< إشَعْياء 37 >

وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ حَزَقِيَّا ذَلِكَ الْكَلامَ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَارْتَدَى مِسْحاً وَدَخَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، ١ 1
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ مُدِيرَ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ وَشَبْنَةَ الْكَاتِبَ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ مُرْتَدِينَ الْمُسُوحَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، ٢ 2
And he sent Eliakim, who [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah 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
And they said to him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day [is] a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.
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 the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up [thy] prayer for the remnant that is left.
فَعِنْدَمَا مَثُلَ رِجَالُ حَزَقِيَّا أَمَامَ إِشَعْيَاءَ، ٥ 5
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
قَالَ لَهُمْ: «بَلِّغُوا سَيِّدَكُمْ، هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: لَا تَجْزَعْ مِمَّا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ تَجْدِيفِ رِجَالِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ عَلَيَّ، ٦ 6
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria 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 send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumor, and return to his own land; and 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 returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
ثُمَّ بَلَغَ مَلِكَ أَشُورَ أَنَّ تِرْهَاقَةَ مَلِكَ كُوشَ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِمُحَارَبَتِهِ، فَبَعَثَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى رُسُلَهُ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلاً لَهُمْ: ٩ 9
And he heard it said concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [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 shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall 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, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
هَلْ أَنْقَذَتْ آلِهَةُ الأُمَمِ الأُخْرَى أَهْلَ جُوزَانَ وَحَارَانَ وَرَصَفَ وَأَبْنَاءَ عَدَنَ فِي تَلَسَّارَ الَّذِينَ أَفْنَاهُمْ آبَائِي؟ ١٢ 12
Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, [as] Gozan, and Haran, and 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, Hena, and Ivah?
فَتَنَاوَلَ حَزَقِيَّا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ وَقَرَأَهُ، ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَبَسَطَهُ أَمَامَهُ، ١٤ 14
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
وَصَلَّى قَائِلاً: ١٥ 15
And Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
«أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُتَرَبِّعُ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ إِلَهُ كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ صَانِعُ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ. ١٦ 16
O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest [between] the cherubim, thou [art] the God, [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast 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
Incline thy ear, O LORD, and hear; open thy eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach the living God.
حَقّاً يَا رَبُّ، إِنَّ مُلُوكَ أَشُّورَ قَدْ أَبَادُوا الأُمَمَ وَدَمَّرُوا دِيَارَهُمْ ١٨ 18
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
وَطَرَحُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَأَبَادُوهَا لأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ فِعْلاً آلِهَةً بَلْ خَشَباً وَحِجَارَةً صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ ١٩ 19
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، أَنْقِذْنَا مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتُدْرِكَ مَمَالِكُ الأَرْضِ بِأَسْرِهَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ». ٢٠ 20
Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou [art] the LORD, [even] thou 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 the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
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 the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, [and] derided thee; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
مَنْ عَيَّرْتَ وَجَدَّفْتَ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ رَفَعْتَ صَوْتَكَ وَشَمَخْتَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ زَهْواً؟ أَعَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ ٢٣ 23
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed; and against whom hast thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted thy eyes on high? [even] 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. ٢٤ 24
By thy servants hast thou reproached the LORD, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots have I come up to the hight of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, [and] its choice fir-trees: and I will enter into the hight of its border, [and] the forest of its Carmel.
قَدْ حَفَرْتُ آبَاراً وَشَرِبْتُ مِيَاهاً، وَبِبَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ جَفَّفْتُ جَمِيعَ خُلْجَانِ مِصْرَ.‘ ٢٥ 25
I have digged, and drank water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
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
Hast thou not heard long ago, [how] I have done it; [and] of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldst be to lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.
خَارَتْ قُوَى أَهْلِهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا مُرْتَاعِينَ خَجِلِينَ، صَارُوا كَعُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ، كَالنَّبَاتِ الأَخْضَرِ وَكَحَشِيشِ السُّطُوحِ الذَّاوِي قَبْلَ نُمُوِّهِ. ٢٧ 27
Therefore their inhabitants [were] of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were [as] the grass of the field, and [as] the green herb, [as] the grass on the house-tops, and [as corn] blasted before it is grown up.
ولَكِنِّي مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَى حَرَكَاتِكَ وَسَكَنَاتِكَ وَهَيَجَانِكَ عَلَيَّ. ٢٨ 28
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage 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 thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
«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
And this [shall be] a sign to thee, Ye shall eat [this] year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
وَيعُودُ النَّاجُونَ البَاقُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا فَتَتَأَصَّلُ جُذُورُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَيَزْدَهِرُونَ وَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ. ٣١ 31
And the remnant that hath escaped of the house of Judah shall 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 shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape from mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts will do 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 thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast 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 shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
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'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
Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.
فَانْسَحَبَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ وَارْتَدَّ إِلَى بِلادِهِ وَمَكَثَ فِي نِينَوَى ٣٧ 37
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَعَبَّدُ فِي هَيْكَلِ إِلهِهِ نِسْرُوخَ اغْتَالَهُ ابْنَاهُ أدْرَمَلَّكُ وَشَرَآصَرُ وَفَرَّا إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَارَاطَ، فَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آسَرْحَدُّونُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ. ٣٨ 38
And it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
