2 Chronicles 12
1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.
| وَمَا إِنْ تَرَسَّخَتْ دَعَائِمُ مَمْلَكَةِ رَحُبْعَامَ وَقَوِيَتْ شَوْكَتُهُ حَتَّى نَبَذَ هُوَ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ شَرِيعَةَ الرَّبِّ. | ١ |
2 It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against the LORD,
| فَغَزَا شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ لِحُكْمِ رَحُبْعَامَ، عِقَاباً لَهُمْ لِخِيَانَتِهِمِ الرَّبَّ. | ٢ |
3 with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
| فَجَاءَ عَلَى رَأْسِ جَيْشٍ لَا يُحْصَى مِنْ لُوبِيِّينَ وَسُكِّيِّينَ وَكُوشِيِّينَ، وَمَعَهُ أَلْفٌ وَمِئَتَا مَرْكَبَةٍ وَسِتُّونَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ. | ٣ |
4 He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
| وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا الْحَصِينَةِ، وَحَاصَرَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٤ |
5 And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, 'You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'"
| فَجَاءَ شَمْعِيَا النَّبِيُّ إِلَى رَحُبْعَامَ وَرُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا الَّذِينَ تَجَمَّعُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ هَرَباً مِنْ وَجْهِ شِيشَقَ وَخَاطَبَهُمْ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: أَنْتُمْ تَخَلَّيْتُمْ عَنِّي، وَأَنَا أَيْضاً أَتَخَلَّى عَنْكُمْ وَأُسَلِّمُكُمْ لِيَدِ شِيشَقَ». | ٥ |
6 Then the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "The LORD is righteous."
| فَتَذَلَّلَ رُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالْمَلِكُ قَائِلِينَ: «صَالِحٌ هُوَ الرَّبُّ». | ٦ |
7 When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى الرَّبُّ أَنَّهُمُ اتَّضَعُوا، قَالَ لِشَمْعِيَا: «مِنْ حَيْثُ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ تَذَلَّلُوا فَلَنْ أُهْلِكَهُمْ بَلْ أُتِيحَ لَهُمْ فُرْصَةً لِبَعْضِ النَّجَاةِ وَلَنْ يَنْصَبَّ غَضَبِي عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ بِيَدِ شِيشَقَ، | ٧ |
8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."
| إِنَّمَا يَخْضَعُونَ لَهُ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ آنَئِذٍ الْفَارِقَ بَيْنَ خِدْمَتِي، وَخِدْمَةِ مُلُوكِ الدُّوَلِ الأُخْرَى». | ٨ |
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
| وَهَكَذَا هَاجَمَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَخَزَائِنِ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ، وَغَنِمَ أَتْرَاسَ الذَّهَبِ الَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ. | ٩ |
10 King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
| فَصَنَعَ الْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ عِوَضاً عَنْهَا أَتْرَاساً نُحَاسِيَّةً سَلَّمَهَا لِرُؤَسَاءِ حَرَسِ بَابِ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ. | ١٠ |
11 It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
| فَكَانَ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ الْمَلِكُ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يَحْمِلُهَا الْحُرَّاسُ أَمَامَهُ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُونَهَا إِلَى غُرْفَةِ الْحَرَسِ. | ١١ |
12 When he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.
| وَهَكَذَا، عِنْدَمَا تَذَلَّلَ رَحُبْعَامُ رَجَعَ عَنْهُ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ فَلَمْ يُبِدْهُ كُلِّيًّا، إِذْ ظَلَّتْ فِي يَهُوذَا أُمُورٌ صَالِحَةٌ. | ١٢ |
13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
| وَتَقَوَّى الْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَاسْتَمَرَّ حَاكِماً سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَارَهَا الرَّبُّ دُونَ سَائِرِ مُدُنِ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَضَعَ اسْمَهُ عَلَيْهَا. وَكَانَ رَحُبْعَامُ ابْنَ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ تَوَلَّى الْمُلْكَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ نَعْمَةُ الْعَمُّونِيَّةُ. | ١٣ |
14 He did that which was evil, because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.
| وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُهَيِّئْ قَلْبَهُ لِطَلَبِ الرَّبِّ. | ١٤ |
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
| أَمَّا أَخْبَارُ رَحُبْعَامَ مِنْ بِدَايَتِهَا إِلَى نِهَايَتِهَا أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي تَارِيخِ شَمْعِيَا النَّبِيِّ، وَتَارِيخِ عِدُّو النَّبِيِّ الْخَاصِّ بِسِجِلِّ الأَنْسَابِ؟ وَظَلَّتْ رَحَى الْحَرْبِ دَائِرَةً بَيْنَ رَحُبْعَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ طَوَالَ أَيَّامِ حَيَاةِ رَحُبْعَامَ. | ١٥ |
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his place.
| ثُمَّ مَاتَ رَحُبْعَامُ فَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ أَبِيَّا عَلَى الْمُلْكِ. | ١٦ |
