¹And it came to pass when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.

¹A stalo sa, keď to počul kráľ Ezechiáš, že roztrhnul svoje rúcho, odial sa smútočným vrecom a vošiel do domu Hospodinovho.

²And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz.

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

³And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of reviling; 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 Jehovah thy God will hear the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God hath heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left.

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

⁵And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

⁵A tak prišli služobníci kráľa Ezechiáša k Izaiášovi.

⁶And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith 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 put a spirit into him, and he shall hear tidings, 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.

⁸And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.

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

⁹And he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

⁹A počul o Tirhákovi, ethiopskom kráľovi, že hovorili: Vyšiel, aby bojoval s tebou. A keď to počul, poslal poslov k Ezechiášovi a riekol:

¹⁰Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Let not thy God, upon whom thou reliest, 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 ty nadeješ hovoriac: Nebude vydaný Jeruzalem do ruky assýrskeho kráľa!

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

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

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

¹²Či ich azda vytrhli bohovia národov, ktoré zkazili moji otcovia, Gozana a Chárana, Récefa 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 Ivvah?

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

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

¹⁴A Ezechiáš vezmúc list z ruky poslov prečítal ho a odíduc hore do domu Hospodinovho rozprestrel ho Ezechiáš pred Hospodinom.

¹⁵And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,

¹⁵A Ezechiáš sa modlil Hospodinovi a povedal:

¹⁶Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, who sittest [between] the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made the heavens and the earth.

¹⁶Hospodine Zástupov, Bože Izraelov, ktorý tróniš nad cherubínmi, ty si sám jediným Bohom a to všetkých kráľovstiev zeme, ty si učinil nebesia i zem.

¹⁷Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach the living God.

¹⁷Nakloň, Hospodine, svoje ucho a počuj! Otvor, Hospodine, svoje oči a vidz a počuj všetky slová Senacheribove, ktorý poslal rúhať sa živému Bohu.

¹⁸Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the lands, and their countries,

¹⁸Je to skutočná pravda, Hospodine, spustošili assýrski kráľovia všetky tie krajiny aj ich zem.

¹⁹and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.

¹⁹A pohádzali ich bohov do ohňa, lebo to neboli Bohovia, ale dielo rúk človeka, drevo a kameň, a preto ich zahubili.

²⁰And now, Jehovah our God, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Jehovah, thou only.

²⁰A tak teraz, Hospodine, náš Bože, zachráň nás z jeho ruky, aby poznaly všetky kráľovstvá zeme, že ty, Hospodine, si sám jediný.

²¹And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,

²¹Vtedy poslal Izaiáš, syn Ámosov, k Ezechiášovi a riekol: Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: Čo do toho, za čo si sa mi modlil, ohľadne Senacheriba, assýrskeho kráľa,

²²this is the word which Jehovah hath spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.

²²toto je slovo, ktoré hovorí Hospodin o ňom: Opovrhuje tebou a posmieva sa ti panna dcéry Siona, posmešne kýva za tebou hlavou dcéra Jeruzalema!

²³Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted the voice? Against the Holy One of Israel hast thou lifted up thine eyes on high.

²³Komu si sa ty rúhal a koho si obrážal? Proti komu si povýšil hlas? A pozdvihuješ svoje oči na výsosť proti Svätému Izraelovmu!

²⁴By thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the recesses of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its cypresses; and I will enter into its furthest height, [into] the forest of its fruitful field.

²⁴Skrze svojich služobníkov si sa rúhal Pánovi a povedal si: S množstvom svojich vozov som ja vyšiel na výšinu vrchov, na najvyššie vrcholy Libanona a pozotínam jeho vysoké cedry i jeho výborné jedle a prijdem na výšinu jeho konca, do lesa, do jeho ovocnej zahrady.

²⁵I have digged and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of Matsor.

²⁵Ja som vykopal a pil cudzie vody a vysuším spodkom svojich nôh všetky toky Egypta.

²⁶Hast thou not heard that long ago I did it, and that from ancient days I formed it? Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.

²⁶Či si ty nepočul, že som to dávno učinil, že som to pradávno utvoril? A teraz som to priviedol ta, že si na to, aby si pustošil ohradené mestá a obrátil ich na hromady rumov.

²⁷And their inhabitants were powerless, they were dismayed and put to shame; they were [as] the grass of the field and the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up.

²⁷A ich obyvatelia nemajúc sily odolať desia sa a hanbia; stali sa poľnou bylinou a zeleňou sviežej trávy, trávou na strechách, posiatym poľom, zkazeným hrdzou prv, ako by bolo vyrástlo do stebla.

²⁸But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.

²⁸Ale ja znám tvoje sedenie, tvoje vychádzanie i tvoje vchádzanie i tvoje zúrenie proti mne.

²⁹Because thy raging against me and thine arrogance is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will make thee go back by the way by which thou camest.

²⁹Preto, že tvoje zúrenie proti mne a tvoja spupná ubezpečenosť prišla hore do mojich uší, preto dám svoju obrúčku do tvojich nozdier a svoje zubadlo do tvojich rtov a odvediem ťa nazpät cestou, ktorou si prišiel.

³⁰And this [shall be] the sign unto thee: there shall be eaten this year such as groweth of itself; and in the second year that which springeth of the same; but in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof.

³⁰A toto ti bude, Ezechiášu, znamením: Tohoto roku budete jesť to, čo samo dorastie, i druhého roku to, čo sa samo urodí, a tretieho roku sejte a žnite, saďte vinice a jedzte ich ovocie.

³¹And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward;

³¹A uniklé domu Júdovho, ktoré pozostane, vpustí zase korene dolu a vydá ovocie hore.

³²for out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that escape: the zeal of Jehovah of hosts shall do this.

³²Lebo z Jeruzalema vyjde ostatok, a to, čo unikne záhube, s vrchu Siona. Žiarlivosť Hospodina Zástupov to učiní.

³³Therefore thus saith Jehovah 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.

³³Preto takto hovorí Hospodin o assýrskom kráľovi: Nevojde do tohoto mesta ani ta nevostrelí strely ani nepojde proti nemu štítom ani nenasype proti nemu násypu.

³⁴By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah.

³⁴Tou istou cestou, ktorou prišiel, sa i navráti, ale do tohoto mesta nevojde, hovorí Hospodin.

³⁵And I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

³⁵Lebo budem brániť toto mesto zastávajúc ho, aby som ho zachránil, pre seba a pre Dávida, svojho služobníka.

³⁶And an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies.

³⁶Potom vyšiel anjel Hospodinov a pobil v assýrskom tábore sto osemdesiatpäť tisíc. A keď vstali skoro ráno, videli, že hľa, všetci boli mŕtvolami.

³⁷And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and abode at Nineveh.

³⁷Preto sa pohol a odišiel. A tak sa navrátil Senacherib, assýrsky kráľ, a býval v Ninive-m.

³⁸And 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 Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

³⁸A stalo sa, keď sa klaňal v dome Nizrocha, svojho boha, že Adrammelech a Šarécer, jeho synovia, ho zabili mečom a sami utiekli do zeme Araratu. A kraľoval Esarchaddon, jeho syn, miesto neho.
