2 Re ( ملوك) 12

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 في السنة السابعة لياهو ملك يهوآش. ملك اربعين سنة في اورشليم. واسم امه ظبية من بئر سبع.	1 Joash was seven years old when he became king.
2 وعمل يهوآش ما هو مستقيم في عيني الرب كل ايامه التي فيها علمه يهوياداع الكاهن.	2 Joash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother, who was named Zibiah, was from Beer-sheba.
3 الا ان المرتفعات لم تنتزع بل كان الشعب لا يزالون يذبحون ويوقدون على المرتفعات.	3 Joash did what was pleasing to the LORD as long as he lived, because the priest Jehoiada guided him.
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 Still, the high places did not disappear; the people continued to sacrifice and to burn incense there.
5 ليأخذها الكهنة لانفسهم كل واحد من عند صاحبه وهم يرمّمون ما تهدم من البيت كل ما وجد فيه متهدما.	5 For the priests Joash made this rule: "All the funds for sacred purposes that are brought to the temple of the LORD--the census tax, personal redemption money, and whatever funds are freely brought to the temple of the LORD--
6 وفي السنة الثالثة والعشرين للملك يهوآش لم تكن الكهنة رمّموا ما تهدم من البيت.	6 the priests may take for themselves, each from his own clients. However, they must make whatever repairs on the temple may prove necessary."
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 Nevertheless, as late as the twenty-third year of the reign of King Joash, the priests had not made needed repairs on the temple.
8 فوافق الكهنة على ان لا يأخذوا فضة من الشعب ولا يرمّموا ما تهدّم من البيت.	8 Accordingly, King Joash summoned the priest Jehoiada and the other priests. "Why do you not repair the temple?" he asked them. "You must no longer take funds from your clients, but you shall turn them over for the repairs."
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 So the priests agreed that they would neither take funds from the people nor make the repairs on the temple.
10 وكان لما رأوا الفضة قد كثرت في الصندوق انه صعد كاتب الملك والكاهن العظيم وصرّوا وحسبوا الفضة الموجودة في بيت الرب.	10 The priest Jehoiada then took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the stele, on the right as one entered the temple of the LORD. The priests who guarded the entry would put into it all the funds that were brought to the temple of the LORD.
11 ودفعوا الفضة المحسوبة الى ايدي عاملي الشغل الموكلين على بيت الرب وانفقوها للنجارين والبنائين العاملين في بيت الرب	11 When they noticed that there was a large amount of silver in the chest, the royal scribe (and the priest) would come up, and they would melt down all the funds that were in the temple of the LORD, and weigh them.
12 ولبنائي الحيطان ونحّاتي الحجارة ولشراء الاخشاب والحجارة المنحوتة لترميم ما تهدّم من بيت الرب ولكل ما ينفق على البيت لترميمه.	12 The amount thus realized they turned over to the master workmen in the temple of the LORD. They in turn would give it to the carpenters and builders working in the temple of the LORD,
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 and to the lumbermen and stone cutters, and for the purchase of the wood and hewn stone used in repairing the breaches, and for any other expenses that were necessary to repair the temple.
14 بل كانوا يدفعونها لعاملي الشغل فكانوا يرمّمون بها بيت الرب.	14 None of the funds brought to the temple of the LORD were used there to make silver cups, snuffers, basins, trumpets, or any gold or silver article.
15 ولم يحاسبوا الرجال الذين سلموهم الفضة بايديهم لكي يعطوها لعاملي الشغل لانهم كانوا يعملون بامانة.	15 Instead, they were given to the workmen, and with them they repaired the temple of the LORD.
16 واما فضة ذبيحة الاثم وفضة ذبيحة الخطية فلم تدخل الى بيت الرب بل كانت للكهنة	16 Moreover, no reckoning was asked of the men who were provided with the funds to give to the workmen, because they held positions of trust.
17 حينئذ صعد حزائيل ملك ارام وحارب جتّ واخذها. ثم حول حزائيل وجهه ليصعد الى اورشليم.	17 The funds from guilt-offerings and from sin-offerings, however, were not brought to the temple of the LORD; they belonged to the priests.
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 Then King Hazael of Aram mounted a siege against Gath. When he had taken it, Hazael decided to go on to attack Jerusalem.
19 وبقية امور يوآش وكل ما عمل أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا.	19 But King Jehoash of Judah took all the dedicated offerings presented by his forebears, Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, kings of Judah, as well as his own, and all the gold there was in the treasuries of the temple and the palace, and sent them to King Hazael of Aram, who then led his forces away from Jerusalem.
20 وقام عبيده وفتنوا فتنة وقتلوا يوآش في بيت القلعة حيث ينزل الى سّلى.	20 The rest of the acts of Joash, with all that he did, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
21 لان يوزاكار بن شمعة ويهوزاباد بن شومير عبديه ضرباه فمات فدفنوه مع آبائه في مدينة داود وملك امصيا ابنه عوضا عنه	21 Certain of his officials entered into a plot against him and killed him at Beth-millo.
	22 Jozacar, son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, son of Shomer, were the officials who killed him. He was buried in his forefathers' City of David, and his son Amaziah succeeded him as king.
