Isaiah 38
1 In those days, was Hezekiah sick, unto death, —and Isaiah the prophet son of Amoz came in unto him, and said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, Set in order thy house, for, about to die thou art and shalt not recover.
| 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 unto the wall, —and prayed unto Yahweh;
| فَأَدَارَ حَزَقِيَّا وَجْهَهُ نَحْوَ الْحَائِطِ وَصَلَّى إِلَى الرَّبِّ، | ٢ |
3 and said, —I beseech thee, O Yahweh, remember, I pray thee, how I have walked before thee in faithfulness and with an undivided heart, and, that which is good in thine eyes, have I done. And Hezekiah wept aloud.
| قَائِلاً: «آهِ يَا رَبُّ، اذْكُرْ كَيْفَ سَلَكْتُ أَمَامَكَ بِالأَمَانَةِ وَبِقَلْبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَصَنَعْتُ مَا يُرْضِيكَ». وَبَكَى حَزَقِيَّا بُكَاءً مُرّاً. | ٣ |
4 Then came the word of Yahweh unto, Isaiah, saying:
| فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِشَعْيَاءَ قَائِلاً: | ٤ |
5 Go, and say unto Hezekiah—Thus, saith Yahweh, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, —Behold me! about to add unto thy days, fifteen years;
| «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 And out of the hand of the king of Assyria, will I deliver thee, and this city; And I will throw a covering over this city.
| وَأُنْقِذُكَ أَنْتَ وَهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ مِنْ مَلِكِ أَشُورَ، وَأُدَافِعُ عَنْهَا. | ٦ |
7 And, this, to thee, shall be the sign from Yahweh, —that Yahweh will do this thing which he hath spoken: —
| وَهَذِهِ لَكَ عَلامَةٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ أَنَّهُ لابُدَّ أَنْ يُحَقِّقَ مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ: | ٧ |
8 Behold me! causing the shadow on the steps, which hath come gone down on the steps of Ahaz with the sun, to return, backwards ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps, by the steps which it had come 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 then recovered from his sickness:
| وَحِينَ شُفِيَ حَزَقِيَّا كَتَبَ هَذِهِ الْقَصِيدَةَ: | ٩ |
10 I, said—In the noontide of my days, I must enter the gates of hades, —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 shall not see Yah, Yah, in the land of the living, I shall discern the son of earth no longer, with the dwellers in the quiet land.
| وَقُلْتُ «لَنْ أَرَى الرَّبَّ بَعْدُ فِي أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ، وَلَنْ أُبْصِرَ أَحَداً مِنَ النَّاسِ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا الْفَانِيَةِ. | ١١ |
12 My dwelling, hath been broken up. And is stripped from me, like a shepherd’s tent, —I have rolled up—as a weaver—my life From the loom, doth he cut me off, From day until night, [I said] —Thou wilt finish me.
| قَدْ خُلِعَ عَنِّي مَسْكَنِي، وَانْتَقَلَ كَخَيْمَةِ الرَّاعِي. طَوَى حَيَاتِي كَحَائِكٍ: قَطَعَنِي مِنَ النَّوْلِ. أَنْتَ تُفْنِينِي لَيْلَ نَهَارَ. | ١٢ |
13 I cried out, until morning, like a lion, Thus, will he break all my bones! From day until night, Thou wilt finish me!
| انْتَظَرْتُ بِصَبْرٍ حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَأَسَدٍ هَشَّمَ كُلَّ عِظَامِي. أَنْتَ تُفْنِينِي لَيْلَ نَهَارَ. | ١٣ |
14 As a twittering swallow, so, do I chatter, I coo as a dove, —Mine eyes languish through looking on high, O My Lord! distress is upon me—my Surety!
| أَصِيحُ كَسُنُونَةٍ، وَأَنُوحُ كَهَدِيلِ الْحمَامَةِ. كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، يَا رَبُّ إِنِّي مُتَضَايِقٌ فَكُنْ لِي مَأْمَناً.» | ١٤ |
15 What can I say? Since he hath promised for me, Himself, will perform. I will go softly, all my years. Because of the bitterness of my soul,
| وَلَكِنْ مَاذَا أَقُولُ؟ فَقَدْ خَاطَبَنِي هُوَ. هُوَ نَفْسُهُ قَضَى بِذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ. طَارَ النَّوْمُ مِنِّي لِفَرْطِ مَرَارَةِ رُوحِي. | ١٥ |
16 O My Lord! on those things do men live, —And, altogether in them, is the life of my spirit, When thou hast strengthened me and made me live.
| يَا رَبُّ، بِمِثْلِ هَذِهِ يَحْيَا النَّاسُ، وَفِي هَذِهِ حَيَاةُ رُوحِي، فَرُدَّ لِي عَافِيَتِي وَأَحْيِنِي. | ١٦ |
17 Lo! for well-being, I had bitterness—bitterness, —But, thou, cleaving unto my soul, hast raised me from the pit of corruption, For thou hast cast, behind thy back all my sins.
| حَقَّا إِنَّ مَا قَاسَيْتُهُ مِنْ مَرَارَةٍ كَانَ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَيْرِي، فَقَدْ حَفِظْتَنِي بِحُبِّكَ مِنْ حُفْرَةِ الْهَلاكِ، وَأَلْقَيْتَ جَمِيعَ خَطَايَايَ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِكَ. | ١٧ |
18 For, hades, cannot praise thee Nor, death, celebrate thee, —They who go down to the pit cannot wait for thy faithfulness. (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, can praise thee, As I do this day, —A father, to his children, can make known thy faithfulness.
| الأَحْيَاءُ وَحْدَهُمْ يُسَبِّحُونَكَ كَمَا أَفْعَلُ الْيَوْمَ، وَيُحَدِّثُ الآبَاءُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ عَنْ أمَانَتِكَ | ١٩ |
20 Yahweh, [was willing] to save me, —Therefore, on my stringed instruments, will we play—All the days of our life By the house of Yahweh.
| الرَّبُّ يُنْقِذُنِي. فَلْنَشْدُ بِآلاتٍ وَتَرِيَّةٍ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِنَا فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٠ |
21 And Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and let them press it over the boil, that he may recover.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ إِشَعْيَاءُ: «ضَمِّدُوا الْقُرْحَةَ بِقُرْصِ تِينٍ فَيَبْرَأَ». | ٢١ |
22 And Hezekiah had said—What is the sign—that I shall go up unto the house of Yahweh?
| وَكَانَ حَزَقِيَّا قَدْ سَأَلَ: «مَا هِيَ الْعَلامَةُ الَّتِي تُؤَكِّدُ لِي أَنَّنِي سَأَذْهَبُ لِلصَّلاةِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ؟» | ٢٢ |
