اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 24

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

In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against 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 bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servants the prophets.

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

Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;

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

and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and the LORD would not pardon.

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

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

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

So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin 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 not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

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

Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jerusalem three months: and his mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan 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 had done.

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

At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

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

And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came unto the city, while his servants were besieging it;

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

and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: 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 carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.

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 all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.

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

And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he 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 the craftsmen and the smiths a thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

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

And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father’s brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

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

Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

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 Jehoiakim had done.

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

For through the anger of the LORD did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence: and Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
