2 Chronicles 33

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

١ كَانَ مَنَسَّى فِي الثَّانِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ تَوَلَّى مَقَالِيدَ الْحُكْمِ، وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ خَمْساً وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً.

2 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, after the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel.

٢ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، مُقْتَرِفاً رَجَاسَاتِ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baals, and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them.

٣ وَعَادَ وَشَيَّدَ مَعَابِدَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّتِي هَدَمَهَا أَبُوهُ حَزَقِيَّا، وَأَقَامَ مَذَابِحَ لِلْبَعْلِ وَنَصَبَ تَمَاثِيلَ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَسَجَدَ لِكَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ وَعَبَدَهَا.

4 He built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah said, "My name shall be in Jerusalem forever."

٤ وَبَنَى مَذَابِحَ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي قَالَ عَنْهُ الرَّبُّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَجْعَلُ اسْمِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

5 He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.

٥ وَشَيَّدَ فِي فِنَاءَيْ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ مَذَابِحَ لِكُلِّ كَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ.

6 He also made his children to pass through the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom; and he practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and consulted mediums, and spiritists: he worked much evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

٦ وَأَجَازَ أَوْلادَهُ فِي النَّارِ فِي وَادِي ابْنِ هِنُّومَ، وَلَجَأَ إِلَى السَّحَرَةِ وَالْعَرَّافَاتِ وَأَصْحَابِ الجَانِ وَأَوْغَلَ فِي ارْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ مِمَّا أَثَارَ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ الشَّدِيدَ عَلَيْهِ.

7 He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God's house, of which God 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 put my name forever:

٧ وَعَمِلَ تِمْثَالاً نَصَبَهُ فِي هَيْكَلِ اللهِ، الَّذِي قَالَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لِدَاوُدَ وَلِسُلَيْمَانَ ابْنِهِ: «فِي هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا مِنْ بَيْنِ جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَجْعَلُ اسْمِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

8 neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances given by Moses."

٨ وَإِنْ أَطَاعُوا وَعَمِلُوا كُلَّ مَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ، وَطَبَّقُوا كُلَّ الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالْفَرَائِضِ وَالأَحْكَامِ الَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِها عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى، فَإِنَّنِي لَنْ أُزَعْزِعَ أَقْدَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي عَيَّنْتُهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ».

9 Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom Jehovah destroyed before the children of Israel did.

٩ غَيْرَ أَنَّ مَنَسَّى أَضَلَّ شَعْبَ يَهُوذَا وَأَهْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَغْوَاهُمْ لاِرْتِكَابِ شُرُورٍ أَشَّدَّ هَوْلاً مِنْ شُرُورِ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

10 Jehovah spoke to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed.

١٠ وَمَعَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ حَذَّرَ مَنَسَّى وَشَعْبَهُ فَلَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيْهِ.

11 Therefore Jehovah brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

١١ لِهَذَا أَرْسَلَ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ قَادَةَ جُنْدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَقَبَضُوا عَلَى مَنَسَّى وَوَضَعُوا خِزَامَةً فِي أَنْفِهِ، وَقَادُوهُ مَغْلُولاً بِسَلاسِلِ نُحَاسٍ إِلَى بَابِلَ.

12 When he was in distress, he begged Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

١٢ وَفِي ضِيقِهِ اسْتَغَاثَ بالرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ وَتَذَلَّلَ جِدّاً أَمَامَ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِ،

13 He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his petition, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah was God.

١٣ وَابْتَهَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُ، وَسَمِعَ تَضَرُّعَهُ وَرَدَّهُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَإِلَى مَمْلَكَتِهِ. فَعَلِمَ مَنَسَّى أَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ اللهُ.

14 Now after this he built an outer wall to the City of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the Fish Gate; and he encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.

١٤ وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ أَعَادَ بِنَاءَ سُورٍ خَارِجَ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، غَرْبِيَّ نَهْرِ جِيحُونَ فِي الْوَادِي، حَتَّى مَدْخَلِ بَابِ السَّمَكِ، وَأَحَاطَ قَلْعَةَ الأَكَمَةِ بِسُورٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ جِدّاً، وَأَقَامَ قَادَةَ جُيُوشِهِ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا الْحَصِينَةِ.

15 He took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of Jehovah, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

١٥ وَأَزَالَ الآلِهَةَ الْغَرِيبَةَ وَالأَصْنَامَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَهَدَمَ الْمَذَابِحَ الَّتِي بَنَاهَا فِي تَلِّ الْهَيْكَلِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَطَرَحَهَا خَارِجَ الْمَدِينَةِ.

16 He built up the altar of Jehovah, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah, the God of Israel.

١٦ وَرَمَّمَ مَذْبَحَ الرَّبِّ وَقَرَّبَ عَلَيْهِ ذَبَائِحَ سَلامٍ وَشُكْرٍ، وَأَمَرَ شَعْبَهُ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

17 Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only to Jehovah their God.

١٧ إِلا أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ ظَلَّ يُقَدِّمُ الذَّبَائِحَ عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ قَدَّمُوهَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, look, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.

١٨ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ مَنَسَّى وَصَلاتُهُ إِلَى إِلَهِهِ، وَتَحْذِيرَاتُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الَّتِي أَنْذَرُوهُ بِها بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ تَارِيخِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

19 His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the engraved images, before he humbled himself, look, they are written in the Record of the Seers.

١٩ كَمَا أَنَّ صَلاتَهُ وَاسْتِجَابَةَ الرَّبِّ لَهُ، وَسائِرَ خَطَايَاهُ وَخِيَانَتَهُ، وَالأَمَاكِنَ الَّتِي شَيَّدَ فِيهَا الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَنَصَبَ فِيهَا تَمَاثِيلَ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَالأَصْنَامَ الَّتِي أَقَامَهَا قَبْلَ تَذَلُّلِهِ فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي أَخْبَارِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ.

20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden of his own house. And Amon his son reigned in his place.

٢٠ ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَنَسَّى ودُفِنَ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آمُونُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.

21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

٢١ كَانَ آموُنُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ والْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ سَنَتَيْنِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ،

22 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.

٢٢ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ كَمَا عَمِلَ أَبُوهُ مَنَسَّى، وَقَرَّبَ آمُونُ ذَبَائِحَ لِجَمِيعِ التَّمَاثِيلِ الَّتِي عَمِلَهَا أَبُوهُ وَعَبَدَهَا،

23 He did not humble himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.

٢٣ إِلّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَذَلَّلْ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ كَمَا تَذَلَّلَ أَبُوهُ مَنَسَّى، بَلِ ازْدَادَ شَرّاً.

24 His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.

٢٤ وَتَآمَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِجَالُهُ وَاغْتَالُوهُ فِي قَصْرِهِ.

25 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

٢٥ غَيْرَ أَنَّ شَعْبَ الْبِلادِ قَتَلَ جَمِيعَ الْمُتَآمِرِينَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ آمُونَ، وَوَلَّوْا عَلَيْهِمِ ابْنَهُ يُوشِيَّا خَلَفاً لَهُ.
