Isaiah 37
1 And it came to pass when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ حَزَقِيَّا ذَلِكَ الْكَلامَ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَارْتَدَى مِسْحاً وَدَخَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، | ١ |
2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz.
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ مُدِيرَ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ وَشَبْنَةَ الْكَاتِبَ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ مُرْتَدِينَ الْمُسُوحَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، | ٢ |
3 And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of reviling; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
| وَقَالُوا لَهُ: يَقُولُ حَزَقِيَّا: «هَذَا الْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ ضِيقٍ وَإِهَانَةٍ وَكَرْبٍ، صِرْنَا فِيهِ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي الْمَخَاضَ وَهِيَ عَاجِزَةٌ عَنِ الْوِلادَةِ. | ٣ |
4 It may be Jehovah thy God will hear the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God hath heard. Therefore lift up a 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 And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
| فَعِنْدَمَا مَثُلَ رِجَالُ حَزَقِيَّا أَمَامَ إِشَعْيَاءَ، | ٥ |
6 And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith 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 into him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and 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 And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had 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 And he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come forth to make war with thee. And 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 shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Let not thy God, upon whom thou reliest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered 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, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all countries, destroying them utterly; and shalt thou 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 which my fathers have destroyed delivered them, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Thelassar?
| 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 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
| فَتَنَاوَلَ حَزَقِيَّا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ وَقَرَأَهُ، ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَبَسَطَهُ أَمَامَهُ، | ١٤ |
15 And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,
| وَصَلَّى قَائِلاً: | ١٥ |
16 Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, who sittest [between] the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made the heavens and the earth.
| «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُتَرَبِّعُ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ إِلَهُ كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ صَانِعُ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ. | ١٦ |
17 Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach 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 Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the lands, and their countries,
| 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; and they have destroyed them.
| وَطَرَحُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَأَبَادُوهَا لأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ فِعْلاً آلِهَةً بَلْ خَشَباً وَحِجَارَةً صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ | ١٩ |
20 And now, Jehovah our God, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Jehovah, thou only.
| فَخَلِّصْنَا الآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، أَنْقِذْنَا مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتُدْرِكَ مَمَالِكُ الأَرْضِ بِأَسْرِهَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ». | ٢٠ |
21 And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me concerning 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 Jehovah hath spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.
| وَهَذَا هُوَ رَدُّ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِ: هَا الْعَذْرَاءُ ابْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ قَدِ احْتَقَرَتْكَ وَاسْتَهْزَأَتْ بِكَ، وَهَزَّتِ ابْنَةُ أُورُشَلِيمَ رَأْسَهَا سُخْرِيَةً مِنْكَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted the voice? Against the Holy One of Israel hast thou lifted up thine eyes on high.
| مَنْ عَيَّرْتَ وَجَدَّفْتَ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ رَفَعْتَ صَوْتَكَ وَشَمَخْتَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ زَهْواً؟ أَعَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٢٣ |
24 By thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the recesses of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its cypresses; and I will enter into its furthest height, [into] 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 digged and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of Matsor.
| قَدْ حَفَرْتُ آبَاراً وَشَرِبْتُ مِيَاهاً، وَبِبَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ جَفَّفْتُ جَمِيعَ خُلْجَانِ مِصْرَ.‘ | ٢٥ |
26 Hast thou not heard that long ago I did it, and that from ancient days I formed it? Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest lay waste fortified cities [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 And their inhabitants were powerless, they were dismayed and put to shame; they were [as] the grass of the field and the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up.
| خَارَتْ قُوَى أَهْلِهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا مُرْتَاعِينَ خَجِلِينَ، صَارُوا كَعُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ، كَالنَّبَاتِ الأَخْضَرِ وَكَحَشِيشِ السُّطُوحِ الذَّاوِي قَبْلَ نُمُوِّهِ. | ٢٧ |
28 But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
| ولَكِنِّي مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَى حَرَكَاتِكَ وَسَكَنَاتِكَ وَهَيَجَانِكَ عَلَيَّ. | ٢٨ |
29 Because thy raging against me and thine arrogance is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will make thee go back by the way by which thou camest.
| 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 And this [shall be] the sign unto thee: there shall be eaten this year such as groweth of itself; and in the second year that which springeth of the same; but in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof.
| «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 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall 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 shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that escape: the zeal of Jehovah of hosts shall do this.
| لأَنَّ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَخْرُجُ بَقِيَّةٌ وَمِنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَأْتِي النَّاجُونَ فَغَيْرَةُ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا». | ٣٢ |
33 Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank 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 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah.
| بَلْ يَرْجِعُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْهُ وَلَنْ يَدْخُلَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٣٤ |
35 And I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
| لأَنِّي أُدَافِعُ عَنْهَا وَأُنْقِذُهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي وَإِكْرَاماً لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي». | ٣٥ |
36 And an angel of Jehovah 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 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 And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and abode at Nineveh.
| فَانْسَحَبَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ وَارْتَدَّ إِلَى بِلادِهِ وَمَكَثَ فِي نِينَوَى | ٣٧ |
38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping 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 Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَعَبَّدُ فِي هَيْكَلِ إِلهِهِ نِسْرُوخَ اغْتَالَهُ ابْنَاهُ أدْرَمَلَّكُ وَشَرَآصَرُ وَفَرَّا إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَارَاطَ، فَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آسَرْحَدُّونُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ. | ٣٨ |
