¹A stalo sa v treťom roku Hozeu, syna Élu, izraelského kráľa, že začal kraľovať Ezechiáš, syn Achaza, judského kráľa.

¹Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

²Dvadsaťpäť rokov mal, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval dvadsaťdeväť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Abia, dcéra Zachariášova.

²Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.

³A robil to, čo je spravedlivé v očiach Hospodinových, všetko tak, ako činil Dávid, jeho otec.

³And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.

⁴On odstránil výšiny, roztrieskal modlárske sochy, vysekal háje a roztĺkol medeného hada, ktorého bol spravil Mojžiš; lebo až do tých dní mu kadili synovia Izraelovi kadivo, a nazval ho Nechuštánom.

⁴He removed the high places, and brake the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.

⁵Nadejal sa na Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho, a nebolo po ňom jemu rovného medzi všetkými kráľmi Júdovými ani medzi tými, ktorí boli pred ním.

⁵He trusted in Jehovah, 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.

⁶Lebo sa pevne držal Hospodina; neuhnul od neho, aby ho nebol nasledoval; a ostríhal jeho prikázania, ktoré prikázal Hospodin Mojžišovi.

⁶For he clave to Jehovah; he departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses.

⁷A Hospodin bol s ním; všade, kamkoľvek išiel, a čokoľvek konal, rozumne konal a sprotivil sa assýrskemu kráľovi a neslúžil mu.

⁷And Jehovah was with him; whithersoever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

⁸On porazil Filištínov až po Gazu i jej kraje, a to od veže strážnych až po ohradené mesto.

⁸He smote the Philistines unto Gaza and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.

⁹A stalo sa vo štvrtom roku kráľa Ezechiáša, a to bol siedmy rok Hozeu, syna Élovho, izraelského kráľa, že vyšiel hore Salmanazar, assýrsky kráľ, proti Samárii a obľahol ju.

⁹And it came to pass 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.

¹⁰A zaujal ju po troch rokoch, v šiestom roku Ezechiáša, ktorý to rok bol deviatym rokom Hozeu, izraelského kráľa; vtedy bola zaujatá Samária.

¹⁰And at 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.

¹¹A assýrsky kráľ prestehoval Izraela so Assýrie a osadil ich v Chelachu a v Chábore pri rieke Gozane a v médskych mestách,

¹¹And the king of Assyria carried Israel away unto Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,

¹²pretože neposlúchali na hlas Hospodina, svojho Boha, ale prestupovali jeho smluvu, všetko to, čo prikázal Mojžiš, služobník Hospodinov, a neposlúchali ani nečinili.

¹²because they obeyed not the voice of Jehovah their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.

¹³Potom v štrnástom roku kráľa Ezechiáša, vyšiel hore Senacherib, assýrsky kráľ, proti všetkým mestám Júdovým ohradeným a zaujal ich.

¹³Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.

¹⁴A Ezechiáš, judský kráľ, poslal poslov k assýrskemu kráľovi do Lachiša povediac: Zhrešil som, obráť sa preč odo mňa; to, čo naložíš na mňa, ponesiem. A assýrsky kráľ uložil na Ezechiáša, judského kráľa, tristo hrivien striebra a tridsať hrivien zlata.

¹⁴And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

¹⁵A Ezechiáš dal všetko striebro, ktoré sa našlo v dome Hospodinovom a v pokladoch domu kráľovho.

¹⁵And Hezekiah gave [him] all the silver that was found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house.

¹⁶V tom čase olúpal Ezechiáš dvere chrámu Hospodinovho zo zlata i stĺpy, ktoré bol pokryl zlatom sám Ezechiáš, judský kráľ, a dal to assýrskemu kráľovi.

¹⁶At that time did Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and [from] the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

¹⁷Ale assýrsky kráľ jednako len poslal Tartána a Rab-sarísa a Rabsákeho z Lachiša ku kráľovi Ezechiášovi s velikým vojskom do Jeruzalema. A odíduc hore prišli k Jeruzalemu a vyjdúc hore prišli a zastáli pri struhe horného rybníka, ktorá je pri hradskej poľa valchárovho.

¹⁷And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army unto Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field.

¹⁸A keď volali na kráľa, vyšiel k nim Elijakim, syn Hilkiášov, ktorý bol nad domom, a Šebna, pisár, a Joach, syn Azafov, kancelár.

¹⁸And when 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.

¹⁹A Rabsáke im povedal: Nože povedzte Ezechiášovi: Takto hovorí ten veľký kráľ, assýrsky kráľ: Akáže je to nádej, na ktorú sa nadeješ?

¹⁹And 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?

²⁰Povedal si iba slovo rtov, a to má byť rada a sila do boja! Na koho sa teraz nadeješ, že si sa mi sprotivil?

²⁰Thou sayest (but they are but vain words), [There is] counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?

²¹Teraz hľa, spoľahol si sa na tú trstenú palicu nalomenú, 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.

²¹Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.

²²A keď mi poviete: Na Hospodina, svojho Boha, sa nadejeme! Či nie je to ten istý, ktorého výšiny odstránil Ezechiáš i jeho oltáre, a riekol Júdovi a Jeruzalemu: Pred týmto oltárom sa budete klaňať v Jeruzaleme!?

²²But if ye say unto me, We trust in Jehovah our God; is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

²³A teraz nože závoď s mojím pánom, s assýrskym kráľom, a dám ti dva tisíce koní, ak si môžeš dať na ne jazdcov.

²³Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges 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.

²⁴A jako potom odvrátiš tvár jediného vojvodcu, niektorého z najmenších služobníkov môjho pána? Ale pravda spoľahneš sa na Egypt, na vozy a na jazdcov!

²⁴How then canst 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?

²⁵A krome toho, či som prišiel bez Hospodina hore proti tomuto miestu, aby som ho zkazil? Veď Hospodin mi povedal: Vyjdi hore proti tej zemi a zkaz ju!

²⁵Am I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

²⁶Na to riekol Elijakim, syn Hilkiášov, a Šebna a Joach Rabsákemu: Hovor, prosíme, svojim služobníkom sýrsky, lebo veď rozumieme, a nehovor s nami židovsky pred ľudom, ktorý je na múre!

²⁶Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not with us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

²⁷Ale Rabsáke im povedal: A či azda proti tvojmu pánovi a k tebe ma poslal môj pán, aby som vám hovoril tieto slová? A či nie proti mužom, ktorí sedia na múre, aby jedli svoje vlastné lajná a pili svoj vlastný moč i spolu s vami?

²⁷But Rabshakeh said unto them, 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 on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?

²⁸Potom sa postavil Rabsáke a volal veľkým hlasom židovsky, hovoril a riekol: Počujte slovo toho veľkého kráľa, assýrskeho kráľa!

²⁸Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear ye the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.

²⁹Takto hovorí kráľ: Nech vás neklame Ezechiáš! Lebo vás nebude môcť vytrhnúť z jeho ruky!

²⁹Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

³⁰Ani nech vás nenahovorí Ezechiáš nadejať sa na Hospodina hovoriac: Istotne nás vytrhne Hospodin, a nebude vydané toto mesto do ruky assýrskeho kráľa.

³⁰neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

³¹Nepočúvajte na Ezechiáša, lebo takto hovorí assýrsky kráľ: Učiňte so mnou mier a nadobudnite požehnanie a tak vyjdite ku mne a jedzte každý zo svojho viniča a každý zo svojho fíka a pite každý vodu zo svojej studne,

³¹Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, 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;

³²dokiaľ neprijdem a nepoberiem si vás do zeme, podobnej vašej zemi, do zeme obilia a vína, do zeme chleba a viníc, do zeme olív, vydávajúcich dobrý olej, a medu, a žite a nepomrite! Ale nepočúvajte na Ezechiáša, lebo vás zvodí hovoriac: Hospodin nás vytrhne.

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 ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us.

³³Či azda vytrhli bohovia národov každý svoju zem z ruky assýrskeho kráľa?

³³Hath any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

³⁴Kde sú bohovia Chamatu a Arpádu? Kde bohovia Sefarvajima, Hény a Ivvy, aby boli vytrhli Samáriu z mojej ruky?!

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?

³⁵Ktorí sú to medzi všetkými bohmi tých zemí, ktorí by boli vytrhli svoju zem z mojej ruky, aby Hospodin vytrhol Jeruzalem z mojej ruky?

³⁵Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

³⁶A ľud mlčal, a neodpovedali mu ani slova, lebo to bol rozkaz kráľov, ktorý povedal: Neodpovedajte mu!

³⁶But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

³⁷Potom prišiel Elijakim, syn Hilkiášov, ktorý bol nad domom, i Šebna, pisár, i Joach, syn Azafov, kancelár, k Ezechiášovi majúc roztrhnuté rúcho a oznámili mu slová Rabsákeho.

³⁷Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who 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.
