¹After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself.

¹Pärast neid sündmusi ja seda osutatud ustavust tuli Assuri kuningas Sanherib ja tungis Juudasse, lõi kindlustatud linnade vastu leeri üles ja mõtles need enesele vallutada.

²And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,

²Kui Hiskija nägi, et Sanherib tuleb ja et tema eesmärgiks on sõdida Jeruusalemma vastu,

³He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him.

³siis ta pidas nõu oma vürstide ja võitlejatega veeallikate sulgemiseks, mis olid väljaspool linna; ja temaga oldi nõus.

⁴So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?

⁴Siis koguti kokku palju rahvast ja nad sulgesid kõik allikad ja jõe, mis maa all voolas, öeldes: 'Miks peaksid Assuri kuningad, kui nad tulevad, leidma nii palju vett?'

⁵Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.

⁵Siis ta kindlustas ennast ja ehitas üles kõik mahakistud müüriosad, ehitas kõrgemaks tornid ja väljapoole veel teise müüri, kindlustas kantsi, Taaveti linna, valmistas palju viskodasid ja kilpe.

⁶And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,

⁶Ja ta seadis rahvale sõjapealikud ning kogus need enese juurde linna värava väljakule ja kõneles neile julgustavalt, öeldes:

⁷Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:

⁷'Olge vahvad ja tugevad, ärge kartke ja ärge kohkuge Assuri kuninga ees ja kogu selle jõugu ees, kes on koos temaga! Sest see, kes on meiega, on suurem kui see, kes on temaga.

⁸With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

⁸Temaga on lihane käsivars, aga meiega on Issand, meie Jumal, meid aitamas ja meie võitlusi võitlemas.' Ja rahvas toetus Juuda kuninga Hiskija sõnadele.

⁹After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,

⁹Pärast seda läkitas Assuri kuningas Sanherib, olles ise kogu oma väega Laakise all, oma sulased Jeruusalemma Juuda kuninga Hiskija juurde ja kogu Jeruusalemmas oleva Juuda juurde ütlema:

¹⁰Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?

¹⁰'Nõnda ütleb Sanherib, Assuri kuningas: Mille peale te loodate, et istute sissepiiratud Jeruusalemmas?

¹¹Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

¹¹Kas mitte Hiskija teid ei ässita, saates teid surema nälga ja janusse, kui ta ütleb: Issand, meie Jumal, päästab meid Assuri kuninga pihust?

¹²Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?

¹²Eks ole Hiskija ise kõrvaldanud tema ohvrikünkad ja altarid ning andnud käsu Juudale ja Jeruusalemmale, öeldes: Te peate kummardama üheainsa altari ees ja suitsutama selle peal?

¹³Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?

¹³Kas te ei tea, mida mina ja mu isad oleme teinud kõigi teiste maade rahvastega? Kas nende maade rahvaste jumalad on suutnud päästa oma maad minu käest?

¹⁴Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?

¹⁴Kes kõigist nende rahvaste jumalaist, kelle mu isad hävitasid, on suutnud päästa oma rahva minu käest? Kuidas siis teie jumal suudab teid päästa minu käest?

¹⁵Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?

¹⁵Ärge siis nüüd laske endid petta Hiskija poolt ega sel viisil ässitada ja ärge uskuge teda, sest mitte ühegi rahva või kuningriigi jumal pole suutnud päästa oma rahvast minu ja mu isade käest, veel vähem siis teie jumal: ei ta päästa teid minu käest!'

¹⁶And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.

¹⁶Ja tema sulased rääkisid veel rohkemgi Issanda Jumala ja tema sulase Hiskija vastu.

¹⁷He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.

¹⁷Ta kirjutas ka kirju Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala teotamiseks ja rääkis tema vastu, öeldes: 'Nõnda nagu muude maade rahvaste jumalad ei päästnud oma rahvast minu käest, nõnda ei päästa ka Hiskija jumal oma rahvast minu käest!'

¹⁸Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.

¹⁸Ja nad hüüdsid valju häälega juudi keeles müüri peal olevale Jeruusalemma rahvale, et neid hirmutada ja kartma panna, et nad siis saaksid linna vallutada.

¹⁹And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.

¹⁹Ja nad rääkisid Jeruusalemma Jumalast nõnda nagu muude maade rahvaste jumalaist, kes olid inimeste kätetöö.

²⁰And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.

²⁰Aga kuningas Hiskija ja prohvet Jesaja, Aamotsi poeg, palvetasid selle pärast ja kisendasid taeva poole.

²¹And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.

²¹Siis Issand läkitas ingli, kes hävitas kõik sõjakangelased, pealikud ja vürstid Assuri kuninga leeris, ja too pidi minema tagasi oma maale, silmad häbi täis. Ja kui ta läks oma jumala kotta, siis ta oma lihased järeltulijad lõid tema seal mõõgaga maha.

²²Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and guided them on every side.

²²Nõnda päästis Issand Hiskija ja Jeruusalemma elanikud Assuri kuninga Sanheribi käest ja kõigi käest ja andis neile rahu ümberkaudu.

²³And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.

²³Ja paljud tõid Jeruusalemma ande Issandale ja kalleid asju Juuda kuningale Hiskijale; ja ta tõusis pärast seda kõigi rahvaste silmis.

²⁴In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.

²⁴Neil päevil jäi Hiskija haigeks ja oli suremas; siis palvetas ta Issanda poole, kes vastas temale ja andis temale tunnustähe.

²⁵But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

²⁵Aga Hiskija ei tasunud heategu, mis temale tehti, vaid ta süda oli ülbe; seepärast oleks viha pidanud tabama teda, Juudat ja Jeruusalemma.

²⁶Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

²⁶Et aga Hiskija oma südame ülbuses ennast alandas, tema ja Jeruusalemma elanikud, siis ei tabanud Issanda viha neid Hiskija päevil.

²⁷And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honor: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels;

²⁷Ja Hiskijal oli väga palju rikkust ning au; ta hankis enesele hõbeda, kulla, kalliskivide, palsamite, kilpide ja igasugu kalliste asjade tagavarasid,

²⁸Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.

²⁸ja varaaitu viljasaagi, veini ja õli tarvis, ja lautu igasugu loomadele ning tarasid karjadele.

²⁹Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.

²⁹Ta ehitas enesele linnu ja tal oli suur kari lambaid, kitsi ja veiseid, sest Jumal andis temale väga suure varanduse.

³⁰This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

³⁰Ja tema, Hiskija, sulges ka Giihoni vete ülemjooksu ja juhtis veed alla lääne poole, Taaveti linna; Hiskijal läks korda kõik, mis ta tegi.

³¹Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.

³¹Ja samuti siis, kui Paabeli vürstide vahemehed olid läkitatud tema juurde küsima tunnustähe asjas, mis maal oli aset leidnud, laskis Jumal teda vabalt toimida, kusjuures ta pani teda proovile, et teada saada kõike, mis tal südames oli.

³²Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

³²Ja muud Hiskija lood ja tema vagad teod, vaata, need on kirja pandud prohvet Jesaja, Aamotsi poja 'Nägemustes', Juuda ja Iisraeli Kuningate raamatus.

³³And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

³³Siis Hiskija läks magama oma vanemate juurde ja ta maeti Taaveti poegade haudade astangule; kogu Juuda ja Jeruusalemma elanikud austasid teda, kui ta oli surnud. Ja tema poeg Manasse sai tema asemel kuningaks.
