¹كان آحاز ابن عشرين سنة حين ملك وملك ست عشرة سنة في اورشليم ولم يفعل المستقيم في عيني الرب كداود ابيه.

¹Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not what was right in the sight of Jehovah, like David his father,

²بل سار في طرق ملوك اسرائيل وعمل ايضا تماثيل مسبوكة للبعليم.

²but walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and even made molten images for the Baals;

³وهو اوقد في وادي ابن هنوم واحرق بنيه بالنار حسب رجاسات الامم الذين طردهم الرب من امام بني اسرائيل.

³and he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.

⁴وذبح واوقد على المرتفعات وعلى التلال وتحت كل شجرة خضراء.

⁴And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

⁵فدفعه الرب الهه ليد ملك ارام. فضربوه وسبوا منه سبيا عظيما وأتوا بهم الى دمشق. ودفع ايضا ليد ملك اسرائيل فضربه ضربة عظيمة.

⁵Therefore Jehovah his God gave him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also given into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.

⁶وقتل فقح بن رمليا في يهوذا مئة وعشرين الفا في يوم واحد. الجميع بنو بأس. لانهم تركوا الرب اله آبائهم.

⁶And Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken Jehovah the God of their fathers.

⁷وقتل زكري جبار افرايم معسيا ابن الملك وعزريقام رئيس البيت والقانة ثاني الملك.

⁷And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah the second to the king.

⁸وسبى بني اسرائيل من اخوتهم مئتي الف من النساء والبنين والبنات ونهبوا ايضا منهم غنيمة وافرة واتوا بالغنيمة الى السامرة.

⁸And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took away also much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

⁹وكان هناك نبي للرب اسمه عوديد. فخرج للقاء الجيش الآتي الى السامرة وقال لهم. هوذا من اجل غضب الرب اله آبائكم على يهوذا قد دفعهم ليدكم وقد قتلتموهم بغضب بلغ السماء.

⁹But a prophet of Jehovah was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because Jehovah the God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he gave them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.

¹⁰والآن انتم عازمون على اخضاع بني يهوذا واورشليم عبيدا واماء لكم. أما عندكم انتم آثام للرب الهكم.

¹⁰And now ye think to subjugate the children of Judah and Jerusalem as your bondmen and bondwomen. Are there not with you, even with you, trespasses against Jehovah your God?

¹¹والآن اسمعوا لي وردوا السبي الذي سبيتموه من اخوتكم لان حمو غضب الرب عليكم.

¹¹And now hear me, and send back the captives again, whom ye have taken captive of your brethren; for the fierce wrath of Jehovah is upon you.

¹²ثم قام رجال من رؤوس بني افرايم عزريا بن يهوحانان وبرخيا بن مشلّيموت ويحزقيا بن شلوم وعماسا بن حدلاي على المقبلين من الجيش

¹²And certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Hezekiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,

¹³وقالوا لهم لا تدخلون بالسبي الى هنا لان علينا اثما للرب وانتم عازمون ان تزيدوا على خطايانا وعلى اثمنا لان لنا اثما كثيرا وعلى اسرائيل حمو غضب.

¹³and said to them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither; because, for our guilt before Jehovah, ye think to increase our sins and our trespasses: for our trespass is great, and fierce wrath is upon Israel.

¹⁴فترك المتجردون السبي والنهب امام الرؤساء وكل الجماعة.

¹⁴Then the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.

¹⁵وقام الرجال المعيّنة اسماؤهم واخذوا المسبيين والبسوا كل عراتهم من الغنيمة وكسوهم وحذوهم واطعموهم واسقوهم ودهّنوهم وحملوا على حمير جميع المعيين منهم وأتوا بهم الى اريحا مدينة النخل الى اخوتهم ثم رجعوا الى السامرة

¹⁵And the men that have been expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them on asses, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm-trees, to their brethren. And they returned to Samaria.

¹⁶في ذلك الوقت ارسل الملك آحاز الى ملوك اشور لكي يساعدوه.

¹⁶At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.

¹⁷فان الادوميين اتوا ايضا وضربوا يهوذا وسبوا سبيا.

¹⁷And again the Edomites came and smote Judah, and carried away captives.

¹⁸واقتحم الفلسطينيون مدن الساحل وجنوبي يهوذا واخذوا بيت شمس وايلون وجديروت وسوكو وقراها وتمنة وقراها وجمزو وقراها وسكنوا هناك.

¹⁸And the Philistines invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the south of Judah, and took Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Socho and its dependent villages, and Timnah and its dependent villages, and Guimzo and its dependent villages; and they dwelt there.

¹⁹لان الرب ذلّل يهوذا بسبب آحاز ملك اسرائيل لانه اجمح يهوذا وخان الرب خيانة.

¹⁹For Jehovah humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had made Judah lawless, and transgressed much against Jehovah.

²⁰فجاء عليه تلغث فلناسر ملك اشور وضايقه ولم يشدّده.

²⁰And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and troubled him, and did not support him.

²¹لان آحاز اخذ قسما من بيت الرب ومن بيت الملك ومن الرؤساء واعطاه لملك اشور ولكنه لم يساعده.

²¹For Ahaz stripped the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave to the king of Assyria; but he was of no help to him.

²²وفي ضيقه زاد خيانة بالرب الملك آحاز هذا

²²And in the time of his trouble he transgressed yet more against Jehovah, this king Ahaz.

²³وذبح لآلهة دمشق الذين ضاربوه وقال لان آلهة ملوك ارام تساعدهم انا اذبح فيساعدونني. واما هم فكانوا سبب سقوط له ولكل اسرائيل.

²³And he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had smitten him; and he said, Since the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

²⁴وجمع آحاز آنية بيت الله وقطّع آنية بيت الله واغلق ابواب بيت الرب وعمل لنفسه مذابح في كل زاوية في اورشليم.

²⁴And Ahaz gathered the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and closed the doors of the house of Jehovah, and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

²⁵وفي كل مدينة فمدينة من يهوذا عمل مرتفعات للايقاد لآلهة اخرى واسخط الرب اله آبائه.

²⁵And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger Jehovah the God of his fathers.

²⁶وبقية اموره وكل طرقه الاولى والاخيرة ها هي مكتوبة في سفر ملوك يهوذا واسرائيل.

²⁶And the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

²⁷ثم اضطجع آحاز مع آبائه فدفنوه في المدينة في اورشليم لانهم لم يأتوا به الى قبور ملوك اسرائيل. وملك حزقيا ابنه عوضا عنه

²⁷And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
