Izaija 37
1 Pripetilo se je, ko je kralj Ezekíja to slišal, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila, se pokril z vrečevino in odšel v Gospodovo hišo.
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
2 Poslal je Eljakíma, ki je bil nad družino, pisarja Šebná in starešine duhovnikov, pokrite z vrečevino, k preroku Izaiju, Amócovemu sinu.
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 Rekli so mu: »Tako govori Ezekíja: ›Ta dan je dan stiske, graje in bogokletja, kajti otroci so prišli do rojstva in tam ni moči za porod.
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Morda bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, slišal besede Rabšakéja, ki ga je poslal asirski kralj, njegov gospodar, da kara živega Boga in bo pograjal besede, ki jih je slišal Gospod, tvoj Bog. Zatorej dvigni svojo molitev za ostanek, ki je ostal.«
It may be Jehovah thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy 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.
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith Jehovah, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Glej, nanj bom poslal sunek [duha] in slišal bo govorico in se vrnil v svojo lastno deželo in povzročil mu bom, da v svoji lastni deželi pade pod mečem.‹«
Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return unto his own land; and 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 odpotoval iz Lahíša.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 Slišal je reči glede Tirháka, kralja Etiopije: »Prišel je naprej, da se vojskuje s teboj.« In ko je ta to slišal, je poslal poslance k Ezekíju, rekoč:
And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come out to fight against thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 »Tako govorite Judovemu kralju Ezekíju, rekoč: ›Ne dopusti, da te tvoj Bog, v katerega zaupaš, zavede, rekoč: ›Jeruzalem ne bo izročen v roko asirskega kralja.‹
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall 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, pa boš ti osvobojen?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
12 Mar so bogovi narodov osvobodili 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 children 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 Ezekíja je prejel pismo iz roke poslancev ter ga prebral in Ezekíja je odšel gor v Gospodovo hišo in ga razprostrl pred Gospodom.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
15 In Ezekíja je molil h Gospodu, rekoč:
And Hezekiah prayed unto Jehovah, saying,
16 »Oh Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, ki prebivaš med kerubi, ti si Bog, celó ti sam, izmed vseh kraljestev zemlje. Ti si naredil nebo in zemljo.
O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, that sittest [above] the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
17 Nagni svoje uho, oh Gospod in prisluhni; odpri svoje oči, oh Gospod in glej in poslušaj vse besede Senaheriba, ki jih je poslal, da graja živega Boga.
Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to defy the living God.
18 Resnično, Gospod, asirski kralji so opustošili vse narode in njihove dežele
Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the countries, and their land,
19 in njihove bogove vrgli v ogenj, kajti to 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.
20 Zdaj torej, oh Gospod, naš Bog, reši nas pred njegovo roko, da bodo vsa kraljestva zemlje lahko vedela, da si ti Gospod, celó samo ti.«
Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Jehovah, even thou only.
21 Potem je Izaija, Amócov sin, poslal k Ezekíju, rekoč: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Kakor si molil k meni zoper asirskega kralja Senaheriba;
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
22 to je beseda, ki jo je Gospod spregovoril glede njega: ›Devica, sionska hči, te je prezirala in se ti smejala do zaničevanja, jeruzalemska hči je nad teboj zmajevala z glavo.
this is the word which Jehovah hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
23 Koga si grajal in proti komu si izrekal bogokletje? Zoper koga si povišal svoj glas in svoje oči povzdignil na višavo? Celó zoper Svetega Izraelovega.
Whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even] against the Holy One of Israel.
24 S svojimi služabniki si grajal Gospoda in rekel: ›Z množico svojih bojnih vozov sem prišel gor do višin gora, k pobočjem Libanona in posekal bom njegove visoke cedre in izbrane ciprese in vstopil bom v višino njegove meje in gozd njegovega Karmela.
By thy servants hast thou defied the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof; and I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field;
25 Kopál sem in pil vodo in s podplatom svojega stopala sem posušil vse reke obleganih krajev.
I have digged and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
26 Mar nisi že dolgo nazaj slišal, kako sem to storil in od starodavnih časov, da sem to oblikoval? Sedaj sem privedel, da se je to zgodilo, da bi moral položiti opustela obrambna mesta v kupe ruševin.
Hast thou not 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 thine to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
27 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 as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as a field [of grain] before it is grown up.
28 Toda jaz poznam tvoje prebivališče, tvoje odhajanje, tvoje prihajanje in tvoj bes zoper mene.
But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
29 Ker je tvoj bes zoper mene in je tvoj hrup prišel gor v moja ušesa, zato bom zataknil svoj kavelj v tvoj nos in svojo brzdo med tvoje ustnice in te obrnil nazaj po poti, po kateri si prišel.
Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
30 To ti bo znamenje: › To leto boste jedli kar zraste samo od sebe in drugo leto to, kar požene od istega, v tretjem letu pa sejte, žanjite, sadite vinograde in jejte od njihovega sadu.
And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31 Preostanek od Judove hiše, ki je pobegnil, se bo ponovno ukoreninil navzdol in navzgor obrodil sad.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32 Kajti iz Jeruzalema bo izšel preostanek in tisti, ki pobegnejo z gore Sion. Gorečnost Gospoda nad bojevniki bo to storila.‹
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
33 Zato tako govori Gospod glede asirskega kralja: ›Ta ne bo prišel v to mesto, niti tja ne bo izstrelil puščice, niti predenj ne bo prišel s ščiti, niti zoper njega ne bo nasul okopa.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
34 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 unto this city, saith Jehovah.
35 ›Kajti jaz bom branil to mesto, da ga rešim zaradi sebe in zaradi svojega služabnika Davida.‹«
For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36 Potem je odšel naprej Gospodov angel in jih v taboru Asircev udaril sto petinosemdeset tisoč. Ko so zgodaj zjutraj vstali, glej, oni vsi so bili mrtva trupla.
And the angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
37 Tako je asirski kralj Senaherib odpotoval, odšel, se vrnil in prebival v Ninivah.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
38 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 in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Asarhadón.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
