KING JAMES BIBLESMITH VAN DYKE
1 After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself.1 وبعد هذه الأمور وهذه الامانة اتى سنحاريب ملك اشور ودخل يهوذا ونزل على المدن الحصينة وطمع باخضاعها لنفسه.
2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,2 ولما رأى حزقيا ان سنحاريب قد اتى ووجهه على محاربة اورشليم
3 He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him.3 تشاور هو ورؤساؤه وجبابرته على طمّ مياه العيون التي هي خارج المدينة فساعدوه.
4 So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?4 فتجمع شعب كثير وطمّوا جميع الينابيع والنهر الجاري في وسط الارض قائلين لماذا يأتي ملوك اشور ويجدون مياها غزيرة.
5 Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.5 وتشدد وبنى كل السور المنهدم واعلاه الى الابراج وسورا آخر خارجا وحصّن القلعة مدينة داود وعمل سلاحا بكثرة واتراسا.
6 And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,6 وجعل رؤساء قتال على الشعب وجمعهم اليه الى ساحة باب المدينة وطيب قلوبهم قائلا
7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:7 تشددوا وتشجعوا. لا تخافوا ولا ترتاعوا من ملك اشور ومن كل الجمهور الذي معه لان معنا اكثر مما معه.
8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.8 معه ذراع بشر ومعنا الرب الهنا ليساعدنا ويحارب حروبنا. فاستند الشعب على كلام حزقيا ملك يهوذا
9 After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,9 بعد هذا ارسل سنحاريب ملك اشور عبيده الى اورشليم. وهو على لخيش وكل سلطنته معه. الى حزقيا ملك يهوذا والى كل يهوذا الذين في اورشليم يقولون.
10 Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?10 هكذا يقول سنحاريب ملك اشور. على ماذا تتكلون وتقيمون في الحصار في اورشليم.
11 Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?11 أليس حزقيا يغويكم ليدفعكم للموت بالجوع والعطش قائلا الرب الهنا ينقذنا من يد ملك اشور.
12 Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?12 أليس حزقيا هو الذي ازال مرتفعاته ومذابحه وكلم يهوذا واورشليم قائلا امام مذبح واحد تسجدون وعليه توقدون.
13 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?13 أما تعلمون ما فعلته انا وآبائي بجميع شعوب الاراضي. فهل قدرت آلهة امم الاراضي ان تنقذ ارضها من يدي.
14 Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?14 من من جميع آلهة هؤلاء الامم الذين حرمهم آبائي استطاع ان ينقذ شعبه من يدي حتى يستطيع الهكم ان ينقذكم من يدي.
15 Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?15 والآن لا يخدعنّكم حزقيا ولا يغوينّكم هكذا ولا تصدقوه. لانه لم يقدر اله امة او مملكة ان ينقذ شعبه من يدي ويد آبائي. فكم بالحري الهكم لا ينقذكم من يدي.
16 And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.16 وتكلم عبيده اكثر ضد الرب الاله وضد حزقيا عبده.
17 He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.17 وكتب رسائل لتعيير الرب اله اسرائيل وللتكلم ضده قائلا كما ان آلهة امم الاراضي لم تنقذ شعوبها من يدي كذلك لا ينقذ اله حزقيا شعبه من يدي.
18 Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.18 وصرخوا بصوت عظيم باليهودي الى شعب اورشليم الذين على السور لتخويفهم وترويعهم لكي ياخذوا المدينة.
19 And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.19 وتكلموا على اله اورشليم كما على آلهة شعوب الارض صنعة ايدي الناس
20 And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.20 فصلّى حزقيا الملك واشعياء بن آموص النبي لذلك وصرخا الى السماء.
21 And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.21 فارسل الرب ملاكا فاباد كل جبار بأس ورئيس وقائد في محلّة ملك اشور. فرجع بخزي الوجه الى ارضه. ولما دخل بيت الهه قتله هناك بالسيف الذين خرجوا من احشائه.
22 Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and guided them on every side.22 وخلص الرب حزقيا وسكان اورشليم من سنحاريب ملك اشور ومن يد الجميع وحماهم من كل ناحية.
23 And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.23 وكان كثيرون ياتون بتقدمات الرب الى اورشليم وتحف لحزقيا ملك يهوذا واعتبر في اعين جميع الامم بعد ذلك
24 In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.24 في تلك الايام مرض حزقيا الى حد الموت وصلّى الى الرب فكلمه واعطاه علامة.
25 But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.25 ولكن لم يردّ حزقيا حسبما أنعم عليه لان قلبه ارتفع فكان غضب عليه وعلى يهوذا واورشليم
26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.26 ثم تواضع حزقيا بسبب ارتفاع قلبه هو وسكان اورشليم فلم يأت عليهم غضب الرب في ايام حزقيا.
27 And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels;27 وكان لحزقيا غنى وكرامة كثيرة جدا وعمل لنفسه خزائن للفضة والذهب والحجارة الكريمة والاطياب والاتراس وكل آنية ثمينة
28 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.28 ومخازن لغلة الحنطة والمسطار والزيت واواري لكل انواع البهائم وللقطعان اواري.
29 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.29 وعمل لنفسه ابراجا ومواشي غنم وبقر بكثرة لان الله اعطاه اموالا كثيرة جدا.
30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.30 وحزقيا هذا سد مخرج مياه جيحون الاعلى واجراها تحت الارض الى الجهة الغربية من مدينة داود. وافلح حزقيا في كل عمله.
31 Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.31 وهكذا في أمر تراجم رؤساء بابل الذين ارسلوا اليه ليسألوا عن الاعجوبة التي كانت في الارض تركه الله ليجربه ليعلم كل ما في قلبه.
32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.32 وبقيت امور حزقيا ومراحمه ها هي مكتوبة في رؤيا اشعياء بن آموص النبي في سفر ملوك يهوذا واسرائيل.
33 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.33 ثم اضطجع حزقيا مع آبائه فدفنوه في عقبة قبور بني داود وعمل له اكراما عند موته كل يهوذا وسكان اورشليم. وملك منسّى ابنه عوضا عنه
