¹After these things, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified 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 helped 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, and they stopped all the fountains, and the brook that flowed 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?'

⁵And he took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised [it] up to the towers, and the other wall without, and strengthened Millo [in] the city of David, and made weapons 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 broad place at 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 of good courage, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there is a greater 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 Jehovah 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, (now he was before 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 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 you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God will 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 upon it shall ye burn incense?

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 peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any wise able to deliver their land out of my 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 which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my 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 after this manner, neither believe ye him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my 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 Jehovah 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 Jehovah, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my 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!'

¹⁸And they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language 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 of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands.

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

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

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

²¹And Jehovah sent an angel, who 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 from 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 Jehovah saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all [others], 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 Jehovah to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted 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 even unto death: and he prayed unto Jehovah; and he spake unto him, and 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 Jehovah 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 provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of goodly vessels;

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

²⁸store-houses also for the increase of grain and new wine and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and flocks in folds.

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 very much substance.

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 spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on 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 inquire 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 good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, 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 ascent 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.
