II Kings 12

فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ لِيَاهُو، مَلَكَ يَهُوآشُ. مَلَكَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ ظَبْيَةُ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ.

In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer–sheba.

وَعَمِلَ يَهُوآشُ مَا هُوَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ الَّتِي فِيهَا عَلَّمَهُ يَهُويَادَاعُ الْكَاهِنُ،

And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

إِلاَّ أَنَّ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لَمْ تُنْتَزَعْ، بَلْ كَانَ الشَّعْبُ لاَ يَزَالُونَ يَذْبَحُونَ وَيُوقِدُونَ عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ.

But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

وَقَالَ يَهُوآشُ لِلْكَهَنَةِ: «جَمِيعُ فِضَّةِ الأَقْدَاسِ الَّتِي أُدْخِلَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، الْفِضَّةُ الرَّائِجَةُ، فِضَّةُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ النُّفُوسِ الْمُقَوَّمَةِ، كُلُّ فِضَّةٍ يَخْطُرُ بِبَالِ إِنْسَانٍ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهَا إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ،

And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD,

لِيَأْخُذَهَا الْكَهَنَةُ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ صَاحِبِهِ، وَهُمْ يُرَمِّمُونَ مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، كُلَّ مَا وُجِدَ فِيهِ مُتَهَدِّمًا».

Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.

وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ لِلْمَلِكِ يَهُوآشَ لَمْ تَكُنِ الْكَهَنَةُ رَمَّمُوا مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ.

But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

فَدَعَا الْمَلِكُ يَهُوآشُ يَهُويَادَاعَ الْكَاهِنَ وَالْكَهَنَةَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ تُرَمِّمُوا مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ؟ فَالآنَ لاَ تَأْخُذُوا فِضَّةً مِنْ عِنْدِ أَصْحَابِكُمْ، بَلِ اجْعَلُوهَا لِمَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ».

Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.

فَوَافَقَ الْكَهَنَةُ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ يَأْخُذُوا فِضَّةً مِنَ الشَّعْبِ، وَلاَ يُرَمِّمُوا مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ.

And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.

فَأَخَذَ يَهُويَادَاعُ الْكَاهِنُ صُنْدُوقًا وَثَقَبَ ثَقْبًا فِي غِطَائِهِ، وَجَعَلَهُ بِجَانِبِ الْمَذْبَحِ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ عِنْدَ دُخُولِ الإِنْسَانِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. وَالْكَهَنَةُ حَارِسُو الْبَابِ جَعَلُوا فِيهِ كُلَّ الْفِضَّةِ الْمُدْخَلَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.

وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَأَوْا الْفِضَّةَ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ فِي الصُّنْدُوقِ، أَنَّهُ صَعِدَ كَاتِبُ الْمَلِكِ وَالْكَاهِنُ الْعَظِيمُ وَصَرُّوا وَحَسَبُوا الْفِضَّةَ الْمَوْجُودَةَ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.

وَدَفَعُوا الْفِضَّةَ الْمَحْسُوبَةَ إِلَى أَيْدِي عَامِلِي الشُّغْلِ الْمُوَكَّلِينَ عَلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَأَنْفَقُوهَا لِلنَّجَّارِينَ وَالْبَنَّائِينَ الْعَامِلِينَ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ،

And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,

وَلِبَنَّائِي الْحِيطَانِ وَنَحَّاتِي الْحِجَارَةِ، وَلِشِرَاءِ الأَخْشَابِ وَالْحِجَارَةِ الْمَنْحُوتَةِ لِتَرْمِيمِ مَا تَهَدَّمَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَلِكُلِّ مَا يُنْفَقُ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ لِتَرْمِيمِهِ.

And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْمَلْ لِبَيْتِ الرَّبِّ طُسُوسُ فِضَّةٍ وَلاَ مِقَصَّاتٌ وَلاَ مَنَاضِحُ وَلاَ أَبْوَاقٌ، كُلُّ آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَآنِيَةِ الْفِضَّةِ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ الدَّاخِلَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ،

Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:

بَلْ كَانُوا يَدْفَعُونَهَا لِعَامِلِي الشُّغْلِ، فَكَانُوا يُرَمِّمُونَ بِهَا بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ.

But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.

وَلَمْ يُحَاسِبُوا الرِّجَالَ الَّذِينَ سَلَّمُوهُمُ الْفِضَّةَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ لِكَيْ يُعْطُوهَا لِعَامِلِي الشُّغْلِ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ بِأَمَانَةٍ.

Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.

وَأَمَّا فِضَّةُ ذَبِيحَةِ الإِثْمِ وَفِضَّةُ ذَبِيحَةِ الْخَطِيَّةِ فَلَمْ تُدْخَلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، بَلْ كَانَتْ لِلْكَهَنَةِ.

The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'.

حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ حَزَائِيلُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ وَحَارَبَ جَتَّ وَأَخَذَهَا، ثُمَّ حَوَّلَ حَزَائِيلُ وَجْهَهُ لِيَصْعَدَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

فَأَخَذَ يَهُوآشُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا جَمِيعَ الأَقْدَاسِ الَّتِي قَدَّسَهَا يَهُوشَافَاطُ وَيَهُورَامُ وَأَخَزْيَا آبَاؤُهُ مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا، وَأَقْدَاسَهُ وَكُلَّ الذَّهَبِ الْمَوْجُودِ فِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ، وَأَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ فَصَعِدَ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُوآشَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ الأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

وَقَامَ عَبِيدُهُ وَفَتَنُوا فِتْنَةً وَقَتَلُوا يُوآشَ فِي بَيْتِ الْقَلْعَةِ حَيْثُ يَنْزِلُ إِلَى سَلَّى.

And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.

لأَنَّ يُوزَاكَارَ بْنَ شِمْعَةَ وَيَهُوزَابَادَ بْنَ شُومِيرَ عَبْدَيْهِ ضَرَبَاهُ فَمَاتَ، فَدَفَنُوهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ أَمَصْيَا ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
