II Chronicles 12

وَلَمَّا تَثَبَّتَتْ مَمْلَكَةُ رَحُبْعَامَ وَتَشَدَّدَتْ، تَرَكَ شَرِيعَةَ الرَّبِّ هُوَ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ.

And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

وَفِي السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ لِلْمَلِكِ رَحُبْعَامَ صَعِدَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، لأَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا الرَّبَّ،

And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,

بِأَلْفٍ وَمِئَتَيْ مَرْكَبَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَدَدٌ لِلشَّعْبِ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مَعَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ: لُوبِيِّينَ وَسُكِّيِّينَ وَكُوشِيِّينَ.

With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.

وَأَخَذَ الْمُدُنَ الْحَصِينَةَ الَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا وَأَتَى إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

فَجَاءَ شَمْعِيَا النَّبِيُّ إِلَى رَحُبْعَامَ وَرُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا الَّذِينَ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ وَجْهِ شِيشَقَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: أَنْتُمْ تَرَكْتُمُونِي وَأَنَا أَيْضًا تَرَكْتُكُمْ لِيَدِ شِيشَقَ».

Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

فَتَذَلَّلَ رُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالْمَلِكُ وَقَالُوا: «بَارٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ».

Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى الرَّبُّ أَنَّهُمْ تَذَلَّلُوا، كَانَ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى شَمْعِيَا قَائِلاً: «قَدْ تَذَلَّلُوا فَلاَ أُهْلِكُهُمْ بَلْ أُعْطِيهِمْ قَلِيلاً مِنَ النَّجَاةِ، وَلاَ يَنْصَبُّ غَضَبِي عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ بِيَدِ شِيشَقَ،

And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

لكِنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لَهُ عَبِيدًا وَيَعْلَمُونَ خِدْمَتِي وَخِدْمَةَ مَمَالِكِ الأَرَاضِي».

Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

فَصَعِدَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَخَذَ خَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ، أَخَذَ الْجَمِيعَ، وَأَخَذَ أَتْرَاسَ الذَّهَبِ الَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ.

So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

فَعَمِلَ الْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ عِوَضًا عَنْهَا أَتْرَاسَ نُحَاسٍ وَسَلَّمَهَا إِلَى أَيْدِي رُؤَسَاءِ السُّعَاةِ الْحَافِظِينَ بَابَ بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ.

Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.

وَكَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْمَلِكُ بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ يَأْتِي السُّعَاةُ وَيَحْمِلُونَهَا، ثُمَّ يُرْجِعُونَهَا إِلَى غُرْفَةِ السُّعَاةِ.

And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.

وَلَمَّا تَذَلَّلَ ارْتَدَّ عَنْهُ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ فَلَمْ يُهْلِكْهُ تَمَامًا. وَكَذلِكَ كَانَ فِي يَهُوذَا أُمُورٌ حَسَنَةٌ.

And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.

فَتَشَدَّدَ الْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمَلَكَ، لأَنَّ رَحُبْعَامَ كَانَ ابْنَ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَارَهَا الرَّبُّ لِيَضَعَ اسْمَهُ فِيهَا دُونَ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ نَعْمَةُ الْعَمُّونِيَّةُ.

So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُهَيِّئْ قَلْبَهُ لِطَلَبِ الرَّبِّ.

And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.

وَأُمُورُ رَحُبْعَامَ الأُولَى وَالأَخِيرَةُ، أَمَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي أَخْبَارِ شَمْعِيَا النَّبِيِّ وَعِدُّو الرَّائِي عَنِ الانْتِسَابِ؟ وَكَانَتْ حُرُوبٌ بَيْنَ رَحُبْعَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ.

Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ رَحُبْعَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ أَبِيَّا ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
