2 Chronicles 36

1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and they anointed him and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem.

١ وَوَلَّى شَعْبُ الأَرْضِ يَهُوآحَازَ بْنَ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ خَلَفاً لأَبِيهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ،

2 Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

٢ وَكَانَ يَهُوأَحَازُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

3 The king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

٣ ثُمَّ عَزَلَهُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ وَفَرَضَ جِزْيَةً عَلَى الْبِلادِ: مِئَةَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) وَوَزْنَةً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ (نَحْوَ سِتَّةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً).

4 The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

٤ وَنَصَّبَ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ أَخَاهُ مَلِكاً عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، وَغَيَّرَ اسْمَهُ إِلَى يَهُويَاقِيمَ. أَمَّا يُوأَحَازُ أَخُوهُ فَاعْتَقَلَهُ وَسَاقَهُ أَسِيراً إِلَى مِصْرَ.

5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah his God.

٥ وَكَانَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ.

6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

٦ ثُمَّ هَاجَمَهُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَأَخَذَهُ أَسِيراً مُقَيَّداً إِلَى بَابِلَ.

7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

٧ وَاسْتَوْلَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ عَلَى بَعْضِ آنِيَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَأَخَذَهَا مَعَهُ إِلَى بَابِلَ، حَيْثُ وَضَعَهَا فِي هَيْكَلِهِ هُنَاكَ.

8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

٨ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ وَشُرُورُهُ الَّتِي اقْتَرَفَهَا فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ تَارِيخِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا. ثُمَّ خَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ يَهُويَاكِينُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.

9 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.

٩ وَكَانَ يَهُويَاكِينُ فِي الثَّامِنَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ.

10 At the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of Jehovah, and made Zedekiah his relative king over Judah and Jerusalem.

١٠ وَفِي مَطْلَعِ السَّنَةِ الْجَدِيدَةِ، أَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ فَقَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ وَنَقَلَهُ إِلَى بَابِلَ مَعَ آنِيَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الثَّمِينَةِ، وَوَلَّى أَخَاهُ صِدْقِيَّا خَلَفاً لَهُ عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ.

11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:

١١ وَكَانَ صِدْقِيَّا فِي الْحَادِيَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

12 and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah his God; he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of Jehovah.

١٢ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ، وَلَمْ يَتَوَاضَعْ أَمَامَ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِكَلامِ الرَّبِّ.

13 He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Jehovah, the God of Israel.

١٣ وَثَارَ أَيْضاً عَلَى الْمَلِكِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ، الَّذِي جَعَلَهُ يَحْلِفُ لَهُ يَمِينَ الْوَلاءِ، وَأَصَرَّ عَلَى عِنَادِهِ، وَأَغْلَظَ قَلْبَهُ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

14 Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of Jehovah which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

١٤ وَأَغْوَى مَعَهُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالشَّعْبِ الَّذِينَ ازْدَادُوا تَوَرُّطاً فِي خِيَانَةِ الرَّبِّ، مُرْتَكِبِينَ كُلَّ رَجَاسَاتِ الأُمَمِ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ نَجَّسُوا بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي قَدَّسَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

15 Jehovah, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

١٥ وَأَرْسَلَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِهِمْ إِلَيْهِمْ رُسُلاً بِصُورَةٍ مُتَوَالِيَةٍ مُحَذِّراً إِيَّاهُمْ لأَنَّهُ أَشْفَقَ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ وَعَلَى مَسْكَنِهِ.

16 but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Jehovah arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

١٦ فَكَانُوا يَهْزَأُونَ بِرُسُلِ اللهِ، وَرَفَضُوا كَلامَهُ، وَاسْتَهَانُوا بِأَنْبِيَائِهِ، حَتَّى ثَارَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ وَامْتَنَعَ كُلُّ شِفَاءٍ!

17 Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or gray-headed: he gave them all into his hand.

١٧ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ مَلِكَ الْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ، فَقَتَلَ نُخْبَتَهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ الْمُقَدَّسِ. وَلَمْ يَرْحَمِ الرَّبُّ فَتىً أَوْ عَذْرَاءَ أَوْ شَيْخاً أَوْ أَشْيَبَ، بَلْ أَسْلَمَهُمْ جَمِيعاً لِيَدِ الْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ،

18 All the vessels of God's house, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king, and of his officials, all these he brought to Babylon.

١٨ الَّذِينَ اسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى آنِيَةِ بَيْتِ اللهِ، كَبِيرِهَا وَصَغِيرِهَا، وَخَزَائِنِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَقَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ، وَخَزَائِنِ قَادَتِهِ، وَنَقَلُوهَا كُلَّهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ.

19 They burnt God's house, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels of it.

١٩ وَأَحْرَقُوا الْهَيْكَلَ وَهَدَمُوا سُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَشْعَلُوا النَّارَ فِي جَمِيعِ قُصُورِهَا، وَدَمَّرُوا تُحَفَهَا الثَّمِينَةَ.

20 He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

٢٠ وَسَبَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ الَّذِينَ نَجَوْا مِنَ السَّيْفِ إِلَى بَابِلَ، فَأَصْبَحُوا عَبِيداً لَهُ وَلأَبْنَائِهِ إِلَى أَنْ قَامَتْ مَمْلَكَةُ فَارِسَ.

21 to fulfill the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.

٢١ وَذَلِكَ لِكَيْ يَتِمَّ كَلامُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِرْمِيَا، حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفِيَ الأَرْضُ سُبُوتَهَا، إِذْ أَنَّهَا بَقِيَتْ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِنْتَاجٍ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ خَرَابِهَا حَتَّى انْقِضَاءِ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً.

22 Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

٢٢ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِحُكْمِ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ، وَتَتْمِيماً لِكَلامِ الرَّبِّ بِفَمِ إِرْمِيَا، حَرَّكَ الرَّبُّ قَلْبَ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ، فَأَطْلَقَ نِدَاءً فِي كُلِّ أَنْحَاءِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

23 "Thus says Koresh king of Persia, 'Jehovah, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him, and let him go up.'"

٢٣ «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ كُورَشُ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ: الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ السَّمَاءِ وَهَبَنِي جَمِيعَ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ لَهُ هَيْكَلاً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ الَّتِي فِي يَهُوذَا. وَعَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ شَعْبِ الرَّبِّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ، وَلْيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ».
