2 CHRONICLES 11	اخبار الايام الثانية 11
1 Now when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled from the house of Judah and Benjamin one hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.	1 وَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَحُبْعَامُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ جَمَعَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا وَبِنْيَامِينَ مِئَةً وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفَ مُخْتَارٍ مُحَارِبٍ لِيُحَارِبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَرُدَّ الْمُلْكَ إِلَى رَحُبْعَامَ.
2 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,	2 وَكَانَ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى شَمَعْيَا رَجُلِ اللَّهِ
3 "Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,	3 [قُلْ لِرَحُبْعَامَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَكُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي يَهُوذَا وَبِنْيَامِينَ:
4 'Thus says the Lord: "You shall not go up or fight against your brethren! Let every man return to his house, for this thing is from Me." ' " Therefore they obeyed the words of the Lord, and turned back from attacking Jeroboam.	4 هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: لاَ تَصْعَدُوا وَلاَ تُحَارِبُوا إِخْوَتَكُمْ. ارْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ لأَنَّهُ مِنْ قِبَلِي صَارَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ] فَسَمِعُوا لِكَلاَمِ الرَّبِّ وَرَجَعُوا عَنِ الذَّهَابِ ضِدَّ يَرُبْعَامَ.
5 So Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.	5 وَأَقَامَ رَحُبْعَامُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبَنَى مُدُناً لِلْحِصَارِ فِي يَهُوذَا.
6 And he built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,	6 فَبَنَى بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ وَعِيطَامَ وَتَقُوعَ
7 Beth Zur, Sochoh, Adullam,	7 وَبَيْتَ صُورَ وَسُوكُوَ وَعَدُلاَّمَ
8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,	8 وَجَتَّ وَمَرِيشَةَ وَزِيفَ
9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,	9 وَأَدُورَايِمَ وَلَخِيشَ وَعَزِيقَةَ
10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and Benjamin, fortified cities.	10 وَصَرْعَةَ وَأَيَّلُونَ وَحَبْرُونَ الَّتِي فِي يَهُوذَا وَبِنْيَامِينَ مُدُناً حَصِينَةً.
11 And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of food, oil, and wine.	11 وَشَدَّدَ الْحُصُونَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا قُوَّاداً وَخَزَائِنَ مَأْكَلٍ وَزَيْتٍ وَخَمْرٍ
12 Also in every city he put shields and spears, and made them very strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.	12 وَأَتْرَاساً فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ وَرِمَاحاً وَشَدَّدَهَا كَثِيراً جِدّاً وَكَانَ لَهُ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينُ.
13 And from all their territories the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel took their stand with him.	13 وَالْكَهَنَةُ وَاللاَّوِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ فِي كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَثَلُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ تُخُومِهِمْ
14 For the Levites left their common-lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to the Lord.	14 لأَنَّ اللاَّوِيِّينَ تَرَكُوا مَرَاعِيَهُمْ وَأَمْلاَكَهُمْ وَانْطَلَقُوا إِلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ لأَنَّ يَرُبْعَامَ وَبَنِيهِ رَفَضُوهُمْ مِنْ أَنْ يَكْهَنُوا لِلرَّبِّ
15 Then he appointed for himself priests for the high places, for the demons, and the calf idols which he had made.	15 وَأَقَامَ لِنَفْسِهِ كَهَنَةً لِلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَلِلتُّيُوسِ وَلِلْعُجُولِ الَّتِي عَمِلَ.
16 And after the Levites left, those from all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers.	16 وَبَعْدَهُمْ جَاءَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ وَجَّهُوا قُلُوبَهُمْ إِلَى طَلَبِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَذْبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِمْ.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.	17 وَشَدَّدُوا مَمْلَكَةَ يَهُوذَا وَقَوُّوا رَحُبْعَامَ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ ثَلاَثَ سِنِينَ لأَنَّهُمْ سَارُوا فِي طَرِيقِ دَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ ثَلاَثَ سِنِينَ.
18 Then Rehoboam took for himself as wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliah the son of Jesse.	18 وَاتَّخَذَ رَحُبْعَامُ لِنَفْسِهِ امْرَأَةً: مَحْلَةَ بِنْتَ يَرِيمُوثَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ وَأَبِيجَايِلَ بِنْتَ أَلِيآبَ بْنِ يَسَّى.
19 And she bore him children: Jeush, Shamariah, and Zaham.	19 فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ بَنِينَ: يَعُوشَ وَشَمَرْيَا وَزَاهَمَ
20 After her he took Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.	20 ثُمَّ بَعْدَهَا أَخَذَ مَعْكَةَ بِنْتَ أَبْشَالُومَ فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ أَبِيَّا وَعَتَّايَ وَزِيزَا وَشَلُومِيثَ.
21 Now Rehoboam loved Maachah the granddaughter of Absalom more than all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and begot twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.	21 وَأَحَبَّ رَحُبْعَامُ مَعْكَةَ بِنْتَ أَبْشَالُومَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ نِسَائِهِ وَسَرَارِيهِ لأَنَّهُ اتَّخَذَ ثَمَانِيَ عَشَرَةَ امْرَأَةً وَسِتِّينَ سُرِّيَّةً وَوَلَدَ ثَمَانِيَةً وَعِشْرِينَ ابْناً وَسِتِّينَ ابْنَةً.
22 And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maachah as chief, to be leader among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.	22 وَأَقَامَ رَحُبْعَامُ أَبِيَّا ابْنَ مَعْكَةَ رَأْساً وَقَائِداً بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ لِيُمَلِّكَهُ.
23 He dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the territories of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city; and he gave them provisions in abundance. He also sought many wives for them.	23 وَكَانَ فَهِيماً وَفَرَّقَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَنِيهِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرَاضِي يَهُوذَا وَبِنْيَامِينَ فِي كُلِّ الْمُدُنِ الْحَصِينَةِ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ زَاداً بِكَثْرَةٍ. وَطَلَبَ نِسَاءً كَثِيرَةً.
