وَمَرِضَ حَزَقِيَّا فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ حَتَّى أَشْرَفَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ:’نَظِّمْ شُؤُونَ بَيْتِكَ لأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَبْرَأَ بَلْ حَتْماً تَمُوتَ‘». ١ 1
In those days was Ezekias sick [even] to death. And the prophet Esaias the son of Amos came in to him, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Give charge to thy household; [for] thou shalt die, and not live.
فَأَشَاحَ بِوَجْهِهِ نَحْوَ الْحَائِطِ وَصَلَّى قَائِلاً: ٢ 2
And Ezekias turned to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
«آهِ يَا رَبُّ، اذْكُرْ كَيْفَ سَلَكْتُ أَمَامَكَ بِأَمَانَةٍ وَإِخْلاصِ قَلْبٍ، وَصَنَعْتُ مَا يُرْضِيكَ». وَبَكَى حَزَقِيَّا بُكَاءً مُرّاً. ٣ 3
Lord, remember, I pray thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thine eyes. And Ezekias wept with a great weeping.
وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ إِشَعْيَاءُ فِنَاءَ الْقَصْرِ الأَوْسَطِ خَاطَبَهُ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً: ٤ 4
And Esaias was in the middle court, and the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
«ارْجِعْ وَقُلْ لِحَزَقِيَّا رَئِيسِ شَعْبِي: هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ دَاوُدَ أَبِيكَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَلاتَكَ، وَرَأَيْتُ دُمُوعَكَ، وَهَا أَنَا أُبْرِئُكَ، فَتَذْهَبُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ لِلصَّلاةِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. ٥ 5
Turn back, and thou shalt say to Ezekias the ruler of my people, Thus saith the Lord God of thy father David, 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 the Lord.
وَأُضِيفُ عَلَى سِنِي حَيَاتِكَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ عَاماً وَأُنْقِذُكَ أَنْتَ وَهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ مِنْ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ، وَأُدَافِعُ عَنْهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي وَإِكْرَاماً لِعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ». ٦ 6
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 the Assyrians, and I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant's David sake.
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِشَعْيَاءُ: «خُذُوا قُرْصَ تِينٍ». فَأَخَذُوا قُرْصَ تِينٍ وَضَعُوهُ عَلَى الْقُرْحِ فَبَرِىءَ. ٧ 7
And he said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it upon the ulcer, and he shall be well.
وَسَأَلَ حَزَقِيَّا إِشَعْيَاءَ: «مَا الْعَلامَةُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَشْفِينِي، فَأَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ الذَّهَابِ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ؟» ٨ 8
And Ezekias said to Esaias, What [is] the sign that the Lord will heal me, and I shall go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?
فَأَجَابَهُ إِشَعْيَاءُ: «إِلَيْكَ الْعَلامَةَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ بِأَنَّهُ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يُتَمِّمَ مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ. أَجِبْنِي، هَلْ يَتَقَدَّمُ الظِّلُّ عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ أَمْ يَرْتَدُّ عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ؟» ٩ 9
And Esaias said, This [is] the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will perform the word which he has spoken, the shadow [of the dial] shall advance ten degrees: [or] if it should go back ten degrees [this would also be the sign].
فَأَجَابَ حَزَقِيَّا: «مِنْ شَأْنِ الظِّلِّ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ، لِذَلِكَ لِيَرْتَدَّ الظِّلُّ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ، فَتَكُونَ هَذِهِ هِيَ الْعَلامَةُ». ١٠ 10
And Ezekias said, [It is] a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return ten degrees backward on the dial.
فَابْتَهَلَ إِشَعْيَاءُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، فَتَراجَعَ الظِّلُّ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ فَوْقَ سُلَّمِ آحَازَ، بَعْدَ أَنْ كَانَ الظِّلُّ قَدِ امْتَدَّ عَلَيْهَا إِلَى الأَمَامِ عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ. ١١ 11
And Esaias the prophet cried to the Lord: and the shadow returned back ten degrees on the dial.
وَعِنْدَمَا عَلِمَ بَرُودَخُ بَلادَانُ ابْنُ الْمَلِكِ الْبَابِلِيِّ بَلادَانَ بِمَرَضِ حَزَقِيَّا، بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ (وَفْداً) وَرَسَائِلَ وَهَدَايَا. ١٢ 12
At that time Marodach Baladan, son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Ezekias, because he had heard that Ezekias was sick.
فَاحْتَفَى بِهِمْ حَزَقِيَّا، وَأَطْلَعَهُمْ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا فِي خَزَائِنِ نَفَائِسِهِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَأَطْيَابٍ وَعُطُورٍ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَخَازِنِ أَسْلِحَتِهِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَا يَحْتَفِظُ بِهِ فِي خَزَائِنِهِ. لَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَيْئاً فِي قَصْرِهِ وَفِي كُلِّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ لَمْ يُطْلِعْهُمْ عَلَيْهِ. ١٣ 13
And Ezekias rejoiced at them, and shewed all the house of his spices, the silver and the gold, the spices, and the fine oil, and the armory, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing which Ezekias did not shew them in his house, and in all his dominion.
فَوَفَدَ إِشَعْيَاءُ النَّبِيُّ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا وَسَأَلَهُ: «مَاذَا قَالَ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالُ، وَمِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءُوا؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «جَاءُوا مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، مِنْ بَابِلَ». ١٤ 14
And Esaias the prophet went in to king Ezekias, and said to him, What said these men? and whence came they to thee? And Ezekias said, they came to me from a distant land, [even] from Babylon.
فَعَادَ يَسْأَلُهُ: «مَاذَا شَاهَدُوا فِي قَصْرِكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ حَزَقِيَّا: «شَاهَدُوا كُلَّ مَا فِي قَصْرِي. لَمْ أَتْرُكْ شَيْئاً فِي مَخَازِنِي لَمْ أُطْلِعْهُمْ عَلَيْهِ». ١٥ 15
And he said, What saw they in thy house? And he said, They saw all things that [are] in my house: there was nothing in my house which I shewed not to them; yea, all that was in my treasures also.
فَقَالَ إِشَعْيَاءُ لِحَزَقِيَّا: «اسْمَعْ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ. ١٦ 16
And Esaias said to Ezekias, Hear the word of the Lord:
هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي يُنْقَلُ فِيهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ كُلُّ مَا فِي قَصْرِكَ، وَمَا ادَّخَرَهُ أَسْلافُكَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَلا يَبْقَى مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. ١٧ 17
Behold, the days come, that all things that are in thy house shall be taken, and all that thy fathers have treasured up until this day, to Babylon; and there shall not fail a word, which the Lord has spoken.
وَيُسْبَى بَعْضُ أَبْنَائِكَ الْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ لِيَكُونُوا خِصْيَاناً فِي قَصْرِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ». ١٨ 18
And as for thy sons which shall come forth of thee, which thou shalt beget, [the enemy] shall take them, and they shall be eunuchs in the house of the king of Babylon.
فَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا لإِشَعْيَاءَ: «صَالِحٌ قَوْلُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي أَعْلَنْتَهُ». ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ: «لِمَ لا؟ إِنْ كَانَ السَّلامُ وَالأَمَانُ يَسُودَانِ فِي أَيَّامِي». ١٩ 19
And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good [is] the word of the Lord which he has spoken: [only] let there be peace in my days.
أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ حَزَقِيَّا وَكُلُّ أَعْمَالِهِ وَمُنْجَزَاتِهِ، وَكَيْفَ صَنَعَ الْبِرْكَةَ وَالْقَنَاةَ، وَأَدْخَلَ الْمَاءَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، أَلَيْسَتْ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ ٢٠ 20
And the rest of the acts of Ezekias, and all his might, and all that he made, the fountain and the aqueduct, and [how] he brought water into the city, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
ثُمَّ مَاتَ حَزَقِيَّا، وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ مَنَسَّى عَلَى الْمُلْكِ. ٢١ 21
And Ezekias slept with his fathers: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
