2 Re ( ملوك) 12

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 في السنة السابعة لياهو ملك يهوآش. ملك اربعين سنة في اورشليم. واسم امه ظبية من بئر سبع.	1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash reigned. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebiah from Beersheba.
2 وعمل يهوآش ما هو مستقيم في عيني الرب كل ايامه التي فيها علمه يهوياداع الكاهن.	2 And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord, during all the days that Jehoiada, the priest, taught him.
3 الا ان المرتفعات لم تنتزع بل كان الشعب لا يزالون يذبحون ويوقدون على المرتفعات.	3 Yet still he did not take away the high places. For the people were still immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
4 وقال يهوآش للكهنة. جميع فضة الاقداس التي ادخلت الى بيت الرب الفضة الرائجة فضة كل واحد حسب النفوس المقوّمة كل فضة يخطر ببال انسان ان يدخلها الى بيت الرب	4 And Jehoash said to the priests: “All of the money for the holy things, which has been brought into the temple of the Lord from those who pass by, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which they bring into the temple of the Lord willingly, from their own free heart:
5 ليأخذها الكهنة لانفسهم كل واحد من عند صاحبه وهم يرمّمون ما تهدم من البيت كل ما وجد فيه متهدما.	5 let the priests, according to their ranks, take and use it in order to repair the surfaces of the house, wherever they see anything in need of repair.”
6 وفي السنة الثالثة والعشرين للملك يهوآش لم تكن الكهنة رمّموا ما تهدم من البيت.	6 And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of the temple.
7 فدعا الملك يهوآش يهوياداع الكاهن والكهنة وقال لهم. لماذا لم ترمّموا ما تهدّم من البيت. فالآن لا تأخذوا فضة من عند اصحابكم بل اجعلوها لما تهدّم من البيت.	7 And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: “Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.”
8 فوافق الكهنة على ان لا يأخذوا فضة من الشعب ولا يرمّموا ما تهدّم من البيت.	8 And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.
9 فاخذ يهوياداع الكاهن صندوقا وثقب ثقبا في غطائه وجعله بجانب المذبح عن اليمين عند دخول الانسان الى بيت الرب. والكهنة حارسو الباب جعلوا فيه كل الفضة المدخلة الى بيت الرب.	9 And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple of the Lord.
10 وكان لما رأوا الفضة قد كثرت في الصندوق انه صعد كاتب الملك والكاهن العظيم وصرّوا وحسبوا الفضة الموجودة في بيت الرب.	10 And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
11 ودفعوا الفضة المحسوبة الى ايدي عاملي الشغل الموكلين على بيت الرب وانفقوها للنجارين والبنائين العاملين في بيت الرب	11 And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord
12 ولبنائي الحيطان ونحّاتي الحجارة ولشراء الاخشاب والحجارة المنحوتة لترميم ما تهدّم من بيت الرب ولكل ما ينفق على البيت لترميمه.	12 and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.
13 الا انه لم يعمل لبيت الرب طسوس فضة ولا مقصات ولا مناضح ولا ابواق كل آنية الذهب وآنية الفضة من الفضة الداخلة الى بيت الرب	13 Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.
14 بل كانوا يدفعونها لعاملي الشغل فكانوا يرمّمون بها بيت الرب.	14 For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
15 ولم يحاسبوا الرجال الذين سلموهم الفضة بايديهم لكي يعطوها لعاملي الشغل لانهم كانوا يعملون بامانة.	15 And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.
16 واما فضة ذبيحة الاثم وفضة ذبيحة الخطية فلم تدخل الى بيت الرب بل كانت للكهنة	16 Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for the priests.
17 حينئذ صعد حزائيل ملك ارام وحارب جتّ واخذها. ثم حول حزائيل وجهه ليصعد الى اورشليم.	17 Then Hazael, the king of Syria, ascended and fought against Gath, and he captured it. And he directed his face, so that he might ascend against Jerusalem.
18 فاخذ يهواش ملك يهوذا جميع الاقداس التي قدسها يهوشافاط ويهورام واخزيا آباؤه ملوك يهوذا واقداسه وكل الذهب الموجود في خزائن بيت الرب وبيت الملك وارسلها الى حزائيل ملك ارام فصعد عن اورشليم.	18 For this reason, Jehoash, the king of Judah, took all the sanctified things, which Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had consecrated and which he himself had offered, and all the silver that could be found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and in the palace of the king, and he sent it to Hazael, the king of Syria. And so he withdrew from Jerusalem.
19 وبقية امور يوآش وكل ما عمل أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا.	19 Now the rest of the words of Jehoash, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
20 وقام عبيده وفتنوا فتنة وقتلوا يوآش في بيت القلعة حيث ينزل الى سّلى.	20 Then his servants rose up and conspired among themselves. And they struck down Jehoash, at the house of Millo, on the descent of Silla.
21 لان يوزاكار بن شمعة ويهوزاباد بن شومير عبديه ضرباه فمات فدفنوه مع آبائه في مدينة داود وملك امصيا ابنه عوضا عنه	21 For Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
