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 Hezekiah was sick to the point of dying. So Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet came to him, and said to him, “Yahweh says, 'Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live.'”
2 A on se okrete licem k zidu, i pomoli se Gospodu govoreæi:
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to 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.
“Please, Yahweh, call to mind how I have faithfully walked before you with my whole heart, and how I have done what was good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept loudly.
4 I Isaija još ne bješe otišao do polovine dvora, a doðe mu rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle courtyard, the word of Yahweh 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.
“Turn back, and say to Hezekiah, the leader of my people, 'This is what Yahweh, the God of David your ancestor, says: “I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. I am about to heal you on the third day, and you will go up to 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.
I will add fifteen years to your life, and I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city for my own sake and for my servant David's sake.”'”
7 Potom reèe Isaija: donesite grudu suhih smokava. I donesavši priviše mu na otok, i iscijeli se.
So Isaiah said, “Take a lump of figs.” They did so and put it on his 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?
Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that Yahweh will heal me, and that I should go up to the temple of Yahweh on 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?
Isaiah replied, “This will be the sign for you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing that he has spoken. Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?”
10 A Jezekija reèe: lako je da sjen otide naprijed deset koljenaca; nemoj, nego neka se vrati sjen deset koljenaca natrag.
Hezekiah answered, “It is an easy thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, let the shadow go backward 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.
So Isaiah the prophet cried out to Yahweh, and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, from where it had moved on the stairway of Ahaz.
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 Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to 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.
Hezekiah listened to those letters, and then showed the messengers all the palace and his valuable things, the silver, the gold, the spices and precious oil, and the storehouse of his weapons, and all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his kingdom, that Hezekiah did not show them.
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 Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and asked him, “What did these men say to you? Where did they come from?” Hezekiah said, “They came from the distant country 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.
Isaiah asked, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen everything in my house. There is nothing among my valuable things that I have not shown them.”
16 Tada reèe Isaija Jezekiji: èuj rijeè Gospodnju.
So Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to 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.
'Look, the days are about to come when everything in your palace, the things that your ancestors stored away until this present day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says Yahweh.
18 I sinove tvoje, koji æe izaæi od tebe, koje æeš roditi, uzeæe da budu dvorani u dvoru cara Vavilonskoga.
The sons born from you, whom you yourself have fathered—they will take them away, and they will 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?
Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “Will there not be peace and stability 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?
As for the other matters concerning Hezekiah, and all his power, and how he constructed the pool and the conduit, and how he brought water into the city—are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
21 I poèinu Jezekija kod otaca svojih, a na njegovo se mjesto zacari Manasija sin njegov.
Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
