1 وَبَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ وَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَمَانَةِ، أَتَى سِنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَدَخَلَ يَهُوذَا وَنَزَلَ عَلَى ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلْحَصِينَةِ وَطَمِعَ بِإِخْضَاعِهَا لِنَفْسِهِ.
1 After these things and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, entered into Judah, encamped against the fortified cities, and intended to win them for himself.
2 وَلَمَّا رَأَى حَزَقِيَّا أَنَّ سِنْحَارِيبَ قَدْ أَتَى وَوَجْهُهُ عَلَى مُحَارَبَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ،
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he was planning to fight against Jerusalem,
3 تَشَاوَرَ هُوَ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُ وَجَبَابِرَتُهُ عَلَى طَمِّ مِيَاهِ ٱلْعُيُونِ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فَسَاعَدُوهُ.
3 he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the springs which were outside of the city, and they helped him.
4 فَتَجَمَّعَ شَعْبٌ كَثِيرٌ وَطَمُّوا جَمِيعَ ٱلْيَنَابِيعِ وَٱلنَّهْرَ ٱلْجَارِيَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا يَأْتِي مُلُوكُ أَشُّورَ وَيَجِدُونَ مِيَاهًا غَزِيرَةً؟»
4 Then many people gathered together and they stopped all the springs and the brook that flowed through the middle of the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find abundant water?”
5 وَتَشَدَّدَ وَبَنَى كُلَّ ٱلسُّورِ ٱلْمُنْهَدِمِ وَأَعْلَاهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبْرَاجِ، وَسُورًا آخَرَ خَارِجًا، وَحَصَّنَ ٱلْقَلْعَةَ، مَدِينَةَ دَاوُدَ، وَعَمِلَ سِلَاحًا بِكِثْرَةٍ وَأَتْرَاسًا.
5 He took courage, built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, with the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in David’s city, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
6 وَجَعَلَ رُؤَسَاءَ قِتَالٍ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَجَمَعَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى سَاحَةِ بَابِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَطَيَّبَ قُلُوبَهُمْ قَائِلًا:
6 He set captains of war over the people, gathered them together to him in the wide place at the gate of the city, and spoke encouragingly to them, saying,
7 «تَشَدَّدُوا وَتَشَجَّعُوا. لَا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَرْتَاعُوا مِنْ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ، لِأَنَّ مَعَنَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا مَعَهُ.
7 “Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or dismayed because of the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater one with us than with him.
8 مَعَهُ ذِرَاعُ بَشَرٍ، وَمَعَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا لِيُسَاعِدَنَا وَيُحَارِبَ حُرُوبَنَا». فَٱسْتَنَدَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى كَلَامِ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.
8 An arm of flesh is with him, but Yahweh our God is with us to help us and to fight our battles.” The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9 بَعْدَ هَذَا أَرْسَلَ سِنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ عَبِيدَهُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَهُوَ عَلَى لَخِيشَ وَكُلُّ سَلْطَنَتِهِ مَعَهُ، إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَإِلَى كُلِّ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ يَقُولُونَ:
9 After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was attacking Lachish, and all his forces were with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,
10 «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ سِنْحَارِيبُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ: عَلَى مَاذَا تَتَّكِلُونَ وَتُقِيمُونَ فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ؟
10 Sennacherib king of Assyria says, “In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?
11 أَلَيْسَ حَزَقِيَّا يُغْوِيكُمْ لِيَدْفَعَكُمْ لِلْمَوْتِ بِٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْعَطَشِ، قَائِلًا: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا يُنْقِذُنَا مِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ؟
11 Doesn’t Hezekiah persuade you to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, ‘Yahweh our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria’?
12 أَلَيْسَ حَزَقِيَّا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَزَالَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِ وَمَذَابِحَهُ، وَكَلَّمَ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلًا: أَمَامَ مَذْبَحٍ وَاحِدٍ تَسْجُدُونَ، وَعَلَيْهِ تُوقِدُونَ؟
12 Hasn’t the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You shall worship before one altar, and you shall burn incense on it’?
13 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ أَنَا وَآبَائِي بِجَمِيعِ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي؟ فَهَلْ قَدِرَتْ آلِهَةُ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي أَنْ تُنْقِذَ أَرْضَهَا مِنْ يَدِي؟
13 Don’t you know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their land out of my hand?
14 مَنْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ آلِهَةِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَرَّمَهُمْ آبَائِي، ٱسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يُنْقِذَ شَعْبَهُ مِنْ يَدِي حَتَّى يَسْتَطِيعَ إِلَهُكُمْ أَنْ يُنْقِذَكُمْ مِنْ يَدِي؟
14 Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
15 وَٱلْآنَ لَا يَخْدَعَنَّكُمْ حَزَقِيَّا، وَلَا يُغْوِيَنَّكُمْ هَكَذَا وَلَا تُصَدِّقُوهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ إِلَهُ أُمَّةٍ أَوْ مَمْلَكَةٍ أَنْ يُنْقِذَ شَعْبَهُ مِنْ يَدِي وَيَدِ آبَائِي، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَا يُنْقِذُكُمْ مِنْ يَدِي؟».
15 Now therefore don’t let Hezekiah deceive you nor persuade you in this way. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand?”
16 وَتَكَلَّمَ عَبِيدُهُ أَكْثَرَ ضِدَّ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ وَضِدَّ حَزَقِيَّا عَبْدِهِ.
16 His servants spoke yet more against Yahweh God and against his servant Hezekiah.
17 وَكَتَبَ رَسَائِلَ لِتَعْيِيرِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلِلتَّكَلُّمِ ضِدَّهُ قَائِلًا: «كَمَا أَنَّ آلِهَةَ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي لَمْ تُنْقِذْ شُعُوبَهَا مِنْ يَدِي، كَذَلِكَ لَا يُنْقِذُ إِلَهُ حَزَقِيَّا شَعْبَهُ مِنْ يَدِي».
17 He also wrote letters insulting Yahweh, the God of Israel, and speaking against him, saying, “As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand.”
18 وَصَرَخُوا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ بِٱلْيَهُودِيِّ إِلَى شَعْبِ أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ لِتَخْوِيفِهِمْ وَتَرْوِيعِهِمْ لِكَيْ يَأْخُذُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ.
18 They called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them, that they might take the city.
19 وَتَكَلَّمُوا عَلَى إِلَهِ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَمَا عَلَى آلِهَةِ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ صَنْعَةِ أَيْدِي ٱلنَّاسِ.
19 They spoke of the God of Jerusalem as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men’s hands.
20 فَصَلَّى حَزَقِيَّا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَإِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ لِذَلِكَ وَصَرَخَا إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ،
20 Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.
21 فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَلَاكًا فَأَبَادَ كُلَّ جَبَّارِ بَأْسٍ وَرَئِيسٍ وَقَائِدٍ فِي مَحَلَّةِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ. فَرَجَعَ بِخِزْيِ ٱلْوَجْهِ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ. وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ بَيْتَ إِلَهِهِ قَتَلَهُ هُنَاكَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ أَحْشَائِهِ.
21 Yahweh sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, the leaders, and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he had come into the house of his god, those who came out of his own body killed him there with the sword.
22 وَخَلَّصَ ٱلرَّبُّ حَزَقِيَّا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ سِنْحَارِيبَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ وَمِنْ يَدِ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَحَمَاهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ.
22 Thus Yahweh saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.
23 وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ يَأْتُونَ بِتَقْدِمَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَتُحَفٍ لِحَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَٱعْتُبِرَ فِي أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ.
23 Many brought gifts to Yahweh to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from then on.
24 فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ مَرِضَ حَزَقِيَّا إِلَى حَدِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ وَصَلَّى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَكَلَّمَهُ وَأَعْطَاهُ عَلَامَةً.
24 In those days Hezekiah was terminally ill, and he prayed to Yahweh; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign.
25 وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَرُدَّ حَزَقِيَّا حَسْبَمَا أُنْعِمَ عَلَيْهِ لِأَنَّ قَلْبَهُ ٱرْتَفَعَ، فَكَانَ غَضَبٌ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ.
25 But Hezekiah didn’t reciprocate appropriate to the benefit done for him, because his heart was lifted up. Therefore there was wrath on him, Judah, and Jerusalem.
26 ثُمَّ تَوَاضَعَ حَزَقِيَّا بِسَبَبِ ٱرْتِفَاعِ قَلْبِهِ هُوَ وَسُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَلَمْ يَأْتِ عَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَيَّامِ حَزَقِيَّا.
26 However, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that Yahweh’s wrath didn’t come on them in the days of Hezekiah.
27 وَكَانَ لِحَزَقِيَّا غِنًى وَكَرَامَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدًّا، وَعَمِلَ لِنَفْسِهِ خَزَائِنَ لِلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْحِجَارَةِ ٱلْكَرِيمَةِ وَٱلْأَطْيَابِ وَٱلْأَتْرَاسِ وَكُلِّ آنِيَةٍ ثَمِينَةٍ،
27 Hezekiah had exceedingly great riches and honor. He provided himself with treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of valuable vessels;
28 وَمَخَازِنَ لِغَلَّةِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ وَٱلْمِسْطَارِ وَٱلزَّيْتِ، وَأَوَارِيَ لِكُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَلِلْقُطْعَانِ أَوَارِيَ.
28 also storehouses for the increase of grain, new wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds.
29 وَعَمِلَ لِنَفْسِهِ أَبْرَاجًا وَمَوَاشِيَ غَنَمٍ وَبَقَرٍ بِكَثْرَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَعْطَاهُ أَمْوَالًا كَثِيرَةً جِدًّا.
29 Moreover he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him abundant possessions.
30 وَحَزَقِيَّا هَذَا سَدَّ مَخْرَجَ مِيَاهِ جَيْحُونَ ٱلْأَعْلَى، وَأَجْرَاهَا تَحْتَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، إِلَى ٱلْجِهَةِ ٱلْغَرْبِيَّةِ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ. وَأَفْلَحَ حَزَقِيَّا فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِهِ.
30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of David’s city. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
31 وَهَكَذَا فِي أَمْرِ تَرَاجِمِ رُؤَسَاءِ بَابِلَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ لِيَسْأَلُوا عَنِ ٱلْأُعْجُوبَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، تَرَكَهُ ٱللهُ لِيُجَرِّبَهُ لِيَعْلَمَ كُلَّ مَا فِي قَلْبِهِ.
31 However, concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him to test him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
32 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ حَزَقِيَّا وَمَرَاحِمُهُ، هَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي رُؤْيَا إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ فِي سِفْرِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ.
32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
33 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ حَزَقِيَّا مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي عَقَبَةِ قُبُورِ بَنِي دَاوُدَ، وَعَمِلَ لَهُ إِكْرَامًا عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ كُلُّ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَمَلَكَ مَنَسَّى ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
33 Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent to the tombs of the sons of David. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
