< Isaiah 37 >

1 And when the King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth and came into the House of the Lord.
Pripetilo se je, ko je kralj Ezekíja to slišal, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila, se pokril z vrečevino in odšel v Gospodovo hišo.
2 And he sent Eliakim the stewarde of the house, aud Shebna the chanceller, with the Elders of the Priestes, clothed in sackcloth vnto Isaiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz.
Poslal je Eljakíma, ki je bil nad družino, pisarja Šebná in starešine duhovnikov, pokrite z vrečevino, k preroku Izaiju, Amócovemu sinu.
3 And they sayd vnto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and blasphemie: for the children are come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring foorth.
Rekli so mu: »Tako govori Ezekíja: ›Ta dan je dan stiske, graje in bogokletja, kajti otroci so prišli do rojstva in tam ni moči za porod.
4 If so be the Lord thy God hath heard the wordes of Rabshakeh, whom the King of Asshur his master hath sent to raile on the liuing God, and to reproch him with wordes which the Lord thy God hath heard, then lift thou vp thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
Morda bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, slišal besede Rabšakéja, ki ga je poslal asirski kralj, njegov gospodar, da kara živega Boga in bo pograjal besede, ki jih je slišal Gospod, tvoj Bog. Zatorej dvigni svojo molitev za ostanek, ki je ostal.«
5 So the seruants of the King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Tako so služabniki kralja Ezekíja prišli k Izaiju.
6 And Isaiah sayde vnto them, Thus say vnto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afrayd of the wordes that thou hast heard, wherewith the seruants of the king of Asshur haue blasphemed me.
Izaija jim je rekel: »Tako boste rekli svojemu gospodarju: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boj se besed, ki si jih slišal, s katerimi so služabniki asirskega kralja proti meni izrekali bogokletje.
7 Beholde, I wil send a blast vpon him, and he shall heare a noyse, and returne to his owne land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his owne land.
Glej, nanj bom poslal sunek [duha] in slišal bo govorico in se vrnil v svojo lastno deželo in povzročil mu bom, da v svoji lastni deželi pade pod mečem.‹«
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the King of Asshur fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Tako se je Rabšaké vrnil in našel asirskega kralja, vojskujočega se zoper Libno, kajti slišal je, da je odpotoval iz Lahíša.
9 He heard also men say of Tirhakah, King of Ethiopia, Beholde, he is come out to fight against thee: and when he heard it, he sent other messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Slišal je reči glede Tirháka, kralja Etiopije: »Prišel je naprej, da se vojskuje s teboj.« In ko je ta to slišal, je poslal poslance k Ezekíju, rekoč:
10 Thus shall ye speake to Hezekiah King of Iudah, saying, Let not thy God deceiue thee, in whom thou trustest, saying, Ierusalem shall not be giuen into the hand of the King of Asshur.
»Tako govorite Judovemu kralju Ezekíju, rekoč: ›Ne dopusti, da te tvoj Bog, v katerega zaupaš, zavede, rekoč: ›Jeruzalem ne bo izročen v roko asirskega kralja.‹
11 Beholde, thou hast heard what the Kings of Asshur haue done to all lands in destroying them, and shalt thou be deliuered?
Glej, slišal si, kaj so asirski kralji storili vsem deželam z njihovim popolnim uničenjem, pa boš ti osvobojen?
12 Haue the gods of the nations deliuered them, which my fathers haue destroyed? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were at Telassar?
Mar so bogovi narodov osvobodili tiste, ki so jih moji očetje uničili, kakor Gozána, Harána, Recefa in otroke Edena, ki so bili v Telasárju?
13 Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the citie of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah?
Kje je kralj Hamáta, kralj Arpáda in kralj mesta Sefarvájima, Hene in Avája?‹«
14 So Hezekiah receiued the letter of the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went vp into the House of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it before the Lord.
Ezekíja je prejel pismo iz roke poslancev ter ga prebral in Ezekíja je odšel gor v Gospodovo hišo in ga razprostrl pred Gospodom.
15 And Hezekiah prayed vnto the Lord, saying,
In Ezekíja je molil h Gospodu, rekoč:
16 O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, which dwellest betweene the Cherubims, thou art very God alone ouer all the kingdomes of the earth: thou hast made the heauen and the earth.
»Oh Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, ki prebivaš med kerubi, ti si Bog, celó ti sam, izmed vseh kraljestev zemlje. Ti si naredil nebo in zemljo.
17 Encline thine eare, O Lord, and heare: open thine eyes, O Lord, and see, and heare all the wordes of Saneherib, who hath sent to blaspheme the liuing God.
Nagni svoje uho, oh Gospod in prisluhni; odpri svoje oči, oh Gospod in glej in poslušaj vse besede Senaheriba, ki jih je poslal, da graja živega Boga.
18 Trueth it is, O Lord, that the Kings of Asshur haue destroyed all lands, and their countrey,
Resnično, Gospod, asirski kralji so opustošili vse narode in njihove dežele
19 And haue cast their gods in ye fire: for they were no gods, but the worke of mans hands, euen wood or stone: therefore they destroyed them.
in njihove bogove vrgli v ogenj, kajti to niso bili bogovi, temveč delo človeških rok, les in kamen, zato so jih uničili.
20 Nowe therefore, O Lord our God, saue thou vs out of his hand, that all the kingdomes of the earth may knowe, that thou onely art the Lord.
Zdaj torej, oh Gospod, naš Bog, reši nas pred njegovo roko, da bodo vsa kraljestva zemlje lahko vedela, da si ti Gospod, celó samo ti.«
21 Then Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sent vnto Hezekiah, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Because thou hast prayed vnto me, concerning Saneherib king of Asshur,
Potem je Izaija, Amócov sin, poslal k Ezekíju, rekoč: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Kakor si molil k meni zoper asirskega kralja Senaheriba;
22 This is the worde that the Lord hath spoken against him, the virgine, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorne: the daughter of Ierusalem, hath shaken her head at thee.
to je beseda, ki jo je Gospod spregovoril glede njega: ›Devica, sionska hči, te je prezirala in se ti smejala do zaničevanja, jeruzalemska hči je nad teboj zmajevala z glavo.
23 Whome hast thou railed on and blasphemed? and against whome hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lifted vp thine eyes on hie? euen against the holy one of Israel.
Koga si grajal in proti komu si izrekal bogokletje? Zoper koga si povišal svoj glas in svoje oči povzdignil na višavo? Celó zoper Svetega Izraelovega.
24 By thy seruants hast thou railed on the Lord, and sayd, By the multitude of my charets I am come vp to the top of the mountaines to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut downe the hie cedars thereof, and the faire firre trees thereof, and I will goe vp to the heightes of his top and to the forest of his fruitfull places.
S svojimi služabniki si grajal Gospoda in rekel: ›Z množico svojih bojnih vozov sem prišel gor do višin gora, k pobočjem Libanona in posekal bom njegove visoke cedre in izbrane ciprese in vstopil bom v višino njegove meje in gozd njegovega Karmela.
25 I haue digged and drunke the waters, and with the plant of my feete haue I dryed all the riuers closed in.
Kopál sem in pil vodo in s podplatom svojega stopala sem posušil vse reke obleganih krajev.
26 Hast thou not heard howe I haue of olde time made it, and haue formed it long ago? and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and layde on ruinous heapes, as cities defensed?
Mar nisi že dolgo nazaj slišal, kako sem to storil in od starodavnih časov, da sem to oblikoval? Sedaj sem privedel, da se je to zgodilo, da bi moral položiti opustela obrambna mesta v kupe ruševin.
27 Whose inhabitants haue small power, and are afrayd and confounded: they are like the grasse of the field and greene herbe, or grasse on the house tops, or corne blassed afore it be growen.
Zato so bili njihovi prebivalci majhne moči, bili so zaprepadeni in zbegani. Bili so kakor trava polja in kakor zeleno zelišče, kakor trava na hišnih strehah in kakor ožgano žito, preden zraste.
28 But I know thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy comming in, and thy fury against me.
Toda jaz poznam tvoje prebivališče, tvoje odhajanje, tvoje prihajanje in tvoj bes zoper mene.
29 Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vnto mine eares, therefore will I put mine hooke in thy nostrels, and my bridle in thy lips, and wil bring thee backe againe the same way thou camest.
Ker je tvoj bes zoper mene in je tvoj hrup prišel gor v moja ušesa, zato bom zataknil svoj kavelj v tvoj nos in svojo brzdo med tvoje ustnice in te obrnil nazaj po poti, po kateri si prišel.
30 And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eate this yeere such as groweth of it selfe: and the second yeere, such things as growe without sowing: and in the third yeere, sowe ye and reape, and plant vineyards, and eate the fruite thereof.
To ti bo znamenje: › To leto boste jedli kar zraste samo od sebe in drugo leto to, kar požene od istega, v tretjem letu pa sejte, žanjite, sadite vinograde in jejte od njihovega sadu.
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Iudah, shall againe take roote downward and beare fruite vpward.
Preostanek od Judove hiše, ki je pobegnil, se bo ponovno ukoreninil navzdol in navzgor obrodil sad.
32 For out of Ierusalem shall goe a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeale of the Lord of hostes shall doe this.
Kajti iz Jeruzalema bo izšel preostanek in tisti, ki pobegnejo z gore Sion. Gorečnost Gospoda nad bojevniki bo to storila.‹
33 Therefore thus sayth the Lord, concerning the King of Asshur, He shall not enter into this citie, nor shoote an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it.
Zato tako govori Gospod glede asirskega kralja: ›Ta ne bo prišel v to mesto, niti tja ne bo izstrelil puščice, niti predenj ne bo prišel s ščiti, niti zoper njega ne bo nasul okopa.
34 By the same way that he came, he shall returne, and not come into this citie, saith the Lord.
Po poti, po kateri je prišel, po isti se bo vrnil in ne bo prišel v to mesto, ‹ govori Gospod.
35 For I will defend this citie to saue it, for mine owne sake, and for my seruant Dauids sake.
›Kajti jaz bom branil to mesto, da ga rešim zaradi sebe in zaradi svojega služabnika Davida.‹«
36 Then the Angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the campe of Asshur an hundreth, fourescore, and fiue thousand: so when they arose early in the morning, beholde, they were all dead corpses.
Potem je odšel naprej Gospodov angel in jih v taboru Asircev udaril sto petinosemdeset tisoč. Ko so zgodaj zjutraj vstali, glej, oni vsi so bili mrtva trupla.
37 So Saneherib king of Asshur departed, and went away and returned and dwelt at Nineueh.
Tako je asirski kralj Senaherib odpotoval, odšel, se vrnil in prebival v Ninivah.
38 And as he was in the temple worshipping of Nisroch his god, Adramelech and Sharezer his sonnes slewe him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat: and Esarhaddon his sonne reigned in his steade.
Pripetilo se je, ko je oboževal v hiši svojega boga Nisróha, da sta ga njegova sinova Adraméleh in Sarécer udarila z mečem in pobegnila v deželo Armenijo in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Asarhadón.
