2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things and these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came and entered Judah. He camped to attack the fortified cities, which he intended to capture for himself.
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 and that he intended to fight against Jerusalem,
A kad vidje Jezekija gdje doðe Senahirim i gdje se okrenu da udari na Jerusalim,
3 he consulted with his leaders and his powerful men to stop up the waters of the springs that were outside the city; they helped him do so.
Uèini vijeæe s knezovima svojim i s junacima svojim da zaroni izvore vodene, koji bijahu iza grada, i pomogoše mu.
4 So many people gathered together and stopped up all the springs and the stream that was flowing through the middle of the land. They said, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find a lot of water?”
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 Hezekiah took courage and built up all the wall that was broken down. He built the towers higher, and also the other wall outside. He also strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and he made large amounts 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 He placed military commanders over the people. He gathered them together to him in the broad place at the city gate and spoke encouragingly to them. He said,
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 of good courage. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and all the army that is with him, for someone is with us who is greater than those with him.
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 With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is Yahweh, our God, to help us, and to fight our battles.” Then the people comforted themselves with the words of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
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 After this, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, sent his servants to Jerusalem (now he was in front of Lachish, and all his army was with him), to Hezekiah, king of Judah, and to all of Judah who were in Jerusalem. He said,
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 “This is what Sennacherib, king of Assyria, says: What are you relying on in order to endure a siege in Jerusalem?
Ovako veli Senahirim car Asirski: u što se uzdate, te stojite u Jerusalimu zatvoreni?
11 Is not Hezekiah misleading you, that he may give you over to die by famine and by thirst, when he tells you, 'Yahweh our God will rescue us from the hand of the king of Assyria'?
Ne nagovara li vas Jezekija da vas pomori glaðu i žeðu govoreæi: Gospod Bog naš izbaviæe nas iz ruku cara Asirskoga?
12 Has not this same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, 'On one altar you must worship, and on it you must burn your sacrifices'?
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 not know what I and my ancestors have done to all the peoples of the other lands? Were the gods of the peoples of the surrounding lands able in any way to rescue their land from my power?
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?
14 Among all the gods of those nations that my ancestors completely destroyed, was there any god who could rescue his people out of my hand? Why should your God be able to rescue you from my power?
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 Now do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you in this way. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to rescue his people out of my hand, or out of the hand of my ancestors. How much less will your God rescue you from my hand?”
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 servants spoke even more against Yahweh God and against his servant Hezekiah.
I još više govoriše sluge njegove na Gospoda Boga i na Jezekiju slugu njegova.
17 Sennacherib also wrote letters in order to mock Yahweh, the God of Israel, and to speak against him. He said, “As the gods of the nations of the lands have not rescued their people out of my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not rescue his people out of my hand.”
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 They cried out in the language of the Jews to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and trouble them, in order that they might capture the city.
I vikahu iza glasa Judejski narodu Jerusalimskom koji bijaše na zidu da ih uplaše i smetu da bi uzeli grad.
19 They spoke of the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken of the gods of the other peoples of the earth, which are merely the work of men's hands.
I govorahu o Bogu Jerusalimskom kao o bogovima naroda zemaljskih, koji su djelo ruku èovjeèijih.
20 Hezekiah, the king, and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, prayed because of this matter and he cried out to heaven.
Tada se pomoli toga radi car Jezekija i prorok Isaija sin Amosov, i vapiše k nebu.
21 Yahweh sent an angel, who killed the fighting men, the commanders, and the officers of the king in the camp. So Sennacherib returned to his own land with shame on his face. When he had gone into the house of his god, some of his own children killed him there with the sword.
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 In this way, Yahweh saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and gave them rest on every side.
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 were bringing offerings to Yahweh in Jerusalem, and precious gifts to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was lifted up in the eyes of all nations from that time forward.
I mnogi donošahu dare Gospodu u Jerusalim i zaklade Jezekiji caru Judinu; i od tada se uzvisi pred svijem narodima.
24 In those days Hezekiah was sick to the point of dying. He prayed to Yahweh, who spoke to him and gave him a sign that he would be healed.
U to vrijeme razbolje se Jezekija na smrt, i pomoli se Gospodu, koji mu progovori i uèini mu èudo.
25 But Hezekiah did not pay back Yahweh for the help given to him, for his heart was lifted up. So anger came on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.
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 Nevertheless, Hezekiah later humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that Yahweh's anger did not come on them during Hezekiah's days.
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 had very many riches and much honor. He provided himself with storerooms for silver, gold, precious stones, and for spices, as well as for shields and for all kinds of valuable objects.
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 He also had storehouses for the harvest of grain, new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of animals. He also had flocks in their pens.
I staje za dohode od žita i od vina i od ulja, i staje za svakojaku stoku, i torove za ovce.
29 In addition, he provided himself with cities and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, for God had given him very much wealth.
I gradove sazida sebi, i imaše mnogo stoke, i ovaca i goveda, jer mu Bog dade veoma veliko blago.
30 It was this same Hezekiah who also stopped up the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and who brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. Hezekiah succeeded in all his projects.
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 However, in the matter of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to ask questions of those who knew, about the miraculous sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to test him, and to know all that was in his heart.
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 As for the other matters concerning Hezekiah, including his actions of covenant loyalty, you can see that they are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz, and in the book 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 Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him on the hill of the tombs of the descendants of David. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Manasseh his son became king in his place.
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.
