Isaiah 36
1 When King Hezekiah had been [ruling Judah] for almost 14 years, King Sennacherib of Assyria came [with his army] to attack the cities in Judah that had walls around them. [They did not conquer Jerusalem, but] they conquered all the other cities.
Stalo se pak čtrnáctého léta kralování Ezechiášova, přitáhl Senacherib král Assyrský proti všechněm městům Judským hrazeným, a zdobýval jich.
2 Then the king of Assyria sent a large army with some of his important officials from Lachish [city] to [persuade] King Hezekiah [to surrender]. When they arrived at Jerusalem, they stood in their positions alongside the aqueduct/channel in which water flows into the upper pool [into Jerusalem], near the road to the field where the women wash clothes.
I poslal král Assyrský Rabsaka z Lachis do Jeruzaléma k králi Ezechiášovi s vojskem velikým. Kterýž se postavil u struhy rybníka hořejšího, při silnici pole valchářova.
3 The Israeli officials who went out of the city to talk with them were Hilkiah’s son Eliakim, the (palace administrator/man who supervised the workers in the palace), Shebna the king’s secretary, and Asaph’s son Joah, who wrote down the government decisions.
Tedy vyšel k němu Eliakim syn Helkiášův, kterýž byl správce domu, a Sobna písař, a Joach syn Azafův, kancléř.
4 Then one of Sennacherib’s important officials told them to take this message to Hezekiah: This is what the King of Assyria, the great king, says: “What are you trusting in to rescue you?
I mluvil k nim Rabsaces: Povězte medle Ezechiášovi: Toto praví král veliký, král Assyrský: Jakéž jest to doufání, na kterémž se zakládáš?
5 You say that you have weapons to fight us and some country’s promises [to help you], [and that will enable you to defeat us], but that is only talk [RHQ]. Who do you think will help you to rebel against my [soldiers from Assyria]?
Řekl jsem: Jistě žeť jest věc daremní; radyť jest a síly k válce potřebí. A protož v koho doufáš, že mi se protivíš?
6 Listen to me! You are relying on [the army of] Egypt. But [that will be like] [MET] using a broken reed for a walking stick on which you could lean. [But] it would pierce the hand of anyone who would lean on it! That is what the King of Egypt would be like for anyone who relied on him [for help].
Aj, spolehl jsi na hůl třtiny té nalomené, na Egypt, na niž zpodepřel-li by se kdo, pronikne ruku jeho, a probodne ji. Takovýť jest Farao král Egyptský všechněm, kteříž v něm doufají.
7 But perhaps you will say to me, ‘[No], we are relying on Yahweh our God [to help us].’ [I would reply], ‘Is he not the one whom [you insulted by] tearing down his shrines and altars and forcing everyone in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah to worship [only] in front of the altar [in Jerusalem]?’
Pakli mi díš: V Hospodinu Bohu svém doufáme: zdaliž on není ten, jehož pobořil Ezechiáš výsosti i oltáře, a přikázal Judovi a Jeruzalému, řka: Před tímto oltářem klaněti se budete?
8 So I suggest that you make a deal with my master/boss, the king of Assyria. I will give you 2,000 horses, but [I do not think that] you can find 2,000 of your men who can ride on them!
Ale nu, potkej se medle se pánem mým králem Assyrským. Přidámť ještě dva tisíce koní, můžeš-li jen míti, kdo by na nich jeli.
9 You are expecting the king of Egypt to send chariots and men riding horses [to assist you]. But they certainly would not [RHQ] be able to resist/defeat even the most insignificant/unimportant official in the army of Assyria!
Jakž tedy odoláš jednomu knížeti z nejmenších služebníků pána mého, ačkoli máš doufání v Egyptu pro vozy a jezdce?
10 Furthermore, [do not think that] [RHQ] we have come here to attack and destroy this land without Yahweh’s orders! It is Yahweh himself who told us to come here and destroy this land!”
Přesto, zdali jsem bez Hospodina přitáhl do země této, abych ji zkazil? Hospodin řekl mi: Táhni na tu zemi, a zkaz ji.
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the official from Assyria, “Please speak to us in [your] Aramaic language, because we understand it. Do not speak to us in [our] Hebrew language, because the people who are standing on the wall will understand it [and become frightened].”
I řekl Eliakim a Sobna a Joach Rabsakovi: Mluv medle k služebníkům svým Syrsky, však rozumíme, a nemluv k nám Židovsky před lidem tímto, kterýž jest na zdech.
12 But the official replied, “Do you think that my master sent me to say these things [only] to you, and not to the people standing on the wall [RHQ]? [If you reject this message], the [people in this city] will soon need to eat their own dung and drink their own urine, just like you will, [because there will be nothing more for you to eat or drink].”
I odpověděl Rabsaces: Zdaliž ku pánu tvému a k tobě poslal mne pán můj, abych mluvil slova tato? Však k mužům těm, kteříž jsou na zdech, aby lejna svá jedli, a moč svůj spolu s vámi pili.
13 Then the official stood up and shouted in the Hebrew language [to the people sitting on the wall]. He said, “Listen to this message from the great king, the King of Assyria!
A tak stoje Rabsaces, volal hlasem velikým Židovsky, a řekl: Slyšte slova krále velikého, krále Assyrského:
14 He says, ‘Do not allow Hezekiah to deceive you! He will not be able to rescue you!
Toto praví král: Nechť vás nesvodí Ezechiáš, neboť nebude moci vyprostiti vás.
15 Do not allow him to persuade you to trust in Yahweh, saying that Yahweh will rescue you, and that [the army of] the King of Assyria will never capture this city!’
A nechť vám nevelí Ezechiáš doufati v Hospodina, řka: Zajisté vysvobodí nás Hospodin, a nebudeť dáno město toto v ruku krále Assyrského.
16 Do not pay attention to what Hezekiah says! This is what the king [of Assyria] says: ‘Come out of the city and surrender to me. [If you do that, I will arrange for] each of you to drink the juice from your own grapevines and to eat figs from your own trees, and to drink water from your own well.
Neposlouchejte Ezechiáše. Nebo takto praví král Assyrský: Učiňte mi to k líbosti, a vyjděte ke mně, i bude moci jísti jeden každý z vinice své, a jeden každý z fíku svého, a píti jeden každý vodu z čisterny své,
17 [You will be able to do that] until we come and take you to a land that is like your land—a land where there is grain to make bread and [vineyards to produce grapes for making] new wine and, and where we make lots of bread.’
Dokudž nepřijdu, a nepoberu vás do země podobné zemi vaší, do země úrodné, země chleba a vinic.
18 Do not allow Hezekiah to mislead you by saying, “Yahweh will rescue us.” The gods that people of other nations worship have never [RHQ] rescued any of them from the power [MTY] of the King of Assyria!
Nechť vás nesvodí Ezechiáš, řka: Hospodin vysvobodí nás. Zdaliž mohli vysvoboditi bohové národů jeden každý zemi svou z ruky krále Assyrského?
19 Why were the gods of Hamath and Arpad [cities], and the gods of Sepharvaim unable to rescue Samaria from my power [MTY]?
Kde jsou bohové Emat a Arfad? Kde jsou bohové Sefarvaim? Zdaliž jsou vysvobodili i Samaří z ruky mé?
20 No, no god [RHQ] of any nation has been able to rescue their people from me. So why do you think that Yahweh will rescue you people of Jerusalem from my power [MTY]?’”
Kteří jsou mezi všemi bohy těch zemí, ješto by vysvobodili zemi svou z ruky mé? Aby pak Hospodin měl vysvoboditi Jeruzalém z ruky mé?
21 But the people [who were listening] were silent. No one said anything, because King [Hezekiah] had commanded, “[When the official from Assyria talks to you], do not answer him.”
Oni pak mlčeli, a neodpověděli jemu slova. Nebo takové bylo rozkázaní královo, řkoucí: Neodpovídejte jemu.
22 Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah returned to Hezekiah with their clothes torn [because they were extremely distressed]. They told him what the official from Assyria had said.
I přišel Eliakim syn Helkiášův, kterýž byl správcím domu, a Sobna písař, a Joach syn Azafův, kancléř, k Ezechiášovi, majíce roucha roztržená, a oznámili jemu slova Rabsakova.
