اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 20

١ 1 فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ مَرِضَ حَزَقِيَّا لِلْمَوْتِ، فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ إِشَعْيَا بْنُ آمُوصَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَوْصِ بَيْتَكَ لِأَنَّكَ تَمُوتُ وَلَا تَعِيشُ».

In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

٢ 2 فَوَجَّهَ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ وَصَلَّى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

And he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Jehovah saying,

٣ 3 «آهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱذْكُرْ كَيْفَ سِرْتُ أَمَامَكَ بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ وَبِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ، وَفَعَلْتُ ٱلْحَسَنَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». وَبَكَى حَزَقِيَّا بُكَاءً عَظِيمًا.

Ah! Jehovah, remember, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done what is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept much.

٤ 4 وَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِشَعْيَا إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْوُسْطَى حَتَّى كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلًا:

And it came to pass before Isaiah had gone out into the middle city that the word of Jehovah came to him saying,

٥ 5 «ٱرْجِعْ وَقُلْ لِحَزَقِيَّا رَئِيسِ شَعْبِي: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ دَاوُدَ أَبِيكَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَلَاتَكَ. قَدْ رَأَيْتُ دُمُوعَكَ. هَأَنَذَا أَشْفِيكَ. فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ تَصْعَدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Return, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears; behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up to the house of Jehovah;

٦ 6 وَأَزِيدُ عَلَى أَيَّامِكَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَأُنْقِذُكَ مِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ مَعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَأُحَامِي عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي».

and I will add to thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

٧ 7 فَقَالَ إِشَعْيَا: «خُذُوا قُرْصَ تِينٍ». فَأَخَذُوهَا وَوَضَعُوهَا عَلَى ٱلدَّبْلِ فَبَرِئَ.

And Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

٨ 8 وَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا لِإِشَعْيَا: «مَا ٱلْعَلَامَةُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَشْفِينِي فَأَصْعَدَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟»

And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What [shall be] the sign that Jehovah will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of Jehovah the third day?

٩ 9 فَقَالَ إِشَعْيَا: «هَذِهِ لَكَ عَلَامَةٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَفْعَلُ ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ: هَلْ يَسِيرُ ٱلظِّلُّ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ أَوْ يَرْجِعُ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ؟».

And Isaiah said, This [shall be] the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?

١٠ 10 فَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا: «إِنَّهُ يَسِيرٌ عَلَى ٱلظِّلِّ أَنْ يَمْتَدَّ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ. لَا! بَلْ يَرْجِعُ ٱلظِّلُّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ!».

And Hezekiah said, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: no, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.

١١ 11 فَدَعَا إِشَعْيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَأَرْجَعَ ٱلظِّلَّ بِٱلدَّرَجَاتِ ٱلَّتِي نَزَلَ بِهَا بِدَرَجَاتِ آحَازَ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ.

And Isaiah the prophet cried to Jehovah, and he brought the shadow back on the degrees by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward.

١٢ 12 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ أَرْسَلَ بَرُودَخُ بَلَادَانُ بْنُ بَلَادَانَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ رَسَائِلَ وَهَدِيَّةً إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا، لِأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَّ حَزَقِيَّا قَدْ مَرِضَ.

At that time Berodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent a letter and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

١٣ 13 فَسَمِعَ لَهُمْ حَزَقِيَّا وَأَرَاهُمْ كُلَّ بَيْتِ ذَخَائِرِهِ، وَٱلْفِضَّةَ وَٱلذَّهَبَ وَٱلْأَطْيَابَ وَٱلزَّيْتَ ٱلطَّيِّبَ، وَكُلَّ بَيْتِ أَسْلِحَتِهِ وَكُلَّ مَا وُجِدَ فِي خَزَائِنِهِ. لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ لَمْ يُرِهِمْ إِيَّاهُ حَزَقِيَّا فِي بَيْتِهِ وَفِي كُلِّ سَلْطَنَتِهِ.

And Hezekiah hearkened to them, and shewed them all his treasure-house, the silver and the gold, and the spices and the fine oil, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found among his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not shew them.

١٤ 14 فَجَاءَ إِشَعْيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا وَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَاذَا قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ؟ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءُوا إِلَيْكَ؟» فَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا: «جَاءُوا مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، مِنْ بَابِلَ»

Then came the prophet Isaiah to king Hezekiah and said to him, What said these men? and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, from Babylon.

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا رَأَوْا فِي بَيْتِكَ؟» فَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا: «رَأَوْا كُلَّ مَا فِي بَيْتِي. لَيْسَ فِي خَزَائِنِي شَيْءٌ لَمْ أُرِهِمْ إِيَّاهُ».

And he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah said, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewn them.

١٦ 16 فَقَالَ إِشَعْيَا لِحَزَقِيَّا: «ٱسْمَعْ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ:

And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah:

١٧ 17 هُوَذَا تَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ يُحْمَلُ فِيهَا كُلُّ مَا فِي بَيْتِكَ، وَمَا ذَخَرَهُ آبَاؤُكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى بَابِلَ. لَا يُتْرَكُ شَيْءٌ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Behold, days come that all that is in thy house, and what thy fathers have laid up until this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.

١٨ 18 وَيُؤْخَذُ مِنْ بَنِيكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْكَ، ٱلَّذِينَ تَلِدُهُمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ خِصْيَانًا فِي قَصْرِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ».

And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be chamberlains in the palace of the king of Babylon.

١٩ 19 فَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا لِإِشَعْيَا: «جَيِّدٌ هُوَ قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتَ بِهِ». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «فَكَيْفَ لَا، إِنْ يَكُنْ سَلَامٌ وَأَمَانٌ فِي أَيَّامِي؟».

And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not so? if only there shall be peace and truth in my days!

٢٠ 20 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ حَزَقِيَّا وَكُلُّ جَبَرُوتِهِ، وَكَيْفَ عَمِلَ ٱلْبِرْكَةَ وَٱلْقَنَاةَ وَأَدْخَلَ ٱلْمَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool and the aqueduct, and brought the water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

٢١ 21 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ حَزَقِيَّا مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَمَلَكَ مَنَسَّى ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
