2 Kings 18
1 Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
Un Hosejas, Elas dēla, Israēla ķēniņa, trešā gadā Hizkija, Ahaza, Jūda ķēniņa, dēls, palika par ķēniņu.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
Un viņš bija divdesmit pieci gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja divdesmit deviņus gadus Jeruzālemē, un viņa mātei bija vārds Abi, Zaharijas meita.
3 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.
Un tas darīja, kas Tam Kungam labi patika, tāpat kā viņa tēvs Dāvids bija darījis.
4 He removed the high places, broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
Tas nopostīja tos kalnu altārus un nolauzīja tos stabus un izdeldēja Astartes un sadragāja to vara čūsku, ko Mozus bija taisījis; jo līdz tam laikam Israēla bērni tai bija kvēpinājuši un to nosauca Neūstan (vara taisīta).
5 He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
Viņš uzticējās Tam Kungam, Israēla Dievam, un pēc viņa nebija otrs tāds kā viņš no visiem Jūda ķēniņiem, arī priekš viņa tāds nebija bijis.
6 For he joined with the LORD. He did not depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
Jo viņš pieķērās Tam Kungam un viņš no Tā neatkāpās un viņš turēja tos baušļus, ko Tas Kungs caur Mozu bija pavēlējis.
7 The LORD was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and did not serve him.
Un Tas Kungs bija ar viņu, ka viss, kur viņš izgāja, labi izdevās. Viņš atkāpās arīdzan no Asīrijas ķēniņa un tam vairs nekalpoja.
8 He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
Viņš kāva arīdzan Fīlistus līdz Gazai un viņas robežām, gan pilīs, gan stiprās pilsētās.
9 In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.
Un ķēniņa Hizkijas ceturtā gadā, tas ir Hosejas, Elas dēla, Israēla ķēniņa, septītais gads, Salmanasers, Asīrijas ķēniņš, cēlās pret Samariju un apmeta lēģeri pret viņu.
10 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.
Un to uzņēma pēc trim gadiem, Hizkijas sestā gada, tas ir Hosejas, Israēla ķēniņa, devītais gads, - tad Samarija tapa uzņemta.
11 The 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,
Un Asīrijas ķēniņš aizveda Israēli uz Asīriju un tiem lika dzīvot Halahā un pie Haboras, Gozanas upes, un Medijas pilsētās,
12 because they did not obey the LORD their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear it or do it.
Tāpēc ka tie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsij nebija klausījuši, bet viņa derību pārkāpuši, un visu, ko Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, bija pavēlējis, un to nebija nedz klausījuši nedz darījuši.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.
Bet ķēniņa Hizkijas četrpadsmitā gadā Sanheribs, Asīrijas ķēniņš, cēlās pret visām stiprām Jūda pilsētām un tās uzņēma.
14 Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw 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.
Tad Hizkija, Jūda ķēniņš, sūtīja pie Asīrijas ķēniņa uz Laķisu un lika sacīt: es esmu apgrēkojies, griezies atpakaļ no manis, es nesīšu, ko tu man uzliksi. Tad Asīrijas ķēniņš Hizkijam, Jūda ķēniņam, uzlika trīssimt talentus sudraba un trīsdesmit talentus zelta.
15 Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house.
Un Hizkija deva visu sudrabu, kas atradās Tā Kunga namā un tā ķēniņa nama mantās.
16 At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the LORD’s temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
Tanī laikā Hizkija noplēsa (to zeltu) no Tā Kunga nama durvīm un no tiem stabiem, ko Hizkija, Jūda ķēniņš, bija apkalis ar zeltu, un to deva Asīrijas ķēniņam.
17 The king of Assyria sent Tartan, 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.
Bet Asīrijas ķēniņš sūtīja Tartanu (augsto sargu), Rabsarisu (augsto valdoni) un Rabzaku (augsto dzērienu devēju) no Laķisas pie ķēniņa Hizkijas ar lielu karaspēku uz Jeruzālemi, un tie cēlās un gāja uz Jeruzālemi. Un kad tie bija cēlušies un nonākuši, tad tie nostājās pie augšēja dīķa ūdens grāvja, ceļa malā pie vadmalnieku tīruma.
18 When they had called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came out to them.
Un tie sauca ķēniņu. Tad pie tiem izgāja nama uzraugs Elijaķims, Hilķijas dēls, un skrīveris Šebna un kanclers Joaks, Asafa dēls.
19 Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
Un Rabzakus uz tiem sacīja: sakāt jel Hizkijam: tā saka tas lielais ķēniņš, Asīrijas ķēniņš: kas tas tāds patvērums, uz ko tu paļaujies?
20 You 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?
Tu saki tukšu vārdu, diezgan esot padoma un spēka uz karu. Uz ko tad tu paļaujies, ka tu no manis esi atkritis?
21 Now, 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.
Nu redzi, tu paļaujies uz to salūzušo niedri, uz Ēģipti. Kas uz to atspiežas, tam tā ies rokā un to pārdurs. Tāds ir Faraons, Ēģiptes ķēniņš, visiem, kas uz viņu paļaujas.
22 But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is not 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’?
Bet ja jūs uz mani sakāt: mēs paļaujamies uz To Kungu, savu Dievu: vai tas nav, kam kalnus un altārus Hizkija ir nopostījis un sacījis uz Jūdu un Jeruzālemi: priekš šī altāra, kas ir Jeruzālemē, jums būs pielūgt?
23 Now 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.
Nu tad, noderi ar manu kungu, Asīrijas ķēniņu, un es tev došu divtūkstoš zirgus, ja tev ir jātnieki, ko tiem likt virsū.
24 How 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?
Kā tad tu varēsi atsist atpakaļ vienu pašu virsnieku no mana kunga vismazākiem kalpiem? Bet tu paļaujies uz Ēģipti, ratu un jātnieku dēļ.
25 Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”’”
Vai tad nu es bez Tā Kunga esmu cēlies pret šo vietu, to izpostīt? Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: celies pret šo zemi un izposti to.
26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. Do not speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
Tad Elijaķims, Hilķijas dēls, un Šebna un Joaks sacīja uz Rabzaku: runā jel ar saviem kalpiem sīriski, - mēs to gan protam - un nerunā ar mums jūdiski priekš šo ļaužu ausīm, kas ir uz mūra.
27 But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you, to speak these words? Has not he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?”
Bet Rabzakus uz tiem sacīja: vai mans Kungs mani sūtījis pie tava kunga un pie tevis, šos vārdus runāt? Vai ne pie tiem vīriem, kas sēž uz mūra, kam līdz ar jums būs jāēd savi sūdi un jādzer savi mīzali.
28 Then 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.
Un Rabzakus nostājās un sauca ar stipru balsi jūdiski un runāja un sacīja: klausāties tā lielā ķēniņa, Asīrijas ķēniņa, vārdus.
29 The king says, ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
Tā saka ķēniņš: lai Hizkija jūs neapmāna, jo viņš jūs nevarēs izglābt no manas rokas.
30 Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
Lai arī Hizkija jums nedara cerību uz To Kungu sacīdams: tiešām, Tas Kungs mūs izglābs un šī pilsēta netaps dota Asīrijas ķēniņa rokā.
31 Do not listen to Hezekiah.’ For the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat from his own vine, and everyone from his own fig tree, and everyone drink water from his own cistern;
Neklausāties uz Hizkiju. Jo tā saka Asīrijas ķēniņš: deriet ar mani mieru un nāciet pie manis ārā, tad ikviens ēdīs no sava vīna koka un ikviens no sava vīģes koka un ikviens dzers ūdeni no savas akas,
32 until 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. Do not listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.”
Kamēr es nākšu un jūs aizvedīšu tādā zemē, kāda ir jūsu zeme, labības un vīna zeme, maizes un vīna dārzu zeme, eļļas koku, eļļas un medus zeme, - tad jūs paliksiet dzīvi un nemirsiet. Bet Hizkijam neklausiet, jo viņš jūs pieviļ sacīdams: Tas Kungs mūs izpestīs.
33 Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Vai gan pagānu dievi ikviens savu zemi izglābuši no Asiriešu ķēniņa rokas?
34 Where 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?
Kur ir Hamatas un Arpadas dievi? Kur ir Sefarvaimas, Enas un Ivas dievi? Vai tie gan izglābuši Samariju no manas rokas?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
Kurš no visas pasaules dieviem izglābis savu zemi no manas rokas? Kā tad Tas Kungs Jeruzālemi izglābs no manas rokas?
36 But the people stayed quiet, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Do not answer him.”
Bet tie ļaudis cieta klusu un viņam neatbildēja neviena vārda, jo ķēniņš bija pavēlējis un sacījis: jums nebūs viņam atbildēt.
37 Then 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 Rabshakeh’s words.
Tad nama uzraugs Elijaķims, Hilķijas dēls, un skrīveris Šebna un kanclers Joaks, Asapa dēls, nāca pie Hizkijas ar saplēstām drēbēm un viņam stāstīja Rabzakus vārdus.
