< 2 Kings 20 >
1 In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order, for your death is near.
V tistih dneh je bil Ezekíja na smrt bolan. K njemu je prišel prerok Izaija, Amócov sin in mu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Uredi svojo hišo, kajti umrl boš, ne pa živel.‹
2 Then, turning his face to the wall, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying,
Potem je on svoj obraz obrnil k steni in molil h Gospodu, rekoč:
3 O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.
»Rotim te, oh Gospod, spomni se sedaj, kako sem pred teboj hodil v resnici, s popolnim srcem in storil sem to, kar je dobro v tvojih očeh.« In Ezekíja je bridko zajokal.
4 Now before Isaiah had gone out of the middle of the town, the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
Pripetilo se je, še preden je Izaija odšel ven na srednji dvor, da je k njemu prišla beseda od Gospoda, rekoč:
5 Go back and say to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, The Lord, the God of David your father, says, Your prayer has come to my ears, and I have seen your weeping; see, I will make you well: on the third day you will go up to the house of the Lord.
»Ponovno se obrni in povej Ezekíju, poveljniku mojega ljudstva: ›Tako govori Gospod, Bog tvojega očeta Davida: ›Slišal sem tvojo molitev in videl sem tvoje solze. Glej, ozdravil te bom. Na tretji dan boš odšel gor v Gospodovo hišo.
6 I will give you fifteen more years of life; and I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria; I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.
Tvojim dnevom bom dodal petnajst let in tebe ter to mesto osvobodil iz roke asirskega kralja in to mesto bom branil zaradi sebe in zaradi svojega služabnika Davida.‹«
7 Then Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. So they took it and put it on his wound, and he got better.
Izaija je rekel: »Vzemite kepo fig.« Vzeli so jo in jo položili na gnojno bulo in si je opomogel.
8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is to be the sign that the Lord will make me well, and that I will go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?
Ezekíja je rekel Izaiju: »Kakšno bo znamenje, da me bo Gospod ozdravil in da bom tretji dan šel gor v Gospodovo hišo?«
9 And Isaiah said, This is the sign the Lord will give you, that he will do what he has said; will the shade go forward ten degrees or back?
Izaija je rekel: »To znamenje boš imel od Gospoda, da bo Gospod storil stvar, ki jo je govoril. Ali naj gre senca deset stopinj naprej ali deset stopinj nazaj?«
10 And Hezekiah said in answer, It is a simple thing for the shade to go forward; but let it go back ten degrees.
Ezekíja je odgovoril: »Lahka stvar je za senco, da gre deset stopinj navzdol. Ne, temveč naj se senca vrne za deset stopinj nazaj.«
11 Then Isaiah the prophet made prayer to the Lord, and he made the shade go back ten degrees from its position on the steps of Ahaz.
Prerok Izaija je klical h Gospodu in ta je senco privedel deset stopinj nazaj, po kateri se je spustila na Aházovi sončni uri.
12 At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill.
Ob tistem času je Baladánov sin Berodáh Baladán, kralj Babilona, poslal Ezekíju pisma in darilo, kajti slišal je, da je bil Ezekíja bolan.
13 And Hezekiah was glad at their coming and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil of great price, and the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores; there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which Hezekiah did not let them see.
Ezekíja jim je prisluhnil in jim razkazal vso hišo svojih dragocenih stvari: srebro, zlato, dišave, dragoceno mazilo, vso hišo svoje bojne opreme in vse, kar se je našlo v njegovih zakladnicah. Nič ni bilo v njegovi hiši niti v vsem njegovem gospostvu, kar jim Ezekíja ni razkazal.
14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.
Tedaj je prišel prerok Izaija h kralju Ezekíju in mu rekel: »Kaj so rekli ti možje? In od kod so prišli k tebi?« Ezekíja je rekel: »Prišli so iz daljne dežele, celó iz Babilona.«
15 And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.
Rekel je: »Kaj so videli v tvoji hiši?« Ezekíja je odgovoril: »Videli so vse stvari, ki so v moji hiši. Ničesar ni med mojimi zakladi, česar jim ne bi razkazal.«
16 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord.
Izaija je rekel Ezekíju: »Poslušaj Gospodovo besedo:
17 Truly, days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone, says the Lord.
›Glej, pridejo dnevi, ko bo vse, kar je v tvoji hiši, in to, kar so tvoji očetje prihranili v shrambi do tega dne, odneseno v Babilon. Nič ne bo ostalo, ‹ govori Gospod.
18 And your sons, the offspring of your body, they will take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.
›Odvedli bodo izmed tvojih sinov, ki bodo izšli iz tebe, ki jih boš zaplodil in bodo evnuhi v palači babilonskega kralja.‹«
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. Then he said, ... if in my time there is peace and righteousness?
Potem je Ezekíja rekel Izaiju: »Dobra je Gospodova beseda, ki si mi jo govoril.« Rekel je: » Ali ni dobro, če bosta v mojih dneh mir in resnica?«
20 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his power, and how he made the pool and the stream, to take water into the town, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Ostala Ezekíjeva dela in vsa njegova moč in kako je naredil bazen in kanal in privedel vodo v mesto, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?
21 And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
Ezekíja je zaspal s svojimi očeti in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Manáse.
