2 Cronache ( اخبار) 26

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 واخذ كل شعب يهوذا عزّيا وهو ابن ست عشرة سنة وملكوه عوضا عن ابيه امصيا.	1 And all the people of Juda took his son Ozias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of Amasias his father.
2 هو بنى ايلة وردها ليهوذا بعد اضطجاع الملك مع آبائه	2 He built Ailath, and restored it to the dominion of Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 كان عزّيا ابن ست عشرة سنة حين ملك وملك اثنتين وخمسين سنة في اورشليم. واسم امه يكليا من اورشليم.	3 Ozias was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
4 وعمل المستقيم في عيني الرب حسب كل ما عمل امصيا ابوه.	4 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father had done.
5 وكان يطلب الله في ايام زكريا الفاهم بمناظر الله وفي ايام طلبه الرب انجحه الله.	5 And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias that understood and saw God: and as long as he sought the Lord, he directed him in all things.
6 وخرج وحارب الفسطينيين وهدم سور جتّ وسور يبنة وسور اشدود وبنى مدنا في ارض اشدود والفلسطينيين.	6 Moreover he went forth and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Geth, and the wall of Jabnia, and the wall of Azotus: and he built towns in Azotus, and among the Philistines.
7 وساعده الله على الفلسطينيين وعلى العرب الساكنين في جور بعل والمعونيين.	7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, that dwelt in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
8 واعطى العمونيون عزّيا هدايا وامتد اسمه الى مدخل مصر لانه تشدد جدا.	8 And the ammonites gave gifts to Ozias: and his name was spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt for his frequent victories.
9 وبنى عزيا ابراجا في اورشليم عند باب الزاوية وعند باب الوادي وعند الزاوية وحصّنها.	9 And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem over the gate of the corner, and over the gate of the valley, and the rest, in the same side of the wall, and fortified them.
10 وبنى ابراجا في البرية وحفر آبارا كثيرة لانه كان له ماشية كثيرة في الساحل والسهل وفلاحون وكرامون في الجبال وفي الكرمل لانه كان يحب الفلاحة.	10 And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle both in the plains, and in the waste of the desert: he had also vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he was a man that loved husbandry.
11 وكان لعزيا جيش من المقاتلين يخرجون للحرب احزابا حسب عدد احصائهم عن يد يعيئيل الكاتب ومعسيا العريف تحت يد حننيا واحد من رؤساء الملك.	11 And the army of his fighting men, that went out to war, was under the hand of Jehiel the scribe, and Maasias the doctor, end under the hand of Henanias, who was one of the king's captains.
12 كل عدد رؤوس الآباء من جبابرة البأس الفان وست مئة.	12 And the whole number of the chiefs by the families of valiant men were two thousand six hundred.
13 وتحت يدهم جيش جنود ثلاث مئة الف وسبعة آلاف وخمس مئة من المقاتلين بقوة شديدة لمساعدة الملك على العدو.	13 And the whole army under them three hundred and seven thousand five hundred: who were fit for war, and fought for the king against the enemy.
14 وهيّأ لهم عزيا لكل الجيش اتراسا ورماحا وخوذا ودروعا وقسيا وحجارة مقاليع.	14 And Ozias prepared for them, that is, for the whole army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
15 وعمل في اورشليم منجنيقات اختراع مخترعين لتكون على الابراج وعلى الزوايا لترمى بها السهام والحجارة العظيمة وامتد اسمه الى بعيد اذ عجبت مساعدته حتى تشدد.	15 And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows, and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord helped him, and had strengthened him.
16 ولما تشدد ارتفع قلبه الى الهلاك وخان الرب الهه ودخل هيكل الرب ليوقد على مذبح البخور.	16 But when he was made strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction, and he neglected the Lord his God: and going into the temple of the Lord, he had a mind to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 ودخل وراءه عزريا الكاهن ومعه ثمانون من كهنة الرب بني البأس.	17 And immediately Azarias the priest going in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, most valiant men,
18 وقاوموا عزيا الملك وقالوا له ليس لك يا عزيا ان توقد للرب بل للكهنة بني هرون المقدسين للايقاد. اخرج من المقدس لانك خنت وليس لك من كرامة من عند الرب الاله.	18 Withstood the king and said: It doth not belong to thee, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but to the priests, that is, to the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated for this ministry: go out of the sanctuary, do not despise: for this thing shall not be accounted to thy glory by the Lord God.
19 فحنق عزيا وكان في يده مجمرة للايقاد وعند حنقه على الكهنة خرج برص في جبهته امام الكهنة في بيت الرب بجانب مذبح البخور.	19 And Ozias was angry, and holding in his hand the censer to burn incense, threatened the priests. And presently there rose a leprosy in his forehead before the priests, in the house of the Lord at the altar of incense.
20 فالتفت نحوه عزرياهو الكاهن الراس وكل الكهنة واذا هو ابرص في جبهته فطردوه من هناك حتى انه هو نفسه بادر الى الخروج لان الرب ضربه.	20 And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made haste to thrust him out. Yea himself also being frightened, hasted to go out, because he had quickly felt the stroke of the Lord.
21 وكان عزيا الملك ابرص الى يوم وفاته واقام في بيت المرض ابرص لانه قطع من بيت الرب وكان يوثام ابنه على بيت الملك يحكم على شعب الارض.	21 And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a house apart being full of the leprosy, for which he had been cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the king's house, and judged the people of the land.
22 وبقية امور عزيا الاولى والاخيرة كتبها اشعياء بن آموص النبي.	22 But the rest of the acts of Ozias first and last were written by Isaias the son of Amos, the prophet.
23 ثم اضطجع عزيا مع آبائه ودفنوه مع آبائه في حقل المقبرة التي للملوك لانهم قالوا انه ابرص. وملك يوثام ابنه عوضا عنه	23 And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchres, because he was a leper: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
