Isaiah 36
1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, [that] Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا أَنَّ سَنْحَارِيبَ مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ صَعِدَ عَلَى كُلِّ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا ٱلْحَصِينَةِ وَأَخَذَهَا. | ١ |
2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem against king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
| وَأَرْسَلَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ رَبْشَاقَى مِنْ لَاخِيشَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا بِجَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ، فَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ قَنَاةِ ٱلْبِرْكَةِ ٱلْعُلْيَا فِي طَرِيقِ حَقْلِ ٱلْقَصَّارِ. | ٢ |
3 Then came forth to him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
| فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ أَلِيَاقِيمُ بْنُ حِلْقِيَّا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَشَبْنَةُ ٱلْكَاتِبُ، وَيُوآخُ بْنُ آسَافَ ٱلْمُسَجِّلُ. | ٣ |
4 And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence [is] this in which thou trustest?
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَبْشَاقَى: «قُولُوا لِحَزَقِيَّا: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ: مَا هُوَ هَذَا ٱلِٱتِّكَالُ ٱلَّذِي ٱتَّكَلْتَهُ؟ | ٤ |
5 I say, [sayest thou] (but [they are but] vain words) [I have] counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
| أَقُولُ إِنَّمَا كَلَامُ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ هُوَ مَشُورَةٌ وَبَأْسٌ لِلْحَرْبِ. وَٱلْآنَ عَلَى مَنِ ٱتَّكَلْتَ حَتَّى عَصَيْتَ عَلَيَّ؟ | ٥ |
6 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; on which if a man lean, it will enter his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
| إِنَّكَ قَدِ ٱتَّكَلْتَ عَلَى عُكَّازِ هَذِهِ ٱلْقَصَبَةِ ٱلْمَرْضُوضَةِ، عَلَى مِصْرَ، ٱلَّتِي إِذَا تَوَكَّأَ أَحَدٌ عَلَيْهَا دَخَلَتْ فِي كَفِّهِ وَثَقَبَتْهَا. هَكَذَا فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ عَلَيْهِ. | ٦ |
7 But if thou shalt say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: [is it] not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
| وَإِذَا قُلْتَ لِي: عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا ٱتَّكَلْنَا، أَفَلَيْسَ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَزَالَ حَزَقِيَّا مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِ وَمَذَابِحَهُ، وَقَالَ لِيَهُوذَا وَلِأُورُشَلِيمَ: أَمَامَ هَذَا ٱلْمَذْبَحِ تَسْجُدُونَ. | ٧ |
8 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou canst on thy part set riders upon them.
| فَٱلْآنَ رَاهِنْ سَيِّدِي مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ، فَأُعْطِيكَ أَلْفَيْ فَرَسٍ إِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَاكِبِينَ! | ٨ |
9 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
| فَكَيْفَ تَرُدُّ وَجْهَ وَالٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ عَبِيدِ سَيِّدِي ٱلصِّغَارِ، وَتَتَّكِلُ عَلَى مِصْرَ لِأَجْلِ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَفُرْسَانٍ؟ | ٩ |
10 And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
| وَٱلْآنَ هَلْ بِدُونِ ٱلرَّبِّ صَعِدْتُ عَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِأُخْرِبَهَا؟ ٱلرَّبُّ قَالَ لِي: ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱخْرِبْهَا». | ١٠ |
11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand [it]: and speak not to us in the Jew's language, in the ears of the people that [are] on the wall.
| فَقَالَ أَلِيَاقِيمُ وَشَبْنَةُ وَيُوآخُ لِرَبْشَاقَى: «كَلِّمْ عَبِيدَكَ بِٱلْأَرَامِيِّ لِأَنَّنَا نَفْهَمُهُ، وَلَا تُكَلِّمْنَا بِٱلْيَهُودِيِّ فِي مَسَامِعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ». | ١١ |
12 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may devour their vilest excretions with you?
| فَقَالَ رَبْشَاقَى: «هَلْ إِلَى سَيِّدِكَ وَإِلَيْكَ أَرْسَلَنِي سَيِّدِي لِكَيْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ؟ أَلَيْسَ إِلَى ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلْجَالِسِينَ عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ، لِيَأْكُلُوا عَذِرَتَهُمْ وَيَشْرَبُوا بَوْلَهُمْ مَعَكُمْ؟». | ١٢ |
13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jew's language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
| ثُمَّ وَقَفَ رَبْشَاقَى وَنَادَى بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ بِٱلْيَهُودِيِّ وَقَالَ: «ٱسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ. | ١٣ |
14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he will not be able to deliver you.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: لَا يَخْدَعْكُمْ حَزَقِيَّا لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُنْقِذَكُمْ، | ١٤ |
15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, the LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
| وَلَا يَجْعَلْكُمْ حَزَقِيَّا تَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: إِنْقَاذًا يُنْقِذُنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. لَا تُدْفَعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ إِلَى يَدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ. | ١٥ |
16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make [an agreement] with me [by] a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
| لَا تَسْمَعُوا لِحَزَقِيَّا. لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ: ٱعْقِدُوا مَعِي صُلْحًا، وَٱخْرُجُوا إِلَيَّ وَكُلُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ جَفْنَتِهِ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ تِينَتِهِ، وَٱشْرَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَاءَ بِئْرِهِ | ١٦ |
17 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
| حَتَّى آتِيَ وَآخُذَكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مِثْلِ أَرْضِكُمْ، أَرْضِ حِنْطَةٍ وَخَمْرٍ، أَرْضِ خُبْزٍ وَكُرُومٍ. | ١٧ |
18 [Beware] lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
| لَا يَغُرَّكُمْ حَزَقِيَّا قَائِلًا: ٱلرَّبُّ يُنْقِذُنَا. هَلْ أَنْقَذَ آلِهَةُ ٱلْأُمَمِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْضَهُ مِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ؟ | ١٨ |
19 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
| أَيْنَ آلِهَةُ حَمَاةَ وَأَرْفَادَ؟ أَيْنَ آلِهَةُ سَفَرْوَايِمَ؟ هَلْ أَنْقَذُوا ٱلسَّامِرَةَ مِنْ يَدِي؟ | ١٩ |
20 Who [are they] among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
| مَنْ مِنْ كُلِّ آلِهَةِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي أَنْقَذَ أَرْضَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِي، حَتَّى يُنْقِذَ ٱلرَّبُّ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ يَدِي؟». | ٢٠ |
21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
| فَسَكَتُوا وَلَمْ يُجِيبُوا بِكَلِمَةٍ لِأَنَّ أَمْرَ ٱلْمَلِكِ كَانَ قَائِلًا: «لَا تُجِيبُوهُ». | ٢١ |
22 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with [their] clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
| فَجَاءَ أَلِيَاقِيمُ بْنُ حِلْقِيَّا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَشَبْنَةُ ٱلْكَاتِبُ وَيُوآخُ بْنُ آسَافَ ٱلْمُسَجِّلُ إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا وَثِيَابُهُمْ مُمَزَّقَةٌ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِكَلَامِ رَبْشَاقَى. | ٢٢ |
