2 Kings 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 In the twenty-third year of Joash, son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, began his seventeen-year reign over Israel in Samaria.	1 في السنة الثالثة والعشرين ليوآش بن اخزيا ملك يهوذا ملك يهوآحاز بن ياهو على اسرائيل في السامرة سبع عشرة سنة.
2 He did evil in the LORD'S sight, conducting himself like Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and not renouncing the sin he had caused Israel to commit.	2 وعمل الشر في عيني الرب وسار وراء خطايا يربعام بن نباط الذي جعل اسرائيل يخطئ. لم يحد عنها.
3 The LORD was angry with Israel and for a long time left them in the power of Hazael, king of Aram, and of Ben-hadad, son of Hazael.	3 فحمي غضب الرب على اسرائيل فدفعهم ليد حزائيل ملك ارام وليد بنهدد بن حزائيل كل الايام.
4 Then Jehoahaz entreated the LORD, who heard him, since he saw the oppression to which the king of Aram had subjected Israel.	4 وتضرع يهوآحاز الى وجه الرب فسمع له الرب لانه رأى ضيق اسرائيل لان ملك ارام ضايقهم.
5 So the LORD gave Israel a savior, and the Israelites, freed from the power of Aram, dwelt in their own homes as formerly.	5 واعطى الرب اسرائيل مخلصا فخرجوا من تحت يد الاراميين واقام بنو اسرائيل في خيامهم كامس وما قبله.
6 Nevertheless, they did not desist from the sins which the house of Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit, but persisted in them. The sacred pole also remained standing in Samaria.	6 ولكنهم لم يحيدوا عن خطايا بيت يربعام الذي جعل اسرائيل يخطئ بل ساروا بها ووقفت السارية ايضا في السامرة.
7 No soldiers were left to Jehoahaz, except fifty horsemen with ten chariots and ten thousand foot soldiers, since the king of Aram had destroyed them and trampled them like dust.	7 لانه لم يبق ليهوآحاز شعبا الا خمسين فارسا وعشر مركبات وعشرة آلاف راجل لان ملك ارام افناهم ووضعهم كالتراب للدوس.
8 The rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, with all his valor and accomplishments, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.	8 وبقية امور يهوآحاز وكل ما عمل وجبروته أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل.
9 Jehoahaz rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria. His son Joash succeeded him as king.	9 ثم اضطجع يهوآحاز مع آبائه فدفنوه في السامرة وملك يوآش ابنه عوضا عنه
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash, king of Judah, Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, began his sixteen-year reign over Israel in Samaria.	10 وفي السنة السابعة والثلاثين ليوآش ملك يهوذا ملك يهوآش بن يهوآحاز على اسرائيل في السامرة ست عشرة سنة.
11 He did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not desist from any of the sins which Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had caused Israel to commit, but persisted in them.	11 وعمل الشر في عيني الرب ولم يحد عن جميع خطايا يربعام بن نباط الذي جعل اسرائيل يخطئ بل سار بها.
12 (The rest of the acts of Joash, the valor with which he fought against Amaziah, king of Judah, and all his accomplishments, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.	12 وبقية امور يوآش وكل ما عمل وجبروته وكيف حارب امصيا ملك يهوذا أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل.
13 Joash rested with his ancestors, and Jeroboam occupied the throne. Joash was buried with the kings of Israel in Samaria.)	13 ثم اضطجع يوآش مع آبائه وجلس يربعام على كرسيه. ودفن يوآش في السامرة مع ملوك اسرائيل
14 When Elisha was suffering from the sickness of which he was to die, King Joash of Israel went down to visit him. "My father, my father!" he exclaimed, weeping over him. "Israel's chariots and horsemen!"	14 ومرض اليشع مرضه الذي مات به. فنزل اليه يوآش ملك اسرائيل وبكى على وجهه وقال يا ابي يا ابي يا مركبة اسرائيل وفرسانها.
15 "Take a bow and some arrows," Elisha said to him. When he had done so,	15 فقال له اليشع خذ قوسا وسهاما. فاخذ لنفسه قوسا وسهاما.
16 Elisha said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow." As the king held the bow, Elisha placed his hands over the king's hands	16 ثم قال لملك اسرائيل ركب يدك على القوس. فركب يده ثم وضع اليشع يده على يدي الملك.
17 and said, "Open the window toward the east." He opened it. Elisha said, "Shoot," and he shot. The prophet exclaimed, "The LORD'S arrow of victory! The arrow of victory over Aram! You will completely conquer Aram at Aphec."	17 وقال افتح الكوّة لجهة الشرق. ففتحها فقال اليشع ارم. فرمى فقال سهم خلاص للرب وسهم خلاص من ارام فانك تضرب ارام في افيق الى الفناء.
18 Then he said to the king of Israel, "Take the arrows," which he did. Elisha said to him, "Strike the ground!" He struck the ground three times and stopped.	18 ثم قال خذ السهام. فأخذها. ثم قال لملك اسرائيل اضرب على الارض. فضرب ثلاث مرّات ووقف.
19 Angry with him, the man of God said: "You should have struck five or six times; you would have defeated Aram completely. Now, you will defeat Aram only three times."	19 فغضب عليه رجل الله وقال لو ضربت خمس او ست مرّات حينئذ ضربت ارام الى الفناء. واما الآن فانك انما تضرب ارام ثلاث مرات.
20 Elisha died and was buried. At the time, bands of Moabites used to raid the land each year.	20 ومات اليشع فدفنوه. وكان غزاة موآب تدخل على الارض عند دخول السنة.
21 Once some people were burying a man, when suddenly they spied such a raiding band. So they cast the dead man into the grave of Elisha, and everyone went off. But when the man came in contact with the bones of Elisha, he came back to life and rose to his feet.	21 وفيما كانوا يدفنون رجلا اذا بهم قد رأوا الغزاة فطرحوا الرجل في قبر اليشع فلما نزل الرجل ومس عظام اليشع عاش وقام على رجليه
22 King Hazael of Aram oppressed Israel during the entire reign of Jehoahaz.	22 واما حزائيل ملك ارام فضايق اسرائيل كل ايام يهوآحاز.
23 But the LORD was merciful with Israel and looked on them with compassion because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He was unwilling to destroy them or to cast them out from his presence.	23 فحنّ الرب عليهم ورحمهم والتفت اليهم لاجل عهده مع ابراهيم واسحق ويعقوب ولم يشأ ان يستأصلهم ولم يطرحهم عن وجهه حتى الآن.
24 So when King Hazael of Aram died and his son Ben-hadad succeeded him as king,	24 ثم مات حزائيل ملك ارام وملك بنهدد ابنه عوضا عنه
25 Joash, son of Jehoahaz, took back from Ben-hadad, son of Hazael, the cities which Hazael had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Joash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and thus recovered the cities of Israel.	25 فعاد يهوآش بن يهوآحاز واخذ المدن من يد بنهدد بن حزائيل التي اخذها من يد يهوآحاز ابيه بالحرب. ضربه يوآش ثلاث مرات واسترد مدن اسرائيل
