II Kings 11

فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ عَثَلْيَا أُمُّ أَخَزْيَا، أَنَّ ابْنَهَا قَدْ مَاتَ، قَامَتْ فَأَبَادَتْ جَمِيعَ النَّسْلِ الْمَلِكِيِّ.

And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

فَأَخَذَتْ يَهُوشَبَعُ بِنْتُ الْمَلِكِ يُورَامَ، أُخْتُ أَخَزْيَا، يُوآشَ بْنَ أَخَزْيَا وَسَرِقَتْهُ مِنْ وَسَطِ بَنِي الْمَلِكِ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا، هُوَ وَمُرْضِعَتَهُ مِنْ مُخْدَعِ السَّرِيرِ، وَخَبَّأُوهُ مِنْ وَجْهِ عَثَلْيَا فَلَمْ يُقْتَلْ.

But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

وَكَانَ مَعَهَا فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ مُخْتَبِئًا سِتَّ سِنِينَ. وَعَثَلْيَا مَالِكَةٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

وَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ أَرْسَلَ يَهُويَادَاعُ فَأَخَذَ رُؤَسَاءَ مِئَاتِ الْجَلاَّدِينَ وَالسُّعَاةِ، وَأَدْخَلَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَقَطَعَ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدًا وَاسْتَحْلَفَهُمْ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَأَرَاهُمُ ابْنَ الْمَلِكِ.

And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and shewed them the king's son.

وَأَمَرَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «هذَا مَا تَفْعَلُونَهُ: الثُّلْثُ مِنْكُمُ الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي السَّبْتِ يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ،

And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;

وَالثُّلْثُ عَلَى بَابِ سُورٍ، وَالثُّلْثُ عَلَى الْبَابِ وَرَاءَ السُّعَاةِ. فَتَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ الْبَيْتِ لِلصَّدِّ.

And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.

وَالْفِرْقَتَانِ مِنْكُمْ، جَمِيعُ الْخَارِجِينَ فِي السَّبْتِ، يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ حَوْلَ الْمَلِكِ.

And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king.

وَتُحِيطُونَ بِالْمَلِكِ حَوَالَيْهِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سِلاَحُهُ بِيَدِهِ. وَمَنْ دَخَلَ الصُّفُوفَ يُقْتَلُ. وَكُونُوا مَعَ الْمَلِكِ فِي خُرُوجِهِ وَدُخُولِهِ».

And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.

فَفَعَلَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْمِئَاتِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ يَهُويَادَاعُ الْكَاهِنُ، وَأَخَذُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ رِجَالَهُ الدَّاخِلِينَ فِي السَّبْتِ مَعَ الْخَارِجِينَ فِي السَّبْتِ، وَجَاءُوا إِلَى يَهُويَادَاعَ الْكَاهِنِ.

And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.

فَأَعْطَى الْكَاهِنُ لِرُؤَسَاءِ الْمِئَاتِ الْحِرَابَ وَالأَتْرَاسَ الَّتِي لِلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ الَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD.

وَوَقَفَ السُّعَاةُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سِلاَحُهُ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ الأَيْمَنِ إِلَى جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ الأَيْسَرِ حَوْلَ الْمَذْبَحِ وَالْبَيْتِ، حَوْلَ الْمَلِكِ مُسْتَدِيرِينَ.

And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.

وَأَخْرَجَ ابْنَ الْمَلِكِ وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ التَّاجَ وَأَعْطَاهُ الشَّهَادَةَ، فَمَلَّكُوهُ وَمَسَحُوهُ وَصَفَّقُوا وَقَالُوا: «لِيَحْيَ الْمَلِكُ».

And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.

وَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ عَثَلْيَا صَوْتَ السُّعَاةِ وَالشَّعْبِ، دَخَلَتْ إِلَى الشَّعْبِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ،

And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.

وَنَظَرَتْ وَإِذَا الْمَلِكُ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ حَسَبَ الْعَادَةِ، وَالرُّؤَسَاءُ وَنَافِخُو الأَبْوَاقِ بِجَانِبِ الْمَلِكِ، وَكُلُّ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ يَفْرَحُونَ وَيَضْرِبُونَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ. فَشَقَّتْ عَثَلْيَا ثِيَابَهَا وَصَرَخَتْ: «خِيَانَةٌ، خِيَانَةٌ!».

And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.

فَأَمَرَ يَهُويَادَاعُ الْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْمِئَاتِ، قُوَّادَ الْجَيْشِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَخْرِجُوهَا إِلَى خَارِجِ الصُّفُوفِ، وَالَّذِي يَتْبَعُهَا اقْتُلُوهُ بِالسَّيْفِ». لأَنَّ الْكَاهِنَ قَالَ: «لاَ تُقْتَلُ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ».

But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.

فَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيْهَا الأَيَادِيَ، وَمَضَتْ فِي طَرِيقِ مَدْخَلِ الْخَيْلِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ، وَقُتِلَتْ هُنَاكَ.

And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.

وَقَطَعَ يَهُويَادَاعُ عَهْدًا بَيْنَ الرَّبِّ وَبَيْنَ الْمَلِكِ وَالشَّعْبِ لِيَكُونُوا شَعْبًا لِلرَّبِّ، وَبَيْنَ الْمَلِكِ وَالشَّعْبِ.

And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king also and the people.

وَدَخَلَ جَمِيعُ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْبَعْلِ وَهَدَمُوا مَذَابِحَهُ وَكَسَّرُوا تَمَاثِيلَهُ تَمَامًا، وَقَتَلُوا مَتَّانَ كَاهِنَ الْبَعْلِ أَمَامَ الْمَذَابحِ. وَجَعَلَ الْكَاهِنُ نُظَّارًا عَلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.

وَأَخَذَ رُؤَسَاءَ الْمِئَاتِ وَالْجَلاَّدِينَ وَالسُّعَاةَ وَكُلَّ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ، فَأَنْزَلُوا الْمَلِكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَأَتَوْا فِي طَرِيقِ بَابِ السُّعَاةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْمُلُوكِ.

And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.

وَفَرِحَ جَمِيعُ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ، وَاسْتَرَاحَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ. وَقَتَلُوا عَثَلْيَا بِالسَّيْفِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ.

And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house.

كَانَ يَهُوآشُ ابْنَ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ حِينَ مَلَكَ.

Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
