¹وفي السنة الثامنة عشر للملك يربعام بن نباط ملك ابيام على يهوذا.

¹Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.

²ملك ثلاث سنين في اورشليم. واسم امه معكة ابنة ابشالوم.

²Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

³وسار في جميع خطايا ابيه التي عملها قبله ولم يكن قلبه كاملا مع الرب الهه كقلب داود ابيه.

³And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father.

⁴ولكن لاجل داود اعطاه الرب الهه سراجا في اورشليم اذ اقام ابنه بعده وثبت اورشليم.

⁴Nevertheless for David's sake did Jehovah his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;

⁵لان داود عمل ما هو مستقيم في عيني الرب ولم يحد عن شيء مما اوصاه به كل ايام حياته الا في قضية اوريا الحثّي.

⁵because David did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

⁶وكانت حرب بين رحبعام ويربعام كل ايام حياته.

⁶Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

⁷وبقية امور ابيام وكل ما عمل أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا. وكانت حرب بين ابيام ويربعام.

⁷And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

⁸ثم اضطجع ابيام مع آبائه فدفنوه في مدينة داود وملك آسا ابنه عوضا عنه

⁸And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

⁹وفي السنة العشرين ليربعام ملك اسرائيل ملك آسا على يهوذا.

⁹And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.

¹⁰ملك احدى واربعين سنة في اورشليم. واسم امه معكة ابنة ابشالوم.

¹⁰And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

¹¹وعمل آسا ما هو مستقيم في عيني الرب كداود ابيه.

¹¹And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, as did David his father.

¹²وازال المأبونين من الارض ونزع جميع الاصنام التي عملها آباؤه.

¹²And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

¹³حتى ان معكة امه خلعها من ان تكون ملكة لانها عملت تمثالا لسارية وقطع آسا تمثالها واحرقه في وادي قدرون.

¹³And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

¹⁴واما المرتفعات فلم تنزع الا ان قلب آسا كان كاملا مع الرب كل ايامه.

¹⁴But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Jehovah all his days.

¹⁵وادخل اقداس ابيه واقداسه الى بيت الرب من الفضة والذهب والآنية.

¹⁵And he brought into the house of Jehovah the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

¹⁶وكانت حرب بين آسا وبعشا ملك اسرائيل كل ايامهما.

¹⁶And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

¹⁷وصعد بعشا ملك اسرائيل على يهوذا وبنى الرامة لكي لا يدع احد يخرج او يدخل الى آسا ملك يهوذا.

¹⁷And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

¹⁸واخذ آسا جميع الفضة والذهب الباقية في خزائن بيت الرب وخزائن بيت الملك ودفعها ليد عبيده وارسلهم الملك آسا الى بنهدد بن طبريمون بن حزيون ملك ارام الساكن في دمشق قائلا

¹⁸Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

¹⁹ان بيني وبينك وبين ابي وابيك عهدا. هوذا قد ارسلت لك هدية من فضة وذهب فتعال انقض عهدك مع بعشا ملك اسرائيل فيصعد عني.

¹⁹[There is] a league between me and thee, between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

²⁰فسمع بنهدد للملك آسا وارسل رؤساء الجيوش التي له على مدن اسرائيل وضرب عيون ودان وآبل بيت معكة وكل كنّروت مع كل ارض نفتالي.

²⁰And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

²¹ولما سمع بعشا كف عن بناء الرامة واقام في ترصة.

²¹And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

²²فاستدعى الملك آسا كل يهوذا. لم يكن بريء. فحملوا كل حجارة الرامة واخشابها التي بناها بعشا وبنى بها الملك آسا جبع بنيامين والمصفاة.

²²Then king Asa made a proclamation unto all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

²³وبقية كل امور آسا وكل جبروته وكل ما فعل والمدن التي بناها أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا. غير انه في زمان شيخوخته مرض في رجليه.

²³Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

²⁴ثم اضطجع آسا مع آبائه ودفن مع آبائه في مدينة داود ابيه وملك يهوشافاط ابنه عوضا عنه

²⁴And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

²⁵وملك ناداب بن يربعام على اسرائيل في السنة الثانية لآسا ملك يهوذا فملك على اسرائيل سنتين.

²⁵And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.

²⁶وعمل الشر في عيني الرب وسار في طريق ابيه وفي خطيته التي جعل بها اسرائيل يخطئ.

²⁶And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

²⁷وفتن عليه بعشا بن اخيا من بيت يساكر وضربه بعشا في جبثون التي للفلسطينيين وكان ناداب وكل اسرائيل محاصرين جبثون.

²⁷And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

²⁸واماته بعشا في السنة الثالثة لآسا ملك يهوذا وملك عوضا عنه.

²⁸Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.

²⁹ولما ملك ضرب كل بيت يربعام. لم يبق نسمة ليربعام حتى افناهم حسب كلام الرب الذي تكلم به عن يد عبده اخيا الشيلوني.

²⁹And it came to pass that, as soon as he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam: he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him; according unto the saying of Jehovah, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

³⁰لاجل خطايا يربعام التي اخطأها والتي جعل بها اسرائيل يخطئ باغاظته التي اغاظ بها الرب اله اسرائيل.

³⁰for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation wherewith he provoked Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger.

³¹وبقية أمور ناداب وكل ما عمل أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك اسرائيل.

³¹Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

³²وكانت حرب بين آسا وبعشا ملك اسرائيل كل ايامهما

³²And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

³³في السنة الثالثة لآسا ملك يهوذا ملك بعشا بن اخيا على جميع اسرائيل في ترصة اربعا وعشرين سنة.

³³In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, [and reigned] twenty and four years.

³⁴وعمل الشر في عيني الرب وسار في طريق يربعام وفي خطيته التي جعل بها اسرائيل يخطئ

³⁴And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
