< Isaiah 36 >

1 And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
Èetrnaeste godine carovanja Jezekijina podiže se Senahirim car Asirski na sve tvrde gradove Judine, i uze ih.
2 And the king of Assyria sent Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to king Hezekiah, with a strong force. And he stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field.
I posla car Asirski Ravsaka iz Lahisa u Jerusalim k caru Jezekiji s velikom vojskom; i on stade kod jaza gornjega jezera na putu kod polja bjeljareva.
3 Then came forth to him Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler.
Tada izide k njemu Elijakim sin Helkijin, koji bijaše nad dvorom, i Somna pisar i Joah sin Asafov pametar.
4 And Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which thou trustest?
I reèe im Ravsak: kažite Jezekiji: ovako kaže veliki car, car Asirski: kakva je to uzdanica u koju se uzdaš?
5 Thou sayest, but it is a word of the lips, [There is] counsel and strength for war. Now on whom dost thou rely, that thou hast revolted against me?
Da reèem, ali su prazne rijeèi, da imaš svjeta i sile za rat. U što se dakle uzdaš, te si se odmetnuo od mene?
6 Behold, thou reliest upon the staff of that broken reed, upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it goes into his hand, and pierces it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that rely upon him.
Gle, uzdaš se u štap od trske slomljene, u Misir, na koji ako se ko nasloni, uæi æe mu u ruku i probošæe je; taki je Faraon car Misirski svjema koji se uzdaju u nj.
7 And if thou say to me, We rely upon Jehovah our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
Ako li mi reèeš: uzdamo se u Gospoda Boga svojega; nije li to onaj èije je visine i oltare oborio Jezekija i zapovjedio Judi i Jerusalimu: pred ovijem oltarom klanjajte se?
8 And now engage, I pray thee, with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
Hajde zateci se mojemu gospodaru caru Asirskom, i daæu ti dvije tisuæe konja, ako možeš dobaviti koji æe jahati.
9 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants? And thou reliest upon Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!
Kako æeš dakle odbiti i jednoga vojvodu izmeðu najmanjih slugu gospodara mojega? Ali se ti uzdaš u Misir za kola i konjike.
10 And now am I come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.
Svrh toga, eda li sam ja bez Gospoda došao na ovo mjesto da ga zatrem? Gospod mi je rekao: idi na tu zemlju, i zatri je.
11 And Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rab-shakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in Syriac, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jewish [language] in the ears of the people that are upon the wall.
Tada Elijakim i Somna i Joah rekoše Ravsaku: govori slugama svojim Sirski, jer razumijemo, a nemoj nam govoriti Judejski da sluša narod na zidu.
12 And Rab-shakeh said, Is it to thy master and to thee that my master sent me to speak these words? Is it not to the men that sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you?
A Ravsak reèe: eda li me je gospodar moj poslao ka gospodaru tvojemu ili k tebi da kažem ove rijeèi? nije li k tijem ljudima, što sjede na zidu, da jedu svoju neèist i da piju svoju mokraæu s vama?
13 And Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish [language], and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
Tada stade Ravsak i povika iza glasa Judejski i reèe: èujte rijeèi velikoga cara Asirskoga.
14 Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.
Ovako kaže car: nemojte da vas vara Jezekija, jer vas ne može izbaviti.
15 Neither let Hezekiah make you rely upon Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will certainly deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Nemojte da vas nagovori Jezekija da se pouzdate u Gospoda, govoreæi: Gospod æe nas izbaviti, ovaj se grad neæe dati u ruke caru Asirskom.
16 Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make peace with me and come out to me; and eat every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink every one the waters of his own cistern;
Ne slušajte Jezekije; jer ovako kaže car Asirski: uèinite mir sa mnom i hodite k meni, pa jedite svaki sa svoga èokota i svaki sa svoje smokve, i pijte svaki iz svojega studenca,
17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
Dokle ne doðem i odnesem vas u zemlju kao što je vaša, u zemlju obilnu žitom i vinom, u zemlju obilnu hljebom i vinogradima.
18 Let not Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Nemojte da vas vara Jezekija govoreæi: Gospod æe nas izbaviti. Je li koji izmeðu bogova drugih naroda izbavio svoju zemlju iz ruke cara Asirskoga?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Gdje su bogovi Ematski i Arfadski? gdje su bogovi Sefarvimski? jesu li izbavili Samariju iz mojih ruku?
20 Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Koji su izmeðu svijeh bogova ovijeh zemalja izbavili zemlju svoju iz moje ruke? a Gospod æe izbaviti Jerusalim iz moje ruke?
21 And they were silent, and answered him not a word; for the king's command was, saying, Answer him not.
Ali oni muèahu, i ne odgovoriše mu ni rijeèi, jer car bješe zapovjedio i rekao: ne odgovarajte mu.
22 And Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler, came to Hezekiah, with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
Tada Elijakim sin Helkijin, koji bijaše nad dvorom, i Somna pisar i Joah sin Asafov, pametar, doðoše k Jezekiji razdrvši haljine, i kazaše mu rijeèi Ravsakove.
