1 And when king Hezekiah had heard this, he tore his garments, and he covered himself with sackcloth, and he entered the house of the Lord.1 فلما سمع الملك حزقيا ذلك مزّق ثيابه وتغطى بمسح ودخل بيت الرب.
2 And he sent Eliakim, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and the elders from the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.2 وارسل الياقيم الذي على البيت وشبنة الكاتب وشيوخ الكهنة متغطين بمسح الى اشعياء النبي ابن آموص.
3 And they said to him: “Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. The sons are ready to be born, but the woman in labor does not have the strength.3 فقالوا له هكذا يقول حزقيا. هذا اليوم يوم شدة وتأديب واهانة. لان الاجنّة قد دنت الى المولد ولا قوّة للولادة.
4 Perhaps the Lord, your God, may hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of the Assyrians, his lord, sent so that he would reproach the living God, and rebuke with words, which the Lord, your God, has heard. And so, offer a prayer on behalf of the remnant that has been found.”4 لعل الرب الهك يسمع جميع كلام ربشاقى الذي ارسله ملك اشور سيده ليعيّر الاله الحي فيوبخ على الكلام الذي سمعه الرب الهك. فارفع صلاة من اجل البقية الموجودة
5 And the servants of king Hezekiah went to Isaiah.5 فجاء عبيد الملك حزقيا الى اشعياء.
6 And Isaiah said to them: “So shall you say to your lord. Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid before the face of the words that you have heard, by which the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed me.6 فقال لهم اشعياء هكذا تقولون لسيدكم. هكذا قال الرب. لا تخف بسبب الكلام الذي سمعته الذي جدّف عليّ به غلمان ملك اشور.
7 Behold, I will send a spirit to him, and he will hear a report, and he will return to his own land. And I will bring him down by the sword in his own land.”7 هانذا اجعل فيه روحا فيسمع خبرا ويرجع الى ارضه وأسقطه بالسيف في ارضه
8 Then Rabshakeh returned, and he found the king of the Assyrians fighting against Libnah. For he had heard that he had withdrawn from Lachish.8 فرجع ربشاقى ووجد ملك اشور يحارب لبنة لانه سمع انه ارتحل عن لخيش.
9 And when he had heard from Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia, saying, “Behold, he has gone out so that he may fight against you,” and when he went forth against him, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:9 وسمع عن ترهاقة ملك كوش قولا قد خرج ليحاربك فعاد وارسل رسلا الى حزقيا قائلا.
10 “So shall you say to Hezekiah, the king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom you trust, lead you astray. And you should not say, ‘Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’10 هكذا تكلمون حزقيا ملك يهوذا قائلين. لا يخدعك الهك الذي انت متكل عليه قائلا لا تدفع اورشليم الى يد ملك اشور.
11 For you yourself have heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done to all the lands, the manner in which they have laid waste to them. Therefore, how would you alone be able to be freed?11 انك قد سمعت ما فعل ملوك اشور بجميع الاراضي لاهلاكها وهل تنجو انت.
12 Have the gods of the nations freed any of those whom my fathers have destroyed, such as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were at Telassar?12 هل انقذت آلهة الامم هؤلاء الذين اهلكهم آبائي جوزان وحاران ورصف وبني عدن الذين في تلاسّار.
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and of Hena, and of Avva?”13 اين ملك حماة وملك ارفاد وملك مدينة سفروايم وهينع وعوّا.
14 And so, when Hezekiah had received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he ascended to the house of the Lord, and he spread it out before the Lord.14 فأخذ حزقيا الرسائل من ايدي الرسل وقرأها ثم صعد الى بيت الرب ونشرها حزقيا امام الرب.
15 And he prayed in his sight, saying: “O Lord, God of Israel, who sits upon the cherubim, you alone are God, over all the kings of the earth. You made heaven and earth.15 وصلى حزقيا امام الرب وقال ايها الرب اله اسرائيل الجالس فوق الكروبيم انت هو الاله وحدك لكل ممالك الارض انت صنعت السماء والارض.
16 Incline your ear, and listen. Open your eyes, O Lord, and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, who sent so that he might reproach the living God before us.16 امل يا رب اذنك واسمع. وافتح يا رب عينيك وانظر واسمع كلام سنحاريب الذي ارسله ليعيّر الله الحي.
17 Truly, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have devastated all peoples and lands.17 حقا يا رب ان ملوك اشور قد خربوا الامم واراضيهم.
18 And they have cast their gods into the fire. For they were not gods, but instead were the works of men’s hands, out of wood and stone. And so they destroyed them.18 ودفعوا آلهتهم الى النار ولانهم ليسوا آلهة بل صنعة ايدي الناس خشب وحجر فابادوهم.
19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, bring us salvation from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord God.”19 والآن ايها الرب الهنا خلصنا من يده فتعلم ممالك الارض كلها انك انت الرب الاله وحدك
20 Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I have heard what you beseeched from me, concerning Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians.20 فارسل اشعياء بن آموص الى حزقيا قائلا. هكذا قال الرب اله اسرائيل الذي صليت اليه من جهة سنحاريب ملك اشور. قد سمعت.
21 This is the word that the Lord has spoken about him: The virgin daughter of Zion has spurned and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind your back.21 هذا هو الكلام الذي تكلم به الرب عليه. احتقرتك واستهزأت بك العذراء ابنة صهيون. ونحوك انغضت ابنة اورشليم راسها.
22 Whom have you reproached, and whom have you blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!22 من عيّرت وجدفت وعلى من عليت صوتا وقد رفعت الى العلاء عينيك على قدوس اسرائيل.
23 By the hand of your servants, you have reproach the Lord, and you have said: ‘By the multitude of my chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the summit of Lebanon. And I have cut down its sublime cedars, and its elect spruce trees. And I have entered even to its limits. And its forest of Carmel,23 على يد رسلك عيّرت السيد وقلت بكثرة مركباتي قد صعدت الى علو الجبال الى عقاب لبنان واقطع ارزه الطويل وافضل سروه وادخل اقصى علوه وعر كرمله.
24 I have cut down. And I drank foreign waters, and I dried up all the enclosed waters with the steps of my feet.’24 انا قد حفرت وشربت مياها غريبة وانشف باسفل قدمي جميع خلجان مصر.
25 But have you not heard what I have done from the beginning? From the days of antiquity, I have formed it, and now I have brought it to be. And fortified cities of fighting men will become piles of ruins.25 ألم تسمع. منذ البعيد صنعته منذ الايام القديمة صوّرته. الآن اتيت به. فتكون لتخريب مدن محصّنة حتى تصير روابي خربة.
26 And whoever may settle in these, they have trembled, with a weak hand, and they have been confounded. They have become like the hay of the field, and like weeds sprouting on the rooftops, which dry up before they reached maturity.26 فسكانها قصار الايدي قد ارتاعوا وخجلوا. صاروا كعشب الحقل وكالنبات الاخضر كحشيش السطوح وكملفوح قبل نموّه.
27 Your habitation, and your exit, and your entrance, and your way, I knew beforehand, along with your fury against me.27 ولكني عالم بجلوسك وخروجك ودخولك وهيجانك عليّ.
28 You have been maddened against me, and your arrogance has ascended to my ears. And so, I will place a ring in your nose, and a bit between your lips. And I will lead you back along the way by which you came.28 لان هيجانك عليّ وعجرفتك قد صعدا الى اذنيّ اضع خزامتي في انفك ولجامي في شفتيك واردك في الطريق الذي جئت فيه
29 But as for you, Hezekiah, this shall be a sign: Eat this year whatever you will find, and in the second year, whatever may spring up of itself. But in the third year, sow and reap; plant vineyards, and eat from their fruit.29 وهذه لك علامة. تأكلون هذه السنة زرّيعا وفي السنة الثانية خلفة واما السنة الثالثة ففيها تزرعون وتحصدون وتغرسون كروما وتأكلون اثمارها.
30 And whatever will have been left behind, from the house of Judah, shall send a root downward, and shall bear fruit upward.30 ويعود الناجون من بيت يهوذا الباقون يتأصلون الى اسفل ويصنعون ثمرا الى ما فوق.
31 Indeed, a remnant shall go forth from Jerusalem, and what may be saved shall go forth from mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall accomplish this.31 لانه من اورشليم تخرج البقية والناجون من جبل صهيون. غيرة رب الجنود تصنع هذا
32 For this reason, thus says the Lord about the king of the Assyrians: He shall not enter into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor overtake it with the shield, nor encircle it with fortifications.32 لذلك هكذا قال الرب عن ملك اشور. لا يدخل هذه المدينة ولا يرمي هناك سهما ولا يتقدم عليها بترس ولا يقيم عليها مترسة.
33 By the way that he came, so shall he return. And he shall not enter this city, says the Lord.33 في الطريق الذي جاء فيه يرجع والى هذه المدينة لا يدخل يقول الرب.
34 And I will protect this city, and I will save it for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.”34 وأحامي عن هذه المدينة لاخلّصها من اجل نفسي ومن اجل داود عبدي
35 And so it happened that, in the same night, an Angel of the Lord went and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when he had risen up, at first light, he saw all the bodies of the dead. And withdrawing, he went away.35 وكان في تلك الليلة ان ملاك الرب خرج وضرب من جيش اشور مئة الف وخمسة وثمانين الفا. ولما بكروا صباحا اذا هم جميعا جثث ميتة.
36 And Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, returned and dwelled in Nineveh.36 فانصرف سنحاريب ملك اشور وذهب راجعا واقام في نينوى.
37 And while he was worshipping in the temple of his god, Nisroch, his sons, Adram-melech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of the Armenians. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.37 وفيما هو ساجد في بيت نسروخ الهه ضربه ادرملّك وشرآصر ابناه بالسيف ونجوا الى ارض اراراط وملك آسرحدون ابنه عوضا عنه
