2 Kings 20
1 In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.'"
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.'”
2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,
Ezekija se okrenu zidu i ovako se pomoli Jahvi:
3 "Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight." Hezekiah wept bitterly.
“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.
4 It happened, before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
Izaija još ne bijaše izišao iz središnjeg predvorja kad mu je stigla riječ Jahvina:
5 "Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Look, I will heal you. On the third day, you shall go up to the house of the LORD.
“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.
6 I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake."'"
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.'”
7 Isaiah said, "Take a cake of figs." They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
Izaija naloži: “Uzmite oblog od smokava, privijte mu ga na čir i on će ozdraviti.”
8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the LORD the third day?"
Ezekija upita Izaiju: “Po kojem ću znaku prepoznati da će me Jahve izliječiti i da ću za tri dana uzići u Dom Jahvin?”
9 Isaiah said, "This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?"
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?”
10 Hezekiah answered, "It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. Nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps."
Ezekija odgovori: “Lako je sjeni pomaknuti se deset stupnjeva naprijed! Ne! Neka se sjena vrati natrag za deset stupnjeva!”
11 Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.
Prorok Izaija zazva Jahvu i on učini da se sjena vrati za deset stupnjeva. Sišla je za deset posljednjih stupnjeva na Ahazovu sunčaniku.
12 At that time Marduk-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick, and had recovered.
U to vrijeme posla babilonski kralj Merodak-Baladan, sin Baladanov, pisma s darom Ezekiji, jer bijaše čuo da se razbolio i ozdravio.
13 Hezekiah was delighted at this, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
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.
14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, "What did these men say? From where did they come to you?" Hezekiah said, "They have come from a far country, even from Babylon."
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.”
15 He said, "What have they seen in your house?" Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them."
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.”
16 Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the LORD.
Tada Izaija reče Ezekiji: “Čuj riječ Jahvinu:
17 'Look, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left,' says the LORD.
'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.
18 'Of your sons who shall issue from you, whom you shall father, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'"
A od sinova što poteku od tebe, što ti se rode, neke će uzeti da budu uškopljeni dvorani u palači babilonskoga kralja.”
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the LORD which you have spoken is good." He said moreover, "Isn't it so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?"
Ezekija odgovori Izaiji: “Povoljna je riječ koju ti je Jahve objavio.” A mislio je: “Zašto ne? Ako bude mira i sigurnosti za moga života!”
20 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
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?
21 Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
Ezekija je počinuo sa svojim ocima, a njegov sin Manaše zakralji se mjesto njega.
