וַיְהִי אִתָּם בְּבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים מִתְחַבֵּא שֵׁשׁ שָׁנִים וַֽעֲתַלְיָה מֹלֶכֶת עַל-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
וַיִּכְרֹת כָּל-הַקָּהָל בְּרִית בְּבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים עִם-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הִנֵּה בֶן-הַמֶּלֶךְ יִמְלֹךְ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה עַל-בְּנֵי דָוִֽיד׃
And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
וַיִּתֵּן יְהֽוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן לְשָׂרֵי הַמֵּאוֹת אֶת-הַֽחֲנִיתִים וְאֶת-הַמָּֽגִנּוֹת וְאֶת-הַשְּׁלָטִים אֲשֶׁר לַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִיד אֲשֶׁר בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.
וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֶת-הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם צְאוּ לְעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וְקִבְצוּ מִכָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כֶּסֶף לְחַזֵּק׀ אֶת-בֵּית אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם מִדֵּי שָׁנָה בְּשָׁנָה וְאַתֶּם תְּמַֽהֲרוּ לַדָּבָר וְלֹא מִֽהֲרוּ הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
כִּי עֲתַלְיָהוּ הַמִּרְשַׁעַת בָּנֶיהָ פָֽרְצוּ אֶת-בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְגַם כָּל-קָדְשֵׁי בֵית-יְהוָה עָשׂוּ לַבְּעָלִֽים׃
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim.
וַיִּתְּנוּ-קוֹל בִּֽיהוּדָה וּבִירֽוּשָׁלִַם לְהָבִיא לַֽיהוָה מַשְׂאַת מֹשֶׁה עֶֽבֶד-הָאֱלֹהִים עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ עֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָה וַתַּעַל אֲרוּכָה לַמְּלָאכָה בְּיָדָם וַֽיַּעֲמִידוּ אֶת-בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים עַל-מַתְכֻּנְתּוֹ וַֽיְאַמְּצֻֽהוּ׃
So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
וַיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ בְעִיר-דָּוִיד עִם-הַמְּלָכִים כִּֽי-עָשָׂה טוֹבָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וְעִם הָֽאֱלֹהִים וּבֵיתֽוֹ׃
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.
וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֶת-הָֽאֲשֵׁרִים וְאֶת-הָֽעֲצַבִּים וַֽיְהִי-קֶצֶף עַל-יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִַם בְּאַשְׁמָתָם זֹֽאת׃
And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים לָֽבְשָׁה אֶת-זְכַרְיָה בֶּן-יְהֽוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן וַֽיַּעֲמֹד מֵעַל לָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם כֹּה׀ אָמַר הָֽאֱלֹהִים לָמָה אַתֶּם עֹֽבְרִים אֶת-מִצְוֹת יְהוָה וְלֹא תַצְלִיחוּ כִּֽי-עֲזַבְתֶּם אֶת-יְהוָה וַיַּֽעֲזֹב אֶתְכֶֽם׃
And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
כִּי בְמִצְעַר אֲנָשִׁים בָּאוּ׀ חֵיל אֲרָם וַֽיהוָה נָתַן בְּיָדָם חַיִל לָרֹב מְאֹד כִּי עָֽזְבוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם וְאֶת-יוֹאָשׁ עָשׂוּ שְׁפָטִֽים׃
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
וּבָנָיו (ורב) יִרֶב הַמַּשָּׂא עָלָיו וִיסוֹד בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים הִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל-מִדְרַשׁ סֵפֶר הַמְּלָכִים וַיִּמְלֹךְ אֲמַצְיָהוּ בְנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
וְאִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים בָּא אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר הַמֶּלֶךְ אַל-יָבוֹא עִמְּךָ צְבָא יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי אֵין יְהוָה עִם-יִשְׂרָאֵל כֹּל בְּנֵי אֶפְרָֽיִם׃
But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.
כִּי אִם-בֹּא אַתָּה עֲשֵׂה חֲזַק לַמִּלְחָמָה יַכְשִֽׁילְךָ הָֽאֱלֹהִים לִפְנֵי אוֹיֵב כִּי יֶשׁ-כֹּחַ בֵּֽאלֹהִים לַעְזוֹר וּלְהַכְשִֽׁיל׃
But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲמַצְיָהוּ לְאִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים וּמַֽה-לַּעֲשׂוֹת לִמְאַת הַכִּכָּר אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לִגְדוּד יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים יֵשׁ לַֽיהוָה לָתֶת לְךָ הַרְבֵּה מִזֶּֽה׃
And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.
וַיְהִי אַֽחֲרֵי בוֹא אֲמַצְיָהוּ מֵֽהַכּוֹת אֶת-אֲדוֹמִים וַיָּבֵא אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי בְּנֵי שֵׂעִיר וַיַּֽעֲמִידֵם לוֹ לֵֽאלֹהִים וְלִפְנֵיהֶם יִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֶה וְלָהֶם יְקַטֵּֽר׃
Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
וַיִּֽחַר-אַף יְהוָה בַּֽאֲמַצְיָהוּ וַיִּשְׁלַח אֵלָיו נָבִיא וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ לָמָּה דָרַשְׁתָּ אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי הָעָם אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-הִצִּילוּ אֶת-עַמָּם מִיָּדֶֽךָ׃
Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?
וַיְהִי׀ בְּדַבְּרוֹ אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הַלְיוֹעֵץ לַמֶּלֶךְ נְתַנּוּךָ חֲדַל-לְךָ לָמָּה יַכּוּךָ וַיֶּחְדַּל הַנָּבִיא וַיֹּאמֶר יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי-יָעַץ אֱלֹהִים לְהַשְׁחִיתֶךָ כִּֽי-עָשִׂיתָ זֹּאת וְלֹא שָׁמַעְתָּ לַֽעֲצָתִֽי׃
And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
וְלֹֽא-שָׁמַע אֲמַצְיָהוּ כִּי מֵהָֽאֱלֹהִים הִיא לְמַעַן תִּתָּם בְּיָד כִּי דָֽרְשׁוּ אֵת אֱלֹהֵי אֱדֽוֹם׃
But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.
וְכָֽל-הַזָּהָב וְהַכֶּסֶף וְאֵת כָּל-הַכֵּלִים הַנִּמְצְאִים בְּבֵית-הָֽאֱלֹהִים עִם-עֹבֵד אֱדוֹם וְאֶת-אֹצְרוֹת בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֵת בְּנֵי הַתַּֽעֲרֻבוֹת וַיָּשָׁב שֹֽׁמְרֽוֹן׃
And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
וַֽיְהִי לִדְרֹשׁ אֱלֹהִים בִּימֵי זְכַרְיָהוּ הַמֵּבִין בִּרְאֹת הָֽאֱלֹהִים וּבִימֵי דָּרְשׁוֹ אֶת-יְהוָה הִצְלִיחוֹ הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.
וַיַּעְזְרֵהוּ הָֽאֱלֹהִים עַל-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְעַל-(הערביים) הָֽעַרְבִים הַיֹּֽשְׁבִים בְּגוּר-בָּעַל וְהַמְּעוּנִֽים׃
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.
וּכְחֶזְקָתוֹ גָּבַהּ לִבּוֹ עַד-לְהַשְׁחִית וַיִּמְעַל בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהָיו וַיָּבֹא אֶל-הֵיכַל יְהוָה לְהַקְטִיר עַל-מִזְבַּח הַקְּטֹֽרֶת׃
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ עַל-עֻזִּיָּהוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ לֹֽא-לְךָ עֻזִּיָּהוּ לְהַקְטִיר לַֽיהוָה כִּי לַכֹּֽהֲנִים בְּנֵֽי-אַהֲרֹן הַמְקֻדָּשִׁים לְהַקְטִיר צֵא מִן-הַמִּקְדָּשׁ כִּי מָעַלְתָּ וְלֹֽא-לְךָ לְכָבוֹד מֵֽיְהוָה אֱלֹהִֽים׃
And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.
וַיִּתְחַזֵּק יוֹתָם כִּי הֵכִין דְּרָכָיו לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃
So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.
וַֽיִּתְּנֵהוּ יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ אֲרָם וַיַּכּוּ-בוֹ וַיִּשְׁבּוּ מִמֶּנּוּ שִׁבְיָה גְדוֹלָה וַיָּבִיאוּ דַּרְמָשֶׂק וְגַם בְּיַד-מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל נִתָּן וַיַּךְ-בּוֹ מַכָּה גְדוֹלָֽה׃
Wherefore the LORD his God delivered 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 delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.
וַיַּֽהֲרֹג פֶּקַח בֶּן-רְמַלְיָהוּ בִּֽיהוּדָה מֵאָה וְעֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף בְּיוֹם אֶחָד הַכֹּל בְּנֵי-חָיִל בְּעָזְבָם אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתָֽם׃
For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.
וְשָׁם הָיָה נָבִיא לַֽיהוָה עֹדֵד שְׁמוֹ וַיֵּצֵא לִפְנֵי הַצָּבָא הַבָּא לְשֹֽׁמְרוֹן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הִנֵּה בַּֽחֲמַת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם עַל-יְהוּדָה נְתָנָם בְּיֶדְכֶם וַתַּֽהַרְגוּ-בָם בְזַעַף עַד לַשָּׁמַיִם הִגִּֽיעַ׃
But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.
וְעַתָּה בְּנֵֽי-יְהוּדָה וִירֽוּשָׁלִַם אַתֶּם אֹֽמְרִים לִכְבֹּשׁ לַֽעֲבָדִים וְלִשְׁפָחוֹת לָכֶם הֲלֹא רַק-אַתֶּם עִמָּכֶם אֲשָׁמוֹת לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם׃
And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?
וַיִּזְבַּח לֵֽאלֹהֵי דַרְמֶשֶׂק הַמַּכִּים בּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר כִּי אֱלֹהֵי מַלְכֵֽי-אֲרָם הֵם מַעְזְרִים אֹתָם לָהֶם אֲזַבֵּחַ וְיַעְזְרוּנִי וְהֵם הָֽיוּ-לוֹ לְהַכְשִׁילוֹ וּלְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
וַיֶּֽאֱסֹף אָחָז אֶת-כְּלֵי בֵית-הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיְקַצֵּץ אֶת-כְּלֵי בֵית-הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיִּסְגֹּר אֶת-דַּלְתוֹת בֵּית-יְהוָה וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ מִזְבְּחוֹת בְּכָל-פִּנָּה בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
וּבְכָל-עִיר וָעִיר לִֽיהוּדָה עָשָׂה בָמוֹת לְקַטֵּר לֵֽאלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וַיַּכְעֵס אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתָֽיו׃
And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם שְׁמָעוּנִי הַלְוִיִּם עַתָּה הִֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ וְקַדְּשׁוּ אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹֽתֵיכֶם וְהוֹצִיאוּ אֶת-הַנִּדָּה מִן-הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃
And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
כִּֽי-מָעֲלוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ וְעָשׂוּ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָֽה-אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַיַּֽעַזְבֻהוּ וַיַּסֵּבּוּ פְנֵיהֶם מִמִּשְׁכַּן יְהוָה וַיִּתְּנוּ-עֹֽרֶף׃
For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
גַּם סָֽגְרוּ דַּלְתוֹת הָֽאוּלָם וַיְכַבּוּ אֶת-הַנֵּרוֹת וּקְטֹרֶת לֹא הִקְטִירוּ וְעֹלָה לֹֽא-הֶעֱלוּ בַקֹּדֶשׁ לֵֽאלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Also 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.
עַתָּה עִם-לְבָבִי לִכְרוֹת בְּרִית לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְיָשֹׁב מִמֶּנּוּ חֲרוֹן אַפּֽוֹ׃
Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
וַיִּשְׂמַח יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ וְכָל-הָעָם עַל הַֽהֵכִין הָֽאֱלֹהִים לָעָם כִּי בְּפִתְאֹם הָיָה הַדָּבָֽר׃
And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
וַיִּשְׁלַח יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ עַל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וִֽיהוּדָה וְגַֽם-אִגְּרוֹת כָּתַב עַל-אֶפְרַיִם וּמְנַשֶּׁה לָבוֹא לְבֵית-יְהוָה בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם לַֽעֲשׂוֹת פֶּסַח לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
וַיַּֽעֲמִידוּ דָבָר לְהַֽעֲבִיר קוֹל בְּכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִבְּאֵֽר-שֶׁבַע וְעַד-דָּן לָבוֹא לַֽעֲשׂוֹת פֶּסַח לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם כִּי לֹא לָרֹב עָשׂוּ כַּכָּתֽוּב׃
So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ הָֽרָצִים בָּֽאִגְּרוֹת מִיַּד הַמֶּלֶךְ וְשָׂרָיו בְּכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וִֽיהוּדָה וּכְמִצְוַת הַמֶּלֶךְ לֵאמֹר בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שׁוּבוּ אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיִשְׂרָאֵל וְיָשֹׁב אֶל-הַפְּלֵיטָה הַנִּשְׁאֶרֶת לָכֶם מִכַּף מַלְכֵי אַשּֽׁוּר׃
So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
וְאַל-תִּֽהְיוּ כַּאֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם וְכַאֲחֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר מָֽעֲלוּ בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם וַיִּתְּנֵם לְשַׁמָּה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם רֹאִֽים׃
And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
עַתָּה אַל-תַּקְשׁוּ עָרְפְּכֶם כַּאֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם תְּנוּ-יָד לַֽיהוָה וּבֹאוּ לְמִקְדָּשׁוֹ אֲשֶׁר הִקְדִּישׁ לְעוֹלָם וְעִבְדוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְיָשֹׁב מִכֶּם חֲרוֹן אַפּֽוֹ׃
Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
כִּי בְשֽׁוּבְכֶם עַל-יְהוָה אֲחֵיכֶם וּבְנֵיכֶם לְרַֽחֲמִים לִפְנֵי שֽׁוֹבֵיהֶם וְלָשׁוּב לָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת כִּֽי-חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְלֹֽא-יָסִיר פָּנִים מִכֶּם אִם-תָּשׁוּבוּ אֵלָֽיו׃
For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
גַּם בִּֽיהוּדָה הָֽיְתָה יַד הָֽאֱלֹהִים לָתֵת לָהֶם לֵב אֶחָד לַֽעֲשׂוֹת מִצְוַת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַשָּׂרִים בִּדְבַר יְהוָֽה׃
Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ עַל-עָמְדָם כְּמִשְׁפָּטָם כְּתוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִים הַכֹּֽהֲנִים זֹֽרְקִים אֶת-הַדָּם מִיַּד הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
כָּל-לְבָבוֹ הֵכִין לִדְרוֹשׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתָיו וְלֹא כְּטָֽהֳרַת הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃
That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
וַיְדַבֵּר יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ עַל-לֵב כָּל-הַלְוִיִּם הַמַּשְׂכִּילִים שֵֽׂכֶל-טוֹב לַֽיהוָה וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ אֶת-הַמּוֹעֵד שִׁבְעַת הַיָּמִים מְזַבְּחִים זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים וּמִתְוַדִּים לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִֽיהוּדָה הַיּֽוֹשְׁבִים בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה גַּם-הֵם מַעְשַׂר בָּקָר וָצֹאן וּמַעְשַׂר קָֽדָשִׁים הַמְקֻדָּשִׁים לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם הֵבִיאוּ וַֽיִּתְּנוּ עֲרֵמוֹת עֲרֵמֽוֹת׃
And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.
וִֽיחִיאֵל וַֽעֲזַזְיָהוּ וְנַחַת וַֽעֲשָׂהאֵל וִֽירִימוֹת וְיֽוֹזָבָד וֶֽאֱלִיאֵל וְיִסְמַכְיָהוּ וּמַחַת וּבְנָיָהוּ פְּקִידִים מִיַּד (כונניהו) כָּֽנַנְיָהוּ וְשִׁמְעִי אָחִיו בְּמִפְקַד יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ וַֽעֲזַרְיָהוּ נְגִיד בֵּית-הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
וְקוֹרֵא בֶן-יִמְנָה הַלֵּוִי הַשּׁוֹעֵר לַמִּזְרָחָה עַל נִדְבוֹת הָֽאֱלֹהִים לָתֵת תְּרוּמַת יְהוָה וְקָדְשֵׁי הַקֳּדָשִֽׁים׃
And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.
וַיַּעַשׂ כָּזֹאת יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ בְּכָל-יְהוּדָה וַיַּעַשׂ הַטּוֹב וְהַיָּשָׁר וְהָאֱמֶת לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃
And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God.
וּבְכָֽל-מַעֲשֶׂה אֲשֶׁר-הֵחֵל׀ בַּֽעֲבוֹדַת בֵּית-הָֽאֱלֹהִים וּבַתּוֹרָה וּבַמִּצְוָה לִדְרֹשׁ לֵֽאלֹהָיו בְּכָל-לְבָבוֹ עָשָׂה וְהִצְלִֽיחַ׃
And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
עִמּוֹ זְרוֹעַ בָּשָׂר וְעִמָּנוּ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ לְעָזְרֵנוּ וּלְהִלָּחֵם מִלְחֲמֹתֵנוּ וַיִּסָּֽמְכוּ הָעָם עַל-דִּבְרֵי יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָֽה׃
With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
הֲלֹא יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ מַסִּית אֶתְכֶם לָתֵת אֶתְכֶם לָמוּת בְּרָעָב וּבְצָמָא לֵאמֹר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יַצִּילֵנוּ מִכַּף מֶלֶךְ אַשּֽׁוּר׃
Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
הֲלֹא תֵֽדְעוּ מֶה עָשִׂיתִי אֲנִי וַֽאֲבוֹתַי לְכֹל עַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת הֲיָכוֹל יָֽכְלוּ אֱלֹהֵי גּוֹיֵ הָֽאֲרָצוֹת לְהַצִּיל אֶת-אַרְצָם מִיָּדִֽי׃
Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?
מִי בְּֽכָל-אֱלֹהֵי הַגּוֹיִם הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר הֶֽחֱרִימוּ אֲבוֹתַי אֲשֶׁר יָכוֹל לְהַצִּיל אֶת-עַמּוֹ מִיָּדִי כִּי יוּכַל אֱלֹהֵיכֶם לְהַצִּיל אֶתְכֶם מִיָּדִֽי׃
Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?
וְעַתָּה אַל-יַשִּׁיא אֶתְכֶם חִזְקִיָּהוּ וְאַל-יַסִּית אֶתְכֶם כָּזֹאת וְאַל-תַּֽאֲמִינוּ לוֹ כִּי-לֹא יוּכַל כָּל-אֱלוֹהַ כָּל-גּוֹי וּמַמְלָכָה לְהַצִּיל עַמּוֹ מִיָּדִי וּמִיַּד אֲבוֹתָי אַף כִּי אֱֽלֹהֵיכֶם לֹֽא-יַצִּילוּ אֶתְכֶם מִיָּדִֽי׃
Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?
וְעוֹד דִּבְּרוּ עֲבָדָיו עַל-יְהוָה הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְעַל יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ עַבְדּֽוֹ׃
And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
וּסְפָרִים כָּתַב לְחָרֵף לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֵֽאמֹר עָלָיו לֵאמֹר כֵּֽאלֹהֵי גּוֹיֵי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-הִצִּילוּ עַמָּם מִיָּדִי כֵּן לֹֽא-יַצִּיל אֱלֹהֵי יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ עַמּוֹ מִיָּדִֽי׃
He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.
וַֽיְדַבְּרוּ אֶל-אֱלֹהֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם כְּעַל אֱלֹהֵי עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ מַֽעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי הָֽאָדָֽם׃
And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.
וַיִּשְׁלַח יְהוָה מַלְאָךְ וַיַּכְחֵד כָּל-גִּבּוֹר חַיִל וְנָגִיד וְשָׂר בְּמַֽחֲנֵה מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וַיָּשָׁב בְּבֹשֶׁת פָּנִים לְאַרְצוֹ וַיָּבֹא בֵּית אֱלֹהָיו (ומיציאו) וּמִֽיצִיאֵי מֵעָיו שָׁם הִפִּילֻהוּ בֶחָֽרֶב׃
And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.
וְעָרִים עָשָׂה לוֹ וּמִקְנֵה-צֹאן וּבָקָר לָרֹב כִּי נָֽתַן-לוֹ אֱלֹהִים רְכוּשׁ רַב מְאֹֽד׃
Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.
וְכֵן בִּמְלִיצֵי׀ שָׂרֵי בָּבֶל הַֽמְשַׁלְּחִים עָלָיו לִדְרֹשׁ הַמּוֹפֵת אֲשֶׁר הָיָה בָאָרֶץ עֲזָבוֹ הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְנַסּוֹתוֹ לָדַעַת כָּל-בִּלְבָבֽוֹ׃
Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת-פֶּסֶל הַסֶּמֶל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה בְּבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר אָמַר אֱלֹהִים אֶל-דָּוִיד וְאֶל-שְׁלֹמֹה בְנוֹ בַּבַּיִת הַזֶּה וּבִירֽוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר בָּחַרְתִּי מִכֹּל שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָשִׂים אֶת-שְׁמִי לְעֵילֽוֹם׃
And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
וּכְהָצֵר לוֹ חִלָּה אֶת-פְּנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו וַיִּכָּנַע מְאֹד מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתָֽיו׃
And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל אֵלָיו וַיֵּעָתֶר לוֹ וַיִּשְׁמַע תְּחִנָּתוֹ וַיְשִׁיבֵהוּ יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם לְמַלְכוּתוֹ וַיֵּדַע מְנַשֶּׁה כִּי יְהוָה הוּא הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.
וַיָּסַר אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר וְאֶת-הַסֶּמֶל מִבֵּית יְהוָה וְכָל-הַֽמִּזְבְּחוֹת אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בְּהַר בֵּית-יְהוָה וּבִירֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ חוּצָה לָעִֽיר׃
And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
(ויכן) וַיִּבֶן אֶת-מִזְבַּח יְהוָה וַיִּזְבַּח עָלָיו זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים וְתוֹדָה וַיֹּאמֶר לִֽיהוּדָה לַֽעֲבוֹד אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.
אֲבָל עוֹד הָעָם זֹֽבְחִים בַּבָּמוֹת רַק לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶֽם׃
Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only.
וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי מְנַשֶּׁה וּתְפִלָּתוֹ אֶל-אֱלֹהָיו וְדִבְרֵי הַֽחֹזִים הַֽמְדַבְּרִים אֵלָיו בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הִנָּם עַל-דִּבְרֵי מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
וּבִשְׁמוֹנֶה שָׁנִים לְמָלְכוֹ וְהוּא עוֹדֶנּוּ נַעַר הֵחֵל לִדְרוֹשׁ לֵֽאלֹהֵי דָּוִיד אָבִיו וּבִשְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה הֵחֵל לְטַהֵר אֶת-יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִַם מִן-הַבָּמוֹת וְהָאֲשֵׁרִים וְהַפְּסִלִים וְהַמַּסֵּכֽוֹת׃
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.
וּבִשְׁנַת שְׁמוֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה לְמָלְכוֹ לְטַהֵר הָאָרֶץ וְהַבָּיִת שָׁלַח אֶת-שָׁפָן בֶּן-אֲצַלְיָהוּ וְאֶת-מַֽעֲשֵׂיָהוּ שַׂר-הָעִיר וְאֵת יוֹאָח בֶּן-יֽוֹאָחָז הַמַּזְכִּיר לְחַזֵּק אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-חִלְקִיָּהוּ׀ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַֽיִּתְּנוּ אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף הַמּוּבָא בֵית-אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר אָסְפֽוּ-הַלְוִיִּם שֹֽׁמְרֵי הַסַּף מִיַּד מְנַשֶּׁה וְאֶפְרַיִם וּמִכֹּל שְׁאֵרִית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִכָּל-יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן (וישבי) וַיָּשֻׁבוּ יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.
וַתֹּאמֶר לָהֶם כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִמְרוּ לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-שָׁלַח אֶתְכֶם אֵלָֽי׃
And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,
תַּחַת׀ אֲשֶׁר עֲזָבוּנִי (ויקטירו) וַֽיְקַטְּרוּ לֵֽאלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים לְמַעַן הַכְעִיסֵנִי בְּכֹל מַֽעֲשֵׂי יְדֵיהֶם וְתִתַּךְ חֲמָתִי בַּמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְלֹא תִכְבֶּֽה׃
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
וְאֶל-מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אֶתְכֶם לִדְרוֹשׁ בַּֽיהוָה כֹּה תֹֽאמְרוּ אֵלָיו כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁמָֽעְתָּ׃
And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;
יַעַן רַךְ-לְבָבְךָ וַתִּכָּנַע׀ מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים בְּשָׁמְעֲךָ אֶת-דְּבָרָיו עַל-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְעַל-יֹשְׁבָיו וַתִּכָּנַע לְפָנַי וַתִּקְרַע אֶת-בְּגָדֶיךָ וַתֵּבְךְּ לְפָנָי וְגַם-אֲנִי שָׁמַעְתִּי נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.
וַיַּֽעֲמֵד אֵת כָּל-הַנִּמְצָא בִירֽוּשָׁלִַם וּבִנְיָמִן וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ יוֹשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם כִּבְרִית אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
וַיָּסַר יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ אֶת-כָּל-הַתֹּעֵבוֹת מִֽכָּל-הָאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיַּעֲבֵד אֵת כָּל-הַנִּמְצָא בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽעֲבוֹד אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם כָּל-יָמָיו לֹא סָרוּ מֵֽאַחֲרֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. And all his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
וַיֹּאמֶר לַלְוִיִּם (המבונים) הַמְּבִינִים לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַקְּדוֹשִׁים לַֽיהוָה תְּנוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן-הַקֹּדֶשׁ בַּבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה שְׁלֹמֹה בֶן-דָּוִיד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵין-לָכֶם מַשָּׂא בַּכָּתֵף עַתָּה עִבְדוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְאֵת עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,
וְשָׂרָיו לִנְדָבָה לָעָם לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם הֵרִימוּ חִלְקִיָּה וּזְכַרְיָהוּ וִֽיחִיאֵל נְגִידֵי בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים לַכֹּֽהֲנִים נָֽתְנוּ לַפְּסָחִים אַלְפַּיִם וְשֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת וּבָקָר שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃
And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
וַיִּשְׁלַח אֵלָיו מַלְאָכִים׀ לֵאמֹר׀ מַה-לִּי וָלָךְ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה לֹֽא-עָלֶיךָ אַתָּה הַיּוֹם כִּי אֶל-בֵּית מִלְחַמְתִּי וֵֽאלֹהִים אָמַר לְבַֽהֲלֵנִי חֲדַל-לְךָ מֵֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר-עִמִּי וְאַל-יַשְׁחִיתֶֽךָ׃
But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
וְלֹֽא-הֵסֵב יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ פָנָיו מִמֶּנּוּ כִּי לְהִלָּחֵֽם-בּוֹ הִתְחַפֵּשׂ וְלֹא שָׁמַע אֶל-דִּבְרֵי נְכוֹ מִפִּי אֱלֹהִים וַיָּבֹא לְהִלָּחֵם בְּבִקְעַת מְגִדּֽוֹ׃
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
בֶּן-עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה יְהֽוֹיָקִים בְּמָלְכוֹ וְאַחַת עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו לֹא נִכְנַע מִלִּפְנֵי יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא מִפִּי יְהוָֽה׃
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.
וְגַם בַּמֶּלֶךְ נְבֽוּכַדְנֶאצַּר מָרָד אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁבִּיעוֹ בֵּֽאלֹהִים וַיֶּקֶשׁ אֶת-עָרְפּוֹ וַיְאַמֵּץ אֶת-לְבָבוֹ מִשּׁוּב אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.
וַיִּשְׁלַח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם עֲלֵיהֶם בְּיַד מַלְאָכָיו הַשְׁכֵּם וְשָׁלוֹחַ כִּֽי-חָמַל עַל-עַמּוֹ וְעַל-מְעוֹנֽוֹ׃
And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
וַיִּֽהְיוּ מַלְעִבִים בְּמַלְאֲכֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִים וּבוֹזִים דְּבָרָיו וּמִֽתַּעְתְּעִים בִּנְבִאָיו עַד עֲלוֹת חֲמַת-יְהוָה בְּעַמּוֹ עַד-לְאֵין מַרְפֵּֽא׃
But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
וְכֹל כְּלֵי בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים הַגְּדֹלִים וְהַקְּטַנִּים וְאֹֽצְרוֹת בֵּית יְהוָה וְאֹֽצְרוֹת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְשָׂרָיו הַכֹּל הֵבִיא בָבֶֽל׃
And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.
וַֽיִּשְׂרְפוּ אֶת-בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַֽיְנַתְּצוּ אֵת חוֹמַת יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וְכָל-אַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ שָֽׂרְפוּ בָאֵשׁ וְכָל-כְּלֵי מַֽחֲמַדֶּיהָ לְהַשְׁחִֽית׃
And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
כּֽה-אָמַר כּוֹרֶשׁ׀ מֶלֶךְ פָּרַס כָּל-מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ נָתַן לִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהֽוּא-פָקַד עָלַי לִבְנֽוֹת-לוֹ בַיִת בִּירוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר בִּֽיהוּדָה מִֽי-בָכֶם מִכָּל-עַמּוֹ יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו עִמּוֹ וְיָֽעַל׃
Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.
כֹּה אָמַר כֹּרֶשׁ מֶלֶךְ פָּרַס כֹּל מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ נָתַן לִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי הַשָּׁמָיִם וְהֽוּא-פָקַד עָלַי לִבְנֽוֹת-לוֹ בַיִת בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר בִּֽיהוּדָֽה׃
Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
מִֽי-בָכֶם מִכָּל-עַמּוֹ יְהִי אֱלֹהָיו עִמּוֹ וְיַעַל לִירֽוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר בִּֽיהוּדָה וְיִבֶן אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.
וְכָל-הַנִּשְׁאָר מִֽכָּל-הַמְּקֹמוֹת אֲשֶׁר הוּא גָֽר-שָׁם יְנַשְּׂאוּהוּ אַנְשֵׁי מְקֹמוֹ בְּכֶסֶף וּבְזָהָב וּבִרְכוּשׁ וּבִבְהֵמָה עִם-הַנְּדָבָה לְבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
וַיָּקוּמוּ רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לִֽיהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם לְכֹל הֵעִיר הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶת-רוּחוֹ לַֽעֲלוֹת לִבְנוֹת אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
וְהַמֶּלֶךְ כּוֹרֶשׁ הוֹצִיא אֶת-כְּלֵי בֵית-יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר הוֹצִיא נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר מִירוּשָׁלִַם וַֽיִּתְּנֵם בְּבֵית אֱלֹהָֽיו׃
Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
וּמֵֽרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת בְּבוֹאָם לְבֵית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם הִֽתְנַדְּבוּ לְבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְהַֽעֲמִידוֹ עַל-מְכוֹנֽוֹ׃
And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the LORD which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in his place:
וַיָּקָם יֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן-יֽוֹצָדָק וְאֶחָיו הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וּזְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן-שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל וְאֶחָיו וַיִּבְנוּ אֶת-מִזְבַּח אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהַֽעֲלוֹת עָלָיו עֹלוֹת כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשֵּׁנִית לְבוֹאָם אֶל-בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים לִירוּשָׁלִַם בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי הֵחֵלּוּ זְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן-שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל וְיֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן-יֽוֹצָדָק וּשְׁאָר אֲחֵיהֶם׀ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-הַבָּאִים מֵֽהַשְּׁבִי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וַיַּֽעֲמִידוּ אֶת-הַלְוִיִּם מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וָמַעְלָה לְנַצֵּחַ עַל-מְלֶאכֶת בֵּית-יְהוָֽה׃
Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.
וַיַּֽעֲמֹד יֵשׁוּעַ בָּנָיו וְאֶחָיו קַדְמִיאֵל וּבָנָיו בְּנֵֽי-יְהוּדָה כְּאֶחָד לְנַצֵּחַ עַל-עֹשֵׂה הַמְּלָאכָה בְּבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים בְּנֵי חֵֽנָדָד בְּנֵיהֶם וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
