¹In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.

¹في السنة الثالثة والعشرين ليوآش بن اخزيا ملك يهوذا ملك يهوآحاز بن ياهو على اسرائيل في السامرة سبع عشرة سنة.

²And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.

²وعمل الشر في عيني الرب وسار وراء خطايا يربعام بن نباط الذي جعل اسرائيل يخطئ. لم يحد عنها.

³And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days.

³فحمي غضب الرب على اسرائيل فدفعهم ليد حزائيل ملك ارام وليد بنهدد بن حزائيل كل الايام.

⁴And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.

⁴وتضرع يهوآحاز الى وجه الرب فسمع له الرب لانه رأى ضيق اسرائيل لان ملك ارام ضايقهم.

⁵(And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.

⁵واعطى الرب اسرائيل مخلصا فخرجوا من تحت يد الاراميين واقام بنو اسرائيل في خيامهم كامس وما قبله.

⁶Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)

⁶ولكنهم لم يحيدوا عن خطايا بيت يربعام الذي جعل اسرائيل يخطئ بل ساروا بها ووقفت السارية ايضا في السامرة.

⁷Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.

⁷لانه لم يبق ليهوآحاز شعبا الا خمسين فارسا وعشر مركبات وعشرة آلاف راجل لان ملك ارام افناهم ووضعهم كالتراب للدوس.

⁸Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

⁸وبقية امور يهوآحاز وكل ما عمل وجبروته أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل.

⁹And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead.

⁹ثم اضطجع يهوآحاز مع آبائه فدفنوه في السامرة وملك يوآش ابنه عوضا عنه

¹⁰In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years.

¹⁰وفي السنة السابعة والثلاثين ليوآش ملك يهوذا ملك يهوآش بن يهوآحاز على اسرائيل في السامرة ست عشرة سنة.

¹¹And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein.

¹¹وعمل الشر في عيني الرب ولم يحد عن جميع خطايا يربعام بن نباط الذي جعل اسرائيل يخطئ بل سار بها.

¹²And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹²وبقية امور يوآش وكل ما عمل وجبروته وكيف حارب امصيا ملك يهوذا أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل.

¹³And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

¹³ثم اضطجع يوآش مع آبائه وجلس يربعام على كرسيه. ودفن يوآش في السامرة مع ملوك اسرائيل

¹⁴Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.

¹⁴ومرض اليشع مرضه الذي مات به. فنزل اليه يوآش ملك اسرائيل وبكى على وجهه وقال يا ابي يا ابي يا مركبة اسرائيل وفرسانها.

¹⁵And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.

¹⁵فقال له اليشع خذ قوسا وسهاما. فاخذ لنفسه قوسا وسهاما.

¹⁶And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands.

¹⁶ثم قال لملك اسرائيل ركب يدك على القوس. فركب يده ثم وضع اليشع يده على يدي الملك.

¹⁷And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.

¹⁷وقال افتح الكوّة لجهة الشرق. ففتحها فقال اليشع ارم. فرمى فقال سهم خلاص للرب وسهم خلاص من ارام فانك تضرب ارام في افيق الى الفناء.

¹⁸And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.

¹⁸ثم قال خذ السهام. فأخذها. ثم قال لملك اسرائيل اضرب على الارض. فضرب ثلاث مرّات ووقف.

¹⁹And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.

¹⁹فغضب عليه رجل الله وقال لو ضربت خمس او ست مرّات حينئذ ضربت ارام الى الفناء. واما الآن فانك انما تضرب ارام ثلاث مرات.

²⁰And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

²⁰ومات اليشع فدفنوه. وكان غزاة موآب تدخل على الارض عند دخول السنة.

²¹And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

²¹وفيما كانوا يدفنون رجلا اذا بهم قد رأوا الغزاة فطرحوا الرجل في قبر اليشع فلما نزل الرجل ومس عظام اليشع عاش وقام على رجليه

²²But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

²²واما حزائيل ملك ارام فضايق اسرائيل كل ايام يهوآحاز.

²³And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.

²³فحنّ الرب عليهم ورحمهم والتفت اليهم لاجل عهده مع ابراهيم واسحق ويعقوب ولم يشأ ان يستأصلهم ولم يطرحهم عن وجهه حتى الآن.

²⁴So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead.

²⁴ثم مات حزائيل ملك ارام وملك بنهدد ابنه عوضا عنه

²⁵And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.

²⁵فعاد يهوآش بن يهوآحاز واخذ المدن من يد بنهدد بن حزائيل التي اخذها من يد يهوآحاز ابيه بالحرب. ضربه يوآش ثلاث مرات واسترد مدن اسرائيل
