Isaiah 36
1 And it comes to pass, in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Asshur has come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seizes 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 sends Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a heavy force, and he stands by the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller’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 and Eliakim son of Hilkiah goes forth to him, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer.
Potem so prišli k njemu Hilkijájev sin Eljakím, ki je bil nad hišo, pisar Šebná in Asáfov sin Joáh, letopisec.
4 And Rabshakeh says to them, “Now say to Hezekiah, Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur: What [is] this confidence in which you have confided?
Rabšaké jim je rekel: »Povejte torej Ezekíju: ›Tako govori veliki kralj, kralj Asirije: ›Kakšno zaupanje je to, v katero zaupaš?‹
5 I have said, Only a word of the lips! Counsel and might [are] for battle. Now, on whom have you trusted, 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 Behold, you have trusted on the staff of this broken reed—on Egypt—which a man leans on, and it has gone into his hand, and pierced it—so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting on 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 And do you say to me, We have trusted in our God YHWH? Is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has turned aside, and says to Judah and to Jerusalem, Bow yourselves 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 And now, please negotiate with my lord the king of Asshur, and I give two thousand horses to you, if you are able to put riders on them for yourself.
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 And how do you turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, and trust on Egypt for yourself, for chariot 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 now, without YHWH have I come up against this land to destroy it? YHWH said to me, Go up to this land, and you have destroyed 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 And Eliakim says—and Shebna and Joah—to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants [in] Aramaic, for we are understanding; and do not speak to us [in] Jewish, in the ears of the people who [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 And Rabshakeh says, “To your lord, and to you, has my lord sent me to speak these words? Is it not for the men—those sitting on the wall to eat their own dung and to drink their own water 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 And Rabshakeh stands and calls with a great voice [in] Jewish, and says, “Hear the words of the great king, 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 said the king: Do not let Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you;
Tako govori kralj: ›Ne dopustite, da vas Ezekíja zavede, kajti ne bo vas mogel osvoboditi.
15 and do not let Hezekiah make you trust to YHWH, saying, YHWH certainly delivers us, this city is not given 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 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur: Make a blessing with me, and come out to me, and each of you eat of his vine, and each of his fig tree, and each drink the waters of his 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 until my coming in, and I have taken you to a land like your own land, a land of grain and 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 lest Hezekiah persuades you, saying, YHWH delivers us. Have the gods of the nations each delivered 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 [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Kje so bogovi Hamáta in Arpáda? Kje so bogovi Sefarvájima? Mar so le-ti Samarijo osvobodili iz moje roke?
20 Who among all the gods of these lands [are] they who have delivered their land out of my hand, that YHWH delivers Jerusalem out of my 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 And they keep silent, and have not answered him a word, for a command of the king is, saying, “Do not answer him.”
Toda molčali so in mu niso odgovorili niti besede, kajti kraljeva zapoved je bila, rekoč: »Ne odgovarjajte mu.«
22 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, comes in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer, to Hezekiah, with torn garments, and they declare to him the words 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.
