2 Kings 19
1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went 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, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet, the 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 said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength 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 the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
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 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Tako so služabniki kralja Ezekíja prišli k Izaiju.
6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have 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 Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own 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 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring 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 ta odšel iz Lahíša.
9 And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto 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 shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
»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, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
Glej, slišal si kaj so asirski kralji storili vsem deželam z njihovim popolnim uničenjem. In ti boš rešen?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Edom which were in Telassar?
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, of Hena, and Ivvah?
Kje je kralj Hamáta, kralj Arpáda in kralj mesta Sefarvájima, Hene in Avája?«
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
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 prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD, the God of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and 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 thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath 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 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
Resnično Gospod, sirski kralji so uničili narode in njihove dežele,
18 and have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed 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 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save thou us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
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 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard [thee].
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 the LORD hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
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 hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even] 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 thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
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 digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
Kopál sem, pil tuje vode in s podplatom svojega stopala sem posušil vse reke obleganih krajev.‹
25 Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
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 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown 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 But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
Toda poznam tvoje prebivališče, tvoj izhod, tvoj prihod in tvoje besnenje zoper mene.
28 Because of thy raging against me, and for that thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
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 shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
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 the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Preostanek, ki je pobegnil iz Judove hiše, se bo še enkrat ukoreninil navzdol in prinašal sad navzgor.
31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape: the zeal of the LORD shall perform this.
Kajti iz Jeruzalema bo izšel preostanek in z gore Sion tisti, ki pobegnejo. Gorečnost Gospoda nad bojevniki bo to storila.‹
32 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mount 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 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith the LORD.
Po poti, po kateri je prišel, po isti se bo vrnil in ne bo prišel v to mesto, ‹ govori Gospod.
34 For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
›Kajti branil bom to mesto, da ga rešim zaradi sebe in zaradi svojega služabnika Davida.‹«
35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all 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 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Tako je asirski kralj Senaherib odpotoval, odšel, se vrnil in prebival v Ninivah.
37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned 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.
