2 Kings 18
1 Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
A treæe godine carovanja Osije sina Ilina nad Izrailjem zacari se Jezekija sin Ahazov nad Judom.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
Bijaše mu dvadeset i pet godina kad poèe carovati, i carova dvadeset i devet godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Avija, kæi Zaharijina.
3 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.
I èinjaše što je pravo pred Gospodom sasvijem kao što je èinio David otac njegov.
4 He removed the high places, broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
On obori visine, i izlomi likove i isjeèe lugove, i razbi zmiju od mjedi, koju bješe naèinio Mojsije, jer joj do tada kaðahu sinovi Izrailjevi; i prozva je Neustan.
5 He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
Uzdaše se u Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva, i ne bi takoga izmeðu svijeh careva Judinijeh poslije njega ni prije njega.
6 For he joined with the LORD. He didn’t depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
Jer prionu za Gospoda, ne otstupi od njega, nego drža zapovijesti koje zapovjedi Gospod Mojsiju.
7 The LORD was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn’t serve him.
I Gospod bijaše s njim; kuda god iðaše napredovaše; i odmetnu se od cara Asirskoga, te mu ne bi sluga.
8 He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
On pobi Filisteje do Gaze i meðe njezine, od kule stražarske do grada ozidana.
9 In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.
A èetvrte godine carovanja Jezekijina, a to je sedma godina carovanja Osije sina Ilina nad Izrailjem, podiže se Salmanasar car Asirski na Samariju, i opkoli je.
10 At the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
I poslije tri godine uze je; šeste godine carovanja Jezekijina, a devete godine carovanja Osijina nad Izrailjem, bi uzeta Samarija.
11 The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
I odvede car Asirski Izrailjce u Asiriju, i naseli ih u Alaju i u Avoru na vodi Gozanu i po gradovima Midskim.
12 because they didn’t obey the LORD their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear it or do it.
Jer ne slušaše glasa Gospoda Boga svojega i prestupaše zavjet njegov, sve što im je zapovjedio Mojsije sluga Gospodnji, ne slušaše niti tvoriše.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.
A èetrnaeste godine carovanja Jezekijina podiže se Senahirim car Asirski na sve tvrde gradove Judine, i uze ih.
14 Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Tada Jezekija car Judin posla u Lahis k caru Asirskom i poruèi mu: zgriješio sam; vrati se od mene, što god nametneš na me nosiæu. A car Asirski nametnu na Jezekiju cara Judina trista talanata srebra i trideset talanata zlata.
15 Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house.
I dade car Jezekija sve srebro što se naðe u domu Gospodnjem i u riznicama carskoga dvora.
16 At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the LORD’s temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
U to vrijeme car Jezekija raskopa vrata na crkvi Gospodnjoj i pragove koje sam bješe okovao, i dade caru Asirskom.
17 The king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.
Ali car Asirski posla Tartana i Ravsarisa i Ravsaka iz Lahisa k caru Jezekiji u Jerusalim s velikom vojskom; i oni se podigoše i doðoše u Jerusalim; i podigavši se i došavši stadoše kod jaza gornjega jezera, koji je pokraj puta u polju bjeljarevu.
18 When they had called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came out to them.
I stadoše vikati cara. Tada doðe k njima Elijakim sin Helkijin, koji bijaše nad dvorom, i Somna pisar i Joah sin Asafov pametar.
19 Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
I reèe im Ravsak: kažite caru Jezekiji: ovako kaže veliki car, car Asirski: kakva je to uzdanica, u koju se uzdaš?
20 You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
Ti veliš, ali su prazne rijeèi, da imaš svjeta i sile za rat. U što se dakle uzdaš, te si se odmetnuo od mene?
21 Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
Gle, uzdaš se u Misir, u štap od trske slomljene, na koji ako se ko nasloni, uæi æe mu u ruku i probošæe je; taki je Faraon car Misirski svima koji se uzdaju u nj.
22 But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?
Ako li mi reèete: uzdamo se u Gospoda Boga svojega; nije li to onaj èije je visine i oltare oborio Jezekija i zapovjedio Judi i Jerusalimu: pred ovijem oltarom klanjajte se u Jerusalimu.
23 Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
Hajde, zateci se mojemu gospodaru caru Asirskom; i daæu ti dvije tisuæe konja, ako možeš dobaviti koji æe jahati na njima.
24 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Kako æeš dakle odbiti i jednoga vojvodu izmeðu najmanjih sluga gospodara mojega? Ali se ti uzdaš u Misir za kola i konjike.
25 Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”’”
Svrh toga, eda li sam ja bez Gospoda došao na ovo mjesto da ga zatrem? Gospod mi je rekao: idi na tu zemlju, i zatri je.
26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
Tada Elijakim sin Helkijin i Somna i Joah rekoše Ravsaku: govori slugama svojim Sirski, jer razumijemo, a nemoj nam govoriti Judejski da sluša narod na zidu.
27 But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you, to speak these words? Hasn’t he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?”
A Ravsak im reèe: eda li me je gospodar moj poslao ka gospodaru tvojemu ili k tebi da kažem ove rijeèi? nije li k tijem ljudima, što sjede na zidu, da jedu svoju neèist i da piju svoju mokraæu s vama?
28 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spoke, saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Tada stade Ravsak i povika iza glasa Judejski, i reèe govoreæi: èujte rijeè velikoga cara, cara Asirskoga.
29 The king says, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
Ovako kaže car: nemojte da vas vara Jezekija; jer vas ne može izbaviti iz moje ruke.
30 Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
Nemojte da vas nagovori Jezekija da se pouzdate u Gospoda, govoreæi: Gospod æe nas izbaviti, i ovaj se grad neæe dati u ruke caru Asirskom.
31 Don’t listen to Hezekiah.’ For the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat from his own vine, and everyone from his own fig tree, and everyone drink water from his own cistern;
Ne slušajte Jezekije; jer ovako kaže car Asirski: uèinite mir sa mnom, i hodite k meni, pa jedite svaki sa svoga èokota i svaki sa svoje smokve, i pijte svaki iz svojega studenca.
32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.”
Dokle ne doðem i odnesem vas u zemlju kao što je vaša, u zemlju obilnu žitom i vinom, u zemlju obilnu hljebom i vinogradima, u zemlju obilnu maslinom i uljem i medom, pa æete živjeti i neæete izginuti. Ne slušajte Jezekije, jer vas vara govoreæi: Gospod æe nas izbaviti.
33 Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Je li koji izmeðu bogova drugih naroda izbavio svoju zemlju iz ruke cara Asirskoga?
34 Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Gdje su bogovi Ematski i Arfadski? gdje su bogovi Sefarvimski, Enski i Avski? jesu li izbavili Samariju iz mojih ruku?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
Koji su izmeðu svijeh bogova ovijeh zemalja izbavili zemlju svoju iz moje ruke? a Gospod æe izbaviti Jerusalim iz moje ruke?
36 But the people stayed quiet, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”
Ali narod muèaše, i ne odgovoriše mu ni rijeèi, jer car bješe zapovjedio i rekao: ne odgovarajte mu.
37 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him Rabshakeh’s words.
Tada Elijakim sin Helkijin, koji bijaše nad dvorom, i Somna pisar i Joah sin Asafov, pametar, doðoše k Jezekiji razdrvši haljine, i kazaše mu rijeèi Ravsakove.
