2 مُلُوك 18
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لِحُكْمِ هُوشَعَ بْنِ أَيَلَةَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، اعْتَلَى حَزَقِيَّا بْنُ آحَازَ عَرْشَ يَهُوذَا، | ١ 1 |
Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
| وَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ تِسْعاً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ أَبِي ابْنَةُ زَكَرِيَّا، | ٢ 2 |
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
| وَصَنَعَ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى نَهْجِ أَبِيهِ دَاوُدَ، | ٣ 3 |
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.
| فَأَزَالَ مَعَابِدَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، وَحَطَّمَ التَّمَاثِيلَ، وَقَطَّعَ أَصْنَامَ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَسَحَقَ حَيَّةَ النُّحَاسِ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا مُوسَى لأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ظَلُّوا حَتَّى تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ يُوْقِدُونَ لَهَا، وَدَعُوهَا نَحُشْتَانَ. | ٤ 4 |
He removed the high places, broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
| وَاتَّكَلَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمْ يَأْتِ قَبْلَهُ وَلا بَعْدَهُ مَلِكٌ نَظِيرُهُ بَيْنَ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا. | ٥ 5 |
He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
| وَالْتَصَقَ بِالرَّبِّ وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ، بَلْ أَطَاعَ وَصَايَاهُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ بِها الرَّبُّ مُوسَى. | ٦ 6 |
For he joined with the LORD. He did not depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
| لِذَلِكَ كَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَهُ وَكَلَّلَ أَعْمَالَهُ بِالنَّجَاحِ. وَثَارَ عَلَى مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ وَأَبَى الْخُضُوعَ لَهُ، | ٧ 7 |
The LORD was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and did not serve him.
| وَدَحَرَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ بُرْجِ النَّوَاطِيرِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُحَصَّنَةِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ غَزَّةَ وَضَوَاحِيَهَا. | ٨ 8 |
He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ لِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا، الْمُوَافِقَةِ لِلسَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ لاِعْتِلاءِ هُوشَعَ بْنِ أَيْلَةَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، زَحَفَ شَلْمَنْأَسَرُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ عَلَى السَّامِرَةِ وَحَاصَرَهَا، | ٩ 9 |
In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.
| وَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ الاسْتِيلاءِ عَلَيْهَا فِي نِهَايَةِ ثَلاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ، أَيْ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّادِسَةِ لِمُلْكِ حَزَقِيَّا، الْمُوَافِقَةِ لِلسَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ لِحُكْمِ هُوشَعَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ 10 |
At the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
| وَسَبَى مَلِكُ أَشُورَ سُكَّانَ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَشُورَ، وَأَسْكَنَهُمْ فِي مَدِينَةِ حَلَحَ وَعَلَى ضِفَافِ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ جُوزَانَ وَفِي مُدُنِ مَادِي، | ١١ 11 |
The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
| لأَنَّهُمْ أَبَوْا الاسْتِمَاعَ لِصَوْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، وَنَكَثُوا عَهْدَهُ وَكُلَّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَعْمَلُوا بِها. | ١٢ 12 |
because they did not obey the LORD their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear it or do it.
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا اجْتَاحَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ جَمِيعَ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا الْحَصِينَةِ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا. | ١٣ 13 |
Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.
| وَأَرْسَلَ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا يَقُولُ لِمَلِكِ أَشُورَ فِي لَخِيشَ: «أَخْطَأْتُ، فَارْتَحِلْ عَنِّي، وَأَنَا أَدْفَعُ مَا تَفْرِضُهُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ جِزْيَةٍ». فَفَرَضَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ عَلَى حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا ثَلاثَ مِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ (نَحْوَ أَلْفٍ وَثَمَانِينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً)، وثَلاثِينَ وَزْنَةً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ (نَحْوَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامَاتٍ). | ١٤ 14 |
Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
| فَجَمَعَ حَزَقِيَّا كُلَّ مَا فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنِ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَدَفَعَهَا لَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house.
| كَمَا قَشَّرَ الذَّهَبَ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ غَشَّى بِهِ أَبْوَابَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَالدَّعَائِمَ، وَبَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى مَلِكِ أَشُورَ. | ١٦ 16 |
At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the LORD’s temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
| وَرَغْمَ ذَلِكَ أَرْسَلَ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِدَ جَيْشِهِ وَوَزِيرَ خَزَائِنِهِ وَرَئِيسَ أَرْكَانِ قُوَّاتِهِ مِنْ لَخِيشَ، عَلَى رَأْسِ جَيْشٍ جَرَّارٍ لِمُحَاصَرَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. فَزَحَفُوا عَلَيْهَا، وَأَحَاطُوا بِها وَعَسْكَرُوا عِنْدَ قَنَاةِ الْبِرْكَةِ الْعُلْيَا فِي طَرِيقِ حَقْلِ الْقَصَّارِ. | ١٧ 17 |
The king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.
| فَاسْتَدْعَوْا الْمَلِكَ. فَبَعَثَ حَزَقِيَّا إِلَيْهِمْ أَلْيَاقِيمَ بْنَ حِلْقِيَّا مُدِيرَ شُؤونِ الْقَصْرِ. وَشِبْنَةَ الْكَاتِبَ وَيُوَاخَ بْنَ آسَافَ مُسَجِّلَ الْمَلِكِ. | ١٨ 18 |
When they had called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came out to them.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ قَائِدُ جَيْشِ أَشُورَ: «بَلِّغُوا حَزَقِيَّا أَنَّ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الْمَلِكُ الْعَظِيمُ، مَلِكُ أَشُورَ: عَلَى مَاذَا تَتَّكِلُ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
| أَظَنَنْتَ أَنَّ مُجَرَّدَ الْكَلامِ يُشَكِّلُ خُطَّةً وَقُوَّةً لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ؟ عَلَى مَنِ اعْتَمَدْتَ حَتَّى تَمَرَّدْتَ عَلَيَّ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
| هَا أَنْتَ تَتَّكِلُ عَلَى عُكَّازِ هَذِهِ الْقَصَبَةِ الْمَرْضُوضَةِ مِصْرَ، الَّتِي تَثْقُبُ كَفَّ كُلِّ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَيْهَا! هَكَذَا يَكُونُ فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ! | ٢١ 21 |
Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
| وَإذَا قُلْتُمْ لِي إِنَّكُمْ تَوَكَّلْتُمْ عَلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. أَفَلَيْسَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَزَالَ حَزَقِيَّا مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِ وَمَذَابِحَهُ، وَأَمَرَ يَهُوذَا وَأَهْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَنْ يَسْجُدُوا فَقَطْ أَمَامَ هَذَا الْمَذْبَحِ الْقَائِمِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is not that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?
| وَالآنَ لِيَعْقِدْ حَزَقِيَّا رِهَاناً مَعَ سَيِّدِي مَلِكِ أَشُورَ، فَأُعْطِيَكَ أَلْفَيْ فَرَسٍ، إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَجِدَ لَهَا فُرْسَاناً يَمْتَطُونَهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
| فَكَيْفَ يُمْكِنُكَ أَنْ تَصُدَّ قَائِداً وَاحِداً مِنْ أَقَلِّ قَادَةِ سَيِّدِي شَأْناً، فِي حِينِ أَنَّكَ تَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى مِصْرَ لإِمْدَادِكَ بِالْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَالْفُرْسَانِ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
| ثُمَّ هَلْ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَشُورَةِ الرَّبِّ زَحَفْتُ عَلَى هَذِهِ الدِّيَارِ لأُدَمِّرَهَا؟ لَقَدْ قَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ هَاجِمْ هَذِهِ الدِّيَارَ وَخَرِّبْهَا». | ٢٥ 25 |
Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”’”
| فَقَالَ أَلْيَاقِيمُ بْنُ حِلْقِيَّا وَشِبْنَةُ وَيُوَاخُ لِقَائِدِ الْجَيْشِ: «خَاطِبْ عَبِيدَكَ بِالأَرَامِيَّةِ لأَنَّنَا نَفْهَمُهَا، وَلا تُخَاطِبْنَا بِاللُّغَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ لِئَلّا يَسْمَعَ الشَّعْبُ الْمُتَجَمِّعُ عَلَى السُّورِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. Do not speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
| فَأَجَابَهُمْ قَائِدُ الْجَيْشِ: «أَتَظُنُّ أَنَّ سَيِّدِي قَدْ أَرْسَلَنَا لِنَتَحَدَّثَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَإِلَى مَلِكِكُمْ فَقَطْ بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ؟ أَلَيْسَ هَذَا الْكَلامُ مُوَجَّهاً إِلَى الرِّجَالِ الْمُتَجَمِّعِينَ عَلَى السُّورِ الَّذِينَ سَيَأْكُلُونَ مِثْلَكُمْ بِرَازَهُمْ وَيَشْرَبُونَ بَوْلَهُمْ؟» | ٢٧ 27 |
But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you, to speak these words? Has not he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?”
| ثُمَّ وَقَفَ قَائِدُ الْجَيْشِ وَنَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ قَائِلاً بِالْيَهُودِيَّةِ: «اسْمَعُوا كَلامَ الْمَلِكِ الْعَظِيمِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spoke, saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
| لَا يَخْدَعْكُمْ حَزَقِيَّا لأَنَّهُ عَاجِزٌ عَنْ إِنْقَاذِكُمْ | ٢٩ 29 |
The king says, ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
| وَلا يُقْنِعْكُمْ حَزَقِيَّا بِالاتِّكَالِ عَلَى الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: إِنَّهُ حَتْماً يُنْقِذُنَا وَلَنْ يَسْتَوْلِيَ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
| لَا تُصْغُوا إِلَيْهِ لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ: اعْقِدُوا مَعِي صُلْحاً، وَاسْتَسْلِمُوا إِلَيَّ، فَيَأْكُلَ عِنْدَئِذٍ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ كَرْمِهِ وَمِنْ تِينَتِهِ وَيَشْرَبَ مِنْ بِئْرِهِ. | ٣١ 31 |
Do not listen to Hezekiah.’ For the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat from his own vine, and everyone from his own fig tree, and everyone drink water from his own cistern;
| إِلَى أَنْ آتِيَ وَأَنْقُلَكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضٍ كَأَرْضِكُمْ، أَرْضِ قَمْحٍ وَخَمْرٍ وَخُبْزٍ وَكُرُومٍ وَزَيْتُونٍ وَعَسَلٍ. فَاحْيَوْا وَلا تَمُوتُوا. لَا تُصْغُوا إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا لأَنَّهُ يُغْرِيكُمْ بِقَوْلِهِ إِنَّ الرَّبَّ لابُدَّ أَنْ يُنْقِذَنَا. | ٣٢ 32 |
until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live and not die. Do not listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.”
| فَهَلْ أَنْقَذَتْ آلِهَةُ الأُمَمِ أَرَاضِيهَا مِنْ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ؟ | ٣٣ 33 |
Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
| أَيْنَ آلِهَةُ حَمَاةَ وَأَرْفَادَ؟ أَيْنَ آلِهَةُ سَفْرَوَايِمَ وَهَيْنَعَ وَعَوَّا؟ هَلْ أَنْقَذَتِ السَّامِرَةَ مِنْ يَدِي؟ | ٣٤ 34 |
Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
| مَنْ مِنْ كُلِّ آلِهَةِ الْبِلادِ الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا أَنْقَذَ أَرْضَهُ مِنْ يَدِي، حَتَّى يُنْقِذَ الرَّبُّ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنِّي؟» | ٣٥ 35 |
Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
| فَصَمَتَ الشَّعْبُ وَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ بِكَلِمَةٍ، لأَنَّ الْمَلِكَ أَمَرَهُمْ بِعَدَمِ الرَّدِّ عَلَيْهِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
But the people stayed quiet, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Do not answer him.”
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ أَلْيَاقِيمُ بْنُ حِلْقِيَّا مُدِيرُ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْر، وَشِبْنَةُ الْكَاتِبُ وَيُوَاخُ بْنُ آسَافَ الْمُسَجِّلُ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا بِثِيَابٍ مُمَزَّقَةٍ، وَأَبْلَغُوهُ كَلامَ الْقَائِدِ الأَشُورِيِّ. | ٣٧ 37 |
Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him Rabshakeh’s words.
