Isaiah 37
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 son of Amoz the prophet,
Poslal je Eljakíma, ki je bil nad družino, pisarja Šebná in starešine duhovnikov, pokrite z vrečevino, k preroku Izaiju, Amócovemu sinu.
3 and they say to him, “Thus said Hezekiah: A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising, [is] this day; for sons have come to the birth, and there is not power to bear.
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 It may be your God YHWH hears the words of Rabshakeh 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 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 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, 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 And Rabshakeh 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 odpotoval iz Lahíša.
9 And he hears concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “He has come out to fight with you”; and he hears, and sends 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 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 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 Behold, you have heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands—to devote them—and you are delivered!
Glej, slišal si, kaj so asirski kralji storili vsem deželam z njihovim popolnim uničenjem, pa boš ti osvobojen?
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 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 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 Hezekiah goes up to the house of YHWH, and Hezekiah spreads it before YHWH.
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 prays to YHWH, saying,
In Ezekíja je molil h Gospodu, rekoč:
16 “YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, You [are] God Himself—You alone—to all kingdoms of the earth, You have made the heavens 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 Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, and hear; open, O YHWH, Your eyes and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib that he has sent to reproach the living 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 Truly, O YHWH, kings of Asshur have laid waste all the lands and their land,
Resnično, Gospod, asirski kralji so opustošili vse narode in njihove dežele
19 so as to put their gods into fire—for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone—and they destroy them.
in njihove bogove vrgli v ogenj, kajti to niso bili bogovi, temveč delo človeških rok, les in kamen, zato so jih uničili.
20 And now, our God YHWH, save us from his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth know that You [are] YHWH, You alone.”
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 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—
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 word that YHWH spoke concerning him: Trampled on you, laughed at you, Has the virgin daughter of Zion, The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken the head behind you.
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 Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom—lifted up the voice? Indeed, you lift up your eyes on high 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 the hand of your servants You have reviled the Lord, and say: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of hills, The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the high place of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
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 have dug and drunk waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
Kopál sem in pil vodo in s podplatom svojega stopala sem posušil vse reke obleganih krajev.
26 Have you not heard from afar [that] I did it, From days of old—that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it is to make desolate, Ruinous heaps—fortified cities,
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 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.
28 And your sitting down, and your going out, And your coming in, I have known, And your anger toward Me.
Toda jaz poznam tvoje prebivališče, tvoje odhajanje, tvoje prihajanje in tvoj bes zoper mene.
29 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 I have caused you to turn back In the way in which you came.
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 [is] the sign to you, Self-sown grain [is] food of the year, And in the second year the spontaneous growth, And in the third year, sow and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
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 it has continued—The escaped of the house of Judah that has been left—To take root beneath, And it has made fruit upward.
Preostanek od Judove hiše, ki je pobegnil, se bo ponovno ukoreninil navzdol in navzgor obrodil sad.
32 For a remnant goes forth from Jerusalem, And an escape from Mount Zion, The zeal of YHWH of Hosts does this.
Kajti iz Jeruzalema bo izšel preostanek in tisti, ki pobegnejo z gore Sion. Gorečnost Gospoda nad bojevniki bo to storila.‹
33 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: ›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 In the way that he came, 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.
35 And I have covered over this city, To save it, for My own sake, And for the sake of My servant David.”
›Kajti jaz bom branil to mesto, da ga rešim zaradi sebe in zaradi svojega služabnika Davida.‹«
36 And a messenger of YHWH goes out, and strikes in the camp of Asshur one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and [men] rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them [are] 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 And he journeys, and goes, and Sennacherib king of Asshur turns back, and dwells in Nineveh.
Tako je asirski kralj Senaherib odpotoval, odšel, se vrnil in prebival v Ninivah.
38 And it comes to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch, and his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer 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 in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Asarhadón.
