اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 21
| كَانَ مَنَسَّى ٱبْنَ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ خَمْسًا وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَفْصِيبَةُ. | ١ 1 |
Manasseh was twelve when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-five years. His mother's name was Hephzibah.
| وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ رَجَاسَاتِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢ 2 |
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight by following the disgusting pagan practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
| وَعَادَ فَبَنَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَبَادَهَا حَزَقِيَّا أَبُوهُ، وَأَقَامَ مَذَابِحَ لِلْبَعْلِ، وَعَمِلَ سَارِيَةً كَمَا عَمِلَ أَخْآبُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَسَجَدَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَبَدَهَا. | ٣ 3 |
He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he erected altars for Baal. He made an Asherah idol pole, just as Ahab, king of Israel, had done, and he worshiped and served the sun, moon, and stars.
| وَبَنَى مَذَابِحَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْهُ: «فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَضَعُ ٱسْمِي». | ٤ 4 |
He set up pagan altars in the Lord's Temple, right where the Lord had said, “I will place my name in Jerusalem forever.”
| وَبَنَى مَذَابِحَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فِي دَارَيْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
He set up altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
| وَعَبَّرَ ٱبْنَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ، وَعَافَ وَتَفَاءَلَ وَٱسْتَخْدَمَ جَانًّا وَتَوَابِعَ، وَأَكْثَرَ عَمَلَ ٱلشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِغَاظَتِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
He even he sacrificed his own son as a burnt offering, and used fortune-telling and witchcraft, and he dealt with mediums and with spiritists. He did a great deal of evil in the Lord's sight, making the Lord angry.
| وَوَضَعَ تِمْثَالَ ٱلسَّارِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ، فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْهُ لِدَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِهِ: «فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَضَعُ ٱسْمِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٧ 7 |
He took the Asherah idol pole he had made and placed in the Temple. This was the place referred to by the Lord when he told David and Solomon, his son, “In this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
| وَلَا أَعُودُ أُزَحْزِحُ رِجْلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ لِآبَائِهِمْ، وَذَلِكَ إِذَا حَفِظُوا وَعَمِلُوا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ، وَكُلَّ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَهُمْ بِهَا عَبْدِي مُوسَى». | ٨ 8 |
I will never again make the Israelites wander from the land I gave their forefathers if they are careful to follow everything I have ordered them to do—the whole law that my servant Moses gave them.”
| فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، بَلْ أَضَلَّهُمْ مَنَسَّى لِيَعْمَلُوا مَا هُوَ أَقْبَحُ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٩ 9 |
The people refused to listen and Manasseh led them to sin so that the evil they did was even worse than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.
| وَتَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَائِلًا: | ١٠ 10 |
The Lord said through his servants the prophets:
| «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ مَنَسَّى مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا قَدْ عَمِلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْجَاسَ، وَأَسَاءَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ ٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ، وَجَعَلَ أَيْضًا يَهُوذَا يُخْطِئُ بِأَصْنَامِهِ، | ١١ 11 |
“Since Manasseh, king of Judah, has committed all these disgusting sins, doing even more evil things than the Amorites who lived before him, and by his encouragement of idol worship has made Judah sin,
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرًّا عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا حَتَّى أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ بِهِ تَطِنُّ أُذُنَاهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Watch out! I am going to bring down upon Jerusalem and Judah such a disaster that it will cause ringing in the ears of everyone who hears it.
| وَأَمُدُّ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ خَيْطَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَمِطْمَارَ بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ، وَأَمْسَحُ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَمَا يَمْسَحُ وَاحِدٌ ٱلصَّحْنَ. يَمْسَحُهُ وَيَقْلِبُهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
I will extend over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab, and I will wipe away Jerusalem as people wipe clean a bowl, wiping it and turning it upside down.
| وَأَرْفُضُ بَقِيَّةَ مِيرَاثِي، وَأَدْفَعُهُمْ إِلَى أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِهِمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ غَنِيمَةً وَنَهْبًا لِجَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ، | ١٤ 14 |
I will give up on the remnant of my special people and hand them over to their enemies. They will be plunder and loot to all their enemies,
| لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَصَارُوا يُغِيظُونَنِي مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ خَرَجَ آبَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ». | ١٥ 15 |
because they have done what is evil in my sight, and have made me angry from the day their fathers left Egypt until today.”
| وَسَفَكَ أَيْضًا مَنَسَّى دَمًا بَرِيًّا كَثِيرًا جِدًّا حَتَّى مَلَأَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنَ ٱلْجَانِبِ إِلَى ٱلْجَانِبِ، فَضْلًا عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي بِهَا جَعَلَ يَهُوذَا يُخْطِئُ بِعَمَلِ ٱلشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٦ 16 |
On top of that, Manasseh murdered so many innocent people that Jerusalem was filled from one side to the other with their blood. This was in addition to the sin that he had made Judah commit, doing evil in the Lord's sight.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ مَنَسَّى وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، وَخَطِيَّتُهُ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَ بِهَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ | ١٧ 17 |
The rest of what happened in Manasseh's reign, all he did, as well as the sins he committed, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
| ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ مَنَسَّى مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ فِي بُسْتَانِ بَيْتِهِ فِي بُسْتَانِ عُزَّا، وَمَلَكَ آمُونُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ١٨ 18 |
Manasseh died, and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. His son Amon succeeded him as king.
| كَانَ آمُونُ ٱبْنَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَنَتَيْنِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَشُلَّمَةُ بِنْتُ حَارُوصَ مِنْ يَطْبَةَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Amon was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for two years. His mother's name was Meshullemeth, daughter of Haruz. She came from Jotbah.
| وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا عَمِلَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father Manasseh had done.
| وَسَلَكَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي سَلَكَ فِيهِ أَبُوهُ، وَعَبَدَ ٱلْأَصْنَامَ ٱلَّتِي عَبَدَهَا أَبُوهُ وَسَجَدَ لَهَا. | ٢١ 21 |
He followed all the ways of his father, and he served the idols his father had served, bowing down in worship to them.
| وَتَرَكَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْلُكْ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He rejected the Lord, the God of his forefathers, and did not follow the way of the Lord.
| وَفَتَنَ عَبِيدُ آمُونَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَتَلُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ فِي بَيْتِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Amon's officials plotted against him and murdered him in his royal palace.
| فَضَرَبَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعَ ٱلْفَاتِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ آمُونَ، وَمَلَّكَ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ يُوشِيَّا ٱبْنَهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
But then the people of the land killed everyone who had plotted against King Amon, and they chose his son Josiah king to succeed him.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ آمُونَ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
The rest of what happened in Amon's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
| وَدُفِنَ فِي قَبْرِهِ فِي بُسْتَانِ عُزَّا، وَمَلَكَ يُوشِيَّا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah succeeded him as king.
