اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 24

١ 1 فِي أَيَّامِهِ صَعِدَ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، فَكَانَ لَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ عَبْدًا ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ. ثُمَّ عَادَ فَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَيْهِ.

In his days went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and Joakim became his servant three years; and [then] he turned and revolted from him.

٢ 2 فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ غُزَاةَ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَغُزَاةَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ، وَغُزَاةَ ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ، وَغُزَاةَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ عَلَى يَهُوذَا لِيُبِيدَهَا حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ.

And the lord sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of Syria, and the bans of Moab, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them into the land of Juda to prevail [against it], according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.

٣ 3 إِنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى يَهُوذَا لِيَنْزِعَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ لِأَجْلِ خَطَايَا مَنَسَّى حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ.

Moreover it was the purpose of the Lord concerning Juda, to remove them from his presence, because of the sins of Manasses, according to all that he did.

٤ 4 وَكَذَلِكَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلْبَرِيءِ ٱلَّذِي سَفَكَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ مَلَأَ أُورُشَلِيمَ دَمًا بَرِيئًا، وَلَمْ يَشَإِ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ.

Moreover he shed innocent blood, and filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon [it].

٥ 5 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

٦ 6 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَمَلَكَ يَهُويَاكِينُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Joakim slept with his fathers: and Joachim his son reigned in his stead.

٧ 7 وَلَمْ يَعُدْ أَيْضًا مَلِكُ مِصْرَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ، لِأَنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ أَخَذَ مِنْ نَهْرِ مِصْرَ إِلَى نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لِمَلِكِ مِصْرَ.

And the king of Egypt came no more out of his land: for the king of Babylon took away all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.

٨ 8 كَانَ يَهُويَاكِينُ ٱبْنَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ نَحُوشْتَا بِنْتُ أَلِنَاثَانَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Eighteen years old [was] Joachim when he began to reign, an he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Nestha, daughter of Ellanastham, of Jerusalem.

٩ 9 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ أَبُوهُ.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father did.

١٠ 10 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ صَعِدَ عَبِيدُ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ تَحْتَ ٱلْحِصَارِ.

At that time went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

١١ 11 وَجَاءَ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَانَ عَبِيدُهُ يُحَاصِرُونَهَا.

And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants besieged it.

١٢ 12 فَخَرَجَ يَهُويَاكِينُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، هُوَ وَأُمُّهُ وَعَبِيدُهُ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُ وَخِصْيَانُهُ، وَأَخَذَهُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِهِ.

And Joachim king of Juda came forth to the king of Babylon, he and his servants, and his mother, and his princes, and his eunuchs; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

١٣ 13 وَأَخْرَجَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ جَمِيعَ خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَخَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكَسَّرَ كُلَّ آنِيَةِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And he brought forth thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and he cut up all the golden vessels which Solomon the king of Israel [had] made in the temple of the Lord, according to the word of the Lord.

١٤ 14 وَسَبَى كُلَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَكُلَّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَجَمِيعَ جَبَابِرَةِ ٱلْبَأْسِ، عَشْرَةَ آلَافِ مَسْبِيٍّ، وَجَمِيعَ ٱلصُّنَّاعِ وَٱلْأَقْيَانِ. لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا مَسَاكِينُ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And he carried away [the inhabitants of] Jerusalem, and all the captains, and the mighty men, taking captive ten thousand prisoners, and every artificer and smith: and only the poor of the land were left.

١٥ 15 وَسَبَى يَهُويَاكِينَ إِلَى بَابِلَ. وَأُمَّ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَنِسَاءَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَخِصْيَانَهُ وَأَقْوِيَاءَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، سَبَاهُمْ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَابِلَ.

And he carried Joachim away to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his eunuchs: and he carried away the mighty men of the land into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

١٦ 16 وَجَمِيعُ أَصْحَابِ ٱلْبَأْسِ، سَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ، وَٱلصُّنَّاعُ وَٱلْأَقْيَانُ أَلْفٌ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْأَبْطَالِ أَهْلِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، سَبَاهُمْ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ إِلَى بَابِلَ.

And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and one thousand artificers and smiths: all [were] mighty [men] fit for war; and the king of Babylon carried them captive to Babylon.

١٧ 17 وَمَلَّكَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ مَتَّنِيَّا عَمَّهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ، وَغَيَّرَ ٱسْمَهُ إِلَى صِدْقِيَّا.

And the king of Babylon made Batthanias his son king in his stead, and called his name Sedekias.

١٨ 18 كَانَ صِدْقِيَّا ٱبْنَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَمِّيطَلُ بِنْتُ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ لِبْنَةَ.

Twenty and one years old [was] Sedekias when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital daughter of Jeremias.

١٩ 19 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Joachim did.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنَّهُ لِأَجْلِ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى يَهُوذَا حَتَّى طَرَحَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِهِ، كَانَ أَنَّ صِدْقِيَّا تَمَرَّدَ عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.

For it was according to the Lord's anger against Jerusalem and on Juda, until he cast them out of his presence, that Sedekias revolted against the king of Babylon.
