1Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
1A stalo sa v štrnástom roku kráľa Ezechiáša, že prišiel hore Senacherib, assýrsky kráľ, proti všetkým mestám Júdovým, ohradeným, a zaujal ich.
2And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
2A assýrsky kráľ poslal Rabsákeho z Lachiša do Jeruzalema ku kráľovi Ezechiášovi s velikým vojskom. A zastál pri vodovode horného rybníka, pri hradskej poľa valchárovho.
3Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
3A vyšiel k nemu Elijakim, syn Hilkiášov, ktorý bol nad domom, a Šebna, pisár, a Joach, syn Azafov, kancelár.
4And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
4A Rabsáke im povedal: Nože povedzte Ezechiášovi: Takto hovorí ten veľký kráľ, assýrsky kráľ: Aká je to nádej, na ktorú sa nadeješ?
5I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
5Riekol som: Povedal si iba slovo rtov, a to má byť rada a sila do boja! A tak teraz na koho sa to nadeješ, že si sa mi sprotivil?
6Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
6Hľa, spoľahol si sa na palicu tej nalomenej trstiny, 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.
7But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
7A keď mi povieš: Na Hospodina, svojho Boha sa nadejeme! Či nie je to ten, ktorého výšiny odstránil Ezechiáš i jeho oltáre, a riekol Júdovi a Jeruzalemu: Pred týmto oltárom sa budete klaňať!?
8Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
8A teraz, nože závoď s mojím pánom, s assýrskym kráľom, a dám ti dva tisíce koní, ak si môžeš dať na ne jazdcov.
9How 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?
9A jako by si potom mohol odolať jednému kniežaťu, niektorému z najmenších služobníkov môjho pána, hoci sa spoliehaš na Egypt, na vozy a na jazdcov?
10And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
10A krome toho, či som prišiel bez Hospodina hore proti tejto zemi, aby som ju zkazil? Veď Hospodin mi riekol: Vyjdi hore proti tej zemi a zkaz ju!
11Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
11Na to riekol Elijakim, Šebna a Joach Rabsákemu: Hovor, prosíme, svojim služobníkom aramejsky, lebo veď rozumieme a nehovor nám židovsky pred ľudom, ktorý je na múre.
12But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
12Ale Rabsáke povedal: Či len k tvojmu pánovi a k tebe ma poslal môj pán, aby som vám hovoril tieto slová? Či azda nie proti mužom, ktorí sedia na múre, aby jedli svoje vlastné lajná a pili svoj vlastný moč i spolu s vami?
13Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
13Potom sa postavil Rabsáke a volal veľkým hlasom židovsky a riekol: Počujte slová toho veľkého kráľa, assýrskeho kráľa!
14Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.
14Takto hovorí kráľ: Nech vás neklame Ezechiáš, lebo vás nebude môcť vytrhnúť!
15Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
15Ani nech vás nenahovára Ezechiáš nadejať sa na Hospodina hovoriac: Istotne nás vytrhne Hospodin; nebude vydané toto mesto do ruky assýrskeho kráľa.
16Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
16Nepočúvajte na Ezechiáša, lebo takto hovorí assýrsky kráľ: Učiňte so mnou mier a nadobudnite požehnania a tak vyjdite ku mne a jedzte každý zo svojho viniča a každý zo svojho fíka a pite každý vodu zo svojej studne,
17Until 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.
17dokiaľ neprijdem a nepoberiem vás do zeme, podobnej vašej zemi, do zeme obilia a vína, do zeme chleba a viníc.
18Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, the LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
18Nech vás nezvodí Ezechiáš hovoriac: Hospodin nás vytrhne. Či azda vytrhli bohovia národov každý svoju zem z ruky assýrskeho kráľa?
19Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
19Kde sú bohovia Chamatu a Arpadu? Kde sú bohovia Sefarvajima? A či vytrhli Samáriu z mojej ruky?
20Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
20Ktorí sú to medzi všetkými bohmi tých zemí, ktorí by boli vytrhli svoju zem z mojej ruky, aby Hospodin vytrhol Jeruzalem z mojej ruky?
21But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
21A oni mlčali a neodpovedali mu ani slova, lebo to bol rozkaz kráľov povediac: Neodpovedajte mu!
22Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that 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.
22Potom prišiel Elijakim, syn Hilkiášov, ktorý bol nad domom, a Šebna, pisár, a Joach, syn Azafov, kancelár, k Ezechiášovi majúc roztrhnuté rúcho a oznámili mu slová Rabsákeho.
