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

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, for seventeen years.

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

²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from them.

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

³And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael, all those days.

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

⁴(And Jehoahaz besought Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.

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

⁵And Jehovah 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 before.

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

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

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

⁷For he had left 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.

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

⁸And 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?

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

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

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

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

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

¹¹And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah; he departed not from any of the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin: he walked therein.

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁴And Elisha fell sick of his sickness in which he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, My father, my father! the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof!

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

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

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

¹⁶And he said to the king of Israel, Put thy hand upon the bow. And he put his hand [upon it]; and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands,

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.

¹⁷and said, Open the window eastward. And he opened [it]. And Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, An arrow of Jehovah's deliverance, even an arrow of deliverance from the Syrians; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou hast consumed [them].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²¹And it came to pass as they were burying a man, that behold, they saw the band, and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha; and the man went [down], and touched the bones of Elisha, and he revived, and stood upon his feet.

²²واما حزائيل ملك ارام فضايق اسرائيل كل ايام يهوآحاز.

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

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

²³And Jehovah was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and he would not destroy them, neither did he cast them from his presence up to that time.

²⁴ثم مات حزائيل ملك ارام وملك بنهدد ابنه عوضا عنه

²⁴And Hazael king of Syria died, and Ben-Hadad his son reigned in his stead.

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

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