¹Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

¹A stalo sa v treťom roku Hozeu, syna Élu, izraelského kráľa, že začal kraľovať Ezechiáš, syn Achaza, judského kráľa.

²Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.

²Dvadsaťpäť rokov mal, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval dvadsaťdeväť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Abia, dcéra Zachariášova.

³And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.

³A robil to, čo je spravedlivé v očiach Hospodinových, všetko tak, ako činil Dávid, jeho otec.

⁴He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

⁴On odstránil výšiny, roztrieskal modlárske sochy, vysekal háje a roztĺkol medeného hada, ktorého bol spravil Mojžiš; lebo až do tých dní mu kadili synovia Izraelovi kadivo, a nazval ho Nechuštánom.

⁵He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.

⁵Nadejal sa na Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho, a nebolo po ňom jemu rovného medzi všetkými kráľmi Júdovými ani medzi tými, ktorí boli pred ním.

⁶For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.

⁶Lebo sa pevne držal Hospodina; neuhnul od neho, aby ho nebol nasledoval; a ostríhal jeho prikázania, ktoré prikázal Hospodin Mojžišovi.

⁷And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

⁷A Hospodin bol s ním; všade, kamkoľvek išiel, a čokoľvek konal, rozumne konal a sprotivil sa assýrskemu kráľovi a neslúžil mu.

⁸He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

⁸On porazil Filištínov až po Gazu i jej kraje, a to od veže strážnych až po ohradené mesto.

⁹And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

⁹A stalo sa vo štvrtom roku kráľa Ezechiáša, a to bol siedmy rok Hozeu, syna Élovho, izraelského kráľa, že vyšiel hore Salmanazar, assýrsky kráľ, proti Samárii a obľahol ju.

¹⁰And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is in the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

¹⁰A zaujal ju po troch rokoch, v šiestom roku Ezechiáša, ktorý to rok bol deviatym rokom Hozeu, izraelského kráľa; vtedy bola zaujatá Samária.

¹¹And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:

¹¹A assýrsky kráľ prestehoval Izraela so Assýrie a osadil ich v Chelachu a v Chábore pri rieke Gozane a v médskych mestách,

¹²Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.

¹²pretože neposlúchali na hlas Hospodina, svojho Boha, ale prestupovali jeho smluvu, všetko to, čo prikázal Mojžiš, služobník Hospodinov, a neposlúchali ani nečinili.

¹³Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.

¹³Potom v štrnástom roku kráľa Ezechiáša, vyšiel hore Senacherib, assýrsky kráľ, proti všetkým mestám Júdovým ohradeným a zaujal ich.

¹⁴And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

¹⁴A Ezechiáš, judský kráľ, poslal poslov k assýrskemu kráľovi do Lachiša povediac: Zhrešil som, obráť sa preč odo mňa; to, čo naložíš na mňa, ponesiem. A assýrsky kráľ uložil na Ezechiáša, judského kráľa, tristo hrivien striebra a tridsať hrivien zlata.

¹⁵And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.

¹⁵A Ezechiáš dal všetko striebro, ktoré sa našlo v dome Hospodinovom a v pokladoch domu kráľovho.

¹⁶At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

¹⁶V tom čase olúpal Ezechiáš dvere chrámu Hospodinovho zo zlata i stĺpy, ktoré bol pokryl zlatom sám Ezechiáš, judský kráľ, a dal to assýrskemu kráľovi.

¹⁷And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field.

¹⁷Ale assýrsky kráľ jednako len poslal Tartána a Rab-sarísa a Rabsákeho z Lachiša ku kráľovi Ezechiášovi s velikým vojskom do Jeruzalema. A odíduc hore prišli k Jeruzalemu a vyjdúc hore prišli a zastáli pri struhe horného rybníka, ktorá je pri hradskej poľa valchárovho.

¹⁸And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

¹⁸A keď volali na kráľa, vyšiel k nim Elijakim, syn Hilkiášov, ktorý bol nad domom, a Šebna, pisár, a Joach, syn Azafov, kancelár.

¹⁹And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?

¹⁹A Rabsáke im povedal: Nože povedzte Ezechiášovi: Takto hovorí ten veľký kráľ, assýrsky kráľ: Akáže je to nádej, na ktorú sa nadeješ?

²⁰Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

²⁰Povedal si iba slovo rtov, a to má byť rada a sila do boja! Na koho sa teraz nadeješ, že si sa mi sprotivil?

²¹Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.

²¹Teraz hľa, spoľahol si sa na tú trstenú palicu nalomenú, na Egypt, ktorá, keď sa niekto oprie na ňu, vojde do jeho ruky a prebodne ju: taký je faraon, egyptský kráľ, všetkým, ktorí sa nadejú na neho.

²²But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

²²A keď mi poviete: Na Hospodina, svojho Boha, sa nadejeme! Či nie je to ten istý, ktorého výšiny odstránil Ezechiáš i jeho oltáre, a riekol Júdovi a Jeruzalemu: Pred týmto oltárom sa budete klaňať v Jeruzaleme!?

²³Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

²³A teraz nože závoď s mojím pánom, s assýrskym kráľom, a dám ti dva tisíce koní, ak si môžeš dať na ne jazdcov.

²⁴How 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?

²⁴A jako potom odvrátiš tvár jediného vojvodcu, niektorého z najmenších služobníkov môjho pána? Ale pravda spoľahneš sa na Egypt, na vozy a na jazdcov!

²⁵Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

²⁵A krome toho, či som prišiel bez Hospodina hore proti tomuto miestu, aby som ho zkazil? Veď Hospodin mi povedal: Vyjdi hore proti tej zemi a zkaz ju!

²⁶Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

²⁶Na to riekol Elijakim, syn Hilkiášov, a Šebna a Joach Rabsákemu: Hovor, prosíme, svojim služobníkom sýrsky, lebo veď rozumieme, a nehovor s nami židovsky pred ľudom, ktorý je na múre!

²⁷But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

²⁷Ale Rabsáke im povedal: A či azda proti tvojmu pánovi a k tebe ma poslal môj pán, aby som vám hovoril tieto slová? A či nie proti mužom, ktorí sedia na múre, aby jedli svoje vlastné lajná a pili svoj vlastný moč i spolu s vami?

²⁸Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:

²⁸Potom sa postavil Rabsáke a volal veľkým hlasom židovsky, hovoril a riekol: Počujte slovo toho veľkého kráľa, assýrskeho kráľa!

²⁹Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

²⁹Takto hovorí kráľ: Nech vás neklame Ezechiáš! Lebo vás nebude môcť vytrhnúť z jeho ruky!

³⁰Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

³⁰Ani nech vás nenahovorí Ezechiáš nadejať sa na Hospodina hovoriac: Istotne nás vytrhne Hospodin, a nebude vydané toto mesto do ruky assýrskeho kráľa.

³¹Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:

³¹Nepočúvajte na Ezechiáša, lebo takto hovorí assýrsky kráľ: Učiňte so mnou mier a nadobudnite požehnanie a tak vyjdite ku mne a jedzte každý zo svojho viniča a každý zo svojho fíka a pite každý vodu zo svojej studne,

³²Until 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, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.

³²dokiaľ neprijdem a nepoberiem si vás do zeme, podobnej vašej zemi, do zeme obilia a vína, do zeme chleba a viníc, do zeme olív, vydávajúcich dobrý olej, a medu, a žite a nepomrite! Ale nepočúvajte na Ezechiáša, lebo vás zvodí hovoriac: Hospodin nás vytrhne.

³³Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

³³Či azda vytrhli bohovia národov každý svoju zem z ruky assýrskeho kráľa?

³⁴Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?

³⁴Kde sú bohovia Chamatu a Arpádu? Kde bohovia Sefarvajima, Hény a Ivvy, aby boli vytrhli Samáriu z mojej ruky?!

³⁵Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?

³⁵Ktorí sú to medzi všetkými bohmi tých zemí, ktorí by boli vytrhli svoju zem z mojej ruky, aby Hospodin vytrhol Jeruzalem z mojej ruky?

³⁶But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

³⁶A ľud mlčal, a neodpovedali mu ani slova, lebo to bol rozkaz kráľov, ktorý povedal: Neodpovedajte mu!

³⁷Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which 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.

³⁷Potom prišiel Elijakim, syn Hilkiášov, ktorý bol nad domom, i Šebna, pisár, i Joach, syn Azafov, kancelár, k Ezechiášovi majúc roztrhnuté rúcho a oznámili mu slová Rabsákeho.
