Isaiah 37
1 And it comes to pass, at King Hezekiah’s hearing, that he tears his garments, and covers himself with sackcloth, and enters the house of YHWH,
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ حَزَقِيَّا ذَلِكَ الْكَلامَ مَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ وَارْتَدَى مِسْحاً وَدَخَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، | ١ |
2 and sends Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and [the] elderly of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, to Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet,
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ مُدِيرَ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ وَشَبْنَةَ الْكَاتِبَ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ مُرْتَدِينَ الْمُسُوحَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، | ٢ |
3 and they say to him, “Thus said Hezekiah: A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising, [is] this day; for sons have come to the birth, and there is not power to bear.
| وَقَالُوا لَهُ: يَقُولُ حَزَقِيَّا: «هَذَا الْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ ضِيقٍ وَإِهَانَةٍ وَكَرْبٍ، صِرْنَا فِيهِ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي الْمَخَاضَ وَهِيَ عَاجِزَةٌ عَنِ الْوِلادَةِ. | ٣ |
4 It may be your God YHWH hears the words of Rabshakeh with which the king of Asshur his lord has sent him to reproach the living God, and has decided concerning the words that your God YHWH has heard, and you have lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.”
| 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 come to Isaiah,
| فَعِنْدَمَا مَثُلَ رِجَالُ حَزَقِيَّا أَمَامَ إِشَعْيَاءَ، | ٥ |
6 and Isaiah says to them, “Thus you say to your lord, Thus said YHWH: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled Me.
| قَالَ لَهُمْ: «بَلِّغُوا سَيِّدَكُمْ، هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: لَا تَجْزَعْ مِمَّا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ تَجْدِيفِ رِجَالِ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ عَلَيَّ، | ٦ |
7 Behold, I am giving a spirit in him, and he has heard a report, and has turned back to his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.”
| فَهَا خَبَرٌ سَيئٌ يَرِدُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ بِلادِهِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى الْعَوْدَةِ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، حَيْثُ أَقْضِي عَلَيْهِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فِي عُقْرِ دَارِهِ». | ٧ |
8 And Rabshakeh turns back and finds the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he has heard that he has journeyed 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 hears concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “He has come out to fight with you”; and he hears, and sends 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 speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God in whom you are trusting lift you up, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
| «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 that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands—to devote them—and you are delivered!
| فَهَا أَنْتَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ بِمَا أَلْحَقَهُ مُلُوكُ أَشُورَ بِكُلِّ الْبُلْدَانِ مِنْ تَدْمِيرٍ كَامِلٍ، فَهَلْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَنْجُوَ أَنْتَ؟ | ١١ |
12 Did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed—Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] 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, Hena, and Ivvah?”
| أَيْنَ مَلِكُ حَمَاةَ، وَمَلِكُ أَرْفَادَ، وَمَلِكُ مَدِينَةِ سَفَرْوَايِمَ، وَهَيْنَعَ وَعِوَّا؟» | ١٣ |
14 And Hezekiah takes the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and reads them, and Hezekiah goes up to the house of YHWH, and Hezekiah spreads it before YHWH.
| فَتَنَاوَلَ حَزَقِيَّا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ وَقَرَأَهُ، ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَبَسَطَهُ أَمَامَهُ، | ١٤ |
15 And Hezekiah prays to YHWH, saying,
| وَصَلَّى قَائِلاً: | ١٥ |
16 “YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, You [are] God Himself—You alone—to all kingdoms of the earth, You have 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, O YHWH, Your ear, and hear; open, O YHWH, Your eyes and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib that he has 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 Truly, O YHWH, kings of Asshur have laid waste all the lands and their land,
| حَقّاً يَا رَبُّ، إِنَّ مُلُوكَ أَشُّورَ قَدْ أَبَادُوا الأُمَمَ وَدَمَّرُوا دِيَارَهُمْ | ١٨ |
19 so as to put their gods into fire—for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone—and they destroy them.
| وَطَرَحُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَأَبَادُوهَا لأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ فِعْلاً آلِهَةً بَلْ خَشَباً وَحِجَارَةً صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ | ١٩ |
20 And now, our God YHWH, save us from his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth know that You [are] YHWH, You alone.”
| فَخَلِّصْنَا الآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، أَنْقِذْنَا مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتُدْرِكَ مَمَالِكُ الأَرْضِ بِأَسْرِهَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ». | ٢٠ |
21 And Isaiah son of Amoz sends to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: That which you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur—
| 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 that YHWH spoke concerning him: Trampled on you, laughed at you, Has the virgin daughter of Zion, The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken the head behind 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 reproached and reviled? And against whom—lifted up the voice? Indeed, you lift 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 the hand of your servants You have reviled the Lord, and say: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of hills, The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the high place of its extremity, The forest of its 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. | ٢٤ |
25 I have dug and drunk waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
| قَدْ حَفَرْتُ آبَاراً وَشَرِبْتُ مِيَاهاً، وَبِبَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ جَفَّفْتُ جَمِيعَ خُلْجَانِ مِصْرَ.‘ | ٢٥ |
26 Have you not heard from afar [that] I did it, From days of old—that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it is to make desolate, Ruinous heaps—fortified cities,
| 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 are feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up. They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted grain, before it has risen up.
| خَارَتْ قُوَى أَهْلِهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا مُرْتَاعِينَ خَجِلِينَ، صَارُوا كَعُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ، كَالنَّبَاتِ الأَخْضَرِ وَكَحَشِيشِ السُّطُوحِ الذَّاوِي قَبْلَ نُمُوِّهِ. | ٢٧ |
28 And your sitting down, and your going out, And your coming in, I have known, And your anger toward Me.
| ولَكِنِّي مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَى حَرَكَاتِكَ وَسَكَنَاتِكَ وَهَيَجَانِكَ عَلَيَّ. | ٢٨ |
29 Because of your anger toward Me, And your noise—it came up into My ears, I have put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And I have caused you to turn back In the way in 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 And this [is] the sign to you, Self-sown grain [is] food of the year, And in the second year the spontaneous growth, 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 And it has continued—The escaped of the house of Judah that has been left—To take root beneath, And it has made fruit upward.
| وَيعُودُ النَّاجُونَ البَاقُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا فَتَتَأَصَّلُ جُذُورُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَيَزْدَهِرُونَ وَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ. | ٣١ |
32 For a remnant goes forth from Jerusalem, And an escape from Mount Zion, The zeal of YHWH of Hosts does this.
| لأَنَّ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَخْرُجُ بَقِيَّةٌ وَمِنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَأْتِي النَّاجُونَ فَغَيْرَةُ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا». | ٣٢ |
33 Therefore, thus said YHWH, Concerning the king of Asshur: He does not come into this city, Nor does he shoot an arrow there, Nor does he come before it [with] shield, Nor does he pour out 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 In the way that he came, in it he turns back, And to this city he does not come in, A declaration of YHWH,
| بَلْ يَرْجِعُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْهُ وَلَنْ يَدْخُلَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٣٤ |
35 And I have covered over this city, To save it, for My own sake, And for the sake of My servant David.”
| لأَنِّي أُدَافِعُ عَنْهَا وَأُنْقِذُهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي وَإِكْرَاماً لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي». | ٣٥ |
36 And a messenger of YHWH goes out, and strikes in the camp of Asshur one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and [men] rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them [are] dead corpses.
| 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 he journeys, and goes, and Sennacherib king of Asshur turns back, and dwells in Nineveh.
| فَانْسَحَبَ سَنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُورَ وَارْتَدَّ إِلَى بِلادِهِ وَمَكَثَ فِي نِينَوَى | ٣٧ |
38 And it comes to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch, and his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer have struck him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and his son Esar-Haddon reigns in his stead.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَعَبَّدُ فِي هَيْكَلِ إِلهِهِ نِسْرُوخَ اغْتَالَهُ ابْنَاهُ أدْرَمَلَّكُ وَشَرَآصَرُ وَفَرَّا إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَارَاطَ، فَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آسَرْحَدُّونُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ. | ٣٨ |
