2 Kings 25

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, he and all his army against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: end raised works round about it.	1 وفي السنة التاسعة لملكه في الشهر العاشر في عاشر الشهر جاء نبوخذناصّر ملك بابل هو وكل جيشه على اورشليم ونزل عليها وبنوا عليها ابراجا حولها.
2 And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,	2 ودخلت المدينة تحت الحصار الى السنة الحادية عشرة للملك صدقيا.
3 The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.	3 في تاسع الشهر اشتد الجوع في المدينة ولم يكن خبز لشعب الارض.
4 And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king's garden, (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about,) and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness.	4 فثغرت المدينة وهرب جميع رجال القتال ليلا من طريق الباب بين السورين اللذين نحو جنة الملك. وكان الكلدانيون حول المدينة مستديرين. فذهبوا في طريق البرية.
5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all the warriors that were with him were scattered, and left him:	5 فتبعت جيوش الكلدانيين الملك فادركوه في برية اريحا وتفرقت جميع جيوشه عنه.
6 So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon him.	6 فأخذوا الملك واصعدوه الى ملك بابل الى ربلة وكلموه بالقضاء عليه.
7 And he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought him to Babylon.	7 وقتلوا بني صدقيا امام عينيه. وقلعوا عيني صدقيا وقيدوه بسلسلتين من نحاس وجاءوا به الى بابل
8 In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem.	8 وفي الشهر الخامس في سابع الشهر وهي السنة التاسعة عشرة للملك نبوخذناصّر ملك بابل جاء نبوزرادان رئيس الشرط عبد ملك بابل الى اورشليم.
9 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every house he burnt with fire.	9 واحرق بيت الرب وبيت الملك وكل بيوت اورشليم وكل بيوت العظماء احرقها بالنار.
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, which was with the commander of the troops, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.	10 وجميع اسوار اورشليم مستديرا هدمها كل جيوش الكلدانيين الذين مع رئيس الشرط.
11 And Nabuzardan the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.	11 وبقية الشعب الذين بقوا في المدينة والهاربون الذين هربوا الى ملك بابل وبقية الجمهور سباهم نبوزرادان رئيس الشرط.
12 But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines and husbandmen.	12 ولكن رئيس الشرط ابقى من مساكين الارض كرامين وفلاحين.
13 And the pillars of brass that were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldees broke in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.	13 واعمدة النحاس التي في بيت الرب والقواعد وبحر النحاس الذي في بيت الرب كسّرها الكلدانيون وحملوا نحاسها الى بابل.
14 They took away also the pots of brass, and the mazers, and the forks, and the cups, and the mortars, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.	14 والقدور والرفوش والمقاص والصحون وجميع آنية النحاس التي كانوا يخدمون بها اخذوها
15 Moreover also the censers, and the bowls, such as were of gold in gold, and such as were of silver in silver, the general of the army took away.	15 والمجامر والمناضح. ما كان من ذهب فالذهب وما كان من فضة فالفضة اخذها رئيس الشرط.
16 That is, two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made in the temple of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.	16 والعمودان والبحر الواحد والقواعد التي عملها سليمان لبيت الرب لم يكن وزن لنحاس كل هذه الادوات.
17 One pillar was eighteen cubits high, and the chapiter of brass which was upon it was three cubits high: and the network, and the pomegranates that were upon the chapiter of the pillar, were all of brass: and the second pillar had the like adorning.	17 ثماني عشرة ذراعا ارتفاع العمود الواحد وعليه تاج من نحاس وارتفاع التاج ثلاث اذرع والشبكة والرمانات التي على التاج مستديرة جميعها من نحاس. وكان للعمود الثاني مثل هذه على الشبكة
18 And the general of the army took Seraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and three doorkeepers.	18 واخذ رئيس الشرط سرايا الكاهن الرئيس وصفنيا الكاهن الثاني وحارسي الباب الثلاثة.
19 And out of the city one eunuch, who was captain over the men of war: and five men of them that had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher the captain of the army who exercised the young soldiers of the people of the land: and threescore men of the common people, who were found in the city.	19 ومن المدينة اخذ خصيا واحدا كان وكيلا على رجال الحرب وخمسة رجال من الذين ينظرون وجه الملك الذين وجدوا في المدينة وكاتب رئيس الجند الذي كان يجمع شعب الارض وستين رجلا من شعب الارض الموجودين في المدينة
20 These Nabuzardan the general of the army took away, and carried them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.	20 واخذهم نبوزرادان رئيس الشرط وسار بهم الى ملك بابل الى ربلة.
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Reblatha in the land of Emath: so Juda was carried away out of their land.	21 فضربهم ملك بابل وقتلهم في ربلة في ارض حماة. فسبي يهوذا من ارضه
22 But over the people that remained in the land of Juda, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had left, he gave the government to Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan.	22 واما الشعب الذي بقي في ارض يهوذا الذين ابقاهم نبوخذناصّر ملك بابل فوكّل عليهم جدليا بن اخيقام بن شافان.
23 And when all the captains of the soldiers had heard this, they and the men that were with them, to wit, that the king of Babylon had made Godolias governor, they came to Godolias to Maspha, Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Saraia the son of Thanehumeth the Netophathite, and Jezonias the son of Maachathi, they and their men.	23 ولما سمع جميع رؤساء الجيوش هم ورجالهم ان ملك بابل قد وكّل جدليا أتوا الى جدليا الى المصفاة وهم اسماعيل بن نثنيا ويوحنان بن قاريح وسرايا بن تنحومث النطوفاتي ويازنيا ابن المعكي هم ورجالهم.
24 And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying : Be not afraid to serve the Chaldees: stay in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.	24 وحلف جدليا لهم ولرجالهم وقال لهم لا تخافوا من عبيد الكلدانيين. اسكنوا الارض وتعبّدوا لملك بابل فيكون لكم خير.
25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismael the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the seed royal came, and ten men with him: and smote Godolias so that he died: and also the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him in Maspha.	25 وفي الشهر السابع جاء اسماعيل بن نثنيا بن اليشمع من النسل الملكي وعشرة رجال معه وضربوا جدليا فمات وايضا اليهود والكلدانيين الذين معه في المصفاة.
26 And all the people both little and great, and the captains of the soldiers, rising up went to Egypt, fearing the Chaldees.	26 فقام جميع الشعب من الصغير الى الكبير ورؤساء الجيوش وجاءوا الى مصر لانهم خافوا من الكلدانيين
27 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month the seven and twentieth day of the month: Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda out of prison.	27 وفي السنة السابعة والثلاثين لسبي يهوياكين ملك يهوذا في الشهر الثاني عشر في السابع والعشرين من الشهر رفع اويل مرودخ ملك بابل في سنة تملكه راس يهوياكين ملك يهوذا من السجن
28 And he spoke kindly to him: and he set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.	28 وكلمه بخير وجعل كرسيه فوق كراسي الملوك الذين معه في بابل.
29 And he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, all the days of his life.	29 وغيّر ثياب سجنه وكان ياكل دائما الخبز امامه كل ايام حياته.
30 And he appointed him a continual allowance, which was also given him by the king day by day, all the days of his life.	30 ووظيفته وظيفة دائمة تعطى له من عند الملك امر كل يوم بيومه كل ايام حياته
