< إِشَعْيَاءَ 38 >
فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ مَرِضَ حَزَقِيَّا لِلْمَوْتِ، فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَوْصِ بَيْتَكَ لِأَنَّكَ تَمُوتُ وَلَا تَعِيشُ». | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass at that time, [that] Ezekias was sick even to death. And Esaias the prophet the son of Amos came to him, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Give orders concerning your house: for you shall die, and not live.
فَوَجَّهَ حَزَقِيَّا وَجْهَهُ إِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ وَصَلَّى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ | ٢ 2 |
And Ezekias turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
وَقَالَ: «آهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱذْكُرْ كَيْفَ سِرْتُ أَمَامَكَ بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ وَبِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ وَفَعَلْتُ ٱلْحَسَنَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». وَبَكَى حَزَقِيَّا بُكَاءً عَظِيمًا. | ٣ 3 |
Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before you in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in your sight. And Ezekias wept bitterly.
فَصَارَ قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِشَعْيَاءَ قَائِلًا: | ٤ 4 |
And the word of the Lord came to Esaias, saying, Go, and say to Ezekias,
«ٱذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِحَزَقِيَّا: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ دَاوُدَ أَبِيكَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَلَاتَكَ. قَدْ رَأَيْتُ دُمُوعَكَ. هَأَنَذَا أُضِيفُ إِلَى أَيَّامِكَ خَمْسَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً. | ٥ 5 |
Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, and seen your tears: behold, I [will] add to your time fifteen years.
وَمِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ أُنْقِذُكَ وَهَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. وَأُحَامِي عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ٦ 6 |
And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city.
وَهَذِهِ لَكَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَفْعَلُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ: | ٧ 7 |
And this [shall be] a sign to you from the Lord, that God will do this thing;
هَأَنَذَا أُرَجِّعُ ظِلَّ ٱلدَّرَجَاتِ ٱلَّذِي نَزَلَ فِي دَرَجَاتِ آحَازَ بِٱلشَّمْسِ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ». فَرَجَعَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ فِي ٱلدَّرَجَاتِ ٱلَّتِي نَزَلَتْهَا. | ٨ 8 |
behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of your father the sun has gone down—I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down.
كِتَابَةٌ لِحَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا إِذْ مَرِضَ وَشُفِيَ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ: | ٩ 9 |
THE PRAYER OF EZEKIAS KING OF JUDEA, WHEN HE HAD BEEN SICK, AND WAS RECOVERED FROM HIS SICKNESS.
أَنَا قُلْتُ: «فِي عِزِّ أَيَّامِي أَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَبْوَابِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. قَدْ أُعْدِمْتُ بَقِيَّةَ سِنِيَّ. (Sheol ) | ١٠ 10 |
I said in the end of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I shall part with the remainder of my years. (Sheol )
قُلْتُ: لَا أَرَى ٱلرَّبَّ. ٱلرَّبَّ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. لَا أَنْظُرُ إِنْسَانًا بَعْدُ مَعَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْفَانِيَةِ. | ١١ 11 |
I said, I shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man.
مَسْكِنِي قَدِ ٱنْقَلَعَ وَٱنْتَقَلَ عَنِّي كَخَيْمَةِ ٱلرَّاعِي. لَفَفْتُ كَٱلْحَائِكِ حَيَاتِي. مِنَ ٱلنَّوْلِ يَقْطَعُنِي. ٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱللَّيْلَ تُفْنِينِي. | ١٢ 12 |
[My life] has failed from amongst my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down [again]: my breath was with me as a weaver's web, when she that weaves draws near to cut off [the] thread.
صَرَخْتُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ. كَٱلْأَسَدِ هَكَذَا يُهَشِّمُ جَمِيعَ عِظَامِي. ٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلَّلَيْلَ تُفْنِينِي. | ١٣ 13 |
In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day [even] to night.
كَسُنُونةٍ مُزَقْزِقةٍ هَكَذَا أَصِيحُ. أَهْدِرُ كَحَمَامَةٍ. قَدْ ضَعُفَتْ عَيْنَايَ نَاظِرَةً إِلَى ٱلعَلَاءِ. يَارَبُّ، قَدْ تَضَايَقْتُ. كُنْ لِي ضَامِنًا. | ١٤ 14 |
As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me, and removed the sorrow of my soul.
بِمَاذَا أَتَكَلَّمُ، فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي وَهُوَ قَدْ فَعَلَ. أَتَمَشَّى مُتَمَهِّلًا كُلَّ سِنِيَّ مِن أَجْلِ مَرَارَةِ نَفْسِي. | ١٥ 15 |
أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ، بِهَذِهِ يَحْيَوْنَ، وَبِهَا كُلُّ حَيَاةِ رُوحِي فَتَشْفِينِي وَتُحْيِينِي. | ١٦ 16 |
[Yes], O Lord, for it was told you concerning this; and you have revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live.
هُوَذَا لِلسَّلَامَةِ قَدْ تَحَوَّلَتْ لِيَ ٱلْمَرَارَةُ، وَأَنْتَ تَعَلَّقْتَ بِنَفْسِي مِنْ وَهْدَةِ ٱلْهَلَاكِ، فَإِنَّكَ طَرَحْتَ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِكَ كُلَّ خَطَايَايَ. | ١٧ 17 |
For you have chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and you have cast all [my] sins behind me.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْهَاوِيَةَ لَا تَحْمَدُكَ. ٱلْمَوْتُ لَا يُسَبِّحُكَ. لَا يَرْجُو ٱلْهَابِطُونَ إِلَى ٱلْجُبِّ أَمَانَتَكَ. (Sheol ) | ١٨ 18 |
For they that are in the grave shall not praise you, neither shall the dead bless you, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for your mercy. (Sheol )
ٱلْحَيُّ ٱلْحَيُّ هُوَ يَحْمَدُكَ كَمَا أَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ. ٱلْأَبُ يُعَرِّفُ ٱلْبَنِينَ حَقَّكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
The living shall bless you, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare your righteousness,
ٱلرَّبُّ لِخَلَاصِي. فَنَعْزِفُ بِأَوْتَارِنَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِنَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ٢٠ 20 |
O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing you with the lute all the days of my life before the house of God.
وَكَانَ إِشَعْيَاءُ قَدْ قَالَ: «لِيَأْخُذُوا قُرْصَ تِينٍ وَيَضْمُدُوهُ عَلَى ٱلدَّبْلِ فَيَبْرَأَ». | ٢١ 21 |
Now Esaias had said to Ezekias; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaster, and you shall be well.
وَحَزَقِيَّا قَالَ: «مَا هِيَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ أَنِّي أَصْعَدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟». | ٢٢ 22 |
And Ezekias said, This is a sign to Ezekias, that I shall go up to the house of God.
