تَحْتِ السَّمَاءِ، أَنْقَذَهُمْ عَلَى يَدِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ يُوآشَ.

28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٢٨ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَكُلُّ مُنْجَزَاتِهِ وَأَعْمَالِهِ وَكَيْفَ حَارَبَ وَاسْتَرْجَعَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ كُلًا مِنْ دِمَشْقَ وَحَمَاةَ الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا يَهُوذَا أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.

٢٩ ثُمَّ مَاتَ يَرُبْعَامُ وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ زَكَرِيَّا عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.
