1Ja Iisraeli kuninga Hoosea, Eela poja kolmandal aastal sai kuningaks Hiskija, Juuda kuninga Aahase poeg.
1Now it happened in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2Tema oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend viis aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kakskümmend üheksa aastat; ta ema nimi oli Abi, Sakarja tütar.
2He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
3Tema tegi, mis õige oli Issanda silmis, kõigiti nõnda, nagu ta isa Taavet oli teinud.
3He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done.
4Tema kõrvaldas ohvrikünkad, purustas sambad, raius maha viljakustulbad ja pihustas vaskmao, mille Mooses oli teinud; sest kuni nende päevadeni olid Iisraeli lapsed suitsutanud sellele; seda kutsuti Nehustaniks.
4He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
5Tema lootis Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala peale ja tema sarnast ei olnud kõigi Juuda kuningate hulgas, kes olid enne või pärast teda.
5He trusted in Yahweh, the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
6Tema kiindus Issandasse ega lahkunud tema järelt, vaid pidas tema käske, mis Issand oli Moosesele andnud.
6For he joined with Yahweh; he didn’t depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses.
7Ja Issand oli temaga; kõikjal, kuhu ta läks, oli tal edu. Ta hakkas vastu Assuri kuningale ega teeninud teda.
7Yahweh was with him; wherever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn’t serve him.
8Ta lõi vilisteid kuni Assani ja selle maa-aladeni, niihästi vahitorne kui kindlustatud linnu.
8He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
9Aga kuningas Hiskija neljandal aastal, see on Iisraeli kuninga Hoosea, Eela poja seitsmendal aastal, tuli Assuri kuningas Salmaneser Samaaria vastu ja piiras seda
9It happened in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
10ning vallutas selle kolme aasta pärast. Hiskija kuuendal aastal, see on Iisraeli kuninga Hoosea üheksandal aastal, vallutati Samaaria.
10At the end of three years they took it: in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
11Ja Assuri kuningas viis Iisraeli Assurisse ning saatis nad Halahhi ja Haabori jõe äärde Goosanis ja meedlaste linnadesse,
11The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
12sellepärast et nad ei olnud kuulanud Issanda, oma Jumala häält, vaid olid rikkunud ta lepingu, kõik selle, mis Mooses, Issanda sulane, oli käskinud; nad ei kuulanud seda ega teinud selle järgi.
12because they didn’t obey the voice of Yahweh their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.
13Kuningas Hiskija neljateistkümnendal aastal tuli Assuri kuningas Sanherib kõigi Juuda kindlustatud linnade kallale ja vallutas need.
13Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
14Siis läkitas Juuda kuningas Hiskija Laakisesse Assuri kuningale ütlema: 'Ma olen pattu teinud. Mine mu kallalt ära! Mis sa mulle peale paned, seda ma tahan kanda!' Ja Assuri kuningas pani Juuda kuninga Hiskija peale kolmsada talenti hõbedat ja kolmkümmend talenti kulda.
14Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, “I have offended; return from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15Ja Hiskija andis kõik Issanda kojas ja kuningakoja varanduste hulgas leiduva hõbeda.
15Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king’s house.
16Sel korral raius Hiskija ära Issanda templi uksed ja piidad, mis Juuda kuningas Hiskija ise oli karranud, ja andis need Assuri kuningale.
16At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of Yahweh’s temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
17Aga Assuri kuningas läkitas Laakisest ülemjuhataja, ülemkammerhärra ja ülemjoogikallaja suure väehulgaga Jeruusalemma kuningas Hiskija vastu. Need tulid ja jõudsid Jeruusalemma. Kui nad olid tulnud ja pärale jõudnud, siis nad peatusid ülatiigi veejuhtme juures, mis on Vanutajavälja maantee ääres.
17The king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.
18Ja kui nad hüüdsid kuningat, siis läksid välja nende juurde Eljakim, Hilkija poeg, kes oli kojaülem, kirjutaja Sebna ja nõunik Joah, Aasafi poeg.
18When they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
19Ja ülemjoogikallaja ütles neile: 'Öelge ometi Hiskijale: Nõnda ütleb suurkuningas, Assuri kuningas: Mis lootus see on, mida sa hellitad?
19Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
20Sa arvad, et paljad sõnad on nõu ja jõud võitluseks. Kelle peale sa nüüd loodad, et oled mulle vastu hakanud?
20You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
21Vaata, nüüd sa loodad Egiptuse, selle murtud pillirookepi peale, mis tungib pihku ja puurib selle läbi, kui keegi selle peale toetub. Niisugune on vaarao, Egiptuse kuningas, kõigile, kes loodavad tema peale.
21Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
22Või kui te mulle ütlete: Me loodame Issanda, oma Jumala peale, kas pole siis mitte tema see, kelle ohvrikünkad ja altarid Hiskija kõrvaldas, öeldes Juudale ja Jeruusalemmale: Selle altari ees te peate kummardama Jeruusalemmas!?
22But if you tell me, ‘We trust in Yahweh our God;’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?’
23Nüüd aga vea ometi kihla mu isandaga, Assuri kuningaga: mina annan sulle kaks tuhat hobust, kui sa suudad hankida neile ratsanikke!
23Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
24Kuidas sa siis saaksid tagasi tõrjuda asevalitseja, ühe mu isanda vähimaist sulaseist? Aga sa loodad Egiptuse, tema sõjavankrite ja ratsanike peale!
24How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
25Kas ma siis nüüd ilma Issandata olen tulnud selle paiga vastu, et seda hävitada? Issand ise ütles mulle: Mine sinna maale ja hävita see!'
25Have I now come up without Yahweh against this place to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”’”
26Siis ütlesid Eljakim, Hilkija poeg, Sebna ja Joah ülemjoogikallajale: 'Räägi ometi oma sulastega aramea keelt, sest me mõistame seda, aga ära räägi meiega juudi keelt müüri peal oleva rahva kuuldes!'
26Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
27Kuid ülemjoogikallaja vastas neile: 'Kas mu isand on mind läkitanud kõnelema neid sõnu ainult su isandale ja sinule? Küllap ka müüri peal istuvatele meestele, kes koos teiega peavad sööma oma rooja ja jooma oma kust!'
27But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? Hasn’t he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?”
28Ja ülemjoogikallaja astus ette ning hüüdis valju häälega juudi keeles, rääkis ja ütles: 'Kuulge suurkuninga, Assuri kuninga sõna!
28Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spoke, saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
29Nõnda ütleb kuningas: Ärge laske endid Hiskijast petta, sest tema ei suuda teid päästa minu käest!
29Thus says the king, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
30Ärgu pangu Hiskija teid lootma Issanda peale, öeldes: Issand päästab meid kindlasti ja seda linna ei anta Assuri kuninga kätte!
30Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
31Ärge kuulake Hiskijat, sest Assuri kuningas ütleb nõnda: Tehke minuga alistusleping ja tulge välja minu juurde, siis te võite süüa igamees oma viinapuust ja igamees oma viigipuust ja juua igamees oma kaevust vett,
31Don’t listen to Hezekiah.’ For thus says the king of Assyria, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern;
32kuni ma tulen ja viin teid maale, mis on teie maa sarnane, vilja ja veini maa, leiva ja viinamägede maa, õlipuude ja mee maa, ja te jääte elama ega sure. Aga ärge kuulake Hiskijat, sest tema ässitab teid, kui ta ütleb: Issand päästab meid!
32until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live, and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, “Yahweh will deliver us.”
33Kas on muude rahvaste jumalaist mõni päästnud oma maa Assuri kuninga käest?
33Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
34Kus on Hamati ja Arpadi jumalad? Kus on Sefarvaimi, Heena ja Ivva jumalad? Kas need päästsid Samaaria minu käest?
34Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
35Kes kõigi teiste maade jumalaist on päästnud oma maa minu käest, et Issand peaks päästma Jeruusalemma minu käest?'
35Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yahweh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
36Aga rahvas vaikis ega vastanud temale sõnagi, sest niisugune oli kuninga käsk, kes oli öelnud: 'Ärge vastake temale!'
36But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”
37Siis tulid kojaülem Eljakim, Hilkija poeg, kirjutaja Sebna ja nõunik Joah, Aasafi poeg, Hiskija juurde, riided lõhki käristatud, ja kandsid temale ette ülemjoogikallaja sõnad.
37Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
