¹ملك حزقيا وهو ابن خمس وعشرين سنة وملك تسعا وعشرين سنة في اورشليم واسم امه ابيّة بنت زكريا.

¹Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old; and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

²وعمل المستقيم في عيني الرب حسب كل ما عمل داود ابوه.

²And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.

³هو في السنة الاولى من ملكه في الشهر الاول فتح ابواب بيت الرب ورمّمها.

³He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Jehovah, and repaired them.

⁴وادخل الكهنة واللاويين وجمعهم الى الساحة الشرقية

⁴And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east,

⁵وقال لهم اسمعوا لي ايها اللاويون. وتقدسوا الآن وقدسوا بيت الرب اله آبائكم واخرجوا النجاسة من القدس.

⁵and said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites; now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Jehovah, the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

⁶لان آبائنا خانوا وعملوا الشر في عيني الرب الهنا وتركوه وحوّلوا وجوههم عن مسكن الرب واعطوا قفا

⁶For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, and turned their backs.

⁷واغلقوا ايضا ابواب الرواق واطفأوا السرج ولم يوقدوا بخورا ولم يصعدوا محرقة في القدس لاله اسرائيل.

⁷Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt-offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

⁸فكان غضب الرب على يهوذا واورشليم واسلمهم للقلق والدهش والصفير كما انتم راؤون باعينكم.

⁸Wherefore the wrath of Jehovah was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to be tossed to and fro, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

⁹وهوذا قد سقط آباؤنا بالسيف وبنونا وبناتنا ونساؤنا في السبي لاجل هذا.

⁹For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

¹⁰فالآن في قلبي ان اقطع عهدا مع الرب اله اسرائيل فيرد عنا حمو غضبه.

¹⁰Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.

¹¹يا بنيّ لا تضلّوا الآن لان الرب اختاركم لكي تقفوا امامه وتخدموه وتكونوا خادمين وموقدين له

¹¹My sons, be not now negligent; for Jehovah hath chosen you to stand before him, to minister unto him, and that ye should be his ministers, and burn incense.

¹²فقام اللاويون محث بن عماساي ويوئيل بن عزريا من بني القهاتيين ومن بني مراري قيس بن عبدي وعزريا بن يهللئيل ومن الجرشونيين يوآخ بن زمّة وعيدن بن يوآخ

¹²Then the Levites arose, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;

¹³ومن بني اليصافان شمري ويعيئيل ومن بني آساف زكريا ومتّنيا

¹³and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;

¹⁴ومن بني هيمان يحيئيل وشمعي ومن بني يدوثون شمعيا وعزيئيل.

¹⁴and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.

¹⁵وجمعوا اخوتهم وتقدسوا وأتوا حسب امر الملك بكلام الرب ليطهروا بيت الرب.

¹⁵And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah.

¹⁶ودخل الكهنة الى داخل بيت الرب ليطهروه واخرجوا كل النجاسة التي وجدوها في هيكل الرب الى دار بيت الرب وتناولها اللاويون ليخرجوها الى الخارج الى وادي قدرون.

¹⁶And the priests went in unto the inner part of the house of Jehovah, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Jehovah into the court of the house of Jehovah. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the brook Kidron.

¹⁷وشرعوا في التقديس في اول الشهر الاول وفي اليوم الثامن من الشهر انتهوا الى رواق الرب وقدسوا بيت الرب في ثمانية ايام وفي اليوم السادس عشر من الشهر الاول انتهوا.

¹⁷Now they began on the first [day] of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of Jehovah; and they sanctified the house of Jehovah in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

¹⁸ودخلوا الى داخل الى حزقيا الملك وقالوا قد طهرنا كل بيت الرب ومذبح المحرقة وكل آنيته ومائدة خبز الوجوه وكل آنيتها.

¹⁸Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within [the palace], and said, We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt-offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the table of showbread, with all the vessels thereof.

¹⁹وجميع الآنية التي طرحها الملك آحاز في ملكه بخيانته قد هيّأناها وقدسناها وها هي امام مذبح الرب

¹⁹Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and, behold, they are before the altar of Jehovah.

²⁰وبكر حزقيا الملك وجمع رؤساء المدينة وصعد الى بيت الرب.

²⁰Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Jehovah.

²¹فأتوا بسبعة ثيران وسبعة كباش وسبعة خرفان وسبعة تيوس معزى ذبيحة خطية عن المملكة وعن المقدس وعن يهوذا. وقال لبني هرون الكهنة ان يصعدوها على مذبح الرب.

²¹And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats, for a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of Jehovah.

²²فذبحوا الثيران وتناول الكهنة الدم ورشوه على المذبح ثم ذبحوا الكباش ورشوا الدم على المذبح ثم ذبحوا الخرفان ورشوا الدم على المذبح.

²²So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar.

²³ثم تقدموا بتيوس ذبيحة الخطية امام الملك والجماعة ووضعوا ايديهم عليها

²³And they brought near the he-goats for the sin-offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands upon them:

²⁴وذبحها الكهنة وكفّروا بدمها على المذبح تكفيرا عن جميع اسرائيل لان الملك قال ان المحرقة وذبيحة الخطية هما عن كل اسرائيل.

²⁴and the priests killed them, and they made a sin-offering with their blood upon the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded [that] the burnt-offering and the sin-offering [should be made] for all Israel.

²⁵واوقف اللاويين في بيت الرب بصنوج ورباب وعيدان حسب امر داود وجاد رائي الملك وناثان النبي لان من قبل الرب الوصية عن يد انبيائه.

²⁵And he set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah by his prophets.

²⁶فوقف اللاويون بآلات داود والكهنة بالابواق.

²⁶And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

²⁷وأمر حزقيا باصعاد المحرقة على المذبح. وعند ابتداء المحرقة ابتدأ نشيد الرب والابواق بواسطة آلات داود ملك اسرائيل.

²⁷And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt-offering upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the song of Jehovah began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.

²⁸وكان كل الجماعة يسجدون والمغنون يغنون والمبوقون يبوقون. الجميع الى ان انتهت المحرقة.

²⁸And all the assembly worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this [continued] until the burnt-offering was finished.

²⁹وعند انتهاء المحرقة خرّ الملك وكل الموجودين معه وسجدوا.

²⁹And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped.

³⁰وقال حزقيا الملك والرؤساء للاويين ان يسبحوا الرب بكلام داود وآساف الرائي. فسبحوا بابتهاج وخرّوا وسجدوا

³⁰Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises unto Jehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.

³¹ثم اجاب حزقيا وقال الآن ملأتم ايديكم للرب. تقدموا وأتوا بذبائح وقرابين شكر لبيت الرب. فأتت الجماعة بذبائح وقرابين شكر وكل سموح القلب اتى بمحرقات.

³¹Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto Jehovah; come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of Jehovah. And the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart [brought] burnt-offerings.

³²وكان عدد المحرقات التي اتى بها الجماعة سبعين ثورا ومئة كبش ومئتي خروف. كل هذه محرقة للرب.

³²And the number of the burnt-offerings which the assembly brought was threescore and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.

³³والاقداس ست مئة من البقر وثلاثة آلاف من الضأن.

³³And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

³⁴الا ان الكهنة كانوا قليلين فلم يقدروا ان يسلخوا كل المحرقات فساعدهم اخوتهم اللاويون حتى كمل العمل وحتى تقدس الكهنة. لان اللاويين كانوا اكثر استقامة قلب من الكهنة في التقدس.

³⁴But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

³⁵وايضا كانت المحرقات كثيرة بشحم ذبائح السلامة وسكائب المحرقات. فاستقامت خدمة بيت الرب.

³⁵And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering. So the service of the house of Jehovah was set in order.

³⁶وفرح حزقيا وكل الشعب من اجل ان الله اعدّ الشعب لان الأمر كان بغتة

³⁶And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
