SMITH VAN DYKEKING JAMES BIBLE
1 ثم بعد ذلك اتى بنو موآب وبنو عمون ومعهم العمونيون على يهوشافاط للمحاربة.1 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2 فجاء اناس واخبروا يهوشافاط قائلين قد جاء عليك جمهور كثير من عبر البحر من ارام وها هم في حصون تامار. هي عين جدي.2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be Hazazon-tamar, which is En-gedi.
3 فخاف يهوشافاط وجعل وجهه ليطلب الرب ونادى بصوم في كل يهوذا.3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
4 واجتمع يهوذا ليسألوا الرب. جاءوا ايضا من كل مدن يهوذا ليسألوا الرب.4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
5 فوقف يهوشافاط في جماعة يهوذا واورشليم في بيت الرب امام الدار الجديدة5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,
6 وقال. يا رب اله آبائنا أما انت هو الله في السماء وانت المتسلط على جميع ممالك الامم وبيدك قوة وجبروت وليس من يقف معك.6 And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
7 ألست انت الهنا الذي طردت سكان هذه الارض من امام شعبك اسرائيل واعطيتها لنسل ابراهيم خليلك الى الابد.7 Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
8 فسكنوا فيها وبنو لك فيها مقدسا لاسمك قائلين8 And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
9 اذا جاء علينا شر سيف قضاء او وبأ او جوع ووقفنا امام هذا البيت وامامك لان اسمك في هذا البيت وصرخنا اليك من ضيقنا فانك تسمع وتخلص.9 If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.
10 والآن هوذا بنو عمون وموآب وجبل ساعير الذين لم تدع اسرائيل يدخلون اليهم حين جاءوا من ارض مصر بل مالوا عنهم ولم يهلكوهم10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;
11 فهوذا هم يكافئوننا بمجيئهم لطردنا من ملكك الذي ملكتنا اياه.11 Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
12 يا الهنا أما تقضي عليهم لانه ليس فينا قوة امام هذا الجمهور الكثير الآتي علينا ونحن لا نعلم ماذا نعمل ولكن نحوك اعيننا.12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
13 وكان كل يهوذا واقفين امام الرب مع اطفالهم ونسائهم وبنيهم13 And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
14 وان يحزيئيل بن زكريا بن بنايا بن يعيئيل بن متّنيا اللاوي من بني آساف كان عليه روح الرب في وسط الجماعة14 Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;
15 فقال اصغوا يا جميع يهوذا وسكان اورشليم وايها الملك يهوشافاط. هكذا قال الرب لكم لا تخافوا ولا ترتاعوا بسبب هذا الجمهور الكثير لان الحرب ليست لكم بل لله.15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
16 غدا انزلوا عليهم. هوذا هم صاعدون في عقبة صيص فتجدوهم في اقصى الوادي امام برية يروئيل.16 To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
17 ليس عليكم ان تحاربوا في هذه. قفوا اثبتوا وانظروا خلاص الرب معكم يا يهوذا واورشليم لا تخافوا ولا ترتاعوا. غدا اخرجوا للقائهم والرب معكم.17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.
18 فخرّ يهوشافاط لوجهه على الارض وكل يهوذا وسكان اورشليم سقطوا امام الرب سجودا للرب.18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.
19 فقام اللاويون من بني القهاتيين ومن بني القورحيين ليسبحوا الرب اله اسرائيل بصوت عظيم جدا19 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
20 وبكّروا صباحا وخرجوا الى برية تقوع وعند خروجهم وقف يهوشافاط وقال اسمعوا يا يهوذا وسكان اورشليم آمنوا بالرب الهكم فتأمنوا. آمنوا بانبيائه فتفلحوا.20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
21 ولما استشار الشعب اقام مغنين للرب ومسبحين في زينة مقدسة عند خروجهم امام المتجردين وقائلين احمدوا الرب لان الى الابد رحمته.21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.
22 ولما ابتدأوا في الغناء والتسبيح جعل الرب اكمنة على بني عمون وموآب وجبل ساعير الآتين على يهوذا فانكسروا22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
23 وقام بنو عمون وموآب على سكان جبل ساعير ليحرّموهم ويهلكوهم. ولما فرغوا من سكان ساعير ساعد بعضهم على اهلاك بعض.23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
24 ولما جاء يهوذا الى المرقب في البرية تطلعوا نحو الجمهور واذا هم جثث ساقطة على الارض ولم ينفلت احد.24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
25 فأتى يهوشافاط وشعبه لنهب اموالهم فوجدوا بينهم اموالا وجثثا وامتعة ثمينة بكثرة فاخذوها لانفسهم حتى لم يقدروا ان يحملوها وكانوا ثلاثة ايام ينهبون الغنيمة لانها كانت كثيرة.25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
26 وفي اليوم الرابع اجتمعوا في وادي بركة لانهم هناك باركوا الرب لذلك دعوا اسم ذلك المكان وادي بركة الى اليوم.26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
27 ثم ارتد كل رجال يهوذا واورشليم ويهوشافاط براسهم ليرجعوا الى اورشليم بفرح لان الرب فرحهم على اعدائهم.27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
28 ودخلوا اورشليم بالرباب والعيدان والابواق الى بيت الرب.28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.
29 وكانت هيبة الله على كل ممالك الاراضي حين سمعوا ان الرب حارب اعداء اسرائيل.29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 واستراحت مملكة يهوشافاط واراحه الهه من كل جهة30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.
31 وملك يهوشافاط على يهوذا. كان ابن خمس وثلاثين سنة حين ملك وملك خمس وعشرين سنة في اورشليم واسم امه عزوبة بنت شلحي.31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
32 وسار في طريق ابيه آسا ولم يحد عنها اذ عمل المستقيم في عيني الرب.32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.
33 الا ان المرتفعات لم تنتزع بل كان الشعب لم يعدّوا بعد قلوبهم لإله آبائهم.33 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.
34 وبقية امور يهوشافاط الاولى والاخيرة ها هي مكتوبة في اخبار ياهو بن حناني المذكور في سفر ملوك اسرائيل.34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.
35 ثم بعد ذلك اتحد يهوشافاط ملك يهوذا مع اخزيا ملك اسرائيل الذي اساء في عمله.35 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
36 فاتحد معه في عمل سفن تسير الى ترشيش فعملا السفن في عصيون جابر.36 And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
37 وتنبأ اليعزر بن دوداواهو من مريشة على يهوشافاط قائلا لانك اتحدت مع اخزيا قد اقتحم الرب اعمالك. فتكسرت السفن ولم تستطع السير الى ترشيش37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
