اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 12

١ 1 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ لِيَاهُو، مَلَكَ يَهُوآشُ. مَلَكَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ ظَبْيَةُ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ.

Joash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu. And he reigned forty years in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

٢ 2 وَعَمِلَ يَهُوآشُ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا عَلَّمَهُ يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ،

And Joash did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

٣ 3 إِلَّا أَنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لَمْ تُنْتَزَعْ، بَلْ كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَزَالُونَ يَذْبَحُونَ وَيُوقِدُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ.

However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

٤ 4 وَقَالَ يَهُوآشُ لِلْكَهَنَةِ: «جَمِيعُ فِضَّةِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ ٱلَّتِي أُدْخِلَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلْفِضَّةُ ٱلرَّائِجَةُ، فِضَّةُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ ٱلنُّفُوسِ ٱلْمُقَوَّمَةِ، كُلُّ فِضَّةٍ يَخْطُرُ بِبَالِ إِنْسَانٍ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهَا إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،

And Joash said to the priests, All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Jehovah,

٥ 5 لِيَأْخُذَهَا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ صَاحِبِهِ، وَهُمْ يُرَمِّمُونَ مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ، كُلَّ مَا وُجِدَ فِيهِ مُتَهَدِّمًا».

let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance, and they shall repair the broken parts of the house wherever any breach shall be found.

٦ 6 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِلْمَلِكِ يَهُوآشَ لَمْ تَكُنِ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ رَمَّمُوا مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ.

But it was so, that in the twenty-third year of king Joash the priests had not repaired the broken parts of the house.

٧ 7 فَدَعَا ٱلْمَلِكُ يَهُوآشُ يَهُويَادَاعَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَٱلْكَهَنَةَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ تُرَمِّمُوا مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ؟ فَٱلْآنَ لَا تَأْخُذُوا فِضَّةً مِنْ عِنْدِ أَصْحَابِكُمْ، بَلِ ٱجْعَلُوهَا لِمَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ».

Then king Joash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, Why do ye not repair the broken parts of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your acquaintance, but deliver it for the broken parts of the house.

٨ 8 فَوَافَقَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ عَلَى أَنْ لَا يَأْخُذُوا فِضَّةً مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَلَا يُرَمِّمُوا مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ.

And the priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, neither repair the broken parts of the house.

٩ 9 فَأَخَذَ يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ صُنْدُوقًا وَثَقَبَ ثَقْبًا فِي غِطَائِهِ، وَجَعَلَهُ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ عِنْدَ دُخُولِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ حَارِسُو ٱلْبَابِ جَعَلُوا فِيهِ كُلَّ ٱلْفِضَّةِ ٱلْمُدْخَّلَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as a man comes into the house of Jehovah. And the priests who kept the threshold put in it all the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah.

١٠ 10 وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَأَوْا ٱلْفِضَّةَ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ فِي ٱلصُّنْدُوقِ، أَنَّهُ صَعِدَ كَاتِبُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ وَصَرُّوا وَحَسَبُوا ٱلْفِضَّةَ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of Jehovah.

١١ 11 وَدَفَعُوا ٱلْفِضَّةَ ٱلْمَحْسُوبَةَ إِلَى أَيْدِي عَامِلِي ٱلشُّغْلِ ٱلْمُوَكَّلِينَ عَلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَنْفَقُوهَا لِلنَّجَّارِينَ وَٱلْبَنَّائِينَ ٱلْعَامِلِينَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،

And they gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Jehovah. And they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked upon the house of Jehovah,

١٢ 12 وَلِبَنَّائِي ٱلْحِيطَانِ وَنَحَّاتِي ٱلْحِجَارَةِ، وَلِشِرَاءِ ٱلْأَخْشَابِ وَٱلْحِجَارَةِ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةِ لِتَرْمِيمِ مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلِكُلِّ مَا يُنْفَقُ عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ لِتَرْمِيمِهِ.

and to the masons and the hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the broken parts of the house of Jehovah, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

١٣ 13 إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْمَلْ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ طُسُوسُ فِضَّةٍ وَلَا مِقَصَّاتٌ وَلَا مَنَاضِحُ وَلَا أَبْوَاقٌ، كُلُّ آنِيَةِ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَآنِيَةِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ ٱلدَّاخِلَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،

But there were not made for the house of Jehovah cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah,

١٤ 14 بَلْ كَانُوا يَدْفَعُونَهَا لِعَامِلِي ٱلشُّغْلِ، فَكَانُوا يُرَمِّمُونَ بِهَا بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

for they gave that to those who did the work, and with it repaired the house of Jehovah.

١٥ 15 وَلَمْ يُحَاسِبُوا ٱلرِّجَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَلَّمُوهُمُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ لِكَيْ يُعْطُوهَا لِعَامِلِي ٱلشُّغْلِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ بِأَمَانَةٍ.

Moreover they did not reckon with the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work, for they dealt faithfully.

١٦ 16 وَأَمَّا فِضَّةُ ذَبِيحَةِ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَفِضَّةُ ذَبِيحَةِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ فَلَمْ تُدْخَلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَلْ كَانَتْ لِلْكَهَنَةِ.

The money for the trespass offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah; it was the priests'.

١٧ 17 حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ حَزَائِيلُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ وَحَارَبَ جَتَّ وَأَخَذَهَا، ثُمَّ حَوَّلَ حَزَائِيلُ وَجْهَهُ لِيَصْعَدَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it. And Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

١٨ 18 فَأَخَذَ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ ٱلَّتِي قَدَّسَهَا يَهُوشَافَاطُ وَيَهُورَامُ وَأَخَزْيَا آبَاؤُهُ مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا، وَأَقْدَاسَهُ وَكُلَّ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْمَوْجُودِ فِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ فَصَعِدَ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And Joash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria. And he went away from Jerusalem.

١٩ 19 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُوآشَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

٢٠ 20 وَقَامَ عَبِيدُهُ وَفَتَنُوا فِتْنَةً وَقَتَلُوا يُوآشَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْقَلْعَةِ حَيْثُ يَنْزِلُ إِلَى سَلَّى.

And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.

٢١ 21 لِأَنَّ يُوزَاكَارَ بْنَ شِمْعَةَ وَيَهُوزَابَادَ بْنَ شُومِيرَ عَبْدَيْهِ ضَرَبَاهُ فَمَاتَ، فَدَفَنُوهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ أَمَصْيَا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
