< اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 17 >

فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيةَ عَشْرَةَ لِآحَازَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ هُوشَعُ بْنُ أَيْلَةَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ تِسْعَ سِنِينَ. ١ 1
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel, and reigned nine years.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كَمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلَهُ. ٢ 2
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
وَصَعِدَ عَلَيْهِ شَلْمَنْأَسَرُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ، فَصَارَ لَهُ هُوشَعُ عَبْدًا وَدَفَعَ لَهُ جِزْيَةً. ٣ 3
Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him. And Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.
وَوَجَدَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ فِي هُوشَعَ خِيَانَةً، لِأَنَّهُ أَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا إِلَى سَوَا مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، وَلَمْ يُؤَدِّ جِزْيَةً إِلَى مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ سَنَةٍ، فَقَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَأَوْثَقَهُ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ. ٤ 4
And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
وَصَعِدَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَصَعِدَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَحَاصَرَهَا ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ. ٥ 5
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ لِهُوشَعَ أَخَذَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ ٱلسَّامِرَةَ، وَسَبَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَشُّورَ وَأَسْكَنَهُمْ فِي حَلَحَ وَخَابُورَ نَهْرِ جُوزَانَ وَفِي مُدُنِ مَادِي. ٦ 6
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
وَكَانَ أَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمِ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ تَحْتِ يَدِ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، وَٱتَّقَوْا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، ٧ 7
And it was so, because the sons of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
وَسَلَكُوا حَسَبَ فَرَائِضِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقَامُوهُمْ. ٨ 8
and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.
وَعَمِلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ سِرًّا ضِدَّ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ أُمُورًا لَيْسَتْ بِمُسْتَقِيمَةٍ، وَبَنَوْا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِهِمْ، مِنْ بُرْجِ ٱلنَّوَاطِيرِ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْمُحَصَّنَةِ. ٩ 9
And the sons of Israel did things secretly that were not right against Jehovah their God. And they built for them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
وَأَقَامُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ أَنْصَابًا وَسَوَارِيَ عَلَى كُلِّ تَلٍّ عَالٍ وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ. ١٠ 10
And they set up for them pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every green tree,
وَأَوْقَدُوا هُنَاكَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ مِثْلَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَاقَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ، وَعَمِلُوا أُمُورًا قَبِيحَةً لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١١ 11
and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as the nations did whom Jehovah carried away before them. And they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger.
وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْأَصْنَامَ ٱلَّتِي قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ عَنْهَا: «لَا تَعْمَلُوا هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ». ١٢ 12
And they served idols, of which Jehovah had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
وَأَشْهَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَلَى يَهُوذَا عَنْ يَدِ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَكُلِّ رَاءٍ قَائِلًا: «ٱرْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِكُمُ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ وَٱحْفَظُوا وَصَايَايَ، فَرَائِضِي، حَسَبَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُ بِهَا آبَاءَكُمْ، وَٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلْتُهَا إِلَيْكُمْ عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ». ١٣ 13
Yet Jehovah testified to Israel, and to Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بَلْ صَلَّبُوا أَقْفِيَتَهُمْ كَأَقْفِيَةِ آبَائِهِمِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ. ١٤ 14
Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but stiffened their neck, like the neck of their fathers who did not believe in Jehovah their God.
وَرَفَضُوا فَرَائِضَهُ وَعَهْدَهُ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ وَشَهَادَاتِهِ ٱلَّتِي شَهِدَ بِهَا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَسَارُوا وَرَاءَ ٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَصَارُوا بَاطِلًا وَرَاءَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُمُ، ٱلَّذِينَ أَمَرَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ لَا يَعْمَلُوا مِثْلَهُمْ. ١٥ 15
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them. And they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom Jehovah had charged them that they should not do like them.
وَتَرَكُوا جَمِيعَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ وَعَمِلُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَسْبُوكَاتٍ عِجْلَيْنِ، وَعَمِلُوا سَوَارِيَ، وَسَجَدُوا لِجَمِيعِ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلَ. ١٦ 16
And they forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made for them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
وَعَبَّرُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ فِي ٱلنَّارِ، وَعَرَفُوا عِرَافَةً وَتَفَاءَلُوا، وَبَاعُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِعَمَلِ ٱلشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِغَاظَتِهِ. ١٧ 17
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah to provoke him to anger.
فَغَضِبَ ٱلرَّبُّ جِدًّا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَحَّاهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا سِبْطُ يَهُوذَا وَحْدَهُ. ١٨ 18
Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight. There was none left but only the tribe of Judah.
وَيَهُوذَا أَيْضًا لَمْ يَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، بَلْ سَلَكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلُوهَا. ١٩ 19
Also Judah did not keep the commandments of Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
فَرَذَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ نَسْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَذَلَّهُمْ وَدَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِ نَاهِبِينَ حَتَّى طَرَحَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ، ٢٠ 20
And Jehovah rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
لِأَنَّهُ شَقَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ، فَمَلَّكُوا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنَ نَبَاطَ، فَأَبْعَدَ يَرُبْعَامُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَجَعَلَهُمْ يُخْطِئُونَ خَطِيَّةً عَظِيمَةً. ٢١ 21
For he tore Israel from the house of David. And they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following Jehovah, and made them sin a great sin.
وَسَلَكَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَمِيعِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ. لَمْ يَحِيدُوا عَنْهَا ٢٢ 22
And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did. They did not depart from them
حَتَّى نَحَّى ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ عَنْ يَدِ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، فَسُبِيَ إِسْرَائِيلُ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ إِلَى أَشُّورَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٢٣ 23
until Jehovah removed Israel out of his sight, as he spoke by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
وَأَتَى مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ بِقَوْمٍ مِنْ بَابِلَ وَكُوثَ وَعَوَّا وَحَمَاةَ وَسَفَرْوَايِمَ، وَأَسْكَنَهُمْ فِي مُدُنِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ عِوَضًا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَٱمْتَلَكُوا ٱلسَّامِرَةَ وَسَكَنُوا فِي مُدُنِهَا. ٢٤ 24
And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the sons of Israel. And they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities of it.
وَكَانَ فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ سَكَنِهِمْ هُنَاكَ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلسِّبَاعَ فَكَانَتْ تَقْتُلُ مِنْهُمْ. ٢٥ 25
And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they were not afraid of Jehovah. Therefore Jehovah sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
فَكَلَّمُوا مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ ٱلْأُمَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَيْتَهُمْ وَأَسْكَنْتَهُمْ فِي مُدُنِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، لَا يَعْرِفُونَ قَضَاءَ إِلَهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلسِّبَاعَ فَهِيَ تَقْتُلُهُمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ قَضَاءَ إِلَهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». ٢٦ 26
Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou have carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria know not the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and, behold, they kill them, because they do not know the law of the god of the land.
فَأَمَرَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ قَائِلًا: «ٱبْعَثُوا إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَاحِدًا مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَيْتُمُوهُمْ مِنْ هُنَاكَ فَيَذْهَبَ وَيَسْكُنَ هُنَاكَ، وَيُعَلِّمَهُمْ قَضَاءَ إِلَهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». ٢٧ 27
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry there one of the priests whom ye brought from there, and let them go and dwell there. And let him teach them the law of the god of the land.
فَأَتَى وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَسَكَنَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَعَلَّمَهُمْ كَيْفَ يَتَّقُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ. ٢٨ 28
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Jehovah.
فَكَانَتْ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ تَعْمَلُ آلِهَتَهَا وَوَضَعُوهَا فِي بُيُوتِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا ٱلسَّامِرِيُّونَ، كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ فِي مُدُنِهَا ٱلَّتِي سَكَنَتْ فِيهَا. ٢٩ 29
However every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
فَعَمِلَ أَهْلُ بَابِلَ سُكُّوثَ بَنُوثَ، وَأَهْلُ كُوثَ عَمِلُوا نَرْجَلَ، وَأَهْلُ حَمَاةَ عَمِلُوا أَشِيمَا، ٣٠ 30
And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
وَٱلْعُوِّيُّونَ عَمِلُوا نِبْحَزَ وَتَرْتَاقَ، وَٱلسَّفَرْوَايِمِيُّونَ كَانُوا يُحْرِقُونَ بَنِيهِمْ بِٱلنَّارِ لِأَدْرَمَّلَكَ وَعَنَمَّلَكَ إِلَهَيْ سَفَرْوَايِمَ. ٣١ 31
and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak. And the Sepharvites burnt their sons in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
فَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَيَعْمَلُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ أَطْرَافِهِمْ كَهَنَةَ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ، كَانُوا يُقَرِّبُونَ لِأَجْلِهِمْ فِي بُيُوتِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ. ٣٢ 32
So they were afraid of Jehovah, and made for them priests of the high places from among themselves, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
كَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ وَيَعْبُدُونَ آلِهتَهُمْ كَعَادَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ ٣٣ 33
They were afraid of Jehovah, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ يَعْمَلُونَ كَعَادَاتِهِمِ ٱلْأُوَلِ. لَا يَتَّقُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ وَلَا يَعْمَلُونَ حَسَبَ فَرَائِضِهِمْ وَعَوَائِدِهِمْ وَلَا حَسَبَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ وَٱلْوَصِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ، ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱسْمَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٣٤ 34
To this day they do after the former manner. They do not fear Jehovah, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which Jehovah commanded the sons of Jacob, whom he named Israel,
وَقَطَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدًا وَأَمَرَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَتَّقُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، وَلَا تَسْجُدُوا لَهَا وَلَا تَعْبُدُوهَا وَلَا تَذْبَحُوا لَهَا. ٣٥ 35
with whom Jehovah had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them.
بَلْ إِنَّمَا ٱتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِقُوَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ، وَلَهُ ٱسْجُدُوا، وَلَهُ ٱذْبَحُوا. ٣٦ 36
But Jehovah, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, him ye shall fear, and to him ye shall bow yourselves, and to him ye shall sacrifice.
وَٱحْفَظُوا ٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَٱلْأَحْكَامَ وَٱلشَّرِيعَةَ وَٱلْوَصِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي كَتَبَهَا لَكُمْ لِتَعْمَلُوا بِهَا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، وَلَا تَتَّقُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى. ٣٧ 37
And the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore. And ye shall not fear other gods.
وَلَا تَنْسَوْا ٱلْعَهْدَ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ مَعَكُمْ، وَلَا تَتَّقُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى. ٣٨ 38
And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget. Neither shall ye fear other gods,
بَلْ إِنَّمَا ٱتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَهُوَ يُنْقِذُكُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ». ٣٩ 39
but ye shall ye fear Jehovah your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بَلْ عَمِلُوا حَسَبَ عَادَتِهِمِ ٱلْأُولَى. ٤٠ 40
However they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
فَكَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمُ يَتَّقُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَيَعْبُدُونَ تَمَاثِيلَهُمْ، وَأَيْضًا بَنُوهُمْ وَبَنُو بَنِيهِمْ. فَكَمَا عَمِلَ آبَاؤُهُمْ هَكَذَا هُمْ عَامِلُونَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٤١ 41
So these nations were afraid of Jehovah, and served their graven images, their sons likewise, and their son's sons, as did their fathers, so do they to this day.
