Isaiah 37
1 And on hearing it Hezekiah took off his robe and put on haircloth and went into the house of the Lord.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ حَزَقِيَّا ذَلِكَ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَتَغَطَّى بِمِسْحٍ وَدَخَلَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١ |
2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the chief priests, dressed in haircloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
| وَأَرْسَلَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَشَبْنَةَ ٱلْكَاتِبَ وَشُيُوخَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مُتَغَطِّينَ بِمُسُوحٍ إِلَى إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ. | ٢ |
3 And they said to him, Hezekiah says, This day is a day of trouble and punishment and shame: for the children are ready to come to birth, but there is no strength to give birth to them.
| فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ حَزَقِيَّا: هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ شِدَّةٍ وَتَأْدِيبٍ وَإِهَانَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَجِنَّةَ دَنَتْ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْلِدِ وَلَا قُوَّةَ عَلَى ٱلْوِلَادَةِ. | ٣ |
4 It may be that the Lord your God will give ear to the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so make your prayer for the rest of the people.
| لَعَلَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَ رَبْشَاقَى ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ سَيِّدُهُ لِيُعَيِّرَ ٱلْإِلَهَ ٱلْحَيَّ، فَيُوَبِّخَ عَلَى ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ. فَٱرْفَعْ صَلَاةً لِأَجْلِ ٱلْبَقِيَّةِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةِ». | ٤ |
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
| فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ ٱلْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا إِلَى إِشَعْيَاءَ. | ٥ |
6 And Isaiah said to them, This is what you are to say to your master: The Lord says, Be not troubled by the words which the servants of the king of Assyria have said against me in your hearing.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِشَعْيَاءُ: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِسَيِّدِكُمْ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَخَفْ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتَهُ، ٱلَّذِي جَدَّفَ عَلَيَّ بِهِ غِلْمَانُ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ. | ٦ |
7 See, I will put a spirit into him, and bad news will come to his ears, and he will go back to his land; and there I will have him put to death.
| هَأَنَذَا أَجْعَلُ فِيهِ رُوحًا فَيَسْمَعُ خَبَرًا وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، وَأُسْقِطُهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ فِي أَرْضِهِ». | ٧ |
8 So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah: for it had come to his ears that the king of Assyria had gone away from Lachish.
| فَرَجَعَ رَبْشَاقَى وَوَجَدَ مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ يُحَارِبُ لِبْنَةَ، لِأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَّهُ ٱرْتَحَلَ عَنْ لَخِيشَ. | ٨ |
9 And when news came to him that Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, had made an attack on him, ... And he sent representatives to Hezekiah, king of Judah, saying,
| وَسَمِعَ عَنْ تِرْهَاقَةَ مَلِكِ كُوشَ قَوْلًا: «قَدْ خَرَجَ لِيُحَارِبَكَ». فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلًا: | ٩ |
10 This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.
| «هَكَذَا تُكَلِّمُونَ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا قَائِلِينَ: لَا يَخْدَعْكَ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ مُتَوَكِّلٌ عَلَيْهِ، قَائِلًا: لَا تُدْفَعُ أُورُشَلِيمُ إِلَى يَدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ. | ١٠ |
11 No doubt the story has come to your ears of what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, putting them to the curse: and will you be kept safe from their fate?
| إِنَّكَ قَدْ سَمِعْتَ مَا فَعَلَ مُلُوكُ أَشُّورَ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي لِتَحْرِيمِهَا. وَهَلْ تَنْجُو أَنْتَ؟ | ١١ |
12 Did the gods of the nations keep safe those on whom my fathers sent destruction, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
| هَلْ أَنْقَذَ آلِهَةُ ٱلْأُمَمِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَهْلَكَهُمْ آبَائِي، جُوزَانَ وَحَارَانَ وَرَصَفَ وَبَنِي عَدَنَ، ٱلَّذِينَ فِي تَلَسَّارَ؟ | ١٢ |
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the town of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivva?
| أَيْنَ مَلِكُ حَمَاةَ وَمَلِكُ أَرْفَادَ وَمَلِكُ مَدِينَةِ سَفَرْوَايِمَ وَهَيْنَعَ وَعِوَّا؟». | ١٣ |
14 And Hezekiah took the letter from the hands of those who had come with it; and after reading it, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, opening the letter there before the Lord,
| فَأَخَذَ حَزَقِيَّا ٱلرَّسَائِلَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرُّسُلِ وَقَرَأَهَا، ثُمَّ صَعِدَ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَنَشَرَهَا حَزَقِيَّا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ١٤ |
15 And he made prayer to the Lord, saying,
| وَصَلَّى حَزَقِيَّا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١٥ |
16 O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, seated between the winged ones, you only are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.
| «يَارَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْجَالِسَ فَوْقَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ، أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْإِلَهُ وَحْدَكَ لِكُلِّ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَنْتَ صَنَعْتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. | ١٦ |
17 Let your ear be turned to us, O Lord; let your eyes be open, O Lord, and see: take note of all the words of Sennacherib who has sent men to say evil against the living God.
| أَمِلْ يَارَبُّ أُذُنَكَ وَٱسْمَعِ. ٱفْتَحْ يَارَبُّ عَيْنَيْكَ وَٱنْظُرْ، وَٱسْمَعْ كُلَّ كَلَامِ سَنْحَارِيبَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ لِيُعَيِّرَ ٱللهَ ٱلْحَيَّ. | ١٧ |
18 Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have made waste all the nations and their lands,
| حَقًّا يَارَبُّ إِنَّ مُلُوكَ أَشُّورَ قَدْ خَرَّبُوا كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأَرْضَهُمْ، | ١٨ |
19 And have given their gods to the fire: for they were no gods, but wood and stone, the work of men's hands; so they have given them to destruction.
| وَدَفَعُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا آلِهَةً بَلْ صَنْعَةُ أَيْدِي ٱلنَّاسِ، خَشَبٌ وَحَجَرٌ، فَأَبَادُوهُمْ. | ١٩ |
20 But now, O Lord our God, give us salvation from his hand, so that it may be clear to all the kingdoms of the earth that you, and you only, are the Lord.
| وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا خَلِّصْنَا مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتَعْلَمَ مَمَالِكُ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَحْدَكَ». | ٢٠ |
21 Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, The prayer you have made to me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria, has come to my ears.
| فَأَرْسَلَ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي صَلَّيْتَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ سَنْحَارِيبَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ: | ٢١ |
22 This is the word which the Lord has said about him: In the eyes of the virgin daughter of Zion you are shamed and laughed at; the daughter of Jerusalem has made sport of you.
| هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ: اِحْتَقَرَتْكَ. ٱسْتَهْزَأَتْ بِكَ ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ ٱبْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ. نَحْوَكَ أَنْغَضَتِ ٱبْنَةُ أُورُشَلِيمَ رَأْسَهَا. | ٢٢ |
23 Against whom have you said evil and bitter things? and against whom has your voice been loud and your eyes lifted up? even against the Holy One of Israel.
| مَنْ عَيَّرْتَ وَجَدَّفْتَ، وَعَلَى مَنْ عَلَّيْتَ صَوْتًا، وَقَدْ رَفَعْتَ إِلَى ٱلْعَلَاءِ عَيْنَيْكَ؟ عَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ! | ٢٣ |
24 You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; and its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods: I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.
| عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِكَ عَيَّرْتَ ٱلسَّيِّدَ، وَقُلْتَ: بِكَثْرَةِ مَرْكَبَاتِي قَدْ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى عُلُوِّ ٱلْجِبَالِ، عِقَابِ لُبْنَانَ، فَأَقْطَعُ أَرْزَهُ ٱلطَّوِيلَ وَأَفْضَلَ سَرْوِهِ، وَأَدْخُلُ أَقْصَى عُلُوِّهِ، وَعْرَ كَرْمَلِهِ. | ٢٤ |
25 I have made water-holes and taken their waters, and with my foot I have made all the rivers of Egypt dry.
| أَنَا قَدْ حَفَرْتُ وَشَرِبْتُ مِيَاهًا، وَأُنَشِّفُ بِبَطْنِ قَدَمِي جَمِيعَ خُلْجَانِ مِصْرَ. | ٢٥ |
26 Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.
| أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ؟ مُنْذُ ٱلْبَعِيدِ صَنَعْتُهُ. مُنْذُ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ صَوَّرْتُهُ. ٱلْآنَ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ. فَتَكُونُ لِتَخْرِيبِ مُدُنٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ حَتَّى تَصِيرَ رَوَابِيَ خَرِبَةً. | ٢٦ |
27 This is why their townsmen had no power, they were broken and put to shame; they were like the grass of the field, or a green plant; like the grass on the house-tops, which a cold wind makes waste.
| فَسُكَّانُهَا قِصَارُ ٱلْأَيْدِي قَدِ ٱرْتَاعُوا وَخَجِلُوا. صَارُوا كَعُشْبِ ٱلْحَقْلِ وَكَٱلنَّبَاتِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ، كَحَشِيشِ ٱلسُّطُوحِ، وَكَٱلْمَلْفُوحِ قَبْلَ نُمُوِّهِ. | ٢٧ |
28 But I have knowledge of your getting up and your resting, of your going out and your coming in.
| وَلَكِنَّنِي عَالِمٌ بِجُلُوسِكَ وَخُرُوجِكَ وَدُخُولِكَ وَهَيَجَانِكَ عَلَيَّ. | ٢٨ |
29 Because your wrath against me and your pride have come to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my cord in your lips, and I will make you go back by the way you came.
| لِأَنَّ هَيَجَانَكَ عَلَيَّ وَعَجْرَفَتَكَ قَدْ صَعِدَا إِلَى أُذُنَيَّ، أَضَعُ خِزَامَتِي فِي أَنْفِكَ وَشَكِيمَتِي فِي شَفَتَيْكَ، وَأَرُدُّكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي جِئْتَ فِيهِ. | ٢٩ |
30 And this will be the sign to you: you will get your food this year from what comes up of itself, and in the second year from the produce of the same; and in the third year you will put in your seed, and get in the grain, and make vine-gardens, and take of their fruit.
| «وَهَذِهِ لَكَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ: تَأْكُلُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلسَّنَةَ زِرِّيعًا، وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ خِلْفَةً، وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلثَّالِثَةُ فَفِيهَا تَزْرَعُونَ وَتَحْصِدُونَ، وَتَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا وَتَأْكُلُونَ أَثْمَارَهَا. | ٣٠ |
31 And those of Judah who are still living will again take root in the earth, and give fruit.
| وَيَعُودُ ٱلنَّاجُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا ٱلْبَاقُونَ يَتَأَصَّلُونَ إِلَى أَسْفَلَ، وَيَصْنَعُونَ ثَمَرًا إِلَى مَا فَوْقُ. | ٣١ |
32 For from Jerusalem those who have been kept safe will go out, and those who are still living will go out of Mount Zion: by the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.
| لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَخْرُجُ بَقِيَّةٌ، وَنَاجُونَ مِنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ. غَيْرَةُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا. | ٣٢ |
33 For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it.
| «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ: لَا يَدْخُلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، وَلَا يَرْمِي هُنَاكَ سَهْمًا، وَلَا يَتَقَدَّمُ عَلَيْهَا بِتُرْسٍ، وَلَا يُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا مِتْرَسَةً. | ٣٣ |
34 By the way he came he will go back, and he will not get into this town.
| فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ فِيهِ يَرْجِعُ، وَإِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَا يَدْخُلُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٤ |
35 For I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.
| وَأُحَامِي عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِأُخَلِّصَهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي». | ٣٥ |
36 And the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men: and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but dead bodies.
| فَخَرَجَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَضَرَبَ مِنْ جَيْشِ أَشُّورَ مِئَةً وَخَمْسَةً وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفًا. فَلَمَّا بَكَّرُوا صَبَاحًا إِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعًا جُثَثٌ مَيِّتَةٌ. | ٣٦ |
37 Sennacherib, king of Assyria, went back to his place at Nineveh.
| فَٱنْصَرَفَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَذَهَبَ رَاجِعًا وَأَقَامَ فِي نِينَوَى. | ٣٧ |
38 And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword, and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon, his son, became king in his place.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ سَاجِدٌ فِي بَيْتِ نِسْرُوخَ إِلَهِهِ ضَرَبَهُ أَدْرَمَّلَكُ وَشَرْآصَرُ ٱبْنَاهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَنَجَوَا إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَارَاطَ. وَمَلَكَ أَسَرْحَدُّونَ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٣٨ |
