2 Kings 15

1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah became king of Judah.

1 وَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَوَلَّى عَزَرْيَا بْنُ أَمَصْيَا عَرْشَ يَهُوذَا.

2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.

2 وَكَانَ عُمْرُهُ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَكُلْيَا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.

3 وَصَنَعَ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ أَبِيهِ أَمَصْيَا،

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

4 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَهْدِمِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ. وَظَلَّ الشَّعْبُ يُقَرِّبُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَيُوْقِدُونَ.

5 And the LORD afflicted the king with leprosy until the day he died, so that he lived in a separate house while his son Jotham had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.

5 وَابْتَلَى الرَّبُّ عَزَرْيَا بِدَاءِ الْبَرَصِ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ، مِمَّا أَرْغَمَهُ عَلَى الإِقَامَةِ فِي بَيْتٍ مُنْعَزِلٍ، فَتَوَلَّى ابْنُهُ يُوثَامُ حُكْمَ الشَّعْبِ بِالنِّيَابَةِ عَنْهُ.

6 As for the rest of the acts of Azariah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

6 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ عَزَرْيَا وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِي مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَاِر أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

7 And Azariah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in the City of David. And his son Jotham reigned in his place.

7 ثُمَّ مَاتَ عَزَرْيَا وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ يُوثَامُ.

8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria six months.

8 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ والثَّلاثِينَ لِحُكْمِ عَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ مُدَّةَ سِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ.

9 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.

9 وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ أَبَائِهِ وَلَمْ يَعْدِلْ عَنْ أَيٍّ مِنْ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّتِي اسْتَغْوَى بِها الإِسْرَائِيِليِّينَ فَأَخْطَأُوا.

10 Then Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah, struck him down and killed him in front of the people, and reigned in his place.

10 وَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَيْهِ شَلُّومُ بْنُ يَابِيشَ وَاغْتَالَهُ أَمَامَ الشَّعْبِ وَاغْتَصَبَ مِنْهُ الْمُلْكَ.

11 As for the rest of the acts of Zechariah, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

11 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ زَكَرِيَّا فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

12 So the word of the LORD spoken to Jehu was fulfilled: “Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.”

12 وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ تَحْقِيقاً لِكَلامِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ يَاهُو قَائِلاً: «إِنَّ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ حَتَّى الْجِيلِ الرَّابِعِ يَكُونُونَ مُلُوكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ».

13 In the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah’s reign over Judah, Shallum son of Jabesh became king, and he reigned in Samaria one full month.

13 وَمَلَكَ شَلُّومُ بْنُ يَابِيشَ فِي السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ عُزِّيَّا (عَزَرْيَا) مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ مُدَّةَ شَهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فِي السَّامِرَةِ.

14 Then Menahem son of Gadi went up from Tirzah to Samaria, struck down and killed Shallum son of Jabesh, and reigned in his place.

14 وَذَهَبَ مَنَحِيمُ بْنُ جَادِي مِنْ تِرْصَةَ إِلَى السَّامِرَةِ وَاغْتَالَ شَلُّومَ بْنَ يَابِيشَ، وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْمَمْلَكَةِ.

15 As for the rest of the acts of Shallum, along with the conspiracy he led, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

15 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ شَلُّومَ وَتَمَرُّدُهُ فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

16 At that time Menahem, starting from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah and everyone in its vicinity, because they would not open their gates. So he attacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.

16 بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ هَاجَمَ مَنَحِيمُ تَفْصَحَ وَضَوَاحِيهَا، وَهَدَمَ مَا فِيهَا حَتَّى حُدُودِ تِرْصَةَ لأَنَّ أَهْلَهَا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَفْتَحُوا بَوَّابَاتِهَا لَهُ، وَشَقَّ بُطُونَ جَمِيعِ حَوَامِلِهَا.

17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Menahem son of Gadi became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria ten years.

17 وَفِي السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ لِحُكْمِ عَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى مَنَحِيمُ بْنُ جَادِي عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ لِمُدَّةِ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ،

18 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and throughout his reign he did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.

18 وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّتِي اسْتَغْوَى بِها الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ فَأَخْطَأُوا طَوَالَ أَيَّامِهِ.

19 Then Pul king of Assyria invaded the land, and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver in order to gain his support and strengthen his own grip on the kingdom.

19 وَأَغَارَ فُولُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ عَلَى الْبِلادِ، فَاسْتَرْضَاهُ مَنَحِيمُ بِأَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوِ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ لِيُوآزِرَهُ فِي تَثْبِيتِهِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

20 Menahem exacted this money from each of the wealthy men of Israel—fifty shekels of silver from each man—to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew and did not remain in the land.

20 وَجَبَى مَنَحِيمُ خَمْسِينَ شَاقِلَ (نَحْوَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ جِرَاماً) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَثْرِيَاءِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ لِيَدْفَعَهَا لِمَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَرَجَعَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَلَمْ يَحْتَلَّ الأَرْضَ.

21 As for the rest of the acts of Menahem, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

21 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ مَنَحِيمَ وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

22 And Menahem rested with his fathers, and his son Pekahiah reigned in his place.

22 ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَنَحِيمُ وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ فَقَحْيَا عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.

23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Pekahiah son of Menahem became king of Israel and reigned in Samaria two years.

23 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الْخَمْسِينَ لِحُكْمِ عَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى فَقَحْيَا بْنُ مَنَحِيمَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُدَّةِ سَنَتَيْنِ،

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

24 وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّتِي اسْتَغْوَى بِها الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ،

25 Then his officer, Pekah son of Remaliah, conspired against him along with Argob, Arieh, and fifty men of Gilead. And at the citadel of the king’s palace in Samaria, Pekah struck down and killed Pekahiah and reigned in his place.

25 فَثَارَ عَلَيْهِ فَقْحُ بْنُ رَمَلْيَا، أَحَدُ قُوَّادِهِ مَعَ خَمْسِينَ جُنْدِيًّا مِنَ الْجِلْعَادِيِّينَ، وَاغْتَالَهُ فِي السَّامِرَةِ فِي عُقْرِ قَصْرِهِ، كَمَا اغْتَالَ مَعَهُ أَرْجُوبَ وَأَرْيَةَ، وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.

26 As for the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, along with all his accomplishments, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

26 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَعْمَالِ فَقَحْيَا وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ، فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twenty years.

27 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَالْخَمْسِينَ لِحُكْمِ عَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى فَقْحُ بْنُ رَمَلْيَا عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ لِمُدَّةِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

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

28 وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّتِي اسْتَغْوَى بِها الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ فَأَخْطَأَوا.

29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, including all the land of Naphtali, and he took the people as captives to Assyria.

29 وَفِي أَيَّامِهِ هَاجَمَ تَغْلَثْ فَلاسِرُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ الْبِلادَ، وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى مُدُنِ عُيُونَ، وَآبَلَ بَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ، وَيَانُوحَ، وَقَادَشَ، وَحَاصُورَ، وَجِلْعَادَ وَالْجَلِيلِ، وَكُلِّ أَرْضِ نَفْتَالِي وَسَبَى أَهْلَهَا إِلَى أَشُّورَ.

30 Then Hoshea son of Elah led a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah. In the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah, Hoshea attacked Pekah, killed him, and reigned in his place.

30 ثُمَّ تَمَرَّدَ هُوشَعُ بْنُ أَيْلَةَ عَلَى فَقْحَ بْنِ رَمَلْيَا وَاغْتَالَهُ، وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ فِي السَّنَةِ الْعِشْرِينَ لِيُوثَامَ بْنِ عُزِّيَّا (عَزَرْيَا).

31 As for the rest of the acts of Pekah, along with all his accomplishments, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

31 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ فَقْحَ فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

32 In the second year of the reign of Pekah son of Remaliah over Israel, Jotham son of Uzziah became king of Judah.

32 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ فَقْحَ بْنِ رَمَلْيَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، اعْتَلَى يُوثَامُ بْنُ عُزِّيَّا عَرْشَ يَهُوذَا،

33 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok.

33 وَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَرُوشَا ابْنَةُ صَادُوقَ.

34 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done.

34 وَصَنَعَ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، سَالِكاً فِي نَهْجِ أَبِيهِ عُزِّيَّا.

35 Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD.

35 وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَهْدِمِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، وَظَلَّ الشَّعْبُ يُقَرِّبُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَيُوْقِدُونَ. وَهُوَ الَّذِي بَنَى الْبَابَ الأَعْلَى لِهَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.

36 As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

36 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ يُوثَامَ وَمُنْجَزَاتُهُ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

37 (In those days the LORD began to send Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah.)

37 وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ شَرَعَ الرَّبُّ يُرْسِلُ عَلَى يَهُوذَا رَصِينَ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ وَفَقْحَ بْنَ رَمَلْيَا.

38 And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David his father. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.

38 وَمَاتَ يُوثَامُ وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ أَبِيهِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ آحَازُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.
