Isaija 37
1 A kad to èu car Jezekija, razdrije haljine svoje i veza oko sebe kostrijet, pa otide u dom Gospodnji.
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
2 I posla Elijakima, koji bijaše nad dvorom, i Somnu pisara i najstarije sveštenike obuèene u kostrijet k Isaiji proroku sinu Amosovu.
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 I rekoše mu: ovako veli Jezekija: ovo je dan nevolje i kara i ruga, jer prispješe djeca do poroðaja, a nema snage da se rode.
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Da ako je èuo Gospod Bog tvoj što reèe Ravsak, kojega posla car Asirski gospodar njegov da ruži Boga živoga i da ga vrijeða rijeèima koje je èuo Gospod Bog tvoj, pomoli se za ostatak koji se nalazi.
It may be Jehovah thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 I doðoše k Isaiji sluge cara Jezekije.
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 I reèe im Isaija: ovako recite gospodaru svojemu: ovako veli Gospod: ne plaši se od rijeèi koje si èuo, kojima huliše na me sluge cara Asirskoga.
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith Jehovah, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Evo, ja æu pustiti na nj duh, te æe èuti glas i vratiti se u svoju zemlju, i uèiniæu da pogine od maèa u svojoj zemlji.
Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return unto his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 I tako vrativši se Ravsak naðe cara Asirskoga gdje bije Livnu, jer bješe èuo da je otišao od Lahisa.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 A on èu za Tiraku cara Huskoga gdje kazaše: ide da se bije s tobom. I èuvši posla poslanike k Jezekiji govoreæi:
And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come out to fight against thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 Ovako recite Jezekiji caru Judinu: nemoj da te vara Bog tvoj, u kojega se uzdaš govoreæi: neæe se dati Jerusalim u ruke caru Asirskom.
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Eto, èuo si šta su uèinili carevi Asirski svijem zemljama potrvši ih sasvijem; a ti li æeš se izbaviti?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
12 Jesu li narode koje satrše oci moji izbavili bogovi njihovi, Gosance, Harance, Resefe i sinove Edenove koji bijahu u Telasaru?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Telassar?
13 Gdje je car Ematski i car Arfadski i car od grada Sefarvima, od Ene i Ave?
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
14 A kad Jezekija primi knjigu iz ruku poslanika i proèita je, otide u dom Gospodnji, i razvi je Jezekija pred Gospodom.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
15 I pomoli se Jezekija Gospodu govoreæi:
And Hezekiah prayed unto Jehovah, saying,
16 Gospode nad vojskama, Bože Izrailjev, koji sjediš na heruvimima, ti si sam Bog svijem carstvima na zemlji, ti si stvorio nebo i zemlju.
O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, that sittest [above] the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
17 Prigni, Gospode, uho svoje i èuj; otvori, Gospode, oèi svoje i vidi; èuj sve rijeèi Senahirima, koji posla da ruži Boga živoga.
Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to defy the living God.
18 Istina je, opustošili su carevi Asirski sve one narode i zemlje njihove,
Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the countries, and their land,
19 I pobacali su bogove njihove u oganj, jer ne bijahu bogovi, nego djelo ruku èovjeèijih, drvo i kamen, zato ih potrše.
and have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
20 I zato, Gospode Bože naš, izbavi nas iz ruku njegovijeh, da poznadu sva carstva na zemlji da si ti sam Gospod.
Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Jehovah, even thou only.
21 Tada posla Isaija sin Amosov k Jezekiji i poruèi mu: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: uslišio sam za što si mi se molio radi Senahirima cara Asirskoga.
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
22 Ovo je rijeè koju izreèe Gospod za nj: ruga ti se i potsmijeva ti se djevojka, kæi Sionska, za tobom maše glavom kæi Jerusalimska.
this is the word which Jehovah hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
23 Koga si ružio i hulio? i na koga si podigao glas? i podigao uvis oèi svoje? Na sveca Izrailjeva.
Whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even] against the Holy One of Israel.
24 Preko sluga svojih ružio si Gospoda i rekao si: s mnoštvom kola svojih izidoh na visoke gore, na strane Livanske, i posjeæi æu visoke kedre njegove, i lijepe jele njegove, i doæi æu na najviši kraj njegov, u šumu njegova Karmila.
By thy servants hast thou defied the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof; and I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field;
25 Ja sam kopao, i pio vodu, i isušio sam stopama svojim sve potoke gradovima.
I have digged and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
26 Nijesi li èuo da ja to odavna èinim i od iskona da sam tako uredio? sada puštam to, da prevratiš tvrde gradove u puste gomile.
Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that it should be thine to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
27 Zato koji u njima žive iznemogoše, uplašiše se i smetoše se, postaše kao trava poljska, kao zelena travica, kao trava na krovovima, koja se suši prije nego sazri.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as a field [of grain] before it is grown up.
28 Znam sjeðenje tvoje i polaženje tvoje i dolaženje tvoje i kako bjesniš na me.
But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
29 Jer bjesniš na me, i tvoja obijest doðe do mojih ušiju, zato æu metnuti brnjicu svoju na nozdrve tvoje, i uzdu svoju u gubicu tvoju, pa æu te odvesti natrag putem kojim si došao.
Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
30 A tebi ovo neka bude znak: ješæete ove godine što samo od sebe rodi, a druge godine što opet samo od sebe rodi; a treæe godine sijte i žanjite i sadite vinograde i jedite rod iz njih.
And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31 Jer ostatak doma Judina, što ostane, opet æe pustiti žile ozdo i roditi ozgo.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32 Jer æe iz Jerusalima izaæi ostatak, i iz gore Siona, koji se saèuvaju. Revnost Gospoda nad vojskama uèiniæe to.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
33 Zato ovako veli Gospod za cara Asirskoga: neæe uæi u ovaj grad, niti æe baciti amo strijele, neæe se primaæi k njemu sa štitom, niti æe iskopati opkopa oko njega.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
34 Vratiæe se putem kojim je došao, a u grad ovaj neæe uæi, veli Gospod.
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith Jehovah.
35 Jer æu braniti taj grad i saèuvaæu ga sebe radi i radi Davida sluge svojega.
For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36 Tada izide anðeo Gospodnji i pobi u okolu Asirskom sto i osamdeset i pet tisuæa; i kad ustaše ujutru, a to sve sami mrtvaci.
And the angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
37 Te se podiže Senahirim car Asirski, i otide, i vrativši se osta u Nineviji.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
38 I kad se klanjaše u domu Nisroka boga svojega, Adrameleh i Sarasar sinovi njegovi ubiše ga maèem, a sami pobjegoše u zemlju Araratsku, i na njegovo se mjesto zacari Esaradon sin njegov.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
