2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it on all sides.
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ لِمُلْكِ صِدْقِيَّا، فِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ، زَحَفَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ بِكَامِلِ جَيْشِهِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصَرَهَا، وَأَقَامَ حَوْلَهَا أَبْرَاجاً. | ١ |
2 And the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
| وَاسْتَمَرَّ حِصَارُ أُورُشَلِيمَ حَتَّى الْعَامِ الْحَادِي عَشَرَ مِنْ مُلْكِ صِدْقِيَّا | ٢ |
3 And on the ninth [day] of the [fourth] month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّاسِعِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الرَّابِعِ مِنْ تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ، تَفَاقَمَتِ الْمَجَاعَةُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، حَتَّى لَمْ يَجِدْ أَهْلُهَا خُبْزاً يَأْكُلُونَهُ. | ٣ |
4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which [is] by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees [were] against the city on all sides: ) and [the king] went the way towards the plain.
| وَفِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ فَتَحَ صِدْقِيَّا وَرِجَالُهُ ثُغْرَةً فِي سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَتَسَلَّلَ مَعَ رِجَالِهِ الْمُحَارِبِينَ مِنْ خِلالِ الْبَوَّابَةِ الْقَائِمَةِ بَيْنَ السُّورَيْنِ نَحْوَ حَدِيقَةِ الْمَلِكِ. وَكَانَ الْكِلْدَانِيُّونَ مُحِيطِينَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ. فَتَوَجَّهَ صِدْقِيَّا وَمُقَاتِلُوهُ إِلَى طَرِيقِ الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٤ |
5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
| فَتَعَقَّبَتْ جُيُوشُ الْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ الْمَلِكَ، وَأَدْرَكَتْهُ فِي صَحْرَاءِ أَرِيحَا، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَفَرَّقَتْ قُوَّاتُهُ عَنْهُ. | ٥ |
6 So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
| فَأَسَرُوا الْمَلِكَ وَاقْتَادُوهُ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ الْمُقِيمِ فِي رَبْلَةَ، وَحَرَّضُّوهُ عَلَى الْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ. | ٦ |
7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
| ثُمَّ قَتَلُوا أَبْنَاءَ صِدْقِيَّا عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْهُ، وَقَلَعُوا عَيْنَيْهِ، وَقَيَّدُوهُ بِسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَسَاقُوهُ إِلَى بَابِلَ. | ٧ |
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh [day] of the month, which [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem:
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، قَدِمَ نبُوزَرَادَانُ قَائِدُ الْحَرَسِ الْمَلَكِيِّ مِنْ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ٨ |
9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great [man's] house he burnt with fire.
| وَأَحْرَقَ الْهَيْكَلَ وَقَصْرَ الْمَلِكِ وَسَائِرَ بُيُوتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكُلَّ مَنَازِلِ الْعُظَمَاءِ. | ٩ |
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that [were with] the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem on all sides.
| وَهَدَمَتْ جُيُوشُ الْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ الَّتِي تَحْتَ إِمْرَةِ رَئِيسِ الْحَرَسِ الْمَلَكِيِّ جَمِيعَ أَسْوَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٠ |
11 Now the rest of the people [that were] left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
| وَسَبَى نَبُوزَرَادَانُ بَقِيَّةَ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي بَقِيَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَالْهَارِبِينَ الَّذِينَ لَجَأُوا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَسِوَاهُمْ مِنَ السُّكَّانِ. | ١١ |
12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land [to be] vine-dressers and husbandmen.
| وَلَكِنَّهُ تَرَكَ فِيهَا فُقَرَاءَ الأَرْضِ الْمَسَاكِينَ لِيَزْرَعُوهَا وَيَفْلَحُوهَا. | ١٢ |
13 And the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that [was] in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
| وَحَطَّمَ الْكِلْدَانِيُّونَ أَعْمِدَةَ النُّحَاسِ وَبِرْكَةَ النُّحَاسِ الَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَنَقَلُوا نُحَاسَهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ. | ١٣ |
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered, they took away.
| وَاسْتَوْلَوْا أَيْضاً عَلَى الْقُدُورِ وَالرُّفُوشِ وَالْمَقَاصِّ والصُّحُونِ وَجَمِيعِ آنِيَةِ النُّحَاسِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسْتَخْدَمُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ. | ١٤ |
15 And the fire-pans, and the bowls, [and] such things as [were] of gold, [in] gold, and of silver, [in] silver, the captain of the guard took away.
| وَكَذَلِكَ الْمَجَامِرِ وَالْمَنَاضِحِ. كُلُّ مَا كَانَ مَصْنُوعاً مِنَ ذَهَبٍ أَخَذَهُ قَائِدُ الْحَرَسِ الْمَلَكِيِّ كَذَهَبٍ، وَمَا كَانَ مَصْنُوعاً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ كَفِضَّةٍ. | ١٥ |
16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
| وَكَانَ مِنَ الْعَسِيرِ وَزْنُ النُّحَاسِ الَّذِي صَنَعَ مِنْهُ سُلَيْمَانُ الْعَمُودَيْنِ وَالْبِرْكَةَ الْوَاحِدَةَ، وَالْقَوَاعِدَ لِهَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ | ١٦ |
17 The hight of the one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it [was] brass: and the hight of the capital three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the capital around, all of brass: and like to these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
| إِذْ كَانَ ارْتِفَاعُ الْعَمُودِ يَزِيدُ عَلَى ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ تِسْعَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَقَدْ وُضِعَ عَلَيْهِ تَاجٌ ارْتِفَاعُهُ ثَلاثُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، تُحِيطُ بِهِ الشَّبَكَةُ وَالرُّمَّانَاتُ النُّحَاسِيَّةُ. وَكَانَ الْعَمُودُ الثَّانِي مَصْنُوعاً عَلَى غِرَارِ الْعَمُودِ الأَوَّلِ. | ١٧ |
18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
| وَسَبَى رَئِيسُ الْحَرَسِ الْمَلَكِيِّ سَرَايَا رَئِيسَ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَصَفَنْيَا مُسَاعِدَهُ، وَحُرَّاسَ الْبَابِ الثَّلاثَةَ. | ١٨ |
19 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land [that were] found in the city:
| وَقَبَضَ عَلَى خَصِيٍّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، كَانَ قَائِداً لِلْجَيْشِ، وَعَلَى خَمْسَةِ رِجَالٍ مِنْ نُدَمَاءِ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِينَ تَمَّ الْعُثُورُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَاتِبِ قَائِدِ الْجَيْشِ الْمَسْؤولِ عَنِ التَّجْنِيدِ، وَسِتِّينَ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْفَلّاحِينَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٩ |
20 And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
| وَاقْتَادَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ الْحَرَسِ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ الْمُعَسْكِرِ فِي رَبْلَةَ، | ٢٠ |
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
| فَقَتَلَهُمْ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ. وَهَكَذَا سُبِيَ شَعْبُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 And [as for] the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
| أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِينَ تَرَكَهُمْ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، فَقَدْ وَكَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ جَدَلْيَا بْنَ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ. | ٢٢ |
23 And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of Maachathite, they and their men.
| وَلَمَّا عَلِمَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْجُيُوشِ وَرِجَالُهُمْ أَنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدْ وَكَّلَ جَدَلْيَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ قَدِمُوا إِلَيْهِ فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ وَهُمْ إِسْماعِيلُ بْنُ نَثَنْيَا، وَيُوحَنَانُ بْنُ قَارِيحَ، وَسَرَايَا بْنُ تَنْحُومَثَ النَّطُوفَاتِيِّ، وَيَازَنْيَا بْنُ الْمَعْكِيِّ، يُرَافِقُهُمْ رِجَالُهُمْ. | ٢٣ |
24 And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their men, and said to them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
| فَحَلَفَ جَدَلْيَا لَهُمْ وَلِرِجَالِهِمْ قَائِلاً: «لا تَخَافُوا مِنْ مُوَظَّفِي الْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ. أَقِيمُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَاخدُمُوا مَلِكَ بَابِلَ فَتَنَالُوا خَيْراً». | ٢٤ |
25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
| وَلَكِنْ فِي الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ جَاءَ إِسْماعِيلُ بْنُ نَثَنْيَا بْنِ أَلِيشَمَعَ مِنَ النَّسْلِ الْمَلَكِيِّ، وَعَشْرَةُ رِجَالٍ مَعَهُ وَاغْتَالُوا جَدَلْيَا، وَقَتَلُوا أَيْضاً الْيَهُودَ وَالْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ مَعَهُ فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ. | ٢٥ |
26 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
| فَهَبَّ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ، صَغِيرُهُمْ وَكَبِيرُهُمْ، وَرُؤَسَاءُ الْجُيُوشِ، وَهَرَبُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ خَوْفاً مِنَ انْتِقَامِ الْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٦ |
27 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ لِسَبْيِ يَهُويَاكِينَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي عَشَرَ، أَطْلَقَ أَوِيلُ مَرُودَخُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، بِمُنَاسَبَةِ تَوَلِّيهِ الْعَرْشَ، يَهُويَاكِينَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا مِنَ السِّجْنِ. | ٢٧ |
28 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon;
| وَتَلَطَّفَ بِهِ وَأَكْرَمَهُ إِكْرَاماً فَوْقَ إِكْرَامِهِ لِسَائِرِ الْمُلُوكِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي بَابِلَ، | ٢٨ |
29 And changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
| وَأَبْدَلَ ثِيَابَ سِجْنِهِ، فَصَارَ يُنَادِمُ الْمَلِكَ عَلَى مَائِدَتِهِ بِصُورَةٍ دَائِمَةٍ. | ٢٩ |
30 And his allowance [was] a continual allowance given him by the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
| وَصَرَفَ لَهُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ رَاتِباً يَوْمِيًّا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ. | ٣٠ |
