2 Kralji 20

1 V tistih dneh je bil Ezekíja na smrt bolan. K njemu je prišel prerok Izaija, Amócov sin in mu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Uredi svojo hišo, kajti umrl boš, ne pa živel.‹

In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, "Thus says YHWH, 'Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.'"

2 Potem je on svoj obraz obrnil k steni in molil h Gospodu, rekoč:

Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to YHWH, saying,

3 »Rotim te, oh Gospod, spomni se sedaj, kako sem pred teboj hodil v resnici, s popolnim srcem in storil sem to, kar je dobro v tvojih očeh.« In Ezekíja je bridko zajokal.

"Remember now, YHWH, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight." Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Pripetilo se je, še preden je Izaija odšel ven na srednji dvor, da je k njemu prišla beseda od Gospoda, rekoč:

It happened, before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, that the word of YHWH came to him, saying,

5 »Ponovno se obrni in povej Ezekíju, poveljniku mojega ljudstva: ›Tako govori Gospod, Bog tvojega očeta Davida: ›Slišal sem tvojo molitev in videl sem tvoje solze. Glej, ozdravil te bom. Na tretji dan boš odšel gor v Gospodovo hišo.

"Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, 'Thus says YHWH, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Look, I will heal you. On the third day, you shall go up to the house of YHWH.

6 Tvojim dnevom bom dodal petnajst let in tebe ter to mesto osvobodil iz roke asirskega kralja in to mesto bom branil zaradi sebe in zaradi svojega služabnika Davida.‹«

I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake."'"

7 Izaija je rekel: »Vzemite kepo fig.« Vzeli so jo in jo položili na gnojno bulo in si je opomogel.

Isaiah said, "Take a cake of figs." They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

8 Ezekíja je rekel Izaiju: »Kakšno bo znamenje, da me bo Gospod ozdravil in da bom tretji dan šel gor v Gospodovo hišo?«

Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "What shall be the sign that YHWH will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of YHWH the third day?"

9 Izaija je rekel: »To znamenje boš imel od Gospoda, da bo Gospod storil stvar, ki jo je govoril. Ali naj gre senca deset stopinj naprej ali deset stopinj nazaj?«

Isaiah said, "This shall be the sign to you from YHWH, that YHWH will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?"

10 Ezekíja je odgovoril: »Lahka stvar je za senco, da gre deset stopinj navzdol. Ne, temveč naj se senca vrne za deset stopinj nazaj.«

Hezekiah answered, "It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. Nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps."

11 Prerok Izaija je klical h Gospodu in ta je senco privedel deset stopinj nazaj, po kateri se je spustila na Aházovi sončni uri.

Isaiah the prophet cried to YHWH; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.

12 Ob tistem času je Baladánov sin Berodáh Baladán, kralj Babilona, poslal Ezekíju pisma in darilo, kajti slišal je, da je bil Ezekíja bolan.

At that time Marduk-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick, and had recovered.

13 Ezekíja jim je prisluhnil in jim razkazal vso hišo svojih dragocenih stvari: srebro, zlato, dišave, dragoceno mazilo, vso hišo svoje bojne opreme in vse, kar se je našlo v njegovih zakladnicah. Nič ni bilo v njegovi hiši niti v vsem njegovem gospostvu, kar jim Ezekíja ni razkazal.

Hezekiah was delighted at this, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.

14 Tedaj je prišel prerok Izaija h kralju Ezekíju in mu rekel: »Kaj so rekli ti možje? In od kod so prišli k tebi?« Ezekíja je rekel: »Prišli so iz daljne dežele, celó iz Babilona.«

Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, "What did these men say? From where did they come to you?" Hezekiah said, "They have come from a far country, even from Babylon."

15 Rekel je: »Kaj so videli v tvoji hiši?« Ezekíja je odgovoril: »Videli so vse stvari, ki so v moji hiši. Ničesar ni med mojimi zakladi, česar jim ne bi razkazal.«

He said, "What have they seen in your house?" Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them."

16 Izaija je rekel Ezekíju: »Poslušaj Gospodovo besedo:

Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of YHWH.

17 ›Glej, pridejo dnevi, ko bo vse, kar je v tvoji hiši, in to, kar so tvoji očetje prihranili v shrambi do tega dne, odneseno v Babilon. Nič ne bo ostalo, ‹ govori Gospod.

'Look, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left,' says YHWH.

18 ›Odvedli bodo izmed tvojih sinov, ki bodo izšli iz tebe, ki jih boš zaplodil in bodo evnuhi v palači babilonskega kralja.‹«

'Of your sons who shall issue from you, whom you shall father, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'"

19 Potem je Ezekíja rekel Izaiju: »Dobra je Gospodova beseda, ki si mi jo govoril.« Rekel je: » Ali ni dobro, če bosta v mojih dneh mir in resnica?«

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of YHWH which you have spoken is good." He said moreover, "Isn't it so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?"

20 Ostala Ezekíjeva dela in vsa njegova moč in kako je naredil bazen in kanal in privedel vodo v mesto, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?

Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

21 Ezekíja je zaspal s svojimi očeti in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Manáse.

Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
