2 Kings 19
1 And it comes to pass, at King Hezekiah’s hearing, that he tears his garments, and covers himself with sackcloth, and enters the house of YHWH,
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 sends Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elderly of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz,
Poslal je Eljakíma, ki je bil nad družino, pisarja Šebná in starešine izmed duhovnikov, pokrite z vrečevino, k preroku Izaiju, Amócovemu sinu.
3 and they say to him, “Thus said Hezekiah: This day [is] a day of distress, and rebuke, and despising; for sons have come to the birth, and there is not power to bring forth.
Rekli so mu: »Tako govori Ezekíja: ›Ta dan je dan nevšečnosti, grajanja in bogokletja, kajti otroci so prišli do rojstva, pa ni moči, da se rodijo.
4 It may be your God YHWH hears all the words of the chief of the butlers with which the king of Asshur his lord has sent him to reproach the living God, and has decided concerning the words that your God YHWH has heard, and you have lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.”
Morda bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, slišal vse besede Rabšakéja, ki ga je njegov gospodar, asirski kralj, poslal, da graja živega Boga in bo grajal besede, ki jih je slišal Gospod, tvoj Bog. Zatorej dvigni svojo molitev za preostanek, ki je ostal.‹«
5 And the servants of King Hezekiah come to Isaiah,
Tako so služabniki kralja Ezekíja prišli k Izaiju.
6 and Isaiah says to them, “Thus you say to your lord, Thus said YHWH: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled 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 Behold, I am giving a spirit in him, and he has heard a report, and has turned back to his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.”
Glej, nadenj bom poslal sunek [duha] in slišal bo govorico in se vrne v svojo lastno deželo. Povzročil mu bom, da v svoji lastni deželi pade pod mečem.‹«
8 And the chief of the butlers turns back and finds the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he has heard that he has journeyed from Lachish.
Tako se je Rabšaké vrnil in našel asirskega kralja, vojskujočega se zoper Libno, kajti slišal je, da je ta odšel iz Lahíša.
9 And he hears concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “Behold, he has come out to fight with you”; and he turns and sends messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Ko je slišal o etiopskem kralju Tirháku govoriti: »Glej, prišel je ven, da se bojuje zoper tebe, « je ponovno poslal poslance k Ezekíju, rekoč:
10 “Thus you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God in whom you are trusting lift you up, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
»Tako boste govorili Judovemu kralju Ezekíju, rekoč: ›Naj te tvoj Bog, v katerega zaupaš, ne zavaja, rekoč: ›Jeruzalem ne bo izročen v roko asirskega kralja.‹
11 Behold, you have heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands—to devote them; and are you delivered?
Glej, slišal si kaj so asirski kralji storili vsem deželam z njihovim popolnim uničenjem. In ti boš rešen?
12 Did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed—Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] in Thelassar?
Mar so bogovi narodov rešili 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 city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?”
Kje je kralj Hamáta, kralj Arpáda in kralj mesta Sefarvájima, Hene in Avája?«
14 And Hezekiah takes the letters out of the hand of the messengers and reads them, and goes up to the house of YHWH, and Hezekiah spreads it before YHWH.
In Ezekíja je prejel pismo iz roke poslancev ter ga prebral. Ezekíja je odšel gor v Gospodovo hišo in ga razgrnil pred Gospodom.
15 And Hezekiah prays before YHWH and says, “O YHWH, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, You [are] God Himself—You alone—to all the kingdoms of the earth: You have made the heavens and the earth.
Ezekíja je molil pred Gospodom in rekel: »Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ki prebivaš med kerubi, ti si Bog, celó samo ti vsem zemeljskim kraljestvom. Ti si naredil nebo in zemljo.
16 Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, and hear; open, O YHWH, Your eyes, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib with which he has sent him to reproach the living God.
Gospod, nagni svoje uho in prisluhni, odpri, Gospod, svoje oči. Poglej in poslušaj besede Senaheriba, ki ga je poslal, da graja živega Boga.
17 Truly, O YHWH, kings of Asshur have laid waste the nations and their land,
Resnično Gospod, sirski kralji so uničili narode in njihove dežele,
18 and have put their gods into fire, for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone, and destroy them.
njihove bogove so vrgli v ogenj, kajti le-ti niso bili bogovi, temveč delo človeških rok, les in kamen. Zato so jih uničili.
19 And now, O our God YHWH, please save us out of his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth know that You [are] YHWH God—You alone.”
Zdaj torej, oh Gospod, naš Bog, rotim te, reši nas iz njegove roke, da bodo vsa kraljestva zemlje lahko vedela, da si ti Gospod Bog, celó samo ti.«
20 And Isaiah son of Amoz sends to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: That which you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur I have heard;
Potem je Amócov sin Izaija, poslal k Ezekíju, rekoč: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: › To, kar si molil k meni zoper asirskega kralja Senaheriba, sem slišal.
21 this [is] the word that YHWH spoke concerning him: Trampled on you—laughed at you Has the virgin daughter of Zion; Shaken the head behind you Has the daughter of Jerusalem!
To je beseda, ki jo je glede njega govoril Gospod: ›Devica, sionska hči me je prezirala in se smejala do norčevanja, jeruzalemska hči je s svojo glavo zmajevala nad teboj.
22 Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up a voice? Indeed, you lift up your eyes on high—Against the Holy One of Israel!
Koga si grajal in zoper mene izrekal bogokletje? In zoper koga si povišal svoj glas in svoje oči povzdignil na visoko? Celó zoper Svetega Izraelovega.
23 By the hand of your messengers You have reproached the Lord, and say, In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of mountains—The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the lodging of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
S svojimi poslanci si grajal Gospoda in rekel: ›Z množico svojih bojnih voz sem prišel gor na višine gora, k pobočjem Libanona in posekal bom njegova visoka cedrova drevesa in njegov izbran cipresov les in vstopil bom v taborišča njegovih meja in v gozd njegovega Karmela.
24 I have dug, and drunk strange waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
Kopál sem, pil tuje vode in s podplatom svojega stopala sem posušil vse reke obleganih krajev.‹
25 Have you not heard from afar [that] I made it, From days of old that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it becomes a desolation, Ruinous heaps [are] fortified cities,
Mar nisi slišal dolgo nazaj kako sem to storil in od starodavnih časov, da sem to oblikoval? Ali sem sedaj privedel, da se zgodi, da bi ti opustošil utrjena mesta v kupe razvalin?
26 And their inhabitants [are] feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up, They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted grain—before it has risen up!
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.
27 And your sitting down, and your going out, And your coming in, I have known, And your anger toward Me;
Toda poznam tvoje prebivališče, tvoj izhod, tvoj prihod in tvoje besnenje zoper mene.
28 Because of your anger toward Me, And your noise—it came up into My ears, I have put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And have caused you to turn back In the way in which you came.
Ker je tvoje besnenje zoper mene in je tvoj hrup prišel gor v moja ušesa, zato bom zataknil kavelj v tvoj nos in svojo brzdo med tvoje ustnice in obrnil te bom nazaj po poti, po kateri si prišel.
29 And this [is] the sign to you, Food of the year [is] the spontaneous growth, And in the second year the self-produced, And in the third year you sow, and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruits.
To ti bo znamenje: ›To leto boste jedli takšne stvari, ki same zrasejo, v drugem letu pa to, kar zraste iz istega. V tretjem letu pa sejte, žanjite, zasajajte vinograde in jejte njegove sadove.
30 And it has continued—The escaped of the house of Judah That has been left—to take root beneath, And has made fruit upward.
Preostanek, ki je pobegnil iz Judove hiše, se bo še enkrat ukoreninil navzdol in prinašal sad navzgor.
31 For a remnant goes out from Jerusalem, And an escape from Mount Zion; The zeal of YHWH [of Hosts] does this.
Kajti iz Jeruzalema bo izšel preostanek in z gore Sion tisti, ki pobegnejo. Gorečnost Gospoda nad bojevniki bo to storila.‹
32 Therefore, thus said YHWH, Concerning the king of Asshur: He does not come into this city, Nor does he shoot an arrow there, Nor does he come before it with shield, Nor does he pour out a mound against it.
Zato tako govori Gospod glede asirskega kralja: ›Ne bo prišel v to mesto, niti tja ne bo izstrelil puščice, niti ne bo predenj prišel s ščitom, niti ne bo zoper njega nasul okopov.
33 In the way that he comes in—In it he turns back, And to this city he does not come in, A declaration of YHWH—
Po poti, po kateri je prišel, po isti se bo vrnil in ne bo prišel v to mesto, ‹ govori Gospod.
34 And I have covered over this city, To save it for My own sake, And for the sake of My servant David.”
›Kajti branil bom to mesto, da ga rešim zaradi sebe in zaradi svojega služabnika Davida.‹«
35 And it comes to pass, in that night, that a messenger of YHWH goes out, and strikes one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of Asshur, and they rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them [are] dead corpses.
Tisto noč se je pripetilo, da je Gospodov angel odšel ven in v taboru Asircev udaril sto petinosemdeset tisoč [mož]. Ko so zgodaj zjutraj vstali, glej, vsi so bili mrtva trupla.
36 And Sennacherib king of Asshur journeys, and goes, and turns back, and dwells in Nineveh;
Tako je asirski kralj Senaherib odpotoval, odšel, se vrnil in prebival v Ninivah.
37 and it comes to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch, and [his sons] Adramelech and Sharezar have struck him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and his son Esar-Haddon reigns in his stead.
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. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Asarhadón.
