2 Kings 18
1 And it comes to pass, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz, king of Judah, has reigned;
Treće godine kraljevanja Hošee, sina Elina, u Izraelu, postao je judejskim kraljem Ezekija, sin Ahazov.
2 he was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Abi daughter of Zechariah.
Bilo mu je dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je dvadeset i devet godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Abija, Zaharijina kći.
3 And he does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father David did,
Činio je što je pravo u očima Jahvinim, sasvim kao njegov otac David.
4 he has turned aside the high places, and broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cut down the Asherah, and beaten down the bronze serpent that Moses made, for up to these days the sons of Israel were making incense to it, and he calls it “a piece of bronze.”
On je uklonio uzvišice, srušio je stupove, sasjekao je ašere i razbio zmiju od mjedi koju bijaše načinio Mojsije. Izraelci su joj sve do tada prinosili žrtve. Zvali su je Nehuštan.
5 In YHWH, God of Israel, he has trusted, and after him there has not been like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among any] who were before him;
Pouzdavao se u Jahvu, Boga Izraelova. Ni prije njega ni poslije njega ne bijaše mu ravna među kraljevima judejskim.
6 and he cleaves to YHWH, he has not turned aside from after Him, and keeps His commands that YHWH commanded Moses.
Prionuo je uz Jahvu i nikada se nije okrenuo od njega. Držao je sve zapovijedi što ih je Jahve dao preko Mojsija.
7 And YHWH has been with him; in every place where he goes out he acts wisely, and he rebels against the king of Asshur, and has not served him;
I Jahve bijaše s njim, pomagaše ga u svim njegovim pothvatima. Pobunio se protiv asirskog kralja i nije mu više bio podložan.
8 he has struck the Philistines, even to Gaza and its borders, from a tower of watchers to the fortified city.
On je potukao Filistejce do Gaze, opustošio njihovo područje od stražarskih kula sve do utvrđenih gradova.
9 And it comes to pass, in the fourth year of King Hezekiah—it [is] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel—Shalmaneser king of Asshur has come up against Samaria and lays siege to it,
Četvrte godine vladavine Ezekijine, a to je bila sedma godina kraljevanja izraelskog kralja Hošee, sina Elina, napade asirski kralj Salmanasar Samariju i opsjede je.
10 and they capture it at the end of three years; in the sixth year of Hezekiah—it [is] the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel—Samaria has been captured,
Osvojio ju je nakon tri godine. Šeste godine Ezekijine vladavine, a devete godine izraelskog kralja Hošee, pala je Samarija.
11 and the king of Asshur removes Israel to Asshur, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor [by] the river Gozan, and [in] cities of the Medes,
Asirski je kralj odveo Izraelce u sužanjstvo u Asiriju i naselio ih u Halahu, na Haboru, rijeci gozanskoj, i u medijskim gradovima.
12 because that they have not listened to the voice of their God YHWH, and transgress His covenant—all that He commanded Moses, servant of YHWH—indeed, they have not listened nor done [it].
Bijaše to stoga što nisu poslušali glas Jahve, Boga svoga, i što su prekršili njegov Savez i sve što im je naredio Mojsije, sluga Jahvin. Nisu ništa slušali niti vršili.
13 And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Asshur has come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seizes them,
Četrnaeste godine Ezekijina kraljevanja asirski kralj Sanherib napade utvrđene judejske gradove i osvoji ih.
14 and Hezekiah king of Judah sends to the king of Asshur at Lachish, saying, “I have sinned, turn back from off me; that which you put on me I bear”; and the king of Asshur lays on Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold,
Tada judejski kralj Ezekija poruči asirskom kralju u Lakiš: “Pogriješio sam! Obustavi svoje napade na me. Snosit ću sve što mi nametneš.” Asirski kralj zatraži od Ezekije, judejskog kralja, tri stotine talenata srebra i trideset talenata zlata.
15 and Hezekiah gives all the silver that is found in the house of YHWH and in the treasures of the house of the king;
I dade Ezekija sve srebro što se našlo u Domu Jahvinu i u riznicama kraljevskog dvora.
16 at that time Hezekiah has cut off the doors of the temple of YHWH, and the pillars that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gives them to the king of Asshur.
U to je vrijeme Ezekija obio vrata i vratnice na Svetištu Jahvinu što ih bijaše pozlatio on sam, judejski kralj Ezekija, i posla to asirskom kralju.
17 And the king of Asshur sends Tartan, and the chief of the eunuchs, and the chief of the butlers, from Lachish, to King Hezekiah, with a heavy force, to Jerusalem, and they go up and come to Jerusalem, and they go up, and come in and stand by the conduit of the upper pool that [is] in the highway of the fuller’s field.
Asirski je kralj poslao iz Lakiša u Jeruzalem kralju Ezekiji vrhovnog zapovjednika vojske, velikog dvoranina i peharnika s jakom vojskom. Krenuše oni, a kad su stigli u Jeruzalem, stadoše kod vodovoda Gornjeg ribnjaka, na putu u Valjarevo polje.
18 And they call to the king, and Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer, go out to them.
Oni pozvaše kralja. Pred njim je izašao upravitelj dvora Elijakim, sin Hilkijin, pisar Šebna i savjetnik Joah, sin Asafov.
19 And the chief of the butlers says to them, “Now say to Hezekiah, Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur: What [is] this confidence in which you have confided?
Veliki peharnik reče im: “Kažite Ezekiji: 'Ovako veli veliki kralj, kralj asirski: kakvo je to pouzdanje u koje se uzdaš?
20 You have said: Only a word of the lips! Counsel and might [are] for battle; now, on whom have you trusted that you have rebelled against me?
Misliš li da su prazne riječi već savjet i snaga za rat? U koga se uzdaš da si se pobunio protiv mene?
21 Now behold, you have trusted for yourself on the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; which a man leans on, and it has gone into his hand and pierced it! So [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting on him.
Eto, oslanjaš se na Egipat, na slomljenu trsku koja probada i prodire dlan onomu tko se na nju nasloni. Takav je faraon, kralj egipatski, svima koji se uzdaju u njega.'
22 And when you say to me, We have trusted in our God YHWH, is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has turned aside, and says to Judah and to Jerusalem, You bow yourselves before this altar in Jerusalem?
Možda ćete mi odgovoriti: 'Uzdamo se u Jahvu, Boga svojega.' Ali nije li njemu Ezekija uklonio uzvišice i žrtvenike i zapovjedio Judejcima i Jeruzalemu: 'Samo se pred ovim žrtvenikom u Jeruzalemu klanjajte.'
23 And now, please give a pledge for yourself to my lord the king of Asshur, and I give two thousand horses to you, if you are able to give riders for yourself on them.
Hajde, okladi se s mojim gospodarom, asirskim kraljem: dat ću ti dvije tisuće konja ako mogneš naći jahače za njih!
24 And how do you turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, that you trust for yourself on Egypt for chariot and for horsemen?
Kako ćeš onda odoljeti jednome jedinom od najmanjih slugu moga gospodara? Ali se ti uzdaš u Egipat da će ti dati kola i konjanika.
25 Have I now come up without YHWH against this place to destroy it? YHWH said to me, Go up against this land, and you have destroyed it.”
Naposljetku, zar sam ja mimo volju Jahvinu krenuo protiv ovoga mjesta da ga razorim? Sam mi je Jahve rekao: 'Idi na tu zemlju i razori je!'”
26 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah says—and Shebna and Joah—to the chief of the butlers, “Please speak to your servants [in] Aramaic, for we are understanding, but do not speak with us [in] Jewish, in the ears of the people who [are] on the wall.”
Elijakim, Šebna i Joah rekoše velikom peharniku: “Molimo te, govori svojim slugama aramejski, jer mi razumijemo; ne govori s nama judejski da čuje narod koji je na zidinama!”
27 And the chief of the butlers says to them, “For your lord, and to you, has my lord sent me to speak these words? Is it not for the men—those sitting on the wall—to eat their own dung and to drink their own water, with you?”
Ali im veliki peharnik odgovori: “Zar me moj gospodar poslao da ovo kažem tvome gospodaru i tebi, a ne upravo onim ljudima koji sjede na zidinama, osuđeni da s vama jedu svoju nečist i piju svoju mokraću?”
28 And the chief of the butlers stands and calls with a great voice [in] Jewish, and speaks and says, “Hear a word of the great king, the king of Asshur—
Tada se veliki peharnik uspravi i u sav glas povika na judejskom ove riječi: “Čujte riječ velikoga kralja, kralja asirskog!
29 thus said the king: Do not let Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you out of his hand;
Ovako veli kralj: 'Neka vas Ezekija ne zavarava, jer vas ne može izbaviti iz moje ruke.
30 and do not let Hezekiah make you trust in YHWH, saying, YHWH certainly delivers us, and this city is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
Neka vas Ezekija ne hrabri pouzdanjem u Jahvu govoreći: Jahve će nas sigurno izbaviti, ovaj grad neće pasti u ruke kralju asirskom.'
31 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur: Make a blessing with me, and come out to me, and each eat of his vine, and each [eat] of his fig tree, and each drink the waters of his own well,
Ne slušajte Ezekije, jer ovako veli asirski kralj: 'Sklopite mir sa mnom, predajte mi se, pa neka svaki od vas jede plodove iz svoga vinograda i sa svoje smokve i neka pije vode iz svojega studenca
32 until my coming in, and I have taken you to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil, and honey; and live, and do not die; and do not listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, YHWH delivers us.
dok ne dođem i ne odvedem vas u zemlju kao što je vaša, u zemlju pšenice i mošta, u zemlju kruha i vinograda, u zemlju ulja i meda da biste živjeli i da ne pomrete. Ne dajte da vas Ezekija zaludi govoreći vam: Jahve će vas izbaviti.'
33 Have each of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Asshur?
Jesu li bogovi drugih naroda izbavili svoje zemlje iz ruku asirskoga kralja?
34 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Gdje su bogovi hamatski i arpadski, gdje su bogovi sefarvajimski, henski i ivski, gdje su bogovi samarijski da izbave Samariju iz ruke moje?
35 Who [are they] among all the gods of the lands that have delivered their land out of my hand, that YHWH delivers Jerusalem out of my hand?”
Koji su među svim bogovima tih zemalja izbavili svoju zemlju iz moje ruke da bi Jahve izbavio Jeruzalem iz ruke moje?”
36 And the people have kept silent, and have not answered him a word, for the command of the king is, saying, “Do not answer him.”
Šutjeli su i ni riječi mu nisu odgovorili, jer kralj bijaše zapovjedio: “Ne odgovarajte mu!”
37 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, comes in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer, to Hezekiah, with torn garments, and they declare to him the words of the chief of the butlers.
Upravitelj dvora Elijakim, sin Hilkijin, pisar Šebna i savjetnik Joah, sin Asafov, dođoše k Ezekiji, razdrijevši haljine, i saopćiše mu riječi velikoga peharnika
