Jesajas 36
1 Un notikās ķēniņa Hizkijas četrpadsmitā gadā, tad Sanheribs, Asīrijas ķēniņš, cēlās pret visām stiprām Jūda pilsētām un tās uzņēma.
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up, against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.
2 Un Asīrijas ķēniņš sūtīja Rabzaku no Laķisa uz Jeruzālemi pie ķēniņa Hizkijas ar varen lielu karaspēku, un viņš stāvēja pie augšēja dīķa grāvjiem, vadmalnieka tīruma ceļa malā.
Then did the king of Assyria send Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto King Hezekiah with a heavy force, —and he took his stand by the upper channel of the pool, in the highway of the fuller’s field.
3 Tad pie viņa izgāja nama uzraugs Elijaķims, Hilķijas dēls, un skrīveris Šebna, un kanclers Joaks, Asafa dēls.
And there went out to him—Eliakim son of Hilkiah who was over the household, —and Shebna, the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder.
4 Un Rabzakus uz tiem sacīja: sakāt jel Hizkijam: Tā saka tas lielais ķēniņš, Asīrijas ķēniņš: Kas tas tāds patvērums, uz ko tu paļaujies?
And Rabshakeh said unto them, Pray you say unto Hezekiah, —Thus, saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What is this trust, wherewith thou dost trust?
5 Es saku: tas ir tukšs vārds, ka diezgan esot padoma un spēka uz karu; uz ko tad tu paļaujies, ka tu no manis esi atkritis?
I have said [sayest thou] —they are only words of the lips—Counsel and might have I for the war, —Now, upon whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?
6 Redzi, tu paļaujies uz to salūzušo niedri, uz Ēģipti. Kas uz to atspiežas, tam tā ies rokā un to pārdurs. Tāds ir faraons, Ēģiptes ķēniņš, visiem, kas uz viņu paļaujas.
Lo! thou dost trust on the support of this bruised cane, on Egypt, whereon if a man lean it will enter his hand and lay it open, —So, is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust upon him.
7 Bet ja tu uz mani saki: Mēs paļaujamies uz To Kungu, savu Dievu, - vai tas nav tas pats, kam kalnus un altārus Hizkija ir nopostījis un sacījis uz Jūdu un Jeruzālemi: priekš šī altāra še jums būs pielūgt?
But, if thou shouldst say unto me, In Yahweh our God, do we trust, Then is that not he whose high places and whose altars, Hezekiah hath removed, and said unto Judah and unto Jerusalem, Before this altar, shall ye bow yourselves down?
8 Nu tad, noderi jel ar manu kungu, Asīrijas ķēniņu, un es tev došu divtūkstoš zirgus, ja tev ir jātnieki, ko tiem likt virsū.
Now, therefore, pledge thyself I pray thee with my lord, the king of Assyria, —That I supply thee with two thousand horses, If thou on thy part be able to set riders upon them;
9 Kā tad tu varēsi atsist atpakaļ vienu pašu virsnieku no mana kunga vismazākiem kalpiem? Bet tu paļaujies uz Ēģipti, ratu un jātnieku dēļ.
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one pasha of the least of my lord’s servants? Or hast thou on thy part trusted upon Egypt, for chariots and for horsemen?
10 Vai tad nu es bez Tā Kunga esmu cēlies pret šo zemi, to izpostīt? Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: Celies pret šo zemi un izposti to!
But, now, is it, without Yahweh, that I have come up against this land to destroy it? Yahweh himself, said unto me, Go thou up against this land and destroy it!
11 Tad Elijaķims un Šebna un Joāks sacīja uz Rabzaku: Runā jel ar saviem kalpiem sīriski, mēs to gan protam, un nerunā ar mums jūdiski priekš šo ļaužu ausīm, kas ir uz mūra.
Then said Eliakim, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh—Speak we pray thee unto thy servants in the Syrian language, for we, can, understand, it, —and do not speak unto us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people who are upon the wall.
12 Bet Rabzakus sacīja: Vai mans kungs mani sūtījis pie tava kunga un pie tevis, šos vārdus runāt, vai ne pie tiem vīriem, kas sēž uz mūra, kam līdz ar jums būs jāēd savi sūdi un jādzer savi mīzali?
But Rabshakeh said—Is it unto thy lord and unto thee, that my lord hath sent me, to speak these things? Is it not concerning the men who are tarrying upon the wall, that they may eat and drink what cometh from them, with you?
13 Un Rabzakus nostājās un sauca ar stipru balsi jūdiski un sacīja: klausāties tā lielā ķēniņa, Asīrijas ķēniņa, vārdus!
So then Rabshakeh took his stand, and cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria:
14 Tā saka ķēniņš: Lai Hizkija jūs neapmāna, jo viņš jūs nevarēs izglābt.
Thus, saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you, —for he shall not be able to deliver you.
15 Lai arī Hizkija jums nedara cerību uz To Kungu, sacīdams: tiešām, Tas Kungs mūs izglābs, šī pilsēta netaps dota Asīrijas ķēniņa rokā!
Neither let Hezekiah cause you to trust in Yahweh saying, Yahweh, will certainly deliver, us, —this city shall not be given over, into the hand of the king of Assyria.
16 Neklausāties uz Hizkiju. Jo tā saka Asīrijas ķēniņš: Deriet ar mani mieru un nākat pie manis ārā, tad ikviens ēdīs no sava vīna koka un ikviens no sava vīģes koka, un ikviens dzers ūdeni no savas akas,
Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, —for, thus, saith the king of Assyria, Deal with me thankfully, and come out unto me, Then shall ye eat, Every one of his own vine and Every one of his own fig-tree, And drink every one the Waters of his own cistern:
17 Kamēr es nākšu, un jūs aizvedīšu tādā zemē, kā jūsu zeme, zeme, kur ir labība un vīns, zeme, kur ir maize un vīna dārzi.
Until I come and take you, into A land like your own land, —A land of corn and new wine, A land of bread and vineyards: —
18 Lai Hizkija jūs nepieviļ, sacīdams: Tas Kungs mūs izglābs! Vai gan pagānu dievi ikviens savu zemi izglābuši no Asīrijas ķēniņa rokas?
Lest Hezekiah, persuade you, saying, Yahweh will deliver us! Have the gods of the nations, delivered, —any one of them—his country, out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
19 Kur ir Hamatas un Arpadas dievi, kur ir Sefarvaimas dievi? Vai tie gan Samariju izglābuši no manas rokas?
Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? If indeed they had only delivered Samaria, out of my hand!
20 Kurš no visiem šo zemju dieviem savu zemi izglābis no manas rokas? Kā tad Tas Kungs Jeruzālemi izglābs no manas rokas?
Who are they, among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand? That, Yahweh, should deliver, Jerusalem, out of my hand!
21 Bet tie cieta klusu un viņam neatbildēja neviena vārda, jo ķēniņš bija pavēlējis un sacījis: Jums nebūs viņam atbildēt.
But they held their peace, and answered him not a word, —for the command of the king, it was, saying, —Ye must not answer him.
22 Tad nama uzraugs Elijaķims, Hilķijas dēls, un skrīveris Šebna un kanclers Joaks, Asafa dēls, nāca pie Hizkijas ar saplēstām drēbēm un viņam stāstīja Rabzakus vārdus.
Then came in—Eliakim son of Hilkiah who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the recorder, unto Hezekiah, with rent clothes, —and they told him the words of Rabshakeh.
