2 Chronicles 23
1 In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zikri, into covenant with him.
| وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ تَشَدَّدَ يَهُويَادَاعُ وَأَخَذَ مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْعَهْدِ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ: عَزَرْيَا بْنَ يَرُوحَامَ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ يَهُوحَانَانَ، وَعَزَرْيَا بْنَ عُوبِيدَ، وَمَعَسِيَا بْنَ عَدَايَا، وَأَلِيشَافَاطَ بْنَ زِكْرِي، | ١ |
2 They went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of ancestral houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
| وَجَالُوا فِي يَهُوذَا وَجَمَعُوا ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَرُؤُوسَ آبَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢ |
3 All the assembly made a covenant in the house of God with the king. And he showed them the king's son. And he said to them, "Look, the king's son shall reign, as YHWH has spoken concerning the descendants of David.
| وَقَطَعَ كُلُّ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ عَهْدًا فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هُوَذَا ٱبْنُ ٱلْمَلِكِ يَمْلِكُ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ بَنِي دَاوُدَ. | ٣ |
4 This is the thing that you shall do. A third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
| هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي تَعْمَلُونَهُ. ٱلثُّلْثُ مِنْكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ يَكُونُونَ بَوَّابِينَ لِلْأَبْوَابِ، | ٤ |
5 A third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of YHWH's house.
| وَٱلثُّلْثُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَٱلثُّلْثُ فِي بَابِ ٱلْأَسَاسِ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي دِيَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٥ |
6 But let no one come into the house of YHWH, except the priests, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow YHWH's instructions.
| وَلَا يَدْخُلْ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَّا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَخْدِمُونَ مِنَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ، فَهُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ مُقَدَّسُونَ، وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٦ |
7 The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in, and when he goes out."
| وَيُحِيطُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ بِٱلْمَلِكِ مُسْتَدِيرِينَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سِلَاحُهُ بِيَدِهِ. وَٱلَّذِي يَدْخُلُ ٱلْبَيْتَ يُقْتَلُ. وَكُونُوا مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي دُخُولِهِ وَفِي خُرُوجِهِ». | ٧ |
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath; with those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss the shift.
| فَعَمِلَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ وَكُلُّ يَهُوذَا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ. وَأَخَذُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ رِجَالَهُ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، مَعَ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ فِي ٱلسَّبْتِ، لِأَنَّ يَهُويَادَاعَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ لَمْ يَصْرِفِ ٱلْفِرَقَ. | ٨ |
9 Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in God's house.
| وَأَعْطَى يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ ٱلْحِرَابَ وَٱلْمَجَانَّ وَٱلْأَتْرَاسَ ٱلَّتِي لِلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ. | ٩ |
10 He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
| وَأَوْقَفَ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سِلَاحُهُ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ جَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَيْسَرِ حَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَٱلْبَيْتِ، حَوْلَ ٱلْمَلِكِ مُسْتَدِيرِينَ. | ١٠ |
11 Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, "Long live the king."
| ثُمَّ أَخْرَجُوا ٱبْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَوَضَعُوا عَلَيْهِ ٱلتَّاجَ وَأَعْطَوْهُ ٱلشَّهَادَةَ، وَمَلَّكُوهُ. وَمَسَحَهُ يَهُويَادَاعُ وَبَنُوهُ وَقَالُوا: «لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ». | ١١ |
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of YHWH:
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ عَثَلْيَا صَوْتَ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَرْكُضُونَ وَيَمْدَحُونَ ٱلْمَلِكَ، دَخَلَتْ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٢ |
13 and she looked, and, look, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, "Treason. Treason."
| وَنَظَرَتْ وَإِذَا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ فِي ٱلْمَدْخَلِ، وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ وَٱلْأَبْوَاقُ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلُّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَفْرَحُونَ وَيَنْفُخُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ، وَٱلْمُغَنُّونَ بِآلَاتِ ٱلْغِنَاءِ، وَٱلْمُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلتَّسْبِيحَ. فَشَقَّتْ عَثَلْيَا ثِيَابَهَا وَقَالَتْ: «خِيَانَةٌ، خِيَانَةٌ!». | ١٣ |
14 Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword." For the priest said, "Do not kill her in YHWH's house."
| فَأَخْرَجَ يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ ٱلْمُوَكَّلِينَ عَلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَخْرِجُوهَا إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلصُّفُوفِ، وَٱلَّذِي يَتَّبِعُهَا يُقْتَلُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ». لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَاهِنَ قَالَ: «لَا تَقْتُلُوهَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٤ |
15 So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the Horse Gate to the king's house; and they killed her there.
| فَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ. وَلَمَّا أَتَتْ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ بَابِ ٱلْخَيْلِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ قَتَلُوهَا هُنَاكَ. | ١٥ |
16 Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be YHWH's people.
| فَقَطَعَ يَهُويَادَاعُ عَهْدًا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَنْ يَكُونُوا شَعْبًا لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٦ |
17 All the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
| وَدَخَلَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ وَهَدَمُوهُ وَكَسَّرُوا مَذَابِحَهُ وَتَمَاثِيلَهُ، وَقَتَلُوا مَتَّانَ كَاهِنَ ٱلْبَعْلِ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. | ١٧ |
18 Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of YHWH under the hand of the priests and the Levites, and he appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites, whom David had assigned in the house of YHWH, to offer the burnt offerings of YHWH, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.
| وَجَعَلَ يَهُويَادَاعُ مُنَاظِرِينَ عَلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَسَمَهُمْ دَاوُدُ عَلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَجْلِ إِصْعَادِ مُحْرَقَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، بِٱلْفَرَحِ وَٱلْغِنَاءِ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ دَاوُدَ. | ١٨ |
19 He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of YHWH, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
| وَأَوْقَفَ ٱلْبَوَّابِينَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِئَّلَا يَدْخُلَ نَجِسٌ فِي أَمْرٍ مَّا. | ١٩ |
20 He took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of YHWH: and they came through the Upper Gate to the king's house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
| وَأَخَذَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ وَٱلْعُظَمَاءَ وَٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ وَكُلَّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَنْزَلَ ٱلْمَلِكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَدَخَلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْأَعْلَى إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَجْلَسُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ. | ٢٠ |
21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword.
| فَفَرِحَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ، وَقَتَلُوا عَثَلْيَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٢١ |
