2 Kronická 32
1 Po těch věcech a stálém nařízení jejich, přitáh Senacherib král Assyrský, vtrhl do Judstva, a položil se proti městům hrazeným, a uložil jich zdobývati sobě.
After King Hezekiah had obeyed Yahweh’s instructions and had done all those things, King Sennacherib of Assyria came [with his army] and invaded Judah. He commanded his soldiers to surround the cities that had walls around them, thinking that they would [break through those walls and] conquer those cities.
2 Vida pak Ezechiáš, že přitáhl Senacherib, a že tvář jeho obrácena jest k boji proti Jeruzalému,
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come [with his army] and that they intended to attack Jerusalem,
3 Uradil se s knížaty a rytíři svými, aby zasypali vody studnic, kteréž byly vně za městem. I pomáhali jemu.
he consulted with his officials and army leaders. They said among themselves, “Why should we allow the king of Assyria [and his army] to come and find plenty of water to drink?” So they decided to stop the water from flowing outside the city. So a large group of men gathered together and blocked all the springs and the stream that flowed through that area.
4 Nebo shromáždilo se lidu množství, a zasypali všecky studnice i potok rozvodňující se u prostřed země, řkouce: Proč přijdouce králové Assyrští, mají najíti vody tak mnoho?
5 A posiliv se, vystavěl všecku zed zbořenou, a zopravoval věže, a vně zed druhou. Upevnil i Mello města Davidova, k tomu také nadělal braně velmi mnoho i pavéz.
Then they worked hard to repair all the sections of the city wall that had been broken, and they built watchtowers on the walls. They built another wall outside/around the wall that was already outside the city, and they strengthened the defenses on the sloping terraces [on the east side of the area called ‘The City of David’]. They also made a large number of weapons and shields.
6 Zřídil též hejtmany válečné nad lidem, a shromáždil je k sobě do ulice u brány městské, a mluvil jim přívětivě, řka:
Hezekiah appointed army commanders, and he gathered them in front of him in the square at one of the city gates, and he encouraged them by saying this to them:
7 Posilňte se a zmužile sobě počínejte, nebojte se, ani strachujte tváři krále Assyrského, ani všeho množství, kteréž jest s ním; nebo větší jest s námi, než s ním.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged on account of the king of Assyria and the huge army that is with him, because [Yahweh] is with us, and his [power] is greater than their [power].
8 S nímť jest rámě člověka, s námi pak jest Hospodin Bůh náš, ku pomoci naší a k bojování za nás. I zpolehl lid na slova Ezechiáše krále Judského.
They have to rely on the power of humans, but we have Yahweh our God to help us and to fight battles for us.” So the people became more confident because of what Hezekiah, the king of Judah, said.
9 Potom poslal Senacherib král Assyrský služebníky své do Jeruzaléma, (sám pak ležel u Lachis, a všecko království jeho bylo s ním), k Ezechiášovi králi Judskému, i ke všemu lidu Judskému, kterýž byl v Jeruzalémě, řka:
Later, when Sennacherib and all his soldiers were surrounding Lachish [city], he sent some officers to Jerusalem to give this message to King Hezekiah and to all the people of Judah who were there:
10 Takto praví Senacherib král Assyrský: V čem vy doufáte, že zůstáváte v ohradě v Jeruzalémě?
“[I am] Sennacherib, the [great] king of Assyria, [and] this is what I say: 'While you are staying in Jerusalem, my soldiers are surrounding the city. So why [RHQ] are you so confident?
11 Zdaliž Ezechiáš nenavodí vás, aby vás zmořil hladem a žízní, pravě: Hospodin Bůh náš vytrhne nás z ruky krále Assyrského?
Hezekiah says to you, “Yahweh our God will save us from [being defeated by the army of] the king of Assyria,” but he is misleading you. He wants you to die from having no food or water.
12 Zdaliž jest sám Ezechiáš nepobořil výsostí jeho a oltářů jeho, a přikázal Judovi a obyvatelům Jeruzalémským, řka: Před jedním oltářem klaněti se budete, a na něm kaditi.
Isn’t Hezekiah the one who told his men to get rid of your god Yahweh’s shrines and altars on the hilltops, saying to [you people of] Jerusalem and other places in Judah, “You must worship at only one altar and burn sacrifices on only that altar”?
13 Nevíte-liž, co jsem učinil já i otcové moji všechněm národům zemí? Zdaliž jak mohli bohové národů a zemí vytrhnouti země své z ruky mé?
'Do you people not know what I and my ancestors have done to all the people-groups in other countries? [We destroyed them all, and] none of the gods of those nations were ever able to prevent my [troops] from conquering them! So how can your god prevent my soldiers from conquering you?
14 Kdo byl mezi všemi bohy národů těch, kteréž jsou vyplénili otcové moji, kterýž by mohl vytrhnouti lid svůj z ruky mé? Aby pak mohl Bůh váš vytrhnouti vás z ruky mé?
15 Protož tedy nechť vás nesvodí Ezechiáš, ani vás namlouvá, aniž mu věřte. Kdyžtě nemohl žádný bůh všech národů a království vytrhnouti lidu svého z ruky mé, jako i z ruky otců mých, nadtoť ovšem bohové vaši nevytrhnou vás z ruky mé.
So do not allow Hezekiah to deceive you like this. Do not believe what he says, because no god of any nation or kingdom has ever been able to rescue his people from being conquered by my army and the armies of my ancestors. So certainly your god will not be able to rescue you from my power'.”
16 Přes to ještě mluvili služebníci jeho i proti Hospodinu Bohu, i proti Ezechiášovi služebníku jeho.
Sennacherib’s officers said more things to belittle Yahweh the God of the Israelis and Hezekiah, who served God [well].
17 Psal také listy, rouhaje se Hospodinu Bohu Izraelskému, a mluvě proti němu, řka: Jakož bohové národů zemských nevytrhli lidu svého z ruky mé, tak nevytrhne Bůh Ezechiášův lidu svého z ruky mé.
King Sennacherib wrote more letters insulting Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [belonged to/worshiped]. He said things like this: “The gods [worshiped by] the people-groups in other countries did not rescue their people from my power. Similarly, the god of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my power.”
18 Křičeli pak hlasem velikým Židovsky proti lidu Jeruzalémskému, kterýž byl na zdi, aby strach na ně pustili a předěsili je, aby tak vzali město.
Then King Sennachereb’s officers shouted in the Hebrew language to the people who were on the wall, in order to cause them to be terrified, thinking that as a result the army of Assyria could capture the city [without a battle].
19 A tak mluvili o Bohu Jeruzalémském, jako o jiných bozích národů země, dílu rukou lidských.
They belittled the God [worshiped by the people] of Jerusalem as they belittled the gods of the other people-groups of the world—saying that they were only [idols] made by humans.
20 Tedy modlil se Ezechiáš král, a Izaiáš prorok syn Amosův z příčiny té, a volali k nebi.
Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah cried out to God, praying about this.
21 I poslal Hospodin anděla, kterýž vyhladil každého udatného i vývodu i kníže v vojště krále Assyrského, tak že se s hanbou velikou navrátil do země své. A když všel do chrámu boha svého, ti, kteříž vyšli z života jeho, zamordovali ho tam mečem.
And [that night] Yahweh sent an angel who killed all the soldiers of Assyria and their leaders and their officers in the place where the king of Assyria and his army had set up their tents. So the king of Assyria left and returned to his own country, very disgraced. And one day when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons struck him with their swords and killed him.
22 A tak vysvobodil Hospodin Ezechiáše a obyvatele Jeruzalémské z ruky Senacheriba krále Assyrského, a z ruky všech, a provázel je všudy vůkol.
That is how Yahweh rescued Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from their other enemies. Yahweh took care of them (OR, gave them peace) everywhere in the country.
23 Tedy mnozí přinášeli oběti Hospodinu do Jeruzaléma, ano i dary drahé Ezechiášovi králi Judskému, tak že potom vznešen jest u všech národů.
Many people brought offerings for Yahweh to Jerusalem, and also brought valuable gifts for King Hezekiah. And from that time, Hezekiah was highly respected/honored by the people of all the other nations.
24 V těch dnech roznemohl se Ezechiáš až k smrti, i modlil se Hospodinu. Kterýž promluvil k němu, a ukázal mu zázrak.
About that time, Hezekiah became very ill. He was about to die. But he prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh answered his prayer. He performed a miracle [and healed Hezekiah].
25 Ale Ezechiáš nebyl vděčen dobrodiní sobě učiněného, nebo pozdvihlo se srdce jeho. Pročež povstala proti němu prchlivost, i proti Judovi a Jeruzalému.
But Hezekiah [SYN] was very proud, and he did not thank Yahweh for being kind to him. Therefore Yahweh was angry with him and [and punished him] and [the people of] Jerusalem and other places in Judah.
26 Ale když se pokořil Ezechiáš pro to pozdvižení srdce svého i s obyvateli Jeruzalémskými, nepřišla na ně prchlivost Hospodinova za dnů Ezechiášových.
Then Hezekiah said that he was sorry for being proud, and the people of Jerusalem also said that they were sorry [for their sins]. So Yahweh did not punish them during the remaining years that Hezekiah [was their king].
27 Měl pak Ezechiáš bohatství a slávu velmi velikou; nebo nashromáždil sobě pokladů stříbra a zlata i kamení drahého a vonných věcí, i pavéz i všelijakých klénotů.
Hezekiah became very rich and was greatly honored. His [workers] made storerooms for his silver and gold, and for his very valuable stones, and for spices and shields and other valuable things.
28 A měl špižírny pro úrody obilí, mstu, oleje, i stáje pro všeliká hovada a chlévy pro dobytek.
[His workers] also built buildings to store the grain and wine and [olive] oil [that people produced and brought to him]. They also made stalls for various kinds of cattle and pens for his flocks [of sheep and goats].
29 Města také zdělal sobě, a měl bravů a skotů množství; nebo Bůh dal jemu zboží náramně veliké.
They built towns and acquired for the king many flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle], because God had enabled him to become very rich.
30 Tentýž Ezechiáš zasypal tok vody Gihonu hořejší, a přímo vedl jej dolů k západní straně města Davidova, a šťastně se vedlo Ezechiášovi ve všech skutcích jeho.
Hezekiah was the one who told his workers to block the place where the water flows out of the Gihon Spring, and to build a tunnel through which the water flowed to the west side of the area called ‘The City of David’. He was able to do everything that he wanted to do.
31 Toliko při poselství knížat Babylonských poslaných k němu, aby se vyptali na zázrak, kterýž se byl stal v zemi, opustil ho Bůh, aby ho zkusil, aby známé bylo všecko, co bylo v srdci jeho.
But when messengers who were sent by the rulers of Babylon came and asked about the miracle that God had performed for him, God allowed Hezekiah to say what he himself wanted to say, in order to test [whether or not Hezekiah would admit that God had performed a miracle].
32 Jiné pak věci Ezechiášovy i pobožnost jeho zapsány jsou v proroctví Izaiáše proroka syna Amosova, a v knize o králích Judských a Izraelských.
A record of the other things that happened while Hezekiah was ruling, and the things that he did to please God, is on the scroll in which is written the vision that [Yahweh gave to] the prophet Isaiah. It is also written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
33 I usnul Ezechiáš s otci svými, a pochovali jej výše nad hroby potomků Davidových, a učinili jemu poctivost při smrti jeho všecken Juda i obyvatelé Jeruzalémští. A kraloval Manasses syn jeho místo něho.
When Hezekiah died, he was buried in the tombs where the most respected kings [of Judah] were buried. Everyone in Jerusalem and other places in Judah honored him. Then his son Manasseh became the king.
