2 Cronache ( اخبار) 16

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 في السنة السادسة والثلاثين لملك آسا صعد بعشا ملك اسرائيل على يهوذا وبنى الرامة لكيلا يدع احدا يخرج او يدخل الى آسا ملك يهوذا.	1 And in the six and thirtieth year of his kingdom, Baasa the king of Israel came up against Juda, and built a wall about Rama, that no one might safely go out or come in of the kingdom of Asa.
2 واخرج آسا فضة وذهبا من خزائن بيت الرب وبيت الملك وارسل الى بنهدد ملك ارام الساكن في دمشق قائلا	2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king's treasures, and sent to Benadad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:
3 ان بيني وبينك وبين ابي وابيك عهدا. هوذا قد ارسلت لك فضة وذهبا فتعال انقض عهدك مع بعشا ملك اسرائيل فيصعد عني.	3 There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father, wherefore I have sent thee silver and gold, that thou mayst break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, and make him depart from me.
4 فسمع بنهدد للملك آسا وارسل رؤساء الجيوش التي له على مدن اسرائيل فضربوا عيون ودان وآبل المياه وجميع مخازن مدن نفتالي.	4 And then Benadad heard this, he sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel: and they took Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Nephtali.
5 فلما سمع بعشا كف عن بناء الرامة وترك عمله.	5 And when Baasa heard of it, he left off the building of Rama, and interrupted his work.
6 فاخذ آسا الملك كل يهوذا فحملوا حجارة الرامة واخشابها التي بنى بها بعشا وبنى بها جبع والمصفاة	6 Then king Asa took all Juda, and they carried away from Rama the stones, and the timber that Baasa had prepared for the building: and he built with them Gabaa, and Maspha.
7 وفي ذلك الزمان جاء حناني الرائي الى آسا ملك يهوذا وقال له من اجل انك استندت على ملك ارام ولم تستند على الرب الهك لذلك قد نجا جيش ملك ارام من يدك.	7 At that time Hanani the prophet came to Asa king of Juda, and said to him: Because thou hast had confidence in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord thy God, therefore hath the army of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand.
8 ألم يكن الكوشيون واللوبيون جيشا كثيرا بمركبات وفرسان كثيرة جدا. فمن اجل انك استندت على الرب دفعهم ليدك.	8 Were not the Ethiopians, and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceeding great multitude: yet because thou trustedst in the Lord, he delivered them into thy hand?
9 لان عيني الرب تجولان في كل الارض ليتشدد مع الذين قلوبهم كاملة نحوه. فقد حمقت في هذا حتى انه من الآن تكون عليك حروب.	9 For the eyes of the Lord behold all the earth, and give strength to those who with a perfect heart trust in him. Wherefore thou hast done foolishly, and for this cause from this time wars shall arise against thee.
10 فغضب آسا على الرائي ووضعه في السجن لانه اغتاظ منه من اجل هذا. وضايق آسا بعضا من الشعب في ذلك الوقت.	10 And Asa was angry with the seer, and commanded him to be put in prison: for he was greatly enraged because of this thing: and he put to death many of the people at that time.
11 وأمور آسا الاولى والاخيرة ها هي مكتوبة في سفر الملوك ليهوذا واسرائيل.	11 But the works of Asa the first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
12 ومرض آسا في السنة التاسعة والثلاثين من ملكه في رجليه حتى اشتد مرضه وفي مرضه ايضا لم يطلب الرب بل الاطباء.	12 And Asa fell sick in the nine and thirtieth year of his reign, of a most violent pain in his feet, and yet in his illness he did not seek the Lord, but rather trusted in the skill of physicians.
13 ثم اضطجع آسا مع آبائه ومات في السنة الحادية والاربعين لملكه	13 And he slept with his fathers: and he died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
14 فدفنوه في قبوره التي حفرها لنفسه في مدينة داود واضجعوه في سرير كان مملوّا اطيابا واصنافا عطرة حسب صناعة العطارة واحرقوا له حريقة عظيمة جدا	14 And they buried him in his own sepulchre, which he had made for himself in the city of David: and they laid him on his bed full of spices and odoriferous ointments, which were made by the art of the perfumers, and they burnt them over him with very great pomp.
