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 unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt 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 unto the LORD, 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, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

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

And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of the LORD 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 again, and say to Hezekiah the prince of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.

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.‹«

And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine 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.

And Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. And 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?«

And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up unto the house of the LORD 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?«

And Isaiah said, This shall be the sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath 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.«

And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to decline 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.

And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: 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 Berodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

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.

And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed 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 armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah shewed them not.

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 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, They are 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.«

And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.

16 Izaija je rekel Ezekíju: »Poslušaj Gospodovo besedo:

And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.

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.

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

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

And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, 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 said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, Is it not 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, are they not 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.

And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
