< اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 12 >

فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ لِيَاهُو، مَلَكَ يَهُوآشُ. مَلَكَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ ظَبْيَةُ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. ١ 1
In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash reigned. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebiah from Beersheba.
وَعَمِلَ يَهُوآشُ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا عَلَّمَهُ يَهُويَادَاعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ، ٢ 2
And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord, during all the days that Jehoiada, the priest, taught him.
إِلَّا أَنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لَمْ تُنْتَزَعْ، بَلْ كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَزَالُونَ يَذْبَحُونَ وَيُوقِدُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ. ٣ 3
Yet still he did not take away the high places. For the people were still immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
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، ٤ 4
And Jehoash said to the priests: “All of the money for the holy things, which has been brought into the temple of the Lord from those who pass by, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which they bring into the temple of the Lord willingly, from their own free heart:
لِيَأْخُذَهَا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ صَاحِبِهِ، وَهُمْ يُرَمِّمُونَ مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ، كُلَّ مَا وُجِدَ فِيهِ مُتَهَدِّمًا». ٥ 5
let the priests, according to their ranks, take and use it in order to repair the surfaces of the house, wherever they see anything in need of repair.”
وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِلْمَلِكِ يَهُوآشَ لَمْ تَكُنِ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ رَمَّمُوا مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ. ٦ 6
And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of the temple.
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». ٧ 7
And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: “Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.”
فَوَافَقَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ عَلَى أَنْ لَا يَأْخُذُوا فِضَّةً مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَلَا يُرَمِّمُوا مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ. ٨ 8
And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.
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. ٩ 9
And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple of the Lord.
وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَأَوْا ٱلْفِضَّةَ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ فِي ٱلصُّنْدُوقِ، أَنَّهُ صَعِدَ كَاتِبُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ وَصَرُّوا وَحَسَبُوا ٱلْفِضَّةَ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٠ 10
And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
وَدَفَعُوا ٱلْفِضَّةَ ٱلْمَحْسُوبَةَ إِلَى أَيْدِي عَامِلِي ٱلشُّغْلِ ٱلْمُوَكَّلِينَ عَلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَنْفَقُوهَا لِلنَّجَّارِينَ وَٱلْبَنَّائِينَ ٱلْعَامِلِينَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ١١ 11
And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord
وَلِبَنَّائِي ٱلْحِيطَانِ وَنَحَّاتِي ٱلْحِجَارَةِ، وَلِشِرَاءِ ٱلْأَخْشَابِ وَٱلْحِجَارَةِ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةِ لِتَرْمِيمِ مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلِكُلِّ مَا يُنْفَقُ عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ لِتَرْمِيمِهِ. ١٢ 12
and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.
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، ١٣ 13
Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.
بَلْ كَانُوا يَدْفَعُونَهَا لِعَامِلِي ٱلشُّغْلِ، فَكَانُوا يُرَمِّمُونَ بِهَا بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٤ 14
For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
وَلَمْ يُحَاسِبُوا ٱلرِّجَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَلَّمُوهُمُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ لِكَيْ يُعْطُوهَا لِعَامِلِي ٱلشُّغْلِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ بِأَمَانَةٍ. ١٥ 15
And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.
وَأَمَّا فِضَّةُ ذَبِيحَةِ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَفِضَّةُ ذَبِيحَةِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ فَلَمْ تُدْخَلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَلْ كَانَتْ لِلْكَهَنَةِ. ١٦ 16
Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for the priests.
حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ حَزَائِيلُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ وَحَارَبَ جَتَّ وَأَخَذَهَا، ثُمَّ حَوَّلَ حَزَائِيلُ وَجْهَهُ لِيَصْعَدَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٧ 17
Then Hazael, the king of Syria, ascended and fought against Gath, and he captured it. And he directed his face, so that he might ascend against Jerusalem.
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. ١٨ 18
For this reason, Jehoash, the king of Judah, took all the sanctified things, which Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had consecrated and which he himself had offered, and all the silver that could be found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and in the palace of the king, and he sent it to Hazael, the king of Syria. And so he withdrew from Jerusalem.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُوآشَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ ١٩ 19
Now the rest of the words of Jehoash, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
وَقَامَ عَبِيدُهُ وَفَتَنُوا فِتْنَةً وَقَتَلُوا يُوآشَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْقَلْعَةِ حَيْثُ يَنْزِلُ إِلَى سَلَّى. ٢٠ 20
Then his servants rose up and conspired among themselves. And they struck down Jehoash, at the house of Millo, on the descent of Silla.
لِأَنَّ يُوزَاكَارَ بْنَ شِمْعَةَ وَيَهُوزَابَادَ بْنَ شُومِيرَ عَبْدَيْهِ ضَرَبَاهُ فَمَاتَ، فَدَفَنُوهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ أَمَصْيَا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ٢١ 21
For Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
