٢ أخبار 20
| ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَتَى بَنُو مُوآبَ وَبَنُو عَمُّونَ وَمَعَهُمُ ٱلْعَمُّونِيُّونَ عَلَى يَهُوشَافَاطَ لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ. | ١ 1 |
It happened after this, that the people of Moab, and the people of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
| فَجَاءَ أُنَاسٌ وَأَخْبَرُوا يَهُوشَافَاطَ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ جَاءَ عَلَيْكَ جُمْهُورٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ عَبْرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ مِنْ أَرَامَ، وَهَا هُمْ فِي حَصُّونَ تَامَارَ». هِيَ عَيْنُ جَدْيٍ. | ٢ 2 |
Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, "A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Edom. Look, they are in Hazazon Tamar" (that is, En Gedi).
| فَخَافَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ وَجَعَلَ وَجْهَهُ لِيَطْلُبَ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَنَادَى بِصَوْمٍ فِي كُلِّ يَهُوذَا. | ٣ 3 |
Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to the LORD. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
| وَٱجْتَمَعَ يَهُوذَا لِيَسْأَلُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. جَاءُوا أَيْضًا مِنْ كُلِّ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا لِيَسْأَلُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. | ٤ 4 |
Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help from the LORD. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek the LORD.
| فَوَقَفَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَمَامَ ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْجَدِيدَةِ | ٥ 5 |
Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court;
| وَقَالَ: «يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ آبَائِنَا، أَمَا أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱللهُ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَنْتَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَبِيَدِكَ قُوَّةٌ وَجَبَرُوتٌ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَقِفُ مَعَكَ؟ | ٦ 6 |
and he said, "O LORD, the God of our fathers, aren't you God in heaven? Aren't you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you.
| أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ إِلَهَنَا ٱلَّذِي طَرَدْتَ سُكَّانَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَمَامِ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَعْطَيْتَهَا لِنَسْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Did you not, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?
| فَسَكَنُوا فِيهَا وَبَنَوْا لَكَ فِيهَا مَقْدِسًا لِٱسْمِكَ قَائِلِينَ: | ٨ 8 |
They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying,
| إِذَا جَاءَ عَلَيْنَا شَرٌّ، سَيْفٌ قَضَاءٌ أَوْ وَبَأٌ أَوْ جُوعٌ، وَوَقَفْنَا أَمَامَ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ وَأَمَامَكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱسْمَكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَصَرَخْنَا إِلَيْكَ مِنْ ضِيقِنَا فَإِنَّكَ تَسْمَعُ وَتُخَلِّصُ. | ٩ 9 |
'If evil comes on us—the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this house, and before you, (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.'
| وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا بَنُو عَمُّونَ وَمُوآبُ وَجَبَلُ سَاعِيرَ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ تَدَعْ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَدْخُلُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ حِينَ جَاءُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، بَلْ مَالُوا عَنْهُمْ وَلَمْ يُهْلِكُوهُمْ، | ١٠ 10 |
Now, look, the people of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and did not destroy them;
| فَهُوَذَا هُمْ يُكَافِئُونَنَا بِمَجِيئِهِمْ لِطَرْدِنَا مِنْ مُلْكِكَ ٱلَّذِي مَلَّكْتَنَا إِيَّاهُ. | ١١ 11 |
look, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
| يَا إِلَهَنَا أَمَا تَقْضِي عَلَيْهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِينَا قُوَّةٌ أَمَامَ هَذَا ٱلْجُمْهُورِ ٱلْكَثِيرِ ٱلْآتِي عَلَيْنَا، وَنَحْنُ لَا نَعْلَمُ مَاذَا نَعْمَلُ وَلَكِنْ نَحْوَكَ أَعْيُنُنَا». | ١٢ 12 |
Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do, but our eyes are on you."
| وَكَانَ كُلُّ يَهُوذَا وَاقِفِينَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ مَعَ أَطْفَالِهِمْ وَنِسَائِهِمْ وَبَنِيهِمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
All Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
| وَإِنَّ يَحْزَئِيلَ بْنَ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ بَنَايَا بْنِ يَعِيئِيلَ بْنِ مَتَّنِيَّا ٱللَّاوِيِّ مِنْ بَنِي آسَافَ، كَانَ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ، | ١٤ 14 |
Then the Spirit of the LORD came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly;
| فَقَالَ: «ٱصْغَوْا يَا جَمِيعَ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ يَهُوشَافَاطُ. هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَكُمْ: لَا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَرْتَاعُوا بِسَبَبِ هَذَا ٱلْجُمْهُورِ ٱلْكَثِيرِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْحَرْبَ لَيْسَتْ لَكُمْ بَلْ لِلهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
and he said, "Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat. Thus says the LORD to you, 'Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
| غَدًا ٱنْزِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ. هُوَذَا هُمْ صَاعِدُونَ فِي عَقَبَةِ صِيصَ فَتَجِدُوهُمْ فِي أَقْصَى ٱلْوَادِي أَمَامَ بَرِّيَّةِ يَرُوئِيلَ. | ١٦ 16 |
Tomorrow go down against them. Look, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
| لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُحَارِبُوا فِي هَذِهِ. قِفُوا ٱثْبُتُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا خَلَاصَ ٱلرَّبِّ مَعَكُمْ يَا يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمُ. لَا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَرْتَاعُوا. غَدًا ٱخْرُجُوا لِلِقَائِهِمْ وَٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ». | ١٧ 17 |
You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you.'"
| فَخَرَّ يَهُوشَافَاطُ لِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكُلُّ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ سَقَطُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ سُجُودًا لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٨ 18 |
Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.
| فَقَامَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ وَمِنْ بَنِي ٱلْقُورَحِيِّينَ لِيُسَبِّحُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ جِدًّا. | ١٩ 19 |
The Levites, of the descendants of the Kohathites and of the descendants of the Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.
| وَبَكَّرُوا صَبَاحًا وَخَرَجُوا إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ تَقُوعَ. وَعِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ وَقَفَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ وَقَالَ: «ٱسْمَعُوا يَايَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، آمِنُوا بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فَتَأْمَنُوا. آمِنُوا بِأَنْبِيَائِهِ فَتُفْلِحُوا». | ٢٠ 20 |
They rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your God, so you will be established. Believe his prophets, and you will prosper."
| وَلَمَّا ٱسْتَشَارَ ٱلشَّعْبَ أَقَامَ مُغَنِّينَ لِلرَّبِّ وَمُسَبِّحِينَ فِي زِينَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ أَمَامَ ٱلْمُتَجَرِّدِينَ وَقَائِلِينَ: «ٱحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ». | ٢١ 21 |
When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the LORD, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks to the LORD; for his loving kindness endures forever.
| وَلَمَّا ٱبْتَدَأُوا فِي ٱلْغِنَاءِ وَٱلتَّسْبِيحِ جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَكْمِنَةً عَلَى بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَمُوآبَ وَجَبَلِ سَاعِيرَ ٱلْآتِينَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا فَٱنْكَسَرُوا. | ٢٢ 22 |
When they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushers against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck.
| وَقَامَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ وَمُوآبُ عَلَى سُكَّانِ جَبَلِ سَاعِيرَ لِيُحَرِّمُوهُمْ وَيُهْلِكُوهُمْ. وَلَمَّا فَرَغُوا مِنْ سُكَّانِ سَاعِيرَ سَاعَدَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى إِهْلَاكِ بَعْضٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, utterly to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy another.
| وَلَمَّا جَاءَ يَهُوذَا إِلَى ٱلْمَرْقَبِ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ تَطَلَّعُوا نَحْوَ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ وَإِذَا هُمْ جُثَثٌ سَاقِطَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَنْفَلِتْ أَحَدٌ. | ٢٤ 24 |
When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and look, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped.
| فَأَتَى يَهُوشَافَاطُ وَشَعْبُهُ لِنَهْبِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ، فَوَجَدُوا بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْوَالًا وَجُثَثًا وَأَمْتِعَةً ثَمِينَةً بِكَثْرَةٍ، فَأَخَذُوهَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ حَتَّى لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَحْمِلُوهَا. وَكَانُوا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَنْهَبُونَ ٱلْغَنِيمَةَ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ كَثِيرَةً. | ٢٥ 25 |
When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their spoil, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much.
| وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا فِي وَادِي بَرَكَةَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ هُنَاكَ بَارَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، لِذَلِكَ دَعَوْا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «وَادِي بَرَكَةَ» إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
On the fourth day they assembled themselves in the Valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah to this day.
| ثُمَّ ٱرْتَدَّ كُلُّ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ بِرَأْسِهِمْ لِيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ بِفَرَحٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ فَرَّحَهُمْ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in their forefront, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
| وَدَخَلُوا أُورُشَلِيمَ بِٱلرَّبَابِ وَٱلْعِيدَانِ وَٱلْأَبْوَاقِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets to the house of the LORD.
| وَكَانَتْ هَيْبَةُ ٱللهِ عَلَى كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي حِينَ سَمِعُوا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ حَارَبَ أَعْدَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
| وَٱسْتَرَاحَتْ مَمْلَكَةُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ، وَأَرَاحَهُ إِلَهُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest all around.
| وَمَلَكَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ عَلَى يَهُوذَا. كَانَ ٱبْنَ خَمْسٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ عَزُوبَةُ بِنْتُ شَلْحِي. | ٣١ 31 |
Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
| وَسَارَ فِي طَرِيقِ أَبِيهِ آسَا وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْهَا إِذْ عَمِلَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
He walked in the way of Asa his father, and did not turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD.
| إِلَّا أَنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لَمْ تُنْتَزَعْ، بَلْ كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لَمْ يُعِدُّوا بَعْدُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِإِلَهِ آبَائِهِمْ. | ٣٣ 33 |
However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts to the God of their fathers.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْأَخِيرَةِ، هَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي أَخْبَارِ يَاهُوَ بْنِ حَنَانِي ٱلْمَذْكُورِ فِي سِفْرِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, look, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.
| ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱتَّحَدَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا مَعَ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي أَسَاءَ فِي عَمَلِهِ. | ٣٥ 35 |
After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly:
| فَٱتَّحَدَ مَعَهُ فِي عَمَلِ سُفُنٍ تَسِيرُ إِلَى تَرْشِيشَ، فَعَمِلَا ٱلسُّفُنَ فِي عِصْيُونَ جَابِرَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion Geber.
| وَتَنَبَّأَ أَلِيعَزَرُ بْنُ دُودَاوَاهُو مِنْ مَرِيشَةَ عَلَى يَهُوشَافَاطَ قَائِلًا: «لِأَنَّكَ ٱتَّحَدْتَ مَعَ أَخَزْيَا، قَدِ ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَعْمَالَكَ». فَتَكَسَّرَتِ ٱلسُّفُنُ وَلَمْ تَسْتَطِعِ ٱلسَّيْرَ إِلَى تَرْشِيشَ. | ٣٧ 37 |
Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works." The ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
