2 Kraljevima 20
1 U ono se vrijeme Ezekija razbolje nasmrt. Prorok Izaija, sin Amosov, dođe mu i reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Uredi kuću svoju jer ćeš umrijeti; nećeš ozdraviti.'”
In those days, was Hezekiah sick, unto death, —and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came unto him, and said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh Set in order thy house, for, about to die, thou, art, and shalt not recover.
2 Ezekija se okrenu zidu i ovako se pomoli Jahvi:
Then he turned his face unto the wall, —and prayed unto Yahweh, saying:
3 “Ah, Jahve! Sjeti se milostivo da sam pred tobom hodio vjerno i poštena srca i da sam činio što je dobro u tvojim očima.” I Ezekija briznu u gorak plač.
I beseech thee, O Yahweh, remember, I pray thee, how I have walked before thee, in truth, and with a whole heart, and, that which is good in thine eyes, have I done! And Hezekiah wept aloud.
4 Izaija još ne bijaše izišao iz središnjeg predvorja kad mu je stigla riječ Jahvina:
And it came to pass that Isaiah, had not gone out into the middle court, when the word of Yahweh came unto him, saying:
5 “Vrati se i reci Ezekiji, glavaru moga naroda. Ovako veli Jahve, Bog tvoga oca Davida: 'Uslišao sam tvoju molitvu, vidio sam tvoje suze. Izliječit ću te; za tri dana uzići ćeš u Dom Jahvin.
Return, and thou shalt say unto Hezekiah the leader of my people—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, —Behold me! about to heal thee, On the third day, shalt thou go up unto the house of Yahweh;
6 Dodat ću tvome vijeku još petnaest godina. Izbavit ću tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku asirskoga kralja; zakrilit ću ovaj grad radi sebe i sluge svoga Davida.'”
And I will add unto thy days, fifteen years, and, out of the hand of the king of Assyria, will I deliver thee, and this city, —and will throw a covering over this city, for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
7 Izaija naloži: “Uzmite oblog od smokava, privijte mu ga na čir i on će ozdraviti.”
And Isaiah said—Take ye a cake of figs. So they took and laid it upon the boil, and he recovered,
8 Ezekija upita Izaiju: “Po kojem ću znaku prepoznati da će me Jahve izliječiti i da ću za tri dana uzići u Dom Jahvin?”
Now Hezekiah had said unto Isaiah, What sign is there, that Yahweh will heal me, —and that I shall go up on the third day, to the house of Yahweh?
9 Izaija odgovori: “Evo ti znaka od Jahve da će učiniti što je rekao: hoćeš li da se sjena pomakne za deset stupnjeva naprijed ili da se vrati za deset stupnjeva?”
And Isaiah said, —This unto thee, is the sign from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing which he hath spoken, The shadow hath gone forward ten steps, shall it return ten steps?
10 Ezekija odgovori: “Lako je sjeni pomaknuti se deset stupnjeva naprijed! Ne! Neka se sjena vrati natrag za deset stupnjeva!”
And Hezekiah said—It is, a light thing, for the shadow, to decline ten steps, —Nay, but let the shadow go back ten steps.
11 Prorok Izaija zazva Jahvu i on učini da se sjena vrati za deset stupnjeva. Sišla je za deset posljednjih stupnjeva na Ahazovu sunčaniku.
And Isaiah the prophet cried unto Yahweh, and he caused the shadow on the steps by which it had gone down on the steps of Ahaz to go back, ten steps.
12 U to vrijeme posla babilonski kralj Merodak-Baladan, sin Baladanov, pisma s darom Ezekiji, jer bijaše čuo da se razbolio i ozdravio.
At that time, Berodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present, unto Hezekiah, —for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
13 Ezekija se obradova tome i pokaza poslanicima svoju riznicu - srebro, zlato, miomirise, mirisavo ulje - svoju oružanu i sve što je bilo u skladištima. Nije bilo ničega u njegovu dvoru i svemu njegovu gospodarstvu što im Ezekija nije pokazao.
And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all his house of precious things—the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and his armoury, and all that was found among his treasures, —there was, nothing, that Hezekiah shewed them not, in his house or in all his dominion.
14 Tada prorok Izaija dođe kralju Ezekiji i upita ga: “Što su rekli ti ljudi i odakle su došli k tebi?” Ezekija odgovori: “Došli su iz daleke zemlje, iz Babilona.”
Then came Isaiah the prophet unto King Hezekiah, —and said unto him—What said these men, and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a land far off, came they—from Babylon.
15 Izaija upita dalje: “Što su vidjeli u tvojem dvoru?” Ezekija odgovori: “Vidjeli su sve što je u mojem dvoru; nema u mojim skladištima ničega što im nisam pokazao.”
And he said—What have they seen in thy house? Then said Hezekiah—All that is in my house, have they seen, there was, nothing, that I shewed them not, among my treasures.
16 Tada Izaija reče Ezekiji: “Čuj riječ Jahvinu:
Then said Isaiah unto Hezekiah, —Hear thou the word of Yahweh:
17 'Evo dolaze dani kada će sve što je u tvojem dvoru, sve što su tvoji oci nakupili do danas, biti odneseno u Babilon. Ništa neće ostati, ' kaže Jahve.
Lo! days are coming, when all that is in thine house, and that thy fathers have treasured up, unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon, —nothing shall be left, saith Yahweh;
18 A od sinova što poteku od tebe, što ti se rode, neke će uzeti da budu uškopljeni dvorani u palači babilonskoga kralja.”
and, of thy sons who shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away, —and they shall become eunuchs, in the palace of the king of Babylon.
19 Ezekija odgovori Izaiji: “Povoljna je riječ koju ti je Jahve objavio.” A mislio je: “Zašto ne? Ako bude mira i sigurnosti za moga života!”
And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah—Good, is the word of Yahweh, which thou hast spoken. And he said—Is it not, that, peace and stability, there shall be in my days?
20 Ostala povijest Ezekijina, svi njegovi pothvati i kako je sagradio ribnjak i prorov da dovede vodu u grad, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?
Now, the rest of the story of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool and an aqueduct, and brought water into the city, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
21 Ezekija je počinuo sa svojim ocima, a njegov sin Manaše zakralji se mjesto njega.
So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and, Manasseh his son, reigned, in his stead.
