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

¹And it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea the 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.

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, daughter of Zechariah.

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

³And he did what was right in the sight 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 broke the columns, and cut down the Asherahs, and broke in pieces the serpent of brass that Moses had made; for to those days the children of Israel burned 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 any] that were before him.

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

⁶And he clave to Jehovah, and did not turn aside 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; he prospered whithersoever he went forth. 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 Gazah and its borders, from the watchmen's tower 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 the 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, that is, 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 away Israel to Assyria, and settled them in Halah and by 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 hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah their God, but transgressed his covenant, all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded; and they would not hear nor do it.

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

¹³And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came 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 sinned; retire from me: I will bear what thou layest upon me. And the king of Assyria laid upon 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 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 Hezekiah stripped the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and the posts that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave them 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 Rabsaris and Rab-shakeh from Lachish, with a strong force, against king Hezekiah, to Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is on 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 they called to the king. Then came forth to them Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler.

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

¹⁹And Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says 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 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?

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 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.

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!?

²²And if ye 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 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.

²³And now, engage, I pray thee, with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou canst set the 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 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!

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 to 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!

²⁶And Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, and Shebnah and Joah said to Rab-shakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in Syriac, for we understand it, and talk not with us in the Jewish [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?

²⁷And Rab-shakeh said to them, 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?

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

²⁸And Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish [language], and spoke and said, Hear 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 says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of the [king's] 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 rely upon Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will certainly 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 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;

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 corn and 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 to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us.

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

³³Have any of the gods of the nations delivered at all 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, Hena, and Ivvah? and 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?

³⁵Which are they among all the gods of the countries, who 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 were silent and answered him not a word; for the king's command 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.

³⁷And 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.
