2 Kings 19
1 It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of YHWH.
Čuvši to, kralj Ezekija razdrije svoje haljine, obuče kostrijet i ode u Dom Jahvin.
2 He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
Zatim posla Elijakima, upravitelja dvora, pisara Šebnu i svećeničke starješine, odjevene u kostrijet, k proroku Izaiji, sinu Amosovu.
3 They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of trouble, of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them.
Oni mu rekoše: “Ovako veli Ezekija: 'Ovo je dan nevolje, kazne i rugla. Prispješe djeca do rođenja, a nema snage da se rode.
4 It may be YHWH your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which YHWH your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.'"
Možda je Jahve, Bog tvoj, čuo što je rekao veliki peharnik koga je asirski kralj, gospodar njegov, poslao da se izruguje Bogu živome i možda će Jahve, Bog tvoj, kazniti riječi koje je čuo! Pomoli se pobožno za Ostatak koji je još preostao.'”
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Kad su sluge kralja Ezekije stigle k Izaiji,
6 Isaiah said to them, "Thus you shall tell your master, 'Thus says YHWH, "Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
on im reče: “Kažite svome gospodaru: 'Ovako veli Jahve: Ne boj se riječi koje si čuo kada su na me hulile sluge kralja asirskoga.
7 Look, I will put a spirit in him, and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land."'"
Udahnut ću u njega duh i kad čuje jednu vijest, vratit će se u svoju zemlju. I učinit ću da u svojoj zemlji pogine od mača.'”
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
Veliki peharnik vrati se i nađe asirskoga kralja gdje opsjeda Libnu, jer bijaše čuo da je kralj otišao iz Lakiša.
9 When he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, "Look, he has come out to fight against you," he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
Dočuo je, naime, vijest o Tirhaku, kralju etiopskome: “Evo, izašao je da se bori protiv tebe.” Tada Sanherib ponovo uputi poslanike da kažu Ezekiji:
10 'Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, "Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
“Ovako recite judejskom kralju Ezekiji: 'Neka te ne vara tvoj Bog, u koga se uzdaš, govoreći ti: Jeruzalem neće pasti u ruke asirskog kralja!
11 Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Will you be delivered?
Ti znaš što su asirski kraljevi učinili svim zemljama izručivši ih prokletstvu! A ti, ti li ćeš se spasiti?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the people of Eden that were in Telassar?
Jesu li bogovi spasili narode što su ih uništili moji oci: Gozance, Harane, Resefce i Edence, u Tel Basaru?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?"'"
Gdje je kralj hamatski, kralj arpadski, kralj Sefarvajima, Hene i Ive?'”
14 Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the house of YHWH, and spread it before YHWH.
Ezekija primi pismo iz ruke poslanikove i pročita ga. Zatim uđe u Dom Jahvin i razvi ga ondje pred Jahvom.
15 Hezekiah prayed before YHWH, and said, "YHWH, the God of Israel, who sit above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
I pomoli se Ezekija Jahvi ovako: “Jahve, Bože Izraelov, koji stoluješ nad kerubima, ti si Bog jedini nad svim zemaljskim kraljevstvima, ti si stvorio nebo i zemlju.
16 Incline your ear, YHWH, and hear. Open your eyes, YHWH, and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib, with which he has sent to defy the living God.
Prikloni uho, Jahve, i počuj, otvori oči, Jahve, i vidi! Sanheribove čujder riječi koje poruči da izruga Boga živoga.
17 Truly, YHWH, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
Istina je, o Jahve, asirski su kraljevi zatrli narode i zemlje njihove;
18 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed them.
pobacali im u oganj bogove; jer ne bijahu bogovi to, već djela ruku ljudskih, od drveta i kamena; zato ih i uništiše.
19 Now therefore, YHWH our God, save us, I beg you, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, YHWH, are God alone."
Ali sada, Jahve, Bože naš, izbavi nas iz ruke njegove da spoznaju sva kraljevstva zemlje da si ti, Jahve, Bog jedini.”
20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, 'Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard you.
Tada Izaija, sin Amosov, poruči Ezekiji: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Uslišah molitvu koju mi uputi zbog Sanheriba, kralja asirskog.'
21 This is the word that YHWH has spoken concerning him: "The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
Evo riječi što je Jahve objavi protiv njega: Prezire te, ruga ti se djevica, kći sionska; za tobom maše glavom kći jeruzalemska.
22 Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
Koga si grdio, hulio? Na koga si glasno vikao, ohol pogled dizao? Na Sveca Izraelova!
23 By your messengers you have defied YHWH, and have said, 'With the multitude of my chariots, I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees; and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
Po slugama si svojim vrijeđao Gospoda. Govorio si: s mnoštvom kola ja popeh se na vrh gora, na najviše vrhunce Libanona. Posjekoh mu cedre najviše i čemprese ponajljepše. Dosegoh mu vrh najviši i vrt njegov šumoviti.
24 I have dug and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.'
Kopao sam i pio sam vode tuđe; stopalima tad isuših sve rijeke egipatske.
25 Haven't you heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now have I brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
Čuješ li dobro? Odavna to sam snovao, od iskona smišljao, sada to ostvarujem: na tebi je da prometneš gradove tvrde u razvaline.
26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the rooftops when it is scorched by the east wind.
Stanovnici njini, nemoćni, prepadnuti i smeteni, bjehu kao trava u polju, kao mlado zelenilo, kao trava vrh krovova opaljena vjetrom istočnim.
27 But I know your sitting down, and your going out, and your coming in, and your raging against me.
Znam kad se dižeš i kad sjedaš, kad izlaziš i kad se vraćaš.
28 Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came."
Jer bjesnio si na me i jer obijest tvoja do ušiju mi dođe, prsten ću ti provuć' kroz nozdrve, uzde stavit' u žvale, vratit ću te putem kojim si i došao!
29 "'This shall be the sign to you: You shall eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs of the same; and in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat its fruit.
A znak nek' ti bude ovo: Ove će se godine jesti što se samo okrÄunÄi, dogodine što samo uzraste, a treće godine sijte i žanjite, sadite vinograde, jedite im rod.
30 The remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Preživjeli iz kuće Judine žilje će pustit' u dubinu, plodom rodit' u visinu.
31 For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and out of Mount Zion those who shall escape. The zeal of YHWH of hosts will do this.'
Jer će iz Jeruzalema izići Ostatak, Sačuvani s gore Siona. Sve će to učinit' ljubomora Jahvina!
32 "Therefore thus says YHWH concerning the king of Assyria, 'He shall not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
Zato ovo govori Jahve o kralju asirskom: 'U ovaj grad on ući neće, ovamo strijele svoje neće izmetati, k njemu neće ni štit okrenuti, niti oko njega nasipe kopati.
33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come to this city,' says YHWH.
Vratit će se putem kojim je i došao, u grad ovaj neće ući' - Jahvina je riječ.
34 'For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.'"
Grad ću ovaj štitit, spasiti ga, sebe radi i rad sluge svoga Davida.”
35 It happened that night, that the angel of YHWH went out, and struck one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, look, these were all dead bodies.
Te iste noći iziđe Anđeo Jahvin i pobi u asirskom taboru stotinu osamdeset i pet tisuća ljudi. Ujutro kad je valjalo ustati, gle, bijahu ondje sve sami mrtvaci.
36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and lived at Nineveh.
Sanherib podiže tabor i ode. Vratio se u Ninivu.
37 It happened, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
Jednoga dana, dok se klanjao u hramu svoga boga Nisroka, njegovi ga sinovi Adramelek i Sareser ubiše mačem i pobjegoše u zemlju araratsku. Na njegovo se mjesto zakralji sin mu Asar-Hadon.
