2 Cronache ( اخبار) 36

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 واخذ شعب الارض يهوآحاز بن يوشيا وملّكوه عوضا عن ابيه في اورشليم.	1 Then the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of his father in Jerusalem.
2 وكان يوآحاز ابن ثلاث وعشرين سنة حين ملك وملك ثلاثة اشهر في اورشليم.	2 Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 وعزله ملك مصر في اورشليم وغرّم الارض بمئة وزنة من الفضة وبوزنة من الذهب.	3 And the king of Egypt came to Jerusalem, and deposed him, and condemned the land in a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
4 وملك ملك مصر الياقيم اخاه على يهوذا واورشليم وغيّر اسمه الى يهوياقيم. واما يوآحاز اخوه فاخذه نخو وأتى به الى مصر	4 And he made Eliakim his brother king in his stead, over Juda and Jerusalem: and he turned his name to Joakim: but he took Joachaz with him, and carried him away into Egypt.
5 كان يهوياقيم ابن خمس وعشرين سنة حين ملك وملك احدى عشر سنة في اورشليم وعمل الشر في عيني الرب الهه.	5 Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did evil before the Lord his God.
6 عليه صعد نبوخذناصّر ملك بابل وقيّده بسلاسل نحاس ليذهب به الى بابل.	6 Against him came up Nabuchodonosor king of the Chaldeans, and led him bound in chains into Babylon.
7 وأتى نبوخذناصّر ببعض آنية بيت الرب الى بابل وجعلها في هيكله في بابل	7 And he carried also thither the vessels of the Lord, and put them in his temple.
8 وبقية امور يهوياقيم ورجاساته التي عمل وما وجد فيه ها هي مكتوبة في سفر ملوك اسرائيل ويهوذا. وملك يهوياكين ابنه عوضا عنه	8 But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and his abominations, which he wrought, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. And Joachin his son reigned in his stead.
9 كان يهوياكين ابن ثماني سنين حين ملك وملك ثلاثة اشهر وعشرة ايام في اورشليم. وعمل الشر في عيني الرب.	9 Joachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
10 وعند رجوع السنة ارسل الملك نبوخذناصّر فأتى به الى بابل مع آنية بيت الرب الثمينة وملك صدقيا اخاه على يهوذا واورشليم.	10 And at the return of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, carrying away at the same time the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Sedecias his uncle king over Juda and Jerusalem.
11 كان صدقيا ابن احدى وعشرين سنة حين ملك وملك احدى عشرة سنة في اورشليم.	11 Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 وعمل الشر في عيني الرب الهه ولم يتواضع امام ارميا النبي من فم الرب.	12 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God, and did not reverence the face of Jeremias the prophet speaking to him from the mouth of the Lord.
13 وتمرّد ايضا على الملك نبوخذناصّر الذي حلّفه بالله وصلّب عنقه وقوّى قلبه عن الرجوع الى الرب اله اسرائيل.	13 Re also revolted from king Nabuchodonosor, who had made him swear by God: and he hardened his neck and his heart, from returning to the Lord the God of Israel.
14 حتى ان جميع رؤساء الكهنة والشعب اكثروا الخيانة حسب كل رجاسات الامم ونجسوا بيت الرب الذي قدسه في اورشليم.	14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people wickedly transgressed according to all the abominations of the Gentiles: and they defiled the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem.
15 فارسل الرب اله آبائهم اليهم عن يد رسله مبكرا ومرسلا لانه شفق على شعبه وعلى مسكنه.	15 And the Lord the God of their fathers sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising early, and daily admonishing them: because he spared his people and his dwelling place.
16 فكانوا يهزأون برسل الله ورذلوا كلامه وتهاونوا بانبيائه حتى ثار غضب الرب على شعبه حتى لم يكن شفاء.	16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused the prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and there was no remedy.
17 فاصعد عليهم ملك الكلدانيين فقتل مختاريهم بالسيف في بيت مقدسهم. ولم يشفق على فتى او عذراء ولا على شيخ او اشيب بل دفع الجميع ليده.	17 For he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, he had no compassion on young man, or maiden, old man or even him that stooped for age, but he delivered them all into his hands.
18 وجميع آنية بيت الله الكبيرة والصغيرة وخزائن بيت الرب وخزائن الملك ورؤسائه اتى بها جميعا الى بابل.	18 And all the vessels of the house of the Lord, great and small, and the treasures of the temple and of the king, and of the princes he carried away to Babylon.
19 واحرقوا بيت الله وهدموا سور اورشليم واحرقوا جميع قصورها بالنار واهلكوا جميع آنيتها الثمينة.	19 And the enemies set fire to the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burnt all the towers, and whatsoever was precious they destroyed.
20 وسبى الذين بقوا من السيف الى بابل فكانوا له ولبنيه عبيدا الى ان ملكت مملكة فارس	20 Whosoever escaped the sword, was led into Babylon, and there served the king and his sons till the reign of the king of Persia.
21 لاكمال كلام الرب بفم ارميا حتى استوفت الارض سبوتها لانها سبتت في كل ايام خرابها لاكمال سبعين سنة	21 That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, and the land might keep her sabbaths: for all the days of the desolation she kept a sabbath, till the seventy years were expired.
22 وفي السنة الاولى لكورش ملك فارس لاجل تكميل كلام الرب بفم ارميا نبّه الرب روح كورش ملك فارس فاطلق نداء في كل مملكته وكذا بالكتابة قائلا	22 But in the first year d of Cyrus king of the Persians, to fulfil the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus king of the Persians who commanded it to be proclaimed through all his kingdom, and by writing also, saying:
23 هكذا قال كورش ملك فارس ان الرب اله السماء قد اعطاني جميع ممالك الارض وهو اوصاني ان ابني له بيتا في اورشليم التي في يهوذا. من منكم من جميع شعبه الرب الهه معه وليصعد	23 Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given to me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea: who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
