¹Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.

¹واخذ شعب الارض يهوآحاز بن يوشيا وملّكوه عوضا عن ابيه في اورشليم.

²Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

²وكان يوآحاز ابن ثلاث وعشرين سنة حين ملك وملك ثلاثة اشهر في اورشليم.

³And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

³وعزله ملك مصر في اورشليم وغرّم الارض بمئة وزنة من الفضة وبوزنة من الذهب.

⁴And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

⁴وملك ملك مصر الياقيم اخاه على يهوذا واورشليم وغيّر اسمه الى يهوياقيم. واما يوآحاز اخوه فاخذه نخو وأتى به الى مصر

⁵Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.

⁵كان يهوياقيم ابن خمس وعشرين سنة حين ملك وملك احدى عشر سنة في اورشليم وعمل الشر في عيني الرب الهه.

⁶Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

⁶عليه صعد نبوخذناصّر ملك بابل وقيّده بسلاسل نحاس ليذهب به الى بابل.

⁷Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

⁷وأتى نبوخذناصّر ببعض آنية بيت الرب الى بابل وجعلها في هيكله في بابل

⁸Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

⁸وبقية امور يهوياقيم ورجاساته التي عمل وما وجد فيه ها هي مكتوبة في سفر ملوك اسرائيل ويهوذا. وملك يهوياكين ابنه عوضا عنه

⁹Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

⁹كان يهوياكين ابن ثماني سنين حين ملك وملك ثلاثة اشهر وعشرة ايام في اورشليم. وعمل الشر في عيني الرب.

¹⁰And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

¹⁰وعند رجوع السنة ارسل الملك نبوخذناصّر فأتى به الى بابل مع آنية بيت الرب الثمينة وملك صدقيا اخاه على يهوذا واورشليم.

¹¹Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

¹¹كان صدقيا ابن احدى وعشرين سنة حين ملك وملك احدى عشرة سنة في اورشليم.

¹²And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.

¹²وعمل الشر في عيني الرب الهه ولم يتواضع امام ارميا النبي من فم الرب.

¹³And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.

¹³وتمرّد ايضا على الملك نبوخذناصّر الذي حلّفه بالله وصلّب عنقه وقوّى قلبه عن الرجوع الى الرب اله اسرائيل.

¹⁴Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

¹⁴حتى ان جميع رؤساء الكهنة والشعب اكثروا الخيانة حسب كل رجاسات الامم ونجسوا بيت الرب الذي قدسه في اورشليم.

¹⁵And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

¹⁵فارسل الرب اله آبائهم اليهم عن يد رسله مبكرا ومرسلا لانه شفق على شعبه وعلى مسكنه.

¹⁶But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

¹⁶فكانوا يهزأون برسل الله ورذلوا كلامه وتهاونوا بانبيائه حتى ثار غضب الرب على شعبه حتى لم يكن شفاء.

¹⁷Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.

¹⁷فاصعد عليهم ملك الكلدانيين فقتل مختاريهم بالسيف في بيت مقدسهم. ولم يشفق على فتى او عذراء ولا على شيخ او اشيب بل دفع الجميع ليده.

¹⁸And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.

¹⁸وجميع آنية بيت الله الكبيرة والصغيرة وخزائن بيت الرب وخزائن الملك ورؤسائه اتى بها جميعا الى بابل.

¹⁹And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.

¹⁹واحرقوا بيت الله وهدموا سور اورشليم واحرقوا جميع قصورها بالنار واهلكوا جميع آنيتها الثمينة.

²⁰And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

²⁰وسبى الذين بقوا من السيف الى بابل فكانوا له ولبنيه عبيدا الى ان ملكت مملكة فارس

²¹To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

²¹لاكمال كلام الرب بفم ارميا حتى استوفت الارض سبوتها لانها سبتت في كل ايام خرابها لاكمال سبعين سنة

²²Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

²²وفي السنة الاولى لكورش ملك فارس لاجل تكميل كلام الرب بفم ارميا نبّه الرب روح كورش ملك فارس فاطلق نداء في كل مملكته وكذا بالكتابة قائلا

²³Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.

²³هكذا قال كورش ملك فارس ان الرب اله السماء قد اعطاني جميع ممالك الارض وهو اوصاني ان ابني له بيتا في اورشليم التي في يهوذا. من منكم من جميع شعبه الرب الهه معه وليصعد
