2 Kings 20

1 In those days Hezekiah was sick to death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Set thy house in order, for thou shall die, and not live.

١ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ مَرِضَ حَزَقِيَّا لِلْمَوْتِ، فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ إِشَعْيَا بْنُ آمُوصَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَوْصِ بَيْتَكَ لِأَنَّكَ تَمُوتُ وَلَا تَعِيشُ».

2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Jehovah, saying,

٢ فَوَجَّهَ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ وَصَلَّى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

3 Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept greatly.

٣ «آهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱذْكُرْ كَيْفَ سِرْتُ أَمَامَكَ بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ وَبِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ، وَفَعَلْتُ ٱلْحَسَنَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». وَبَكَى حَزَقِيَّا بُكَاءً عَظِيمًا.

4 And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of Jehovah came to him, saying,

٤ وَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِشَعْيَا إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْوُسْطَى حَتَّى كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلًا:

5 Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the prince of my people, Thus says Jehovah, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears. Behold, I will heal thee. On the third day thou shall go up to the house of Jehovah.

٥ «ٱرْجِعْ وَقُلْ لِحَزَقِيَّا رَئِيسِ شَعْبِي: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ دَاوُدَ أَبِيكَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَلَاتَكَ. قَدْ رَأَيْتُ دُمُوعَكَ. هَأَنَذَا أَشْفِيكَ. فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ تَصْعَدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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 Assyria. And I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

٦ وَأَزِيدُ عَلَى أَيَّامِكَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَأُنْقِذُكَ مِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ مَعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَأُحَامِي عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي».

7 And Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

٧ فَقَالَ إِشَعْيَا: «خُذُوا قُرْصَ تِينٍ». فَأَخَذُوهَا وَوَضَعُوهَا عَلَى ٱلدَّبْلِ فَبَرِئَ.

8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What shall be the sign that Jehovah will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah the third day?

٨ وَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا لِإِشَعْيَا: «مَا ٱلْعَلَامَةُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَشْفِينِي فَأَصْعَدَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟»

9 And Isaiah said, This shall be the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing that he has spoken: Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?

٩ فَقَالَ إِشَعْيَا: «هَذِهِ لَكَ عَلَامَةٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَفْعَلُ ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ: هَلْ يَسِيرُ ٱلظِّلُّ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ أَوْ يَرْجِعُ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ؟».

10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.

١٠ فَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا: «إِنَّهُ يَسِيرٌ عَلَى ٱلظِّلِّ أَنْ يَمْتَدَّ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ. لَا! بَلْ يَرْجِعُ ٱلظِّلُّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ!».

11 And Isaiah the prophet cried to Jehovah, and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.

١١ فَدَعَا إِشَعْيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَأَرْجَعَ ٱلظِّلَّ بِٱلدَّرَجَاتِ ٱلَّتِي نَزَلَ بِهَا بِدَرَجَاتِ آحَازَ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ.

12 At that time Berodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

١٢ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ أَرْسَلَ بَرُودَخُ بَلَادَانُ بْنُ بَلَادَانَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ رَسَائِلَ وَهَدِيَّةً إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا، لِأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَّ حَزَقِيَّا قَدْ مَرِضَ.

13 And Hezekiah hearkened to them, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.

١٣ فَسَمِعَ لَهُمْ حَزَقِيَّا وَأَرَاهُمْ كُلَّ بَيْتِ ذَخَائِرِهِ، وَٱلْفِضَّةَ وَٱلذَّهَبَ وَٱلْأَطْيَابَ وَٱلزَّيْتَ ٱلطَّيِّبَ، وَكُلَّ بَيْتِ أَسْلِحَتِهِ وَكُلَّ مَا وُجِدَ فِي خَزَائِنِهِ. لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ لَمْ يُرِهِمْ إِيَّاهُ حَزَقِيَّا فِي بَيْتِهِ وَفِي كُلِّ سَلْطَنَتِهِ.

14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say, and from where did they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country, even from Babylon.

١٤ فَجَاءَ إِشَعْيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا وَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَاذَا قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ؟ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءُوا إِلَيْكَ؟» فَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا: «جَاءُوا مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، مِنْ بَابِلَ»

15 And he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.

١٥ فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا رَأَوْا فِي بَيْتِكَ؟» فَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا: «رَأَوْا كُلَّ مَا فِي بَيْتِي. لَيْسَ فِي خَزَائِنِي شَيْءٌ لَمْ أُرِهِمْ إِيَّاهُ».

16 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah.

١٦ فَقَالَ إِشَعْيَا لِحَزَقِيَّا: «ٱسْمَعْ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ:

17 Behold, the days come that all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says Jehovah.

١٧ هُوَذَا تَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ يُحْمَلُ فِيهَا كُلُّ مَا فِي بَيْتِكَ، وَمَا ذَخَرَهُ آبَاؤُكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى بَابِلَ. لَا يُتْرَكُ شَيْءٌ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

18 And of thy sons who shall issue from thee, whom thou shall beget, they shall take away. And they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

١٨ وَيُؤْخَذُ مِنْ بَنِيكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْكَ، ٱلَّذِينَ تَلِدُهُمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ خِصْيَانًا فِي قَصْرِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ».

19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of Jehovah which thou have spoken is good. He said moreover, Is it not so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?

١٩ فَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا لِإِشَعْيَا: «جَيِّدٌ هُوَ قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتَ بِهِ». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «فَكَيْفَ لَا، إِنْ يَكُنْ سَلَامٌ وَأَمَانٌ فِي أَيَّامِي؟».

20 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

٢٠ وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ حَزَقِيَّا وَكُلُّ جَبَرُوتِهِ، وَكَيْفَ عَمِلَ ٱلْبِرْكَةَ وَٱلْقَنَاةَ وَأَدْخَلَ ٱلْمَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

٢١ ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ حَزَقِيَّا مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَمَلَكَ مَنَسَّى ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
