اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 19
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ حَزَقِيَّا ذَلِكَ، مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَتَغَطَّى بِمِسْحٍ وَدَخَلَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١ 1 |
And it comes to pass, at King Hezekiah’s hearing, that he tears his garments, and covers himself with sackcloth, and enters the house of YHWH,
| وَأَرْسَلَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَشِبْنَةَ ٱلْكَاتِبَ وَشُيُوخَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مُتَغَطِّينَ بِمِسْحٍ إِلَى إِشَعْيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱبْنِ آمُوصَ، | ٢ 2 |
and sends Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elderly of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz,
| فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ حَزَقِيَّا: هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ شِدَّةٍ وَتَأْدِيبٍ وَإِهَانَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَجِنَّةَ قَدْ دَنَتْ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْلِدِ وَلَا قُوَّةَ لِلْوِلَادَةِ. | ٣ 3 |
and they say to him, “Thus said Hezekiah: This day [is] a day of distress, and rebuke, and despising; for sons have come to the birth, and there is not power to bring forth.
| لَعَلَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يَسْمَعُ جَمِيعَ كَلَامِ رَبْشَاقَى ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ سَيِّدُهُ لِيُعَيِّرَ ٱلْإِلَهَ ٱلْحَيَّ، فَيُوَبِّخَ عَلَى ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ. فَٱرْفَعْ صَلَاةً مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْبَقِيَّةِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةِ». | ٤ 4 |
It may be your God YHWH hears all the words of the chief of the butlers with which the king of Asshur his lord has sent him to reproach the living God, and has decided concerning the words that your God YHWH has heard, and you have lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.”
| فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ ٱلْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا إِلَى إِشَعْيَا، | ٥ 5 |
And the servants of King Hezekiah come to Isaiah,
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِشَعْيَا: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِسَيِّدِكُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَخَفْ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتَهُ، ٱلَّذِي جَدَّفَ عَلَيَّ بِهِ غِلْمَانُ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ. | ٦ 6 |
and Isaiah says to them, “Thus you say to your lord, Thus said YHWH: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled Me.
| هَأَنَذَا أَجْعَلُ فِيهِ رُوحًا فَيَسْمَعُ خَبَرًا وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، وَأُسْقِطُهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ فِي أَرْضِهِ». | ٧ 7 |
Behold, I am giving a spirit in him, and he has heard a report, and has turned back to his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.”
| فَرَجَعَ رَبْشَاقَى وَوَجَدَ مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ يُحَارِبُ لِبْنَةَ، لِأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَّهُ ٱرْتَحَلَ عَنْ لَخِيشَ. | ٨ 8 |
And the chief of the butlers turns back and finds the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he has heard that he has journeyed from Lachish.
| وَسَمِعَ عَنْ تُرْهَاقَةَ مَلِكِ كُوشٍ قَوْلًا: «قَدْ خَرَجَ لِيُحَارِبَكَ». فَعَادَ وَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلًا: | ٩ 9 |
And he hears concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “Behold, he has come out to fight with you”; and he turns and sends messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
| «هَكَذَا تُكَلِّمُونَ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا قَائِلِينَ: لَا يَخْدَعْكَ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ مُتَّكِلٌ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلًا: لَا تُدْفَعُ أُورُشَلِيمُ إِلَى يَدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ. | ١٠ 10 |
“Thus you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God in whom you are trusting lift you up, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
| إِنَّكَ قَدْ سَمِعْتَ مَا فَعَلَ مُلُوكُ أَشُّورَ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي لِإِهْلَاكِهَا، وَهَلْ تَنْجُو أَنْتَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Behold, you have heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands—to devote them; and are you delivered?
| هَلْ أَنْقَذَتْ آلِهَةُ ٱلْأُمَمِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَهْلَكَهُمْ آبَائِي، جُوزَانَ وَحَارَانَ وَرَصْفَ وَبَنِي عَدَنَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي تَلَاسَّارَ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed—Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] in Thelassar?
| أَيْنَ مَلِكُ حَمَاةَ وَمَلِكُ أَرْفَادَ وَمَلِكُ مَدِينَةِ سَفْرَوَايِمَ وَهَيْنَعَ وَعِوَّا؟». | ١٣ 13 |
Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?”
| فَأَخَذَ حَزَقِيَّا ٱلرَّسَائِلَ مِنْ أَيْدِي ٱلرُّسُلِ وَقَرَأَهَا، ثُمَّ صَعِدَ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَنَشَرَهَا حَزَقِيَّا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٤ 14 |
And Hezekiah takes the letters out of the hand of the messengers and reads them, and goes up to the house of YHWH, and Hezekiah spreads it before YHWH.
| وَصَلَّى حَزَقِيَّا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلْجَالِسُ فَوْقَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمَ، أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْإِلَهُ وَحْدَكَ لِكُلِّ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَنْتَ صَنَعْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Hezekiah prays before YHWH and says, “O YHWH, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, You [are] God Himself—You alone—to all the kingdoms of the earth: You have made the heavens and the earth.
| أَمِلْ يَارَبُّ أُذُنَكَ وَٱسْمَعْ. اِفْتَحْ يَارَبُّ عَيْنَيْكَ وَٱنْظُرْ، وَٱسْمَعْ كَلَامَ سَنْحَارِيبَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ لِيُعَيِّرَ ٱللهَ ٱلْحَيَّ. | ١٦ 16 |
Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, and hear; open, O YHWH, Your eyes, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib with which he has sent him to reproach the living God.
| حَقًّا يَارَبُّ إِنَّ مُلُوكَ أَشُّورَ قَدْ خَرَّبُوا ٱلْأُمَمَ وَأَرَاضِيَهُمْ، | ١٧ 17 |
Truly, O YHWH, kings of Asshur have laid waste the nations and their land,
| وَدَفَعُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ. وَلِأَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا آلِهَةً، بَلْ صَنْعَةُ أَيْدِي ٱلنَّاسِ: خَشَبٌ وَحَجَرٌ، فَأَبَادُوهُمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
and have put their gods into fire, for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone, and destroy them.
| وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا خَلِّصْنَا مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتَعْلَمَ مَمَالِكُ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلُّهَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ وَحْدَكَ». | ١٩ 19 |
And now, O our God YHWH, please save us out of his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth know that You [are] YHWH God—You alone.”
| فَأَرْسَلَ إِشَعْيَا بْنُ آمُوصَ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي صَلَّيْتَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ سَنْحَارِيبَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And Isaiah son of Amoz sends to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: That which you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur I have heard;
| هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ: ٱحْتَقَرَتْكَ وَٱسْتَهْزَأَتْ بِكَ ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ ٱبْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَنَحْوَكَ أَنْغَضَتِ ٱبْنَةُ أُورُشَلِيمَ رَأْسَهَا. | ٢١ 21 |
this [is] the word that YHWH spoke concerning him: Trampled on you—laughed at you Has the virgin daughter of Zion; Shaken the head behind you Has the daughter of Jerusalem!
| مَنْ عَيَّرْتَ وَجَدَّفْتَ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ عَلَّيْتَ صَوْتًا؟ وَقَدْ رَفَعْتَ إِلَى ٱلْعَلَاءِ عَيْنَيْكَ عَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ! | ٢٢ 22 |
Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up a voice? Indeed, you lift up your eyes on high—Against the Holy One of Israel!
| عَلَى يَدِ رُسُلِكَ عَيَّرْتَ ٱلسَّيِّدَ، وَقُلْتَ: بِكَثْرَةِ مَرْكَبَاتِي قَدْ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى عُلْوِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، إِلَى عِقَابِ لُبْنَانَ وَأَقْطَعُ أَرْزَهُ ٱلطَّوِيلَ وَأَفْضَلَ سَرْوِهِ، وَأَدْخُلُ أَقْصَى عُلْوِهِ، وَعْرَ كَرْمَلِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
By the hand of your messengers You have reproached the Lord, and say, In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of mountains—The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the lodging of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
| أَنَا قَدْ حَفَرْتُ وَشَرِبْتُ مِيَاهًا غَرِيبَةً، وَأُنَشِّفُ بِأَسْفَلِ قَدَمَيَّ جَمِيعَ خُلْجَانِ مِصْرَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
I have dug, and drunk strange waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
| أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ؟ مُنْذُ ٱلْبَعِيدِ صَنَعْتُهُ، مُنْذُ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ صَوَّرْتُهُ. ٱلْآنَ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ. فَتَكُونُ لِتَخْرِيبِ مُدُنٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ حَتَّى تَصِيرَ رَوَابِيَ خَرِبَةً. | ٢٥ 25 |
Have you not heard from afar [that] I made it, From days of old that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it becomes a desolation, Ruinous heaps [are] fortified cities,
| فَسُكَّانُهَا قِصَارُ ٱلْأَيْدِي قَدِ ٱرْتَاعُوا وَخَجِلُوا، صَارُوا كَعُشْبِ ٱلْحَقْلِ وَكَالنَّبَاتِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ، كَحَشِيشِ ٱلسُّطُوحِ وَكَمَلْفُوحٍ قَبْلَ نُمُوِّهِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And their inhabitants [are] feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up, They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted grain—before it has risen up!
| وَلَكِنِّي عَالِمٌ بِجُلُوسِكَ وَخُرُوجِكَ وَدُخُولِكَ وَهَيَجَانِكَ عَلَيَّ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And your sitting down, and your going out, And your coming in, I have known, And your anger toward Me;
| لِأَنَّ هَيَجَانَكَ عَلَيَّ وَعَجْرَفَتَكَ قَدْ صَعِدَا إِلَى أُذُنَيَّ، أَضَعُ خِزَامَتِي فِي أَنْفِكَ وَلِجَامِي فِي شَفَتَيْكَ، وَأَرُدُّكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي جِئْتَ فِيهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Because of your anger toward Me, And your noise—it came up into My ears, I have put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And have caused you to turn back In the way in which you came.
| «وَهَذِهِ لَكَ عَلَامَةٌ: تَأْكُلُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلسَّنَةَ زِرِّيعًا، وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ خِلْفَةً. وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلثَّالِثَةُ فَفِيهَا تَزْرَعُونَ وَتَحْصِدُونَ وَتَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا وَتَأْكُلُونَ أَثْمَارَهَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
And this [is] the sign to you, Food of the year [is] the spontaneous growth, And in the second year the self-produced, And in the third year you sow, and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruits.
| وَيَعُودُ ٱلنَّاجُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلْبَاقُونَ، يَتَأَصَّلُونَ إِلَى أَسْفَلُ وَيَصْنَعُونَ ثَمَرًا إِلَى مَا فَوْقُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And it has continued—The escaped of the house of Judah That has been left—to take root beneath, And has made fruit upward.
| لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَخْرُجُ ٱلْبَقِيَّةُ، وَٱلنَّاجُونَ مِنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ. غَيْرَةُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا. | ٣١ 31 |
For a remnant goes out from Jerusalem, And an escape from Mount Zion; The zeal of YHWH [of Hosts] does this.
| «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ: لَا يَدْخُلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، وَلَا يَرْمِي هُنَاكَ سَهْمًا، وَلَا يَتَقَدَّمُ عَلَيْهَا بِتُرْسٍ، وَلَا يُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا مِتْرَسَةً. | ٣٢ 32 |
Therefore, thus said YHWH, Concerning the king of Asshur: He does not come into this city, Nor does he shoot an arrow there, Nor does he come before it with shield, Nor does he pour out a mound against it.
| فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ فِيهِ يَرْجِعُ، وَإِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَا يَدْخُلُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٣ 33 |
In the way that he comes in—In it he turns back, And to this city he does not come in, A declaration of YHWH—
| وَأُحَامِي عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِأُخَلِّصَهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي وَمِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي». | ٣٤ 34 |
And I have covered over this city, To save it for My own sake, And for the sake of My servant David.”
| وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ أَنَّ مَلَاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ خَرَجَ وَضَرَبَ مِنْ جَيْشِ أَشُّورَ مِئَةَ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفًا. وَلَمَّا بَكَّرُوا صَبَاحًا إِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعًا جُثَثٌ مَيْتَةٌ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And it comes to pass, in that night, that a messenger of YHWH goes out, and strikes one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of Asshur, and they rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them [are] dead corpses.
| فَٱنْصَرَفَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَذَهَبَ رَاجِعًا وَأَقَامَ فِي نِينَوَى. | ٣٦ 36 |
And Sennacherib king of Asshur journeys, and goes, and turns back, and dwells in Nineveh;
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ سَاجِدٌ فِي بَيْتِ نِسْرُوخَ إِلَهِهِ، ضَرَبَهُ أَدْرَمَّلَكُ وَشَرَآصَرُ ٱبْنَاهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَنَجَوَا إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَارَاطَ. وَمَلَكَ آسَرْحَدُّونُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٣٧ 37 |
and it comes to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch, and [his sons] Adramelech and Sharezar have struck him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and his son Esar-Haddon reigns in his stead.
