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 hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, and saith unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for thou art dying, and dost not live.'

2 Ezekija se okrenu zidu i ovako se pomoli Jahvi:

And he turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth unto Jehovah, 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 pray Thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which [is] good in Thine eyes I have done;' and Hezekiah weepeth — a great weeping.

4 Izaija još ne bijaše izišao iz središnjeg predvorja kad mu je stigla riječ Jahvina:

And it cometh to pass — Isaiah hath not gone out to the middle court — that the word of Jehovah hath been 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.

'Turn back, and thou hast said unto Hezekiah, leader of My people: Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I give healing to thee, on the third day thou dost go up to the house of Jehovah;

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 have added to thy days fifteen years, and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and have covered over this city for Mine 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 saith, 'Take ye a cake of figs;' and they take and lay [it] on the boil, and he reviveth.

8 Ezekija upita Izaiju: “Po kojem ću znaku prepoznati da će me Jahve izliječiti i da ću za tri dana uzići u Dom Jahvin?”

And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, 'What [is] the sign that Jehovah doth give healing to me, that I have gone up on the third day to the house of Jehovah?'

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 saith, 'This [is] to thee the sign from Jehovah, that Jehovah doth the thing that He hath spoken — The shadow hath gone on ten degrees, or it doth turn back ten degrees?'

10 Ezekija odgovori: “Lako je sjeni pomaknuti se deset stupnjeva naprijed! Ne! Neka se sjena vrati natrag za deset stupnjeva!”

And Hezekiah saith, 'It hath been light for the shadow to incline ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow turn backward ten degrees.'

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 calleth unto Jehovah, and He bringeth back the shadow by the degrees that it had gone down in the degrees of Ahaz — backward ten degrees.

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 hath Berodach-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, for he 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 hearkeneth unto them, and sheweth them all the house of his treasury, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the good ointment, and all the house of his vessels, and all that hath been found in his treasuries; there hath not been a thing that Hezekiah hath not shewed them, in his house, and 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.”

And Isaiah the prophet cometh in unto king Hezekiah, and saith unto him, 'What said these men? and whence come they unto thee?' And Hezekiah saith, 'From a land afar off they have come — 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 saith, 'What saw they in thy house?' and Hezekiah saith, 'All that [is] in my house they saw; there hath not been a thing that I have not shewed them among my treasures.'

16 Tada Izaija reče Ezekiji: “Čuj riječ Jahvinu:

And Isaiah saith unto Hezekiah, 'Hear a word of Jehovah:

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, and borne hath been all that [is] in thy house, and that thy father have treasured up till this day, to Babylon; there is not left a thing, said Jehovah;

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 go out from thee, whom thou begettest, they take away, and they have been 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 saith unto Isaiah, 'Good [is] the word of Jehovah that thou hast spoken;' and he saith, 'Is it not — if peace and truth are 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?

And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and bringeth in the waters to the city, are they not written on 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.

And Hezekiah lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Manasseh his son in his stead.
