< 2 Kings 16 >

1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.
وَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ فَقْحَ بْنِ رَمَلْيَا، اعْتَلَى آحَازُ بْنُ يُوثَامَ عَرْشَ يَهُوذَا١
2 Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not do that which was right in the eyes of the LORD his God, like David his father.
وَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ عِشْرُونَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ. وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ، عَلَى نَقِيضِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ،٢
3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.
مُتَمَثِّلاً بِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ أَجَازَ ابْنَهُ فِي النَّارِ، وَفْقاً لأَرْجَاسِ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.٣
4 He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
وَذَبَحَ وَأَوْقَدَ لِلأَوْثَانِ عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَعَلَى التِّلالِ وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ.٤
5 Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَقَدَّمَ رَصِينُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ وَفَقْحُ بْنُ رَمَلْيَا مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَحْوَ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِمُهَاجَمَتِهَا، فَحَاصَرَا آحَازَ. غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمَا أَخْفَقَا فِي الاسْتِيلاءِ عَلَيْهَا.٥
6 At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered Eilat to Aram, and drove the Jews from Eilat; and the Arameans came to Eilat, and lived there, to this day.
وَتَمَكَّنَ رَصِينُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ مِنَ اسْتِرْجَاعِ مَدِينَةِ أَيْلَةَ، فَطَرَدَ مِنْهَا اليَهُودَ وَأَحَلَّ مَكَانَهُمُ الأَرَامِيِّينَ فَاسْتَوْطَنُوهَا إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.٦
7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, "I am your servant and your son. Come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me."
وَبَعَثَ آحَازُ وَفْداً إِلَى تَغْلَثْ فَلاسِرَ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُكَ، فَتَعَالَ وَأَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ حِصَارِ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ وَمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ اللَّذَيْنِ يُهَاجِمَانِنِي».٧
8 Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.
وَجَمَعَ آحَازُ الْفِضَّةَ وَالذَّهَبَ الْمَوْجُودَةَ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَفِي خَزَائِنِ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ، وَأَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى مَلِكِ أَشُورَ هَدِيَّةً.٨
9 The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin.
فَلَبَّى مَلِكُ أَشُورَ طَلَبَهُ، وَزَحَفَ بِجَيْشِهِ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا، وَسَبَى أَهْلَهَا إِلَى قِيرَ، وَقَتَلَ رَصِينَ.٩
10 King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the cohen the fashion of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its workmanship.
وَتَوَجَّهَ الْمَلِكُ آحَازُ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ لِلِقَاءِ تَغْلَثْ فَلاسِرَ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ، فَشَاهَدَ هُنَاكَ الْمَذْبَحَ، فَنَقَلَ رَسْمَهُ وَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى أُورِيَّا الْكَاهِنِ بِكَامِلِ تَفَاصِيلِ صِنَاعَتِهِ.١٠
11 Urijah the cohen built an altar: according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the cohen made it for the coming of king Ahaz from Damascus.
فَبَنَى أُورِيَّا الْكَاهِنُ مَذْبَحاً بِمُوْجِبِ الرَّسْمِ الَّذِي بَعَثَهُ الْمَلِكُ آحَازُ مِنْ دِمَشْقَ، وَانْتَظَرَ رُجُوعَ الْمَلِكِ مِنْ سَفْرَتِهِ.١١
12 When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near to the altar, and offered on it.
وَعِنْدَمَا عَادَ الْمَلِكُ مِنْ دِمَشْقَ، وَشَاهَدَ الْمَذْبَحَ١٢
13 He burnt his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, on the altar.
أَوْقَدَ عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَتَهُ وَتَقْدِمَتَهُ، وَسَكَبَ عَلَيْهِ سَكِيبَهُ مِنَ الْخَمْرِ، ثُمَّ رَشَّ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ دَمَ ذَبِيحَةِ السَّلامِ.١٣
14 The bronze altar, which was before the LORD, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of his altar.
أَمَّا مَذْبَحُ النُّحَاسِ الْقَائِمُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، بَيْنَ مَدْخَلِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ الْجَدِيدِ، فَقَدْ أَزَاحَهُ إِلَى جَانِبِ الْمَذْبَحِ الشِّمَالِيِّ.١٤
15 King Ahaz commanded Urijah the cohen, saying, "On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal offering, and the king's burnt offering, and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by."
وَأَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ آحَازُ أُورِيَّا الْكَاهِنَ أَنْ يُوْقِدَ مُحْرَقَةَ الصَّبَاحِ وَتَقْدِمَةَ الْمَسَاءِ وَمُحْرَقَةَ الْمَلِكِ وَتَقْدِمَتَهُ مَعَ مُحْرَقَةِ الشَّعْبِ وَتَقْدِمَتِهِمْ وَسَكَائِبِ خَمْرِهِمْ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَيَرُشَّ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ دَمِ مُحْرَقَةٍ وَذَبِيحَةٍ. أَمَّا مَذْبَحُ النُّحَاسِ فَيَكُونُ مُخَصَّصاً لِلْمَلِكِ لِمَعْرِفَةِ الْغَيْبِ١٥
16 Urijah the cohen did so, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.
فَنَفَّذَ أُورِيَّا الْكَاهِنُ أَوَامِرَ الْمَلِكِ آحَازَ.١٦
17 King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone.
ثُمَّ نَزَعَ الْمَلِكُ آحَازُ عَوَارِضَ الْقَوَاعِدِ الدَّائِرِيَّةِ وَرَفَعَ عَنْهَا الْمِرْحَضَةَ وَأَنْزَلَ الْبِرْكَةَ عَنِ الثِّيرَانِ النُّحَاسِيَّةِ وَأَقَامَهَا عَلَى صَفٍّ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ.١٧
18 The covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry outside, turned he to the house of the LORD, because of the king of Assyria.
وَإِرْضَاءً لِمَلِكِ أَشُورَ أَزَالَ آحَازُ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ مِنْبَرَ الْعَرْشِ الْمَلَكِيِّ، وَأَغْلَقَ الْمَدْخَلَ الْخَاصَّ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ بُنِيَ مِنَ الْخَارِجِ لِيَصِلَ مَا بَيْنَ الْقَصْرِ وَالْهَيْكَلِ.١٨
19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ آحَازَ وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟١٩
20 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ آحَازُ فَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ حَزَقِيَّا عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.٢٠
