II Kings 13

In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.

فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ لِيُوآشَ بْنِ أَخَزْيَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ يَهُوأَحَازُ بْنُ يَاهُو عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ سَبْعَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.

وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَسَارَ وَرَاءَ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ. لَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْهَا.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben–hadad the son of Hazael, all their days.

فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَدَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِ حَزَائِيلَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ، وَلِيَدِ بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ حَزَائِيلَ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ.

And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.

وَتَضَرَّعَ يَهُوأَحَازُ إِلَى وَجْهِ الرَّبِّ، فَسَمِعَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ لأَنَّهُ رَأَى ضِيقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ ضَايَقَهُمْ.

(And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.

وَأَعْطَى الرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُخَلِّصًا، فَخَرَجُوا مِنْ تَحْتِ يَدِ الأَرَامِيِّينَ. وَأَقَامَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي خِيَامِهِمْ كَأَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ.

Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)

وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحِيدُوا عَنْ خَطَايَا بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، بَلْ سَارُوا بِهَا. وَوَقَفَتِ السَّارِيَةُ أَيْضًا فِي السَّامِرَةِ.

Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.

لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُبْقِ لِيَهُوأَحَازَ شَعْبًا إِلاَّ خَمْسِينَ فَارِسًا وَعَشَرَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَعَشَرَةَ آلاَفِ رَاجِل، لأَنَّ مَلِكَ أَرَامَ أَفْنَاهُمْ وَوَضَعَهُمْ كَالتُّرَابِ لِلدَّوْسِ.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَهُوأَحَازَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ الأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead.

ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ يَهُوأَحَازُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي السَّامِرَةِ، وَمَلَكَ يُوآشُ ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years.

فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالثَّلاَثِينَ لِيُوآشَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ يَهُوآشُ بْنُ يَهُوأَحَازَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein.

وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ جَمِيعِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُخْطِئُ، بَلْ سَارَ بِهَا.

And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُوآشَ وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ وَجَبَرُوتُهُ وَكَيْفَ حَارَبَ أَمَصْيَا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ الأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ يُوآشُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَجَلَسَ يَرُبْعَامُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ. وَدُفِنَ يُوآشُ فِي السَّامِرَةِ مَعَ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.

وَمَرِضَ أَلِيشَعُ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ بِهِ، فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ يُوآشُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَكَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبِي، يَا أَبِي، يَا مَرْكَبَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفُرْسَانَهَا».

And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.

فَقَالَ لَهُ أَلِيشَعُ: «خُذْ قَوْسًا وَسِهَامًا». فَأَخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ قَوْسًا وَسِهَامًا.

And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «رَكِّبْ يَدَكَ عَلَى الْقَوْسِ». فَرَكَّبَ يَدَهُ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ أَلِيشَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى يَدَيِ الْمَلِكِ

And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD'S deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.

وَقَالَ: «افْتَحِ الْكَوَّةَ لِجِهَةِ الشَّرْقِ». فَفَتَحَهَا. فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «ارْمِ». فَرَمَى. فَقَالَ: «سَهْمُ خَلاَصٍ لِلرَّبِّ وَسَهْمُ خَلاَصٍ مِنْ أَرَامَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَضْرِبُ أَرَامَ فِي أَفِيقَ إِلَى الْفَنَاءِ».

And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.

ثُمَّ قَالَ: «خُذِ السِّهَامَ». فَأَخَذَهَا. ثُمَّ قَالَ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «اضْرِبْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ». فَضَرَبَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَوَقَفَ.

And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.

فَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلُ اللهِ وَقَالَ: «لَوْ ضَرَبْتَ خَمْسَ أَوْ سِتَّ مَرَّاتٍ، حِينَئِذٍ ضَرَبْتَ أَرَامَ إِلَى الْفَنَاءِ. وَأَمَّا الآنَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا تَضْرِبُ أَرَامَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ».

And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

وَمَاتَ أَلِيشَعُ فَدَفَنُوهُ. وَكَانَ غُزَاةُ مُوآبَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ عِنْدَ دُخُولِ السَّنَةِ.

And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

وَفِيمَا كَانُوا يَدْفِنُونَ رَجُلاً إِذَا بِهِمْ قَدْ رَأَوْا الْغُزَاةَ، فَطَرَحُوا الرَّجُلَ فِي قَبْرِ أَلِيشَعَ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ الرَّجُلُ وَمَسَّ عِظَامَ أَلِيشَعَ عَاشَ وَقَامَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ.

But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

وَأَمَّا حَزَائِيلُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ فَضَايَقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ يَهُوأَحَازَ،

And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.

فَحَنَّ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَحِمَهُمْ وَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمْ لأَجْلِ عَهْدِهِ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، وَلَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يَسْتَأْصِلَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَطْرَحْهُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى الآنَ.

So Hazael king of Syria died; and Ben–hadad his son reigned in his stead.

ثُمَّ مَاتَ حَزَائِيلُ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ، وَمَلَكَ بَنْهَدَدُ ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Ben–hadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.

فَعَادَ يَهُوآشُ بْنُ يَهُوأَحَازَ وَأَخَذَ الْمُدُنَ مِنْ يَدِ بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ حَزَائِيلَ الَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مِنْ يَدِ يَهُوأَحَازَ أَبِيهِ بِالْحَرْبِ. ضَرَبَهُ يُوآشُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَاسْتَرَدَّ مُدُنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
