22. 先知希亚(以赛亚)
22. Prophet Shia (isaiah)
以赛亚与希西家
Isaiah and Hezekiah
在大卫与撒迦利亚之间的先知中有以赛亚(愿主赐他平安),他是阿摩斯之子(阿米西亚)。
Among the prophets between David and Zakariah is Isaiah (pbuh), Ibn Amoz (Amisiah).
根据穆罕默德·伊本·伊斯哈格的说法,以赛亚(愿主赐其平安)曾出现在撒迦利亚(愿主赐其平安)和叶海亚(施洗者约翰)(愿主赐其平安)面前。他是预言耶稣(尔撒)(愿主赐其平安)和穆罕默德ﷺ降临的先知之一。在他那个时代的君王名叫希西家(Hazkia)。他聆听以赛亚的劝告,并顺从他关于为国家之利应当做与不应当做之事的建议。以色列人中的事务渐渐兴盛起来。这位君王因脚部感染而患病。他在病中之时,巴比伦的国王西拿基立(Sinharib)率领六万大军向耶路撒冷进发。
According to Muhammad Ibn Ishaaq, Isaiah (pbuh) appeared before Zakariah (pbuh) and Yahya (John the Baptist) (pbuh). He is among those who prophesied about Isa (Jesus) (pbuh) and Muhammad (pbuh). The king during his time was called Hezekiah (Hazkia). He listened and was obedient to Isaiah in what he advised him to do and prohibit for the good of the state. Affairs took momentum among the Israelites. The king became sick with an infected foot. While he was sick, King Sennacherib (Sinharib) of Babylon advanced towards Jerusalem with sixty thousand men.
安拉延长希西家的寿命
Allah Grants More Life to Hezekiah
人们极度恐惧。国王问以赛亚:"真主就西拿基立和他的军队向你启示了什么?"他回答说:"祂还没有向我启示任何事。"随后,希西家王接到启示,要他按自己的意愿指定继承人,因为他的死期已近。以赛亚把这话告诉他后,国王转向克俄白(礼拜时面向的方向);他礼拜,赞颂真主,祈求祂,并且哭泣。他怀着真诚的心、信靠与忍耐,向全能而伟大的真主哭泣祈求,说:"万主之主,万神之神!哦,仁慈而慈悯、不为睡眠和瞌睡所支配的主!求祢记念我的善行,以及我在以色列子孙中所行的公正审判;凡此一切都出自祢,祢比我更清楚。我公开的行为和我隐秘的事,都在祢那里。"真主应允了他的祈求,怜悯了他。祂向以赛亚启示,要他把喜讯告诉国王:祂怜悯他的哭泣,将延长他的寿命十五年,并使他脱离敌人西拿基立。以赛亚把这话告诉希西家后,他的疾病痊愈了。邪恶与忧伤离去,他俯身叩拜,说:"主啊,是祢赐予王权于祢所欲的人,剥夺祢所欲之人的王位,提升祢所欲之人,贬低祢所欲之人;祢是幽玄与显明的全知者。祢是最初的,也是最后的;是显现的,也是隐微的;祢施予慈恩,应允困苦者的祈祷。"他抬起头时,真主向以赛亚启示,命他让国王取无花果的汁液敷在他的疮上,他便会痊愈康复。他照做了,于是便痊愈了。
The people were greatly terrified. The King asked Isaiah: "What did Allah reveal to you regarding Sennacherib and his army?" He replied: "He has not yet revealed anything to me." Then the revelation came down for King Hezekiah to appoint a successor, as he wished, because his end was at hand. When Isaiah told him this, the king turned to the qibla (the direction faced in prayer); he prayed, glorified Allah, invoked Him, and wept. Weeping and invoking Allah the All-Powerful and majestic with a sincere heart, trust and patience, he said: "O Lord of lords, and God of gods! O, Benevolent and Merciful One Whom neither sleep nor nodding can overpower, remember me for my deeds and my just judgment over the children of Israel; and all that was from You, and You know it better than I do, my open acts and my secrets are with You." Allah answered his prayers had compassion on him. He revealed to Isaiah to tell him the glad tidings that He had compassion for his weeping and would extend his life for a further fifteen years and save him from the enemy, Sennacherib. When Isaiah told this to Hezekiah, his disease was healed. Evil and sadness departed, and he fell prostrate, saying: "O Lord, it is You Who grants kingship to whomsoever You wish and dethrones whomsoever You wish and elevates whomsoever You wish and degrades whomsoever You wish, Knower of the unseen and the evident. And lo! You are the First and the Last; the Manifest and the Perceived; You grant mercy and answer the prayers of the troubled ones." When he raised his head, Allah revealed to Isaiah to command the king to extract the water of the fig and apply it to his sore, and he would be whole and cured. He did so and was cured.
安拉消灭了希西家的敌人
Allah Destroys Hezekiah's Enemies
然后,安拉降下死亡,落在西拿基立的军队身上。第二天早上,他们全都成了尸体,只有西拿基立和他的五名同伴幸免,其中包括尼布甲尼撒(Bukhtanasar)。以色列的国王立即派人把他们召来,给他们戴上枷锁,在国内展示了七十天,以羞辱和侮辱他们。每天,每人只被给予一块大麦面包;七十天后,他把他们关进了监狱。
Then Allah sent death upon the army of Sennacherib. In the morning they were all corpses, except Sennacherib and five of his companions, among them Nebuchadnezzar (Bukhtanasar). The king of Israel immediately sent for them, put them in shackles and displayed them in the land for seventy days to spite and insult them. Every day each of them was fed a loaf of barley bread; after seventy days he confined them in prison.
于是,真主启示以赛亚,让国王把他们送回本国,以便他们警告自己的同胞,告诉他们将会发生什么。他们回到本国后,西拿基立召集了他的人民,把所发生的事告诉了他们。祭司和术士对他说:"我们曾告诉过你关于他们的主和他们的先知的事,但你没有听从我们。那是一个与他们的神同在、无人能够战胜的民族。"于是,西拿基立畏惧真主。此后七年,他便死了。
Allah then revealed to Isaiah that the king should send them back to their country so that they might warn their people what would happen to them. When they returned, Sennacherib gathered his people and told them what had happened to them. The priests and magicians said to him: "We told you about their Lord and their prophets, but you did not listen to us. It is a nation which, with their God, nobody can overcome." So, Sennacherib was afraid of Allah. He died seven years later.
希西家去世之后的以色列
Israel After Hezekiah's Death
伊本·易思哈格还记载,以色列王希西家去世后,以色列人的状况每况愈下,政局混乱,他们的恶行也日益增多。以赛亚向他们宣讲安拉启示给他的内容,引导他们走向正道,并警告他们安拉的严厉惩罚。他的宣教使他成为他们的敌人,他们决定杀害他,于是他从他们那里逃走了。
Ibn Ishaaq also reported that when King Hezekiah of Israel died, the Israelites' condition deteriorated; there was political confusion, and their wickedness increased. Isaiah preached to them what Allah revealed to him, directing them to righteousness and warning them of Allah's severe punishment. His preaching made him their enemy and they decided to kill him, so he escaped from them.
以赛亚之死
Isaiah's Death
伊本·易司哈格还记载了一则以色列人的插入性说法:以赛亚经过一棵树时,树忽然裂开,他走了进去;但撒旦看见了他,抓住他长袍的一根线,使其露在外面。人们看到后,拿来一把锯子,把树连同他一起锯开了。
Ibn Ishaaq also reported an Israelite interpolation which said that when Isaiah was passing by a tree, it opened, and he entered therein; but Satan saw him and held onto the loop of his garment so that it stuck out. When they saw it, they brought a saw and sawed the tree, and him with it.
Indeed, from Allah we come and to Him we return. 安拉的确是我们所从来的,我们也必定归于祂。
Indeed, from Allah we come and to him we return.
