2 Královská 19
1 To když uslyšel král Ezechiáš, roztrhl roucho své, a oděv se žíní, všel do domu Hospodinova.
When King Hezekiah heard what they reported, he tore his clothes and put on clothes made of rough cloth [because he was very distressed]. Then he went to the temple [to ask God what to do].
2 I poslal Eliakima správce domu, a Sobnu písaře, i starší z kněží, oblečené v žíně, k Izaiášovi proroku, synu Amosovu.
He summoned Eliakim and Shebna and the (older/most important) priests, who were also wearing clothes made of rough sackcloth, and told them to talk to me.
3 Kteříž řekli jemu: Toto praví Ezechiáš: Den úzkosti a útržek i rouhání jest den tento; přiblížilť se plod k vyjití, ale není síly při rodičce.
He said to them, “Tell this to Isaiah: ‘King Hezekiah says that we are having great distress/trouble now. [Other nations are causing] us to be insulted and disgraced. We are like [MET] a woman who is about to give birth to a child, but she does not have the strength that she needs to do it.
4 Ó by slyšel Hospodin Bůh tvůj všecka slova Rabsacova, jehož poslal král Assyrský pán jeho, aby utrhal Bohu živému, aby pomstil Hospodin Bůh tvůj těch slov, kteráž by slyšel. Protož pozdvihni modlitby své za tento ostatek, kterýž se nalézá.
Perhaps Yahweh your God has heard everything that the official from Assyria said. Perhaps he knows that his boss/master, the king of Assyria, sent him to insult the all-powerful God, and that Yahweh will rebuke/punish him for what he said.’ And he requests that you pray for the few of us who are still alive [here in Jerusalem].”
5 A tak přišli služebníci krále Ezechiáše k Izaiášovi.
When the messengers from Hezekiah came to Isaiah,
6 Jimž odpověděl Izaiáš: Toto povíte pánu svému: Takto praví Hospodin: Nestrachuj se slov těch, kteráž jsi slyšel, jimiž se mi rouhali služebníci krále Assyrského.
Isaiah said to them, “[Go back to] your boss/master [and] tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh says: Those messengers from the king of Assyria have said evil things about me. But you should not be disturbed because of what they said.
7 Aj, já pustím naň vítr, aby uslyše pověst, navrátil se do země své, a učiním to, že padne od meče v zemi své.
Listen to this: I will cause Sennacherib to hear a rumor that will worry him, [that a foreign army is about to attack his country]. So he will return to his own country, and there I will cause him to be assassinated by [men using] swords.’”
8 Rabsace pak navrátiv se, nalezl krále Assyrského, an dobývá Lebna; nebo uslyšel, (pročež odtrhl od Lachis),
The official from Assyria found out that the King of Assyria [and his army] had left Lachish [city], and that they were attacking Libnah, [which is a nearby city]. So the official went there [to report to him what had happened in Jerusalem].
9 Uslyšel, pravím, o Tirhákovi králi Mouřenínském, ano pravili: Aj, teď táhne, aby bojoval s tebou. I navrátil se, a však poslal jiné posly k Ezechiášovi s těmito slovy:
Soon after that, King Sennacherib received a report that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia was leading his army, and was coming to attack them. So before King Sennacherib left Libnah [to fight against the army from Ethiopia], he sent other messengers to King Hezekiah with a letter.
10 Takto povíte Ezechiášovi králi Judskému, řkouce: Nechť tebe nesvodí Bůh tvůj, v němž ty doufáš, říkaje: Nebudeť dán Jeruzalém v ruku krále Assyrského.
[In the letter] he wrote this to Hezekiah: “Do not allow your god on whom you are relying to deceive you by promising that [the city of] Jerusalem will not be captured by my army [MTY].
11 Aj, slyšels, co jsou činili králové Assyrští všechněm zemím, pohubivše je, a ty bys měl býti vysvobozen?
You have certainly heard what the armies of the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries. Our armies have completely destroyed them. So, (do you think that you will escape?/do not think that your god will save you!) [RHQ]
12 Zdaliž jsou je vysvobodili bohové těch národů, kteréž zahladili otcové moji, totiž Gozana, Charana, Resefa a syny Eden, kteříž byli v Telasar?
Did the gods of the nations that were about to be destroyed by the armies of the previous kings of Assyria rescue them? Did those gods rescue the people in the Gozan region and in Haran and Rezeph [cities in northern Syria] and the people of Eden who had been (deported/forced to go) to Tel-Assar [city]? None of the gods of those cities were able to rescue them.
13 Kde jest král Emat, a král Arfad, a král města Sefarvaim, Ana i Ava?
What happened to the kings of Hamath and Arpad and Sepharvaim and Ivvah [cities] [RHQ]? [Most of them are dead, and the other people were deported]!”
14 Protož vzav Ezechiáš list z ruky poslů, přečetl jej, a vstoupiv do domu Hospodinova, rozvinul jej Ezechiáš před Hospodinem.
Hezekiah took the letter that the messengers gave him, and he read it. Then he went up to the temple and spread out the letter in front of Yahweh.
15 A modlil se Ezechiáš před Hospodinem, řka: Hospodine Bože Izraelský, kterýž sedíš nad cherubíny, ty jsi sám Bůh všech království země, ty jsi učinil nebe i zemi.
Then Hezekiah prayed, “Yahweh, the God whom to whom we Israelis belong, you are seated on your throne above the [statues of] creatures with wings, [above the Sacred Chest]. Only you are truly God. You rule all the kingdoms on this earth. You are the one who created [everything on] the earth and [in] the sky.
16 Nakloniž, Hospodine, ucha svého a uslyš; otevři, Hospodine, oči své a pohleď; slyš slova Senacheribova, kterýž poslal k činění útržek Bohu živému.
So, Yahweh, please listen to what I am saying, and look [at what is happening]. And listen to what King Sennacherib has said to insult you, the all-powerful God.
17 Takť jest, Hospodine, žeť jsou zkazili králové Assyrští národy ty i země jejich.
“Yahweh, it is true that [the armies of] the kings of Assyria have completely destroyed many nations, and ruined their land.
18 A uvrhli bohy jejich do ohně. Nebo nebyli bohové, ale dílo rukou lidských, dřevo a kámen, protož zahladili je.
And they have thrown the idols of those nations into fires and burned them. But [that was not difficult to do, because] they were not gods. They were only statues made of wood and stone, idols that were shaped by humans, [and that is why they were destroyed easily].
19 A nyní, Hospodine Bože náš, vysvoboď nás, prosím, z ruky jeho, ať by poznala všecka království země, že jsi ty sám, Hospodine, Bohem.
So now, Yahweh our God, please rescue us from the power [MTY] [of the king of Assyria], in order that the people in all the kingdoms of the world will know that you, Yahweh, are the only one who is truly God.”
20 Tedy poslal Izaiáš syn Amosův k Ezechiášovi, řka: Toto praví Hospodin Bůh Izraelský: Zač jsi mi se modlil strany Senacheriba krále Assyrského, vyslyšel jsem tě.
Then Isaiah sent this message to Hezekiah: “This is what Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, says: 'I have heard what you prayed to me about Sennacherib, the king of Assyria.
21 Totoť jest slovo, kteréž mluvil Hospodin o něm: Pohrdá tebou, a posmívá se tobě, králi, panna dcera Sionská, potřásá za tebou hlavou dcera Jeruzalémská.
This is what I say to him: “The people of Jerusalem [MTY] despise you and make fun of you. They wag/shake their heads to mock you while you flee from here.
22 Kohož jsi zhaněl? A komus se rouhal? Proti komu jsi povýšil hlasu a pozdvihls vzhůru očí svých? Však proti svatému Izraelskému.
Who do you think that you are despising and ridiculing? Who do you think you were shouting at? Who do you think you were looking at very proudly/arrogantly? It was I, the holy God whom the Israelis worship.
23 Skrze posly své utrhal jsi Pánu, a řekl jsi: Ve množství vozů svých vytáhl jsem na hory vysoké, na stráně Libánské, a zpodtínám vysoké cedry jeho, i spanilé jedle jeho, a vejdu do nejdalších příbytků jeho, do lesů a výborných rolí jeho.
The messengers that you sent made fun of me. You said, 'With my many chariots I have gone to the highest mountains, even to the highest mountains in Lebanon. We have cut down its tallest cedar trees and its nicest pine/cyprus trees. We have been to the most distant/remote peaks and to its dense forests.
24 Já jsem vykopal a pil jsem vody cizí, a vysušil jsem nohama svýma všecky potoky podmaněných.
We have dug wells in other countries and drank water from them. And by marching through [MTY] the streams of Egypt, we dried them all up [HYP]!”’
25 Zdaliž jsi neslyšel, že již dávno jsem jej učinil, a ode dnů starých jej sformoval? Což tedy nyní přivedl bych jej k zkažení a v hromady rumu, jako jiná města hrazená?
[‘But I reply], “Have you never heard that long ago I determined [that those things would happen]? I planned it long ago, and now I have been causing it to happen. I planned that your army would have [the power to] capture many cities that were surrounded by high walls, and cause them to become piles of rubble.
26 Jejichž obyvatelé mdlí byli, předěšení a zahanbení, byvše jako bylina polní a zelina vzcházející, jako tráva na střechách, a jako osení rzí zkažené, prvé než by dorostlo obilí.
The people who lived in those cities have no power, and as a result they became dismayed and discouraged. They are as frail as plants and grass in the fields, as frail as grass that grows on the roofs of houses and is scorched by the hot east wind.
27 Sedání pak tvé, vycházení tvé i vcházení tvé znám, i vzteklost tvou proti mně.
“But I know [everything about you]. I know when you are in your house and when you go outside; I also know that you are (raging/speaking very angrily) against me.
28 Poněvadž jsi se rozzlobil proti mně, a tvé zpouzení přišlo v uši mé, protož vpustím udici svou v chřípě tvé, a udidla svá do úst tvých, a odvedu tě zase tou cestou, kterouž jsi přišel.
So, because you have raged against me, and because I have heard [MTY] you speak very proudly/arrogantly, [it will be as though] I will put a hook in your nose and an iron (bit/piece of metal) in your mouth [in order that I can lead you where I want you to go], and I will force you to return [to your own country] on the same road on which you came here, [without conquering Jerusalem].” '
29 Toto pak měj, Ezechiáši, za znamení: Že jíte roku prvního to, což se samo rodí, též druhého roku, což samo vzchází, třetího teprv roku sejte a žněte, a štěpujte vinice, a jezte ovoce z nich.
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “This is what will happen to prove [that I am telling the truth]: This year and next year you [and your people] will be able to harvest only (wild grain/grain that grows without having been planted). But the following year, you [Israelis] will be able to plant grain and harvest it, and to plant vineyards and eat the grapes that you harvest.
30 Ostatek zajisté domu Judova, kterýž pozůstal, vpustí zase kořeny své hluboce, a vydá užitek nahoru.
The people [MTY] in Judah who remain alive will prosper and have many children; they will be like plants whose roots go deep down into the ground and which produce much [MET].
31 Nebo z Jeruzaléma vyjdou ostatkové, a ti, kteříž jsou zachováni, z hory Siona. Horlivost Hospodina zástupů učiní to.
There will be many people in Jerusalem [DOU] who will survive, because Yahweh, the commander of the armies of angels in heaven, wants [PRS] it to happen.
32 A protož toto praví Hospodin o králi Assyrském: Nevejdeť do města tohoto, aniž sem střely vstřelí, aniž se ho zmocní pavézníci, aniž udělají u něho náspu.
So this is what Yahweh, says about the king of Assyria: ‘His armies will not enter this city; they will not even shoot any arrows into it! His soldiers will not march outside the city gates carrying shields, and they will not even build high mounds of dirt against [the city walls] [to enable them to attack the city].
33 Cestou, kterouž přitáhl, zase navrátí se, a do města tohoto nevejde, praví Hospodin.
Their king will return to his own country on the same road on which he came here. He will not enter this city! [That will happen because] I, Yahweh have said it!
34 Nebo chrániti budu města tohoto, abych je zachoval pro sebe a pro Davida služebníka svého.
I will defend this city and prevent it from being destroyed. I will do this for the sake of my own reputation and because of what I promised to King David, who served me well.'”
35 Tedy stalo se té noci, že vyšel anděl Hospodinův, a zbil v vojště Assyrském sto osmdesáte pět tisíců. I vstali ráno, a aj, všickni mrtví.
That night, an angel from Yahweh went out to where the army of Assyria had put up their tents, and killed 185,000 of their soldiers! When the rest of their soldiers woke up the next morning, they saw that there were corpses everywhere!
36 Pročež odjel a utekl Senacherib král Assyrský, a navrátiv se, bydlil v Ninive.
Then King Sennacherib left and went home to Nineveh, [the capital of Assyria].
37 I stalo se, když se klaněl v chrámě Nizrocha boha svého, že Adramelech a Sarasar, synové jeho, zabili jej mečem, a sami utekli do země Ararat. I kraloval Esarchaddon syn jeho místo něho.
One day, when he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, two of his sons, Adrammelech and Sharezer, killed him with their swords. Then they escaped and went to [the] Ararat [region, northwest of Nineveh]. And another of Sennacherib's sons, Esarhaddon, became the king of Assyria.
