Isaiah 38
1 In those days was Hezekiah sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.'"
| وَمَرِضَ حَزَقِيَّا فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ حَتَّى أَوْشَكَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: نَظِّمْ شُؤُونَ بَيْتِكَ لأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَبْرَأَ بَلْ حَتْماً تَمُوتَ». | ١ |
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,
| فَأَدَارَ حَزَقِيَّا وَجْهَهُ نَحْوَ الْحَائِطِ وَصَلَّى إِلَى الرَّبِّ، | ٢ |
3 and said, "Remember now, the LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight." Hezekiah wept bitterly.
| قَائِلاً: «آهِ يَا رَبُّ، اذْكُرْ كَيْفَ سَلَكْتُ أَمَامَكَ بِالأَمَانَةِ وَبِقَلْبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَصَنَعْتُ مَا يُرْضِيكَ». وَبَكَى حَزَقِيَّا بُكَاءً مُرّاً. | ٣ |
4 Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,
| فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِشَعْيَاءَ قَائِلاً: | ٤ |
5 "Go, and tell Hezekiah, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Look, I will add fifteen years to your life.
| «اذْهَبْ بَلِّغْ حَزَقِيَّا: هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ دَاوُدَ أَبِيكَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَلاتَكَ وَرَأَيْتُ دُمُوعَكَ، وَهَا أَنَا أُضِيفُ إِلَى عُمْرِكَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، | ٥ |
6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
| وَأُنْقِذُكَ أَنْتَ وَهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ مِنْ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ، وَأُدَافِعُ عَنْهَا. | ٦ |
7 This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken.
| وَهَذِهِ لَكَ عَلامَةٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ أَنَّهُ لابُدَّ أَنْ يُحَقِّقَ مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ: | ٧ |
8 Look, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which has gone down with the sun on the upper steps of Ahaz, to go backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down."'"
| سَأُرْجِعُ ظِلَّ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ عَلَى مِقْيَاسِ دَرَجَاتِ آحَازَ». وَهَكَذَا تَرَاجَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ بَعْدَ أَنْ كَانَتْ قَدْ تَخَطَّتْهَا. | ٨ |
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness.
| وَحِينَ شُفِيَ حَزَقِيَّا كَتَبَ هَذِهِ الْقَصِيدَةَ: | ٩ |
10 I said, "In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years." (Sheol h7585)
| قُلْتُ «هَا أَنَا فِي رَيْعَانِ أَيَّامِي أَنْحَدِرُ إِلَى عَالَمِ الْمَوْتَى وَتَفْنَى بَقِيَّةُ سَنَوَاتِ عُمْرِي» (Sheol h7585) | ١٠ |
11 I said, "I won't see the LORD in the land of the living. I will not look on humankind any longer with the inhabitants of the world.
| وَقُلْتُ «لَنْ أَرَى الرَّبَّ بَعْدُ فِي أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ، وَلَنْ أُبْصِرَ أَحَداً مِنَ النَّاسِ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا الْفَانِيَةِ. | ١١ |
12 My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd's tent. I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will make an end of me.
| قَدْ خُلِعَ عَنِّي مَسْكَنِي، وَانْتَقَلَ كَخَيْمَةِ الرَّاعِي. طَوَى حَيَاتِي كَحَائِكٍ: قَطَعَنِي مِنَ النَّوْلِ. أَنْتَ تُفْنِينِي لَيْلَ نَهَارَ. | ١٢ |
13 I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me.
| انْتَظَرْتُ بِصَبْرٍ حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَأَسَدٍ هَشَّمَ كُلَّ عِظَامِي. أَنْتَ تُفْنِينِي لَيْلَ نَهَارَ. | ١٣ |
14 I chip like a swallow or a thrush. I moan like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. LORD, I am oppressed. Be my security."
| أَصِيحُ كَسُنُونَةٍ، وَأَنُوحُ كَهَدِيلِ الْحمَامَةِ. كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، يَا رَبُّ إِنِّي مُتَضَايِقٌ فَكُنْ لِي مَأْمَناً.» | ١٤ |
15 What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.
| وَلَكِنْ مَاذَا أَقُولُ؟ فَقَدْ خَاطَبَنِي هُوَ. هُوَ نَفْسُهُ قَضَى بِذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ. طَارَ النَّوْمُ مِنِّي لِفَرْطِ مَرَارَةِ رُوحِي. | ١٥ |
16 The LORD is against them, but they live, and all of them who live have his spirit. Restore me to health and let me live.
| يَا رَبُّ، بِمِثْلِ هَذِهِ يَحْيَا النَّاسُ، وَفِي هَذِهِ حَيَاةُ رُوحِي، فَرُدَّ لِي عَافِيَتِي وَأَحْيِنِي. | ١٦ |
17 Look, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
| حَقَّا إِنَّ مَا قَاسَيْتُهُ مِنْ مَرَارَةٍ كَانَ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَيْرِي، فَقَدْ حَفِظْتَنِي بِحُبِّكَ مِنْ حُفْرَةِ الْهَلاكِ، وَأَلْقَيْتَ جَمِيعَ خَطَايَايَ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِكَ. | ١٧ |
18 For Sheol can't praise you. And death can't celebrate you. And those who go down into the pit can't hope for your truth. (Sheol h7585)
| لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي وُسْعِ الْهَاوِيَةِ أَنْ تَحْمَدَكَ، وَالْمَوْتُ لَا يُسَبِّحُكَ، وَلا يَقْدِرُ الَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ أَنْ يَرْجُوا أَمَانَتَكَ. (Sheol h7585) | ١٨ |
19 The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day. The father shall make known your truth to the children.
| الأَحْيَاءُ وَحْدَهُمْ يُسَبِّحُونَكَ كَمَا أَفْعَلُ الْيَوْمَ، وَيُحَدِّثُ الآبَاءُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ عَنْ أمَانَتِكَ | ١٩ |
20 The LORD will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
| الرَّبُّ يُنْقِذُنِي. فَلْنَشْدُ بِآلاتٍ وَتَرِيَّةٍ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِنَا فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٠ |
21 Now Isaiah had said, "Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover."
| ثُمَّ قَالَ إِشَعْيَاءُ: «ضَمِّدُوا الْقُرْحَةَ بِقُرْصِ تِينٍ فَيَبْرَأَ». | ٢١ |
22 Hezekiah also had said, "What is the sign that I will go up to the house of the LORD?"
| وَكَانَ حَزَقِيَّا قَدْ سَأَلَ: «مَا هِيَ الْعَلامَةُ الَّتِي تُؤَكِّدُ لِي أَنَّنِي سَأَذْهَبُ لِلصَّلاةِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ؟» | ٢٢ |
