2 Kings 19
1 On hearing this report, King Hezekiah tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and entered the house of the LORD.
A kad to èu car Jezekija, razdrije haljine svoje i veza oko sebe kostrijet, pa otide u dom Gospodnji.
2 And he sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz
I posla Elijakima, koji bijaše nad dvorom, i Somnu pisara i najstarije sveštenike obuèene u kostrijet k Isaiji proroku sinu Amosovu.
3 to tell him, “This is what Hezekiah says: Today is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace; for children have come to the point of birth, but there is no strength to deliver them.
I rekoše mu: ovako veli Jezekija: ovo je dan nevolje i kara i ruga; jer prispješe djeca do poroðaja, a nema snage da se rode.
4 Perhaps the LORD your God will hear all the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to defy the living God, and He will rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that still survives.”
Da ako je èuo Gospod Bog tvoj sve što reèe Ravsak, kojega posla car Asirski gospodar njegov da ruži Boga živoga i da ga vrijeða rijeèima, koje je èuo Gospod Bog tvoj; pomoli se za ostatak koji se nalazi.
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah went to Isaiah,
I doðoše k Isaiji sluge cara Jezekije.
6 who replied, “Tell your master that this is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid of the words you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
I reèe im Isaija: ovako recite gospodaru svojemu: ovako veli Gospod: ne plaši se od rijeèi koje si èuo, kojima huliše na me sluge cara Asirskoga.
7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land, where I will cause him to fall by the sword.’”
Evo, ja æu pustiti na nj duh, te æe èuti glas i vratiti se u svoju zemlju, i uèiniæu da pogine od maèa u svojoj zemlji.
8 When the Rabshakeh heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish, he withdrew and found the king fighting against Libnah.
I tako vrativši se Ravsak naðe cara Asirskoga gdje bije Livnu, jer bješe èuo da je otišao od Lahisa.
9 Now Sennacherib had been warned about Tirhakah king of Cush: “Look, he has set out to fight against you.” So Sennacherib again sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
A on èu za Tiraku cara Huskoga gdje kazaše: evo ide da se bije s tobom. Zato opet posla poslanike k Jezekiji govoreæi:
10 “Give this message to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying that Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Ovako recite Jezekiji caru Judinu: nemoj da te vara Bog tvoj, u kojega se uzdaš govoreæi: neæe se dati Jerusalim u ruke caru Asirskom.
11 Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries, devoting them to destruction. Will you then be spared?
Eto èuo si šta su uèinili carevi Asirski svijem zemljama potrvši ih sasvijem; a ti li æeš se izbaviti?
12 Did the gods of the nations destroyed by my fathers rescue those nations—the gods of Gozan, Haran, and Rezeph, and of the people of Eden in Telassar?
Jesu li narode koje satrše oci moji izbavili bogovi njihovi, Gosance, Harance, Resefe i sinove Edenove, koji bijahu u Telasaru?
13 Where are the kings of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?’”
Gdje je car Ematski i car Arfadski i car od grada Sefarvima, od Ene i Ave?
14 So Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers, read it, and went up to the house of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD.
A kad Jezekija primi knjigu iz ruku poslanika i proèita je, otide u dom Gospodnji, i razvi je Jezekija pred Gospodom.
15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD: “O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.
I pomoli se Jezekija Gospodu govoreæi: Gospode Bože Izrailjev, koji sjediš na heruvimima, ti si sam Bog svijem carstvima na zemlji, ti si stvorio nebo i zemlju,
16 Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see. Listen to the words that Sennacherib has sent to defy the living God.
Prigni, Gospode, uho svoje i èuj; otvori, Gospode, oèi svoje i vidi; èuj rijeèi Senahirima, koji posla da ruži Boga živoga.
17 Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste these nations and their lands.
Istina je, Gospode, opustošili su carevi Asirski one narode i zemlje njihove;
18 They have cast their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods, but only wood and stone—the work of human hands.
I pobacali su bogove njihove u oganj, jer ne bijahu bogovi, nego djelo ruku èovjeèijih, drvo i kamen; zato ih potrše.
19 And now, O LORD our God, please save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O LORD, are God.”
I zato, Gospode Bože naš, izbavi nas iz ruku njegovijeh, da poznadu sva carstva na zemlji da si ti Gospode sam Bog.
20 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria.
Tada posla Isaija sin Amosov k Jezekiji, i poruèi mu: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: uslišio sam za što si mi se molio radi Senahirima cara Asirskoga.
21 This is the word that the LORD has spoken against him: ‘The Virgin Daughter of Zion despises you and mocks you; the Daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head behind you.
Ovo je rijeè koju izreèe Gospod za nj: ruga ti se i potsmijeva ti se djevojka, kæi Sionska, za tobom maše glavom kæi Jerusalimska.
22 Whom have you taunted and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel!
Koga si ružio i hulio? i na koga si podigao glas? i podigao u vis oèi svoje? Na sveca Izrailjeva.
23 Through your servants you have taunted the Lord, and you have said: “With my many chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the remote peaks of Lebanon. I have cut down its tallest cedars, the finest of its cypresses. I have reached its farthest outposts, the densest of its forests.
Preko poslanika svojih ružio si Gospoda i rekao si: s mnoštvom kola svojih izidoh na visoke gore, na strane Livanske, i posjeæi æu visoke kedre njegove i lijepe jele njegove, i uæi æu u krajnji stan njegov, u šumu njegova Karmila.
24 I have dug wells and drunk foreign waters. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
Ja sam kopao i pio vodu tuðu, i isušio sam stopama svojim sve potoke gradovima.
25 Have you not heard? Long ago I ordained it; in days of old I planned it. Now I have brought it to pass, that you should crush fortified cities into piles of rubble.
Nijesi li èuo da ja to odavna èinim i od iskona da sam tako uredio? sada puštam to, da prevratiš tvrde gradove u puste gomile.
26 Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.
Zato koji u njima žive iznemogoše, uplašiše se i smetoše se, postaše kao trava poljska, kao zelena travica, kao trava na krovovima, koja se suši prije nego sazri.
27 But I know your sitting down, your going out and coming in, and your raging against Me.
Znam sjeðenje tvoje, i polaženje tvoje i dolaženje tvoje znam, i kako bjesniš na me.
28 Because your rage and arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’
Jer bjesniš na me, i tvoja obijest doðe do mojih ušiju; zato æu metnuti brnjicu svoju na nozdrve tvoje i uzdu svoju u gubicu tvoju, pa æu te odvesti natrag putem kojim si došao.
29 And this will be a sign to you, O Hezekiah: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from the same. But in the third year you will sow and reap; you will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
A tebi ovo neka bude znak: ješæete ove godine što samo od sebe rodi, i druge godine što opet samo od sebe rodi; a treæe godine sijte i žanjite i sadite vinograde i jedite rod s njih.
30 And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root below and bear fruit above.
Jer ostatak doma Judina, što ostane, opet æe pustiti žile ozdo i roditi ozgo.
31 For a remnant will go forth from Jerusalem, and survivors from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.
Jer æe iz Jerusalima izaæi ostatak, i iz gore Siona, koji se saèuvaju. Revnost Gospoda nad vojskama uèiniæe to.
32 So this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow into it. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege ramp against it.
Zato ovako veli Gospod za cara Asirskoga: neæe uæi u ovaj grad niti æe baciti amo strijele, neæe se primaæi ka njemu sa štitom, niti æe iskopati opkopa oko njega.
33 He will go back the way he came, and he will not enter this city,’
Vratiæe se putem kojim je došao, a u grad ovaj neæe uæi, veli Gospod.
34 ‘I will defend this city and save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.’”
Jer æu braniti taj grad, i saèuvaæu ga sebe radi i radi Davida sluge svojega.
35 And that very night the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!
I istu noæ anðeo Gospodnji izide i pobi u okolu Asirskom sto i osamdeset i pet tisuæa; i kad ustaše ujutru, a to sve sami mrtvaci.
36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
Te se podiže Senahirim car Asirski, i otide, i vrativši se osta u Nineviji.
37 One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat. And his son Esar-haddon reigned in his place.
I kad se klanjaše u domu Nisroka boga svojega, Adrameleh i Sarasar sinovi njegovi ubiše ga maèem, a sami pobjegoše u zemlju Araratsku, i na njegovo se mjesto zacari Esaradon sin njegov.
