2 Kings 15

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

1 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِيَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلَكَ عَزَرْيَا بْنُ أَمَصْيَا مَلِكِ 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 كَانَ ٱبْنَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ 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 وَعَمِلَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ أَمَصْيَا أَبُوهُ،

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

4 وَلَكِنِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ لَمْ تُنْتَزَعْ، بَلْ كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَزَالُونَ يَذْبَحُونَ وَيُوقِدُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ.

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 وَضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَلِكَ فَكَانَ أَبْرَصَ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ، وَأَقَامَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْمَرَضِ، وَكَانَ يُوثَامُ ٱبْنُ ٱلْمَلِكِ عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ يَحْكُمُ عَلَى شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ عَزَرْيَا وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ 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 ٱضْطَجَعَ عَزَرْيَا مَعَ آبَائِهِ، فَدَفَنُوهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ يُوثَامُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

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 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِعَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ سِتَّةَ 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 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا عَمِلَ آبَاؤُهُ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

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 فَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ شَلُّومُ بْنُ يَابِيشَ وَضَرَبَهُ أَمَامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَقَتَلَهُ، وَمَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

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 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ زَكَرِيَّا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ 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 ذَلِكَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ بِهِ يَاهُوَ قَائِلًا: «بَنُو ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلرَّابِعِ يَجْلِسُونَ لَكَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ». وَهَكَذَا كَانَ.

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 شَلُّومُ بْنُ يَابِيشَ مَلَكَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِعُزِّيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَمَلَكَ شَهْرَ أَيَّامٍ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ.

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 وَصَعِدَ مَنَحِيمُ بْنُ جَادِي مِنْ تِرْصَةَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَضَرَبَ شَلُّومَ بْنَ يَابِيشَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ فَقَتَلَهُ، وَمَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

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 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ شَلُّومَ وَفِتْنَتُهُ ٱلَّتِي فَتَنَهَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ 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 حِينَئِذٍ ضَرَبَ مَنَحِيمُ تَفْصَحَ وَكُلَّ مَا بِهَا وَتُخُومَهَا مِنْ تِرْصَةَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْتَحُوا لَهُ. ضَرَبَهَا وَشَقَّ جَمِيعَ 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 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِعَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ مَنَحِيمُ بْنُ جَادِي عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ عَشَرَ 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 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ كُلَّ 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 فَجَاءَ فُولُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَأَعْطَى مَنَحِيمُ لِفُولَ أَلْفَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ لِتَكُونَ يَدَاهُ مَعَهُ لِيُثَبِّتَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ فِي يَدِهِ.

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 وَوَضَعَ مَنَحِيمُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ جَبَابِرَةِ ٱلْبَأْسِ لِيَدْفَعَ لِمَلِكِ أَشُّورَ خَمْسِينَ شَاقِلَ فِضَّةٍ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ، فَرَجَعَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَلَمْ يُقِمْ هُنَاكَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ مَنَحِيمَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

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

22 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ مَنَحِيمُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَمَلَكَ فَقَحْيَا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

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 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ لِعَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ فَقَحْيَا بْنُ مَنَحِيمَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ 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 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

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 فَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ فَقْحُ بْنُ رَمَلْيَا ثَالِثُهُ، وَضَرَبَهُ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ فِي قَصْرِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ مَعَ أَرْجُوبَ وَمَعَ أَرْيَةَ وَمَعَهُ خَمْسُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْجِلْعَادِيِّينَ. قَتَلَهُ وَمَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

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 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ فَقَحْيَا وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ هَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ 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 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ لِعَزَرْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ فَقْحُ بْنُ رَمَلْيَا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ 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 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ.

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 فِي أَيَّامِ فَقْحٍ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، جَاءَ تَغْلَثَ فَلَاسِرُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَأَخَذَ عُيُونَ وَآبَلَ بَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ وَيَانُوحَ وَقَادَشَ وَحَاصُورَ وَجِلْعَادَ وَٱلْجَلِيلَ وَكُلَّ أَرْضِ نَفْتَالِي، وَسَبَاهُمْ 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 وَفَتَنَ هُوشَعُ بْنُ أَيْلَةَ عَلَى فَقْحَ بْنِ رَمَلْيَا وَضَرَبَهُ فَقَتَلَهُ، وَمَلَكَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِيُوثَامَ بْنِ عُزِّيَّا.

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 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ فَقْحٍ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ 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 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِفَقْحَ بْنِ رَمَلْيَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلَكَ يُوثَامُ بْنُ عُزِّيَّا مَلِكِ 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 كَانَ ٱبْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَرُوشَا ٱبْنَةُ صَادُوقَ.

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

34 وَعَمِلَ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. عَمِلَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ عُزِّيَّا أَبُوهُ.

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 إِلَّا أَنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لَمْ تُنْتَزَعْ، بَلْ كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَزَالُونَ يَذْبَحُونَ وَيُوقِدُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ. هُوَ بَنَى ٱلْبَابَ ٱلْأَعْلَى لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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

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

37 فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱبْتَدَأَ ٱلرَّبُّ 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 وَٱضْطَجَعَ يُوثَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَمَلَكَ آحَازُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
