Isaiah 36
1 In the fourteenth year of the reign of Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, attacked and conquered all the fortified towns of Judah.
Pripetilo se je torej v štirinajstem letu kralja Ezekíja, da je asirski kralj Senaherib prišel gor zoper vsa obrambna Judova mesta in jih zavzel.
2 The king of Assyria sent his army general, along with a large army, from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. He stopped by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer's Field.
Asirski kralj je poslal Rabšakéja iz Lahíša v Jeruzalem h kralju Ezekíju z veliko vojsko. In ta se je ustavil pri kanalu gornjega ribnika, na glavni cesti pralčevega polja.
3 Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, the palace manager, Shebnah the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the record-keeper, went out to speak with him.
Potem so prišli k njemu Hilkijájev sin Eljakím, ki je bil nad hišo, pisar Šebná in Asáfov sin Joáh, letopisec.
4 The Assyrian army general said to them, “Tell Hezekiah this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: What are you trusting in that gives you such confidence?
Rabšaké jim je rekel: »Povejte torej Ezekíju: ›Tako govori veliki kralj, kralj Asirije: ›Kakšno zaupanje je to, v katero zaupaš?‹
5 You say you have a strategy and are ready for war, but these are empty words. Who are you relying on, now that you have rebelled against me?
Jaz pravim, ti govoriš (toda to so samo prazne besede) imam nasvet in moč za vojno. Torej komu zaupaš, da si se uprl zoper mene?
6 Now look! You're trusting in Egypt, a walking stick that's like a broken reed that will cut the hand of anyone leaning on it. That's what Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is like to everyone who trusts in him.
Glej, zanašaš se na palico tega zlomljenega trsta, na Egipt, na katerega, če se človek naslanja, se bo zadrl v njegovo roko in jo prebodel. Tako je faraon, egiptovski kralj, vsem, ki zaupajo vanj.
7 If you tell me, ‘We're trusting in the Lord our God,’ well didn't Hezekiah remove his high places and his altars, telling Judah and Jerusalem: ‘You have to worship at this altar in Jerusalem’?
Toda če mi rečeš: ›Mi zaupamo v Gospoda, svojega Boga.‹ Mar ni to tisti, katerega visoke kraje in katerega oltarje je Ezekíja odvzel ter Judu in Jeruzalemu rekel: ›Oboževali boste pred tem oltarjem?‹
8 Why don't you accept a challenge from my master, the king of Assyria? He says, I'll give you two thousand horses, if you can find enough riders for them!
Zdaj torej daj jamstva, prosim te, mojemu gospodarju, asirskemu kralju, jaz pa ti bom dal dva tisoč konjev, če boš na svoji strani nanje zmožen postaviti jezdece.
9 How could you defeat even a single officer in charge of the weakest of my master's men when you're trusting in Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
Kako boš potem odvrnil obličje enega poveljnika, izmed najmanjših služabnikov mojega gospodarja in svoje upanje položil v Egipt zaradi bojnih vozov in konjenikov?
10 More than that—would I have come to attack this place without the Lord's encouragement? It was the Lord himself who told me, ‘Go and attack this land and destroy it.’”
Sem mar sedaj brez Gospoda prišel gor zoper to deželo, da jo uničim? Gospod mi je rekel: ›Pojdi gor zoper to deželo in jo uniči.‹«
11 Eliakim, Shebnah, and Joah, said to the army general, “Please speak to us, your servants, in Aramaic, for we understand it. Don't speak to us in Hebrew while the people on the wall are listening.”
Nato so Eljakím, Šebná in Joáh rekli Rabšakéju: »Govori, prosimo te, svojim služabnikom v sirskem jeziku, kajti razumemo ga in ne govori nam v judovskem jeziku v ušesa ljudstva, ki je na obzidju.«
12 But the army general replied, “Did my master only send me to say these things to your master and to you, and not to the people sitting on the wall? They too, just like you, are going to have to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine!”
Toda Rabšaké je rekel: »Me je mar moj gospodar poslal k tvojemu gospodarju in k tebi, da ti govorim te besede? Mar me ni poslal k možem, ki sedijo na obzidju, da bodo lahko jedli svoj lastni iztrebek in z vami pili svoj lastni seč?«
13 Then the army general shouted out in Hebrew, “Listen to this from the great king, the king of Assyria!
Potem se je Rabšaké ustopil in z močnim glasom zaklical v judovskem jeziku in rekel: »Poslušajte besede velikega kralja, asirskega kralja.
14 This is what the king says: Don't let Hezekiah trick you! He can't save you!
Tako govori kralj: ›Ne dopustite, da vas Ezekíja zavede, kajti ne bo vas mogel osvoboditi.
15 Don't believe Hezekiah when he tells you to trust in the Lord, saying, ‘I'm certain the Lord will save us. This city will never fall into the hands of the king of Assyria.’
Niti naj vas Ezekíja ne primora zaupati v Gospoda, rekoč: › Gospod nas bo zagotovo osvobodil, to mesto ne bo izročeno v roko asirskega kralja.‹
16 Don't listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king says: Make a peace treaty with me and surrender to me. That way everyone will eat from their own vine and their own fig tree, and drink water from their own well!
Ne prisluhnite Ezekíju, kajti tako govori kralj Asirije: › Z darilom sklenite dogovor z menoj in pridite ven k meni in jejte vsak od svoje trte in vsak od svojega figovega drevesa in pijte vode, vsak iz svojega lastnega vodnega zbiralnika,
17 I will come and take you to a land that's like your own, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
dokler ne pridem in vas ne vzamem proč v deželo, podobno vaši lastni deželi, deželo žita in vina, deželo kruha in vinogradov.
18 But don't let Hezekiah trick you when he says, ‘The Lord will deliver us.’ Have any of the gods of any nation ever saved their land from the power of the king of Assyria?
Pazite, da vas Ezekíja ne prepriča, rekoč: › Gospod nas bo osvobodil.‹ Mar je katerikoli izmed bogov narodov svojo deželo osvobodil iz roke asirskega kralja?
19 Where were the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where were the gods of Sepharvaim? Were they able to save Samaria from me?
Kje so bogovi Hamáta in Arpáda? Kje so bogovi Sefarvájima? Mar so le-ti Samarijo osvobodili iz moje roke?
20 Which one of all the gods of these countries has saved their land from me? How then could the Lord save Jerusalem from me?”
Kdo so tisti izmed vseh bogov teh dežel, ki so svojo deželo osvobodili iz moje roke, da bi Gospod Jeruzalem osvobodil iz moje roke?«
21 But the people remained silent and didn't say anything, for Hezekiah had given the order, “Don't answer him.”
Toda molčali so in mu niso odgovorili niti besede, kajti kraljeva zapoved je bila, rekoč: »Ne odgovarjajte mu.«
22 Then Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, the palace manager, Shebna the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the record-keeper, went to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and they told him what the Assyrian army general had said.
Potem so prišli Hilkijájev sin Eljakím, ki je bil nad družino, pisar Šebná in Asáfov sin Joáh, letopisec, k Ezekíju s svojimi pretrganimi oblačili in mu povedali Rabšakéjeve besede.
