2 Chronicles 21

1 Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

١ وَٱضْطَجَعَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ يَهُورَامُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

2 And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, Shephatiah: all these [were] the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.

٢ وَكَانَ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ، بَنُو يَهُوشَافَاطَ: عَزَرْيَا وَيَحِيئِيلُ وَزَكَرِيَّا وَعَزَرْيَاهُو وَمِيخَائِيلُ وَشَفَطْيَا. كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو يَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

3 And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram; because he [was] the first-born.

٣ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ أَبُوهُمْ عَطَايَا كَثِيرَةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَتُحَفٍ مَعَ مُدُنٍ حَصِينَةٍ فِي يَهُوذَا. وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَمْلَكَةُ فَأَعْطَاهَا لِيَهُورَامَ لِأَنَّهُ ٱلْبِكْرُ.

4 Now when Jehoram had risen to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and [divers] also of the princes of Israel.

٤ فَقَامَ يَهُورَامُ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةِ أَبِيهِ وَتَشَدَّدَ وَقَتَلَ جَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِهِ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَيْضًا بَعْضًا مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

5 Jehoram [was] thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

٥ كَانَ يَهُورَامُ ٱبْنَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ ثَمَانِيَ سِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab for a wife: and he wrought [that which was] evil in the eyes of the LORD.

٦ وَسَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا فَعَلَ بَيْتُ أَخْآبَ، لِأَنَّ بِنْتَ أَخْآبَ كَانَتْ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً. وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

7 Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.

٧ وَلَمْ يَشَإِ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يُبِيدَ بَيْتَ دَاوُدَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ دَاوُدَ، وَلِأَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ يُعْطِيهِ وَبَنِيهِ سِرَاجًا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

8 In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.

٨ فِي أَيَّامِهِ عَصَى أَدُومُ مِنْ تَحْتِ يَدِ يَهُوذَا وَمَلَّكُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ مَلِكًا.

9 Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites who encompassed him, and the captains of the chariots.

٩ وَعَبَرَ يَهُورَامُ مَعَ رُؤَسَائِهِ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ مَعَهُ، وَقَامَ لَيْلًا وَضَرَبَ أَدُومَ ٱلْمُحِيطَ بِهِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ.

10 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. The same time [also] did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.

١٠ فَعَصَى أَدُومُ مِنْ تَحْتِ يَدِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. حِينَئِذٍ عَصَتْ لِبْنَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ مِنْ تَحْتِ يَدِهِ لِأَنَّهُ تَرَكَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِ.

11 Moreover, he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah to [do the same].

١١ وَهُوَ أَيْضًا عَمِلَ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ فِي جِبَالِ يَهُوذَا، وَجَعَلَ سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ يَزْنُونَ، وَطَوَّحَ يَهُوذَا.

12 And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

١٢ وَأَتَتْ إِلَيْهِ كِتَابَةٌ مِنْ إِيلِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيِّ تَقُولُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ دَاوُدَ أَبِيكَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَسْلُكْ فِي طُرُقِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ أَبِيكَ وَطُرُقِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا،

13 But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit idolatry, like the idolatries of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, [who were] better than thyself:

١٣ بَلْ سَلَكْتَ فِي طُرُقِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَجَعَلْتَ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ يَزْنُونَ كَزِنَا بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ، وَقَتَلْتَ أَيْضًا إِخْوَتَكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْكَ،

14 Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:

١٤ هُوَذَا يَضْرِبُ ٱلرَّبُّ شَعْبَكَ وَبَنِيكَ وَنِسَاءَكَ وَكُلَّ مَالِكَ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً.

15 And thou [shalt have] great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.

١٥ وَإِيَّاكَ بِأَمْرَاضٍ كَثِيرَةٍ بِدَاءِ أَمْعَائِكَ حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ أَمْعَاؤُكَ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْمَرَضِ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا».

16 Moreover, the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that [were] near the Cushites.

١٦ وَأَهَاجَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى يَهُورَامَ رُوحَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَٱلْعَرَبَ ٱلَّذِينَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْكُوشِيِّينَ،

17 And they came up into Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was not a son left to him, save Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.

١٧ فَصَعِدُوا إِلَى يَهُوذَا وَٱفْتَتَحُوهَا، وَسَبَوْا كُلَّ ٱلْأَمْوَالِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ مَعَ بَنِيهِ وَنِسَائِهِ أَيْضًا، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُ ٱبْنٌ إِلَّا يَهُوآحَازُ أَصْغَرُ بَنِيهِ.

18 And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

١٨ وَبَعْدَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ ضَرَبَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي أَمْعَائِهِ بِمَرَضٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ شِفَاءٌ.

19 And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of severe diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.

١٩ وَكَانَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ إِلَى يَوْمٍ وَحَسَبَ ذِهَابِ ٱلْمُدَّةِ عِنْدَ نَهَايَةِ سَنَتَيْنِ، أَنَّ أَمْعَاءَهُ خَرَجَتْ بِسَبَبِ مَرَضِهِ، فَمَاتَ بِأَمْرَاضٍ رَدِيَّةٍ، وَلَمْ يَعْمَلْ لَهُ شَعْبُهُ حَرِيقَةً كَحَرِيقَةِ آبَائِهِ.

20 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem, eight years, and departed without being desired: yet they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchers of the kings.

٢٠ كَانَ ٱبْنَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ ثَمَانِيَ سِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَذَهَبَ غَيْرَ مَأْسُوفٍ عَلَيْهِ، وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ فِي قُبُورِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ.
