1Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem, the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.
1مَلَكَ أَمَصْيَا وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، وَمَلَكَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَهُوعَدَّانُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.
2And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.
2وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ بِقَلْبٍ كَامِلٍ.
3And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.
3وَلَمَّا تَثَبَّتَتِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةُ عَلَيْهِ قَتَلَ عَبِيدَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ أَبَاهُ.
4But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
4وَأَمَّا بَنُوهُمْ فَلَمْ يَقْتُلْهُمْ، بَلْ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ فِي سِفْرِ مُوسَى حَيْثُ أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَمُوتُ ٱلْآبَاءُ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْبَنِينَ، وَلَا ٱلْبَنُونَ يَمُوتُونَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْآبَاءِ، بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَمُوتُ لِأَجْلِ خَطِيَّتِهِ».
5Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield.
5وَجَمَعَ أَمَصْيَا يَهُوذَا وَأَقَامَهُمْ حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ ٱلْآبَاءِ رُؤَسَاءَ أُلُوفٍ وَرُؤَسَاءَ مِئَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ، وَأَحْصَاهُمْ مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ، فَوَجَدَهُمْ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ مُخْتَارٍ خَارِجٍ لِلْحَرْبِ حَامِلِ رُمْحٍ وَتُرْسٍ.
6He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver.
6وَٱسْتَأْجَرَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِئَةَ أَلْفِ جَبَّارِ بَأْسٍ بِمِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ.
7But a man of God came to him, and said: O king, let not the army of Israel go out with thee, for the Lord is not with Israel, and all the children of Ephraim:
7وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ قَائِلًا: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، لَا يَأْتِي مَعَكَ جَيْشُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَيْسَ مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَعَ كُلِّ بَنِي أَفْرَايِمَ.
8And if thou think that battles consist in the strength of the army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemies: for it belongeth to God both to help, and to put to flight.
8وَإِنْ ذَهَبْتَ أَنْتَ فَٱعْمَلْ وَتَشَدَّدْ لِلْقِتَالِ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ يُسْقِطُكَ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، لِأَنَّ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ قُوَّةً لِلْمُسَاعَدَةِ وَلِلْإِسْقَاطِ».
9And Amasias said to the man of God: What will then become of the hundred talents which I have given to the soldiers of Israeli and the man of God answered him: The Lord is rich enough to be able to give thee much more than this.
9فَقَالَ أَمَصْيَا لِرَجُلِ ٱللهِ: «فَمَاذَا يُعْمَلُ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمِئَةِ ٱلْوَزْنَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهَا لِغُزَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» فَقَالَ رَجُلُ ٱللهِ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذِهِ».
10Then Amasias separated the army, that came to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: but they being much enraged against Juda, returned to their own country.
10فَأَفْرَزَ أَمَصْيَا ٱلْغُزَاةَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ لِكَيْ يَنْطَلِقُوا إِلَى مَكَانِهِمْ، فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُهُمْ جِدًّا عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى مَكَانِهِمْ بِحُمُوِّ ٱلْغَضَبِ.
11And Amasias taking courage led forth his people, and went to the vale of saltpits, and slew of the children of Seir ten thousand.
11وَأَمَّا أَمَصْيَا فَتَشَدَّدَ وَٱقْتَادَ شَعْبَهُ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى وَادِي ٱلْمِلْحِ، وَضَرَبَ مِنْ بَنِي سَاعِيرَ عَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ،
12And other ten thousand men the sons of Juda took, and brought to the steep of a certain rock, and cast them down headlong from the top, and they all were broken to pieces.
12وَعَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ أَحْيَاءَ سَبَاهُمْ بَنُو يَهُوذَا وَأَتَوْا بِهِمْ إِلَى رَأْسِ سَالِعَ وَطَرَحُوهُمْ عَنْ رَأْسِ سَالِعَ فَتَكَسَّرُوا أَجْمَعُونَ.
13But that army which Amasias had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves among the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and having killed three thousand took away much spoil.
13وَأَمَّا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْغُزَاةُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْجَعَهُمْ أَمَصْيَا عَنِ ٱلذَّهَابِ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْقِتَالِ فَٱقْتَحَمُوا مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ حُورُونَ، وَضَرَبُوا مِنْهُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ وَنَهَبُوا نَهْبًا كَثِيرًا.
14But Amasias after he had slain the Edomites, set up the gods of the children of Seir, which he had brought thence, to be his gods, and adored them, and burnt incense to them.
14ثُمَّ بَعْدَ مَجِيءِ أَمَصْيَا مِنْ ضَرْبِ ٱلْأَدُومِيِّينَ أَتَى بِآلِهَةِ بَنِي سَاعِيرَ وَأَقَامَهُمْ لَهُ آلِهَةً، وَسَجَدَ أَمَامَهُمْ وَأَوْقَدَ لَهُمْ.
15Wherefore the Lord being angry against Amasias, sent a prophet to him, to say to him: Why hast thou adored gods that have not delivered their own people out of thy hand?
15فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أَمَصْيَا وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ نَبِيًّا فَقَالَ لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا طَلَبْتَ آلِهَةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يُنْقِذُوا شَعْبَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِكَ؟»
16And when he spoke these things, he answered him: Art thou the king’s counsellor? be quiet, lest I kill thee. And the prophet departing, said: I know that God is minded to kill thee, because thou hast done this evil, and moreover hast not hearkened to my counsel.
16وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُ قَالَ لَهُ: «هَلْ جَعَلُوكَ مُشِيرًا لِلْمَلِكِ؟ كُفَّ! لِمَاذَا يَقْتُلُونَكَ؟» فَكَفَّ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ قَضَى بِهَلَاكِكَ لِأَنَّكَ عَمِلْتَ هَذَا وَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِمَشُورَتِي».
17Then Amasias king of Juda taking very bad counsel, sent to Joas the son of Joachaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: Come, let us see one another.
17فَٱسْتَشَارَ أَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى يُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوآحَازَ بْنِ يَاهُو مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «هَلُمَّ نَتَرَاءَ مُواجَهَةً».
18But he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by, and trod down the thistle.
18فَأَرْسَلَ يُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَمَصْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا: «ٱلْعَوْسَجُ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْزِ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ يَقُولُ: أَعْطِ ٱبْنَتَكَ لِٱبْنِي ٱمْرَأَةً. فَعَبَرَ حَيَوَانٌ بَرِّيٌّ كَانَ فِي لُبْنَانَ وَدَاسَ ٱلْعَوْسَجَ.
19Thou hast said: I have overthrown Edom, and therefore thy heart is lifted up with pride: stay at home, why dost thou provoke evil against thee, that both thou shouldst fall and Juda with thee.
19تَقُولُ: هَأَنَذَا قَدْ ضَرَبْتُ أَدُومَ، فَرَفَّعَكَ قَلْبُكَ لِلتَّمَجُّدِ! فَٱلْآنَ أَقِمْ فِي بَيْتِكَ. لِمَاذَا تَهْجُمُ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِّ فَتَسْقُطَ أَنْتَ وَيَهُوذَا مَعَكَ؟».
20Amasias would not hearken to him, because it was the Lord’s will that he should be delivered into the hands of enemies, because of the gods of Edom.
20فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَمَصْيَا لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ طَلَبُوا آلِهَةَ أَدُومَ.
21So Joas king of Israel went up, and they presented themselves to be seen by one another: and Amasias king of Juda was in Bethsames of Juda:
21وَصَعِدَ يُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَتَرَاءَيَا مُواجَهَةً، هُوَ وَأَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا، فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا.
22And Juda fell before Israel and they fled to their dwellings.
22فَٱنْهَزَمَ يَهُوذَا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهَرَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ.
23And Joas king of Israel took Amasias king of Juda, the son of Joas, the son Joachaz, in Bethsames, and brought him to Jerusalem: and broke down the walls thereof from the gate of Ephraim, to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.
23وَأَمَّا أَمَصْيَا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا ٱبْنُ يُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوآحَازَ فَأَمْسَكَهُ يُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ وَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَهَدَمَ سُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ، أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ ذِرَاعٍ.
24And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king’s house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back to Samaria.
24وَأَخَذَ كُلَّ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَكُلَّ ٱلْآنِيَةِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ مَعَ عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَخَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلرُّهَنَاءَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ.
25And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, fifteen years.
25وَعَاشَ أَمَصْيَا بْنُ يُوآشَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا بَعْدَ مَوْتِ يُوآشَ بْنِ يَهُوآحَازَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ خَمْسَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً.
26Now the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
26وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ أَمَصْيَا ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْأَخِيرَةِ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ.؟
27And after he revolted from the Lord, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled into Lachis, and they sent, and killed him there.
27وَمِنْ حِينَ حَادَ أَمَصْيَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلرَّبِّ فَتَنُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَهَرَبَ إِلَى لَخِيشَ، فَأَرْسَلُوا وَرَاءَهُ إِلَى لَخِيشَ وَقَتَلُوهُ هُنَاكَ،
28And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
28وَحَمَلُوهُ عَلَى ٱلْخَيْلِ وَدَفَنُوهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ يَهُوذَا.
