إشَعْياء 37
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ حَزَقِيَّا ذَلِكَ الْكَلامَ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَارْتَدَى مِسْحاً وَدَخَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، | ١ 1 |
When king Hezekiah sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into Adonai’s house.
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ مُدِيرَ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ وَشَبْنَةَ الْكَاتِبَ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ مُرْتَدِينَ الْمُسُوحَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، | 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 [Salvation of Yah] the prophet, the son of Amoz.
| وَقَالُوا لَهُ: يَقُولُ حَزَقِيَّا: «هَذَا الْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ ضِيقٍ وَإِهَانَةٍ وَكَرْبٍ، صِرْنَا فِيهِ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي الْمَخَاضَ وَهِيَ عَاجِزَةٌ عَنِ الْوِلادَةِ. | ٣ 3 |
They said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah, ‘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 الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَدْ سَمِعَ وَعِيدَ رَبْشَاقَى الَّذِي أَوْفَدَهُ سَيِّدُهُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ لِيُهِينَ الإِلَهَ الْحَيَّ، فَيُعَاقِبَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ عَلَى مَا صَدَرَ مِنْهُ مِنْ تَعْييِرٍ، فَصَلِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَقِيَّةِ النَّاجِيَةِ». | ٤ 4 |
It may be Adonai your God will sh'ma ·hear obey· the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria [Level plain] his master has sent to defy the Elohim Chayim [Living God], and will rebuke the words which Adonai your God has sh'ma ·heard obeyed·. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”
| فَعِنْدَمَا مَثُلَ رِجَالُ حَزَقِيَّا أَمَامَ إِشَعْيَاءَ، | ٥ 5 |
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah [Salvation of Yah].
| قَالَ لَهُمْ: «بَلِّغُوا سَيِّدَكُمْ، هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: لَا تَجْزَعْ مِمَّا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ تَجْدِيفِ رِجَالِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ عَلَيَّ، | ٦ 6 |
Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] said to them, “Tell your master, ‘Adonai says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, with which the servants of the king of Assyria [Level plain] have blasphemed me.
| فَهَا خَبَرٌ سَيئٌ يَرِدُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ بِلادِهِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى الْعَوْدَةِ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، حَيْثُ أَقْضِي عَلَيْهِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فِي عُقْرِ دَارِهِ». | ٧ 7 |
Behold, I will put a spirit in him and he will sh'ma ·hear obey· news, and will teshuvah ·completely return· to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’”
| وَعِنْدَمَا عَلِمَ رَبْشَاقَى أَنَّ مَلِكَ أَشُورَ قَدِ ارْتَحَلَ عَنْ لَخِيشَ وَشَرَعَ فِي مُحَارَبَةِ لِبْنَةَ انْسَحَبَ هُوَ أَيْضاً وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ هُنَاكَ. | ٨ 8 |
So Rabshakeh make teshuvah ·complete return·, and found the king of Assyria [Level plain] warring against Libnah, for he had sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that he was departed from Lachish.
| ثُمَّ بَلَغَ مَلِكَ أَشُورَ أَنَّ تِرْهَاقَةَ مَلِكَ كُوشَ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِمُحَارَبَتِهِ، فَبَعَثَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى رُسُلَهُ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلاً لَهُمْ: | ٩ 9 |
He sh'ma ·heard obeyed· news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
| «هَذَا مَا تُبَلِّغُونَهُ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: لَا يَخْدَعَنَّكَ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي تَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَمَا يَقُولُ: لَنْ تَسْقُطَ أُورُشَلِيمُ فِي قَبْضَةِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ. | ١٠ 10 |
“Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah [Praised], saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem [City of peace] won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria [Level plain].”
| فَهَا أَنْتَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ بِمَا أَلْحَقَهُ مُلُوكُ أَشُورَ بِكُلِّ الْبُلْدَانِ مِنْ تَدْمِيرٍ كَامِلٍ، فَهَلْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَنْجُوَ أَنْتَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Behold, you have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· what the kings of Assyria [Level plain] have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
| هَلْ أَنْقَذَتْ آلِهَةُ الأُمَمِ الأُخْرَى أَهْلَ جُوزَانَ وَحَارَانَ وَرَصَفَ وَأَبْنَاءَ عَدَنَ فِي تَلَسَّارَ الَّذِينَ أَفْنَاهُمْ آبَائِي؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Have the deities of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran [Mountaineer], 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?’”
| فَتَنَاوَلَ حَزَقِيَّا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ وَقَرَأَهُ، ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَبَسَطَهُ أَمَامَهُ، | ١٤ 14 |
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to Adonai’s house, and spread it before Adonai.
| وَصَلَّى قَائِلاً: | ١٥ 15 |
Hezekiah prayed to Adonai, saying,
| «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُتَرَبِّعُ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ إِلَهُ كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ صَانِعُ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ. | ١٦ 16 |
“Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], the God of Israel [God prevails], 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.
| أَرْهِفْ يَا رَبُّ أُذُنَيْكَ وَأَصْغِ. افْتَحْ يَا رَبُّ عَيْنَيْكَ وَانْظُرْ، وَاسْمَعْ كُلَّ تَهْدِيدَاتِ سَنْحَارِيبَ الَّتِي بَعَثَ بِها لِيُعَيِّرَ اللهَ الْحَيَّ. | ١٧ 17 |
Turn your ear, Adonai, and sh'ma ·hear obey·. Open your eyes, Adonai, and behold. Sh'ma ·Hear obey· all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the Elohim Chayim [Living God].
| حَقّاً يَا رَبُّ، إِنَّ مُلُوكَ أَشُّورَ قَدْ أَبَادُوا الأُمَمَ وَدَمَّرُوا دِيَارَهُمْ | ١٨ 18 |
Truly, Adonai, the kings of Assyria [Level plain] have destroyed all the countries and their land,
| وَطَرَحُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَأَبَادُوهَا لأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ فِعْلاً آلِهَةً بَلْ خَشَباً وَحِجَارَةً صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ | ١٩ 19 |
and have cast their deities into the fire; for they were no elohim ·deities, judges·, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
| فَخَلِّصْنَا الآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، أَنْقِذْنَا مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتُدْرِكَ مَمَالِكُ الأَرْضِ بِأَسْرِهَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ». | ٢٠ 20 |
Now therefore, Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God], save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Adonai, even you only.”
| عِنْدَئِذٍ بَعَثَ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ رِسَالَةً إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلاً: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي تَضَرَّعْتَ إِلَيْهِ لِيُنْقِذَكَ مِنْ سَنْحَارِيبَ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ | ٢١ 21 |
Then Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Yahweh, Elohim Isra'el [He sustains breathing, God of God prevails] says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria [Level plain],
| وَهَذَا هُوَ رَدُّ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِ: هَا الْعَذْرَاءُ ابْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ قَدِ احْتَقَرَتْكَ وَاسْتَهْزَأَتْ بِكَ، وَهَزَّتِ ابْنَةُ أُورُشَلِيمَ رَأْسَهَا سُخْرِيَةً مِنْكَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
this is the word which Adonai has spoken concerning him. The virgin daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem [City of peace] has shaken her head at you.
| مَنْ عَيَّرْتَ وَجَدَّفْتَ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ رَفَعْتَ صَوْتَكَ وَشَمَخْتَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ زَهْواً؟ أَعَلَى 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 haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails].
| 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. | ٢٤ 24 |
By your servants, have you defied 'Adonay [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.
| قَدْ حَفَرْتُ آبَاراً وَشَرِبْتُ مِيَاهاً، وَبِبَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ جَفَّفْتُ 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 [Abode of slavery].”
| أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ؟ مُنْذُ زَمَنٍ طَوِيلٍ قَدْ قَدَّرْتُ ذَلِكَ. مُنْذُ الأَيَّامِ الْقَدِيمَةِ قَرَّرْتُهُ وَهَا أَنَا الآنَ أُحَقِّقُهُ، إِذْ أَقَمْتُكَ لِتَدْمِيرِ مُدُنٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ فَتُحَوِّلُهَا إِلَى رَوَابِي خَرِبَةٍ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Have you not sh'ma ·heard obeyed· 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.
| خَارَتْ قُوَى أَهْلِهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا مُرْتَاعِينَ خَجِلِينَ، صَارُوا كَعُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ، كَالنَّبَاتِ الأَخْضَرِ وَكَحَشِيشِ السُّطُوحِ الذَّاوِي 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.
| ولَكِنِّي مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَى حَرَكَاتِكَ وَسَكَنَاتِكَ وَهَيَجَانِكَ عَلَيَّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
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 سَأَضَعُ خِزَامَتِي فِي أَنْفِكَ، وَأَضَعُ لِجَامِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَأُعِيدُكَ فِي نَفْسِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أَقْبَلْتَ مِنْهُ». | ٢٩ 29 |
Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore will I 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 يَنْبُتُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، وَفِي السَّنَةِ التَّالِيَةِ تَأْكُلُونَ مِمَّا يَنْبُتُ عَنْهُ وَأَمَّا فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَتَزْرَعُونَ فِيهَا وَتَحْصُدُونَ وَتَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً وَتَجْنُونَ ثِمَارَهَا. | 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 the same; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
| وَيعُودُ النَّاجُونَ البَاقُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا فَتَتَأَصَّلُ جُذُورُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَيَزْدَهِرُونَ وَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ. | ٣١ 31 |
The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah [Praised] will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
| لأَنَّ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَخْرُجُ بَقِيَّةٌ وَمِنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَأْتِي النَّاجُونَ فَغَيْرَةُ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا». | ٣٢ 32 |
For out of Jerusalem [City of peace] a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. The zeal of Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] will perform this.’
| لِذَلِكَ، فَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ: «لَنْ يَدْخُلَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ وَلَنْ يُطْلِقَ عَلَيْهَا سَهْماً أَوْ يَتَقَدَّمَ نَحْوَهَا بِتُرْسٍ وَلا يُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا مِقْلاعاً. | ٣٣ 33 |
Therefore Adonai says concerning the king of Assyria [Level plain], ‘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.
| بَلْ يَرْجِعُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْهُ وَلَنْ يَدْخُلَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٣٤ 34 |
By the way that he came, by the same he shall teshuvah ·completely return·, and he shall not come to this city,’ says Adonai.
| لأَنِّي أُدَافِعُ عَنْهَا وَأُنْقِذُهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي وَإِكْرَاماً لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي». | ٣٥ 35 |
‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David [Beloved]’s sake.’”
| وَحَدَثَ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَنَّ مَلاكَ الرَّبِّ قَتَلَ مِئَةً وَخَمْسَةً وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفاً مِنْ جَيْشِ الأَشُورِيِّينَ، وَمَا إِنْ طَلَعَ الصَّبَاحُ حَتَّى كَانَتْ جُثَثُ الْقَتْلَى تَمْلَأُ الْمَكَانَ | ٣٦ 36 |
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] 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.
| فَانْسَحَبَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ وَارْتَدَّ إِلَى بِلادِهِ وَمَكَثَ فِي نِينَوَى | ٣٧ 37 |
So Sennacherib king of Assyria [Level plain] departed, went away, teshuvah ·completely returned· to Nineveh [Offspring’s Habitation], and stayed there.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَعَبَّدُ فِي هَيْكَلِ إِلهِهِ نِسْرُوخَ اغْتَالَهُ ابْنَاهُ أدْرَمَلَّكُ وَشَرَآصَرُ وَفَرَّا إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَارَاطَ، فَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آسَرْحَدُّونُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his deity, 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.
