مَلَكَ أَمَصْيَا وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، وَمَلَكَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَهُوعَدَّانُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١ 1
Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ بِقَلْبٍ كَامِلٍ. ٢ 2
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a whole heart.
وَلَمَّا تَثَبَّتَتِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةُ عَلَيْهِ قَتَلَ عَبِيدَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ أَبَاهُ. ٣ 3
It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants who had murdered his father, the king.
وَأَمَّا بَنُوهُمْ فَلَمْ يَقْتُلْهُمْ، بَلْ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ فِي سِفْرِ مُوسَى حَيْثُ أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَمُوتُ ٱلْآبَاءُ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْبَنِينَ، وَلَا ٱلْبَنُونَ يَمُوتُونَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْآبَاءِ، بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَمُوتُ لِأَجْلِ خَطِيَّتِهِ». ٤ 4
But he did not put the children of the murderers to death, but acted according to what was written in the law, in the Book of Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, “The fathers must not die for the children, nor must the children die for the fathers. Instead, every person must die for his own sin.”
وَجَمَعَ أَمَصْيَا يَهُوذَا وَأَقَامَهُمْ حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ ٱلْآبَاءِ رُؤَسَاءَ أُلُوفٍ وَرُؤَسَاءَ مِئَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ، وَأَحْصَاهُمْ مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ، فَوَجَدَهُمْ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ مُخْتَارٍ خَارِجٍ لِلْحَرْبِ حَامِلِ رُمْحٍ وَتُرْسٍ. ٥ 5
Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah together, and registered them by their ancestors' houses, under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—all of Judah and Benjamin. He numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them to be 300,000 chosen men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield.
وَٱسْتَأْجَرَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِئَةَ أَلْفِ جَبَّارِ بَأْسٍ بِمِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ. ٦ 6
He hired also 100,000 fighting men from Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ قَائِلًا: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، لَا يَأْتِي مَعَكَ جَيْشُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَيْسَ مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَعَ كُلِّ بَنِي أَفْرَايِمَ. ٧ 7
But a man of God came to him and said, “King, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel—none of the people of Ephraim.
وَإِنْ ذَهَبْتَ أَنْتَ فَٱعْمَلْ وَتَشَدَّدْ لِلْقِتَالِ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ يُسْقِطُكَ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، لِأَنَّ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ قُوَّةً لِلْمُسَاعَدَةِ وَلِلْإِسْقَاطِ». ٨ 8
But even if you do go and are courageous and strong in battle, God will throw you down before the enemy, for God has power to help, and power to throw down.”
فَقَالَ أَمَصْيَا لِرَجُلِ ٱللهِ: «فَمَاذَا يُعْمَلُ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمِئَةِ ٱلْوَزْنَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهَا لِغُزَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» فَقَالَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذِهِ». ٩ 9
Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what will we do about the one hundred talents that I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than that.”
فَأَفْرَزَ أَمَصْيَا ٱلْغُزَاةَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ لِكَيْ يَنْطَلِقُوا إِلَى مَكَانِهِمْ، فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُهُمْ جِدًّا عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى مَكَانِهِمْ بِحُمُوِّ ٱلْغَضَبِ. ١٠ 10
So Amaziah separated the army that had come to him from Ephraim; he sent them home again. So their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
وَأَمَّا أَمَصْيَا فَتَشَدَّدَ وَٱقْتَادَ شَعْبَهُ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى وَادِي ٱلْمِلْحِ، وَضَرَبَ مِنْ بَنِي سَاعِيرَ عَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ، ١١ 11
Amaziah took courage and led his people to go out to the Valley of Salt; there he defeated ten thousand men of Seir.
وَعَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ أَحْيَاءَ سَبَاهُمْ بَنُو يَهُوذَا وَأَتَوْا بِهِمْ إِلَى رَأْسِ سَالِعَ وَطَرَحُوهُمْ عَنْ رَأْسِ سَالِعَ فَتَكَسَّرُوا أَجْمَعُونَ. ١٢ 12
The army of Judah carried away alive another ten thousand. They took them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from there, so that they were all broken in pieces.
وَأَمَّا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْغُزَاةُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْجَعَهُمْ أَمَصْيَا عَنِ ٱلذَّهَابِ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْقِتَالِ فَٱقْتَحَمُوا مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ حُورُونَ، وَضَرَبُوا مِنْهُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ وَنَهَبُوا نَهْبًا كَثِيرًا. ١٣ 13
But the men of the army which Amaziah sent back, so that they should not go with him to battle, attacked the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They struck down three thousand of the people and took much plunder.
ثُمَّ بَعْدَ مَجِيءِ أَمَصْيَا مِنْ ضَرْبِ ٱلْأَدُومِيِّينَ أَتَى بِآلِهَةِ بَنِي سَاعِيرَ وَأَقَامَهُمْ لَهُ آلِهَةً، وَسَجَدَ أَمَامَهُمْ وَأَوْقَدَ لَهُمْ. ١٤ 14
Now it came about, after that Amaziah had returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, and set them up to be his own gods. He bowed down before them and burned incense to them.
فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أَمَصْيَا وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ نَبِيًّا فَقَالَ لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا طَلَبْتَ آلِهَةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يُنْقِذُوا شَعْبَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِكَ؟» ١٥ 15
So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why have you sought after the gods of a people who did not even save their own people from your hand?”
وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُ قَالَ لَهُ: «هَلْ جَعَلُوكَ مُشِيرًا لِلْمَلِكِ؟ كُفَّ! لِمَاذَا يَقْتُلُونَكَ؟» فَكَفَّ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ قَضَى بِهَلَاكِكَ لِأَنَّكَ عَمِلْتَ هَذَا وَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِمَشُورَتِي». ١٦ 16
It came about that as the prophet was speaking with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you an advisor to the king? Stop! Why should you be killed?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has decided to destroy you because you have done this deed and have not listened to my advice.”
فَٱسْتَشَارَ أَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى يُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوآحَازَ بْنِ يَاهُو مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «هَلُمَّ نَتَرَاءَ مُواجَهَةً». ١٧ 17
Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted with advisors and sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”
فَأَرْسَلَ يُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَمَصْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا: «ٱلْعَوْسَجُ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْزِ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ يَقُولُ: أَعْطِ ٱبْنَتَكَ لِٱبْنِي ٱمْرَأَةً. فَعَبَرَ حَيَوَانٌ بَرِّيٌّ كَانَ فِي لُبْنَانَ وَدَاسَ ٱلْعَوْسَجَ. ١٨ 18
But Jehoash the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked by and trampled down the thistle.
تَقُولُ: هَأَنَذَا قَدْ ضَرَبْتُ أَدُومَ، فَرَفَّعَكَ قَلْبُكَ لِلتَّمَجُّدِ! فَٱلْآنَ أَقِمْ فِي بَيْتِكَ. لِمَاذَا تَهْجُمُ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِّ فَتَسْقُطَ أَنْتَ وَيَهُوذَا مَعَكَ؟». ١٩ 19
You have said, 'See, I have struck down Edom,' and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both you and Judah with you?”
فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَمَصْيَا لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ طَلَبُوا آلِهَةَ أَدُومَ. ٢٠ 20
But Amaziah would not listen, because this event was from God, so he might put the people of Judah into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought advice from the gods of Edom.
وَصَعِدَ يُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَتَرَاءَيَا مُواجَهَةً، هُوَ وَأَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا، فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا. ٢١ 21
So Jehoash, king of Israel, attacked; he and Amaziah, king of Judah, met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
فَٱنْهَزَمَ يَهُوذَا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهَرَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ. ٢٢ 22
Judah was struck down before Israel, and every man fled home.
وَأَمَّا أَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا ٱبْنُ يُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوآحَازَ فَأَمْسَكَهُ يُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ وَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَهَدَمَ سُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ، أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ ذِرَاعٍ. ٢٣ 23
Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, at Beth Shemesh. He brought him to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.
وَأَخَذَ كُلَّ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَكُلَّ ٱلْآنِيَةِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ مَعَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَخَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلرُّهَنَاءَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. ٢٤ 24
He took all the gold and silver, all the objects that were found in the house of God with Obed Edom, and the valuable things in the king's house, with hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
وَعَاشَ أَمَصْيَا بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا بَعْدَ مَوْتِ يُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوآحَازَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ خَمْسَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً. ٢٥ 25
Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَمَصْيَا ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْأَخِيرَةِ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ.؟ ٢٦ 26
As for the other matters concerning Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
وَمِنْ حِينَ حَادَ أَمَصْيَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلرَّبِّ فَتَنُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَهَرَبَ إِلَى لَخِيشَ، فَأَرْسَلُوا وَرَاءَهُ إِلَى لَخِيشَ وَقَتَلُوهُ هُنَاكَ، ٢٧ 27
Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they began to make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there.
وَحَمَلُوهُ عَلَى ٱلْخَيْلِ وَدَفَنُوهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ يَهُوذَا. ٢٨ 28
They brought him back on horses and buried him with his ancestors in the city of Judah.
