2 Kings 14

1 In the second year of the reign of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, Amaziah son of Joash became king of Judah.

1 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِيُوآشَ بْنِ يُوأَحَازَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلَكَ أَمَصْيَا بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.

2 كَانَ ٱبْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَهُوعَدَّانُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father David had done. He did everything as his father Joash had done.

3 وَعَمِلَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، عَمِلَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ يُوآشُ أَبُوهُ.

4 Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away, and the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.

4 إِلَّا أَنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لَمْ تُنْتَزَعْ، بَلْ كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَزَالُونَ يَذْبَحُونَ وَيُوقِدُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ.

5 As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.

5 وَلَمَّا تَثَبَّتَتِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةُ بِيَدِهِ، قَتَلَ عَبِيدَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ أَبَاهُ.

6 Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death, but acted according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”

6 وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْتُلْ أَبْنَاءَ ٱلْقَاتِلِينَ حَسَبَ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي سِفْرِ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، حَيْثُ أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: «لَا يُقْتَلُ ٱلْآبَاءُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْبَنِينَ، وَٱلْبَنُونَ لَا يُقْتَلُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْآبَاءِ. إِنَّمَا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يُقْتَلُ بِخَطِيَّتِهِ».

7 Amaziah struck down 10,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He took Sela in battle and called it Joktheel, which is its name to this very day.

7 هُوَ قَتَلَ مِنْ أَدُومَ فِي وَادِي ٱلْمِلْحِ عَشْرَةَ آلَافٍ، وَأَخَذَ سَالِعَ بِٱلْحَرْبِ، وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهَا يَقْتَئِيلَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.

8 حِينَئِذٍ أَرْسَلَ أَمَصْيَا رُسُلًا إِلَى يَهُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوأَحَازَ بْنِ يَاهُو مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «هَلُمَّ نَتَرَاءَ مُواجَهَةً».

9 But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.

9 فَأَرْسَلَ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَمَصْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا: «اَلْعَوْسَجُ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْزِ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ يَقُولُ: أَعْطِ ٱبْنَتَكَ لِٱبْنِي ٱمْرَأَةً. فَعَبَرَ حَيَوَانٌ بَرِّيٌّ كَانَ فِي لُبْنَانَ وَدَاسَ ٱلْعَوْسَجَ.

10 You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart has become proud. Glory in that and stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”

10 إِنَّكَ قَدْ ضَرَبْتَ أَدُومَ فَرَفَعَكَ قَلْبُكَ. تَمَجَّدْ وَأَقِمْ فِي بَيْتِكَ. وَلِمَاذَا تَهْجُمُ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِّ فَتَسْقُطَ أَنْتَ وَيَهُوذَا مَعَكَ؟».

11 But Amaziah would not listen, so Jehoash king of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.

11 فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَمَصْيَا، فَصَعِدَ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَتَرَاءَيَا مُواجَهَةً، هُوَ وَأَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا.

12 And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his home.

12 فَٱنْهَزَمَ يَهُوذَا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهَرَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ.

13 There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.

13 وَأَمَّا أَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا ٱبْنُ يَهُوآشَ بْنِ أَخَزْيَا فَأَمْسَكَهُ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ، وَجَاءَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَهَدَمَ سُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ، أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ ذِرَاعٍ.

14 He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.

14 وَأَخَذَ كُلَّ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلْآنِيَةِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلرُّهَنَاءَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ.

15 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with his accomplishments, his might, and how he waged war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

15 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَهُوآشَ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ وَكَيْفَ حَارَبَ أَمَصْيَا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

16 And Jehoash rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And his son Jeroboam reigned in his place.

16 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يَهُوآشُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ مَعَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَلَكَ يَرُبْعَامُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

17 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.

17 وَعَاشَ أَمَصْيَا بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ يَهُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوأَحَازَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً.

18 As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

18 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَمَصْيَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

19 And conspirators plotted against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.

19 وَفَتَنُوا عَلَيْهِ فِتْنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَهَرَبَ إِلَى لَخِيشَ، فَأَرْسَلُوا وَرَاءَهُ إِلَى لَخِيشَ وَقَتَلُوهُ هُنَاكَ.

20 They carried him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.

20 وَحَمَلُوهُ عَلَى ٱلْخَيْلِ فَدُفِنَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ.

21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

21 وَأَخَذَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا عَزَرْيَا، وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَمَلَّكُوهُ عِوَضًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَمَصْيَا.

22 Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.

22 هُوَ بَنَى أَيْلَةَ وَٱسْتَرَدَّهَا لِيَهُوذَا بَعْدَ ٱضْطِجَاعِ ٱلْمَلِكِ مَعَ آبَائِهِ.

23 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah son of Joash over Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria forty-one years.

23 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةَ عَشْرَةَ لِأَمَصْيَا بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

24 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.

24 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

25 This Jeroboam restored the boundary of Israel from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word that the LORD, the God of Israel, had spoken through His servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher.

25 هُوَ رَدَّ تُخُمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبْدِهِ يُونَانَ بْنِ أَمِتَّايَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ جَتَّ حَافِرَ.

26 For the LORD saw that the affliction of the Israelites, both slave and free, was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel,

26 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ رَأَى ضِيقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُرًّا جِدًّا، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَحْجُوزٌ وَلَا مُطْلَقٌ وَلَيْسَ مُعِينٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ.

27 and since the LORD had said that He would not blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.

27 وَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمِ ٱلرَّبُّ بِمَحْوِ ٱسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ بِيَدِ يَرُبْعَامَ ٱبْنِ يُوآشَ.

28 As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, along with all his accomplishments and might, and how he waged war and recovered both Damascus and Hamath for Israel from Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

28 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ، كَيْفَ حَارَبَ وَكَيْفَ ٱسْتَرْجَعَ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ دِمَشْقَ وَحَمَاةَ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا، أَمَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

29 And Jeroboam rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And his son Zechariah reigned in his place.

29 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يَرُبْعَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، مَعَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَلَكَ زَكَرِيَّا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
