Isaija 36

1 Èetrnaeste godine carovanja Jezekijina podiže se Senahirim car Asirski na sve tvrde gradove Judine, i uze ih.

Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.

2 I posla car Asirski Ravsaka iz Lahisa u Jerusalim k caru Jezekiji s velikom vojskom; i on stade kod jaza gornjega jezera na putu kod polja bjeljareva.

And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.

3 Tada izide k njemu Elijakim sin Helkijin, koji bijaše nad dvorom, i Somna pisar i Joah sin Asafov pametar.

Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.

4 I reèe im Ravsak: kažite Jezekiji: ovako kaže veliki car, car Asirski: kakva je to uzdanica u koju se uzdaš?

And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?

5 Da reèem, ali su prazne rijeèi, da imaš svjeta i sile za rat. U što se dakle uzdaš, te si se odmetnuo od mene?

I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

6 Gle, uzdaš se u štap od trske slomljene, u Misir, na koji ako se ko nasloni, uæi æe mu u ruku i probošæe je; taki je Faraon car Misirski svjema koji se uzdaju u nj.

Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.

7 Ako li mi reèeš: uzdamo se u Gospoda Boga svojega; nije li to onaj èije je visine i oltare oborio Jezekija i zapovjedio Judi i Jerusalimu: pred ovijem oltarom klanjajte se?

But if thou say to me, We trust in YHWH our Elohim: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?

8 Hajde zateci se mojemu gospodaru caru Asirskom, i daæu ti dvije tisuæe konja, ako možeš dobaviti koji æe jahati.

Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

9 Kako æeš dakle odbiti i jednoga vojvodu izmeðu najmanjih slugu gospodara mojega? Ali se ti uzdaš u Misir za kola i konjike.

How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

10 Svrh toga, eda li sam ja bez Gospoda došao na ovo mjesto da ga zatrem? Gospod mi je rekao: idi na tu zemlju, i zatri je.

And am I now come up without YHWH against this land to destroy it? YHWH said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

11 Tada Elijakim i Somna i Joah rekoše Ravsaku: govori slugama svojim Sirski, jer razumijemo, a nemoj nam govoriti Judejski da sluša narod na zidu.

Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

12 A Ravsak reèe: eda li me je gospodar moj poslao ka gospodaru tvojemu ili k tebi da kažem ove rijeèi? nije li k tijem ljudima, što sjede na zidu, da jedu svoju neèist i da piju svoju mokraæu s vama?

But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

13 Tada stade Ravsak i povika iza glasa Judejski i reèe: èujte rijeèi velikoga cara Asirskoga.

Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.

14 Ovako kaže car: nemojte da vas vara Jezekija, jer vas ne može izbaviti.

Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.

15 Nemojte da vas nagovori Jezekija da se pouzdate u Gospoda, govoreæi: Gospod æe nas izbaviti, ovaj se grad neæe dati u ruke caru Asirskom.

Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in YHWH, saying, YHWH will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

16 Ne slušajte Jezekije; jer ovako kaže car Asirski: uèinite mir sa mnom i hodite k meni, pa jedite svaki sa svoga èokota i svaki sa svoje smokve, i pijte svaki iz svojega studenca,

Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;

17 Dokle ne doðem i odnesem vas u zemlju kao što je vaša, u zemlju obilnu žitom i vinom, u zemlju obilnu hljebom i vinogradima.

Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

18 Nemojte da vas vara Jezekija govoreæi: Gospod æe nas izbaviti. Je li koji izmeðu bogova drugih naroda izbavio svoju zemlju iz ruke cara Asirskoga?

Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, YHWH will deliver us. Hath any of the elohim of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

19 Gdje su bogovi Ematski i Arfadski? gdje su bogovi Sefarvimski? jesu li izbavili Samariju iz mojih ruku?

Where are the elohim of Hamath and Arphad? where are the elohim of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

20 Koji su izmeðu svijeh bogova ovijeh zemalja izbavili zemlju svoju iz moje ruke? a Gospod æe izbaviti Jerusalim iz moje ruke?

Who are they among all the elohim of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that YHWH should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

21 Ali oni muèahu, i ne odgovoriše mu ni rijeèi, jer car bješe zapovjedio i rekao: ne odgovarajte mu.

But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

22 Tada Elijakim sin Helkijin, koji bijaše nad dvorom, i Somna pisar i Joah sin Asafov, pametar, doðoše k Jezekiji razdrvši haljine, i kazaše mu rijeèi Ravsakove.

Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
