اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 14

١ 1 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِيُوآشَ بْنِ يُوأَحَازَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلَكَ أَمَصْيَا بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.

The second yeere of Ioash sonne of Iehoahaz King of Israel reigned Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah.

٢ 2 كَانَ ٱبْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَهُوعَدَّانُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned nine and twentie yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Iehoadan of Ierusalem.

٣ 3 وَعَمِلَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، عَمِلَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ يُوآشُ أَبُوهُ.

And he did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, yet not like Dauid his father, but did according to all that Ioash his father had done.

٤ 4 إِلَّا أَنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لَمْ تُنْتَزَعْ، بَلْ كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَزَالُونَ يَذْبَحُونَ وَيُوقِدُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ.

Notwithstanding the hie places were not taken away: for as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense in the hie places.

٥ 5 وَلَمَّا تَثَبَّتَتِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةُ بِيَدِهِ، قَتَلَ عَبِيدَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ أَبَاهُ.

And when the kingdome was confirmed in his hand, he slewe his seruants which had killed the King his father.

٦ 6 وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْتُلْ أَبْنَاءَ ٱلْقَاتِلِينَ حَسَبَ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي سِفْرِ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، حَيْثُ أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: «لَا يُقْتَلُ ٱلْآبَاءُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْبَنِينَ، وَٱلْبَنُونَ لَا يُقْتَلُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْآبَاءِ. إِنَّمَا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يُقْتَلُ بِخَطِيَّتِهِ».

But the children of those that did slay him, he slewe not, according vnto that that is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children put to death for the fathers: but euery man shall be put to death for his owne sinne.

٧ 7 هُوَ قَتَلَ مِنْ أَدُومَ فِي وَادِي ٱلْمِلْحِ عَشْرَةَ آلَافٍ، وَأَخَذَ سَالِعَ بِٱلْحَرْبِ، وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهَا يَقْتَئِيلَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

He slew also of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and tooke the citie of Sela by warre, and called the name thereof Ioktheel vnto this day.

٨ 8 حِينَئِذٍ أَرْسَلَ أَمَصْيَا رُسُلًا إِلَى يَهُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوأَحَازَ بْنِ يَاهُو مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «هَلُمَّ نَتَرَاءَ مُواجَهَةً».

Then Amaziah sent messengers to Iehoash the sonne of Iehoahaz, sonne of Iehu King of Israel, saying, Come, let vs see one another in the face.

٩ 9 فَأَرْسَلَ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَمَصْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا: «اَلْعَوْسَجُ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْزِ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ يَقُولُ: أَعْطِ ٱبْنَتَكَ لِٱبْنِي ٱمْرَأَةً. فَعَبَرَ حَيَوَانٌ بَرِّيٌّ كَانَ فِي لُبْنَانَ وَدَاسَ ٱلْعَوْسَجَ.

Then Iehoash the King of Israel sent to Amaziah King of Iudah, saying, The thistle that is in Lebanon, sent to the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, Giue thy daughter to my sonne to wife: and the wilde beast that was in Lebanon, went and trode downe the thistle.

١٠ 10 إِنَّكَ قَدْ ضَرَبْتَ أَدُومَ فَرَفَعَكَ قَلْبُكَ. تَمَجَّدْ وَأَقِمْ فِي بَيْتِكَ. وَلِمَاذَا تَهْجُمُ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِّ فَتَسْقُطَ أَنْتَ وَيَهُوذَا مَعَكَ؟».

Because thou hast smitten Edom, thine heart hath made thee proud: bragge of glory, and tary at home. why doest thou prouoke to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, and Iudah with thee?

١١ 11 فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَمَصْيَا، فَصَعِدَ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَتَرَاءَيَا مُواجَهَةً، هُوَ وَأَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا.

But Amaziah would not heare: therefore Iehoash King of Israel went vp: and he and Amaziah King of Iudah sawe one another in the face at Beth-shemesh which is in Iudah.

١٢ 12 فَٱنْهَزَمَ يَهُوذَا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهَرَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ.

And Iudah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fledde euery man to their tents.

١٣ 13 وَأَمَّا أَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا ٱبْنُ يَهُوآشَ بْنِ أَخَزْيَا فَأَمْسَكَهُ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَهَدَمَ سُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ، أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ ذِرَاعٍ.

But Iehoash King of Israel tooke Amaziah King of Iudah, the sonne of Iehoash the sonne of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Ierusalem, and brake downe the wall of Ierusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, foure hundreth cubites.

١٤ 14 وَأَخَذَ كُلَّ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلْآنِيَةِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلرُّهَنَاءَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ.

And he tooke all the gold and siluer, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the Kings house, and the children that were in hostage, and returned to Samaria.

١٥ 15 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَهُوآشَ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ وَكَيْفَ حَارَبَ أَمَصْيَا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Concerning the rest of the acts of Iehoash which he did and his valiant deedes, and how he fought with Amaziah King of Iudah, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يَهُوآشُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ مَعَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَلَكَ يَرُبْعَامُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Iehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried at Samaria among the Kings of Israel: and Ieroboam his sonne reigned in his stead.

١٧ 17 وَعَاشَ أَمَصْيَا بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ يَهُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوأَحَازَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

And Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah, liued after the death of Iehoash sonne of Iehoahaz King of Israel fifteene yeere.

١٨ 18 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَمَصْيَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

Concerning the rest of the actes of Amaziah, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?

١٩ 19 وَفَتَنُوا عَلَيْهِ فِتْنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَهَرَبَ إِلَى لَخِيشَ، فَأَرْسَلُوا وَرَاءَهُ إِلَى لَخِيشَ وَقَتَلُوهُ هُنَاكَ.

But they wrought treason against him in Ierusalem, and he fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish, and slewe him there.

٢٠ 20 وَحَمَلُوهُ عَلَى ٱلْخَيْلِ فَدُفِنَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ.

And they brought him on horses, and he was buried at Ierusalem with his fathers in the citie of Dauid.

٢١ 21 وَأَخَذَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا عَزَرْيَا، وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَمَلَّكُوهُ عِوَضًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَمَصْيَا.

Then all the people of Iudah tooke Azariah which was sixteene yeere olde, and made him King for his father Amaziah.

٢٢ 22 هُوَ بَنَى أَيْلَةَ وَٱسْتَرَدَّهَا لِيَهُوذَا بَعْدَ ٱضْطِجَاعِ ٱلْمَلِكِ مَعَ آبَائِهِ.

He built Elath, and restored it to Iudah, after that the King slept with his fathers.

٢٣ 23 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِأَمَصْيَا بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

In the fifteenth yeere of Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah, was Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash made King ouer Israel in Samaria, and reigned one and fourtie yeere.

٢٤ 24 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

And he did euill in the sight of the Lord: for he departed not from all the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne.

٢٥ 25 هُوَ رَدَّ تُخُمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ يُونَانَ بْنِ أَمِتَّايَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ جَتَّ حَافِرَ.

He restored the coast of Israel, from the entring of Hamath, vnto the Sea of the wildernesse, according to the worde of the Lord God of Israel, which he spake by his seruant Ionah the sonne of Amittai the Prophet, which was of Gath Hepher.

٢٦ 26 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ رَأَى ضِيقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُرًّا جِدًّا، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَحْجُوزٌ وَلَا مُطْلَقٌ وَلَيْسَ مُعِينٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ.

For the Lord saw the exceeding bitter affliction of Israel, so that there was none shutte vp, nor any left, neyther yet any that could helpe Israel.

٢٧ 27 وَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمِ ٱلرَّبُّ بِمَحْوِ ٱسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ بِيَدِ يَرُبْعَامَ ٱبْنِ يُوآشَ.

Yet the Lord had not decreed to put out the name of Israel from vnder the heauen: therefore he preserued them by the hand of Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash.

٢٨ 28 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ، كَيْفَ حَارَبَ وَكَيْفَ ٱسْتَرْجَعَ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ دِمَشْقَ وَحَمَاةَ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا، أَمَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Concerning the rest of the actes of Ieroboam, and all that he did, and his valiant deedes, and how he fought, and how he restored Damascus, and Hamath to Iudah in Israel, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

٢٩ 29 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يَرُبْعَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، مَعَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَلَكَ زَكَرِيَّا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

So Ieroboam slept with his fathers, euen with the Kings of Israel, and Zachariah his sonne reigned in his steade.
