٢ أخبار 28
| كَانَ آحَازُ ٱبْنَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلَمْ يَفْعَلِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، | ١ 1 |
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, as David his ancestor had done.
| بَلْ سَارَ فِي طُرُقِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَعَمِلَ أَيْضًا تَمَاثِيلَ مَسْبُوكَةً لِلْبَعْلِيمِ. | ٢ 2 |
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; he also made cast metal figures for the Baals.
| وَهُوَ أَوْقَدَ فِي وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ وَأَحْرَقَ بَنِيهِ بِٱلنَّارِ حَسَبَ رَجَاسَاتِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣ 3 |
In addition, he burned incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom and he caused his children to pass through the fire, according to the idolatrous practices of the people that Yahweh forced out of their land before the people of Israel.
| وَذَبَحَ وَأَوْقَدَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَعَلَى ٱلتِّلَالِ وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ. | ٤ 4 |
He sacrificed and burned incense at the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
| فَدَفَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُ لِيَدِ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ، فَضَرَبُوهُ وَسَبَوْا مِنْهُ سَبْيًا عَظِيمًا وَأَتَوْا بِهِمْ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ. وَدُفِعَ أَيْضًا لِيَدِ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً. | ٥ 5 |
Therefore Yahweh the God of Ahaz gave him into the hand of the king of Aram. The Arameans defeated him and carried away from him a great crowd of prisoners, bringing them to Damascus. Ahaz was also given into the hand of the king of Israel who defeated him in a great slaughter.
| وَقَتَلَ فَقَحُ بْنُ رَمَلْيَا فِي يَهُوذَا مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ، ٱلْجَمِيعُ بَنُو بَأْسٍ، لِأَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
For Pekah son of Remaliah in one day killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah and all of them were powerful men, because they had forsaken Yahweh the God of their ancestors.
| وَقَتَلَ زِكْرِي جَبَّارُ أَفْرَايِمَ مَعَسِيَا ٱبْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَعَزْرِيقَامَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَأَلْقَانَةَ ثَانِيَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٧ 7 |
Zicri, a powerful man from Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, Azrikam, the official over the palace, and Elkanah, who was next to the king.
| وَسَبَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِمْ مِئَتَيْ أَلْفٍ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱلْبَنَاتِ، وَنَهَبُوا أَيْضًا مِنْهُمْ غَنِيمَةً وَافِرَةً وَأَتَوْا بِٱلْغَنِيمَةِ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ٨ 8 |
The army of Israel took captive from their relatives 200,000 wives, sons, and daughters. They also took much plunder, which they carried back to Samaria.
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ نَبِيٌّ لِلرَّبِّ ٱسْمُهُ عُودِيدُ، فَخَرَجَ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْجَيْشِ ٱلْآتِي إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هُوَذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِكُمْ عَلَى يَهُوذَا قَدْ دَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِكُمْ وَقَدْ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ بِغَضَبٍ بَلَغَ ٱلسَّمَاءَ. | ٩ 9 |
But a prophet of Yahweh was there, his name was Oded. He went out to meet the army coming into Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, was angry with Judah, he gave them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reached up to heaven.
| وَٱلْآنَ أَنْتُمْ عَازِمُونَ عَلَى إِخْضَاعِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ عَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً لَكُمْ. أَمَا عِنْدَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ آثَامٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Now you intend to keep the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem as your slaves. But are you not guilty of sins of your own against Yahweh your God?
| وَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعُوا لِي وَرُدُّوا ٱلسَّبْيَ ٱلَّذِي سَبَيْتُمُوهُ مِنْ إِخْوَتِكُمْ لِأَنَّ حُمُوَّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ». | ١١ 11 |
Now then, listen to me: Send the prisoners back, those whom you have taken of your own brothers, for Yahweh's fierce wrath is on you.”
| ثُمَّ قَامَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ رُؤُوسِ بَنِي أَفْرَايِمَ: عَزَرْيَا بْنُ يَهُوحَانَانَ، وَبَرَخْيَا بْنُ مَشُلِّيمُوتَ، وَيَحَزْقِيَا بْنُ شَلُّومَ، وَعَمَاسَا بْنُ حِدْلَايَ عَلَى ٱلْمُقْبِلِينَ مِنَ ٱلْجَيْشِ، | ١٢ 12 |
Then certain leaders of the people of Ephraim—Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came back from the war.
| وَقَالُوا لَهُمْ: «لَا تَدْخُلُونَ بِٱلسَّبْيِ إِلَى هُنَا لِأَنَّ عَلَيْنَا إِثْمًا لِلرَّبِّ، وَأَنْتُمْ عَازِمُونَ أَنْ تَزِيدُوا عَلَى خَطَايَانَا وَعَلَى إِثْمِنَا، لِأَنَّ لَنَا إِثْمًا كَثِيرًا، وَعَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ حُمُوُّ غَضَبٍ». | ١٣ 13 |
They said to them, “You must not bring the prisoners here, for you intend something that will bring on us sin against Yahweh, to add to our sins and trespasses, for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
| فَتَرَكَ ٱلْمُتَجَرِّدُونَ ٱلسَّبْيَ وَٱلنَّهْبَ أَمَامَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَكُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
So the armed men left the prisoners and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.
| وَقَامَ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْمُعَيَّنَةُ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ وَأَلْبَسُوا كُلَّ عُرَاتِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ، وَكَسَوْهُمْ وَحَذَوْهُمْ وَأَطْعَمُوهُمْ وَأَسْقَوْهُمْ وَدَهَّنُوهُمْ، وَحَمَلُوا عَلَى حَمِيرٍ جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُعْيِينَ مِنْهُمْ، وَأَتَوْا بِهِمْ إِلَى أَرِيحَا، مَدِينَةِ ٱلنَّخْلِ، إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِمْ. ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ١٥ 15 |
The men who were assigned by name got up and took the prisoners, and clothed all who were naked among them with the plunder. They clothed them and gave them sandals. They gave them food to eat and drink. They treated their wounds and put the weak ones on donkeys. They took them back to their families in Jericho, (called the City of Palms). Then they returned to Samaria.
| فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ إِلَى مُلُوكِ أَشُّورَ لِكَيْ يُسَاعِدُوهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
At that time King Ahaz sent messengers to the kings of Assyria to ask them to help him.
| فَإِنَّ ٱلْأَدُومِيِّينَ أَتَوْا أَيْضًا وَضَرَبُوا يَهُوذَا وَسَبَوْا سَبْيًا. | ١٧ 17 |
For once again the Edomites had come and attacked Judah, carrying prisoners away.
| وَٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ مُدُنَ ٱلسَّوَاحِلِ وَجَنُوبِيَّ يَهُوذَا، وَأَخَذُوا بَيْتَ شَمْسٍ وَأَيَّلُونَ وَجَدِيرُوتَ وَسُوكُو وَقُرَاهَا، وَتِمْنَةَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَحِمْزُو وَقُرَاهَا، وَسَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
The Philistines also invaded the cities of the lowlands and of the Negev of Judah. They took Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soko with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo with its villages. They went to live in those places.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ذَلَّلَ يَهُوذَا بِسَبَبِ آحَازَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّهُ أَجْمَحَ يَهُوذَا وَخَانَ ٱلرَّبَّ خِيَانَةً. | ١٩ 19 |
For Yahweh brought Judah low because of Ahaz, king of Israel; for he had acted wickedly in Judah and had sinned against Yahweh very heavily.
| فَجَاءَ عَلَيْهِ تَغْلَثُ فِلْنَاسِرُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَضَايَقَهُ وَلَمْ يُشَدِّدْهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria, came to him and troubled him instead of strengthening him.
| لِأَنَّ آحَازَ أَخَذَ قِسْمًا مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَمِنَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَأَعْطَاهُ لِمَلِكِ أَشُّورَ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يُسَاعِدْهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
For Ahaz plundered the house of Yahweh and the houses of the king and the leaders, to give the valuable things to the kings of Assyria. But doing this did not benefit him.
| وَفِي ضِيقِهِ زَادَ خِيَانَةً بالرَّبِّ ٱلْمَلِكُ آحَازُ هَذَا، | ٢٢ 22 |
This same King Ahaz sinned even more against Yahweh in his time of suffering.
| وَذَبَحَ لِآلِهَةِ دِمَشْقَ ٱلَّذِينَ ضَارَبُوهُ وَقَالَ: «لِأَنَّ آلِهَةَ مُلُوكِ أَرَامَ تُسَاعِدُهُمْ أَنَا أَذْبَحُ لَهُمْ فَيُسَاعِدُونَنِي». وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَكَانُوا سَبَبَ سُقُوطٍ لَهُ وَلِكُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, gods that had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them, so that they might help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
| وَجَمَعَ آحَازُ آنِيَةَ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ وَقَطَّعَ آنِيَةَ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ وَأَغْلَقَ أَبْوَابَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَعَمِلَ لِنَفْسِهِ مَذَابِحَ فِي كُلِّ زَاوِيَةٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Ahaz gathered together the furnishings of the house of God and cut them to pieces. He shut the doors of the house of Yahweh and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
| وَفِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ فَمَدِينَةٍ مِنْ يَهُوذَا عَمِلَ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ لِلْإِيقَادِ لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، وَأَسْخَطَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
In every city of Judah he made high places to burn sacrifices to other gods. He provoked Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, to anger.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِهِ وَكُلُّ طُرُقِهِ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْأَخِيرَةُ، هَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Now the rest of his deeds, and all his ways, first and last, see, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
| ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ آحَازُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِهِ إِلَى قُبُورِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَمَلَكَ حَزَقِيَّا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Ahaz slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, but they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. Hezekiah, his son, became king in his place.
