< إِشَعْيَاءَ 38 >

فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ مَرِضَ حَزَقِيَّا لِلْمَوْتِ، فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَوْصِ بَيْتَكَ لِأَنَّكَ تَمُوتُ وَلَا تَعِيشُ». ١ 1
In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and Isaias the son of Amos the prophet came unto him, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Take order with thy house, for thou shalt die, and not live.
فَوَجَّهَ حَزَقِيَّا وَجْهَهُ إِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ وَصَلَّى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ ٢ 2
And Ezechias turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord,
وَقَالَ: «آهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱذْكُرْ كَيْفَ سِرْتُ أَمَامَكَ بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ وَبِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ وَفَعَلْتُ ٱلْحَسَنَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». وَبَكَى حَزَقِيَّا بُكَاءً عَظِيمًا. ٣ 3
And said: I beseech thee, O Lord, remember how I have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Ezechias wept with great weeping.
فَصَارَ قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِشَعْيَاءَ قَائِلًا: ٤ 4
And the word of the Lord came to Isaias, saying:
«ٱذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِحَزَقِيَّا: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ دَاوُدَ أَبِيكَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَلَاتَكَ. قَدْ رَأَيْتُ دُمُوعَكَ. هَأَنَذَا أُضِيفُ إِلَى أَيَّامِكَ خَمْسَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً. ٥ 5
Go and say to Ezechias: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: behold I will add to thy days fifteen years:
وَمِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ أُنْقِذُكَ وَهَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. وَأُحَامِي عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. ٦ 6
And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.
وَهَذِهِ لَكَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَفْعَلُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ: ٧ 7
And this shall be a sign to thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word which he hath spoken:
هَأَنَذَا أُرَجِّعُ ظِلَّ ٱلدَّرَجَاتِ ٱلَّذِي نَزَلَ فِي دَرَجَاتِ آحَازَ بِٱلشَّمْسِ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ». فَرَجَعَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ فِي ٱلدَّرَجَاتِ ٱلَّتِي نَزَلَتْهَا. ٨ 8
Behold I will bring again the shadow of the lines, by which it is now gone down in the sun dial of Achaz with the sun, ten lines backward. And the sun returned ten lines by the degrees by which it was gone down.
كِتَابَةٌ لِحَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا إِذْ مَرِضَ وَشُفِيَ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ: ٩ 9
The writing of Ezechias king of Juda, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness.
أَنَا قُلْتُ: «فِي عِزِّ أَيَّامِي أَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَبْوَابِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. قَدْ أُعْدِمْتُ بَقِيَّةَ سِنِيَّ. (Sheol h7585) ١٠ 10
I said: In the midst of my days I shall go to the gates of hell: I sought for the residue of my years. (Sheol h7585)
قُلْتُ: لَا أَرَى ٱلرَّبَّ. ٱلرَّبَّ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. لَا أَنْظُرُ إِنْسَانًا بَعْدُ مَعَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْفَانِيَةِ. ١١ 11
I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more, nor the inhabitant of rest.
مَسْكِنِي قَدِ ٱنْقَلَعَ وَٱنْتَقَلَ عَنِّي كَخَيْمَةِ ٱلرَّاعِي. لَفَفْتُ كَٱلْحَائِكِ حَيَاتِي. مِنَ ٱلنَّوْلِ يَقْطَعُنِي. ٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱللَّيْلَ تُفْنِينِي. ١٢ 12
My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, as a shepherd’s tent. My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he out me off: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.
صَرَخْتُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ. كَٱلْأَسَدِ هَكَذَا يُهَشِّمُ جَمِيعَ عِظَامِي. ٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلَّلَيْلَ تُفْنِينِي. ١٣ 13
I hoped till morning, as a lion so hath he broken all my bones: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.
كَسُنُونةٍ مُزَقْزِقةٍ هَكَذَا أَصِيحُ. أَهْدِرُ كَحَمَامَةٍ. قَدْ ضَعُفَتْ عَيْنَايَ نَاظِرَةً إِلَى ٱلعَلَاءِ. يَارَبُّ، قَدْ تَضَايَقْتُ. كُنْ لِي ضَامِنًا. ١٤ 14
I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove: my eyes are weakened looking upward: Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me.
بِمَاذَا أَتَكَلَّمُ، فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي وَهُوَ قَدْ فَعَلَ. أَتَمَشَّى مُتَمَهِّلًا كُلَّ سِنِيَّ مِن أَجْلِ مَرَارَةِ نَفْسِي. ١٥ 15
What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it? I will recount to thee all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ، بِهَذِهِ يَحْيَوْنَ، وَبِهَا كُلُّ حَيَاةِ رُوحِي فَتَشْفِينِي وَتُحْيِينِي. ١٦ 16
O Lord, if man’s life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live.
هُوَذَا لِلسَّلَامَةِ قَدْ تَحَوَّلَتْ لِيَ ٱلْمَرَارَةُ، وَأَنْتَ تَعَلَّقْتَ بِنَفْسِي مِنْ وَهْدَةِ ٱلْهَلَاكِ، فَإِنَّكَ طَرَحْتَ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِكَ كُلَّ خَطَايَايَ. ١٧ 17
Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter: but thou best delivered my soul that it should not perish, thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْهَاوِيَةَ لَا تَحْمَدُكَ. ٱلْمَوْتُ لَا يُسَبِّحُكَ. لَا يَرْجُو ٱلْهَابِطُونَ إِلَى ٱلْجُبِّ أَمَانَتَكَ. (Sheol h7585) ١٨ 18
For hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy truth. (Sheol h7585)
ٱلْحَيُّ ٱلْحَيُّ هُوَ يَحْمَدُكَ كَمَا أَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ. ٱلْأَبُ يُعَرِّفُ ٱلْبَنِينَ حَقَّكَ. ١٩ 19
The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: the father shall make thy truth known to the children.
ٱلرَّبُّ لِخَلَاصِي. فَنَعْزِفُ بِأَوْتَارِنَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِنَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». ٢٠ 20
O Lord, save me, and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.
وَكَانَ إِشَعْيَاءُ قَدْ قَالَ: «لِيَأْخُذُوا قُرْصَ تِينٍ وَيَضْمُدُوهُ عَلَى ٱلدَّبْلِ فَيَبْرَأَ». ٢١ 21
Now Isaias had ordered that they should take a lump of figs, and lay it as it plaster upon the wound, and that he should be healed.
وَحَزَقِيَّا قَالَ: «مَا هِيَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ أَنِّي أَصْعَدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟». ٢٢ 22
And Ezechias bed said: What shall be the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?
