2 Kraljevima 20

1 U to vrijeme razbolje se Jezekija na smrt; i doðe k njemu prorok Isaija sin Amosov i reèe mu: ovako veli Gospod: naredi za kuæu svoju, jer æeš umrijeti i neæeš ostati živ.

In those days Ezechias was sick unto death: and Isaias the son of Amos the prophet came and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Give charge concerning thy house, for thou shalt die, and not live.

2 A on se okrete licem k zidu, i pomoli se Gospodu govoreæi:

And he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying:

3 Oh, Gospode, opomeni se da sam jednako hodio pred tobom vjerno i s cijelijem srcem, i tvorio što je tebi ugodno. I plaka Jezekija veoma.

I beseech thee, O Lord, remember how I have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is pleasing before thee. And Ezechias wept with much weeping.

4 I Isaija još ne bješe otišao do polovine dvora, a doðe mu rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

And before Isaias was gone out of the middle of the court, the word of the Lord came to him, saying:

5 Vrati se i reci Jezekiji, voðu naroda mojega: ovako veli Gospod Bog Davida oca tvojega: èuo sam molitvu tvoju, i vidio sam suze tvoje; evo iscijeliæu te, do tri dana iæi æeš u dom Gospodnji.

Go back, and tell Ezechias the captain of my people: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: and behold I have healed thee; on the third day thou shalt go up to the temple of the Lord.

6 I dodaæu ti vijeku petnaest godina, i izbaviæu tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku cara Asirskoga, i braniæu ovaj grad sebe radi i radi Davida sluge svojega.

And I will add to thy days fifteen years: and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect this city for my own sake, and for David my servant’s sake.

7 Potom reèe Isaija: donesite grudu suhih smokava. I donesavši priviše mu na otok, i iscijeli se.

And Isaias said: Bring me a lump of figs. And when they had brought it, and laid it upon his boil. he was healed.

8 A Jezekija reèe Isaiji: šta æe biti znak da æe me Gospod iscijeliti i da æu do tri dana otiæi u dom Gospodnji?

And Ezechias had said to Isaias: What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the temple of the Lord the third day?

9 A Isaija reèe: ovo neka ti bude znak od Gospoda da æe uèiniti Gospod što je rekao: hoæeš li da otide sjen deset koljenaca naprijed ili da se vrati deset koljenaca natrag?

And Isaias said to him: This shall be the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the word which he hath spoken: Wilt thou that the shadow go forward ten lines, or that it go back so many degrees?

10 A Jezekija reèe: lako je da sjen otide naprijed deset koljenaca; nemoj, nego neka se vrati sjen deset koljenaca natrag.

And Ezechias said: It is an easy matter for the shadow to go forward ten lines: and I do not desire that this be done, but let it return back ten degrees.

11 I Isaija prorok zavapi ka Gospodu, i vrati Gospod sjen po koljencima po kojima bijaše otišao na sunèaniku Ahazovu natrag za deset koljenaca.

And Isaias the prophet called upon the Lord, and he brought the shadow ten degrees backwards by the lines, by which it had already gone down in the dial of Achaz.

12 U to vrijeme Verodah-Valadan, sin Valadanov, car Vavilonski posla knjigu s darom Jezekiji; jer bješe èuo da je bolestan Jezekija.

At that time Berodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of the Babylonians, sent letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard that Ezechias had been sick.

13 I Jezekija saslušav poslanike pokaza im sve riznice svoje, srebro i zlato i mirise, i najbolje ulje, i kuæu gdje mu bješe oružje, i što se god nalažaše u riznicama njegovijem, ne osta ništa da im ne pokaza Jezekija u kuæi svojoj i u svemu gospodstvu svojem.

And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he showed them the house of his aromatical spices, and the gold and the silver, and divers precious odours, and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he had in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions that Ezechias shewed them not.

14 Tada doðe prorok Isaija k caru Jezekiji i reèe mu: šta su govorili ti ljudi i odakle su došli k tebi? A Jezekija reèe: iz daljne zemlje došli su, iz Vavilona.

And Isaias the prophet came to king Ezechias, and said to him: What said these men? or from whence came they to thee? And Ezechias said to him: From a far country they came to me out of Babylon.

15 A on reèe: šta su vidjeli u tvom dvoru? A Jezekija reèe: vidjeli su sve što ima u mom dvoru; nije ostalo ništa u riznicama mojim da im nijesam pokazao.

And he said: What did they see in thy house? Ezechias said: They saw all the things that are in my house: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewn them.

16 Tada reèe Isaija Jezekiji: èuj rijeè Gospodnju.

And Isaias said to Ezechias: Hear the word of the Lord.

17 Evo doæi æe vrijeme kad æe se odnijeti u Vavilon sve što ima u kuæi tvojoj, i što su sabirali oci tvoji do danas, neæe ostati ništa, veli Gospod.

Behold the days shall come, that all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.

18 I sinove tvoje, koji æe izaæi od tebe, koje æeš roditi, uzeæe da budu dvorani u dvoru cara Vavilonskoga.

And of thy sons also that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

19 A Jezekija reèe Isaiji: dobra je rijeè Gospodnja, koju si rekao. Još reèe: je li? za mojega vijeka biæe mir i vjera?

Ezechias said to Isaias: The word of the Lord, which thou hast spoken, is good: let peace and truth be in my days.

20 A ostala djela Jezekijina i sva junaštva njegova, i kako je naèinio jezero, i vodu doveo u grad, nije li zapisano u dnevniku careva Judinijeh?

And the rest of the acts of Ezechias and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought waters into the city, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

21 I poèinu Jezekija kod otaca svojih, a na njegovo se mjesto zacari Manasija sin njegov.

And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
