< 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 Hezekiah was sick to the point of dying. So Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came to him, and said to him, “Yahweh says, 'Set your house in order; for you will die, not live.'”
فَوَجَّهَ حَزَقِيَّا وَجْهَهُ إِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ وَصَلَّى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ ٢ 2
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh.
وَقَالَ: «آهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱذْكُرْ كَيْفَ سِرْتُ أَمَامَكَ بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ وَبِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ وَفَعَلْتُ ٱلْحَسَنَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». وَبَكَى حَزَقِيَّا بُكَاءً عَظِيمًا. ٣ 3
He said, “Please, Yahweh, call to mind how I have faithfully walked before you with my whole heart, and how I have done what was good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept loudly.
فَصَارَ قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِشَعْيَاءَ قَائِلًا: ٤ 4
Then the word of Yahweh came to Isaiah, 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 Hezekiah, the leader of my people, 'This is what Yahweh, the God of David your ancestor, says: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. See, I am about to add fifteen years to your life.
وَمِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ أُنْقِذُكَ وَهَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. وَأُحَامِي عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. ٦ 6
Then I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
وَهَذِهِ لَكَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَفْعَلُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ: ٧ 7
This will be the sign to you from Yahweh, that I will do what I have promised.
هَأَنَذَا أُرَجِّعُ ظِلَّ ٱلدَّرَجَاتِ ٱلَّذِي نَزَلَ فِي دَرَجَاتِ آحَازَ بِٱلشَّمْسِ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ». فَرَجَعَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ عَشَرَ دَرَجَاتٍ فِي ٱلدَّرَجَاتِ ٱلَّتِي نَزَلَتْهَا. ٨ 8
Look, I will cause the shadow on the stairs of Ahaz to go back ten steps.'” So the shadow went back ten steps of the stairs on which it had advanced.
كِتَابَةٌ لِحَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا إِذْ مَرِضَ وَشُفِيَ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ: ٩ 9
This was the written prayer of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and then recovered:
أَنَا قُلْتُ: «فِي عِزِّ أَيَّامِي أَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَبْوَابِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. قَدْ أُعْدِمْتُ بَقِيَّةَ سِنِيَّ. (Sheol h7585) ١٠ 10
“I said that halfway through my life I will go through the gates of Sheol; I am sent there for the rest of my years. (Sheol h7585)
قُلْتُ: لَا أَرَى ٱلرَّبَّ. ٱلرَّبَّ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. لَا أَنْظُرُ إِنْسَانًا بَعْدُ مَعَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْفَانِيَةِ. ١١ 11
I said that I will no longer see Yahweh, Yahweh in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind or the inhabitants of the world.
مَسْكِنِي قَدِ ٱنْقَلَعَ وَٱنْتَقَلَ عَنِّي كَخَيْمَةِ ٱلرَّاعِي. لَفَفْتُ كَٱلْحَائِكِ حَيَاتِي. مِنَ ٱلنَّوْلِ يَقْطَعُنِي. ٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱللَّيْلَ تُفْنِينِي. ١٢ 12
My life is removed and carried away from me like a shepherd's tent; I have rolled up my life like a weaver; you are cutting me off from the loom; between day and night you are ending my life.
صَرَخْتُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ. كَٱلْأَسَدِ هَكَذَا يُهَشِّمُ جَمِيعَ عِظَامِي. ٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلَّلَيْلَ تُفْنِينِي. ١٣ 13
I cried out until the morning; like a lion he breaks all my bones. Between day and night you are ending my life.
كَسُنُونةٍ مُزَقْزِقةٍ هَكَذَا أَصِيحُ. أَهْدِرُ كَحَمَامَةٍ. قَدْ ضَعُفَتْ عَيْنَايَ نَاظِرَةً إِلَى ٱلعَلَاءِ. يَارَبُّ، قَدْ تَضَايَقْتُ. كُنْ لِي ضَامِنًا. ١٤ 14
Like a swallow I chirp; I coo like a dove; my eyes grow tired with looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed; help me.
بِمَاذَا أَتَكَلَّمُ، فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي وَهُوَ قَدْ فَعَلَ. أَتَمَشَّى مُتَمَهِّلًا كُلَّ سِنِيَّ مِن أَجْلِ مَرَارَةِ نَفْسِي. ١٥ 15
What shall I say? He has both spoken to me, and has done it; I will walk slowly all my years because I am overcome with grief.
أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ، بِهَذِهِ يَحْيَوْنَ، وَبِهَا كُلُّ حَيَاةِ رُوحِي فَتَشْفِينِي وَتُحْيِينِي. ١٦ 16
Lord, the sufferings you send are good for me; may my life be given back to me; you have restored my life and health.
هُوَذَا لِلسَّلَامَةِ قَدْ تَحَوَّلَتْ لِيَ ٱلْمَرَارَةُ، وَأَنْتَ تَعَلَّقْتَ بِنَفْسِي مِنْ وَهْدَةِ ٱلْهَلَاكِ، فَإِنَّكَ طَرَحْتَ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِكَ كُلَّ خَطَايَايَ. ١٧ 17
It was for my benefit that I experienced such grief. You have rescued me from the pit of destruction; for you have thrown all my sins behind your back.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْهَاوِيَةَ لَا تَحْمَدُكَ. ٱلْمَوْتُ لَا يُسَبِّحُكَ. لَا يَرْجُو ٱلْهَابِطُونَ إِلَى ٱلْجُبِّ أَمَانَتَكَ. (Sheol h7585) ١٨ 18
For Sheol does not thank you; death does not praise you; those who go down into the pit do not hope in your trustworthiness. (Sheol h7585)
ٱلْحَيُّ ٱلْحَيُّ هُوَ يَحْمَدُكَ كَمَا أَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ. ٱلْأَبُ يُعَرِّفُ ٱلْبَنِينَ حَقَّكَ. ١٩ 19
The living person, the living person, he is the one who gives you thanks, as I do this day; a father makes known to children your trustworthiness.
ٱلرَّبُّ لِخَلَاصِي. فَنَعْزِفُ بِأَوْتَارِنَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِنَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». ٢٠ 20
Yahweh is about to save me, and we will celebrate with music all the days of our lives in the house of Yahweh.”
وَكَانَ إِشَعْيَاءُ قَدْ قَالَ: «لِيَأْخُذُوا قُرْصَ تِينٍ وَيَضْمُدُوهُ عَلَى ٱلدَّبْلِ فَيَبْرَأَ». ٢١ 21
Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a lump of figs and put it on the boil, and he will recover.”
وَحَزَقِيَّا قَالَ: «مَا هِيَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ أَنِّي أَصْعَدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟». ٢٢ 22
Hezekiah also had said, “What will be the sign that I should go up to the house of Yahweh?”
