Kings IV 19
1 And it came to pass when king Ezekias heard it, that he tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth, an 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 Heliakim the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and the elders of the priests, clothed with sackcloth, to Esaias the prophet the son of Amos.
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ أَلْيَاقِيمَ مُدِيرَ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ وَشِبْنَةَ الْكَاتِبَ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَهُمْ مُرْتَدُونَ الْمُسُوحَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، | ٢ |
3 And they said to him, Thus says Ezekias, This day [is] a day of tribulation, and rebuke, and provocation: for the children are come to the travail-[pangs], but the mother has no strength.
| 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 Peradventure the Lord your God will hear all the words of Rapsakes, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God and to revile him with the words which the Lord your God has heard: and you shall offer [your] prayer for the remnant that is found.
| 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 Ezekias came to Esaias.
| فَجَاءَ رِجَالُ الْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا لإِشَعْيَاءَ، | ٥ |
6 And Esaias said to them, Thus shall you say to your master, Thus says the Lord, Be not afraid of the words which you have heard, wherewith the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِشَعْيَاءُ: «بَلِّغوا سَيِّدَكُمْ: هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: لَا تَجْزَعْ مِمَّا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ تَجْدِيفِ رِجَالِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ عَلَيَّ. | ٦ |
7 Behold, I send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and shall return to his own land; and I will overthrow him with 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 Rapsakes returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Lobna: for he heard that he [had] departed from Lachis.
| 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 he heard concerning Tharaca king of the Ethiopians, saying, Behold, he is come forth to fight with you: and he returned, and sent messengers to Ezekias, saying,
| وَبَلَغَ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ أَنَّ تُرْهَاقَةَ مَلِكَ كُوشٍ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِمُحَارَبَتِهِ، فَبَعَثَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى رُسُلاً إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلاً: | ٩ |
10 Let not your God on whom you trust encourage you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
| «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, you have heard all that the kings of the Assyrians have done in all the lands, to waste them utterly: and 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 at all delivered them, whom my fathers destroyed; both Gozan, and Charran, and Raphis, and the sons of Edem who were in Thaesthen?
| هَلْ أَنْقَذَتْ آلِهَةُ الأُمَمِ الأُخْرَى أَهْلَ جُوزَانَ وَحَارَانَ وَرَصْفَ وَبَنِي عَدَنَ الَّذِينَ فِي تَلَسَّارَ الَّذينَ أَفْنَاهُمْ آبَائِي؟ | ١٢ |
13 Where is the king of Haemath, and the king of Arphad? and where is the king of the city of Seppharvaim, of Ana, and Aba?
| أَيْنَ مَلِكُ حَمَاةَ وَمَلِكُ أَرْفَادَ وَمَلِكُ مَدِينَةِ سَفْرَوَايِمَ وَهَيْنَعَ وَعَوَّا؟» | ١٣ |
14 And Ezekias took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and he went up to the house of the Lord, and Ezekias spread it before the Lord,
| فَتَنَاوَلَ حَزَقِيَّا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ وَقَرَأَهُ، ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَبَسَطَهُ أَمَامَهُ. | ١٤ |
15 and said, O Lord God of Israel that dwell over the cherubs, you are the only god in all the kingdoms of the earth; you have 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 your ear, O Lord, and hear: open, Lord, your eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherim, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
| أَرْهِفْ يَا رَبُّ أُذُنَيْكَ وَاسْتَمِعْ. افْتَحْ يَا رَبُّ عَيْنَيْكَ وَانْظُرْ، وَاسْمَعْ كُلَّ تَهْدِيدَاتِ سَنْحَارِيبَ الَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا لِيُعَيِّرَ اللهَ الْحَيَّ. | ١٦ |
17 For truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have wasted the nations,
| حَقّاً يَا رَبُّ إِنَّ مُلُوكَ أَشُّورَ قَدْ أَهْلَكُوا الأُمَمَ وَدَمَّرُوا دِيَارَهُمْ، | ١٧ |
18 and have cast their gods into the fire: because they are no gods, but the works of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.
| وَطَرَحُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَأَبَادُوهَا لأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ فِعْلاً آلِهَةً بَلْ خَشَباً وَحِجَارَةً مِنْ صَنْعَةِ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ، | ١٨ |
19 And now, O Lord our God, deliver us out of his hand, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall know that you alone [are] the Lord God.
| فَخَلِّصْنَا الآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتُدْرِكَ مَمَالِكُ الأَرْضِ بِأَسْرِهَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ». | ١٩ |
20 And Esaias the son of Amos sent to Ezekias, saying, Thus says the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, I have heard your prayer to me concerning Sennacherim king of the Assyrians.
| 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 which the Lord has spoken against him; The virgin daughter of Sion has made light of you, and mocked 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. | ٢١ |
22 Whom have you reproached, and whom have you reviled? and against whom have you lifted up your voice, and raised your eyes on high? [Is it] against the Holy One of Israel?
| مَنْ عَيَّرْتَ وَجَدَّفْتَ عَلَيْهِ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ رَفَعْتَ صَوْتاً وَشَمَخْتَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ زَهْواً؟ أَعَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٢٢ |
23 By your messengers you has reproached the Lord, and have said, I will go up with the multitude of my chariots, to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Libanus, and I have cut down the height of his cedar, [and] his choice cypresses; and I have come into the midst of the forest and of Carmel.
| 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 refreshed [myself], and have drunk strange waters, and I have dried up with the sole of my foot all the rivers of fortified places.
| قَدْ حَفَرْتُ آبَاراً فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ وَشَرِبْتُ مِيَاهاً، وَبِبَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ جَفَّفْتُ جَمِيعَ خُلْجَانِ مِصْرَ. | ٢٤ |
25 I have brought about [the matter], I have brought it to a conclusion; and it is come to the destruction of the bands of warlike prisoners, [even of] strong cities.
| 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 And they that lived in them were weak in hand, they quaked and were confounded, they became [as] grass of the field, or [as] the green herb, the grass [growing on] houses, and that which is trodden down by him that stands [upon it].
| وَقَدْ خَارَتْ قُوَى أَهْلِهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا مُرْتَاعِينَ خَجِلِينَ، صَارُوا كَعُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ، كَالنَّبَاتِ اللَّيِّنِ وَكَحَشِيشِ السُّطُوحِ الذَّاوِي قَبْلَ نُمُوِّهِ. | ٢٦ |
27 But I know your down-sitting, and your going forth, and your rage against me.
| وَلَكِنِّي مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَى حَرَكَاتِكَ وَسَكَنَاتِكَ وَهَيَجَانِكَ عَلَيَّ. | ٢٧ |
28 Because you was angry against me, and your fierceness is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hooks in your nostrils, 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 سَأَشْكُمُكَ بِخِزَامَتِي فِي أَنْفِكَ، وَأَضَعُ لِجَامِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَأُعِيدُكَ فِي نَفْسِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أَقْبَلْتَ مِنْهُ. | ٢٨ |
29 And this shall be a sign to you; eat this year the things that grow of themselves, and in the second year the things which spring up: and in the third year [let there be] sowing, and reaping, and planting of vineyards, and eat you the fruit of them.
| 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 he shall increase him that has escaped of the house of Juda: and the remnant [shall strike] root beneath, and it shall produce fruit above.
| وَيَعُودُ النَّاجُونَ الْبَاقُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا، فَتَتَأَصَّلُ جُذُورُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَيَحْمِلُونَ أَثْمَاراً عَلَى أَغْصَانِهِمْ، | ٣٠ |
31 For from Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and he that escapes from the mountain of Sion: the zeal of the Lord of host shall do this.
| لأَنَّ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَخْرُجُ الْبَقِيَّةُ، وَمِنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَأْتِي النَّاجُونَ، فَغَيْرَةُ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا. | ٣١ |
32 [Is it] not so? Thus says the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow there, neither shall a shield come against it, neither shall he heap 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 by which he comes, by it shall he return, and he shall not enter into this city, says the Lord.
| بَلْ يَرْجِعَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْهُ، وَلَنْ يَدْخُلَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٣٣ |
34 And I will defend this city as with a shield, for my 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 at night that the angel of the Lord went forth, an struck in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they rose early in the morning, and, behold, [these 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 And Sennacherim king of the Assyrians departed, and went and returned, and lived in Nineve.
| فَانْسَحَبَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ وَارْتَدَّ إِلَى بِلادِهِ وَمَكَثَ فِي نِينَوَى. | ٣٦ |
37 And it came to pass, while he was worshipping in the house of Meserach his god, that Adramelech and Sarasar his sons struck him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararath; and Asordan 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 |
