2 مُلُوك 19
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ حَزَقِيَّا ذَلِكَ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَارْتَدَى مُسُوحاً وَلَجَأَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ١ 1 |
When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD’s house.
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ أَلْيَاقِيمَ مُدِيرَ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ وَشِبْنَةَ الْكَاتِبَ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَهُمْ مُرْتَدُونَ الْمُسُوحَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، | ٢ 2 |
He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
| فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ حَزَقِيَّا: هَذَا الْيَوْمُ هُوَ يَوْمُ ضِيقٍ وَإِهَانَةٍ وَكَرْبٍ، فَإِنَّنَا كَالأَجِنَّةِ الْمُشْرِفَةِ عَلَى الْوِلادَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَتَوَافَرَ لَهَا الْقُوَّةُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ. | ٣ 3 |
They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them.
| فَلَعَلَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يَسْمَعُ وَعِيدَ الْقَائِدِ الأَشُّورِيِّ الَّذِي أَوْفَدَهُ سَيِّدُهُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ، لِيُهِينَ الإِلَهَ الْحَيَّ فَيُعَاقِبَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ عَلَى مَا صَدَرَ مِنْهُ مِنْ تَعْيِيرٍ، فَصَلِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَقِيَّةِ النَّاجِيَةِ مِنَّا». | ٤ 4 |
It may be the LORD your God will hear all 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 رِجَالُ الْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا لإِشَعْيَاءَ، | ٥ 5 |
So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِشَعْيَاءُ: «بَلِّغوا سَيِّدَكُمْ: هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: لَا تَجْزَعْ مِمَّا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ تَجْدِيفِ رِجَالِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ عَلَيَّ. | ٦ 6 |
Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master this: ‘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.
| فَهَا خَبَرٌ سَيِّئٌ يَرِدُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ بِلادِهِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى الْعَوْدَةِ إِلَيْهَا حَيْثُ أَقْضِي عَلَيْهِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فِي عُقْرِ دَارِهِ». | 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.”’”
| وَعِنْدَمَا عَلِمَ قَائِدُ الْجَيْشِ الأَشُورِيُّ بِأَنَّ مَلِكَ أَشُورَ قَدِ ارْتَحَلَ عَنْ لَخِيشَ وَشَرَعَ فِي مُحَارَبَةِ لِبْنَةَ، انْسَحَبَ هُوَ أَيْضاً وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ هُنَاكَ. | ٨ 8 |
So Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
| وَبَلَغَ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ أَنَّ تُرْهَاقَةَ مَلِكَ كُوشٍ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِمُحَارَبَتِهِ، فَبَعَثَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى رُسُلاً إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلاً: | ٩ 9 |
When he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “Behold, he has come out to fight against you,” he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
| «هَذَا مَا تُبَلِّغُونَهُ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: لَا يَخْدَعْكَ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي تَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَمَا يَقُولُ لَنْ تَسْقُطَ أُورُشَلِيمُ فِي قَبْضَةِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ، | ١٠ 10 |
“Tell Hezekiah king of Judah this: ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
| فَهَا أَنْتَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ بِمَا أَلْحَقَهُ مُلُوكُ أَشُورَ بِكُلِّ الْبُلْدَانِ مِنْ تَدْمِيرٍ كَامِلٍ فَهَلْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَنْجُوَ أَنْتَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Will you be delivered?
| هَلْ أَنْقَذَتْ آلِهَةُ الأُمَمِ الأُخْرَى أَهْلَ جُوزَانَ وَحَارَانَ وَرَصْفَ وَبَنِي عَدَنَ الَّذِينَ فِي تَلَسَّارَ الَّذينَ أَفْنَاهُمْ آبَائِي؟ | 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 سَفْرَوَايِمَ وَهَيْنَعَ وَعَوَّا؟» | ١٣ 13 |
Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
| فَتَنَاوَلَ حَزَقِيَّا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ وَقَرَأَهُ، ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَبَسَطَهُ أَمَامَهُ. | 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 قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، الْمُتَرَبِّعُ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمَ، أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ إِلَهُ كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ. أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ خَلَقْتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, “LORD, the God of Israel, who are enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
| أَرْهِفْ يَا رَبُّ أُذُنَيْكَ وَاسْتَمِعْ. افْتَحْ يَا رَبُّ عَيْنَيْكَ وَانْظُرْ، وَاسْمَعْ كُلَّ تَهْدِيدَاتِ سَنْحَارِيبَ الَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا لِيُعَيِّرَ اللهَ الْحَيَّ. | ١٦ 16 |
Incline your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to defy the living God.
| حَقّاً يَا رَبُّ إِنَّ مُلُوكَ أَشُّورَ قَدْ أَهْلَكُوا الأُمَمَ وَدَمَّرُوا دِيَارَهُمْ، | ١٧ 17 |
Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
| وَطَرَحُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَأَبَادُوهَا لأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ فِعْلاً آلِهَةً بَلْ خَشَباً وَحِجَارَةً مِنْ صَنْعَةِ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ، | ١٨ 18 |
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.
| فَخَلِّصْنَا الآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتُدْرِكَ مَمَالِكُ الأَرْضِ بِأَسْرِهَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ». | ١٩ 19 |
Now therefore, LORD our God, save us, I beg you, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, LORD, are God alone.”
| فَبَعَثَ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلاً: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي تَضَرَّعْتَ إِلَيْهِ لِيُنْقِذَكَ مِنْ سَنْحَارِيبَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ». | ٢٠ 20 |
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says ‘You have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, and I have heard you.
| وَهَذَا هُوَ رَدُّ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِ: «هَا الْعَذْرَاءُ ابْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ قَدِ احْتَقَرَتْكَ وَاسْتَهْزَأَتْ بِكَ، وَهَزَّتِ ابْنَةُ أُورُشَلِيمَ رَأْسَهَا سُخْرِيَةً مِنْكَ. | ٢١ 21 |
This is the word that 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 عَلَيْهِ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ رَفَعْتَ صَوْتاً وَشَمَخْتَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ زَهْواً؟ أَعَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
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!
| لَقَدْ عَيَّرْتَ السَّيِّدَ عَلَى لِسَانِ رُسُلِكَ، وَقُلْتَ: بِكَثْرَةِ مَرْكَبَاتِي قَدْ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أَعَالِي الْجِبَالِ، وَبَلَغْتُ أَقَاصِي لُبْنَانَ قَاطِعاً أَطْوَلَ أَرْزِهِ وَخِيَارَ سَرْوِهِ وَاخْتَرَقْتُ أَبْعَدَ رُبُوعِهِ وأَفْضَلَ غَابَاتِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
By your messengers, 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, and I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees; and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
| قَدْ حَفَرْتُ آبَاراً فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ وَشَرِبْتُ مِيَاهاً، وَبِبَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ جَفَّفْتُ جَمِيعَ خُلْجَانِ مِصْرَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
I have dug and drunk strange waters, and I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt with the sole of my feet.”
| أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ؟ مُنْذُ زَمَنٍ طَوِيلٍ قَدَّرْتُ ذَلِكَ. مُنْذُ الأَيَّامِ الْقَدِيمَةِ قَرَّرْتُهُ وَهَا أَنَا الآنَ أُحَقِّقُهُ، إِذْ أَقَمْتُكَ لِتَدْمِيرِ مُدُنٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ فَتُحَوِّلُهَا إِلَى رَوَابِي خَرِبَةٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Haven’t you heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
| وَقَدْ خَارَتْ قُوَى أَهْلِهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا مُرْتَاعِينَ خَجِلِينَ، صَارُوا كَعُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ، كَالنَّبَاتِ اللَّيِّنِ وَكَحَشِيشِ السُّطُوحِ الذَّاوِي قَبْلَ نُمُوِّهِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
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 grain blasted before it has grown up.
| وَلَكِنِّي مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَى حَرَكَاتِكَ وَسَكَنَاتِكَ وَهَيَجَانِكَ عَلَيَّ. | ٢٧ 27 |
But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
| وَلأَنَّ ثَوْرَتَكَ عَلَيَّ وَعَجْرَفَتَكَ قَدْ بَلَغَتَا مَسَامِعِي، فَإِنِّي سَأَشْكُمُكَ بِخِزَامَتِي فِي أَنْفِكَ، وَأَضَعُ لِجَامِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَأُعِيدُكَ فِي نَفْسِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أَقْبَلْتَ مِنْهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
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 عَلامَةٌ لَكَ يَا حَزَقِيَّا: فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ تَأْكُلُونَ مِمَّا نَبَتَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ تَأْكُلُونَ مِمَّا يَنْبُتُ عَنْهُ، وَأَمَّا فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَتَزْرَعُونَ فِيهَا وَتَحْصُدُونَ وَتَغْرِسُونَ كُروُماً وَتَجْنُونَ أَثْمَارَهَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
“This will be the sign to you: This year, you will eat that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from that; and in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
| وَيَعُودُ النَّاجُونَ الْبَاقُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا، فَتَتَأَصَّلُ جُذُورُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَيَحْمِلُونَ أَثْمَاراً عَلَى أَغْصَانِهِمْ، | ٣٠ 30 |
The remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
| لأَنَّ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَخْرُجُ الْبَقِيَّةُ، وَمِنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَأْتِي النَّاجُونَ، فَغَيْرَةُ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا. | ٣١ 31 |
For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and out of Mount Zion those who shall escape. The LORD’s zeal will perform this.
| لِذَلِكَ فَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ: لَنْ يَدْخُلَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ وَلَنْ يُطْلِقَ عَلَيْهَا سَهْماً أَوْ يَتَقَدَّمَ نَحْوَهَا بِتُرْسٍ وَلَنْ يُقِيمَ عَلَيْهَا مِقْلاعاً. | ٣٢ 32 |
“Therefore the LORD says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there. He will not come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
| بَلْ يَرْجِعَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْهُ، وَلَنْ يَدْخُلَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٣٣ 33 |
He will return the same way that he came, and he will not come to this city,’ says the LORD.
| لأَنَّنِي أُدَافِعُ عَنْهَا، وَأُنْقِذُهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي، وَإِكْرَاماً لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي». | ٣٤ 34 |
‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for my servant David’s sake.’”
| وَحَدَثَ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَنَّ مَلاكَ الرَّبِّ قَتَلَ مِئَةً وَخَمْسَةً وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفاً مِنْ جَيْشِ الأَشُورِيِّينَ، فَمَا إِنْ طَلَعَ الصَّبَاحُ حَتَّى كَانَتِ الْجُثَثُ الْمَيْتَةُ تَمْلأُ الْمَكَانَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
That night, the LORD’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
| فَانْسَحَبَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ وَارْتَدَّ إِلَى بِلادِهِ وَمَكَثَ فِي نِينَوَى. | ٣٦ 36 |
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went home, and lived at Nineveh.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَعَبَّدُ فِي هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِهِ نِسْرُوخَ، اغْتَالَهُ ابْنَاهُ، أَدْرَمَّلَكُ وَشَرَآصِرُ، وَفَرَّا إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَارَاطَ، فَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آسَرْحَدُّونُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ. | ٣٧ 37 |
As he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
