1 ¶ Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.

فِي السَّنَةِ الثّامِنَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَرُبْعامَ بْنِ ناباطَ عَلَى إسْرائِيلَ، صارَ أبِيّا مَلِكاً عَلَى يَهُوذا.

2 H e reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

وَقَدْ حَكَمَ أبِيّا فِي القُدسِ ثَلاثَ سَنَواتٍ. وَكانَتْ أُمُّهُ مَعْكَةَ بِنتَ أبشالُومَ.

3 A nd he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

ارتَكَبَ أبِيّا الخَطايا نَفْسَها الَّتِي سَبَقَ أنْ ارتَكَبَها أبُوهُ. فَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ وَفِيّاً لإلَهِهِ كَما كانَ قَلْبُ جَدِّهِ داوُدَ.

4 N evertheless for David’s sake, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem.

لَكِن، مِنْ أجلِ خاطِرِ داوُدَ، أعطَاهُ إلَهُهُ مَملَكَةً فِي القُدْسِ. وَأعطاهُ ابْناً، وَجَعَلَ القُدْسَ مَدِينَةً آمِنَةً.

5 B ecause David had done that which was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from any thing that he had commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah, the Hittite.

فَقَدْ أرْضَى داوُدُ اللهَ ، وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ وَصاياهُ طَوالَ حَياتِهِ، إلّا فِي مَسألَةِ أُورِيّا الحِثِّيِّ.

6 A nd there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

وَقَدْ شَهِدَ أبِيّا قَبلَ اعتِلائِهِ العَرشَ الحُرُوبَ المُتَواصِلَةَ بَينَ رَحُبْعامَ وَيَرُبْعامَ.

7 N ow the rest of the acts of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

أمّا بَقِيَةُ أعْمالِ أبِيّا، فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتابِ تارِيخِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذا. وَظَلَّ أبِيّا وَيَرُبْعامُ يَتَحارَبانِ طَوالَ مُدَّةِ حُكْمِ أبِيّا.

8 A nd Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa, his son, reigned in his stead.

وَلَمّا ماتَ أبِيّا، دُفِنَ فِي مَدِينَةِ داوُدَ. فَخَلَفَهُ فِي الحُكْمِ ابْنُهُ آسا. آسا مَلِكُ يَهُوذا

9 ¶ In the twentieth year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.

وَفِي السَّنَةِ العِشْرِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَرُبْعامَ لإسْرائِيلَ، صارَ آسا مَلِكاً عَلَى يَهُوذا.

10 A nd he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

وَحَكَمَ آسا فِي القُدْسِ واحِدَةً وَأربَعِينَ سَنَةً. وَكانَ اسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَعْكَةَ، وَهِيَ بِنتُ أبشالُومَ.

11 A nd Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

فَعَلَ آسا ما يُرضِي اللهَ ، كَما فَعَلَ داوُدُ أبُوهُ.

12 F or he took away the male cult prostitutes out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

وَفِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، كانَ هُناكَ رِجالٌ يُبِيحُونَ أجْسادَهُمْ فِي عِبادَةِ آلِهَتِهِمْ، فَنَفاهُمْ آسا مِنْ يَهُوذا. وَنَزَعَ الأوثانَ الَّتِي سَبَقَ أنْ صَنَعَها آباؤهُ.

13 A nd he also removed Maachah, his mother, from being queen because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

وَعَزَلَ أُمَّهُ مَعْكَةَ أيضاً عَنِ الحُكمِ كَمَلِكَةٍ، لأنَّها أقامَتْ عَمُوداً لِعِبادَةِ عَشْتَرُوتَ. فَقَطَعَ آسا العَمُودَ وَأحرَقَهُ فِي وادِي قَدْرُونَ.

14 B ut the high places were not removed; nevertheless, Asa’s heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.

وَلَمْ يَنزِعْ آسا المُرتَفَعاتِ، لَكِنَّ قَلبَهُ ظَلَّ أميناً للهِ طَوالَ حَياتِهِ.

15 A nd he brought in the things which his father had dedicated and the things which he himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver and gold and vessels.

وَوَضَعَ آسا كُلَّ ما خَصَّصَهُ هُوَ وَأبُوهُ مِنْ أشْياءَ مَصْنُوعَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ فِي بَيْتِ اللهِ.

16 A nd there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.

وَظَلَّ آسا طَوالَ مُدَّةِ حُكْمِهِ لِيَهُوذا فِي حَرْبٍ مُستَمِرَّةٍ مَعَ بَعْشا، مَلِكِ إسْرائِيلَ.

17 A nd Baasha, king of Israel, went up against Judah and built Ramah, that he might not allow any to go out or come in to Asa, king of Judah.

وَهاجَمَ بَعْشا، ملكُ إسْرائِيلَ، يَهُوذا، وحصَّنَ مدينةَ الرامةِ وَاستَخْدَمَها كَنُقْطَةٍ لِيَمْنَعَ آسا مِنْ شَنِّ الحَربِ عَلَيهِ مِنْ يَهُوذا.

18 T hen Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king’s house and delivered them into the hand of his slaves, and King Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

فَأخَذَ آسا ما تَبَقَّى مِنَ الفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ مِنْ خَزْنَةِ بَيتِ اللهِ وَقَصْرِ المَلِكِ، وَأرسَلَها إلَى دِمَشْقَ مَعَ خُدّامِهِ إلَى بِنْهَدَدَ بْنِ طَبْرِيمُونَ بْنِ حَزْيُونَ مَلِكِ أرامَ.

19 T here is a covenant between me and thee and between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent unto thee a bribe of silver and gold; come and break thy covenant with Baasha, king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

وَأرسَلَ آسا هَذِهِ الرِّسالَةَ إلَيهِ: «يَرْبِطُنِي بِكَ عَهْدٌ يَرْجِعُ إلَى زَمانِ أبِي وَأبيكَ. وَها أنا أُرسِلُ إلَيكَ فِضَّةً وَذَهَباً. فَانقُضْ عَهْدَكَ مَعَ بَعْشا مَلكِ إسْرائِيلَ، لكَي يَترُكَنِي وَشَأنِي.»

20 S o Benhadad hearkened unto King Asa and sent the princes of the hosts, which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon and Dan and Abelbethmaachah and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

فَاسْتَجابَ المَلِكُ بِنْهَدَدُ لِطَلَبِ آسا. فَأرسَلَ جَيشَهُ لِمُهاجَمَةِ مُدُنِ إسْرائِيلَ، فَهاجَمَ عُيُونَ وَدانَ وَآبَلَ بَيتِ مَعْكَةَ وَالمُدُنَ القَرِيبَةِ مِنْ بُحَيرَةِ الجَلِيلِ وَمِنطَقَةِ نَفتالِي.

21 A nd when Baasha heard this, he left off building of Ramah and dwelt in Tirzah.

فَلَمّا سَمِعَ بَعْشا بِهَذِهِ الهَجَماتِ، أوقَفَ تَحصِينَ الرّامَةِ. وَغادَرَها عائِداً إلَى تِرْصَةَ.

22 T hen King Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; no one was exempted; and they took away the stones and timber of Ramah, with which Baasha had been building; and King Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

ثُمَّ أصدَرَ آسا أمراً لِجَميعِ سُكّان يَهُوذا دُونَ استِثناءٍ، لِيُحضِرُوا الحِجارَةَ وَالخَشَبَ الَّتِي كانَ بَعشا يَستَخدِمُها فِي تَحصِينِ مَدِينَةِ الرّامَةِ. فَنَقَلُوها وَبَنَوْا مَعَ المَلِكِ آسا مَدِينَةَ جِبْعَةَ فِي أرْضِ بَنْيامِيْنَ وَمَدِينَةَ المِصفاةِ.

23 T he rest of all the acts of Asa and all his might and all that he did and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless, in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

وَكُلُّ الأُمُورِ الأُخرَى المُتَعَلِّقَةِ بِآسا، وَإنجازاتِهِ العَظِيمَةِ وَالمُدُنِ الَّتِي بَناها، مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتابِ تارِيخِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذا. وَلَمّا شاخَ آسا، أُصِيبَ بِمَرَضٍ فِي قَدَمِيهِ.

24 A nd Asa slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, his father; and Jehoshaphat, his son, reigned in his stead.

وَماتَ آسا وَدُفِنَ مَعَ جَماعَتِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ داوُدَ جَدِّهِ. فَخَلَفَهُ فِي الحُكمِ ابنُهُ يَهُوشافاطُ. نادابُ مَلِكُ إسْرائِيل

25 ¶ And Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa, king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.

فِي السَّنَةِ الثّانِيَةِ مِنْ حُكمِ آسا لِيَهُوذا، اعتَلَى نادابُ بْنُ يَرُبْعامَ عَرشَ إسْرائِيلَ. فَحَكَمَ إسْرائِيلَ سَنَتَينِ.

26 A nd he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sins with which he made Israel sin.

وَفَعَلَ نادابُ الشَّرَّ أمامَ اللهِ. وَارتَكَبَ نَفسَ خَطايا أبِيهِ يَرُبْعامَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ أيضاً يُخطِئُونَ.

27 A nd Baasha, the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, for Nadab and all Israel had laid siege to Gibbethon.

وَحاكَ بَعشا بْنُ أخِيّا اليَسّاكَرِيِّ مُؤامَرَةً لِقَتلِ المَلِكِ نادابَ. حَدَثَ هَذا فِي الوَقتِ الَّذِي كانَ فِيهِ نادابُ وَكُلُّ إسْرائِيلَ يُهاجِمُونَ جِبَثُونَ، وَهِيَ مَدِينَةٌ فِلَسطِيَّةٌ. فَتَمَكَّنَ بَعشا مِنْ قَتلِ نادابَ هُناكَ.

28 E ven in the third year of Asa, king of Judah, did Baasha slay him and reigned in his stead.

حَدَثَ هَذا فِي السَّنَةِ الثّالِثَةِ مِنْ حُكمِ آسا لِيَهُوذا، وَخَلَفَهُ بَعشا مَلِكاً عَلَى إسْرائِيلَ. بَعْشا مَلِكُ إسْرائِيل

29 A nd when he came into the kingdom, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not a living soul of those of Jeroboam, until he had destroyed him, according unto the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his slave Ahijah, the Shilonite,

وَلَمّا اعتَلَى بَعْشا عَرْشَ إسْرائِيلَ، أبادَ كُلَّ عائِلَةِ يَرُبْعامَ. فَلَمْ يُبقِ عَلَى أيِّ أحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ حَيّاً. حَدَثَ هَذا تَحقِيقاً لِما قالَهُ اللهُ فِي شِيلُوهَ لِعَبْدِهِ أخِيّا.

30 b ecause of the sins of Jeroboam with which he sinned and with which he made Israel sin and because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.

هَذا كُلُّهُ كانَ بِسَبَبِ خَطايا يَرُبْعامَ الكَثِيرَةَ، وَدَفعِهِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ إلَى ارتِكابِ خَطايا كَثِيرَةً، ممّا أغضَبَ اللهَ ، إلَهَ إسْرائِيلَ، غَضَباً شَدِيْداً.

31 N ow the rest of the acts of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

أمّا بَقِيَةُ أعْمالِ نادابَ، فَهِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتابِ تارِيخِ مُلُوكِ إسْرائِيلَ.

32 A nd there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.

وَكانَ بَعْشا طَوالَ حُكمِهِ لإسْرائِيلَ في حَربٍ مُستَمِرَّةٍ مع آسا مَلِكُ يَهُوذا.

33 I n the third year of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah; and he reigned twenty-four years.

اعتَلَى بَعْشا بْنُ أخِيّا عَرشَ إسْرائِيلَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثّالِثَةِ مِنْ حُكمِ آسا لِيَهُوذا. وَقَدْ حَكَمَ بَعشا مِنْ مَدِينَةِ تِرْصَةَ مُدَّةَ أربَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

34 A nd he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin with which he caused Israel to sin.

لَكِنَّهُ فَعَلَ الشَّرَّ أمامَ اللهِ. إذِ ارتَكَبَ نَفسَ الخَطايا الَّتِي ارتَكَبَها يَرُبْعامُ. وَجَعَلَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ يُخطِئُونَ.
