2 Chronicles 32
1 After King Hezekiah had obeyed Yahweh’s instructions and had done all those things, King Sennacherib of Assyria came [with his army] and invaded Judah. He commanded his soldiers to surround the cities that had walls around them, thinking that they would [break through those walls and] conquer those cities.
Poslije tijeh stvari i pošto se one utvrdiše, doðe Senahirim car Asirski, i uðe u zemlju Judinu, i opkoli tvrde gradove, i mišljaše ih osvojiti.
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come [with his army] and that they intended to attack Jerusalem,
A kad vidje Jezekija gdje doðe Senahirim i gdje se okrenu da udari na Jerusalim,
3 he consulted with his officials and army leaders. They said among themselves, “Why should we allow the king of Assyria [and his army] to come and find plenty of water to drink?” So they decided to stop the water from flowing outside the city. So a large group of men gathered together and blocked all the springs and the stream that flowed through that area.
Uèini vijeæe s knezovima svojim i s junacima svojim da zaroni izvore vodene, koji bijahu iza grada, i pomogoše mu.
Jer se sabra mnoštvo naroda, te zaroniše sve izvore i potok koji teèe posred zemlje govoreæi: zašto kad doðu carevi Asirski da naðu toliko vode?
5 Then they worked hard to repair all the sections of the city wall that had been broken, and they built watchtowers on the walls. They built another wall outside/around the wall that was already outside the city, and they strengthened the defenses on the sloping terraces [on the east side of the area called ‘The City of David’]. They also made a large number of weapons and shields.
I ohrabri se, te ozida vas zid oboreni, i podiže kule, i spolja ozida još jedan zid; i utvrdi Milon u gradu Davidovu, i naèini mnogo oružja i štitova.
6 Hezekiah appointed army commanders, and he gathered them in front of him in the square at one of the city gates, and he encouraged them by saying this to them:
I postavi vojvode nad narodom, i sabra ih k sebi na ulicu kod vrata gradskih, i govori im ljubazno i reèe:
7 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged on account of the king of Assyria and the huge army that is with him, because [Yahweh] is with us, and his [power] is greater than their [power].
Budite slobodni i hrabri, ne bojte se i ne plašite se cara Asirskoga ni svega mnoštva što je s njim, jer je s nama veæi nego s njim.
8 They have to rely on the power of humans, but we have Yahweh our God to help us and to fight battles for us.” So the people became more confident because of what Hezekiah, the king of Judah, said.
S njim je mišica tjelesna a s nama je Gospod Bog naš da nam pomože i da bije naše bojeve. I narod se osloni na rijeèi Jezekije cara Judina.
9 Later, when Sennacherib and all his soldiers were surrounding Lachish [city], he sent some officers to Jerusalem to give this message to King Hezekiah and to all the people of Judah who were there:
Potom Senahirim car Asirski dok bješe na Lahisu sa svom silom svojom, posla sluge svoje u Jerusalim k Jezekiji caru Judinu i ka svemu narodu Judinu koji bijaše u Jerusalimu, i poruèi:
10 “[I am] Sennacherib, the [great] king of Assyria, [and] this is what I say: 'While you are staying in Jerusalem, my soldiers are surrounding the city. So why [RHQ] are you so confident?
Ovako veli Senahirim car Asirski: u što se uzdate, te stojite u Jerusalimu zatvoreni?
11 Hezekiah says to you, “Yahweh our God will save us from [being defeated by the army of] the king of Assyria,” but he is misleading you. He wants you to die from having no food or water.
Ne nagovara li vas Jezekija da vas pomori glaðu i žeðu govoreæi: Gospod Bog naš izbaviæe nas iz ruku cara Asirskoga?
12 Isn’t Hezekiah the one who told his men to get rid of your god Yahweh’s shrines and altars on the hilltops, saying to [you people of] Jerusalem and other places in Judah, “You must worship at only one altar and burn sacrifices on only that altar”?
Nije li taj Jezekija oborio visine njegove i oltare njegove, i zapovjedio Judi i Jerusalimljanima govoreæi: klanjajte se samo pred jednijem oltarom i na njemu kadite?
13 'Do you people not know what I and my ancestors have done to all the people-groups in other countries? [We destroyed them all, and] none of the gods of those nations were ever able to prevent my [troops] from conquering them! So how can your god prevent my soldiers from conquering you?
Eda li ne znate šta sam uèinio ja i moji stari od svijeh naroda na zemlji? jesu li bogovi naroda zemaljskih mogli izbaviti zemlju svoju iz mojih ruku?
Koji je izmeðu svijeh bogova onijeh naroda koje zatrše oci moji, mogao izbaviti svoj narod iz mojih ruku, da bi mogao vaš bog vas izbaviti iz moje ruke?
15 So do not allow Hezekiah to deceive you like this. Do not believe what he says, because no god of any nation or kingdom has ever been able to rescue his people from being conquered by my army and the armies of my ancestors. So certainly your god will not be able to rescue you from my power'.”
Nemojte dakle da vas vara Jezekija i da vas tako nagovara, i ne vjerujte mu; jer nijedan bog nijednoga naroda ili carstva nije mogao izbaviti naroda svojega iz mojih ruku ni iz ruku mojih otaca, akamoli æe vaši bogovi izbaviti vas iz mojih ruku?
16 Sennacherib’s officers said more things to belittle Yahweh the God of the Israelis and Hezekiah, who served God [well].
I još više govoriše sluge njegove na Gospoda Boga i na Jezekiju slugu njegova.
17 King Sennacherib wrote more letters insulting Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [belonged to/worshiped]. He said things like this: “The gods [worshiped by] the people-groups in other countries did not rescue their people from my power. Similarly, the god of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my power.”
A i knjigu napisa ružeæi Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva i govoreæi na nj rijeèima: kao što bogovi naroda zemaljskih nijesu izbavili svojega naroda iz mojih ruku, tako neæe ni Bog Jezekijin izbaviti naroda svojega iz mojih ruku.
18 Then King Sennachereb’s officers shouted in the Hebrew language to the people who were on the wall, in order to cause them to be terrified, thinking that as a result the army of Assyria could capture the city [without a battle].
I vikahu iza glasa Judejski narodu Jerusalimskom koji bijaše na zidu da ih uplaše i smetu da bi uzeli grad.
19 They belittled the God [worshiped by the people] of Jerusalem as they belittled the gods of the other people-groups of the world—saying that they were only [idols] made by humans.
I govorahu o Bogu Jerusalimskom kao o bogovima naroda zemaljskih, koji su djelo ruku èovjeèijih.
20 Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah cried out to God, praying about this.
Tada se pomoli toga radi car Jezekija i prorok Isaija sin Amosov, i vapiše k nebu.
21 And [that night] Yahweh sent an angel who killed all the soldiers of Assyria and their leaders and their officers in the place where the king of Assyria and his army had set up their tents. So the king of Assyria left and returned to his own country, very disgraced. And one day when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons struck him with their swords and killed him.
I posla Gospod anðela, koji pobi sve junake i vojvode i knezove u vojsci cara Asirskoga, te se vrati sa sramotom u svoju zemlju. I kad uðe u kuæu svojega boga, ubiše ga ondje maèem koji izidoše od bedara njegovijeh.
22 That is how Yahweh rescued Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from their other enemies. Yahweh took care of them (OR, gave them peace) everywhere in the country.
Tako saèuva Gospod Jezekiju i narod Jerusalimski od ruku Senahirima cara Asirskoga i od ruku svijeh drugih, i èuva ih na sve strane.
23 Many people brought offerings for Yahweh to Jerusalem, and also brought valuable gifts for King Hezekiah. And from that time, Hezekiah was highly respected/honored by the people of all the other nations.
I mnogi donošahu dare Gospodu u Jerusalim i zaklade Jezekiji caru Judinu; i od tada se uzvisi pred svijem narodima.
24 About that time, Hezekiah became very ill. He was about to die. But he prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh answered his prayer. He performed a miracle [and healed Hezekiah].
U to vrijeme razbolje se Jezekija na smrt, i pomoli se Gospodu, koji mu progovori i uèini mu èudo.
25 But Hezekiah [SYN] was very proud, and he did not thank Yahweh for being kind to him. Therefore Yahweh was angry with him and [and punished him] and [the people of] Jerusalem and other places in Judah.
Ali Jezekija ne postupi prema dobru koje mu se uèini, jer se ponese srce njegovo; zato se podiže na nj gnjev i na Judu i na Jerusalim.
26 Then Hezekiah said that he was sorry for being proud, and the people of Jerusalem also said that they were sorry [for their sins]. So Yahweh did not punish them during the remaining years that Hezekiah [was their king].
Ali se ponizi Jezekija zato što se bješe ponijelo srce njegovo, i on i Jerusalimljani, te ne doðe na njih gnjev Gospodnji za života Jezekijina.
27 Hezekiah became very rich and was greatly honored. His [workers] made storerooms for his silver and gold, and for his very valuable stones, and for spices and shields and other valuable things.
A imaše Jezekija vrlo veliko blago i slavu; i naèini sebi riznice za srebro i zlato i za drago kamenje i za mirise i za štitove i za svakojake zaklade,
28 [His workers] also built buildings to store the grain and wine and [olive] oil [that people produced and brought to him]. They also made stalls for various kinds of cattle and pens for his flocks [of sheep and goats].
I staje za dohode od žita i od vina i od ulja, i staje za svakojaku stoku, i torove za ovce.
29 They built towns and acquired for the king many flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle], because God had enabled him to become very rich.
I gradove sazida sebi, i imaše mnogo stoke, i ovaca i goveda, jer mu Bog dade veoma veliko blago.
30 Hezekiah was the one who told his workers to block the place where the water flows out of the Gihon Spring, and to build a tunnel through which the water flowed to the west side of the area called ‘The City of David’. He was able to do everything that he wanted to do.
Isti Jezekija zagati gornji izvor vode Giona, i pravo je svede dolje na zapadnu stranu grada Davidova; i bijaše sreæan Jezekija u svakom poslu svom.
31 But when messengers who were sent by the rulers of Babylon came and asked about the miracle that God had performed for him, God allowed Hezekiah to say what he himself wanted to say, in order to test [whether or not Hezekiah would admit that God had performed a miracle].
Samo kad doðoše poslanici knezova Vavilonskih, koji poslaše k njemu da raspitaju za èudo koje bi u zemlji, ostavi ga Bog da bi ga iskušao da bi se znalo sve što mu je u srcu.
32 A record of the other things that happened while Hezekiah was ruling, and the things that he did to please God, is on the scroll in which is written the vision that [Yahweh gave to] the prophet Isaiah. It is also written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
A ostala djela Jezekijina i milosti njegove, eto, to je zapisano u utvari proroka Isaije sina Amosova i u knjizi o carevima Judinijem i Izrailjevijem.
33 When Hezekiah died, he was buried in the tombs where the most respected kings [of Judah] were buried. Everyone in Jerusalem and other places in Judah honored him. Then his son Manasseh became the king.
I poèinu Jezekija kod otaca svojih, i pogreboše ga više grobova sinova Davidovijeh; i uèiniše mu na smrti èast svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani. A na njegovo se mjesto zacari Manasija sin njegov.
