1And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified 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 Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to king Hezekiah, with a strong force. And he stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on 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 to him Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler.
3A vyšiel k nemu Elijakim, syn Hilkiášov, ktorý bol nad domom, a Šebna, pisár, a Joach, syn Azafov, kancelár.
4And Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which thou trustest?
4A Rabsáke im povedal: Nože povedzte Ezechiášovi: Takto hovorí ten veľký kráľ, assýrsky kráľ: Aká je to nádej, na ktorú sa nadeješ?
5Thou sayest, but it is a word of the lips, [There is] counsel and strength for war. Now on whom dost thou rely, that thou hast revolted 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?
6Behold, thou reliest upon the staff of that broken reed, upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it goes into his hand, and pierces it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that rely upon 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.
7And if thou say to me, We rely upon Jehovah our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and 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!?
8And now engage, I pray thee, with 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 thou reliest upon 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 now am I come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said to 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!
11And Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rab-shakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in Syriac, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jewish [language] in the ears of the people that are upon 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.
12And Rab-shakeh said, Is it to thy master and to thee that my master sent me to speak these words? Is it not to the men that sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine 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?
13And Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish [language], and said, Hear 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 says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.
14Takto hovorí kráľ: Nech vás neklame Ezechiáš, lebo vás nebude môcť vytrhnúť!
15Neither let Hezekiah make you rely upon Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will certainly deliver us; this city shall not be given 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 says the king of Assyria: Make peace with me and come out to me; and eat every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink 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.
18Let not Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Has 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 of Arpad? 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 countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah 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?
21And they were silent, and answered him not a word; for the king's command was, saying, Answer him not.
21A oni mlčali a neodpovedali mu ani slova, lebo to bol rozkaz kráľov povediac: Neodpovedajte mu!
22And Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler, came to Hezekiah, with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
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.
