Isaiah 37
1 When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD’s house.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ حَزَقِيَّا ذَلِكَ الْكَلامَ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَارْتَدَى مِسْحاً وَدَخَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، | ١ |
2 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.
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ مُدِيرَ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ وَشَبْنَةَ الْكَاتِبَ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ مُرْتَدِينَ الْمُسُوحَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، | ٢ |
3 They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘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.
| وَقَالُوا لَهُ: يَقُولُ حَزَقِيَّا: «هَذَا الْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ ضِيقٍ وَإِهَانَةٍ وَكَرْبٍ، صِرْنَا فِيهِ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي الْمَخَاضَ وَهِيَ عَاجِزَةٌ عَنِ الْوِلادَةِ. | ٣ |
4 It may be the LORD your God will hear 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.’”
| 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 |
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
| فَعِنْدَمَا مَثُلَ رِجَالُ حَزَقِيَّا أَمَامَ إِشَعْيَاءَ، | ٥ |
6 Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD says, “Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
| قَالَ لَهُمْ: «بَلِّغُوا سَيِّدَكُمْ، هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: لَا تَجْزَعْ مِمَّا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ تَجْدِيفِ رِجَالِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ عَلَيَّ، | ٦ |
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.”’”
| فَهَا خَبَرٌ سَيئٌ يَرِدُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ بِلادِهِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى الْعَوْدَةِ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، حَيْثُ أَقْضِي عَلَيْهِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فِي عُقْرِ دَارِهِ». | ٧ |
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.
| وَعِنْدَمَا عَلِمَ رَبْشَاقَى أَنَّ مَلِكَ أَشُورَ قَدِ ارْتَحَلَ عَنْ لَخِيشَ وَشَرَعَ فِي مُحَارَبَةِ لِبْنَةَ انْسَحَبَ هُوَ أَيْضاً وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ هُنَاكَ. | ٨ |
9 He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
| ثُمَّ بَلَغَ مَلِكَ أَشُورَ أَنَّ تِرْهَاقَةَ مَلِكَ كُوشَ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِمُحَارَبَتِهِ، فَبَعَثَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى رُسُلَهُ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلاً لَهُمْ: | ٩ |
10 “Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
| «هَذَا مَا تُبَلِّغُونَهُ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: لَا يَخْدَعَنَّكَ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي تَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَمَا يَقُولُ: لَنْ تَسْقُطَ أُورُشَلِيمُ فِي قَبْضَةِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ. | ١٠ |
11 Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
| فَهَا أَنْتَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ بِمَا أَلْحَقَهُ مُلُوكُ أَشُورَ بِكُلِّ الْبُلْدَانِ مِنْ تَدْمِيرٍ كَامِلٍ، فَهَلْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَنْجُوَ أَنْتَ؟ | ١١ |
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?
| هَلْ أَنْقَذَتْ آلِهَةُ الأُمَمِ الأُخْرَى أَهْلَ جُوزَانَ وَحَارَانَ وَرَصَفَ وَأَبْنَاءَ عَدَنَ فِي تَلَسَّارَ الَّذِينَ أَفْنَاهُمْ آبَائِي؟ | ١٢ |
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
| أَيْنَ مَلِكُ حَمَاةَ، وَمَلِكُ أَرْفَادَ، وَمَلِكُ مَدِينَةِ سَفَرْوَايِمَ، وَهَيْنَعَ وَعِوَّا؟» | ١٣ |
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.
| فَتَنَاوَلَ حَزَقِيَّا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ وَقَرَأَهُ، ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَبَسَطَهُ أَمَامَهُ، | ١٤ |
15 Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
| وَصَلَّى قَائِلاً: | ١٥ |
16 “LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, 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.
| «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُتَرَبِّعُ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ إِلَهُ كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ صَانِعُ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ. | ١٦ |
17 Turn your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and behold. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
| أَرْهِفْ يَا رَبُّ أُذُنَيْكَ وَأَصْغِ. افْتَحْ يَا رَبُّ عَيْنَيْكَ وَانْظُرْ، وَاسْمَعْ كُلَّ تَهْدِيدَاتِ سَنْحَارِيبَ الَّتِي بَعَثَ بِها لِيُعَيِّرَ اللهَ الْحَيَّ. | ١٧ |
18 Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
| حَقّاً يَا رَبُّ، إِنَّ مُلُوكَ أَشُّورَ قَدْ أَبَادُوا الأُمَمَ وَدَمَّرُوا دِيَارَهُمْ | ١٨ |
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.
| وَطَرَحُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَأَبَادُوهَا لأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ فِعْلاً آلِهَةً بَلْ خَشَباً وَحِجَارَةً صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ | ١٩ |
20 Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD, even you only.”
| فَخَلِّصْنَا الآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، أَنْقِذْنَا مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتُدْرِكَ مَمَالِكُ الأَرْضِ بِأَسْرِهَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ». | ٢٠ |
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “The LORD, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
| عِنْدَئِذٍ بَعَثَ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ رِسَالَةً إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلاً: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي تَضَرَّعْتَ إِلَيْهِ لِيُنْقِذَكَ مِنْ سَنْحَارِيبَ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ | ٢١ |
22 this is the word which 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.
| وَهَذَا هُوَ رَدُّ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِ: هَا الْعَذْرَاءُ ابْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ قَدِ احْتَقَرَتْكَ وَاسْتَهْزَأَتْ بِكَ، وَهَزَّتِ ابْنَةُ أُورُشَلِيمَ رَأْسَهَا سُخْرِيَةً مِنْكَ. | ٢٢ |
23 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.
| مَنْ عَيَّرْتَ وَجَدَّفْتَ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ رَفَعْتَ صَوْتَكَ وَشَمَخْتَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ زَهْواً؟ أَعَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٢٣ |
24 By your servants, 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. 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.
| 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 |
25 I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
| قَدْ حَفَرْتُ آبَاراً وَشَرِبْتُ مِيَاهاً، وَبِبَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ جَفَّفْتُ جَمِيعَ خُلْجَانِ مِصْرَ.‘ | ٢٥ |
26 “‘Have you not heard 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.
| 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 |
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.
| خَارَتْ قُوَى أَهْلِهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا مُرْتَاعِينَ خَجِلِينَ، صَارُوا كَعُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ، كَالنَّبَاتِ الأَخْضَرِ وَكَحَشِيشِ السُّطُوحِ الذَّاوِي قَبْلَ نُمُوِّهِ. | ٢٧ |
28 But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
| ولَكِنِّي مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَى حَرَكَاتِكَ وَسَكَنَاتِكَ وَهَيَجَانِكَ عَلَيَّ. | ٢٨ |
29 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.
| وَلأَنَّ ثَوْرَتَكَ عَلَيَّ وَعَجْرَفَتَكَ قَدْ بَلَغَتَا مَسَامِعِي، فَإِنِّي سَأَضَعُ خِزَامَتِي فِي أَنْفِكَ، وَأَضَعُ لِجَامِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَأُعِيدُكَ فِي نَفْسِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أَقْبَلْتَ مِنْهُ». | ٢٩ |
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 it; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
| «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 |
31 The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
| وَيعُودُ النَّاجُونَ البَاقُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا فَتَتَأَصَّلُ جُذُورُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَيَزْدَهِرُونَ وَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ. | ٣١ |
32 For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.’
| لأَنَّ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَخْرُجُ بَقِيَّةٌ وَمِنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَأْتِي النَّاجُونَ فَغَيْرَةُ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا». | ٣٢ |
33 “Therefore the LORD says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘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.
| 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 |
34 He will return the way that he came, and he will not come to this city,’ says the LORD.
| بَلْ يَرْجِعُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْهُ وَلَنْ يَدْخُلَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٣٤ |
35 ‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”
| لأَنِّي أُدَافِعُ عَنْهَا وَأُنْقِذُهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي وَإِكْرَاماً لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي». | ٣٥ |
36 Then the LORD’s angel 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.
| 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 |
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
| فَانْسَحَبَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ وَارْتَدَّ إِلَى بِلادِهِ وَمَكَثَ فِي نِينَوَى | ٣٧ |
38 As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, 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.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَعَبَّدُ فِي هَيْكَلِ إِلهِهِ نِسْرُوخَ اغْتَالَهُ ابْنَاهُ أدْرَمَلَّكُ وَشَرَآصَرُ وَفَرَّا إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَارَاطَ، فَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آسَرْحَدُّونُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ. | ٣٨ |
