2 Dnevnika 32
1 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.
After all these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah. He laid siege to the fortified cities, intending to conquer them for himself.
2 A kad vidje Jezekija gdje doðe Senahirim i gdje se okrenu da udari na Jerusalim,
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come to make war against Jerusalem,
3 Uèini vijeæe s knezovima svojim i s junacima svojim da zaroni izvore vodene, koji bijahu iza grada, i pomogoše mu.
he consulted with his leaders and commanders about stopping up the waters of the springs outside the city, and they helped him carry it out.
4 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?
Many people assembled and stopped up all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find plenty of water?” they said.
5 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.
Then Hezekiah worked resolutely to rebuild all the broken sections of the wall and to raise up towers on it. He also built an outer wall and reinforced the supporting terraces of the City of David, and he produced an abundance of weapons and shields.
6 I postavi vojvode nad narodom, i sabra ih k sebi na ulicu kod vrata gradskih, i govori im ljubazno i reèe:
Hezekiah appointed military commanders over the people and gathered the people in the square of the city gate. Then he encouraged them, saying,
7 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.
“Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged before the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater One with us than with him.
8 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.
With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” So the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9 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:
Later, as Sennacherib king of Assyria and all his forces besieged Lachish, he sent his servants to Jerusalem with a message for King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah who were in Jerusalem:
10 Ovako veli Senahirim car Asirski: u što se uzdate, te stojite u Jerusalimu zatvoreni?
“This is what Sennacherib king of Assyria says: What is the basis of your confidence, that you remain in Jerusalem under siege?
11 Ne nagovara li vas Jezekija da vas pomori glaðu i žeðu govoreæi: Gospod Bog naš izbaviæe nas iz ruku cara Asirskoga?
Is not Hezekiah misleading you to give you over to death by famine and thirst when he says, ‘The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria?’
12 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?
Did not Hezekiah himself remove His high places and His altars and say to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn sacrifices’?
13 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?
Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Have the gods of these nations ever been able to deliver their land from my hand?
14 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?
Who among all the gods of these nations that my fathers devoted to destruction has been able to deliver his people from my hand? How then can your God deliver you from my hand?
15 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?
So now, do not let Hezekiah deceive you, and do not let him mislead you like this. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand!”
16 I još više govoriše sluge njegove na Gospoda Boga i na Jezekiju slugu njegova.
And the servants of Sennacherib spoke further against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah.
17 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.
He also wrote letters mocking the LORD, the God of Israel, and saying against Him: “Just as the gods of the nations did not deliver their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.”
18 I vikahu iza glasa Judejski narodu Jerusalimskom koji bijaše na zidu da ih uplaše i smetu da bi uzeli grad.
Then the Assyrians called out loudly in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them in order to capture the city.
19 I govorahu o Bogu Jerusalimskom kao o bogovima naroda zemaljskih, koji su djelo ruku èovjeèijih.
They spoke against the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken against the gods of the peoples of the earth—the work of human hands.
20 Tada se pomoli toga radi car Jezekija i prorok Isaija sin Amosov, i vapiše k nebu.
In response, King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out to heaven in prayer,
21 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.
and the LORD sent an angel who annihilated every mighty man of valor and every leader and commander in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he entered the temple of his god, some of his own sons struck him down with the sword.
22 Tako saèuva Gospod Jezekiju i narod Jerusalimski od ruku Senahirima cara Asirskoga i od ruku svijeh drugih, i èuva ih na sve strane.
So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hands of King Sennacherib of Assyria and all the others, and He gave them rest on every side.
23 I mnogi donošahu dare Gospodu u Jerusalim i zaklade Jezekiji caru Judinu; i od tada se uzvisi pred svijem narodima.
Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the LORD and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah, and from then on he was exalted in the eyes of all nations.
24 U to vrijeme razbolje se Jezekija na smrt, i pomoli se Gospodu, koji mu progovori i uèini mu èudo.
In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. So he prayed to the LORD, who spoke to him and gave him a sign.
25 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.
But because his heart was proud, Hezekiah did not repay the favor shown to him. Therefore wrath came upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
26 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.
Then Hezekiah humbled the pride of his heart—he and the people of Jerusalem—so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them during the days of Hezekiah.
27 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,
Hezekiah had very great riches and honor, and he made treasuries for his silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and all kinds of valuable articles.
28 I staje za dohode od žita i od vina i od ulja, i staje za svakojaku stoku, i torove za ovce.
He also made storehouses for the harvest of grain and new wine and oil, stalls for all kinds of livestock, and pens for the flocks.
29 I gradove sazida sebi, i imaše mnogo stoke, i ovaca i goveda, jer mu Bog dade veoma veliko blago.
He made cities for himself, and he acquired herds of sheep and cattle in abundance, for God gave him very great wealth.
30 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.
It was Hezekiah who blocked the upper outlet of the Spring of Gihon and channeled it down to the west side of the City of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all that he did.
31 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.
And so when ambassadors of the rulers of Babylon were sent to him to inquire about the wonder that had happened in the land, God left him alone to test him, that He might know all that was in Hezekiah’s heart.
32 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.
As for the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his deeds of loving devotion, they are indeed written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
33 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.
And Hezekiah rested with his fathers and was buried in the upper tombs of David’s descendants. All Judah and the people of Jerusalem paid him honor at his death. And his son Manasseh reigned in his place.
