< 2 Kings 19 >

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.
وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ حَزَقِيَّا ذَلِكَ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَارْتَدَى مُسُوحاً وَلَجَأَ 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, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ أَلْيَاقِيمَ مُدِيرَ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ وَشِبْنَةَ الْكَاتِبَ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَهُمْ مُرْتَدُونَ الْمُسُوحَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ،٢
3 And they said unto him: 'Thus saith Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ حَزَقِيَّا: هَذَا الْيَوْمُ هُوَ يَوْمُ ضِيقٍ وَإِهَانَةٍ وَكَرْبٍ، فَإِنَّنَا كَالأَجِنَّةِ الْمُشْرِفَةِ عَلَى الْوِلادَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَتَوَافَرَ لَهَا الْقُوَّةُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ.٣
4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to taunt the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD thy God hath heard; wherefore make prayer for the remnant that is left.'
فَلَعَلَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يَسْمَعُ وَعِيدَ الْقَائِدِ الأَشُّورِيِّ الَّذِي أَوْفَدَهُ سَيِّدُهُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ، لِيُهِينَ الإِلَهَ الْحَيَّ فَيُعَاقِبَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ عَلَى مَا صَدَرَ مِنْهُ مِنْ تَعْيِيرٍ، فَصَلِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبَقِيَّةِ النَّاجِيَةِ مِنَّا».٤
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
فَجَاءَ رِجَالُ الْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا لإِشَعْيَاءَ،٥
6 And Isaiah said unto them: 'Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith the LORD: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِشَعْيَاءُ: «بَلِّغوا 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 shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.'
فَهَا خَبَرٌ سَيِّئٌ يَرِدُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ بِلادِهِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى الْعَوْدَةِ إِلَيْهَا حَيْثُ أَقْضِي عَلَيْهِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فِي عُقْرِ دَارِهِ».٧
8 So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
وَعِنْدَمَا عَلِمَ قَائِدُ الْجَيْشِ الأَشُورِيُّ بِأَنَّ مَلِكَ أَشُورَ قَدِ ارْتَحَلَ عَنْ لَخِيشَ وَشَرَعَ فِي مُحَارَبَةِ لِبْنَةَ، انْسَحَبَ هُوَ أَيْضاً وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ هُنَاكَ.٨
9 And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia: 'Behold, he is come out to fight against thee'; he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying:
وَبَلَغَ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ أَنَّ تُرْهَاقَةَ مَلِكَ كُوشٍ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِمُحَارَبَتِهِ، فَبَعَثَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى رُسُلاً إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلاً:٩
10 'Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Let not thy God in whom thou trustest beguile thee, saying: Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
«هَذَا مَا تُبَلِّغُونَهُ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: لَا يَخْدَعْكَ 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 lands, by 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 delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Telassar?
هَلْ أَنْقَذَتْ آلِهَةُ الأُمَمِ الأُخْرَى أَهْلَ جُوزَانَ وَحَارَانَ وَرَصْفَ وَبَنِي عَدَنَ الَّذِينَ فِي تَلَسَّارَ الَّذينَ 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 سَفْرَوَايِمَ وَهَيْنَعَ وَعَوَّا؟»١٣
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
فَتَنَاوَلَ حَزَقِيَّا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ وَقَرَأَهُ، ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَبَسَطَهُ أَمَامَهُ.١٤
15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said: 'O LORD, the God of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, Thou art the God, even Thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; Thou hast made heaven and earth.
وَصَلَّى قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، الْمُتَرَبِّعُ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمَ، أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ إِلَهُ كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ. أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ خَلَقْتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ.١٥
16 Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open Thine eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to taunt the living God.
أَرْهِفْ يَا رَبُّ أُذُنَيْكَ وَاسْتَمِعْ. افْتَحْ يَا رَبُّ عَيْنَيْكَ وَانْظُرْ، وَاسْمَعْ كُلَّ تَهْدِيدَاتِ سَنْحَارِيبَ الَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا لِيُعَيِّرَ اللهَ الْحَيَّ.١٦
17 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
حَقّاً يَا رَبُّ إِنَّ مُلُوكَ أَشُّورَ قَدْ أَهْلَكُوا الأُمَمَ وَدَمَّرُوا دِيَارَهُمْ،١٧
18 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 لَيْسَتْ فِعْلاً آلِهَةً بَلْ خَشَباً وَحِجَارَةً مِنْ صَنْعَةِ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ،١٨
19 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save Thou us, I beseech Thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the LORD God, even Thou only.'
فَخَلِّصْنَا الآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتُدْرِكَ مَمَالِكُ الأَرْضِ بِأَسْرِهَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ».١٩
20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Whereas thou hast prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard thee.
فَبَعَثَ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلاً: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي تَضَرَّعْتَ إِلَيْهِ لِيُنْقِذَكَ مِنْ سَنْحَارِيبَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ».٢٠
21 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
وَهَذَا هُوَ رَدُّ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِ: «هَا الْعَذْرَاءُ ابْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ قَدِ احْتَقَرَتْكَ وَاسْتَهْزَأَتْ بِكَ، وَهَزَّتِ ابْنَةُ أُورُشَلِيمَ رَأْسَهَا سُخْرِيَةً مِنْكَ.٢١
22 Whom hast thou taunted and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice? Yea, thou hast lifted up thine eyes on high, even against the Holy One of Israel!
مَنْ عَيَّرْتَ وَجَدَّفْتَ عَلَيْهِ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ رَفَعْتَ صَوْتاً وَشَمَخْتَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ زَهْواً؟ أَعَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟٢٢
23 By the messengers thou hast taunted the Lord, and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I have cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice cypresses thereof; and I have entered into his farthest lodge, the forest of his 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.٢٣
24 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of Egypt.
قَدْ حَفَرْتُ آبَاراً فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ وَشَرِبْتُ مِيَاهاً، وَبِبَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ جَفَّفْتُ جَمِيعَ خُلْجَانِ مِصْرَ.٢٤
25 Hast thou not heard? long ago I made it, in ancient times I fashioned it; now have I brought it to pass, yea, it is done; that fortified cities should be laid waste into ruinous heaps.
أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ؟ مُنْذُ زَمَنٍ طَوِيلٍ قَدَّرْتُ ذَلِكَ. مُنْذُ الأَيَّامِ الْقَدِيمَةِ قَرَّرْتُهُ وَهَا أَنَا الآنَ أُحَقِّقُهُ، إِذْ أَقَمْتُكَ لِتَدْمِيرِ مُدُنٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ فَتُحَوِّلُهَا إِلَى رَوَابِي خَرِبَةٍ.٢٥
26 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 housetops, and as corn blasted before it is grown up.
وَقَدْ خَارَتْ قُوَى أَهْلِهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا مُرْتَاعِينَ خَجِلِينَ، صَارُوا كَعُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ، كَالنَّبَاتِ اللَّيِّنِ وَكَحَشِيشِ السُّطُوحِ الذَّاوِي قَبْلَ نُمُوِّهِ.٢٦
27 But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against Me.
وَلَكِنِّي مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَى حَرَكَاتِكَ وَسَكَنَاتِكَ وَهَيَجَانِكَ عَلَيَّ.٢٧
28 Because of thy raging against Me, and for that thy tumult is come up into Mine ears, therefore will I 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.
وَلأَنَّ ثَوْرَتَكَ عَلَيَّ وَعَجْرَفَتَكَ قَدْ بَلَغَتَا مَسَامِعِي، فَإِنِّي سَأَشْكُمُكَ بِخِزَامَتِي فِي أَنْفِكَ، وَأَضَعُ لِجَامِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَأُعِيدُكَ فِي نَفْسِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أَقْبَلْتَ مِنْهُ.٢٨
29 And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in 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 thereof.
وَهَذِهِ عَلامَةٌ لَكَ يَا حَزَقِيَّا: فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ تَأْكُلُونَ مِمَّا نَبَتَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ تَأْكُلُونَ مِمَّا يَنْبُتُ عَنْهُ، وَأَمَّا فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَتَزْرَعُونَ فِيهَا وَتَحْصُدُونَ وَتَغْرِسُونَ كُروُماً وَتَجْنُونَ أَثْمَارَهَا.٢٩
30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
وَيَعُودُ النَّاجُونَ الْبَاقُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا، فَتَتَأَصَّلُ جُذُورُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَيَحْمِلُونَ أَثْمَاراً عَلَى أَغْصَانِهِمْ،٣٠
31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape; the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall perform this.
لأَنَّ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَخْرُجُ الْبَقِيَّةُ، وَمِنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَأْتِي النَّاجُونَ، فَغَيْرَةُ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا.٣١
32 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mound against it.
لِذَلِكَ فَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ: لَنْ يَدْخُلَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ وَلَنْ يُطْلِقَ عَلَيْهَا سَهْماً أَوْ يَتَقَدَّمَ نَحْوَهَا بِتُرْسٍ وَلَنْ يُقِيمَ عَلَيْهَا مِقْلاعاً.٣٢
33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith the LORD.
بَلْ يَرْجِعَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْهُ، وَلَنْ يَدْخُلَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.٣٣
34 For I will defend this city to save it, for Mine own sake, and for My servant David's sake.'
لأَنَّنِي أُدَافِعُ عَنْهَا، وَأُنْقِذُهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي، وَإِكْرَاماً لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي».٣٤
35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
وَحَدَثَ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَنَّ مَلاكَ الرَّبِّ قَتَلَ مِئَةً وَخَمْسَةً وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفاً مِنْ جَيْشِ الأَشُورِيِّينَ، فَمَا إِنْ طَلَعَ الصَّبَاحُ حَتَّى كَانَتِ الْجُثَثُ الْمَيْتَةُ تَمْلأُ الْمَكَانَ.٣٥
36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
فَانْسَحَبَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ وَارْتَدَّ إِلَى بِلادِهِ وَمَكَثَ فِي نِينَوَى.٣٦
37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sarezer 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 إِلَهِهِ نِسْرُوخَ، اغْتَالَهُ ابْنَاهُ، أَدْرَمَّلَكُ وَشَرَآصِرُ، وَفَرَّا إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَارَاطَ، فَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آسَرْحَدُّونُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.٣٧
