1 ت َوَلَّى أمَصْيا بْنُ يُوآشَ المُلْكَ عَلَى يَهُوذا فِي السَّنَةِ الثّانِيَةِ مِنْ حُكمِ يُوآشَ لإسْرائِيلَ.

In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.

2 و َكانَ أمَصْيا فِي الخامِسَةِ وَالعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، عِندَما تَوَلَّى الحُكمَ. وَحَكَمَ تِسْعاً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي القُدْسِ. وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَهُوعَدَّانُ، وَهِيَ مِنَ القُدْسِ.

He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

3 ع َمِلَ أمَصْيا ما يُرْضِي اللهَ ، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَتبَعِ اللهَ اتِّباعاً كامِلاً مِثلَ سَلَفِهِ داوُدَ. بَلْ عَمِلَ كُلَّ ما سَبَقَ أنْ عَمِلَهُ يُوآشُ أبُوهُ.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.

4 ف َكانَ النّاسُ ما يَزالُونَ يُقَدِّمُونَ الذَّبائِحَ وَيَحرِقُونَ البَخُورَ فِي مُرْتَفَعاتِ العِبادَةِ.

Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.

5 و َلَمّا أحكَمَ أمَصْيا قَبْضَتَهُ عَلَى المَملَكَةِ، قَتَلَ القادَةَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا أباهُ.

And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.

6 غ َيرَ أنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْتُلْ أبناءَ القَتَلَةِ هَؤُلاءِ بِسَبَبِ ما تَنُصُّ عَلَيهِ شَرِيعَةُ مُوسَى، حَيثُ أمَرَ اللهُ وَقالَ: «لا ينبَغِي أنْ يُقتَلَ الآباءُ لِأجلِ الأولادِ، وَلا أنْ يُقتَلَ الأولادُ لِأجلِ الآباءِ. بَلْ يُقتَلُ كُلُّ واحِدٍ عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِ.»

But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

7 و َقَتَلَ أمَصْيا عَشْرَةَ آلافِ أدُومِيٍّ فِي وادِي المِلْحِ. وَاسْتَولَى عَلَى سالَعَ بِالحَرْبِ وَأسْماها يَقْتَئِيلَ. وَمازالَتْ تُدعَى بِهَذا الاسْمِ حَتَّى يَوْمِنا هَذا. أمَصْيا يَرْغَبُ فِي مُحارَبَةِ يَهُوآش

He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.

8 أ رْسَلَ أمَصْيا رُسُلاً إلَى يَهُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوآحازَ بْنِ مَلِكِ إسْرائِيلَ، جاءَ فِيها: «لِماذا لا نَتَقابَلُ وَجهاً لِوَجهٍ وَنَتَقاتَلُ؟»

Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.

9 ف َرَدَّ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ إسْرائِيلَ عَلَى أمَصْيا، مَلِكِ يَهُوذا وَقالَ: «أرْسَلَ عَوسَجُ لُبنانَ رِسالَةً إلَى أرْزِ لُبنانَ، قالَ فِيها: ‹زَوِّجِ ابْنَتَكَ لابْنِي.› لَكِنَّ وَحشاً بَرِّيّاً مِنْ لُبْنانَ مَرَّ وَداسَ العَوْسَجَ.

And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.

10 ص َحِيحٌ أنَّكَ هَزَمْتَ أدُومَ. لَكِنَّكَ انتَفَخْتَ بِالكِبْرِياءِ بِسَبَبِ ذَلِكَ. فَالزَمْ بَيتَكَ وَتَباهَ كَما يَحلُو لَكَ. وَلا تَطلُبِ الشَّرَّ لِنَفسِكَ. فَإنْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ فَسَتَسقُطُ أنتَ وَيَهُوذا مَعَكَ!»

Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

11 ل َكِنَّ أمَصْيا لَمْ يَسْتَمِعْ إلَى تَحذِيرِ يَهُوآشَ. فَخَرَجَ يَهُوآش، مَلِكُ إسْرائِيلَ، لِيُحارِبَ أمَصْيا، مَلِكِ يَهُوذا، فِي بَيتِ شَمسٍ فِي يَهُوذا.

But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

12 ف َألحَقَتْ إسْرائِيلُ هَزِيمَةً بِيَهُوذا. فَهَرَبَ كُلُّ رِجالِ يَهُوذا إلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ.

And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents.

13 و َفِي بَيتَ شَمْسَ أسَرَ يَهُوآشُ، مَلِكُ إسْرائِيلَ، أمَصْيا بْنَ يَهُوآشَ بْنِ أخَزْيا، مَلِكَ يَهُوذا. وَأخَذَ يَهُوآشُ أمَصْيا إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. وَهَدَمَ سُورَ القُدْسِ مِنْ بَوّابَةِ أفْرايِمَ إلَى بَوّابَةِ الزّاوِيَةِ، نَحْوَ أربَعِ مِئَةِ ذِراعٍ.

And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

14 و َأخَذَ يَهُوآشُ كُلَّ الذَّهَبِ وَالفِضَّةِ وَالأشياءِ الأُخرَى الثَمِينَةِ الَّتِي فِي بَيتِ اللهِ ، مَعَ الكُنُوزِ الَّتِي فِي بَيتِ المَلِكِ. ثُمَّ أخَذَ بَعضَ الرَّهائِنِ وَعادَ إلَى السّامِرَةِ.

And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.

15 أ مّا بَقِيَّةُ أعْمالِ يَهُوآشَ، وَقُوَّتِهِ وَحُرُوبِهِ مَعَ أمَصْيا، مَلِكِ يَهُوذا، فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتابِ تارِيخِ مُلُوكِ إسْرائِيلَ.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

16 و َماتَ يَهُوآشُ وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبائِهِ مُلُوكِ إسْرائِيلَ فِي السّامِرَةِ. وَخَلَفَهُ فِي الحُكمِ ابْنُهُ يَرُبْعامُ. مَوْتُ أمَصْيا

And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.

17 و َعاشَ أمَصْيا بْنُ يُوآشَ، مَلِكُ يَهُوذا، خَمسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً بَعْدَ مَوتِ يَهُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوآحازَ مَلِكِ إسْرائِيلَ.

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

18 و َكُلُّ الأُمُورِ الأُخرَى المُتَعَلِّقَةِ بِأمَصْيا مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتابِ تارِيخِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذا.

And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

19 و َتَآمَرَ أهلُ القُدسِ عَلَيهِ. فَهَرَبَ إلَى مَدِينَةِ لَخِيشَ. لَكنَّ الشَّعبَ أرسَلُوا رِجالاً إلَى لَخِيشَ، فَقَتَلُوا أمَصْيا هُناكَ.

Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.

20 ث ُمَّ حَمَلُوا جُثَّتَهُ عَلَى الخَيلِ وَدَفَنُوهُ مَعَ آبائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ داوُدَ. عَزَرْيا يَبدَأُ حُكْمَهُ لِيَهُوذا

And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

21 ث ُمَّ نَصَّبَ كُلُّ شَعبِ يَهُوذا عَزَرْيا مَلِكاً خَلَفاً لِأبِيهِ. وَكانَ عَزَرْيا آنَذاكَ فِي السّادِسَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ.

And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

22 و َبَعْدَ أنْ ماتَ أمَصْيا وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبائِهِ، اسْتَرجَعَ عَزَرْيا أيلَةَ إلَى يَهُوذا وَأعادَ بِناءَها. يَرُبْعامُ الثّانِي يَبدَأُ حُكمَهُ لإسْرائِيل

He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.

23 و َبَدَأ يَرُبْعامُ بْنُ يَهُوآشَ، مَلِكُ إسْرائِيلَ، حُكْمَهُ فِي السّامِرَةِ فِي السَّنَةِ الخامِسَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ أمَصْيا بْنِ يَهُوآشَ لِيَهُوذا. وَحَكَمَ إحْدَى وَأرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years.

24 و َفَعَلَ يَرُبْعامُ الشَّرَّ أمامَ اللهِ. وَلَمْ يَتَوَقَّفْ عَنِ السَّيرِ فِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعامَ بْنِ نَباطَ، الَّذِي جَعَلَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ يُخطِئُونَ.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

25 و َاسْتَعادَ يَرُبْعامُ أرْضَ إسْرائِيلَ المُمتَدَّةَ مِنْ مَدخَلِ حَماةَ إلَى بَحْرِ العَرَبَةِ تَحقِيقاً لِكَلامِ اللهِ ، إلَهِ إسْرائِيلَ، إلَى يُونانَ بْنِ أمِتايَ الَّذِي مِنْ جَتَّ حافِرَ.

He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher.

26 و َرَأى اللهُ أنَّ كُلَّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ فِي ضِيقٍ، سَواءٌ أكانُوا عَبِيداً أمْ أحراراً. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ هُناكَ مَنْ يَمُدُّ لَهُمْ يَدَ العَوْنِ.

For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.

27 ل َكِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَقضِ بِإزالَةِ اسْمِ إسْرائِيلَ مِنَ الوُجُودِ. فَأنقَذَهُمْ عَنْ طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعامَ بْنِ يَهُوآشَ.

And the Lord said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

28 أ مّا بَقِيَّةُ أعْمالِ يَرُبْعامَ، جَبَرُوتِهِ وَحُرُوبِهِ، وَكَيفَ اسْتَرَدَّ دِمَشْقَ وَحَماةَ وَضَمِّهُما إلَى إسْرائِيلَ – وَكانتا قَبلاً لِيهُوذا – فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتابِ تارِيخِ مُلُوكِ إسْرائِيلَ.

Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

29 و َماتَ يَرُبْعامُ وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبائِهِ مُلُوكِ إسْرائِيلَ. وَخَلَفَهُ فِي الحُكمِ ابْنُهُ زَكَرِيّا.

And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead.
