2 Kings 21

1 A son of twelve years [is] Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hephzi-Bah;

١ كَانَ مَنَسَّى فِي الثَّانِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا تَوَلَّى مَقَالِيدَ الْحُكْمِ، وَظَلَّ مَلِكاً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مُدَّةَ خَمْسٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَفْصِيبَةُ.

2 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,

٢ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، مُقْتَرِفاً رَجَاسَاتِ الْأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،

3 and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father destroyed, and raiseth altars for Baal, and maketh a shrine, as did Ahab king of Israel, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth them.

٣ فَعَادَ وَشَيَّدَ مَعَابِدَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّتِي هَدَمَهَا أَبُوهُ حَزَقِيَّا، وَأَقَامَ مَذَابِحَ الْبَعْلِ، وَنَصَبَ تَمَاثِيلَ عَشْتَارُوثَ عَلَى غِرَارِ مَا صَنَعَ آخْابُ، وَسَجَدَ لِكَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ وَعَبَدَهَا.

4 And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah said, 'In Jerusalem I put My name.'

٤ وَبَنَى مَذَابِحَ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ الَّذِي قَالَ عَنْهُ الرَّبُّ: «فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَجَعْلُ اسْمِي».

5 And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah;

٥ وَبَنَى فِي دَارَيْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ مَذَابِحَ لِكُلِّ كَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ.

6 and he hath caused his son to pass through fire, and observed clouds, and used enchantment, and dealt with a familiar spirit and wizards; he hath multiplied to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah — to provoke to anger.

٦ وَأَجَازَ ابْنَهُ فِي النَّارِ، وَرَصَدَ الأَوْقَاتَ وَلَجَأَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِ الْجَانِ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ وَأَوْغَلَ فِي ارْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ مِمَّا أَثَارَ عَلَيْهِ غَضَبَ اللهِ الرَّهِيبَ.

7 And he setteth the graven image of the shrine that he made in the house of which Jehovah said unto David and unto Solomon his son, 'In this house, and in Jerusalem, that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My name — to the age;

٧ وَنَصَبَ تِمْثَالَ عَشْتَارُوثَ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ، فِي الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي قَالَ الرَّبُّ عَنْهُ لِدَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ: «فِي هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ، وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا مِنَ الأَرْضِ، الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ، أَجْعَلُ اسْمِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

8 and I do not add to cause the foot of Israel to move from the ground that I gave to their fathers, only, if they observe to do according to all that I commanded them, and to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.'

٨ فَإِذَا أَطَاعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَمِلُوا كُلَّ مَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ، وَطَبَّقُوا الشَّرِيعَةَ الَّتِي أَوْصَاهُمْ بِها عَبْدِي مُوسَى، فَإِنَّنِي لَنْ أُزَعْزِعَ أَقْدَامَهُمْ مِنَ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ».

9 And they have not hearkened, and Manasseh causeth them to err, to do the evil thing above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

٩ لَكِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْا، بَلْ أَضَلَّهُمْ مَنَسَّى فَارْتَكَبُوا مَا هُوَ أَقْبَحُ مِمَّا تَرْتَكِبُهُ الأُمَمُ الَّتِي طَرَدَهَا الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

10 And Jehovah speaketh by the hand of his servants the prophets, saying,

١٠ ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبِيدِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ:

11 'Because that Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations — he hath done evil above all that the Amorites have done who [are] before him, and causeth also Judah to sin by his idols;

١١ «لأَنَّ مَنَسَّى مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا اقْتَرَفَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْمُوبِقَاتِ، وَارْتَكَبَ شُرُوراً أَشَدَّ فَظَاعَةً مِنْ شُرُورِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلَهُ، وَأَضَلَّ يَهُوذَا فَجَعَلَهُ يَأْثَمُ بِعِبَادَةِ أَصْنَامِهِ،

12 therefore thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Lo, I am bringing in evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever heareth of it, tingle do his two ears.

١٢ لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَا أَنَا أَجْلِبُ شَرّاً عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا، فَتَطِنُّ أُذُنَا كُلِّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ بِهِ.

13 And I have stretched out over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and wiped Jerusalem as one wipeth the dish — he hath wiped, and hath turned [it] on its face.

١٣ وَسأُوْقِعُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ الْعِقَابَ الَّذِي أَوْقَعْتُهُ بِالسَّامِرَةِ، وَبِأَخْآبَ وَنَسْلِهِ. وَأَمْسَحُ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنَ الْوُجُودِ كَمَا يُمْسَحُ الطَّبَقُ مِنْ بَقَايَا الطَّعَامِ، ثُمَّ يُقْلَبُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ لِيَجِفَّ.

14 'And I have left the remnant of Mine inheritance, and given them into the hand of their enemies, and they have been for a prey and for a spoil to all their enemies,

١٤ وَأَنْبِذُ بَقِيَّةَ شَعْبِي وَأُسَلِّمُهُمْ إِلَى أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِهِمْ، فَيُصْبِحُونَ غَنِيمَةً وَأَسْرَى لَهُمْ،

15 because that they have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, and are provoking Me to anger from the day that their fathers came out of Egypt, even unto this day.'

١٥ لأَنَّهُمِ ارْتَكَبُوا الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَأَثَارُوا سَخَطِي مُنْذُ خُرُوجِ آبَائِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

16 And also, innocent blood hath Manasseh shed very much, till that he hath filled Jerusalem — mouth to mouth; apart from his sin that he hath caused Judah to sin, to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.

١٦ وَزَادَ مَنَسَّى فَسَفَكَ دَمَ أَبْرِيَاءَ كَثِيرِينَ، حَتَّى مَلأَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ أَقْصَاهَا إِلَى أَقْصَاهَا، فَضْلاً عَنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ الَّتِي اسْتَغْوَى بِها يَهُوذَا، وَجَعَلَهُ يَرْتَكِبُ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ».

17 And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

١٧ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ مَنَسَّى وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ وَمَا ارْتَكَبَ مِنْ خَطِيئَةٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

18 And Manasseh lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza, and reign doth Amon his son in his stead.

١٨ ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَنَسَّى وَدُفِنَ فِي حَدِيقَةِ قَصْرِهِ، فِي حَدِيقَةِ عُزَّا. وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آمُونُ.

19 A son of twenty and two years [is] Amon in his reigning, and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz of Jotbah,

١٩ وَكَانَ آمُونُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ سَنَتَيْنِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَشُلَّمَةُ بِنْتُ حَارُوصَ مِنْ يَطْبَةَ،

20 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father,

٢٠ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ مِثْلَ أَبِيهِ.

21 and walketh in all the way that his father walked in, and serveth the idols that his father served, and boweth himself to them,

٢١ لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ طَرِيقِ أَبِيهِ، وَعَبَدَ الأَصْنَامَ الَّتِي عَبَدَهَا أَبُوهُ وَسَجَدَ لَهَا.

22 and forsaketh Jehovah, God of his fathers, and hath not walked in the way of Jehovah.

٢٢ وَتَخَلَّى عَنِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِ، وَلَمْ يَتَّبِعْ طَرِيقَهُ.

23 And the servants of Amon conspire against him, and put the king to death in his own house,

٢٣ وَتَآمَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِجَالُهُ وَاغْتَالُوهُ فِي قَصْرِهِ،

24 and the people of the land smite all those conspiring against king Amon, and the people of the land cause Josiah his son to reign in his stead.

٢٤ غَيْرَ أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ هَاجَمَ قَتَلَةَ الْمَلِكِ آمُونَ وَقَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ، وَنَصَّبَ يُوشِيَّا ابْنَهُ خَلَفاً لَهُ.

25 And the rest of the matters of Amon that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

٢٥ أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ آمُونَ وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِي مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا.

26 and [one] burieth him in his burying-place in the garden of Uzza, and reign doth Josiah his son in his stead.

٢٦ وَدُفِنَ فِي قَبْرِهِ فِي حَدِيقَةِ عُزَّا وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ يُوشِيَّا عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.
