< 2 Kings 18 >
1 And it cometh to pass, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, reigned hath Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah;
Pripetilo se je torej v tretjem letu Hošéa, Elájevega sina, Izraelovega kralja, da je začel kraljevati Ezekíja, Aházov sin, Judov kralj.
2 a son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Abi 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 And he doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that David his father did,
Delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar je storil njegov oče David.
4 he hath turned aside the high places, and broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cut down the shrine, and beaten down the brazen serpent that Moses made, for unto these days were the sons of Israel making perfume to it, and he calleth it 'a piece of brass.'
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 In Jehovah, God of Israel, he hath trusted, and after him there hath not been like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among any] who 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 and he cleaveth to Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from after Him, and keepeth His commands that Jehovah 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 And Jehovah hath been with him, in every place where he goeth out he acteth wisely, and he rebelleth against the king of Asshur, and hath not served 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 hath smitten the Philistines unto Gaza, and its borders, from a tower of watchers unto the fenced city.
Udaril je Filistejce, celó do Gaze in njenih meja, od stražarskega stolpa, do utrjenega mesta.
9 And it cometh to pass, in the fourth year of king Hezekiah — it [is] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel — come up hath Shalmaneser king of Asshur against Samaria, and layeth siege to 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 and they capture it at the end of three years; in the sixth year of Hezekiah — it [is] the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel — hath Samaria been captureth,
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 and the king of Asshur removeth Israel to Asshur, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor [by] the river Gozan, and [in] 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 that they have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and transgress His covenant — all that He commanded Moses, servant of Jehovah — yea, they have not hearkened nor done [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 And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah hath Sennacherib king of Asshur come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and seizeth them,
Torej v štirinajstem letu kralja Ezekíja je asirski kralj Senaherib prišel gor zoper vsa utrjena Judova mesta in jih zavzel.
14 and Hezekiah king of Judah sendeth unto the king of Asshur to Lachish, saying, 'I have sinned, turn back from off me; that which thou puttest on me I bear;' and the king of Asshur layeth on 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 and Hezekiah giveth all the silver that is found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the house of the king;
Ezekíja mu je dal vse srebro, ki je bilo najdeno v Gospodovi hiši in v zakladnicah kraljeve hiše.
16 at that time hath Hezekiah cut off the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and the pillars that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and giveth them to the king of Asshur.
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 And the king of Asshur sendeth Tartan, and the chief of the eunuchs, and the chief of the butlers, from Lachish, unto king Hezekiah, with a heavy force, to Jerusalem, and they go up and come in to Jerusalem, and they go up, and come in and stand by the conduit of the upper pool that [is] in the highway of the fuller's 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 And they call unto the king, and go out unto them doth Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the remembrancer.
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 And the chief of the butlers saith unto them, 'Say, I pray you, unto Hezekiah, Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur, What [is] this confidence in which thou hast confided?
Rabšaké jim je rekel: »Govorite torej Ezekíju: ›Tako govori veliki kralj, kralj Asirije: ›Kakšno zaupanje je to, v katero zaupaš?
20 Thou hast said: Only a word of the lips! counsel and might [are] for battle; now, on whom hast thou trusted that thou hast 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, lo, thou hast trusted for thee on the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; which a man leaneth on, and it hath gone into his hand, and pierced it! — so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting 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 'And when ye say unto me, Unto Jehovah our God we have trusted, is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath turned aside, and saith to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar do ye bow yourselves 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 'And, now, give a pledge for thee, I pray thee, to my lord the king of Asshur, and I give to thee two thousand horses, if thou art able to give for thee 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 And how dost thou turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, that thou dost trust for thee on Egypt for chariot, 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 Now, without Jehovah have I come up against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up against this land, and thou hast destroyed 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 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah saith — and Shebna, and Joah — to the chief of the butlers, 'Speak, we pray thee, unto thy servants [in] Aramaean, for we are understanding, and do not speak with us [in] Jewish, in the ears 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 And the chief of the butlers saith unto them, 'For thy lord, and unto thee, hath 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 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 And the chief of the butlers standeth and calleth with a great voice [in] Jewish, and speaketh and saith, 'Hear ye a word of the great king, the king of Asshur:
Potem je Rabšaké vstal, z močnim glasom zaklical v hebrejskem jeziku in spregovoril, rekoč: »Poslušajte besedo velikega kralja, kralja Asirije,
29 thus said the king, Let not Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you out of his hand;
tako govori kralj: ›Ne dopustite, da vas Ezekíja zavede, kajti ne bo sposoben, da vas osvobodi iz njegove roke,
30 and let not Hezekiah make you trust unto Jehovah, saying, Jehovah doth certainly deliver us, and this city is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
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 hearken unto Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur, Make with me a blessing, and come out unto me, and eat ye each of his vine, and each of his fig-tree, and drink ye each the waters of his own well,
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 till my coming in, and I have taken you unto a land like your own land, a land of corn and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive, and honey, and live, and die not; and do not hearken unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, Jehovah doth 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 'Have the gods of the nations delivered at all each his land out of the hand of the king of Asshur?
Mar so katerikoli izmed bogov narodov mogli svojo deželo rešiti iz roke asirskega kralja?
34 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah, that they have 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 lands that have delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah doth 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 And the people have kept silent, and have not answered him a word, for the command of the king is, saying, 'Do not answer him.'
Toda ljudstvo je molčalo in mu ni odgovorilo [niti] besede, kajti kraljeva zapoved je bila, rekoč: »Ne odgovarjajte mu.«
37 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, cometh in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the remembrancer, unto Hezekiah, with rent garments, and they declare to him the words of the chief of the butlers.
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.
