2 Kings 16

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah, son of Remaliah, Ahaz, son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign.	1 في السنة السابعة عشرة لفقح بن رمليا ملك آحاز بن يوثام ملك يهوذا.
2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not please the LORD, his God, like his forefather David,	2 كان آحاز ابن عشرين سنة حين ملك. وملك ست عشرة سنة في اورشليم. ولم يعمل المستقيم في عيني الرب الهه كداود ابيه
3 but conducted himself like the kings of Israel, and even immolated his son by fire, in accordance with the abominable practice of the nations whom the LORD had cleared out of the way of the Israelites.	3 بل سار في طريق ملوك اسرائيل حتى انه عبّر ابنه في النار حسب ارجاس الامم الذين طردهم الرب من امام بني اسرائيل.
4 Further, he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on hills, and under every leafy tree.	4 وذبح واوقد على المرتفعات وعلى التلال وتحت كل شجرة خضراء.
5 Then Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to attack it. Although they besieged Ahaz, they were unable to conquer him.	5 حينئذ صعد رصين ملك ارام وفقح بن رمليا ملك اسرائيل الى اورشليم للمحاربة فحاصروا آحاز ولم يقدروا ان يغلبوه.
6 At the same time the king of Edom recovered Elath for Edom, driving the Judeans out of it. The Edomites then entered Elath, which they have occupied until the present.	6 في ذلك الوقت ارجع رصين ملك ارام ايلة للاراميين وطرد اليهود من ايلة وجاء الاراميون الى ايلة واقاموا هناك الى هذا اليوم.
7 Meanwhile, Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, with the plea: "I am your servant and your son. Come up and rescue me from the clutches of the king of Aram and the king of Israel, who are attacking me."	7 وارسل آحاز رسلا الى تغلث فلاسر ملك اشور قائلا. انا عبدك وابنك. اصعد وخلّصني من يد ملك ارام ومن يد ملك اسرائيل القائمين عليّ.
8 Ahaz took the silver and gold that were in the temple of the LORD and in the palace treasuries and sent them as a present to the king of Assyria,	8 فاخذ آحاز الفضة والذهب الموجودة في بيت الرب وفي خزائن بيت الملك وارسلها الى ملك اشور هدية.
9 who listened to him and moved against Damascus, which he captured. He deported its inhabitants to Kir and put Rezin to death.	9 فسمع له ملك اشور وصعد ملك اشور الى دمشق واخذها وسباها الى قير وقتل رصين.
10 King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria. When he saw the altar in Damascus, King Ahaz sent to Uriah the priest a model of the altar and a detailed design of its construction.	10 وسار الملك آحاز للقاء تغلث فلاسر ملك اشور الى دمشق. ورأى المذبح الذي في دمشق. وارسل الملك آحاز الى اوريا الكاهن شبه المذبح وشكله حسب كل صناعته.
11 Uriah the priest built an altar according to the plans which King Ahaz sent him from Damascus, and had it completed by the time the king returned home.	11 فبنى اوريا الكاهن مذبحا حسب كل ما ارسل الملك آحاز من دمشق كذلك عمل اوريا الكاهن ريثما جاء الملك آحاز من دمشق.
12 On his arrival from Damascus, the king inspected this altar, then went up to it and offered sacrifice on it,	12 فلما قدم الملك من دمشق رأى الملك المذبح فتقدم الملك الى المذبح واصعد عليه
13 burning his holocaust and cereal-offering, pouring out his libation, and sprinkling the blood of his peace-offerings on the altar.	13 واوقد محرقته وتقدمته وسكب سكيبه ورشّ دم ذبيحة السلامة التي له على المذبح.
14 The bronze altar that stood before the LORD he brought from the front of the temple--that is, from the space between the new altar and the temple of the LORD--and set it on the north side of his altar.	14 ومذبح النحاس الذي امام الرب قدّمه من امام البيت من بين المذبح وبيت الرب وجعله على جانب المذبح الشمالي.
15 "Upon the large altar," King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, "burn the morning holocaust and the evening cereal offering, the royal holocaust and cereal offering, as well as the holocausts, cereal offerings, and libations of the people. You must also sprinkle on it all the blood of holocausts and sacrifices. But the old bronze altar shall be mine for consultation."	15 وأمر الملك آحاز اوريا الكاهن قائلا. على المذبح العظيم أوقد محرقة الصباح وتقدمة المساء ومحرقة الملك وتقدمته مع محرقة كل شعب الارض وتقدمتهم وسكائبهم ورشّ عليه كل دم محرقة وكل دم ذبيحة. ومذبح النحاس يكون لي للسؤال.
16 Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had commanded.	16 فعمل اوريا الكاهن حسب كل ما امر به الملك آحاز.
17 King Ahaz detached the frames from the bases and removed the lavers from them; he also took down the bronze sea from the bronze oxen that supported it, and set it on a stone pavement.	17 وقطع الملك آحاز اتراس القواعد ورفع عنها المرحضة وانزل البحر عن ثيران النحاس التي تحته وجعله على رصيف من حجارة.
18 In deference to the king of Assyria he removed from the temple of the LORD the emplacement which had been built in the temple for a throne, and the outer entrance for the king.	18 ورواق السبت الذي بنوه في البيت ومدخل الملك من خارج غيّره في بيت الرب من اجل ملك اشور.
19 The rest of the acts of Ahaz are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.	19 وبقية امور آحاز التي عمل أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا.
20 Ahaz rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. His son Hezekiah succeeded him as king.	20 ثم اضطجع آحاز مع آبائه ودفن مع آبائه في مدينة داود وملك حزقيا ابنه عوضا عنه
