2 Kings 18
1 Now it happened in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
Pripetilo se je torej v tretjem letu Hošéa, Elájevega sina, Izraelovega kralja, da je začel kraljevati Ezekíja, Aházov sin, Judov kralj.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
Petindvajset let je bil star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval devetindvajset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Abí, Zaharijeva hči.
3 He did that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that David his father had done.
Delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar je storil njegov oče David.
4 He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
Odstranil je visoke kraje, zlomil podobe, posekal ašere in na koščke zdrobil bronasto kačo, ki jo je naredil Mojzes, kajti v tistih dneh so ji Izraelovi otroci zažigali kadilo in jo imenoval Nehuštán.
5 He trusted in YHWH, the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
Zaupal je v Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, tako da za njim ni bilo nikogar podobnega njemu med vsemi Judovimi kralji niti nikogar, ki bi bil pred njim.
6 For he joined with YHWH; he did not depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which YHWH commanded Moses.
Kajti pridružil se je h Gospodu in se ni oddvojil od sledenju njemu, temveč se je držal njegovih zapovedi, ki jih je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu.
7 YHWH was with him; wherever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and did not serve him.
Gospod je bil z njim in uspeval je kamorkoli je odšel in uprl se je zoper asirskega kralja in mu ni služil.
8 He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
Udaril je Filistejce, celó do Gaze in njenih meja, od stražarskega stolpa, do utrjenega mesta.
9 It happened in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
Pripetilo se je v četrtem letu kralja Ezekíja, kar je bilo sedmo leto Hošéa, Elájevega sina, Izraelovega kralja, da je asirski kralj Salmanasar prišel gor zoper Samarijo in jo oblegal.
10 At the end of three years they took it: in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
Ob koncu treh let so jo zavzeli, torej v šestem letu Ezekíja, to je v devetem letu Izraelovega kralja Hošéa je bila Samarija zavzeta.
11 The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
Asirski kralj je Izraela odvedel v Asirijo in jih naselil v Haláhu in Habórju, pri reki Gozán in v mestih Medijcev,
12 because they did not obey the voice of YHWH their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of YHWH commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.
ker niso ubogali glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga, temveč so prestopili njegovo zavezo in vse, kar je zapovedal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes, pa jih niso hoteli slišati niti jih izpolnjevati.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
Torej v štirinajstem letu kralja Ezekíja je asirski kralj Senaherib prišel gor zoper vsa utrjena Judova mesta in jih zavzel.
14 Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, "I have offended; return from me. That which you put on me, I will bear." The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Judov kralj Ezekíja je poslal k asirskemu kralju v Lahíš, rekoč: »Grešil sem, obrni se od mene. To, kar polagaš name, bom nosil.« Asirski kralj je Judovemu kralju Ezekíju določil tristo talentov srebra in trideset talentov zlata.
15 Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of YHWH, and in the treasures of the king's house.
Ezekíja mu je dal vse srebro, ki je bilo najdeno v Gospodovi hiši in v zakladnicah kraljeve hiše.
16 At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of YHWH's temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
Ob tistem času je Ezekíja odluščil zlato iz vrat Gospodovega templja in iz stebrov, ki jih je prevlekel Judov kralj Ezekíja in to dal kralju Asirije.
17 The king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the Launderers' Field.
Kralj Asirije je iz Lahíša poslal Tartana, Rabsarísa in Rabšakéja h kralju Ezekíju z veliko vojsko zoper Jeruzalem. Odšli so gor in prišli k Jeruzalemu. In ko so prišli gor, so prišli in obstali pri cevi gornjega ribnika, ki je na glavni cesti pralčevega polja.
18 When they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
Ko so zaklicali h kralju, je ven k njim prišel Hilkijájev sin Eljakím, ki je bil nad družino, pisar Šebná in Asáfov sin Joáh, letopisec.
19 Rabshakeh said to them, "Say now to Hezekiah, 'Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, "What confidence is this in which you trust?
Rabšaké jim je rekel: »Govorite torej Ezekíju: ›Tako govori veliki kralj, kralj Asirije: ›Kakšno zaupanje je to, v katero zaupaš?
20 Do you think that empty words are strategy and power for war? Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
Ti praviš (toda to so samo prazne besede): › Imam nasvet in moč za vojno. Komu odslej zaupaš, da si se uprl zoper mene?
21 Now, look, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
Torej glej, ti zaupaš v palico iz poškodovanega trsta, v Egipt, na katerega, če se človek nasloni, se bo ta zadrl v njegovo roko in jo prebodel. Tako je faraon, egiptovski kralj, vsem tem, ki zaupajo vanj.
22 But if you tell me, 'We trust in YHWH our God;' isn't that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, 'You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?'
Toda če mi rečete: ›Zaupamo v Gospoda, svojega Boga, ‹ mar ni to on, katerega visoke kraje in katerega oltarje je Ezekíja odstranil ter rekel Judu in Jeruzalemu: ›Pred tem oltarjem boste oboževali v Jeruzalemu.‹
23 Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
Zdaj torej, prosim te, daj jamstva mojemu gospodu, asirskemu kralju, jaz pa ti bom izročil dva tisoč konjev, če boš na svoji strani zmožen nanje postaviti jezdece.
24 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Kako potem hočeš odvrniti obraz enega poveljnika izmed najmanjših služabnikov mojega gospodarja in svoje zaupanje položiti v Egipt zaradi bojnih vozov in konjenikov?
25 Have I now come up without YHWH against this place to destroy it? YHWH said to me, 'Go up against this land, and destroy it.'"'"
Sem mar brez Gospoda prišel gor zoper ta kraj, da ga uničim? Gospod mi je rekel: ›Pojdi gor zoper to deželo in jo uniči.‹«
26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, "Please speak to your servants in the Aramaic language; for we understand it. Do not speak with us in the Jews' language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall."
Potem so Hilkijájev sin Eljakím, Šebná in Joáh rekli Rabšakéju: »Govori, prosimo te, tvojim služabnikom v sirskem jeziku, kajti mi ga razumemo in ne govori z nami v judovskem jeziku v ušesa ljudstva, ki so na obzidju.«
27 But Rabshakeh said to them, "Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? Hasn't he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?"
Toda Rabšaké jim je rekel: »Ali me ni moj gospodar poslal k tvojemu gospodarju in k tebi, da govorim te besede? Ali me ni poslal k možem, ki sedijo na obzidju, da bodo lahko s teboj jedli svoj iztrebek in pili svoj seč?«
28 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying, "Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Potem je Rabšaké vstal, z močnim glasom zaklical v hebrejskem jeziku in spregovoril, rekoč: »Poslušajte besedo velikega kralja, kralja Asirije,
29 Thus says the king, 'Do not let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of my hand.
tako govori kralj: ›Ne dopustite, da vas Ezekíja zavede, kajti ne bo sposoben, da vas osvobodi iz njegove roke,
30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in YHWH, saying, "YHWH will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."
niti naj vam Ezekíja ne da zaupati v Gospoda, rekoč: › Gospod nas bo zagotovo osvobodil in to mesto ne bo izročeno v roko asirskega kralja.‹
31 Do not listen to Hezekiah.' For thus says the king of Assyria, 'Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern;
Ne prisluhnite Ezekíju, kajti tako govori kralj Asirije: ›Sklenite dogovor z menoj z darilom in pridite ven k meni in potem jejte vsak mož od svoje lastne trte in vsak mož od svojega figovega drevesa in vsak naj pije vodo iz svojega vodnega zbiralnika,
32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live, and not die. Do not listen to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, "YHWH will deliver us."
dokler ne pridem in vas vzamem proč v deželo, podobno vaši lastni deželi, deželo žita in vina, deželo kruha in vinogradov, deželo olivnega olja in medu, da boste lahko živeli in ne umrli in ne prisluhnite Ezekíju, ko vas pregovarja, rekoč: › Gospod nas bo osvobodil.‹
33 Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Mar so katerikoli izmed bogov narodov mogli svojo deželo rešiti iz roke asirskega kralja?
34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Kje so bogovi Hamáta in Arpáda? Kje so bogovi Sefarvájima, Hene in Avája? Mar so Samarijo osvobodili iz moje roke?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that YHWH should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'"
Kdo so tisti izmed vseh bogov dežel, ki so svojo deželo rešili iz moje roke, da bi Gospod rešil Jeruzalem iz moje roke?‹«
36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, "Do not answer him."
Toda ljudstvo je molčalo in mu ni odgovorilo [niti] besede, kajti kraljeva zapoved je bila, rekoč: »Ne odgovarjajte mu.«
37 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told 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.
