¹And 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 the LORD.

¹A stalo sa, keď to počul kráľ Ezechiáš, že roztrhnul svoje rúcho a oblečúc sa smútočnou vrecovinou, vošiel do domu Hospodinovho.

²And he sent Eliakim, which 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.

²A poslal Elijakima, ktorý bol nad domom, a Šebnu, pisára, a starších z kňazov, odiatych vrecovinou, k prorokovi Izaiášovi, synovi Ámosovmu,

³And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

³a riekli mu: Takto hovorí Ezechiáš: Tento deň je dňom súženia, karhania a posmechu; lebo synovia prišli až k prielomu, ale niet sily porodiť.

⁴It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.

⁴Možno, že počuje Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, všetky slová Rabsákeho, ktorého poslal assýrsky kráľ, jeho pán, aby sa rúhal živému Bohu, a pokára ho za slová, ktoré počul Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, a preto povznes modlitbu za ostatok, ktorý sa ešte nachádza.

⁵So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

⁵A tak prišli služobníci kráľa Ezechiáša k Izaiášovi.

⁶And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

⁶A Izaiáš im povedal: Takto poviete svojmu pánovi: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Neboj sa slov, ktoré si počul, ktorými obrážali sluhovia assýrskeho kráľa mňa.

⁷Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumor, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

⁷Hľa, ja dám do neho ducha, aby počul zvesť a navrátil sa do svojej zeme, a spôsobím to, aby padnul od meča vo svojej zemi.

⁸So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.

⁸A Rabsáke sa navrátil a našiel assýrskeho kráľa bojovať proti Libne, lebo počul, že odišiel od Lachiša.

⁹And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,

⁹A keď počul o Tirhákovi, ethiopskom kráľovi, že hovorili: Hľa, vyšiel, aby bojoval s tebou! zase poslal poslov k Ezechiášovi s týmito slovami:

¹⁰Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

¹⁰Takto poviete Ezechiášovi, judskému kráľovi: Nech ťa neklame tvoj Bôh, na ktorého sa nadeješ, hovoriac: Nebude vydaný Jeruzalem do ruky assýrskeho kráľa!

¹¹Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?

¹¹Lebo hľa, ty si počul o tom, čo urobili assýrski kráľovia všetkým zemiam, ako ich docela zahubili, a ty by si mal byť vytrhnutý?

¹²Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar?

¹²Či ich azda vytrhli bohovia národov, ktoré zkazili moji otcovia, Gozana a Chárana, Recefa a synov Édena, ktorí boli v Telassáre?

¹³Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?

¹³Kde je kráľ Chamatu a kráľ Arpádu a kráľ mesta Sefarvajima, Hény a Ivvy?

¹⁴And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.

¹⁴Vtedy vzal Ezechiáš list z ruky poslov a prečítal ho, a odíduc hore do domu Hospodinovho, rozvinul ho Ezechiáš pred Hospodinom.

¹⁵And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.

¹⁵A Ezechiáš sa modlil pred Hospodinom a povedal: Hospodine, Bože Izraelov, ktorý tróniš nad cherubínmi, ty si sám jediný Bôh, a to všetkých kráľovstiev zeme, ty si učinil nebesia i zem.

¹⁶LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God.

¹⁶Nakloň, Hospodine, svoje ucho a počuj! Otvor, Hospodine, svoje oči a vidz a počuj slová Senacheribove, ktorý ho poslal, aby sa rúhal živému Bohu.

¹⁷Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,

¹⁷Je to skutočná pravda, Hospodine, spustošili assýrski kráľovia tie národy aj ich zeme

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸a pohádzali ich bohov do ohňa, lebo to neboli Bohovia, ale dielo rúk človeka, drevo a kameň, a zahubili ich.

¹⁹Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.

¹⁹A tak teraz, Hospodine, náš Bože, prosíme, zachráň nás z jeho ruky, aby poznaly všetky kráľovstvá zeme, že ty, Hospodine, si sám jediný Bôh.

²⁰Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.

²⁰Vtedy poslal Izaiáš, syn Ámosov, k Ezechiášovi a riekol: Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: To, za čo si sa mi modlil ohľadne Senacheriba, assýrskeho kráľa, som počul.

²¹This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

²¹Toto je slovo, ktoré hovorí Hospodin o ňom: Opovrhuje tebou a posmieva sa ti panna dcéry Siona, posmešne kýva za tebou hlavou, dcéra Jeruzalema!

²²Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

²²Komu si sa ty rúhal a koho si obrážal? Proti komu si povýšil hlas? A pozdvihol si svoje oči na výsosť proti Svätému Izraelovmu!

²³By thy messengers thou hast reproached the LORD, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.

²³Skrze svojich poslov si sa rúhal Pánovi a povedal si: S množstvom svojich vozov som ja vyšiel na vysokosť vrchov, na najvyššie vrchole Libanona, a pozotínam jeho vysoké cedry i jeho výborné jedle spanilé a vojdem do nocľažišťa na jeho konci, do lesa, do jeho ovocnej zahrady.

²⁴I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.

²⁴Ja som vykopal a pil som cudzie vody a vysuším spodkom svojich nôh všetky toky Egypta.-

²⁵Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.

²⁵Či si ty nepočul, že som to už dávno učinil, že som utvoril od pradávna? A teraz som to priviedol ta, že si nato, aby si pustošil ohradené mestá v hromady rumov.

²⁶Therefore 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 house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.

²⁶A ich obyvatelia nemajúc sily odolať desia a hanbia sa, sú jako poľná bylina a jako zeleň sviežej trávy, jako tráva na strechách, siatina, zkazená hrdzou, prv ako by bola vyrástla do stebla.

²⁷But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.

²⁷Ale ja znám tvoje sedenie, tvoje vychádzanie i tvoje vchádzanie i tvoje zúrenie proti mne.

²⁸Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will 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.

²⁸Pretože tvoje zúrenie proti mne a tvoja spupná ubezpečenosť vystúpila hore do mojich uší, dám svoju obrúčku do tvojich nozdier a svoje zubadlo do tvojich rtov a odvediem ťa zpät cestou, ktorou si prišiel.

²⁹And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, 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 fruits thereof.

²⁹A toto ti bude, Ezechiášu, znamením: tohoto roku máte jesť to, čo samo narastie, i druhého roku to, čo sa samo urodí, a tretieho roku sejte a žnite a saďte vinice a jedzte ich ovocie.

³⁰And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.

³⁰A ostatok domu Júdovho, ktorý unikne, vpustí zase korene dolu a vydá ovocie hore.

³¹For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

³¹Lebo z Jeruzalema vyjde ostatok a to, čo unikne záhube, z vrchu Siona. Revnivosť Hospodina Zástupov to učiní.

³²Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.

³²Preto takto hovorí Hospodin o assýrskom kráľovi: Nevojde do tohoto mesta ani ta nevostrelí strely ani nepojde proti nemu štítom ani nenasype proti nemu násypu.

³³By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.

³³Tou istou cestou, ktorou prišiel, sa i navráti; ale do tohoto mesta nevojde, hovorí Hospodin.

³⁴For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

³⁴Lebo budem brániť toto mesto a zastávať ho, aby som ho zachránil pre seba a pre Dávida, svojho služobníka.

³⁵And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

³⁵A stalo sa tej istej noci, že vyšiel anjel Hospodinov a pobil v assýrskom tábore sto osemdesiatpäť tisíc. A keď vstali skoro ráno, videli, že hľa, všetci boli mŕtvolami.

³⁶So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

³⁶Preto sa pohol a odišiel. A tak sa navrátil Senacherib, assýrsky kráľ, a býval a sedel v Ninivem.

³⁷And 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 Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

³⁷A stalo sa, keď sa klaňal v dome Nizrocha, svojho boha, že Adrammelech a Šarecer, jeho synovia, ho zabili mečom a sami utiekli do zeme Araráta. A kraľoval Esar-chaddon, jeho syn, miesto neho.
