2 Dnevnika 32
1 Poslije tijeh stvari i pošto se one utvrdiše, doðe Senahirim car Asirski, i uðe u zemlju Judinu, i opkoli tvrde gradove, i mišljaše ih osvojiti.
After these things, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself.
2 A kad vidje Jezekija gdje doðe Senahirim i gdje se okrenu da udari na Jerusalim,
And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,
3 Uèini vijeæe s knezovima svojim i s junacima svojim da zaroni izvore vodene, koji bijahu iza grada, i pomogoše mu.
he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city; and they helped him.
4 Jer se sabra mnoštvo naroda, te zaroniše sve izvore i potok koji teèe posred zemlje govoreæi: zašto kad doðu carevi Asirski da naðu toliko vode?
So there was gathered much people together, and they stopped all the fountains, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?
5 I ohrabri se, te ozida vas zid oboreni, i podiže kule, i spolja ozida još jedan zid; i utvrdi Milon u gradu Davidovu, i naèini mnogo oružja i štitova.
And he took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised [it] up to the towers, and the other wall without, and strengthened Millo [in] the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
6 I postavi vojvode nad narodom, i sabra ih k sebi na ulicu kod vrata gradskih, i govori im ljubazno i reèe:
And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,
7 Budite slobodni i hrabri, ne bojte se i ne plašite se cara Asirskoga ni svega mnoštva što je s njim, jer je s nama veæi nego s njim.
Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there is a greater with us than with him:
8 S njim je mišica tjelesna a s nama je Gospod Bog naš da nam pomože i da bije naše bojeve. I narod se osloni na rijeèi Jezekije cara Judina.
with him is an arm of flesh; but with us is Jehovah our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9 Potom Senahirim car Asirski dok bješe na Lahisu sa svom silom svojom, posla sluge svoje u Jerusalim k Jezekiji caru Judinu i ka svemu narodu Judinu koji bijaše u Jerusalimu, i poruèi:
After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him), unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,
10 Ovako veli Senahirim car Asirski: u što se uzdate, te stojite u Jerusalimu zatvoreni?
Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide the siege in Jerusalem?
11 Ne nagovara li vas Jezekija da vas pomori glaðu i žeðu govoreæi: Gospod Bog naš izbaviæe nas iz ruku cara Asirskoga?
Doth not Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
12 Nije li taj Jezekija oborio visine njegove i oltare njegove, i zapovjedio Judi i Jerusalimljanima govoreæi: klanjajte se samo pred jednijem oltarom i na njemu kadite?
Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and upon it shall ye burn incense?
13 Eda li ne znate šta sam uèinio ja i moji stari od svijeh naroda na zemlji? jesu li bogovi naroda zemaljskih mogli izbaviti zemlju svoju iz mojih ruku?
Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any wise able to deliver their land out of my hand?
14 Koji je izmeðu svijeh bogova onijeh naroda koje zatrše oci moji, mogao izbaviti svoj narod iz mojih ruku, da bi mogao vaš bog vas izbaviti iz moje ruke?
Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
15 Nemojte dakle da vas vara Jezekija i da vas tako nagovara, i ne vjerujte mu; jer nijedan bog nijednoga naroda ili carstva nije mogao izbaviti naroda svojega iz mojih ruku ni iz ruku mojih otaca, akamoli æe vaši bogovi izbaviti vas iz mojih ruku?
Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you after this manner, neither believe ye him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?
16 I još više govoriše sluge njegove na Gospoda Boga i na Jezekiju slugu njegova.
And his servants spake yet more against Jehovah God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
17 A i knjigu napisa ružeæi Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva i govoreæi na nj rijeèima: kao što bogovi naroda zemaljskih nijesu izbavili svojega naroda iz mojih ruku, tako neæe ni Bog Jezekijin izbaviti naroda svojega iz mojih ruku.
He wrote also letters, to rail on Jehovah, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand.
18 I vikahu iza glasa Judejski narodu Jerusalimskom koji bijaše na zidu da ih uplaše i smetu da bi uzeli grad.
And they cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
19 I govorahu o Bogu Jerusalimskom kao o bogovima naroda zemaljskih, koji su djelo ruku èovjeèijih.
And they spake of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men’s hands.
20 Tada se pomoli toga radi car Jezekija i prorok Isaija sin Amosov, i vapiše k nebu.
And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.
21 I posla Gospod anðela, koji pobi sve junake i vojvode i knezove u vojsci cara Asirskoga, te se vrati sa sramotom u svoju zemlju. I kad uðe u kuæu svojega boga, ubiše ga ondje maèem koji izidoše od bedara njegovijeh.
And Jehovah sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth from his own bowels slew him there with the sword.
22 Tako saèuva Gospod Jezekiju i narod Jerusalimski od ruku Senahirima cara Asirskoga i od ruku svijeh drugih, i èuva ih na sve strane.
Thus Jehovah saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all [others], and guided them on every side.
23 I mnogi donošahu dare Gospodu u Jerusalim i zaklade Jezekiji caru Judinu; i od tada se uzvisi pred svijem narodima.
And many brought gifts unto Jehovah to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
24 U to vrijeme razbolje se Jezekija na smrt, i pomoli se Gospodu, koji mu progovori i uèini mu èudo.
In those days Hezekiah was sick even unto death: and he prayed unto Jehovah; and he spake unto him, and gave him a sign.
25 Ali Jezekija ne postupi prema dobru koje mu se uèini, jer se ponese srce njegovo; zato se podiže na nj gnjev i na Judu i na Jerusalim.
But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
26 Ali se ponizi Jezekija zato što se bješe ponijelo srce njegovo, i on i Jerusalimljani, te ne doðe na njih gnjev Gospodnji za života Jezekijina.
Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Jehovah came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
27 A imaše Jezekija vrlo veliko blago i slavu; i naèini sebi riznice za srebro i zlato i za drago kamenje i za mirise i za štitove i za svakojake zaklade,
And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honor: and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of goodly vessels;
28 I staje za dohode od žita i od vina i od ulja, i staje za svakojaku stoku, i torove za ovce.
store-houses also for the increase of grain and new wine and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and flocks in folds.
29 I gradove sazida sebi, i imaše mnogo stoke, i ovaca i goveda, jer mu Bog dade veoma veliko blago.
Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance.
30 Isti Jezekija zagati gornji izvor vode Giona, i pravo je svede dolje na zapadnu stranu grada Davidova; i bijaše sreæan Jezekija u svakom poslu svom.
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
31 Samo kad doðoše poslanici knezova Vavilonskih, koji poslaše k njemu da raspitaju za èudo koje bi u zemlji, ostavi ga Bog da bi ga iskušao da bi se znalo sve što mu je u srcu.
Howbeit in [the business of] the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
32 A ostala djela Jezekijina i milosti njegove, eto, to je zapisano u utvari proroka Isaije sina Amosova i u knjizi o carevima Judinijem i Izrailjevijem.
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
33 I poèinu Jezekija kod otaca svojih, i pogreboše ga više grobova sinova Davidovijeh; i uèiniše mu na smrti èast svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani. A na njegovo se mjesto zacari Manasija sin njegov.
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
