Isaiah 36
1 In the fourteenth year of Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked and captured all the fortified cities of Judah.
Un notikās ķēniņa Hizkijas četrpadsmitā gadā, tad Sanheribs, Asīrijas ķēniņš, cēlās pret visām stiprām Jūda pilsētām un tās uzņēma.
2 And the king of Assyria sent the Rabshakeh, with a great army, from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. And he stopped by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field.
Un Asīrijas ķēniņš sūtīja Rabzaku no Laķisa uz Jeruzālemi pie ķēniņa Hizkijas ar varen lielu karaspēku, un viņš stāvēja pie augšēja dīķa grāvjiem, vadmalnieka tīruma ceļa malā.
3 Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder, went out to him.
Tad pie viņa izgāja nama uzraugs Elijaķims, Hilķijas dēls, un skrīveris Šebna, un kanclers Joaks, Asafa dēls.
4 The Rabshakeh said to them, “Tell Hezekiah that this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: What is the basis of this confidence of yours?
Un Rabzakus uz tiem sacīja: sakāt jel Hizkijam: Tā saka tas lielais ķēniņš, Asīrijas ķēniņš: Kas tas tāds patvērums, uz ko tu paļaujies?
5 You claim to have a strategy and strength for war, but these are empty words. In whom are you now trusting, that you have rebelled against me?
Es saku: tas ir tukšs vārds, ka diezgan esot padoma un spēka uz karu; uz ko tad tu paļaujies, ka tu no manis esi atkritis?
6 Look now, you are trusting in Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff that will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
Redzi, tu paļaujies uz to salūzušo niedri, uz Ēģipti. Kas uz to atspiežas, tam tā ies rokā un to pārdurs. Tāds ir faraons, Ēģiptes ķēniņš, visiem, kas uz viņu paļaujas.
7 But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is He not the One whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship before this altar’?
Bet ja tu uz mani saki: Mēs paļaujamies uz To Kungu, savu Dievu, - vai tas nav tas pats, kam kalnus un altārus Hizkija ir nopostījis un sacījis uz Jūdu un Jeruzālemi: priekš šī altāra še jums būs pielūgt?
8 Now, therefore, make a bargain with my master, the king of Assyria. I will give you two thousand horses—if you can put riders on them!
Nu tad, noderi jel ar manu kungu, Asīrijas ķēniņu, un es tev došu divtūkstoš zirgus, ja tev ir jātnieki, ko tiem likt virsū.
9 For how can you repel a single officer among the least of my master’s servants when you depend on Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
Kā tad tu varēsi atsist atpakaļ vienu pašu virsnieku no mana kunga vismazākiem kalpiem? Bet tu paļaujies uz Ēģipti, ratu un jātnieku dēļ.
10 So now, was it apart from the LORD that I have come up against this land to destroy it? The LORD Himself said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’”
Vai tad nu es bez Tā Kunga esmu cēlies pret šo zemi, to izpostīt? Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: Celies pret šo zemi un izposti to!
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Do not speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”
Tad Elijaķims un Šebna un Joāks sacīja uz Rabzaku: Runā jel ar saviem kalpiem sīriski, mēs to gan protam, un nerunā ar mums jūdiski priekš šo ļaužu ausīm, kas ir uz mūra.
12 But the Rabshakeh replied, “Has my master sent me to speak these words only to you and your master, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are destined with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?”
Bet Rabzakus sacīja: Vai mans kungs mani sūtījis pie tava kunga un pie tevis, šos vārdus runāt, vai ne pie tiem vīriem, kas sēž uz mūra, kam līdz ar jums būs jāēd savi sūdi un jādzer savi mīzali?
13 Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out loudly in Hebrew: “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
Un Rabzakus nostājās un sauca ar stipru balsi jūdiski un sacīja: klausāties tā lielā ķēniņa, Asīrijas ķēniņa, vārdus!
14 This is what the king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he cannot deliver you.
Tā saka ķēniņš: Lai Hizkija jūs neapmāna, jo viņš jūs nevarēs izglābt.
15 Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the LORD when he says, ‘The LORD will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’
Lai arī Hizkija jums nedara cerību uz To Kungu, sacīdams: tiešām, Tas Kungs mūs izglābs, šī pilsēta netaps dota Asīrijas ķēniņa rokā!
16 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and his own fig tree, and drink water from his own cistern,
Neklausāties uz Hizkiju. Jo tā saka Asīrijas ķēniņš: Deriet ar mani mieru un nākat pie manis ārā, tad ikviens ēdīs no sava vīna koka un ikviens no sava vīģes koka, un ikviens dzers ūdeni no savas akas,
17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
Kamēr es nākšu, un jūs aizvedīšu tādā zemē, kā jūsu zeme, zeme, kur ir labība un vīns, zeme, kur ir maize un vīna dārzi.
18 Do not let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, ‘The LORD will deliver us.’ Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
Lai Hizkija jūs nepieviļ, sacīdams: Tas Kungs mūs izglābs! Vai gan pagānu dievi ikviens savu zemi izglābuši no Asīrijas ķēniņa rokas?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
Kur ir Hamatas un Arpadas dievi, kur ir Sefarvaimas dievi? Vai tie gan Samariju izglābuši no manas rokas?
20 Who among all the gods of these lands has delivered his land from my hand? How then can the LORD deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”
Kurš no visiem šo zemju dieviem savu zemi izglābis no manas rokas? Kā tad Tas Kungs Jeruzālemi izglābs no manas rokas?
21 But the people remained silent and did not answer a word, for Hezekiah had commanded, “Do not answer him.”
Bet tie cieta klusu un viņam neatbildēja neviena vārda, jo ķēniņš bija pavēlējis un sacījis: Jums nebūs viņam atbildēt.
22 Then Hilkiah’s son Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and Asaph’s son Joah the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and they relayed to him the words of the Rabshakeh.
Tad nama uzraugs Elijaķims, Hilķijas dēls, un skrīveris Šebna un kanclers Joaks, Asafa dēls, nāca pie Hizkijas ar saplēstām drēbēm un viņam stāstīja Rabzakus vārdus.
