2 Kings 14
1 After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
| در دومین سال سلطنت یهوآش، پادشاه اسرائیل، اَمَصیا (پسر یوآش) پادشاه یهودا شد. |
2 He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
| اَمَصیا بیست و پنج ساله بود که پادشاه شد و بیست و نه سال در اورشلیم سلطنت کرد. مادرش یهوعدان نام داشت و اهل اورشلیم بود. |
3 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do as many things that pleased Yahweh as King David had done. He did some of the good things that his father Joash had done.
| اَمَصیا مانند پدرش یوآش هر چه در نظر خداوند پسندیده بود انجام می‌داد، اما نه به اندازهٔ جدش داوود. |
4 But, [like his father, ] he did not tear down the places for worshipping Yahweh at pagan shrines. The people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] on those hills [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
| او بتخانه‌های روی تپه‌ها را از بین نبرد و از این رو قوم هنوز در آنجا قربانی می‌کردند و بخور می‌سوزانیدند. |
5 As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
| وقتی اَمَصیا سلطنت را در دست گرفت، افرادی را که پدرش را کشته بودند، از بین برد، |
6 But he did not execute their children. He obeyed what was written in the laws that God gave to Moses: “Parents must not be executed for [the crimes/sins committed by] their children, and children must not be executed for [crimes/sins committed by] their parents. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves [have committed].”
| ولی فرزندان ایشان را نکشت، زیرا خداوند در تورات موسی امر فرموده بود که پدران به سبب گناه پسران کشته نشوند و نه پسران برای گناه پدران؛ بلکه هر کس به سبب گناه خود مجازات شود. |
7 Amaziah’s soldiers killed 10,000 soldiers of the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [south of the Dead Sea], and they captured Sela [city] and gave it a new name, Joktheel. That is still its name.
| اَمَصیا یکبار ده هزار ادومی را در درهٔ نمک کشت. همچنین شهر سالع را تصرف کرد و اسم آن را به یُقتِئیل تغییر داد که تا به امروز به همان نام خوانده می‌شود. |
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
| یک روز اَمَصیا قاصدانی نزد یهوآش، پادشاه اسرائیل (پسر یهواخاز و نوهٔ ییهو) فرستاده، به او اعلام جنگ داد. |
9 But King Jehoash replied to King Amaziah: “Once a thornbush growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in order that he may marry her.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon passed by the thornbush and trampled it.
| اما یهوآش پادشاه با این مثل جواب اَمَصیا را داد: «روزی در لبنان یک بوتهٔ خار به درخت سرو آزاد گفت:”دخترت را به پسر من به زنی بده.“ولی درست در همین وقت حیوانی وحشی از آنجا عبور کرد و آن خار را پایمال نمود! |
10 [The meaning of what I am saying is that] your army has defeated the army of Edom, so now you have become very proud. But you should be content with defeating the people of Edom, and allow your soldiers to stay at home. If you cause trouble [by fighting against] us, you will surely [RHQ] cause a disaster to happen to you and to your people.”
| تو ادوم را نابود کرده‌ای و مغرور شده‌ای؛ ولی به این پیروزیت قانع باش و در خانه‌ات بمان! چرا می‌خواهی کاری کنی که به زیان تو و مردم یهودا تمام شود؟» |
11 But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. So he marched with his army to fight against the Israeli army at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
| ولی اَمَصیا توجهی ننمود، پس یهوآش، پادشاه اسرائیل، سپاه خود را آمادهٔ جنگ کرد. جنگ در بیت‌شمس، یکی از شهرهای یهودا، درگرفت. |
12 The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
| سپاه یهودا شکست خورد و سربازان به شهرهای خود فرار کردند. |
13 Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there, and they also marched to Jerusalem and tore down the wall that was around the city, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about (200 yards/180 meters) long.
| اَمَصیا پادشاه یهودا اسیر شد و سپاه اسرائیل بر اورشلیم تاخت و حصار آن را از دروازهٔ افرایم تا دروازهٔ زاویه که طولش در حدود دویست متر بود، در هم کوبید. |
14 Jehoash’s soldiers seized all the gold and silver that they found, and all the utensils that were in the temple, and all the valuable things that were in the palace, and took them to Samaria. They also took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.
| یهوآش عده‌ای را گروگان گرفت و تمام طلا و نقره و لوازم خانهٔ خداوند و کاخ سلطنتی را برداشت و به سامره بازگشت. |
15 [If you want to know about] all the other things that Jehoash did when he was king, including when he [and his army] fought against [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
| شرح بقیهٔ رویدادهای دوران سلطنت یهوآش، جنگهای او با اَمَصیا (پادشاه یهودا)، کارها و فتوحات او در کتاب «تاریخ پادشاهان اسرائیل» ثبت شده است. |
16 Jehoash died [EUP], and he was buried in Samaria, where the other kings of Israel had been buried. Then his son Jeroboam became the king.
| یهوآش مرد و در آرامگاه سلطنتی سامره دفن شد و پسرش یربعام دوم به جای او به سلطنت رسید. |
17 Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
| اَمَصیا بعد از مرگ یهوآش پانزده سال دیگر هم زندگی کرد. |
18 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Amaziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
| شرح بقیهٔ رویدادهای دوران سلطنت اَمَصیا در کتاب «تاریخ پادشاهان یهودا» نوشته شده است. |
19 Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
| در اورشلیم علیه او توطئه چیدند و او به لاکیش گریخت، ولی دشمنانش او را تعقیب کرده، در آنجا او را کشتند. |
20 They took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it where his ancestors had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’.
| سپس جنازه‌اش را روی اسب گذاشته، به اورشلیم برگرداندند و در آرامگاه سلطنتی شهر داوود دفن کردند. |
21 Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
| مردم یهودا همگی عزیا، پسر شانزده سالۀ امصیا، را به جای پدرش پادشاه ساختند. |
22 After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
| عزیا بعد از مرگ پدرش شهر ایلت را برای یهودا پس گرفت و آن را بازسازی نمود. |
23 When Amaziah had been ruling Judah for almost 15 years, Jeroboam became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 41 years.
| یربعام دوم (پسر یهوآش) در پانزدهمین سال سلطنت اَمَصیا، پادشاه یهودا، پادشاه اسرائیل شد و چهل و یک سال در سامره سلطنت نمود. |
24 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did not stop committing the same kind of sins that Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin also.
| او نیز مانند یربعام اول (پسر نباط) نسبت به خداوند گناه ورزید و اسرائیل را به گناه کشاند. |
25 His soldiers conquered again some of the territory that had previously belonged to Israel, from Hamath [city] in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. That is what Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis worshiped, promised the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, from Gath-Hepher [town], would happen.
| یربعام دوم زمینهای از دست رفتهٔ اسرائیل را که بین گذرگاه حمات در شمال و دریای مرده در جنوب واقع شده بود، پس گرفت؛ درست همان‌طور که خداوند، خدای اسرائیل توسط یونس نبی (پسر امتای) اهل جت حافر پیشگویی فرموده بود. |
26 That happened because Yahweh saw that [the Israelis’ enemies were causing] the Israelis [to] suffer very much. And there was absolutely no one [IDM] who would help them.
| خداوند مصیبت تلخ اسرائیل را دید؛ و کسی نبود که به داد ایشان برسد. |
27 But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
| ولی خواست خداوند این نبود که نام اسرائیل را از روی زمین محو کند، پس توسط یربعام دوم ایشان را نجات داد. |
28 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Jeroboam did, [about] his fighting courageously in battles, and [about] his [enabling the Israelis to] capture again Damascus and Hamath [cities], they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
| شرح بقیهٔ دوران سلطنت یربعام دوم، کارها و فتوحات و جنگهای او، و اینکه چطور دمشق و حمات را که در تصرف یهودا بودند باز به دست آورد، همه در کتاب «تاریخ پادشاهان اسرائیل» نوشته شده است. |
29 Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
| وقتی یربعام دوم مرد، جنازهٔ او را در کنار سایر پادشاهان اسرائیل به خاک سپردند و پسرش زکریا بر تخت سلطنت اسرائیل نشست. |
