< إِشَعْيَاءَ 37 >
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ حَزَقِيَّا ذَلِكَ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَتَغَطَّى بِمِسْحٍ وَدَخَلَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١ 1 |
When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD’s house.
وَأَرْسَلَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَشَبْنَةَ ٱلْكَاتِبَ وَشُيُوخَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مُتَغَطِّينَ بِمُسُوحٍ إِلَى إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ. | ٢ 2 |
He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ حَزَقِيَّا: هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ شِدَّةٍ وَتَأْدِيبٍ وَإِهَانَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَجِنَّةَ دَنَتْ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْلِدِ وَلَا قُوَّةَ عَلَى ٱلْوِلَادَةِ. | ٣ 3 |
They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to give birth.
لَعَلَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَ رَبْشَاقَى ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ سَيِّدُهُ لِيُعَيِّرَ ٱلْإِلَهَ ٱلْحَيَّ، فَيُوَبِّخَ عَلَى ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ. فَٱرْفَعْ صَلَاةً لِأَجْلِ ٱلْبَقِيَّةِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةِ». | ٤ 4 |
It may be the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”
فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ ٱلْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا إِلَى إِشَعْيَاءَ. | ٥ 5 |
So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِشَعْيَاءُ: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِسَيِّدِكُمْ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَخَفْ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتَهُ، ٱلَّذِي جَدَّفَ عَلَيَّ بِهِ غِلْمَانُ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ. | ٦ 6 |
Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
هَأَنَذَا أَجْعَلُ فِيهِ رُوحًا فَيَسْمَعُ خَبَرًا وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، وَأُسْقِطُهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ فِي أَرْضِهِ». | ٧ 7 |
Behold, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’”
فَرَجَعَ رَبْشَاقَى وَوَجَدَ مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ يُحَارِبُ لِبْنَةَ، لِأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَّهُ ٱرْتَحَلَ عَنْ لَخِيشَ. | ٨ 8 |
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.
وَسَمِعَ عَنْ تِرْهَاقَةَ مَلِكِ كُوشَ قَوْلًا: «قَدْ خَرَجَ لِيُحَارِبَكَ». فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلًا: | ٩ 9 |
He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
«هَكَذَا تُكَلِّمُونَ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا قَائِلِينَ: لَا يَخْدَعْكَ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ مُتَوَكِّلٌ عَلَيْهِ، قَائِلًا: لَا تُدْفَعُ أُورُشَلِيمُ إِلَى يَدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ. | ١٠ 10 |
“Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
إِنَّكَ قَدْ سَمِعْتَ مَا فَعَلَ مُلُوكُ أَشُّورَ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي لِتَحْرِيمِهَا. وَهَلْ تَنْجُو أَنْتَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
هَلْ أَنْقَذَ آلِهَةُ ٱلْأُمَمِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَهْلَكَهُمْ آبَائِي، جُوزَانَ وَحَارَانَ وَرَصَفَ وَبَنِي عَدَنَ، ٱلَّذِينَ فِي تَلَسَّارَ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
أَيْنَ مَلِكُ حَمَاةَ وَمَلِكُ أَرْفَادَ وَمَلِكُ مَدِينَةِ سَفَرْوَايِمَ وَهَيْنَعَ وَعِوَّا؟». | ١٣ 13 |
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
فَأَخَذَ حَزَقِيَّا ٱلرَّسَائِلَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرُّسُلِ وَقَرَأَهَا، ثُمَّ صَعِدَ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَنَشَرَهَا حَزَقِيَّا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ١٤ 14 |
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the LORD’s house, and spread it before the LORD.
وَصَلَّى حَزَقِيَّا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١٥ 15 |
Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
«يَارَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْجَالِسَ فَوْقَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ، أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْإِلَهُ وَحْدَكَ لِكُلِّ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَنْتَ صَنَعْتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. | ١٦ 16 |
“LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
أَمِلْ يَارَبُّ أُذُنَكَ وَٱسْمَعِ. ٱفْتَحْ يَارَبُّ عَيْنَيْكَ وَٱنْظُرْ، وَٱسْمَعْ كُلَّ كَلَامِ سَنْحَارِيبَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ لِيُعَيِّرَ ٱللهَ ٱلْحَيَّ. | ١٧ 17 |
Turn your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and behold. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
حَقًّا يَارَبُّ إِنَّ مُلُوكَ أَشُّورَ قَدْ خَرَّبُوا كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأَرْضَهُمْ، | ١٨ 18 |
Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
وَدَفَعُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا آلِهَةً بَلْ صَنْعَةُ أَيْدِي ٱلنَّاسِ، خَشَبٌ وَحَجَرٌ، فَأَبَادُوهُمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا خَلِّصْنَا مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتَعْلَمَ مَمَالِكُ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَحْدَكَ». | ٢٠ 20 |
Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD, even you only.”
فَأَرْسَلَ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي صَلَّيْتَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ سَنْحَارِيبَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ: | ٢١ 21 |
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “The LORD, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ: اِحْتَقَرَتْكَ. ٱسْتَهْزَأَتْ بِكَ ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ ٱبْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ. نَحْوَكَ أَنْغَضَتِ ٱبْنَةُ أُورُشَلِيمَ رَأْسَهَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
this is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
مَنْ عَيَّرْتَ وَجَدَّفْتَ، وَعَلَى مَنْ عَلَّيْتَ صَوْتًا، وَقَدْ رَفَعْتَ إِلَى ٱلْعَلَاءِ عَيْنَيْكَ؟ عَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ! | ٢٣ 23 |
Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِكَ عَيَّرْتَ ٱلسَّيِّدَ، وَقُلْتَ: بِكَثْرَةِ مَرْكَبَاتِي قَدْ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى عُلُوِّ ٱلْجِبَالِ، عِقَابِ لُبْنَانَ، فَأَقْطَعُ أَرْزَهُ ٱلطَّوِيلَ وَأَفْضَلَ سَرْوِهِ، وَأَدْخُلُ أَقْصَى عُلُوِّهِ، وَعْرَ كَرْمَلِهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
By your servants, you have defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
أَنَا قَدْ حَفَرْتُ وَشَرِبْتُ مِيَاهًا، وَأُنَشِّفُ بِبَطْنِ قَدَمِي جَمِيعَ خُلْجَانِ مِصْرَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ؟ مُنْذُ ٱلْبَعِيدِ صَنَعْتُهُ. مُنْذُ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ صَوَّرْتُهُ. ٱلْآنَ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ. فَتَكُونُ لِتَخْرِيبِ مُدُنٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ حَتَّى تَصِيرَ رَوَابِيَ خَرِبَةً. | ٢٦ 26 |
“‘Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps.
فَسُكَّانُهَا قِصَارُ ٱلْأَيْدِي قَدِ ٱرْتَاعُوا وَخَجِلُوا. صَارُوا كَعُشْبِ ٱلْحَقْلِ وَكَٱلنَّبَاتِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ، كَحَشِيشِ ٱلسُّطُوحِ، وَكَٱلْمَلْفُوحِ قَبْلَ نُمُوِّهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.
وَلَكِنَّنِي عَالِمٌ بِجُلُوسِكَ وَخُرُوجِكَ وَدُخُولِكَ وَهَيَجَانِكَ عَلَيَّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
لِأَنَّ هَيَجَانَكَ عَلَيَّ وَعَجْرَفَتَكَ قَدْ صَعِدَا إِلَى أُذُنَيَّ، أَضَعُ خِزَامَتِي فِي أَنْفِكَ وَشَكِيمَتِي فِي شَفَتَيْكَ، وَأَرُدُّكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي جِئْتَ فِيهِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
«وَهَذِهِ لَكَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ: تَأْكُلُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلسَّنَةَ زِرِّيعًا، وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ خِلْفَةً، وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلثَّالِثَةُ فَفِيهَا تَزْرَعُونَ وَتَحْصِدُونَ، وَتَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا وَتَأْكُلُونَ أَثْمَارَهَا. | ٣٠ 30 |
“‘This shall be the sign to you: You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from it; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
وَيَعُودُ ٱلنَّاجُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا ٱلْبَاقُونَ يَتَأَصَّلُونَ إِلَى أَسْفَلَ، وَيَصْنَعُونَ ثَمَرًا إِلَى مَا فَوْقُ. | ٣١ 31 |
The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَخْرُجُ بَقِيَّةٌ، وَنَاجُونَ مِنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ. غَيْرَةُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا. | ٣٢ 32 |
For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.’
«لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ: لَا يَدْخُلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، وَلَا يَرْمِي هُنَاكَ سَهْمًا، وَلَا يَتَقَدَّمُ عَلَيْهَا بِتُرْسٍ، وَلَا يُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا مِتْرَسَةً. | ٣٣ 33 |
“Therefore the LORD says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ فِيهِ يَرْجِعُ، وَإِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَا يَدْخُلُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٤ 34 |
He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says the LORD.
وَأُحَامِي عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِأُخَلِّصَهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي». | ٣٥ 35 |
‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”
فَخَرَجَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَضَرَبَ مِنْ جَيْشِ أَشُّورَ مِئَةً وَخَمْسَةً وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفًا. فَلَمَّا بَكَّرُوا صَبَاحًا إِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعًا جُثَثٌ مَيِّتَةٌ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Then the LORD’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
فَٱنْصَرَفَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَذَهَبَ رَاجِعًا وَأَقَامَ فِي نِينَوَى. | ٣٧ 37 |
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
وَفِيمَا هُوَ سَاجِدٌ فِي بَيْتِ نِسْرُوخَ إِلَهِهِ ضَرَبَهُ أَدْرَمَّلَكُ وَشَرْآصَرُ ٱبْنَاهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَنَجَوَا إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَارَاطَ. وَمَلَكَ أَسَرْحَدُّونَ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٣٨ 38 |
As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
