2 Kralji 19
1 Pripetilo se je, ko je kralj Ezekíja to slišal, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila, se pokril z vrečevino in odšel v Gospodovo hišo.
It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
2 Poslal je Eljakíma, ki je bil nad družino, pisarja Šebná in starešine izmed duhovnikov, pokrite z vrečevino, k preroku Izaiju, Amócovemu sinu.
He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 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.
They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of trouble, of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them.
4 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.‹«
It may be the LORD your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.'"
5 Tako so služabniki kralja Ezekíja prišli k Izaiju.
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 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.
Isaiah said to them, "Thus you shall tell your master, 'Thus says the LORD, "Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 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.‹«
Look, I will put a spirit in him, and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land."'"
8 Tako se je Rabšaké vrnil in našel asirskega kralja, vojskujočega se zoper Libno, kajti slišal je, da je ta odšel iz Lahíša.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 Ko je slišal o etiopskem kralju Tirháku govoriti: »Glej, prišel je ven, da se bojuje zoper tebe, « je ponovno poslal poslance k Ezekíju, rekoč:
When he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, "Look, he has come out to fight against you," he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
10 »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.‹
'Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, "Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Glej, slišal si kaj so asirski kralji storili vsem deželam z njihovim popolnim uničenjem. In ti boš rešen?
Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Will you be delivered?
12 Mar so bogovi narodov rešili tiste, ki so jih moji očetje uničili; kakor Gozána, Harána, Recefa in otroke Edena, ki so bili v Telasárju?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the people of Eden that were in Telassar?
13 Kje je kralj Hamáta, kralj Arpáda in kralj mesta Sefarvájima, Hene in Avája?«
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?"'"
14 In Ezekíja je prejel pismo iz roke poslancev ter ga prebral. Ezekíja je odšel gor v Gospodovo hišo in ga razgrnil pred Gospodom.
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
15 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.
Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, "The LORD, the God of Israel, who sit above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
16 Gospod, nagni svoje uho in prisluhni, odpri, Gospod, svoje oči. Poglej in poslušaj besede Senaheriba, ki ga je poslal, da graja živega Boga.
Incline your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib, with which he has sent to defy the living God.
17 Resnično Gospod, sirski kralji so uničili narode in njihove dežele,
Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
18 njihove bogove so vrgli v ogenj, kajti le-ti niso bili bogovi, temveč delo človeških rok, les in kamen. Zato so jih uničili.
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.
19 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.«
Now therefore, the LORD our God, save us, I beg you, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, LORD, are God alone."
20 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.
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard you.
21 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.
This is the word that the LORD has spoken concerning him: "The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
22 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.
Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
23 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.
By your messengers you have defied the LORD, and have said, 'With the multitude of my chariots, I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees; and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
24 Kopál sem, pil tuje vode in s podplatom svojega stopala sem posušil vse reke obleganih krajev.‹
I have dug and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.'
25 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?
Haven't you heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now have I brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
26 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.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the rooftops when it is scorched by the east wind.
27 Toda poznam tvoje prebivališče, tvoj izhod, tvoj prihod in tvoje besnenje zoper mene.
But I know your sitting down, and your going out, and your coming in, and your raging against me.
28 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.
Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came."
29 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.
"'This shall be the sign to you: You shall eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs of the same; and in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat its fruit.
30 Preostanek, ki je pobegnil iz Judove hiše, se bo še enkrat ukoreninil navzdol in prinašal sad navzgor.
The remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 Kajti iz Jeruzalema bo izšel preostanek in z gore Sion tisti, ki pobegnejo. Gorečnost Gospoda nad bojevniki bo to storila.‹
For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and out of Mount Zion those who shall escape. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.'
32 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.
"Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, 'He shall not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
33 Po poti, po kateri je prišel, po isti se bo vrnil in ne bo prišel v to mesto, ‹ govori Gospod.
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come to this city,' says the LORD.
34 ›Kajti branil bom to mesto, da ga rešim zaradi sebe in zaradi svojega služabnika Davida.‹«
'For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.'"
35 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.
It happened that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and struck one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, look, these were all dead bodies.
36 Tako je asirski kralj Senaherib odpotoval, odšel, se vrnil in prebival v Ninivah.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and lived at Nineveh.
37 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.
It happened, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
