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 these things done in faithfulness, came Sennacherib king of Assyria, —and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to break into them for himself.
2 A kad vidje Jezekija gdje doðe Senahirim i gdje se okrenu da udari na Jerusalim,
And, when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, —and that, his face, was—to 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 took counsel with his captains and his heroes, to stop the waters of the fountains, which were outside the city, —and they helped him.
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?
And there were gathered together much people, so they stopped all the fountains, and the torrent that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, —Wherefore should the kings of Assyria come, and find many waters?
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.
And he took courage, and built all the wall that was broken down and carried up thereon towers, and, on the outside, another wall, and strengthened Millo, the city of David, -and made weapons in abundance, and bucklers,
6 I postavi vojvode nad narodom, i sabra ih k sebi na ulicu kod vrata gradskih, i govori im ljubazno i reèe:
and set captains of war over the people, —and gathered them together unto him in the broadway of the gate of the city, and spake unto their heart, 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 bold, do not fear neither be dismayed, because of the king of Assyria, nor because of all the multitude that is with him, —for, with us, is One greater 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 an arm of flesh, but, with us, is Yahweh our God, to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people leaned upon 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:
After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants towards Jerusalem, himself, being near Lachish, and all his imperial might with him, —unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that was in Jerusalem, saying:
10 Ovako veli Senahirim car Asirski: u što se uzdate, te stojite u Jerusalimu zatvoreni?
Thus, saith Sennacherib, king of Assyria, -Upon what, are, ye, trusting, that ye are awaiting the siege in Jerusalem?
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, persuading you, so as to deliver you up to die with hunger and with thirst, saying, —Yahweh our God, will deliver us out of 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?
Is it not, the same Hezekiah, who hath removed his high places, and his altars, —and hath given word to Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Before one altar, shall ye bow yourselves down, and, thereupon, shall ye burn incense?
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?
Will ye not take note, what I have done, I and my fathers, to all the peoples of the countries? Have the gods of the nations of the countries been, at all able, to deliver their country, out of 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 whom my fathers devoted to destruction, hath ever been able to deliver his people out of my hand, —that your god should be able to deliver you out of 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?
Now, therefore, do not let Hezekiah beguile you nor persuade you thus, neither do ye believe him. For no, god, of any nation or kingdom hath ever been able to deliver his people out of my hand, or out of the hand of my fathers, -how much less shall, your gods, deliver you, out of my hand?
16 I još više govoriše sluge njegove na Gospoda Boga i na Jezekiju slugu njegova.
And, yet more, spake his servants, against Yahweh, God, —and against Hezekiah his servant.
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.
Letters, also wrote he, to scoff at Yahweh God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, Like the gods of the nations of the countries, who delivered not their people out of my hand, so, shall the god of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand.
18 I vikahu iza glasa Judejski narodu Jerusalimskom koji bijaše na zidu da ih uplaše i smetu da bi uzeli grad.
Then cried they out, with a loud voice, in the Jews’ language, unto the people of Jerusalem who were upon the wall, to affright them, and to terrify them, —to the end they might capture the city.
19 I govorahu o Bogu Jerusalimskom kao o bogovima naroda zemaljskih, koji su djelo ruku èovjeèijih.
And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, —as against the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of the hands of men.
20 Tada se pomoli toga radi car Jezekija i prorok Isaija sin Amosov, i vapiše k nebu.
And Hezekiah the king and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, prayed concerning this, -and made outcry unto the heavens,
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.
So Yahweh sent a messenger, who cut off every hero of valour, and chief ruler and captain, in the camp of the king of Assyria, —and he returned with shame of face to his own land, and, when he entered the house of his god, then, the issue of his own body—there, caused him to fall by 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.
Thus did Yahweh save Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem out of the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria, and out of the hand of every one, —and 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.
And, many, were bringing in a present unto Yahweh, to Jerusalem, and precious things, unto Hezekiah king of Judah, —so that he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations, from thenceforth.
24 U to vrijeme razbolje se Jezekija na smrt, i pomoli se Gospodu, koji mu progovori i uèini mu èudo.
In those days, was Hezekiah sick unto death, —and, when he prayed unto Yahweh, he was entreated of him and, a wonderful token, he gave him.
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, not according to the benefit done unto him, did Hezekiah make return, for uplifted was his heart, —and so there came upon him, wrath, 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 himself, for the uplifting of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, —so that the wrath of Yahweh came not upon them, in 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,
And it came to pass that, Hezekiah, had riches and honour in great abundance, —and, treasuries, made he for himself—for silver and for gold and for costly stones, and for spices and for precious things, and for all utensils to be coveted;
28 I staje za dohode od žita i od vina i od ulja, i staje za svakojaku stoku, i torove za ovce.
storehouses also, for the increase of corn, and new wine and oil, —and cribs for every kind of beast, and cribs for the flocks;
29 I gradove sazida sebi, i imaše mnogo stoke, i ovaca i goveda, jer mu Bog dade veoma veliko blago.
and, cities, made he for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds, in abundance, —for God had given him exceeding 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.
And, the same Hezekiah, stopped up the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down the west side of the city of David, —and Hezekiah prospered in all his work.
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.
Yet verily, with regard to the ambassadors of the rulers of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire concerning the wonderful token which came to pass in the land, God left him, —to prove him, to take note of all that was in his 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.
But, the rest of the story of Hezekiah, and his lovingkindnesses, there they are, written in the visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, 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 slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the sepulchres of the sons of David, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him, honour, in his death, —and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
