2 Kings 23
1 The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ أَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ فَاسْتَدْعَى إِلَيْهِ كُلَّ شُيُوخِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١ |
2 The king went up to the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
| وَتَوَجَّهَ مَعَهُمْ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، يُرَافِقُهُ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَالْكَهَنَةُ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ وَجَمِيعُ أَبْنَاءِ الشَّعْبِ مِنْ صِغَارٍ وَكِبَارٍ، فَقَرَأَ فِي مَسَامِعِهِمْ كُلَّ كَلامِ سِفْرِ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّذِي تَمَّ الْعُثُورُ عَلَيْهِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢ |
3 The king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this scroll; and all the people stood to the covenant.
| وَوَقَفَ الْمَلِكُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَقَطَعَ عَهْداً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ أَنْ يَتَّبِعَ الرَّبَّ، حَافِظاً وَصَايَاهُ وَشَهَادَاتِهِ وَفَرَائِضَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ الْقَلْبِ وَالنَّفْسِ، لِتَطْبِيقِ كَلامِ هَذَا الْعَهْدِ الْمُدَوَّنِ فِي هَذَا السِّفْرِ. فَوَعَدَ الشَّعْبُ بِالْوَفَاءِ بِهَذَا الْعَهْدِ. | ٣ |
4 The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of the LORD's temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
| وَأَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ حِلْقِيَّا رَئِيسَ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَكَهَنَةَ الْفِرْقَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ، وَحُرَّاسَ الْبَابِ، أَنْ يَطْرَحُوا مِنْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ جَمِيعَ الآنِيَةِ الْمَصْنُوعَةِ لِلْبَعْلِ وَلِعَشْتَارُوثَ وَلِكُلِّ كَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ. وَأَحْرَقَهَا خَارِجَ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي حُقُولِ وَادِي قَدْرُونَ، وَحَمَلَ رَمَادَهَا إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ. | ٤ |
5 He put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
| وَأَبَادَ كَهَنَةَ الأَصْنَامِ الَّذِينَ أَقَامَهُمْ مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا لِيُوْقِدُوا عَلَى مَذَابِحِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَضَوَاحِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكَذَلِكَ قَضَى عَلَى الْكَهَنَةِ الَّذِينَ يُحْرِقُونَ لِلْبَعْلِ وَلِلشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ وَلِلأَبْرَاجِ الْفَلَكِيَّةِ وَلِسَائِرِ الْكَوَاكِبِ. | ٥ |
6 He brought out the Asherah from the house of the LORD, outside of Jerusalem, to the Kidron Valley, and burned it in the Kidron Valley, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
| وَأَخْرَجَ تِمْثَالَ عَشْتَارُوثَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى خَارِجِ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى وَادِي قَدْرُونَ، وَأَحْرَقَهُ وَسَحَقَهُ إِلَى أَنْ أَصْبَحَ غُبَاراً، وَذَرَّى الْغُبَارَ عَلَى قُبُورِ عَامَّةِ الشَّعْبِ. | ٦ |
7 He broke down the living quarters of the temple prostitutes, that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah.
| وَهَدَمَ بُيُوتَ ذَوِي الشُّذُوذِ الْجِنْسِيِّ الْقَائِمَةَ حَوَالَيْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، حَيْثُ كَانَتِ النِّسَاءُ يَنْسُجْنَ ثِيَاباً لِتِمْثَالِ عَشْتَارُوثَ. | ٧ |
8 He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
| وَاسْتَدْعَى يُوشِيَّا جَمِيعَ الْكَهَنَةِ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، وَدَنَّسَ كُلَّ أَمَاكِنِ الْعِبَادَةِ الْوَثَنِيَّةِ فِي التِّلالِ، حَيْثُ كَانَ الْكَهَنَةُ يُوقِدُونَ مِنْ جَبَعَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، وَهَدَمَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ قَائِمَةً عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ قَصْرِ يَشُوعَ مُحَافِظِ الْمَدِينَةِ، إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الأَيْسَرِ مِنْ بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ٨ |
9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
| وَلَمْ يَدَعْ كَهَنَةَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ يَسْتَخْدِمُونَ مَذْبَحَ الرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَإِنْ شَارَكُوا بَقِيَّةَ إِخْوَتِهِمِ الْكَهَنَةِ فِي أَكْلِ خُبْزِ الْفَطِيرِ، | ٩ |
10 He defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
| وَدَنَّسَ الْمَلِكُ أَيْضاً مَذْبَحَ تُوفَةَ فِي وَادِي بَنِي هِنُّومَ، لِكَيْ لَا يُجِيزَ أَحَدٌ ابْنَهُ أَوِ ابْنَتَهُ فِي النَّارِ للِصَّنَمِ مُولَكَ. | ١٠ |
11 He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer, who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
| وَأَبَادَ الْخَيْلَ الَّتِي كَرَّسَهَا مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا لإِلَهِ الشَّمْسِ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ بِجُوَارِ حُجْرَةِ نَثْنَمْلَكَ مُدِيرِ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ، وَأَحْرَقَ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ الْمُكَرَّسَةَ لِعِبَادَةِ الشَّمْسِ. | ١١ |
12 The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the Kidron Valley.
| وَهَدَمَ الْمَلِكُ الْمَذَابِحَ الَّتِي عَلَى سَطْحِ عُلِّيَّةِ آحَازَ الَّتِي أَقَامَهَا مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا، وَأَيْضاً الْمَذَابِحَ الَّتِي بَنَاهَا مَنَسَّى فِي سَاحَتَيِ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَسَحَقَ حِجَارَتَهَا هُنَاكَ ثُمَّ ذَرَّاهَا فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ | ١٢ |
13 The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.
| وَنَجَّسَ الْمَلِكُ جَمِيعَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الْمُوَاجِهَةِ لأُورُشَلِيمَ، الْقَائِمَةِ عَنْ يَمِينِ جَبَلِ الْهَلاكِ، الَّتِي بَنَاهَا سُلَيْمَانُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِعَشْتَارُوثَ إِلَهَةِ صِيدُونَ الرِّجْسَةِ، وَلِكَمُوشَ إِلَهِ مُوآبَ النَّجِسِ، وَلِمَلْكُومَ إِلَهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ الْمَقِيتِ. | ١٣ |
14 He broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.
| وَحَطَّمَ التَّمَاثِيلَ، وَقَطَّعَ أَعْمِدَةَ الأَصْنَامِ، وَمَلأَ مَكَانَهَا مِنْ عِظَامِ النَّاسِ. | ١٤ |
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
| وَكَذَلِكَ هَدَمَ الْمَذْبَحَ الَّذِي شَيَّدَهُ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَبَاطَ فِي مُرْتَفَعَةِ بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَاسْتَغْوَى بِذَلِكَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ فَأَخْطَأُوا. ثُمَّ أَحْرَقَ الْمَذْبَحَ وَسَحَقَ الْمُرْتَفَعَةَ، حَتَّى تَحَوَّلَتْ إِلَى غُبَارٍ، وَأَحْرَقَ عَمُودَ الصَّنَمِ. | ١٥ |
16 And as Josiah turned himself, he saw the tombs that were there in the mountain. And he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast. And he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God who proclaimed these things.
| وَتَلَفَّتَ الْمَلِكُ يُوشِيَّا حَوْلَهُ فَشَاهَدَ مَقَابِرَ مُنْتَشِرَةً عَلَى الْجَبَلِ، فَأَرْسَلَ وَجَمَعَ عِظَامَهَا وَأَحْرَقَهَا عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، وَنَجَّسَهُ تَتْمِيماً لِقَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ رَجُلُ اللهِ بِشَأْنِ مَذْبَحِ يَرُبْعَامَ. | ١٦ |
17 Then he said, "What monument is that which I see?" The men of the city told him, "It is the tomb of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel."
| وَسَأَلَ الْمَلِكُ: «مَا هَذَا النَّصَبُ الَّذِي أَرَاهُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ رِجَالُ الْمَدِينَةِ: «هُوَ قَبْرُ رَجُلِ اللهِ الَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا وَأَنْبَأَ بِكُلِّ مَا أَجْرَيْتَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ». | ١٧ |
18 He said, "Let him be. Let no man move his bones." So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
| فَقَالَ: «دَعُوهُ. لَا يُحَرِّكْ أَحَدٌ عِظَامَهُ». فَتَرَكُوا عِظَامَهُ وَعِظَامَ نَبِيِّ السَّامِرَةِ. | ١٨ |
19 All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
| وَأَزَالَ يُوشِيَّا جَمِيعَ مَعَابِدِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الْمُنْتَشِرَةِ فِي مُدُنِ السَّامِرَةِ، الَّتِي بَنَاهَا مُلُوكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لإِثَارَةِ سَخَطِ الرَّبِّ، وَأَجْرَى عَلَيْهَا مَا أَجْرَاهُ عَلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ. | ١٩ |
20 He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men's bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
| وَقَتَلَ جَمِيعَ كَهَنَةِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّتِي هُنَاكَ عَلَى الْمَذَابِحِ، وَأَحْرَقَ عِظَامَ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهَا. ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢٠ |
21 The king commanded all the people, saying, "Keep the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this scroll of the covenant."
| وَأَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ جَمِيعَ الشَّعْبِ قَائِلاً: «احْتَفِلُوا بِفِصْحِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ كَمَا هُوَ مُدَوَّنٌ فِي سِفْرِ الْعَهْدِ هَذَا». | ٢١ |
22 Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
| إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدِ احْتُفِلَ بِعِيدِ الْفِصْحِ هَذَا مُنْذُ أَيَّامِ الْقُضَاةِ الَّذِينَ حَكَمُوا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلا فِي كُلِّ حِقْبَةِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا. | ٢٢ |
23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this Passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
| وَلَكِنْ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ عَشْرَةَ لِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ يُوشِيَّا احْتُفِلَ بِهَذَا الْفِصْحِ لِلرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ | ٢٣ |
24 Moreover Josiah removed the mediums, and spiritists, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the scroll that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
| وَأَبَادَ يُوشِيَّا أَيْضاً السَّحَرَةَ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ وَأَصْنَامَ الآلِهَةِ الَّتِي يَتَعَبَّدُ لَهَا النَّاسُ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ، وَالأَوْثَانَ وَجَمِيعَ الرَّجَاسَاتِ الَّتِي اسْتَشْرَتْ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَذَلِكَ لِيُطَبِّقَ مَا وَرَدَ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ الْمُدَوَّنَةِ فِي السِّفْرِ الَّذِي عَثَرَ عَلَيْهِ حِلْقِيَّا رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ. | ٢٤ |
25 Like him was there no king before him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
| وَلَمْ يَقُمْ مَلِكٌ مِثْلَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلا مِنْ بَعْدُ، رَجَعَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ بِمُقْتَضَى شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى. | ٢٥ |
26 Notwithstanding, the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ عَنْ شِدَّةِ غَضَبِهِ، لأَنَّ غَضَبَهُ احْتَدَمَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا لِفَرْطِ مَا أَثَارَ مَنَسَّى مِنْ سَخَطِهِ. | ٢٦ |
27 The LORD said, "I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, 'My name shall be there.'"
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «سَأَسْتَأْصِلُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَمَامِي كَمَا اسْتَأْصَلْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَتَنَكَّرُ لأُورُشَلِيمَ، الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا، وَلِلْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي قُلْتُ يَكُونُ اسْمِي فِيهِ». | ٢٧ |
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
| أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ يُوشِيَّا وَكُلُّ مُنْجَزَاتِهِ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ | ٢٨ |
29 In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Perath: and king Josiah went against him; and Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
| وَفِي أَيَّامِ حُكْمِ يُوشِيَّا زَحَفَ فِرْعَوْنُ نَخُوُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ نَحْوَ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ لِمُسَاعَدَةِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ، فَهَبَّ يُوشِيَّا لِمُسَاعَدَةِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ عِنْدَ مَجِدُّو، فَقَتَلَهُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ، فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ. | ٢٩ |
30 His servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.
| فَحَمَلَهُ رِجَالُهُ فِي مَرْكَبَةٍ وَعَادُوا بِهِ مِنْ مَجِدُّو لأُورُشَلِيمَ، حَيْثُ دَفَنُوهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ. فَوَلَّى الشَّعْبُ يَهُوَأَحَازَ بْنَ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ خَلَفاً لأَبِيهِ. | ٣٠ |
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
| وَكَانَ يَهُوأَحَازُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَمُوطَلُ بِنْتُ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ لِبْنَةَ. | ٣١ |
32 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
| وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ مَا فَعَلَ آبَاؤُهُ. | ٣٢ |
33 Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
| وَاعْتَقَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ نَخُوَ يَهُوآحَازَ وَقَيَّدَهُ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ لِئَلّا يَمْلِكَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَفَرَضَ جِزْيَةً عَلَى الْبِلادِ: مِئَةَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِ مِئَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً)، وَوَزْنَةً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامَاتٍ). | ٣٣ |
34 Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.
| وَنَصَّبَ فِرْعَوْنُ نَخُوَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ بْنَ يُوشِيَّا خَلَفاً لِيُوشِيَّا أَبِيهِ، وَغَيَّرَ اسْمَهُ إِلَى يَهُويَاقِيمَ. ثُمَّ سَاقَ يَهُوآحَازَ أَسِيراً إِلَى مِصْرَ حَيْثُ مَاتَ. | ٣٤ |
35 Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of everyone according to his taxation, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
| وَأَدَّى يَهُويَاقِيمُ جِزْيَةَ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ لِفِرْعَوْنَ، إِلّا أَنَّهُ فَرَضَ ضَرَائِبَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبِلادِ لِيَتَمَكَّنَ مِنْ دَفْعِهَا، بِحَسَبِ مَا يَمْتَلِكُونَ. | ٣٥ |
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
| وَكَانَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ زَبِيدَةُ بِنْتُ فِدَايَةَ مِنْ رُومَةَ. | ٣٦ |
37 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
| وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ مَا فَعَلَ آبَاؤُهُ. | ٣٧ |
