اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 13

١ 1 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِيُوآشَ بْنِ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ يَهُوأَحَازُ بْنُ يَاهُو عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.

٢ 2 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَارَ وَرَاءَ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْهَا.

He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it.

٣ 3 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَدَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ، وَلِيَدِ بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ حَزَائِيلَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

The anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.

٤ 4 وَتَضَرَّعَ يَهُوأَحَازُ إِلَى وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَسَمِعَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَنَّهُ رَأَى ضِيقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ ضَايَقَهُمْ.

Jehoahaz begged Jehovah, and Jehovah listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Aram oppressed them.

٥ 5 وَأَعْطَى ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُخَلِّصًا، فَخَرَجُوا مِنْ تَحْتِ يَدِ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ. وَأَقَامَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي خِيَامِهِمْ كَأَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ.

(Jehovah gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Arameans; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.

٦ 6 وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحِيدُوا عَنْ خَطَايَا بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، بَلْ سَارُوا بِهَا. وَوَقَفَتِ ٱلسَّارِيَةُ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ.

Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin; they walked in them. And the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)

٧ 7 لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُبْقِ لِيَهُوأَحَازَ شَعْبًا إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ فَارِسًا وَعَشَرَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَعَشْرَةَ آلَافِ رَاجِلٍ، لِأَنَّ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ أَفْنَاهُمْ وَوَضَعَهُمْ كَٱلتُّرَابِ لِلدَّوْسِ.

For he did not leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Aram destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing.

٨ 8 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَهُوأَحَازَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

٩ 9 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يَهُوأَحَازُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَمَلَكَ يُوآشُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his place.

١٠ 10 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِيُوآشَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ يَهُوآشُ بْنُ يَهُوأَحَازَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.

١١ 11 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ جَمِيعِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، بَلْ سَارَ بِهَا.

He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in it.

١٢ 12 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُوآشَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ وَكَيْفَ حَارَبَ أَمَصْيَا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يُوآشُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَجَلَسَ يَرُبْعَامُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ. وَدُفِنَ يُوآشُ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ مَعَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

١٤ 14 وَمَرِضَ أَلِيشَعُ مَرَضَهُ ٱلَّذِي مَاتَ بِهِ، فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ يُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَكَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبِي، يَا أَبِي، يَا مَرْكَبَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفُرْسَانَهَا».

Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness of which he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen."

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ لَهُ أَلِيشَعُ: «خُذْ قَوْسًا وَسِهَامًا». فَأَخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ قَوْسًا وَسِهَامًا.

Elisha said to him, "Take bow and arrows"; and he took to him bow and arrows.

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «رَكِّبْ يَدَكَ عَلَى ٱلْقَوْسِ». فَرَكَّبَ يَدَهُ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ أَلِيشَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى يَدَيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ

He said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow"; and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands.

١٧ 17 وَقَالَ: «ٱفْتَحِ ٱلْكَوَّةَ لِجِهَةِ ٱلشَّرْقِ». فَفَتَحَهَا. فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «ٱرْمِ». فَرَمَى. فَقَالَ: «سَهْمُ خَلَاصٍ لِلرَّبِّ وَسَهْمُ خَلَاصٍ مِنْ أَرَامَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَضْرِبُ أَرَامَ فِي أَفِيقَ إِلَى ٱلْفَنَاءِ».

He said, "Open the window eastward"; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, "Shoot." and he shot. He said, "Jehovah's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Aram; for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek, until you have consumed them."

١٨ 18 ثُمَّ قَالَ: «خُذِ ٱلسِّهَامَ». فَأَخَذَهَا. ثُمَّ قَالَ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «ٱضْرِبْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». فَضَرَبَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَوَقَفَ.

He said, "Take the arrows"; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, "Strike the ground"; and he struck three times, and stopped.

١٩ 19 فَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ وَقَالَ: «لَوْ ضَرَبْتَ خَمْسَ أَوْ سِتَّ مَرَّاتٍ، حِينَئِذٍ ضَرَبْتَ أَرَامَ إِلَى ٱلْفَنَاءِ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا تَضْرِبُ أَرَامَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ».

The man of God was angry with him, and said, "You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Aram until you had consumed it, whereas now you shall strike Aram just three times."

٢٠ 20 وَمَاتَ أَلِيشَعُ فَدَفَنُوهُ. وَكَانَ غُزَاةُ مُوآبَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ عِنْدَ دُخُولِ ٱلسَّنَةِ.

Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

٢١ 21 وَفِيمَا كَانُوا يَدْفِنُونَ رَجُلًا إِذَا بِهِمْ قَدْ رَأَوْا ٱلْغُزَاةَ، فَطَرَحُوا ٱلرَّجُلَ فِي قَبْرِ أَلِيشَعَ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ ٱلرَّجُلُ وَمَسَّ عِظَامَ أَلِيشَعَ عَاشَ وَقَامَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ.

It happened, as they were burying a man, that look, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

٢٢ 22 وَأَمَّا حَزَائِيلُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ فَضَايَقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ يَهُوأَحَازَ،

Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

٢٣ 23 فَحَنَّ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَحِمَهُمْ وَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمْ لِأَجْلِ عَهْدِهِ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، وَلَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يَسْتَأْصِلَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَطْرَحْهُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى ٱلْآنَ.

But Jehovah was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.

٢٤ 24 ثُمَّ مَاتَ حَزَائِيلُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ، وَمَلَكَ بَنْهَدَدُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

Hazael king of Aram died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.

٢٥ 25 فَعَادَ يَهُوآشُ بْنُ يَهُوأَحَازَ وَأَخَذَ ٱلْمُدُنَ مِنْ يَدِ بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ حَزَائِيلَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مِنْ يَدِ يَهُوأَحَازَ أَبِيهِ بِٱلْحَرْبِ. ضَرَبَهُ يُوآشُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَٱسْتَرَدَّ مُدُنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.
