2 Chronicles 12

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 When Rehoboam had consolidated the kingdom and become strong, he, and al Israel with him,abandoned the Law of Yahweh;	1 ولما تثبتت مملكة رحبعام وتشدّدت ترك شريعة الرب هو وكل اسرائيل معه.
2 and thus it happened that in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt marched onJerusalem, because they had been unfaithful to Yahweh,	2 وفي السنة الخامسة للملك رحبعام صعد شيشق ملك مصر على اورشليم. لانهم خانوا الرب.
3 with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand cavalry and countless hordes of Libyans, Sukkiimand Cushites who came from Egypt with him.	3 بالف ومئتي مركبة وستّين الف فارس ولم يكن عدد للشعب الذين جاءوا معه من مصر لوبيين وسكّيين وكوشيين.
4 They captured the fortified towns of Judah and reached Jerusalem.	4 واخذ المدن الحصينة التي ليهوذا واتى الى اورشليم
5 The prophet Shemaiah then came to Rehoboam and the generals of Judah, who had fal en back onJerusalem before Shishak's advance, and said to them, 'Yahweh says this, "You have abandoned me and so Ihave abandoned you into Shishak's clutches." '	5 فجاء شمعيا النبي الى رحبعام ورؤساء يهوذا الذين اجتمعوا في اورشليم من وجه شيشق وقال لهم. هكذا قال الرب. انتم تركتموني وانا ايضا تركتكم ليد شيشق.
6 At this, the Israelite generals and the king humbled themselves and said, 'Yahweh is just!'	6 فتذلل رؤساء اسرائيل والملك وقالوا بار هو الرب.
7 When Yahweh saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah asfol ows, 'They have humbled themselves. I shal not destroy them but shall grant them some degree ofdeliverance. My retribution wil not be poured out on Jerusalem by means of Shishak;	7 فلما رأى الرب انهم تذلّلوا كان كلام الرب الى شمعيا قائلا. قد تذلّلوا فلا اهلكهم بل اعطيهم قليلا من النجاة ولا ينصبّ غضبي على اورشليم بيد شيشق
8 they are nonetheless to become his slaves, so that they may learn the difference between serving meand serving kings of other countries.'	8 لكنهم يكونون له عبيدا ويعلمون خدمتي وخدمة ممالك الاراضي.
9 So Shishak king of Egypt advanced on Jerusalem and carried off the treasures of the Temple and thetreasures of the royal palace. He took everything away, including the golden shields which Solomon had made.	9 فصعد شيشق ملك مصر على اورشليم واخذ خزائن بيت الرب وخزائن بيت الملك اخذ الجميع واخذ اتراس الذهب التي عملها سليمان.
10 To replace these, King Rehoboam made bronze shields, entrusting them to the commanders of theguard who guarded the king's palace gate.	10 فعمل الملك رحبعام عوض عنها اتراس نحاس وسلمها الى ايدي رؤساء السعاة الحافظين باب بيت الملك.
11 Whenever the king went to the Temple of Yahweh, the guards would come out carrying them,returning them to the guardroom afterwards.	11 وكان اذا دخل الملك بيت الرب يأتي السعاة ويحملونها ثم يرجعونها الى غرفة السعاة.
12 Because King Rehoboam had humbled himself, the retribution of Yahweh turned away from him soas not to destroy him completely; and there were also some good features in Judah.	12 ولما تذلّل ارتد عنه غضب الرب فلم يهلكه تماما. وكذلك كان في يهوذا امور حسنة
13 Thus he was able to strengthen his position in Jerusalem and continue as king; for Rehoboam wasforty-one years old when he came to the throne and remained king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the citychosen by Yahweh from al the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother's name was Naamah theAmmonite.	13 فتشدد الملك رحبعام في اورشليم وملك لان رحبعام كان ابن احدى واربعين سنة حين ملك وملك سبع عشر سنة في اورشليم المدينة التي اختارها الرب ليضع اسمه فيها دون جميع اسباط اسرائيل. واسم امه نعمة العمونية.
14 But he did wrong in not setting his heart on seeking Yahweh.	14 وعمل الشر لانه لم يهيئ قلبه لطلب الرب.
15 The history of Rehoboam, from first to last, is this not all written down in the records of Shemaiah theprophet and of Iddo the seer? Warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam went on throughout the period.	15 وامور رحبعام الاولى والاخيرة أما هي مكتوبة في اخبار شمعيا النبي وعدّو الرائي عن الانتساب. وكانت حروب بين رحبعام ويربعام كل الايام.
16 When Rehoboam fel asleep with his ancestors, he was buried in the City of David; his son Abijahsucceeded him.	16 ثم اضطجع رحبعام مع آبائه ودفن في مدينة داود وملك ابيا ابنه عوضا عنه
