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, was Hezekiah sick, unto death, —and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came unto him, and said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh Set in order thy house, for, about to die, thou, art, and shalt not recover.

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

Then he turned his face unto the wall, —and prayed unto Yahweh, 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 Yahweh, remember, I pray thee, how I have walked before thee, in truth, and with a whole heart, and, that which is good in thine eyes, have I done! And Hezekiah wept aloud.

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

And it came to pass that Isaiah, had not gone out into the middle court, when the word of Yahweh came unto 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.

Return, and thou shalt say unto Hezekiah the leader of my people—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, —Behold me! about to heal thee, On the third day, shalt thou go up unto the house of Yahweh;

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 unto thy days, fifteen years, and, out of the hand of the king of Assyria, will I deliver thee, and this city, —and will throw a covering over this city, for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.

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

And Isaiah said—Take ye a cake of figs. So they took and laid it upon the boil, and he recovered,

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

Now Hezekiah had said unto Isaiah, What sign is there, that Yahweh will heal me, —and that I shall go up on the third day, to the house of Yahweh?

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 Isaiah said, —This unto thee, is the sign from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing which he hath spoken, The shadow hath gone forward ten steps, shall it return ten steps?

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

And Hezekiah said—It is, a light thing, for the shadow, to decline ten steps, —Nay, but let the shadow go back ten steps.

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 Isaiah the prophet cried unto Yahweh, and he caused the shadow on the steps by which it had gone down on the steps of Ahaz to go back, ten steps.

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 son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present, unto Hezekiah, —for he had heard that Hezekiah 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 Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all his house of precious things—the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and his armoury, and all that was found among his treasures, —there was, nothing, that Hezekiah shewed them not, in his house or in all his dominion.

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.

Then came Isaiah the prophet unto King Hezekiah, —and said unto him—What said these men, and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a land far off, came they—from 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 have they seen in thy house? Then said Hezekiah—All that is in my house, have they seen, there was, nothing, that I shewed them not, among my treasures.

16 Tada reèe Isaija Jezekiji: èuj rijeè Gospodnju.

Then said Isaiah unto Hezekiah, —Hear thou the word of Yahweh:

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.

Lo! days are coming, when all that is in thine house, and that thy fathers have treasured up, unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon, —nothing shall be left, saith Yahweh;

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

and, of thy sons who shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away, —and they shall become 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?

And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah—Good, is the word of Yahweh, which thou hast spoken. And he said—Is it not, that, peace and stability, there shall 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?

Now, the rest of the story of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool and an aqueduct, and brought water into the city, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

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

So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and, Manasseh his son, reigned, in his stead.
