< Isaiah 36 >
1 Nowe in the fourteenth yeere of King Hezekiah, Saneherib King of Asshur came vp against al the strong cities of Iudah, and tooke them.
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 And the King of Asshur sent Rabshakeh from Lachish toward Ierusalem vnto King Hezekiah, with a great hoste, and he stood by ye conduite of the vpper poole in the path of the fullers fielde.
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 Then came foorth vnto him Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah the steward of the house, and Shebna the chanceler, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder.
Potem so prišli k njemu Hilkijájev sin Eljakím, ki je bil nad hišo, pisar Šebná in Asáfov sin Joáh, letopisec.
4 And Rabshakeh sayde vnto them, Tell you Hezekiah, I pray you, Thus sayth the great King, the King of Asshur, What confidence is this, wherein thou trustest?
Rabšaké jim je rekel: »Povejte torej Ezekíju: ›Tako govori veliki kralj, kralj Asirije: ›Kakšno zaupanje je to, v katero zaupaš?‹
5 I say, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre: on whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest 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 Loe, thou trustest in this broken staffe of reede on Egypt, whereupon if a man leane, it will goe into his hand, and pearce it: so is Pharaoh King of Egypt, vnto all that trust 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 But if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord our God. Is not that he, whose hie places and whose altars Hezekiah tooke downe, and said to Iudah and to Ierusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
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 Nowe therefore giue hostages to my lorde the King of Asshur, and I wil giue thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders vpon 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 For howe canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my lordes seruants? and put thy trust on Egypt for charets and for 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 And am I now come vp without the Lord to this land to destroy it? The Lord sayd vnto me, Goe vp against 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 Then sayd Eliakim and Shebna and Ioah vnto Rabshakeh, Speake, I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, (for we vnderstand it) and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall.
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 Then said Rabshakeh, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee to speake these wordes, and not to the men that sit on the wall? that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse with you?
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 So Rabshakeh stood, and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and sayd, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the King of Asshur.
Potem se je Rabšaké ustopil in z močnim glasom zaklical v judovskem jeziku in rekel: »Poslušajte besede velikega kralja, asirskega kralja.
14 Thus saith the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer you.
Tako govori kralj: ›Ne dopustite, da vas Ezekíja zavede, kajti ne bo vas mogel osvoboditi.
15 Neither let Hezekiah make you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs: this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the King of Asshur.
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 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus sayth the King of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne fig tree, and drinke euery man the water of his owne 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 Till I come and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate, and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes,
dokler ne pridem in vas ne vzamem proč v deželo, podobno vaši lastni deželi, deželo žita in vina, deželo kruha in vinogradov.
18 Least Hezekiah deceiue you, saying, The Lord wil deliuer vs. Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his land out of the hand of the King of Asshur?
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 is the god of Hamath, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim? or howe haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine hand?
Kje so bogovi Hamáta in Arpáda? Kje so bogovi Sefarvájima? Mar so le-ti Samarijo osvobodili iz moje roke?
20 Who is hee among all the gods of these lands, that hath deliuered their countrey out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand?
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 Then they kept silence, and answered him not a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere him not.
Toda molčali so in mu niso odgovorili niti besede, kajti kraljeva zapoved je bila, rekoč: »Ne odgovarjajte mu.«
22 Then came Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah the steward of the house, and Shebna the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder, vnto Hezekiah with rent clothes, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh.
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.
